OP, I have a suggestion in the Quest-running matters.

Whenever you make a new thread, be sure to start with an update of some kind. This what most quests do and it gives a good point to launch the quest. Otherwise people need to read the last thread again.

Just use the suggestions from the last thread or advance the quest a little if nothing is suggested.

rolled 16 = 16

>>16906063

This was my suggestion for a wife incase you didn't realise. Yaks make good wives. No one cares if you beat them, or let the village ride them to their hearts content.

Anyway, the suggestions from the previous thread.
>Now upgrade lumber mills.
>Increase the patrol on our borders.

>Well, in that case it might be a good idea to get to know more about Cyrillia. She's pretty much the only woman with a name in our chieftain's life.

>>16906096
>>16906063
Nope.

>>16906075

Now where were we?

-Our ranges at Aville border reports us that armies of Aville are gathering near te borders. They are 5000 men strong.

-Still we have a coal shortage.

-Your advi... Yeah you know the drill.

-Our armies organization are now compelete.

>>16906095

Okay will try...

>>16906114
>-Our ranges at Aville border reports us that armies of Aville are gathering near te borders. They are 5000 men strong.

Is there anyway we could prepare for the invasion?
I am drawing a blank but perhaps our people could advise something?

I don't just mean training soldiers and good equipment but somehow using the terrain to our advantage, setting up defenses, traps and ambushes, etc

>>16906112

>Nope.

Fair enough. Worth a try.

>>16906136

Your advisors are divided. Some claim its better to meet them on open fields or set an ambush while others say that defending Ravenholm would be safer.

Can we request aid from the tribes of the great forest?

>>16906178
I say we set up ambush on open fields.

I am pretty sure this kind of warfare is what our people are more used to .... especially the Berserkers.

Oh, speaking of Berserkers. Did we develop that potion further? I suggested we turn it into some kind of battle-enchanching drug.
That+Berserkers = InstantRape!

>>16906178

Ambush. The best defense is an overwhelming offense.

rolled 92 = 92

>>16906194
Rolling for this

rolled 72 = 72

>>16906196
An ambush in an open field? I'm in.

>>16906196

That incident gave us some good results but still we are far away from perfecting it And alchemist refuse to make any tests on berserkers, fearing the results.

>>16906210
BUT IT NEEDS TO BE DEVELOPED!
If they are afraid of Berserkers, then test it on something else.... animals or just regular soldier in a contained environment.

This could prove vital in the war. Imagine the rampage! Those pansies will never know what hit them!

Hmmm, perhaps we can ask Cyrillia for help? Her psyker powers could restrain anyone from going on rampage.

>>16906202
>>16906206

We don't have to roll on anything....

>>16906227

Actually some succes rolls would be nice.

rolled 90 = 90

>>16906238
Well, I meant to say "unless DM asks to"

Okay, rollan for.... something

ffff I have to catch up on the last thread, I missed it because I got back on a reasonable schedule instead of staying awake until noon and then sleeping until 6pm.

So we are moving the whole army i guess?

>>16906263
THE POTION
DEVELOP THE POTION!

>>16906257
>>16906227

ALso, you missed this >>16906112

>>16906304

İt will take 2 weeks to perfect it which you dont have. Rangers expect army of Aville to attack within the week.

Send Cyrillia to ask for her tribe's aid per this roll >>16906202

Ready our army the meet them in the open field.

>>16906365
Sigh... and I had suggested that immediately after the Berserker incident. If you had took notice of it back then, then perhaps we would have it.
Anyway, does that mean that they are at least working on it RIGHT NOW?

Okay then. Move the army for the ambush. Use this >>16906257 roll if you need any.

But leave small garrison in Ravenhold.

>>16906393

Define small in numbers and such.

>>16906401
Dunno... like 50 Warriors and 50 rangers?

Here is the battlemap. You arrived before enemy so you can deploy first. The black dot represents one warband.

Most type of units can hide in forest.

İn long grass berserker and rangers can hide.

How does this sound, guys?

>>16906470
>>16906491

Let our advisers see this plan and comment on it.

>>16906578
What if we wait till they're in the middle of the river and hit them with bowmen to start the battle off?

>>16906578
The idea is to Show the warriors, Chosen and one Ranger band as the only army.
The enemy, seeing our weaker army will charge over the river to meet us and when they are half-way across our ambush will be sprung and they will be attacked from all sides, leaving none alive!

>>16906578
Fuck, u have talent my son.

is the IRC channel up? I can't find it.

>>16906610
Well, I was hoping that half of the army would cross while the other half would still be in water or on the other side when we clash.

>>16906619
Hey, thanks

>>16906578
Oh!
Also, provide our Warriors and Chose with (bigger) shields, in case they decide to snipe use over the river.

IRC channel is now online.

Also that anon is one magnificent bastard.

Wait, the enemy has 5.000 effectives?

And what tipe of troops has? Levys, Knights, Horse archers, Pikeman, Bowman, Maceman...?

>>16906653
How do you join channels without selecting them from the list, I can't find it on the list.

>>16906687

İt should be online now. Just repaired it.

>>16906686

3000 militia
200 knights( chainmail+leather combination. Large kite shields and long lances.)
600 peasent archer
600 swordsmen
600 levy

Also

join #TribeToEmpireQUEST should work.

>>16906779
Right, they first send the militia as body shields and then the main army.

Spring the ambush only after the main army arrives.

>>16906790
We should try to spare as many peasants as possible. There's no honor killing untrained non-warriors.

Don't forget to get opinions from our advisers on the battle plan!

greys are knight.
purples are militia.
blacks are archers.
Gay colours are swordsmen.

>>16906916
Our plan is still pretty much the same (don't forget we have raiders off screen!).
When we spring the ambush, 1 warband of berserkers should focus on Archers.

(did you provide all of our warriors and Chose on the open field with big shields?)

Perhaps we should move our rangers here?

And move our main line forward, to cut them down as soon as they get near the shore?
That might work better.

Then we retreat, luring them out and spring the trap!

OP?

Was in the bath sorry. Just returned.

rolled 59 = 59

Well if a Roll you need... Alas,Try to capture the knight and don't kill em if possible, for future ransom.

round 2

Milita's are now in charge range.

Rangers can shoot swordsmen and all that militia accurately.

Aslo will you join the combat personally? From where?

>>16907283
Engage in Melee.
The rangers should attack the swordsmen.

We will fight for a round or two before retreating.

>>16907295
Yeah, we are among the Chosen in the middle with Bjorn at our side.

>>16907346
Of course our Migthy chieftain will charge through the ranks of these pesky weakling. Alas, where is our Goat Horde?

rolling, let's hope that i don't roll low

Enemy militia ranks charged at your trained, northren well equipped soldiers after just passing a stream. Yeah it was idiotic. You soldiers just countercharged after enemy ranks just stepped out from the river.

Casualities.
Aville
700 militia
Corvus
70 swordsmen
3 chosen

Your rangers carefully picking their targets unleashed hell upon enemy swordsmen but enemy swordsmen shrugged the most of it thanks to their shields.

Casualities

Aville
80 swordsmen

Aville swordsmen ranks clashed into chosen ranks who were guarding the rangers. Though they fared batter than militia still odds were against them.

Casualities

Hey, OP, will you chose best of two rolls? Would suck if our legendary warrior skills were fucked up by rolling below 10

>>16907510

You charge into swordsmen ranks. Bjorn at your side you two descend upon the enemy like an iron hammer. Quickly putting your sword to work you disembowel first enemy and behead the second while Bjorn cleaves another into two. Soon corpses of enemy soldiers make up small hills which you climb atop on continue to fight. Still you are getting tired and recieving some fresh wounds.

Casualities
Aville
50 swordsmen

>>16907587

Okay, here is the deal:

The knights seem to be unwilling to move, so we prepare to send raiders against them and one Berserkers.

Our Main line will make fighting, slow retreat, assembling in such a way that when the berserkers rush out of the forest, most of the enemy Army will be right infront of them.

The chose from the left-most warband must evenly protect our rangers and fight the swrodsmen, a warrior warband will assist them in this.

Sound alright?

>>16907644
sounds good

>>16907644
>>16907657

Are you sure of this plan?

>>16907687
nope but it's better than no plan

>>16907687
Is there something wrong with it?

>>16907732
>>16907704

When battle lines are locked a retreat action will cause loss of troops especiall when fighting a force wihch is double your size and consider that your chosen are wearing heavy armour. Secondarly 50 berserker would be crushed by 50 knights which knights owuld absolutelty do. 150 to deal with raider other 50 to berserkers and remember this. Knights are elite heavy cav...

>>16907746
looks like it's back to the drawing board for us

>>16907746
Okay, scrap that then.
No retreating, I guess. I thought that retreating while fighting would work.

NEW PLAN!

>>16907859
It isn't made with paint, no?

>>16907859
This but the bezserkers closest to the archers should charge into them and wreck them (hopefully).

Round 3

Razsgath looks at the battle unfolding before him. He feels his blood burning. He wants to be there, in the thick of fight. Crusing and battering his enemies, tearing them limb from limb. He waits in excitement. When the horn who is signal for them to cahrge echoes in forest his heart skips a beat. Raising his axes high he roars jumps out of the forest ready to yell his battle..... Wait.... He stops for a minute. His berserkers stop right beside him. He turns to nearest one.

-What the fuck was our battlecry?
-How the heck i should know. İf you dont know what it is then it means we dont have one.
-Wait now you mean... we dont have a FUCKİNG BATTLECRY!!!
-İt seems bro.
-FUCK!! Okay need to think fast. Something old school.

He thinks for a second.

-Okay here is our battle cry. Follow me now.

He starts charging again, taking a deep breath then...

-RAPE THEİR BACKS!!!!

Most of the militia shit themselves...

Casualities

Aville
1200 Militia
Also morale broken for remaining militias. They will try to retreat in next round.

Corvus
23 berserkers
90 swordsmen

Swift Johan looks at her raiders assembled. She orders 90 of them to sat put while remaining 80 to follow her. İt was time to earn themselves some honour. And damn she wont let all glory taken by others. Finnaly horn signalling for Raiders echoes. She draws her sword and points at the enemy.

-Brave riders. Like the wind itself. CHARGE!!! STORM THEM!!

She yells and gallops her horse, her raiders follow do the same.

You look at the enemy swordsmen. You just look. They dare to stand before you. They dare to raide their swords. THEY DARE TO EVEN LİVE!! You fury radiates from you. Swordsmen near you immidiately tries to run away. One falls on his sword. Other breaks his leg. You take a step... then another... and another and suddenly you are among them. Like whirlwind you cut them down mercilesly. They die in dozens. And you somewhere in the afterlife you make an old man proud.

Casualities

Aville

>>16908046
Fuck men, no one will survive this time . Try to capture some for ransom.

You know. A farmers life is boring one. With nothing good in it, just hardships and misfortunes. And when your intolerable life just goes bullshit in a morning suddenly a life in the army can seemd to be a good exit. Especially when you are in archer battalions. You travel around, get paid at least for your efforts, have better meals than farmers and you dont have to get blood on your uniform most of the times. At least that was what Jonas though until he saw 100 half naked barbarian rushing out from the forest headed straight for them. Not the mention also being used as target practice as barbarian archers. He looked at the oncoming berserkers.

-Wow. This sucks.

Was all he could manage before one of the berserkers slammed into him, knocking him out but not killing him outright. İt was by some strange luck Jonas would live to see another day. Other archers... Probably not.

Casualities

Aville
437 archer killed
remaining are taken prisoner

Corvus
16 berserker

Well crosses are basically piles of dead or captured enemies.

Most of the enemy army is routing.

Okay,
so the berserkers move a little bit near the river to lure the knights.
The rangers move near the river to shoot the knights.
The raiders move to flank the Knights.
The final berserker warband moves to attack the knights.

The rest can also assist the attack on the knights.

>>16908326
Use the raiders to take out as many of the retreating enemy as possible (with the exception of the heavy cavalry) and the bezserkers that the cavalry are charging at go into a loose square formation and let the cavalry get through the side they charge into, then they all close up and hack them to bits. Failing that could the bezserkers retreat back over the river without being caught by the cavalry?

>>16908404

They would be caught when crossing river.

>>16908416
Yeah I thought as much.

>>16908376
Please guys ,try to capture them and don't kill the horses. They can be usefull.

asking for our survival rate, how many troops we have of all types.

>>16908404
How about this but with the bezserkers trying to kill the riders not the horses and if we see the retreating cavalry coming back into the fold they retreat back over the river where we have the numerical advantage.

MFW

Well knights change their direction when they see berserkers trying to cut off the escape of routing militia Quickly they turn back to attack berserker who just came out from the woods. Their presence seem to somehow rally the militia too. Knights and militia slammed into berkserkers. Berserkerrs fought like lions. Bringing many down but eventually they were cut down. Only 7 survived of 50. But fortunes turned once more when Johan and her raiders come to the aid of berserkers. Most of the knights were covering the escape of militia are brought down and remaining ones fled the field. One knight who was captured while he tried to buy some time for his knights to retreat. His heroic gambit was succesfull but led to him being caught by Johan in a 1 vs 1.

Casualities

Aville
23 knights
250 militia

Corvus

Also one knight is taken prisoner.

You look over the battlefield, littered by the dead. Mostly of enemies. A victory was won here, and the prize seemed to be cheap, but really was it that cheap. Didnt lives of other matter. You dont know or you dont care. Only thing for sure. More lives will be lost in upcoming wars, more blood will be spilled. Still there were hope. And you will continue to fight for it. Fight for your own people. Fight for those who showed bravery and lost their lives in wars, be it your own kin or enemy. Dead shall be remembered for their deeds, and be venerate for them.

You gave orders to your apothecaries to heal all wounded, be it ally or enemy. Then turned your back to this grim scene. You knew that for those with worthy souls will taken under the wings of the crow.

>>16908800
Right, lets interrogate those prisoners.
