MP Game - Yarnspinners

[Alneyan]

I know I am not exactly in advance. *Kicks silly connection*

The Kingdom of the Vale, Spring:

"All archers, draw!" Silbertain, the commander of the Vale forces yelled at his troops. His only merit in the eyes of Ilneoa was his mighty lungs, hardly enough to secure a position as officer by her standards. Still, she surmised his powerful voice would be more helpful to carry out orders or galvanise the troops than the wits he must have left in a cup of ale.

"Fire!" The first volley of arrows flew towards their intended target, but the bowmen were already busy reloading their weapons. "Draw! Fire!" Again the bows sang, but this time more than a few projectiles were off course. "Fire! Pull back! Draw! Fire!" More soldiers failed to send their arrows with any accuracy, and a few could not keep up with the hectic pace imposed by Silbertain. Truly, it did not bode well for the outcome of the battle.

As the archers finished emptying their quivers, Ilneoa came among her defenders. "This is your Last day in the Fair Land; at dusk, you are to move southwards, for the defence of the Vale requires your arms and your strength." Her crystalline voice rang clearly in the camp, but there was still a hint of worry in her words. "But today, you are free to rejoice. Let the feast fill your hearts with gaity, as you deserve no less." Her troops cheered at her proposal, and already drinks and meet were shared freely.

This evening, they would still be spring lads, but on the morrow they would have to face an unknown foe. The southern lands they were attacking were run by a minor lordling, a vassal of the Earl of Syzran. Rumour has it that his county had been overrun by the savage warriors thriving in these barren lands; either way, his estate was surely weakened and unable to repel a major offensive. Thus did her good hearted-men walked at twilight, leaving the bountyful Avalon for the hostile Kostroma.

Ermor: Turn 3

The attack on Gali went excepetionally well. Rolf Magnus and his mercenaries were worth the investment, as a crossbow bolt immediatley sent one of the defending captains to a wounded retreat. The heavy infantry was made up of braver men than expected, but my fearless followers held them long enough for the crossbowmen's work to be done.

The ritual I cast was a success, and a powerful elder mage named Simith has followed my call to service. He shares my conviction of bringing the ultimate enlightenment into the world, and I will have many a task for him before this is done. For now, he shares the library with me, for there is much lost knowledge to uncover.

Angmar obviously distinguished himself greatly during the battle in Gali, and is now feared in the whole world as a hero and slayer of such.

Seeing that my troops had little difficulty with the heavy infantry , I send them directly to the north, to conquer another promising looking farmland province defended by a mere few slingers. Sometimes I wish I had studied under the ancient forebears of Mictlan, for blood has a powerful attraction of its own, and blood and its otherwise useless vessels are plentiful in my newly formed realm.

Speaking of my realm, I have decided to raise the ancient flag of fallen Ermor as a symbol of fear and power. And so I announce to the world: Ermor has risen again in all its splendor, for I am Noth, Prince of Fever.

-Abysia turn 3-


Well my military commanders tell me that they have achieved some sort of victory over a great army, no doubt a small group of rabble even more poorly organized than they. Small matter to me i suppose, i have been putting all my energies towards advancing my studies in the arcane arts so that i will no longer have to rely on the frail abilities of mortals to expand my empire. Already i have started forming a small cabal of hedge wizards and diabolists to aid me in my causes. Things go slowly, but they go well, and i posess more than enough patience for the task at hand.

--Mictlan-- (3)
(Once a Prophet....)

The old god had many prophet. In point of fact Sethra the Lustful Mother was one for ages. Here in the Northern Forests of Mictlan there lay little in the way of Order. Devout cruisaders patrol the lands, bringing all within the yoke of Sethra. Some say the Lustful Mother asks nothing of those within HER dominion. Others feel this growing dominion of Mictlan's Goddess is simple nature at work. One thing is certain...blood pours upon the alters through night and day!

If no-one objects, I'll happily take them.

So, scoring is 2 for a decent report, 1 for a report that is too short or long (or dull?!), and 0 for no report. I'll try to be as consistent as possible and not piss anybody off.

I won't actually mark down for errors in grammar or syntax, though the temptation to do so is strong! You'll just have to bear with me on that, it's my favourite subject. (In my country they suddenly stopped teaching grammar in most schools about 12-15 years ago, then they forbade examiners to dock marks for poor grammar or spelling in all subjects other than English Language, then .... [/i][ramble, drone ....][/i])

AFAIU, you've had marks for turns 1 & 2. So I'll be dishing out marks for turn 3 and on .... can somebody tell me which days of the week the turns run? I guess I ought to allow a couple of days for people to write up, and then award the points just before the next turn.

Let me know if that sounds ok ...

Everyone is supposed to have their story for the current turn done by the time the turn hosts, currently set to twice a week (84 hours). Not sure exactly when the next generation is, I think it is tomorrow.

Currently we are on turn 3, and everyone should have their third chapter posted before the next turn generation.
