I would *hic* like to get the pretty flag and waaaave it around! Just like my shirt. Where did I put my shirt...

[Rince Wind]

Get a battle standard to celebrate my level up!

[NickAragua]

Every company has a joker.

I'd say go for a battle standard.

[Darkening Kaos]

    Hunt down some more brigands and build our renown a bit more, plus level up a few more members.
    And the Battle Flag of Lost Shirts.

[Mephansteras]

Sounds like Standard it is. Any preference on where we go to make money?

Btw, I will be on vacation the next few days so next update will probably be Tues/Weds next week.

So, we're going to need to get more money as well as continue getting valuable battle experience, so we're going to head south. See if they have a good job, and maybe poke our noses into that ruin on the way.

We can probably run away if it is nastier than we can handle.


We stop to do a little bit of dye trading on the way down for some extra income. Profit on that'll about pay for a day of wages right there!


We're going for the Battle Standard! It only costs about 1000, but the game is nice and makes sure you are left with a decent cushion of money after it auto-deducts the money.


Hey, it's being nice and showing us what is in there. And that is a fight we can do!


All right boys and girls, let's go smack around some zombies!

Spoiler: And Finding it (click to show/hide)

Hmm. Zombies with pitchforks. I don't really like it when they get range, it makes them more dangerous. Archers, you have your targets!


We hold our formation as they slowly move forward. Our archers pepper them with arrows on the way in.


Man, zombies are slow. Spears, get ready to repel!


The spearwall does an excellent job keeping them back. Our right flank starts to move a bit to take out that second pitchfork user so it doesn't cause too much damage.


And full combat is engaged. Fortunately, they are weak and fall easily before us.


Some of them get back up, as usual, but they go back down pretty quickly.


This should about wrap it up!


Well done, everyone! Pretty good distribution of kills throughout the Company and no serious injuries!


And a very nice selection of loot for such an easy fight! I'm quite glad we did this little excursion.

Spoiler: Aftermath (click to show/hide)

Only one level-up out of it, but that's fine. Our second Corporal gets some decent stat rolls and picks up Fortified Mind which will make him better at Rallying in the future.

Spoiler: Being paid to look for Trouble (click to show/hide)

Ok, on to Hochgrube!


Hmm...a 3-skull mission. That's probably not going to be doable. (It wasn't).


However, that's a promising sounding Brawler to add to our group. So, worth stopping here anyway.

I seem to have forgotten to take a screenshot of him, but he turns out to be solid Shieldman material. Welcome aboard!


I suppose we can swing down to Siegau to see what jobs they have, and then maybe on to the west.


Ok, 2-skull. Might be doable, let's take a look.




Ok...so, these tomb excursions can be a bit dangerous. However, you can often run from them after grabbing the artifact without needing to fight, so I think we should risk this. 700 crowns will go a long way to building up our Banner fund.


Well, time to walk.


Ok, hopefully this is easy to escape from if it's as nasty as I suspect.


As I expected....skeletons. Skeletal Roman-esque legions, to be precise. Not to be trifled with.


And they have Legionaries. Yeah...we're getting out of here.


If we had better equipment I'd consider taking them on, but even if we could win right now we'd lose people. Maybe a lot of people, given that we have guys with nothing but shirts on for armor. It's not worth it.


Takes a few turns but we escape without incident.


No combat happened, so no injuries but no XP.


Mission is still a success, though, so let's go get paid!


No one is exactly happy about having to run from a bunch of skeletons, but they'd be even more unhappy if we'd lost people, so it's a small price to pay.

Spoiler: Walking for Money (click to show/hide)

Our newer Corporal decides Brother Kaos needs some extra training, which goes quite well. Always glad to have a Brawler around so this event can happen!

I chose the Teach him to Brawl option, and Kaos now has +2 to Melee Attack and Defense, which is very valuable.


Payday! And the townspeople really don't seem to care that we didn't get rid of the skeletons, so that's a plus.


While we're here and the townsfolk are happy with us we sell off that silverware we got from the zombies and pick up some cheap wine to sell later.


We'll head up to the stone keep to sell the wine and then go down to Seefeld to see if they have work for us.


Not exactly a huge profit, but better than nothing.

We also pick up some more tools here since they're pretty cheap. Cuts down on the Banner fund, but I don't like to turn down cheap tools. You always regret not having them.


Ok, hopefully Seefled has work for us!


Ah, a 2-skull. Promising.




You want to pay us 150 crowns to escort a caravan right back up the short road we came down to get here?

Yeah. Sure.

(How is this a 2-skull?)


Well, let's go.


Nice and easy. I like jobs like that.


Ok, let's go see if Seestadt has anything for us.


...It didn't. Two jobs, both really far Caravan escorts that would probably get us killed.

I think we'll just go see if we can some more Dye trading to make the rest of the money we need for the Banner.


Well...that's not great. Pity they don't have a mission we can do that'd make the Dyes cheaper.



Not an amazing profit, but it pays the bills for today.

I think next time we'll go north and see what jobs the towns up there have for us. Give the southern loop a bit of time to replenish.
