With a dramatic flair you crack open a previously untouched crate from the back of the wagon. With many an awed “Ooooh”s and “Aaahhh”s the majority of the platoon crowds around behind you, jostling to get a look at the device. It looks like a clumsier, bulkier version of your Ajiyimad pistol. The ammunition, a single large shell, is inscribed with numerous layers of wards and faintly glowing runes.

“So um… what is it exactly, boss?” Trooper Caroline Schuster eventually picks up the courage to ask as you pluck it out to give everyone a better look.

“It’s an ingenious device engineered by the sharpest minds in Weapons Development.”

Which is to say you bashed Qar-Tel from Supply and Page #136’s heads together until they agreed to design something that would allow you to put that scaly pile of fire-breathing death ASGORGA use. Which is just as well seeing as he’s eating half of the Company's bloody rations apparently when he’s not out hunting for damsels or knights or sheep (he’s not picky).

“With this device I can call down aerial reinforcements to deliver overwhelming firepower…” You grin at your own incredibly clever pun “…and provide much needed muscle to tenuous tactical situations.”

The crowd of Black Company Kriegstrom Shocktroopers looks suitably impressed, even though all you did was say ‘I fire this and call up a Dragon when things are looking fekked’ in a fancier way.

“I call it the…”

The dark, damp smelling warehouse abounds with the muffled sounds of armour rattling and leather straps tightening. Steel whispers with menacing promises as blades are unsheathed, checked, sharpened and sheathed again. The older, wilier members of the Platoon cover the shinier potions of their armour in dirt, muck or whatever other debris is available, the fresher comrades following suit.

You’ve checked over everyone and everything twice now so as the last stragglers arrive and ready themselves you find yourself passing the time with…

Sergeant ‘Bad Hand’ is seated on a crate in the middle of the warehouse, seemingly oblivious to the murmuring hubbub and shuffling around him as he carefully slides his whetstone along his massive Two-Handed Blade. He grins as you approach.

“Prince.”

“Bad Hand.” You nod, taking a seat next to him. You’re silent for a moment. “So the plan…”

“Now that we’re in we let the 4th through the side gate and the Rangers cause a ruckus at the Manor while we seize the important parts. Nice, simple and solid enough. It’s a good plan.”

“Thanks.”

“I hope it goes tits up.”

“I-what?”

“Way I see it, if all goes well the violence will be at a minimum.” Bad Hand frowns, as if the very possibility disturbs him. “Means there won’t be no decent fight for us.”

Clearly you weren’t paying attention when Hirstun of Ligh mentioned the Grenn. There’s going to be plenty of violence alright you mad shit of a bastard. But you keep that to yourself, the last thing you need is Bad Hand running off by himself to tussle with a Grenn. You sigh and stand up.

“Where are you going?” Bad Hand frowns, pausing from his sharpening for a moment.

“To talk to someone sane. To talk to someone, not you.”

>>429541
Considering it says "don't fire directly above" I'm assuming it comes back down or something. Therefore, in an emergency, we can just angle it away from us and fire over the enemy, possibly roasting them and setting a building on fire

You find Trooper Saint and Corporal leaning on the side of one of the wagons talking to a rather bored looking Legless Jessica.

"Listen Jessica, if anyone comes or if you hear the fighting reaching this way you just hide under the wagons. Okay?"

"Yeah squirt, don't run off or anything." Wow, she -is- a bitch. "And if you get the chance sink one of these in the small of their back. Not up here, won't be quick enough. Nope, lower and to the side. Yeah, that's it. Drop like a stone they will, I guarantee it."

Corporal 'White Bitch' Tara looks at Legless Jenny's namesake and give a disappointed sigh.

"Might have trouble reaching it though."

"Maybe the Lieutenant can spare someone? Sit tight and watch out for Jessica..."

If a Grenn makes it in there leaving Trooper Kid wouldn't help anyway.

Maybe we should fashion a Cripple Backpack for Jenny a la Bran and Hodor? Maybe get Smiles-at-Dice to carry her?

Put Legless Jenny in a backpack and make Smiles carry her. Give her a knife. Now he's protected from the back.

Yep. I have just weaponized a crippled child.

Would that actually be possible? Or maybe there's some specific reason Kid has to be banner-bearer?

>>429614
It normally helps if the Banner is held in a way that people can actually see it. And can move.

>>429627
We combine it with the Cripple Backpack idea. That way, Smiles gives her mobility while Jenny gets to carry it around. Assuming she's strong enough to do so.

>>429627
>>429620
If Jenny's able to see over Smiles-at-Dice's shoulders then she shouldn't have a problem holding the banner up. Maybe shorten the pole a bit.

"Maybe Jessica can reach that weak spot from the back of the wagon, gives her a bit of reach."

The two of them turn as you speak, Jessica shying away. Go figure, not afraid in the slightest of a horned, grey-scaled, scarred Wildborn but you in your Blackthorn armour and she’s all atremble. You recall being on the receiving end of an attack from an armed crippled child. Once you got over your profound surprise it was quite easy to subdue to the starved one armed Ajiyimad orphan, but you have to admit that you really hadn’t seen it coming.

“Surprise is your biggest friend.” You say, addressing Jessica. “Grown-ups tend not to see it coming from a little one like you. Not that hard to get the drop on them. For example, my favourite place to hide a blade in the boo- uh, up my sleeve.” You distinctly hear Corporal ‘White Bitch’ Tara choke on her laughter behind you.

Jessica manages not to flinch as you show her the best way of hiding numerous sharp objects on one’s person. While Saint seems uncertain about the moral soundness of teaching a child not even a dozen summers old the various methods of murdering someone, she comes around eventually. Better them than Jessica.

In the murky, dimly lit surroundings, adorned in the full regalia of your Blackthorn Armour, you cut quite an intimidating figure. It’s been a long standing tradition of the officers of Black Company that their armour be crafted to look as menacing and formidable as possible, even if the actual protection and enchantment granted by it isn’t as formidable as one might think. It must a be a trick of the light, or a bit more heel than it first looks in the boots, but your Blackthorn armour seems to make you loom over the rest of the soldiers in your Platoon. The spiked pauldrons, pitiless visage of your helm, the cold dark steel and billowing cape…
If ever there was a children’s storybook with a black-hearted villain, a monster of a man that looks every inch the evil opponent of light, truth and justice all very overrated ideals in your experience, you are the very image of that man.
As you stalk through the streets, some 30 men and women black of heart and black of mind behind you, the refugees unfortunate enough to be left without shelter seem to cower as you march past. The idea was that you’d appear to be just another town guard patrol, a little larger than most maybe, but somehow they can tell something is different about you. Maybe not different enough to sound the alarm, but enough to scurry out of your way quick enough.

You make your way to the designated side gate quick enough. Only a nominal few guards here, but it’s too open for the whole platoon to rush them and risk an alarm being raised. Better to send a single squad forward, replacing them for a shift perhaps. But who to send?

(We're just getting our bad rolls out of the way now, right?)

You know 1st Squad, you know what they can do and so you trust this job to them and the newly promoted CPL ‘Jack’.

Cororpal ‘Jack’ Marcus, natural-born Neumunster citizen and veteran of a dozen campaigns in the legions, is the obvious choice for someone to pass as a Neumunster comrade in the dark. The first guard at the gate doesn’t even throw out a the challenge word as they approach, ‘Jack’ has that built in NCO swagger that takes years to master. Besides, why would you be challenging people on the –inside- of the walls. It’s only when he frowns at the dark-skinned Trooper Belhamun behind him that the Corporal runs him through. Trooper Durvano and Trooper Schuster bring the other one down in a fit of methodical business-like stabbing. All very neat, professional and quiet-like.

None of what happens next is anyone’s fault really. It’s just the worst luck, the very worst luck that the –actual- patrol taking over the next watch arrives at exactly that moment. Outnumbered 3 to 1, it quickly becomes a melee very much against the Neumunster, but enough of them flee in time to ensure that the alarm being raised will be in a few moments. There won’t be time for all of 4th to trickle through before they have to launch their attack, hopefully the Rangers making their way over the wall elsewhere will be having an easier time.

“Fancy seeing you here, Lieutenant Hawk.”

“*Hach-Ptoo*.” The aging Lieutenant spits another gob of phlegm “Lieutenant Prince. What a startlingly co-incidence. Would you mind telling me what the fek is going on?”

“No time for that now, get whoever you can with you and move on the Town Watch barrack now. We’ll seize the main gate and then come help you.”

“Just as planned, but tits up right, sir?” SGT Bad Hand is grinning madly, damn that man.

“Right…” LT Hawk eyes the Sergeant disconcertedly. “Anything else?”

“Yeah…” you say

“Don’t kill anyone you don’t have to. I doubt the Town Guard feel a pressing need to martyr themselves.”

Lieutenant Hawk shrugs. "Sure."

"Besides," you continue "If it's necessary we can slaughter them all AFTER they've surrendered, given up their arms and been rounded up."

You hear Saint gasp at that. You realise you probably could have worded that better. Fek. Me and my big mouth. Meanwhile CPL 'White Bitch' doesn't quite fistpump, but she does grin at your last little statement, giving you those bedroom eyes again. Which is disturbing on several levels.

A few minutes later

The 7th Kreigstrom, about 30 of you huddled in an alleyway a stone's throw away from the Main Gate. A short jog, a little knife work and your job is mostly done.

Ahead, roughly a score of the Town Guard crowd around the the gatehouse, more joining them as they gather and point towards the where the bell is ringing form in confusion and some alarm. They know something is wrong, but they might not have clued on to the fact that it's already inside Kresden's walls. If you're going to strike, the time is now.

You turn back to the plethora of shadowed faces and furrowed brows, all eyes on you. You draw steel, the thirsty rasp of your own unsheathed blade echoed down the line, and you say...

No more drilling with our platoon... no more taking them out drinking... no more getting horribly injured and waking up to them crowded around our bed... no more taking them with us on extremely dangerous adventures where we all escape by the skin of our teeth... no more entering probably illegal underground fighting tournaments with them...

Instead they're just off doing other things. They could be dying offscreen right now. We would never know.

Obviously there's no hearty cheer at your words, that'd be downright unprofessional given the stealthy nature of this mission. Still, you expected something. Like a grunt of agreement... At least they all follow you out in the main thoroughfare as you stride towards the gate like the personification of a child's nightmare version of a knight, an equally black and heartless gang of soldiers following in your wake.

20 steps. The majority of the Watch is looking North, where the bell is ringing from.

15 steps. You can hear their worried mutterings, see nervous hands on sword hilts and cursive glances between them.

10 steps. One of them has noticed you, pointing your way and calling to the others in a half-confused and half-accusatory way.

“Woah there!” You grunt, grappling with the miniature person. “Where are you going in such a hurry?”

You instinctively have the midget in a hold, giving you a good look at him. Not a short man, or a dwarf for that matter. A child, well-dressed. Not the clothes, but the shoes. No one dressed that poorly wears those kind of decent shoes. Awful conspicuous, good boots like that. Noble-born obviously, and clearly trying to disguise the fact. Your mind is already racing towards what a ransom might fetch when you’re interrupted by a gravelly voice.

“You will release the boy.”

You remember as a child the Orderlies took your dorm to see a travelling Kalgarri circus one time. There was a strongman there, Zambini or Zabossi or something. His plethora of chisseled muscles oiled up and flexing as he lifted wagons without effort. The goliath speaking to you from the alleyway reminds you of that. Except you don’t recall Zambini being armed with a great big axe. Or female.

“Or?” Damn my smart mouth.

She grins at you the way SGT ‘Bad Hand’ grins at the prospect of combat, or a particularly bloody steak. Hard to tell where she’s from. Not Kalgarri... nor the right type of brown for Ajiyimad. Perhaps even further South, to the Rakasha Raj?

“Or, long after we are both dust and back to the Goddess, people shall whisper of what I did to you this day.”

You’re just about to order your men to attack her and the now-certainly-paying-attention town guard now before three more figures emerge from the alleyway, clearly surprised to see your lot between them and the gate.

First is the Chevalisse Paladin. You know he’s a Paladin because he’s slightly glowing and covered in holy symbols head to toe. You know he’s Chevalisse because he literally has the Chevalisse Fleur-de-Lysse sewn into every bit of his tabard. That and his head is raised up as if trying to avoid smelling you peasants.

Then there’s the Kalgarri Cataphract. Well-armoured, trained in all sorts of martial arts and deadly with bow and spear. If that wasn’t enough, judging from the icons and robes he was part of the Warlord’s Elite, one of the Golden Suns.

Behind those two hovers not literally a sickly looking fellow in a blue robe wearing spectacles. He looks like he could throw up any second, but if the vials and runic inscriptions on the hem of his robes are any indication he could be the most dangerous of the bunch. Where’s his staff? Mages always carry a staff…

A muscled warrior woman from the Raj, a Chevalisse Paladin, a Kalgarri Cataphract and a Mage.

Fekking Below it. This is just what you need right now. Adventurers…

>>430099
Why yes. The plan is to not engage with them if we can but keep the goods. If we have to then it will be 30 vs 4 instead of 30 vs 4 + guards. The dogs we can deal with as they come, with a broken gatehouse and reinforcements but if these are do-gooders then giving the kid back wont get them off OUR back. If they aren't they aren't, a show of power would probably incline them towards working with us more than just acquiescing to their will.

No need to overthink this. We got the boy by the neck. Hold off the adventurers while our troops do their thing. We can negotiate with the adventurers (from a stronger position!) once the gatehouse is ours.

There’s a lot of steel being drawn around all of the sudden. You’ve lost the element of surprise against the guards sure enough as they gather on the other side of this odd confrontation, with some chagrin you notice the one you talked to earlier, Pat Kergin, is leading them.
“Okay.”No need to worsen our odds over some noble’s snotling. You start to loosen your grip on the boy who has teeth far too perfect to be the pauper he’s dressed as. “No problem. You go your way out that gate, we go our-”
Then you notice Saint gasp staring at the boy like she’s seen a ghost. Then you see Pat Kergin also staring at him. No mere Noble’s whelp get’s that kind of reaction…
“Goddess be Good. Is that really you, Cairsun?” The Blackguard one rank back from you doesn’t react as the muscled warrior-woman addresses him. “What rock did you crawl out from under on your belly from Wielder of the Morning Light, Breaker of Walls, Hero of Helmston, Killer of Vin-Sherek, Betrayer of Wives and Murderer of Fathers? Why did you not fall on your precious magic blade long ago?”
“Oi, Chev pigson!” The normally dour LCPL ‘Murder’ has stepped out of her rank speaking at the Chevalisse Paladin. “Is it true that your priests fek little boys as a pastime, or is it part of the job?”
You can’t see the expression on the either the Cairsun or the Paladin’s face, but you see both draw their swords.

Control the situation. Stabbing people is all well and good but when three of those people very good at stabbing are on the other side with a mage in tow it’s not cowardice to look for a peaceful solution.

”Hey! Shut up, muscle-lady! Cairsun, ignore muscle-lady. Lancer Murder! We are NOT doing this right now. Stow that shit and get back in formation.” You turn back to Trooper Saint, tightening your grip on the squirming, indignant child. “Saint, you tell me right now who this is.”

“He’s… he’s…” She looks on the verge of hyperventilating “Temuel, the Crown-“

At that very moment three things happen. LCPL Murder Meriam, having used your shouting as a distraction, stabs the Chevalisse Paladin in the side of the knee. The warrior woman throws a brick that hits Cairsun’s shoulder-plate with an audible *thunk* and the child stamps on your foot, causing you to curse as he pulls away out of your grip.

“To the Prince!” Pat Kergin hollers, and the rest of the Town Guard, filled with an unusual degree of courage, charge forward.

It's my policy to only include My Blood For His as an option in combat rolls, otherwise the vote in not -immediate- combat situations is slowed down drastically.

If someone had asked for it before the vote was concluded I would have also asked for a vote before rolls occurred.

Perhaps in future I should include it as a secondary vote with all choices?

>>430252
Nah, if we can't remember to use it, we don't deserve it.

So guys, who do we send to geek the mage?

>>430252
I think we just need to remember we have it, doesn't have to be a secondary thing for all choices.

>>430255
Not ourselves it seems. Because we are too big of a pussy. Or are greatly over estimating what they can do.

Well it's fairly obvious no one wants to tussle with either the Mage or Pat Kergin.

I'll take a 1d3 please.

1 = Raj Lioness (muscle-lady)
2 = Chevalisse Paladin
3 = Kalgarri Cataphract

(Given the superior numbers you would start off with a battle buddy bonus against any one of them for the first round).

Rolled 3 (1d3)

>Do not fire the FLRE! Fire-breathing Dragon, flammable town. Add that to the fact there’s still the Grenn to deal with and you have a very bad combination.
>Pat Kergin, Town Guard Extraordinaire

We can't stomach killing our new friend. Plus, an officer should be going after tougher foe.

Did Temuel get sent out of the capital before the siege?

Well, that's that. So much for you playing the peacemaker, the turbulent shifting of both groups blends together into one bloody cacophony as the melee ensues.

You make a grab for the child-heir, but with the speed of lighting the Kalgarri Cataphract spins your hand away with a swipe of his spear. Damn, he's fast. If not for your Blackthorn armour you'd have lost your hand for sure. The Kalgarri says nothing, entering into a proper fighting stance as the child runs past him.

"Fine then." You furrow your brows, grip tightening on your two-handed blade. "You first."

Whip out your pistol.

Hit the kid in the back of the knee.

>>430278
No. But after the majority of the Imperial family was massacred, two quite horrifically devoured alive in front of you by ASGORGA, the much doted-on young grandson staying in the countryside is the next in line.

Start off strong.

>>430315
I'm more worried about aim.
That never actually works in real life, there's a reason people tell you to aim for the center body mass. We'd probably miss.

>>430306
>>430307
If we are going to use the pistol + carnotaur combo, we should throw in My Blood for His for maximum damage.

>>430302
This, but hit the calf.
He might get a main artery if the bullet strays too close to the thigh.


We need to have a chat with saint about not speaking up immediately about his apparently important identity.

>>430321
>>430302
Do NOT shoot the kid, we'll miss like >>430318 says.

Nah we're already fighting these guys. We will be lucky if some one gets a lucky strike on the mage.

[Spoiler]LT Prince takes -2HP and is now Wounded![/spoiler]

You bring your pistol up at the same time that the Kalgarri throws him spear, the blade sinking into your shoulder. It hurts like the Below, but if not for your armour you’re sure you’d be missing a limb or most of it right now. But now your pistol’s aim is off, the shot wasted, as the Kalgarri launches into a flurry of blows trying to trip you up and finish you off.

It’s Corporal Hirstun of Ligh that saves the day, shoulder charging the Western Warrior and pummelling his exposed face again and again with the pommel of his blade. Then, with a trick you’ve seen only on the wrestling matts of the 12th Cav under LT ‘One-Eye’ Cao, the Kataphract launches Hirstun off and over him with a push of his legs.

But now you’re back on your feet, ready for Round 2. All around you that battle rages.
