Contained picture is the approximate location of the colony.

And finally the character list.

Man things have been going well. Construct a better road between Normandy and the new colony we have yet to name. Try to build a stone wall around the town as well, we may want to be prepared in the case of an assault from another goblin force. See if we can fix our border lines too now that we own the settlement and it's on the opposite side of the lines.

Definitely build a bridge and a road to our new town...But what to name it?

>>10854621

Normandy is still heavily damaged from the attack and requires stone to repair its defenses

>>10854655
Oh well, let's just construct the road for now, and make sure our cannons get loaded back onto the frigate. I'm feeling a touch paranoid about getting attacked from the sea.

>>10854698
Me as well. Besides the road lets also build a dock at the new town.

We got to keep to our way of naming the town after a scifi spaceship..

Stilleto from Nexus Jupiter Incident is the only thing that comes to my mind.

>>10854781
The Heart of Gold from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy perhaps?

>>10854803
That doesn't really fit a town though...

Year 464 of our holy mother, May, Week Three

After moving some of our already stretched forces into the new Acran town to maintain order, a road system was built from Normandy to it.

Our scouts have informed us that the dothclyde allies have seen of a force around 3000-5000 strong approaching from the west.

>>10854859
Lets have them confirm that they are here to be friendly. Tell the baron to prepare defenses at serenity just in case.

>>10854944

The dothclyde do not know whether or not this force approaching from the west is our allies or not, but it is a colonial force rather than a native horde.

>>10854859
That can't be the enemy can it? If it is we'll need more than what we have if we want a chance of defending. We're going to need to send a ship to the mother land sometime soon and tell them we may be in a spot of trouble with the war going on and being slightly vulnerable to a full scale attack now. Hopefully they'll give us some extra marines and cannons to protect us.

>>10855060
Send scouts to check it out NOW! Call up everyone that is not a farmer into the militia. We need maximum ready status.

>>10854859
Send one of our scouts to confirm. If its an enemy, all we can do is MAXIMUM TROLLAGE to their movement to us. Traps, raid supplies, feint attacks and such. Because if they reach any of our towns, we're fucked.

Year 464 of our holy mother, june, Week 1

Great News, the 2nd Verinian NW army has arrived! They've been amassing their troops to the west of Verinian colonial territory before trying to make a move against the goblins, being able to amass 4500 men, although almost 2/3s of that force is purely Militia. They've set up camp at at the old Acran settlement and set it up as their HQ for operations in this area.

2nd Verinian NW army
600 marines
400 mercenaries (Europan and Native orcs)
3500 militia

>>10855198

by the way, this is the force incase some of you are a tad dense to put two and two together.

>>10855198
Oh, cool. No need for maximum trollage. Tell them of our victory over the nearby colony. We could use their help in retaining it, so that we can pull our forces back to better hold our other two settlements

>>10855198
Did they bring their own food?

>>10855198
Great news, send the men some ale and have the Duke, Duchess, and Dukeling make an appearance at the base. Bring along the Baron too if he wants to come.

>>10855227

You are informed that another Dynasty will be taking over control of this settlement and be using its own troops to do so, so you are free to pull back your forces. In addition, they request that you donate some troops to the army group.

>>10855257
Politely tell them that we have no troops to give due to our recent war. We would be happy to give them some extra food, weapons and armor if they feel the need though. Also offer the limited service of our two frigates.

I would recommend asking then where the army is headed and what they are doing. After we know that, we should decide on what services we can provide to maximum effect

>>10854517


>>10855377
They intend to take all remaining goblin territory connected to Varinian territory marked above.

Offer to use our navy to cut off the enemy colonies from the mainland. Also start building another frigate.

Yes. Send the ships with the army to cut off possible reinforcements/retreat. But before that, offer the services of our scouts to scout enemy positions. I would also recommend sending along some hussars or other mounted troops to provide vangaurd. We can't have enemies sneaking up on the flanks

>>10855541
Shouldn't leave our self defenseless either. That reminds me we should make Marie and the hussains the royal guard.

Year 464 of our holy mother, june, week 3

After their two week stop for resupply at serenity, the 2nd army has began to march onwards towards Acran territory along with some extra grain supplies as a gift from us, but it has been noted that the king will be informed of our lack of troop donation.

In other news, it has been announced that An Ríocht na Laighean (High Kingdom of Leinster) has jumped into the war on our side to try. Their offical clause is to help us 'from the oppression of the Arcan Dogs', but their real reason is obviously to try and secure themselves some more colonial assets.

would you folks like a nation description of Leinster?

>>10855590
Yes please!

An Ríocht na Laighean (High Kingdom of Leinster) Is probably the most Ironicly named in all of Europa, with it being the smallest in all of europa in both size and population.
While being the smallest Kingdom in the land, they make up for it with some colonial assets, albiet small, and their asstonishing technological advancements, with the amazing
'rifle' and their flying machines Called 'Hot Air Ballons and are noted for their recent 'industrial revolution'. The armies of Leinster are made up of highly trained troops who focus
on either massive firepower displays, with their rifles giving them improved range, accuracy and rate of fire, or Horse back Skirmishers. They are made up of a population of what
is considered 'Western Tieflings', whichare almost entirely removed from their Dorovan cousins, being paleskinned like most other races, horns growing from further up their heads
rather than the forehead itself, and have no tail. The only thing that prevents them from being confused as half breeds is their thick accents and distinct personalities.

Other Europan nations look down upon the West tieflings simply due to their biological relations with the much more hostile Dorovan tiefllings to the east, which has been a deciding
factor to why they've remained such a small nation state today despite their advances, which to this day only act to counteract hostile takeover. Despite being even related to the tieflings,
the emperor of the Dorovan Empire refuses relations with a nation that clearly has tiefling blood but is not under the banner of the Dorovan Empire.

>>10855721
Anyway we can send an emissary to them to offer our ports as a staging point for them.. for a small fee of course.

>>10855721
Interesting, I wonder if we can use the Duke's marriage will influence our political interactions with them. They'd be a great target for our future spies as well.

Anyway I suppose we can advance to the next month.

>>10855797

You'll need to send a ship to one of their colonies and because this will be a high up dealing, you'll need to send either the duke or duchess.

>>10855812
Send the Duke, the duchess presumably still needs to tend to the child.

>>10855850

Not really, she is a noble after all so she has access to wet nurses and nannys.

>>10855870
Alright then send her, the Duchess would probably work better given her origins anyway.

>>10855889
Have Marie and the Hussians be her personal guard

>>10855903

Shouldn't we send Petrovski, to show that even the common tiefling can reach great heights in our colony, possibly bringing in more colonists and improving relations.

>>10855981
Ah thats better. The captain would be a better choice.

Year 464 of our holy mother, july, week 1

The duchess, Petrovski and the hussars have boarded the Frigate still in port to head off to one of the northern island colonies of Leinster. Upon arrival, they were welcomed well by the nobles but not so much by the people, who too are wary of the tieflings, simply due to the stance most tieflings take on them.

After negotiating, it is agreed that for every 10 Leinster warships that use Our port, 1/4 a gold will be paid.

In other news, 2nd army is making progress, capturing half of the Acran territory so far, but has had to stop due to overstretched supply lines, and will start its advance again next month.

>>10856118
If we have anyone that is jobless have them start helping build the supply lines.

>>10856161

Any jobless you have, are working either as temporary Militia units or as laborers to continue to repair damage from the war.

Any orders at all for this month?

>>10856118
Just keep repairing. Stand down some of the militia and send them back to work.

Year 464 of our holy mother, july, week 3

Troubles this month, the frigate containing the duchess and Petrovski has yet to return. It is possible they have been caught up in simple troubles, but due to this time of war it is awfully worrying.

In other, better news, 2nd army has effectively captured all Acran land ajoined to our territory in this region and effectively ended hostilities here, but the conflict still rages to the north and south, and to a lesser extent in the far south colonies.

>>10856466
How long till Normandy is back to full repair?
Did the architects ever finish the plans for the large fort on Loki island?

Expand the farming at both Serenity and Normandy. We can stand down like 100 militia now that the war is no longer at our door step.

>>10856561

the repairs are finished and the plans were written up, but haven't been implemented yet.

>>10856613
Lets start constructing the fort then. Have the baron oversee the construction. Send Captain Alessandro in the other firgate to make sure the duchess is ok

Year 464 of our holy mother, August, week 1.

Great and Terrible news.

First, the great. The war is over. The Acrans have accepted our terms which have resulted in Varina recieving more territory, as well as Leinster to a lesser extent, but is overall good for us.

Next, the terrible. Alessandro could find no signs of our frigate, but on his travels was able to use his connections to discover that the frigate was attacked en-route back to our colony in the final days of the war by a 64 gun Galleon. Massively out gunned, she surrendered immediately to prevent a slaughter of the crew and passangers, and the duchess and captain have been taken prisoner. Last it was heard, the Galleon was heading off to the Acran Islands.

Also, contruction has begun on the new fort.

>>10856781
Send an emissary over to Acra colonies and ask for them to give up the duchess. The war is over and there is no longer a need for political prisoners.

>>10856836

They deny having such prisoners, saying that they must have been lost during the war and are 'sorry for our loss'.

>>10856916

Fucking goblins. Fuck em, send our remaining frigate over with the Fessians, duke, baron and his daughter for a rescue mission. If it starts a war who gives a fuck, we just won one, we can win another.

>>10856916
>:( I do believe they want to have a dick off.. very well. After we get another frigate built then we will send some pirates to their lands. Also send news of this to our king just to keep him informed.

>>10856945
>>10856970

Year 464 of our holy mother, august, week 3

The 'Vera' has been loaded up with the rescue party, made up of 20 Fessians, the baron, the duke and Marie Kaufmann and is being piloted by Captain Alessandro. We are currently on our way to one of the smaller Goblin cities where the prisoners are believed to be held, which the Doge of the city state is using to improve his standing.

Fort ready: 2 more weeks
Arrival: 4 weeks.

Roll 1d50

rolled 33 = 33

>>10857063

sage for yet another fucking quest

>>10857123
lol fuck you

>>10857123

We are all entitled to our opinion, good sir, and if you've noticed i always include my email at the end of the thread simply for the purpose of hatemail, but im yet to recieve any. If you'd like to be the first then i more than welcome you.

>>10857063
We need us some spies....

Year 464 of our holy mother, august, week 3

Our fort on the south end of the island is finally complete, but lacks any real garrison or cannon to arm it. In addition besides the walls, barracks and keep, the inside is bare.

Problem with the crops, we got jackalopes. Farmers have found them in the fields and have begun to feed on both our wheat and Ember Plants, but haven't touched the durthweed yet or cotton.

time til arrival: 2 weeks.

>>10857295
Son of a..... Gather the hunters and wolves its time for a grand hunt! Whats the Eversor doing?

>>10857295
Construct simple fences around the farmland.

Offer small rewards to citizens for dead jackalopes.

Use the meat for additional food.

>>10857329

Nothing, shes awaiting orders.

>>10857386
Send her back home with trade goods. Start building another frigate

Year 464 of our holy mother, September, week 1

The Vera has arrived in Daltra, the capital of this small goblin island with a total population of 60,000 people, mostly goblins. You have pulled the Vera in to the west most docks under a Bernician Flag to avoid suspision.

Back in serenity, the hounds and wolves are being used to hunt the jackalopes to some success, cutting down their numbers but not enough to stop them completely.

>>10857610
See
>>10857337

>>10857610

Go to the local tavern and ask around about where the prisoners might be and if we can get and specialists to help us.

>>10857695
Wow, that's a terrible idea.

>>10857610
Talk to Captain Alessandro's contacts in town

>>10857724

How the fuck do you suggest we find out where the prisoners are? Walk into the kings palace and fucking ask?

>>10857724
Agreed.
Where are _OUR_ specialists, Hmmm?

Who thought it was a good idea to set out on this shit without a full loadout of delta force - spec ultra-warriors?

>>10857610
How many are on the boat? A small enough number for a small group to go out to see if they hear any news?

>>10857813
We've got shitloads of humans.

You're suggesting going to a major city of a country we were just at war with, walking into a bar, which is presumably full of drunken goblins, and be all, "LOL, WHERE YOU KEEP YOUR PRISONERS AT?!"

>>10857840

Or you could get the goblin captain to do that, getting drunk in the process.

>>10857816

Pretty sure we lost our best troops when the ship was captured.

>>10857831

You got a total of 40 sailors,of which you need a minimum of 20 to use the frigate, 20 Fessians, Duke Alexander, Baron Kaufmann, Marie Kaufmann and Captain Alessandro. You are good for raw power for a jailbreak, but you lack the more 'delicate' touch required, such as sneaking in, picking locks, etc.

>>10857840

Your ship is in the foreign quarter of the city where most foreign merchants dock in, so naturally most taverns in the foreign quarter only have a small number of goblins, mostly ones from other city states.

I think we need to send a group of 5ish sailors out to random bars and listen for a bit, someone is bound to say something/ brag or what not

Year 464 of our holy mother, September, week 3

Over the past couple of weeks, we've been able to probe for information throughout the city, slowly piecing together the puzzle. It seems that the Captain is being held prisoner in 'vodor prison' (left) and the Duchess is being held 'prisoner' in the palace grounds (right)

The Captain is restricted too a 3m by 2m cell with one other cell mate, as are the rest of the 8 hussars and are allowed out once a week for 15 minutes on the prison grounds.

The duchess is allowed to walk the palace grounds as well as the palace, but has an 8 man Goblin Royal Guard around her at all times to prevent her escape, as well as the guard posts at the bridges being informed not to allow her to leave without the direct command of the General, Doge or in times of an emergency where her life would be in direct danger.

During the investigation, the duke was approached by a tiefling who 'kidnapped' him and brought him to an unknown location. It was revealed that they are members of the duchesses dynasty who are also planning to rescue her, having 10 hussars at their disposal. He has since been released and we are sharing our intel with them.

>>10858338

What is our total men then?
I think we might be able to pull something if we can make a grand display... maybe have the duke do something crazy or set fire to the opposite side of town kind of thing.. Does the city have a sewer system?

In addition, you've found two people you could possible use in your rescue attempt

1. A Swabian called Taksony Ladislaus, a former Prisoner of Vodor prison who escaped 6 years ago but has remained in the city due to the lack of funds to get himself out, and to prevent recapture has grown his antlers and beard right out. He has some skills in swordplay but his biggest use is his ability to get in and out of the prison. All he requires as payment is you take him back to serenity as 'anything is better than here'

2. Former Captain of the Guard Renaldo, who was shamed when Taksony Ladislaus escaped from the prison and was forced into retirement last year. He still has contacts within the palace guard and could possibly help you get in and out with a little bit of money, but as payment he requires that you kill Taksony Ladislaus in broad daylight to send a message to the rest of the underworld. He is a fine swordsman.

>>10858486

Yes, but the palace and prison have seperate sewers for just that reason.

total men: 20 sailors (if you use them)
20 Fessians
10 Hussars (God tier warriors)
Baron kaufmann, Marie Kaufmann, Duke Alexander, Captain Alessandro.

>>10858553
We take Taksony and negotiate that we do not pay him but take him with us and give him a safe place to be.

I say we bust out the Captain first, hoping that causes enough of a distraction (If it does, this is worst case and even then its a matter of time) To have a more elite squad somehow get in to the duchess perhaps? All that matters now is that we get out captain out he is a bro and they need the Duchess for negotiating less so the captain.

>>10858688

Any particular way you want to get into the prison?

>>10858688
5 Hussians, 20 fussians, Captian Alex, and Taksony Ladislaus go for Captian Petrovski.

5 Hussians, Marie, Baron and the Duke go for the duchess.

>>10858740
Is there a sewer system underneath it by any chance? The gun powder plot might rise again.

>>10858779

The baron and marie refuse to be on the same mission, so you must split them up.

>>10858807

But.... but pleeeaasseeee

>>10858796

read above, both the palace and prison have independent sewer systems.

>>10858779

This, but have marie go to the prison

Have just the duke, Taksony and 5 hussars swim across the mote during the no moon and have them begin to climb the walls. After 10 minutes since the start of the swim, Marie and the Fessians go to the main gates and kill the first guard they see, and try to draw the garrison out into combat.

During this, have the Baron and his Hussars approach one of the main gates in civilian clothing on the east side and murder all the guards as fast as possible to try and not allow an alarm to go off. Once inside, they are to act as servants til they find the duchess, go out the way they came and leave two hussars behind to act as a rear guard and get her into the sewers.

Meanwhile, the duke, Taksony and the 5 hussars are to sneak through the prison, find the Captain, and if possible his Hussars, release and arm them. To create another distraction for marie to get a chance to get away, begin to release prisoners before climbing back down the walls and crossing the mote again.

>>10858856
Many barrels of gunpowder... under the prison >:)

>>10858957

and how do you plan to get it in, without anybody noticing, without accidently killing the Captain.

Anyway, this is where i end it today. as usual, email, tips, hatemail, etc.

>>10858992
wasn't thinking that far ahead.....
