I didn't see anything in there about them lasting very long, but I'm sick of arguing, so whatever. I want to watch the Venture Bros now.

Solona Malokov: Send a cruiser and some scouts to assist Azalyn. Finish the industrial base.

[EagleV]

Oh, before I forget, an addendum to my previous turn:
The scouts who are tasked with taking a vine plant should drop a cannonball on the ground. I want to know if it 'attacks' cast iron as well.

[Evil Marahadja]

Send Scouts Cruisers and flagship to assist Azalyn. If possible, use grapeshots when approching to thin out the enemy crew before boarding. (I am assuming that my flagship do have quite a lot of soldiers on it since its a military-military ship0
If the enemy noble surrender, do not attack. Obviously.

"Cannon-fire? ... I'll deal with it in a minute. Anyway, scouts, I want you to scout to the south and west. I want one of you to land by the border of the hills and see if the "acid" effects metal. If it doesn't, I need you to put a small sample of hill soil in a metal box and start testing what it dissolves, preferably off of the ship.. Fleet, you're doing fine, just get some military on the ground and keep patrolling the skies. I'll be with you in a second.

Now, about that cannon-fire. ... Wait, she's attacking the emperor's ship? ... Hold on, let me send a message to Sergej."

Message: "Hello Sergej, it's Entren again. I need to know what you want to do about the attack on the emperor's ship, if anything. I'm not ready for a war right now, and I need to know what's going on exactly. Just send me any news. Thank you, Entren."

Scouts scout southwest, with one taking the soil sample as above. The fleet continues its work, but bring some soldiers down to defend the colonists. Continue patrolling the skies with ships. My flagship and arcani join up with the fleet.

Spoiler: Entren Artemi (click to show/hide)

Name: Entren Armeni
Gender/Age: Male, 36 years old
Appearance: A medium-height, generally unassuming man with brown hair and green eyes. However, looking past the unassuming exterior reveals one of the more powerful mages that civilization has ever produced. He began to work magic at 19 after leaving his apprenticeship at a blacksmith. He picked magic up quickly, gaining the position of high mage after a mere thirteen years of practice. He was instrumental in developing the rift, a process that drained much of his energy, making him look older that he should.
Skills: Arcane Research, Magic, Leadership, and Summoning
Natural Magic: Earth

Flagship: Riftsailer
Flagship type: speed, arcane support
300 Storage, +8 Speed, +3 short range, - long range, +3 protection, arcane support

Salavev De Ravenov, Black Chrysanthemum


Salavev frowned. Cannon fire, no response for an explanation for cannon fire. That wasn't good.


Both cruisers and all scouts head in direction of cannon fire. All other vessels continue south.

Spoiler: Character (click to show/hide)

Name: Salavev De Ravenov

Gender/Age: 26/186 Female (estimated/chronological)

Appearance: 5'6", slightly built woman with dark grey hair pulled into a ponytail and eyes that slowly but constantly shift hues. Tends towards formal, tight-fitting, intricately patterned robes in a somewhat oriental style.

Background: Salavev De Ravenov was born nearly two hundred years ago, the daughter of arcanely-gifted nobility. She quickly rose to become one of the favored pupils of the royal archmage of the time, before disappearing into a rift during a rather spectacular accident involving eldritch forces. One hundred and sixty four years later, a woman was found, dazed and confused, attempting to shamble back into the capital, with no idea of who or where she was, only where she needed to go. Her memory slowly got better, and historical records and her talent and knowledge of past events supported her claim about who she was.

What it didn't do was explain where she had been all those years- for her memories had been returning not only slowly, but in warped, apparently symbolic fashion, sometimes yielding perfectly sane, ordinary images and facts, other times producing correct but cryptic knowledge in need of deciphering, and still other times spouting sheer madness with no known rational explanation. She claims to have learned and experienced things during her absence, again backed up by existing records, but still can't say exactly what.

The mystery of her hair and eyes is another quandry- the De Ravenovs certainly do not have dark grey hair nor eyes that slowly shift through every color imaginable, and as far as ancient records indicate, neither did Salavev.

Skills : Melee (or Swordsmanship, if too broad), Metamagic (raw eldritch energies), Alteration (changing or imbuing things), Organization (bureaucracy, logistics, workflow, etc)
Natural Magic : Sky

Flagship name: Black Chrysanthemum
Flagship type: Arcane Support x2

Spoiler: Fleet (click to show/hide)

6 scouts
2 cruisers, strafers, and steamers
1 supply ship, 1 civilian ship, 1 seeder and 1 lumber clipper

In case you missed it:

Azalyn Kementari:
 * Signal fleet commanders to expect a situation update from me once the immediate tactical situation has been resolved

Incidentally, this is not the first battle to take place. I didn't notice anyone rushing to respond to the sound of cannon fire when Leonard returned fire on a wyvern that destroyed one of his ships

Well, this is happening right after the ship with the emperor's family amd court arrived and were seen heading in the direction of the current cannon fighting. Others may have seen the wryvern, and I don't think anybody thought it was a ship beng fired upon. There's a reason my flagship and arcani tried to avoid the forest on the way back to the fleet at first.

You've been rather vocal about your desire to attack the holy noble guys. It's not that strange that people would grow suspicious. I'm still waiting for the situation report of your loss or victory.

[LordBucket]

I'm still waiting for the situation report of your loss or victory.

Which can't happen until after the battle is resolved.

[LordBucket]

Incidentally...

Send Scouts Cruisers and flagship to assist Azalyn. If possible, use
grapeshots when approching to thin out the enemy crew before boarding.

I advise you to not do that. You spent two pages expressing desire and intent to attack me. I'm unlikely to believe you if you show up claiming to want to assist.

And even if I do, boarding a vessel that I've spent three turns fighting is likely to come across as an attempt to steal war booty.

I advise you to not enter the combat zone.

[Lillipad]

I'm confused. Hasn't he been trying to help you?

Salavev De Ravenov, Black Chrysanthemum

Message to fleet:

General Kementari, do you require aid? What are you firing at?


((Salavev prefers to let everyone listen in on conversations unless there's a reason not to.))

In case you missed it:

Azalyn Kementari:
 * Signal fleet commanders to expect a situation update from me once the immediate tactical situation has been resolved

((Ah, I had missed this. It's still suspicious and vague enough to warrant investigation, though.))

Incidentally, this is not the first battle to take place. I didn't notice anyone rushing to respond to the sound of cannon fire when Leonard returned fire on a wyvern that destroyed one of his ships

((That was presumably much shorter and smaller in scale, and didn't generate a cannon fire report for me.))

[LordBucket]

I'm confused. Hasn't he been trying to help you?

That's not the way I remember it. Curiously, it seems that Evil Marahadja edited his turn post from 4 days ago within minutes of todays turn post:

This post, in which he announced his intent to "help" was created "Today at 05:23:13 am"

And this post, which is the post I remember as being the post in which he announced his intent to flank me in the moment after I opened fire and then board me...but that now apparently says he was going to attack the imperial flagship, was edited a few minutes prior: « Last Edit: Today at 05:18:21 am by Evil Marahadja »

It's possible it's all a simple misunderstanding. If so, I apologize. However, when each of us is wielding fleets capable of destroying each other I think it behooves us all to take reasonable precautions to prevent such misunderstandings resulting in players being permanently removed from the game.


: Jamnan, I advise you to not enter the combat zone. Misunderstandings might occur.

[Lillipad]

In that post he said he was going to help you even before the edit.
