7th Kriegstrom Platoon
Comprised of the most well-armed and armoured troops, 7th Platoon offers the meanest, fiercest and, given the mortality rate, dumbest soldiers to be found in the Black Company. A more bizarre collection of fighting men and women has likely never been seen. Down-on-their-luck heroes with a magic swords and brooding pasts like Cairsun; escaped slaves with a penchant for magik like Nissar; disgruntled veterans of the Nuemunster Legions like Corporal ‘Jack’ Marcus; Scarred Wildborn ‘Smiles’ (because fighting is really all a Wildborn knows); aging Skald huscarls like Hirstun of Ligh that should have retired long ago. You even have a mute rotten undead warrior, ‘Mask’, which is one even you haven’t heard before. Nevermind the fekking Dragon.

They’re your men (and women). Mercenaries, that kill for money. Warriors, with the right degree of pride and stubbornness. Soldiers, that fight for the man next to them. You never wanted this position, deciding who dies where. Dark Father knows it’s only a matter of time before you get them all killed.

Recap
It all comes down to this. Every choice you’ve made, every success and every failure. It’s all led to you and the Company fighting to stave off the marshalled strength of the entire Free Alliance from the walls of some northern town while you wait for your dread employer, The Necromancer to relieve you with his fell host. Maybe you fekked up somewhere along the line, but for the life of you its impossible to figure out exactly where.

You lost men, brothers. Some you didn’t know too well, it’s the harsh reality of your position as an Officer. But others... Below’s Balls, why did it have to be Kid? This was only the first day, tomorrow it starts all over again.

”Murdered by You, Herr Prince.” The Doc pokes a bloody finger into your chest, leaving a crimson streak down your blackthorn chestplate. ”He vas a child, vith no place on ze front lines. He vas smart, dedicated. He could haf been anysing, and you turned him into a soldier. You killed that boy, Herr Prince.”

”The boy died fighting, Doc. Kid was a soldier.” Your narrowed eyes regard the plain unarmed man before you, hard as flint. He’s not wrong, you can’t deny it. But calling you out in front of all the others...You don’t have time for this. ”We’re all soldiers here, Doc. Doesn’t matter if you’re a stretcher-bearer, supply runt or cook. If push comes to shove the Company needs those men to pick up a blade and defend their brothers. I’d make that call all over again, and so would Kid.”

The Doc’s angry expression doesn’t waver for a few moments, and a few orderlies shuffle nervously though whether it is with the intention to restrain him or calm you down you don’t know. Doctor Arnulf K. Kurerfitz breaks your stare and looks at the sad little white sheet at the end of the line of corpses. He deflates, his shoulders sagging and suddenly the doctor looks twice his age, haunted and grey. He goes to wipe a stain off of his glasses but his bloody hands only make it much worse.

”Sit here, Herr Prince.” The man says with a resigned sigh. ”Let’s have a look at that laceration on your arm here.”

+3 HP [18/25]
Prince and Doc are not on friendly terms, and likely never will be. But he will not let his personal dislike of a cold killer prevent him from carrying out his healer’s oaths.

The Doc has a gift, that’s much is certain. You look over the stitches in your arm as you walk out the tent, the screams and moans of the wounded fading behind you, neat and place with Neumunster efficiency. Below, this might not even scar.

There’s wounded that he can’t heal though, the kind that don’t bleed but hurt just as much. Your feeling it yourself, the loss of brothers and sisters you’ve know half your life. But you’re used to that pain, or you pretend to be. Corporal Saint is used to that pain as well really, losing all her comrades in Sarsburg. But Kid... something about children.

You remember in Sarsburg, her tears when you told her the orphans were dead. How happy she was to see Legless Jenny still alive. How she begged you to spare the lives of the families in the refugee camp...

The fact that Saint cares so much is what made her stand out to you. The world is a shit enough place without having to make it harder on those that had just started out in it. Fekking hell, she even had a soft spot for Asgorga given he was a juvenile dragon.

As for you? Well, you were always focused on results. Keep your men alive, get them through this. And everytime the world would shit down your throat because of it. You got used to it, kept trying. If you were going to break it would have been long ago.
You just hope Saint is the same.
>Saint and the Zakashi sister

After a day like today, it didn’t surprise you that your men would want to live a little. The Puking Paladin probably looked like a booze-fuelled warzone right now, everyone desperate for one last drink, fight or fek before they died tomorrow. You don’t begrudge them that, so long as it doesn’t affect how they fight tomorrow. A few of the greener members of the Company or other mercs might make the mistake of overindulging, but if they didn’t learn tomorrow they’d be dead.

This place, a dingy little collection of sheds in some side alley, didn’t look like a place to celebrate or party. The people around there didn’t look like they much to celebrate either. Lance Corporal ‘Murder’ Meriam, Saint’s 2IC, was sitting on a barrel with her stringed contraption. She paused every couple of minute or so in the middle of playing to tune it up with a look of focused hostility, and would fiddle angrily with any number of the odd dials on the musical instrument. Aside from her rants on the Chevalisse, this toy of hers seem to be the only thing she’d express emotions about.

Trooper Harper sat next to her, unperturbed by the regular interruptions, and sang a poem. You didn’t recognise it, and it was far too depressing by half. Seemed to suit the mood of this place though.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pj1Kx7AI_rw

”Cheers!” Trooper Vendis Durvano and Trooper Caroline ‘Joker’ Schuster clink their flasks and take a swig. Given the face Durvano makes it’s some awful swill. Their eyes go wide as you approach, their eyes guilty wandering to the flasks as they stand up swaying.

”At ease, soldiers. Though I think you’ve had enough.” You regard the flasks with a raised eyebrow before turning your attention back to your old squadmates. ”Where is Corporal Saint?”

”Inside, boss.” There was a flicker of hesitation before Joker answers. She nods over to a single storey hovel. She turns to her ex-pirate drinking buddy. ”Come on, ugly. Let’s head over to the Puking Paladin.”

”Nah, I’ll head off. You go see that pale pretty boy up on the walls like you sa-OOF!”

You ignore the drunken argument behind you and head to the hovel. No one seems alarmed at the cloud of smoke coming from inside. You sniff before you enter, a sense of burnt leaf and stickiness. Torkrum.


The drug itself was harmless, physical addiction wasn’t a major problem unlike Synthezene. A nice full-body high, made you sleepy and nothing seemed to matter much. That last one was why people like those in the Company life abused the herb. Torkrum made you care less, made everything look trivial and unimportant. It also made you slow, and that could last a while if you took too much.

Small wonder that soldiers turned to Torkrum rather than deal with their grief. You knew from personal experience though, that the hurt was always there the next day. Unless you never stopped taking Torkrum for a long time, which more than a few sorry folk did. After that, you didn’t feel much of anything. You’ll be damned if you let Saint slip into something like that, a withered up husk yearning for the next hit to stop the pain inside.

But there is also a more pragmatic reason. A hangover in battle will hurt, sure. A real awful one may get you killed. But generally, as painful as it was, the adrenaline, panic and urgency will stop it from actually hampering your ability to fight. Torkrum was the same if you took a little, a few hours and you were back to it. Too much though, like the kind you’d get sitting all night in a smokehouse, and you were sluggish and slow the next day. And you need everyone to be not that tomorrow, especially Saint.

To your chagrin same goes for everyone else too, down to the lowliest Yellow Dog. If their own idiocy gets them killed you couldn’t care less, but if that then costs you a section of the wall and gets everyone else killed... No, you need everyone up and at them.

Sure enough, there were a dozen folk holed up inside, passed out or reclining lazily on mouldy mattresses and cushions. Was it really so hard to find a proper smoke den in these parts? No Tassenland recruits, but a few Ajiyimad and Company brothers. In the corner is Saint, sprawled over a diminutive brown finger who you recognise as the youngest Zakashi sister. The one that had something of a crush on... oh.

There's others in here, some wearing the familiar Company colours. You had no idea Trooper Crackfoot and Lokrey Brittle partook in the occasional Torkrum puff. Or more than a little given that they're passed right the fek out. And slumped right in front of you, crushing an unconscious Yellow Dog with their huge bulk, is that Below-blasted Wildborn monstrosity that laid you out in the ruins of Sarsburg months ago. He shuffles, snorting angrily as you step over him. You don’t care, if that genderless fek causes a problem you’ll kill him if you have to if it means getting your lads out of this place.

”Saint. Saint!” You try to rouse her with a shake. She grips your hand, painfully strong, and pulls it away from her. A few others shuffle as she sits up and looks at you accusingly.

”I did everything you said, I gave it all up. My honour, my sword, my Saint’s damned pride. All to keep Kid alive. And Kid died anyway, and died bad.” Saint’s looks at her hand, with the missing finger. ”I don’t hate you, Prince. But I don’t know what I’ll do when this stuff wears off. Maybe I’ll kill you, Prince. Maybe I’ll kill myself. Maybe I’ll kill the whole wretched world.”

The Zakashi sister nods in her half-sleep. ”Mmm. Kill all world.”

”You said it, Zikky. Zuko? Something. Whatever.” Saint strokes the Zakashi sister’s her absentmindedly. ”But yeah, who knows what I’ll do? I just want to feel nothing a little longer.”

You pause, hesitating. Fek this you think, she’s not staying here. You’re about to raise your voice kick the whole damn place down when she looks at you.

”Leave us alone.” Saint’s eyes bore into yours, her angel eyes are cloudy and unfocused. But you never forgot that look until the day you die. A torrent of screaming and anguish crashing at the gates of her irises, like a mad animal straining against the bonds of heady smoke and drugs. To take her away from this place, no... better that she numbs the hurt while its still fresh. At least for now.

Saint cocks her head at you, still standing there with your hand reaching out. ”Leave us alone... sir?”

It’s not fear that drives you from the hovel, leaving them all to the smoky numbness. It’s shame. It was you who got Kid killed after all, your decisions. Your fault.

The Torkrum will only last today, but the wall will continue to remain a grim reminder of the peril of night attacks.

GUYS. FUCK MAGIC.

>>1703611
If you choose to just target the siege weapons (which reduce your wall section strength) then there is a -chance- Asgorga will be attacked by the Chevalisse Pegasus and Elven Marksmen.

If you order Asgorga to run rampant the attack will automatically trigger, but if he fends them off the damage is greater (such as reducing the next days attacks).

So it is only wasted if you choose to only attack siege equipment and are lucky enough to avoid the Flyer ambush.

The Ajiyimad-style Cannons are irreplacable (and with the threat of the Dragon well hidden), the Albani Warmachines never even made it fek you, guys.

Trebuchets, catapults, ballista and the rest are in great supply with the Neumunster Legionarries but not inexhaustible. That said, when Asgorga plows through he isn't obliterating every piece of siege equipment, he's just causing enough havoc that they're ineffectual for now.

>Counter Daily Caster Bonus
Working with the Page daemonhosts, the Cultists cast magik-nullifying barriers across the wall. It's enough to deter the efforts of the conclave from the Isle of Mages, but not enough to stop the Archmage if he gets serious (it will drain him though).
A few Neumunster prisoners have been rounded up for a ritual. You don’t want to imagine the details, but the effects of it should stop any magik assault dead in its tracks.

>Add +20DC to Dragon Assault
There are wards that can make the target invisible. Although too difficult to readily pull off on a creature the size of a dragon, this halfway measure means that Asgorga is all but invisible while he circles above the battlefield.
That said, it won’t be as completely unexpected as last time.

>Reveal which Sections will come under attack by elite forces today
Scrying, subtle-possession and darker methods have been used to gain critical intelligence. When elite forces attack a section they will automatically pass their first roll to reduce the Section security.
>Today
>1st Wave, The Neumunster Heigelen Guard will attack the Northern-Western Wall Section
>1st Wave, The Chevalisse Holy Paladins will attack the Northern Tower

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

First to three for both options.


1) Place the 7th Kreigstrom in their position. If they respond to an attack there the enemy will not enjoy their superior numbers advantage.
>Ready at the North Tower
>Ready at the North-Western Wall
>Ready at the Western Gate
>Ready at the South-Western Wall
>In Reserve (If no wall section reaches untenable, you have the option to abstain from combat today)

2) Dragon Assault
Asgorga is no pushover, even the Archangels aren't overly keen to tackle him in a one-to-one fight. I currently have the location of the Archangel/Marksmen ambush written down. If Asgorga attacks the enemy encampment and the Ambush is -not- located there, it is successful and Asgorga leaves after wreaking a moderate amount of damage without triggering the Ambush. If you order Asgorga to run rampant, the artillery is thwarted AND the next day's wave is reduced by 1. This however will automatically spring the Ambush. If the Dragon Assault fails, the Neumunster Artillery permanently decreases the security of one Section.

>Tomorrow's Assault Waves reduced by one
>Siege equipment still inoperable

You’ve never seen anything like this before in your life. A trebuchet launches the first missile of the day, a stone the size of a healthy horse. It arcs high into the sky, the trajectory looking to take it beyond the walls into the town. And then it apparently stops in mid-air, plucked out of the sky by the blurred Asgorga. The dragon sends it hurtling out of the grasp of its claws, directly back at the ones who fired it. It lands directly on target, scattering the Neumunster engineers and their equipment like ragged dolls. Dozens perish long before Asgorga even hits their ranks.

A whole column of Neumunster soldiers goes up in flames, incinerated to the last man. They die so quick their panicked screams are mercifully cut off, but the smell of burning human meat will dog your nostrils for the rest of the day.

The enemy reaction is quicker today though, the Paladins and their noble flying steeds spring to the sky already in harness as Elven arrows peck at the dragon’s scale. At first little more than an annoyance, sooner or later they might find their mark. They force the lethal monster away from its beeline for the command post with no shortage of bravery and daring. For a moment you think Asgorga will brush them aside anyway and reach his quarry, but a Paladin and his steed bedecked in Gold and Blue lifts something in his hand, gleaming like a second sun, which causes Asgorga to shy away and retreat.

Still, the damage is done. The enemy encampment is an absolutely fekking mess. You’re willing to bet Asgorga just cause more casualties than your men will inflict all day.

It doesn't quite work like that. A vampire can bite and turn a thrall easily enough (though it's fairly obvious and not suited to subterfuge unless the enemy is unfamiliar with vampiric enemies).

Spawning a vampire is another matter, it's a more drawn out process that requires blood, sleep and a lot more blood. If everyone could be made a Vampire by a bite then the world would be their already. And they would starve.

Good question though. I'll bring that up later if/when you meet with Lord Lorgia again.

Even if you fail to repel the attack at the North Tower, since it is not UNTENABLE you won't actually lose the roll right away.

So if you lose this combat, there will be a chance (a slim one) of preventing them from overrunning the position.

>Repel the North Tower Assault

Across the Northern Wall the magik battle starts long before the first arrow is loosed, fell energies arcing back and forth between your cultists and their mages. You see a blue mist brush over the wall, boiling the blood of any it touches. An unfortunate cultist banishes it only to be struck down by a crossbow bolt from beyond the wall, his killer nowhere in sight.

To make that shot... damn Elven snipers.

No more arrows flit out into your ranks. Wherever that sniper and his mates were, they’re gone now.

”Fekking elves.” You curse, loud enough for one half-elf Yellow Jack to give you turn and give you a fairly explicit gesture.

The enemy covering fire is pititful, leaving the attackers dreadfully exposed to your own side’s missiles. The holy men of Chevalisse have always been pompous, zealous arseholes. You never needed LCPL ‘Murder’ around to remind you, nor Pietre Verdun’s swaggering attitude to serve as an example. It was just something you knew. Rain is wet, Griffins shit in the woods and the Chevalisse are c***s.

But they’re also damn good at this fighting business, and stubborn as all shit. The withering fire from your position in the North Tower doesn’t dissuade them or slow them down. The flayed men and severed heads on spikes don’t deter them, and the unholy symbols drawn in blood by the Vampires only cause them to press on ever harder.

”Mes amies! Remember why you fight!” A damn fool of a nobleson stands on an outcrop, urging his fellows on as the peasant footmen lift the ladders. There are two peasant dogsbodies for every Paladin, but you don’t doubt who will be doing the fighting when the moment comes.

” Foi, fureur, frères!“ The holy men chant as they surge forward, sheltering under their shields, locked to their comrades in a desperate embrace for safety against the deadly storm raining down above. Arrows, bolts, rocks and in one instance a particularly unlucky cat, the Chevalisse grit their teeth and hug the walls as the ladders are put in place.

”Remember who you fight for!” Damn idiot isn’t even wearing a helmet! Still, he remains miraculously unharmed as arrows flit around him.

” Pour la Mère!” The Paladins yell boldly at the defenders, screaming with righteous rage as they clamber up the steps. The peasants die in droves under the fire, but the wards on most of the knights hold. They're not impregnable, as Knight-of-the-Line ‘Spitfire’ Spicario demonstrates by blasting away a climbing knight with her pistol, helmet and all. But still, it's a damn sight above the regular shoddy chevalisse mail you're used to seeing.

”Remember who you fight for!” Pretty boy doesn’t even flinch as more bolts miss him and his dainty golden locks by inches.

” Pour elle! Pour Elle! POUR ELLE!” With a defiant roar the half-dozen of the Paladins come streaming over the ladders crashing into the Yellow Jackals and Company men.

Faith against Gold, but cold steel will win out one way or the other.

2) To set it off initially, no other order must be used that round (whereas with To Me you could stake with Stand Firm etc)


And to the anon who asked, abilities are free. Use as many or as little as you want whichever round.

Should we roll again if nobody else does?

>>1704365
With rolls like that?

Haha, I'll give it a bit. I'm going for a smoke anyway.

>>1704359
APPARENTLY NOT.

Y'all better get in here quick.

>dc55 fucking coin flips man

I need two more rolls for the Platoon DC, so I'll till repeat rollers now.

It's getting pretty late I understand, we'll conclude it after this combat is decided one way or the other.

I was excited to roll again. I thought, "what's the worst that could happen, we have one down so there's no risk."

Rolled 61 (1d100)

Father help us.

Rolled 38 (1d100)

Belize save us dice-chan

Well, Saint's deathwish might become reality soon.

And if I have my math correct, the Chevalier doesn't get a single point of damage.

>>1704401
*Defensive Stance II (reduce damage by 6)
factor in this

>>1704405
I know. You also forgot this:
>*Armour of Saint Scipio (MBFH takes x1.5 HP toll, reduce damage by 3)

2 rolls on the casualty table!

>>1704401
With Carnotaur he takes quite a lot of damage, but survives. So his order power will go off next round.

IT. JUST. KEEPS. HAPPENING.

Rolled 5 (1d6)

Trooper Arlen Rivers has fought alongside Hirstun of Ligh across every landscape imaginable. From the farthest reaches of the Skald lands to the Northern Coast and sunnier southern lands.

He dies fighting in a mediocre tower in a mediocre Neumunster town, a messy death at that.

Rolling to see how much -DC his death inflict.

>>1704434
remember rage of the dark father

>>1704432
On the other hand, this guy was "Literally who?" tier.

Hirstun might be more miffed though.

>>1704432
This is Black Company Quest.

Low fantasy is fucking lethal dude.

Look how fucked up we've gotten over the quest.

Wow, a lot of modifiers coming into play here

”Your fight is with me, pretty boy!” The youthful face of the leader of the Paladin’s twists in rage at your black language.

He can’t resist the challenge, more fool him. You couldn’t have an easier target of the centre mass with your pistol as he charges towards you.

If it was any normal steel protecting him, he’d be a dead man. That shot should have killed him instantly, straight through the breastplate. Instead the wards on his armour glow bright blue and crackle. They’re impressive, but even they are only so effective against the kinetic energy of fiery lead. The armour crumples, cracking at least a few ribs and causing the young Paladin to retch blood.

”Back to the shadows you morceau du merde daemonspawn!” He stumbles back into a fighting position, holding a brightly glowing vial. Bright is an understatement, the beam it... it hurts you! Like a flame that burns inside. You careen back from the light as he readies a blow.

”Fek you child-fekker!” Lance-Corporal Murder Meriam leaps in with a wild kick to the knights guts. It does nothing through his warded armour, but with surprising agility her shortsword flicks out and scores a mark across the handsome warrior’s cheek.

”Oof! I-ach!” The Chevalisse warrior stares in outrage as his hand comes away from his face bloody. [”Sacré Bleau!”

Of course he ignores the bloody rent you’ve made in his chest, damn Chevalisse pride.

Elsewhere the fight does not go so well. Your men have a slight numbers advantage but the Paladins are supreme warriors. Trooper Crackfoot, a mean bastard the best of times, is forced up against the edge of a parapet by a knight in bright green, inches from death. His old comrade in arms Arlen Rivers leaps to his defence, tackling the holy warrior from behind. The knight tries to regain his balance but they both go over, the knight plummeting to his death. Arlen is less fortunate, impaled through the gut with another corpse on one of the very same spikes the Vampires erected.

I need 6 rolls of 1d100, gentlemen. The first 3 will be for Prince (best of 3) the second 3 will be for the Platoon. Since we're slowing down I'll take multiple rolls, but no more than two per ID.

Finish Him!
