"Well done, Corporal Prince." The burly Black Company Head-of-Supply Quar Tel shakes your hand, the bag of Gelt and silver swapping owners in the exchange. "That should show those corpse-fekkers that Black Company Supply means business."

There had been an awkward moment earlier when Quar Tel had asked for proof of the cultist quatermaster's death. Luckily Trooper Schuster had filched his signet ring while you were busy uncovering fresh fuel for your nightmare hours. The ring was worthless, but tacky and recognisable enough for Quar Tel to accept it as proof. You make a mental note to remember to take some form of proof of a completed job in the future when necessary.

"Obviously any number of cultists are no match for you Kriegstrom lads." Quar Tel continues "But it takes some serious stones to be willing to risk pissing off our employer's sister. Tell you what, we've just finished taking stock of things now and we've got a few items that'll suit your needs. I'll give you a one time 15% discount on one of our stands, you can cash it in today or tommorow."

Quar Tel is the worst kind of Black Company Supplyman, the type that's actually decent in a brawl so you can't just intimidate him into requisitioning supplies. Luckily it was a few other Corporals that tried it before been showed the error of their ways. Of course everyone whinges about it, but that's just what soldiers do. If you're honest with yourself you'll admit he's always been firm but fair in his management of supplies.

"Good pay gets you men with the stones to earn it, glad to be of service." You say, chucking the pouch to Trooper Schuster who proceeds to count it.

1 Gelt per man, or woman as it were, not bad for an easy job of cutting down some untrained cultists. Schuster will spend it on drinks and dice, for sure. Belhamun might be a little wiser with his earnings...or he might be swindled out of it if he doesn't understand the local currency. And Mask? You don't even know what Mask could spend money on.

Sweet, still enough for cards with the lads tonight.

---------------------------------------

Well, you know what they say, a man can never have too many knives. A dagger in the right place can mean all the difference, so you take four or five of them and place them all over.

The daggers are just common sense though, what really catches your eye is the cloak. It's a damn fine looking piece of gear, so you don't feel too bad spending most of your earnings on it.

Clasping the thing on, you cut quite a striking figure. Or so you suppose, Quar Tel doesn't have a mirror on hand but a nearby polished breastplate suffices. Turning to your squaddies still dividing their share of the job-money you muster what your idea of an authoritive sounding voice is and ask:

"SO HOW DO I LOOK?"

Trooper Belhamun, his back turned to you, jumps off the crate he was sitting on at your booming voice babbling in his home language. Trooper Schuster breaks out into fits of laughter seeing him virtually dive into Mask's arms.

"Damnation boss, ain't nobody going to be ignoring you when you have something to say now. Can you turn it off?"

"OH ER YEs I think so. There." Looks like you only have to will it on and off again, easy as stealing pie.

"Anyway boss, I think we should be getting back to the others. Lancer 'Jack' must be-" Trooper Schuster trails off as she looks behind you.

"Corporal Prince!"

"Sir!" You respond automatically, recognising the authoritive tone of the Liuetenant from anywhere. Sure, the Company has 13 Lieutenants and he probably has an actual name after the rank, but he's the one in charge of the Kriegstrom so he's the only one you lot pay any heed to.

"Your new addition to the squad has their paperwork all sorted?"

"Yes, sir."

"Named 'Kid', was it?"

"Yes, sir."

"They all equipped?"

"Yes, sir." You wonder, for the millionth time, why all officers feel the need to ask questions they already know the answer to.

"Good, send them my way. The Annalist is ready to swear him in officially."

"Yes, sir." You remember saying the words yourself all those years ago, I etc etc do solemnly swear blah-blah. Important stuff of course, but you don't need to be there for it really.

You nod, technically the 'Kid' was Black Company the moment they were entered into the paybook, but it doesn't really count until you say the words and the Annalist writes your name in his books. Tradition is important.

"I'll take them there myself."

The Lieutenant shakes his head. "Not you, Prince. I appreciate your willingness to observe the tradition, but the Lord-Captain wants a word with you."

Oh sweet, you don't have to sit through another boring (though important, really) swearing in. Wait, did he say Lord-Captain?

Fek.

About 5 minutes later you find yourself in Lord-Captain Kiranova's tent, standing in front of Lord-Captain Kiranova's desk. What could she want? Kill you? Screw you? Oh no... promote you? There's... well to say 'history between you' is putting it lightly, but you can't stop yourself from tensing up when you hear her approach from outside.

Ruthless, ex-lover, comrade. The fact that she's the Lord-Captain overrules all these things. You snap to a flashy intention when The Captain enters the tent. She pauses a moment, inspecting your posture you assume, before taking a seat.

"At ease, Corporal." Yep, no hint of tenderness there. And no more than the usual amount of disdain either. You guess this is just business then, Then again, 'Cut-throat' Kiranova always was a cold-hearted bitch. Could be she just honestly doesn't give a damn about your mutual past.

"Rumour spreads fast in the Company, I'm guessing you've already heard the final assault is tommorrow night. The undead horde has been assailing the walls for the past few days, not making much progress without proper siege equipment of course, but enough to keep the defender's on the walls constantly while our engineers have been constructing siege-towers."

"Yes, Lord-Captain."

"Captain is fine, Corporal, the 'Lord' part is just an honorific." She waves her hand. "Anyway, our employer is growing impatient. He wants something in place to guarentee the fall of Sarsburg should the main assault falter. To that end he has demanded a Squad of Kriegstrom Shock Troops to sieze a side gateway during the assault, escort some cultists specialists in or somesuch, and provide a bodyguard detail while they do their work. They've not chosen to elighten me with the details of what they're doing, but I'm offering double-pay to anyone willing to take them on."

That's... interesting. You wonder if you're even the first Kriegstrom Corporal she made this offer to. And why is it 'voluntary'? Really she could just order a squad to go.

Still...double pay....

Double pay? Doing the mental math in your head you figure that to be around twice as much as normal. Sweet.

"I'm your man, Captain." You grin hungrily. "You had me at 'double pay'."

The Captain arches an eyebrow at you. "Double pay was the very last thing I said."

"Yeah, well it worked didn't it?" You're still grinning at the thought of you swimming in Gelt.

"Damn, fool." She sighs "You haven't changed a bit. Dismissed."

"Oh and Corproal Prince?" You halt at tent's entrance. "Don't get yourself killed, that's an order."

"That's always the plan, Captain." You chuckle darkly "That's always the plan..."

Finally, business done for the day, you make your way over to where your old comrades have set up a makeshift card table. Around it sit your fellow Brothers, lads who have been Black Company just as long as you.

CPL 'Trots' Damien of the 12th Cavalry. Tempestuous and daring, he's been demoted and promoted to every rank between First Lieutenant and common Trooper. CPL Hadrien 'Bad Hand' of the 8th Kriegstrom. Strong, loud, dependable... and utterly insane. CPL 'Whisper' Smythe of the 10th Rangers. Withdrawn and sullen around others, many might consider him 'creepy'. And Sergeant 'Blind' Griff of the 2nd Infantry. Clever and dependable, you both signed up to Black Company on the very same day.

Bless your soppy black heart, but it's good to see them. There's a little bit of silver on the table, not enough to bankrupt anyone. Like the others, you play this more for the tradition of getting all your bad luck out of the way before a big battle. That and to keep your mind off it.

"You're late, brother." Corporal Hadrien 'Bad Hand' grunts as you finally take your seat that the table.

"And you're losing, brother." You shoot back, pointing out his rapidly dwindling coinage. "Deal me in on the next round."

"You sure about that, Prince?" Corporal Hadrien grins at you manically.

"There's no way. No. Way. You're mad. Stark raving. No way you have a Widow."

"Try me then, brother."

You gaze balefully at your old friend, Hadrien. There's a lot riding on this.

"Fine, I'll call it. And I'll raise you 5." Showing your hand after a few more coins enter play.

"...Fek you." 'Bad Hand' scowls chucking his cards down. "Everytime. How do you fekkin do it?"

...

"So." Sergeant Griff says casually, totally trying to distract you from his god-awful hand "Sarsburg is fuck. Whisper says there's no sign of the Chev's or knife-ears within marching distance."

Corpral Smythe grunts sullenly in agreement, either because he's always like that or because he just folded. With the chatter turns to the campaign, each man offering his own opinion on the Necromancer's next move.

Corporal Damien shrugs, turning to you. "What do you think, Prince?"

"He'll push South to the Isle of Mages." You nod with confidence "He'll want any sorceror or mage that can hold a candle to him deader than his army."

"Makes sense." Sergeant Griff grunts "If there's one thing that wizards hate, it's other wizards."

You spend the rest of the evening amiably with your brothers, complaining about the lack of this or that (mostly coin, women and good food) and sharing warries (war stories) that you've all heard a dozen times before. Eventually you pack away your earnings and the group breaks up.

Corporal Hadrien 'Bad Hand' pulls you aside as the two of you leave.

"Listen brother, it's the Big One tommorow, right?" You notice him shifting on his feet nervously. Anything that makes crazy Hadrien nervous tends to make you nervous.

"...And?"

"And well, we all have affairs we need to settle, right? Regrets, last wishes and the like..."

Oh no he didn't. He's talking about a Death Note, isn't he? That's the worst kind of luck before a big battle.

"Oh no you don't, brother. I'm not holding onto your teary letter for some lass you've got stowed away. Not doing it."

"You don't have to deliver nothing to nobody, I swear. Just... just read it if, well you know..." He looks at you imploringly "Please, brother!"

"Fine." Snatching the damn Death Note out of his hands. "Fekking hell, 'Bad Hand'. If you die I'm going to kill you."

"Aye you can damn well try, Prince." Corporal Hadrien grins. "Night brother, sleep well. And keep an eye out on the way back to your tent, I heard something got out of the Cultist Encampment, a few Yellow Dogs have gone missing."

He's just saying that, surely? True or not, nothing gobbles you up on the way to your tent. You find a cup of Darkwood Tea waiting for you, probably brewed up by Kid. It's cold now, but after so many days without it's still appreciated. You knew you saved him/her for a reason.

....

It's a day like any other; wake up, shave, meditate. You slept well, the Tea might have helped, and you find yourself free for a bit before the demands of the day call upon you.

It's baffling to me that anyone even bothers responding to samefag accusations.

Equally baffling is that people keep posting meaningless screenshots that take a few seconds in paint to alter and think it's compelling evidence.

You can't prove you're not samefagging, they can't prove you are. Why this circular argument gets started is beyond me.

I require rolls. 5 1d100 should do it, looking for Doubles.

Good job that man.

>>41468930
What are you trying to pull? (I guess 00 is still a double though). Literally the only time in this quest that this roll wouldn't fuck you over haha, lucky bastard.

----------------------------------------

You return to your spot, clearing out the surrounding noise as best you can.

The coming battle, your purse, worries over right and wrong critiquing swordplay techniques, all these eventually empty your mind. A calm washes over you,and for one moment you feel more -alive-.

As the first rays of the rising sun wash over you, you are struck by a sudden realization.

does meditation always let us unlock a skill temporarily?

>>41469409
Since he asked for doubles in five rolls, probably not always, but there's a decent chance. I like that in the way it allows us to try skills without committing.

Okay then. Looks like Face Me was in the lead anyway.

>>41469409
Not always, I'd only allow this sort of thing before 'The Big One' (major engagements). Unfortunately you won't be able to spam meditation for the day-to-day grind.

With your medidation finished, you set about with the business of the day. You'll want your squad resting in the afternoon if you're stepping off in the dead of night. But there should be time enough to do something to keep their minds off the 'Big One' until then.

Take turns cutting off Mask's limbs as some kind of training. I guess. That's probably a bad idea.

I don't fancy boring them to death with meaningless drill training, and getting them to earn extra coin at the post will just have them up carousing.

Damn this Cloak is nifty. It's like your voice is amplified to twice it's normal volume. Drill-Sergeant Casker couldn't hope to hold a candle to you, even if he wasn't 3 years in the ground. You wonder if this cloak also works while singing...

Sadly, you're so enraptured by your new toy that you don't pay enough attention to the actual progress being made. The Squad doesn't get any better, but they do maintain the standard set from yesterday.

> Squad Combat +5 remains in action, no other effects.

With that all done, you and Lancer 'Jack' make sure the squad sits down, gets some water and rest up. It's going to be a long night after all. You spend your time with the squad, addressing little worries or issues each might have, generally reassuring them and other 'leader-stuff'.

In particular you talk to:

> Knight-of-the-Line Pietre Verdun
> Knight-of-the-Line Mask

Gotta psych up the kid for his first blood & see if Jack thinks the squad is ready for their first real mission.

Been off of /tg/ for ages, come back to find out a black company thread has started? Holy hell this is awesome. Gonna go read up on the other threads, anyone care to give me a quick abbreviation though so I can participate while I catch up?

>>41470052
Why are we killing our employer's cultists?

>>41470080
Cuz they are assholes

>>41470080
Cause they weren't giving us the food supplies we needed so we went and 'asked' for more.

Also we got silver for doing it.

>>41470023
It's not exactly faithful to the original beyond the Annalist and other pieces.

That's not to say it isn't cannon it's just that this portion of the Black Company split hundreds of years ago and winded up in this fantasy-world. Magic is... different. Not so OP given the drawbacks they entail.

>>41470080
Because you were paid to. What a silly question.

>>41470110
I mean to say the Black Company books are still cannon, just not really relevant given the time and space difference.

>>41470080
We didn't do shit, corporal Aeron sliced those cultists up.

>>41470125
That being our Alias, delivered Dio style. Sorry forgot you said you didn't read the earlier threads.

>>41470125
>>41470110
I don't care if it's faithful to the books or not. I'm about half way through the first thread right now and it's looking fairly interesting.

I just want to see some nitty gritty soldiers fucking up anything that gets in their way with any means necessary. As long as you're faithful to that part of the books, we'll be good.

>>41470181
No worries, I'm working on them. Thanks for the help bringing me up to speed on current events.

"Hey there, Trooper. Finally said the words, huh?"

Kid shakes their head.

"...what do you mean, no?"

"I was there, boss." Trooper Schuster pipes up "Kid didn't make nary a peep. Annalist had to get the words written down and signed, all awkward-like."

Well Dark-fekking-Father. Come to think of it you don't remember Kid speaking at all, even when they were about to throw them in the Pit.

"Can...can you talk at all, lad?"

Kid makes a croaking noise and shakes his/her head. You guess that answers that. Speaking of which...

"Kid. Are you a boy or a girl?"

Needless to say Kid stares at you like you asked what colour undergarments Sergeant Frowns-at-Children is wearing today.

"Right, nevermind. What have you got there?"

Kid hands you the piece of cloth they've been stitching up.

Hope it's not too dorky, tried to go with your recommendations from the previous thread. Obviously open to better designs for the Black Banner.

The mystery of Kids gender still unresolved, you offer a few more reassuring words. You correct their stance on a few things, offer some tips. Finally, you tell them to stay at the back of the fighting. They'll be fine just waving that banner around, knifing anyone that comes too close.

"Corporal." Lance Corporal 'Jack' Marcus grunts as you approach.

"Marcus." You pause, looking out at the sunset over Sarsburg. Might be the last sunset a lot of people ever see. "...you think they're ready?"

Marcus doesn't answer for a long while. "No, Prince." he sighs "But they never are."

You guess he has a point there. Sieges are nasty things. On a battlefield you can hold formations easily enough, stand your ground and rely on the man next to you. But cities? Things tend to get messy.

"I always wanted to go to Sarsburg." Marcus says wistfully "As a kid, you know? Make my fortune in the Golden City, retire and have a dozen kids. Still thought I'd do it after my service. But then the wars started, and they never stopped. And here I am, at the gates of my own country... on the other side."

"Having second thoughts?" You glance at him sideways.

"No." He says with feeling "I've made my choices, I'm a brother of the Black Company. And that's that."

The two of you sit like that silently for a while. You wonder if you'll have to bury another friend tomorrow, or if this time they'll be burying you.

>>41470721

I agree with these two. Let's check the post for anything that could be accomplished mid-battle, then find a nice secluded spot to drink some of that tea before our major fight. Clear our head, and prepare for the upcoming battle.

Then we find the troops, tell them to keep their shit together, and go sack a city.

Grab a final bit to eat / stash some food for later.

Finishing what might be your last good cuppa of Darkwood Tea (nice and hot this time, good job Kid) you gather your squad, gear stowed away, blades sharpened and hard looks all around. Even Kid has a sort-of fierce scowl to match Smiles-at-Dice. Sure, maybe Marcus is right to say no one can be truly ready for this. But they're as ready as they'll ever be.

Stepping off, you decide to take one last look at The Post. It all seems the same, there'll definitely be plenty of new jobs when the city falls, but it can't hurt to look. Looks like some Yellow Dogs turned in the 'Runaways', and some Turncoat boys took the 'Most Wanted' job.

Job: Kill 4 Turncoat Soldiers
Employer: Packmaster Farral
Yesterday a few Turncoat pricks killed a few of our boys in the Den. I don't care if you get the ones who did it, just bring me some Turncoat scalps.
Reward: 50 Silver on completion, bonus 10 for every extra kill.

>Ransom
Job: Escort the Prisoner and collet the ransom
Employer: BloodKnight Dortarra, second to Lord Vermillio
A ransom has been agreed upon for some sniveling Chevalisse pup. The ransomers are disinclined to treat with us, so mortals are required to make the actual exchange. Take the prisoner to the Farmhouse South-West of here and await their arrival.
Reward: 40 silver, Full Rights to Loot (Undead mission bonus)

>Burn it to the Ground
Job: Raze the Chapel, FULL SQUAD REQUIRED
Employer: Superior Syka
The Temple of Saint Meriam to the South-East is an affront to our Unholy Work. My Glorious Brother's forces are busy with the siege of Sarsburg, so your services are necessary. Leave nothing standing, a bonus will be offered for any prisoners. Our sacrificial altars for the blood of the Neumunster Faithful.
Reward: 2 Gelt, Full Rights to Loot (Undead mission bonus)

Oh wait, there's one more...

Regarding Black Banner:

I made a mockup for our personal banner but I don't have the image with me now since I didn't expect another run before 31st. Has the image on the banner been decided yet? Skimming the thread, I didn't notice anything.

Trooper Schuster is trying her damned hardest not to giggle uncontrollably and failing, Trooper Belhamun looks just as confused as always and Mask is... humming? Maybe that's his laugh. Freaky.

We do have to be careful if we take this approach. We're dealing with a necromancer. Who knows to what degree of sentience he can revive a corpse with. If we make ourselves too much of a nuisance, then there's a good chance the necromancer may want to bring back whatever corpse we bring to him for a good taunting.

Not a bad plan. Unless you're recognized by the cultists that survived the other day when you hand in the bounty.

That and explaining to your superiors why you took on a job regarding an alleged fellow Brother.

>>41471420
Really it's the Necromaner's sister that you're pissing off. But that's not to say she wouldn't have the same capability with regards to that...

>>41471446
Ah right, still catching up. Am only just now getting to the part where we decide to save the kid.

>>41471446
so lets just do the church building mission and remove any doubts that this mysterious man is not us, or get something to cover our face.
So lets save up for new armour and only wear different armour when its time to pretend to be some one else.

Rolled 2 (1d2)

>>41471436

We could perhaps convince Syka that Aeron is a vengeful spirit of the black company and that all this ahem 'necromancy energy' is causing him to be more active. Not much she could do if she believes him to be a by-product of her brother's powers.

>>41471446
So let's try and make ourselves indispensable. And if possible kill one or two of the cultists that saw us, if we can do it with out anyone finding out.
the less people know about us in that situation, the better.

>>41471511

>>41471500
You find yourself insulted by the paltry bounty, but decide to put on a show for anyone watching. Besides, the squad could use a laugh.

"What manner of black-hearted villainy is this?" You raise your fist to the skies indignantly. "Rest easy, Troopers, I swear on my honour I shall bring this Corporal Aeron to justice!"

It's nervous laughter, sure, with their mind on the imminent threat of death and all, but it's laughter nonetheless. A good chuckle takes the edge off the fear you know they're all feeling, and even the dour Marcus has a sly grin at your antics.

So this is it. You've followed every dirty trick in the book of dirty tricks. Mud on the face, dulled the shine of your blades and armour the same way, and Smiles-at-Dice even took time to cover the two ladders in branches and leaves. And himself.

The Southernmost walls of Sarsburg loom ahead of you. These Neumunster boys aren't thick, they've cleared a nice portion of land between the trees you're hiding in and the wall itself. But with the main assault hit the North-West, you can already hear the din of battle and the lights in the sky as flaming arrows and catapults hurl bacck and forth, you doubt they'll have spared much manpower here. With any luck they'll be focusing on the obvious attack, not this one.

You take a deep breath, closing your eyes as you breathe out slowly. With a raised hand you signal your squad, here goes nothing.

The Big One is called as much for a reason. Sacking a city will probably take up most of the next thread, we're just kicking things off here.

> 7 (STRONG SUCCESS)

You and your squad whisk away up the slope, nary as whisper is heard from the ramparts as you raised the ladder. Good thing you put cloth on the end as well, there's not so much as a clack when it's in place.

Taking Best 2 of 3. 1d100, quietly now.

next thread when?

>>41471740
I have an exam on the 31st I need to be studying for, and I'm hoping to fit in a session with my real-life group that weekend (Pathfinder or Only War). But certainly very early next month.

>>41471726
>> "Up and at em, lads." Take the lead.
We're a leader. Of course we lead.

(Side note, I hate these captcha's. They made me call a plate of ribs a steak, and a cardboard hobo sign a "street sign")

In addition, the critical means you have a whole extra round (now 4) to take out the Gatehouse guards without raising the alarm, and you will not take damage on your first round regardless of how bad your rolls are.

Leading by example and all that noble rubbish, you go first. The gatehouse is less than 40 paces to your right, and there's not a soul looking in your direction as the rest of the squad clambers up.

The first Neumunster soldier you spot never sees you, too busy grimly watching the fireworks to the North until your hand clamps over his mouth and finish him, quiet-like, with a dagger. You knew those would come in handy.

COMBATANTS
x9 Neumunster Halberdiers
x1 Neumunster Sergeant

For anyone unclear on how combat works, refer to the previous thread (halfway through). I can explain any lingering questions.

Basics

Personal Combat DC starts out at DC50. Your positive attributes add to the DC and your opponent's detracts from it. For every 5 or more points you beat the DC by, the opponent takes a point of damage (same for failing the DC).

Squad Combat is Squad rolls vs Enemy rolls, so higher is better.

Three 1d100, selecting Best 2 of 3.

------------------------

"Sergeant, watch out!" One of the Halberdiers cries out.

With a grunt the grizzled warrior jumps out of the way of your massive blade. He's a quick one, you think, pressing the attack before he can get on his feet.

Nah, he just has terminal blurryitis, which causes parts of your body to appear out of focus.

---------------------------

It's a slaughter as your squad falls upon the surprised Neumunster troops. Some don't even have time to draw their weapons as your troopers sink into them. With Pietre Verdun and Mask competing with one another for kills, in a matter of seconds the room quickly becomes a charnel house.

The Neumunster Sergeant is fast, but these close quarters don't really leave him much room to maneuver.

Parrying a blow with a shaft of his halberd, he shouts to his few remaining men.

"Hold your ground! You're fighting for your homes, your famili-AGH!" You cut him off by smashing his polearm in two, slashing his left arm in the process. Backed into a corner, he draws his swortsword with good hand.

----------------------------

> "He's mine." Kill the Sergeant yourself
> "Get them!" Allow some of the squad to assit you (adds to DC)

>>41472219

>>41472247
There's so many dice in Squad Combat that there's no crit. A piss poor roll is just a piss poor roll, I take the average of your rolls then add whatever bonuses apply.

I only make one roll for your foe so >>41472119 doesn't count.

>>41472264
>> "He's mine." Kill the Sergeant yourself
we should be able to do this.

>>41472264
>> "He's mine." Kill the Sergeant yourself
I mean, how will it look if we don't get any kills and our subordinates mop them all up?

>>41472264
>"He's mine." Kill the Sergeant yourself
use our one hit kill skill, nigga is at less than 50% HP.

>>41472264
> "He's mine." Kill the Sergeant yourself
less than 50% health means instakill chance lets go

>>41472264
> "He's mine." Kill the Sergeant yourself

Rolled 1, 5, 8 = 14 (3d10)

>>41472264
You blood is up, eager to take this grizzled warrior down "This one is mine."

"I'm not going down that easily, bastard!" The Sergeant spits, leaping at you with a snarl.

Meanwhile, the Halberdiers scramble to form something approach a defence, throwing tables and chairs up as they back away to the edge of the room.
