War it is; with the humiliating defeat by the Natoyans only in the recent past, it is decided that you will strike Natoya through the mountain pass known as Spite Pass by the Torch Bearers. How many men should you muster? The chieftain is leaning towards the figure of 1000 men, but other voices are also being heard on the subject.

Most clan leaders push for a larger number than the chief felt comfortable with, a figure of 1,340 men. About a tenth of that figure make up the boarhound riders for now. However, with a tenth of the population going to war, Chief Ard warns that if things were to go south, the agricultural base of Taelia would be crippled. Due to this, he hands off command to Pathfinder Adare Saoirse; if anyone is going to lead this army, it should be someone who knows the pass. Now, how will the army get there?

Travel by land is fair as the army sets off in the spring, though the act of moving 1,340 men across the country is taking several weeks to manage. Casualties are also not unheard of, both due to overwork of the men and the occasional hazard presented by these wild lands. However, as the men skirt round the strange desert, they finally reach Spite Pass after a little under a month.

The mountain pass is relatively easy, threading a gap between tall mountains to either side of you. As it goes, you can see why it is called Spite Pass; for as you come of the area, you fall upon the nearby hamlets and the iron mine quickly, leaving no quarter for those While you have no doubt that you have been spotted, within the week you have set up an area of control around the mine itself, fortifications included. Roughly 1,300 men still remain, perhaps a little under that, now. You've seen no signs of the Natoyan army.

The boarhounds lead the blitz south, and are the first to report sighting the city. A large wooden palisade rings the city, though within, the buildings are largely made of stone. However, as you approach, having burnt, pillaged, and captured what you could, it just seems like one more obstacle to take down. Towers on the edge of the palisade do appear manned, with archers shooting any rider who comes to near. On top of that, you imagine that an army waits for you within the wooden walls.

Most of the surrounding settlements appear to have used the swamp itself as an evacuation point. While suicide for anyone else, it is known that the swamp's ill effects are something Natoyans are immune to, and due to the Swampwalkers that they worship, they are much more protected within the area. As the battering rams are finished, the ships finally appear to stop moving between the swamp and city. Now, the battle truly begins! As the walls of Natoya are being battered, the main force of your army remains behind these siege weapons, waiting for a chance to burn the city that has caused so much pain to Taelia over the centuries... As the afternoon sun slowly begins to lower, the battle of Natoya begins.

Clan Flynn is counted in a large number among those wielding the battering rams, and over the next few hours, they certainly show why. Coordinating themselves with the drums that are so greatly associated with them, the muscular men quickly break several holes in the wall, which your men (barring the boarhound riders) swarm into! While there are defenses within the city, the Natoyans are clearly surprised by the ease at which you break the palisade, with a number still working on secondary fortifications!

Your men peel through the holes in the wooden structure like men possessed, a handful taking the time to destroy it further and allow a gap for the boarhound riders to come through too! While the Natoyan mages are proving difficult for the first line, your numbers and your quick orderly formation once you have breached the wall is perhaps hurting the Natoyans more than their arrogance in assuming they had more time. While they may be outfitted well, a novice in iron is quickly slaughtered by a veteran dressed mostly in leather, as your men are quickly proving. Even the archers up on the towers within the city are being overwhelmed, the ones at the wall being cornered and killed as some Taelish dare to climb the buildings and cut them down. However, your scouts are reporting a force incoming from the east; the Natoyans appear to have transferred a number of their men to the swamp, and along with some of the villagers of fighting age, they appear to be coming to support their own.

Encouraged by the arrival of their fellow countrymen, the Natoyans fight like the beasts you know them to be, and are using every dirty trick in the book to turn the tide of the battle. As you spread out into the city, it appears that many of their defenses are nothing of the sort, and merely serve to divide and funnel your army so it can be cut up into pieces! More mages and archers can be found on every building of decent size, and even some a single story tall. Their women and children have also emerged from where they must have been hidden, taking up the weapons of their menfolk and trying to fight alongside them! A most evil deed, presumably urged on by the males, knowing no good Taelish man would strike down a woman or child... and still their smaller force approaches from the west. It appears even Swampwalkers are coming with them, despite never being known to venture out of the swamp, even by Natoyans! Can your men hold them off?

No, you will not shatter now, not against heathens and mutants! Your army stabilizes as the last riders finally move into the city, preventing them from getting caught by the enemy fast encroaching from the outside. While the Natoyans are certainly putting up a fight, your men have realized that changelings are curs, and even women and children should be treated as such. Due to this, you are having an easier time working your way through, towards a more defendable position closer to the heart of the city. However, the archers and mages atop buildings are still harassing you, and slowing your progress. If you cannot break through now, you may be sandwiched between the defenders and the strange swamp spirits of these heathens!

Boarhound riders of the Saldos in the rear; Goraidh and his Talons clearing the way; the loggers turned butchers of the Flynns preparing themselves for more blood to be spilled. While there are no doubt other groups in the army assembled here, this unlikely combination lead the procession of your force to the center of Natoya, an easily defendable location from which you can face the enemy and their reinforcements without being flanked. An escape is not thought about; and why should you? Apart from the archers and mages overhead, the enemy in the city is broken. Or it was. For now the Swampwalkers lead the reinforcements, and as they do, the Natoyans rally around them! They come straight for you, but you proud Taelish soldiers stand ready!

Under the onslaught of the Swampwalkers, your men receive no respite! The number here can be counted on two hands, and yet still they are the most devastating force your men have ever seen. The strange beasts are capable of tearing a man's flesh to nothing, and worse still, the injuries they receive they shrug off. Disgustingly, they even absorb the dead flesh of the fallen, be they Natoyan or Taelish, and incorporate it into their body only to wreak more havoc! Your lines are falling apart, falling back from the position you hold, and even as the commander calls for men to clear out the rooftops, that is easier said than done, as the Natoyans also take up arms and join their beastly gods.

The lull in the firing overhead also allows the commander to call out his order once more, this time with it being actually observed by those following him.

The Swampwalkers act as a rear guard for their people, and do what they can, stemming your tide mainly near the wall. However, the boarhound riders do what they can, and slice through the enemy easily, killing the Natoyans fleeing to the swamp. This carries on in the grasslands as well over the next few days, until roughly a week has passed. A messenger has already been sent out to Taelia by boat of your success, but by your count close to 200 men have died, and a few hundred remain wounded. The casualties are worse for the Natoyans however, with estimates ranging from between 300 to 600 dead here, and a thousand or so enslaved (I'll give more accurate figures later).

Lastly, it appears that the Natoyan ships are not in their harbour, and have docked inside the river, along the banks of the swamp. The remainder of their population has gathered there, and most guess that they will launch a naval campaign in the next few days, assuming they have enough men to do so. However, a question also comes of their supplies, as it is doubtful they have much remaining.

What will you do?

>>3329885

Withdrawal to the east begins, leaving Natoya and its ruins behind. As you move out, give me three rolls for your attempted burning of the fleet. A hard feat to do, though.

(The infiltration referred to is the fact that unbeknownst to the army prior to the end of the battle, a member of the Torch Bearers integrated into Natoyan society poisoned the water supply of Natoya.)

Ten days after you set out, men go about their daily business in Taelia as usual. Most of those called up from war are farmers, who make up the majority of the population, and because of this, the city isn't devoid of life. Merchants sell their goods, slaves move about doing their master's business, and above it all, the Fairy Tree stands above, watching over as a colossal onlooker. It spots the boats approaching first, but soon after, guards atop the walls of the city report it as well; foreign ships are approaching! The port wall will hold, and the only entrance in and out of the artificial harbor created in past years is a thin strip of water, which has guard towers with barrels of animal oil and torches. However, the area of the city next to the river is exposed, and will most likely be the place on which the enemy chooses to land.

What will you do? There are two decisions to make, regarding the navy and the land defense, the latter of which is more a matter of priority.

Navy:
A. Send out the navy to engage
B. Keep the navy within the harbour and use the oil if they attempt to attack the boats

(That number should be twenty-five, which you to believe the number of Natoyan ships. They support forty-oars, but it appears their numbers are not that full, from what was seen from the city.)

After a little more than fifteen days of raiding, the Natoyans return home. Scouts stationed upon the river report that they return with more oarsmen than they started with, and in chains. Riders sent south report a purging of people rather than farms, with the Natoyans focused on killing all those they could not bring back as slaves. Notably, women are those enslaved, while the men were killed quickly. However, while heavy damage was done, the Natoyans were forced to hit hamlets due to the Nimuean suggestion of sending out riders, putting them on a somewhat defensive footing. Around 150 slaves were taken, while a similar amount lay dead.

However, a single Natoyan ship waits behind, and moves to the Taelish port. The men on board quickly call themselves out as the official envoys of the Natoyans, and it is only the chief that prevents them from being killed by the guards on watch. By the time the army returns home, negotiations have not begun, as the chief waits for the Pathfinder to make terms clear, as he would know the full extent of whatever damage had been done to Natoya.

As a sign of their goodwill, the Natoyans present release the slaves they have brought with them; they recognize their defeat they say, and do not mean to bring further bloodshed forward.

They find the demands regarding the iron mine a little extreme, and instead propose that they can instead give half of what they claim from there to you. This means men stationed next to Natoya, which troubles them, but they seem to find it more agreeable than the alternative.

>>3351416
Then can keep half of it if they compensate us with tribute

>>3351416
tribute

>>3351434
That's acceptable to them, agreeing to give most of the copper mined annually as tribute.

With that, the war ends successfully for you; however, in Natoya, you imagine sentiments are not so positive. Notably, the slave population of Taelia has increased by around a thousand. The chief appears close to passing on as well, though.

K - What should you research?

Magic is a little more free form, so if there are avenues you wish to explore, suggest them.

>>3351664
Air the use of the winds

>>3351664
The Nimuea will present their research to the public and now hopefully with the support our our whole community we can develop it further! For all! Elementals!

Give me three rolls as you further experiment with this idea of elementals in mind...

Your research concludes the same as the Nimueans; creating an elemental is possible, if quite hard, but giving it "life" is something beyond you right now. However, by being especially involved in the ritual of creation of an elemental, a mage can gain control of it. Yet, for the basic, small elementals you have begun to create, barely two feet in size and misshapen, you are not sure what the use of such a creature would be.

In other news, slaves and rewards have been granted to Clan Flynn, the Talons, the Saldos, and the Torch Bearers, in return for their service during the war. While the Talons immediately freed their slaves, the prestige they have earned remains mostly untarnished. Lastly, the chief appears healthier now that spring has come, but another harsh winter will likely end his life.

The greatest thinkers of Taelia, watching the stars, have discovered something strange; the sun and the moon, unlike the stars that exist outside your world, are bound to the earth. What does that mean? If their theories are correct, it means that the world is flat, and the sun and moon circle around the earth in a strange pattern. Could something magical be behind this? What could have the power to make things this way?

As those questions are being asked, Chief Ard finally passes, not seeing the new year. His son, educated in part by the Priests of Esaudh, holds a special disdain for heathens, and similar to his father, is quite arrogant.He also possesses a trait of his grandfather, being quite a cunning man. However, the most well known personality trait of his is his great cruelty, something which has some already fearing his reign. Long live Chief Idalach! He has already organized feasting in the city and Worm Hill in his honor, garnering support among the public.
