Simply use the protection of the vehicle to take potshots at them.

((Ok, lads, last update for today.))
Patrick Hunt
Responses are immediate and various:
[3] - We do not know you, little elf. We have no reason to respect you for now, so we shall not send our proud sons into a battle useless for restoration of our Empire. For we have proven ourselves more than able to fight and defeat humans ourselves. In our way. We are not with you, little colonel.
[6] - That is how you serve it? Allright. We would show our "brothers" we left behind how strong we grew behind their backs! We will defeat Men! With yuor help. We are in.
[6] - That sounds like a good fight. And what kind of orc would refuse from a good fight, especially when it comes to self-defence? But we'll have to unite orcish clans for that. This will take time.
[6] - Hehe, not like the Sellgun was as respected as his father - everyone knows he takes any job hу is paid for. But a preventive strike without involving the state into war officially is a nice idea. We're in. But don't you count on full-scaled invasion from Dwarven Commonwealth.

UltraValican
 - Wanna keep that? Extract the gem from the hilt. It may be useful for me later. Next. You were able to find this place because I made a direct channel between this sword and my mirror here. So I could watch the events happening from a distance. that was the race you felt. Usually ones like this are carefully hidden, but I was not aware that other mages were present in the area, so I didn't bother to hide it. So just having a magic-created item is not sufficient to find each other for mages. There should be a direct link between sorcerer and the item. Any other questions?

Caerwyn and darkpaladin109
((darkpaladin109 I actually have no idea of what you do here. I presume you just hide and lie in wait.))
[both sides are in cover, which gives them -1 nerf to enemy attacks]
[initiative roll 2 vs 2] Next shots are made simultaneously by attackers and your squad
[Squad]
[2-1] Shot made by Urast hits the rock, behind which a bandit is covered
[4-1+1+1] Alexander takes careful aim and shoots right trough the thin rocck protrusion that hides the bandit. The bullet scratches the rock and hits one's throat. Another one bites the dust.
[6-1] You give a short burst of three rounds from your carabine. It is effective - another one bites the dust.
[3-1] Bullet shot by Zigfried hits the rocks right above the offender's hat.
[Bandits]
[1-1] Looks like one of them has his rifle jammed
[5-1] This one's shot hits right shoulder of darkpaladin. It may be not lethal, but signifivicantly painful and effectiveness-decreasing.
[2-1] Shot goes wide
[6-1] This one hits the engine of your truck. Judging by the fact that it went through it, you guess it may be some measure of problems with starting it back.
[3-1] A small cloud of dust is made by a missed shot that hits the road surface.
[3-1] Hits the rocks behind you
[2-1] Shot went wide
[1-1] This unfortunate seems to have his gun shoot the breechblock to his face, judjing by his cries.
Continue shooting like that until they're all dead?

"May I suggest you consider this my dragonborn friend, if you stand with me now I will stand with you to rebuild your empire."

Removing his top Harberad showed the black flesh caused by the poison.

"This should show you all you need to know about me, these wounds would have killed almost anybody who took them.

I fought off an assassin wielding a magical blade with 1 arm while bleeding to death and poisoned and I lived. What does that tell you about me? "



Pulling a sheet of paper from his pocket Haberad quickly wrote a note out twice and waved a hand towards the door to attract the volunteer standing guard, taking the notes with a nod he ran to the commanders of Squad 34 and Kywernas to deliver the orders which read.

"Divide up by truck and head out you have 2 weeks to locate every Legend, human mercenary company and Wardogs ranked company you can find and bring them here, you get a 20% bonus to your fee for every company or legend you can find me."

Rush out, using the rapidly firing gun to draw their attention. Move fast, keep them from shooting the vehicle or those near it.

[I presumed you chose a special man who writes down everything said to show it to you, since you are deaf. Well, that makes a bit sense.]
- That tells me you are now a cripple. Brave, courageous, tough cripple. How the fact you survived the attack of an assasin should convince me that I should involve my whole nation into war? I can promise that no resistance from our side shall ever come as a response of your actions, as long as you fight to free your home. That is what I can do.

((Once more - ranks I made exist only OOC. There are no certain "ranks" of mercenaries IC. Edit yer post a bit, please.))
[Your scouts leave. You estimate their arrival in a week.]

Rolepgeek
 - You see, I worked in The Guardian, a private security company. Bodyguards services and such. Made good money. I have failed to protect a client recently - years, they were passing along so fast I haven't mentioned I'm 53 already. Had three more days before retirement. Dammit.

Caerwyn
[initiative roll - 2 vs 3] Your divided squad reacts faster.
[Squad]
[5-1] You give another short burst and hit someone badly. No idea what is actual wound, but judging by his cries that echo all over the mountains, he's out of the fight.
[5-1] Zigfried aims and hits one right in the right shoulder that protruded over the rock. A sound of metal hitting the stone tells you he dropped his gun, and it's continuation tells that the gun is totally out of his range now.
[1-1] Urast's rifle jams. Dammit.
[4-1+1+1] Alexander aims once more time and drops another bandit down. Another one bites the dust.
[bandits]
Two bandits left decide to run for their lives. They leave their covers and run away. Let them go or shoot'em in the back and pursue them?
(Two more are still alive, but are uncapable to shoot - one is the guy who's gun shot the breechblock to his face, and the other one has his hand wounded)

(( Using the rank was just to make sense for you, just means they're to locate only the most experienced veteran mercenaries. One of the Nephalem is playing scribe for me. ))

"Then go home Dragonborn, when you decide it's time your species stopped brooding on the past and started looking to the future follow the trail of human dead, we'll be standing at the other end and tell your people, if they want to fight for there future they're welcome at my side."

Haberad waits for him to leave then turns to the rest.

"Uhm, what are your names? I'd rather not refer to you by your species it's insulting. Anyway,

Elf, I need as many professional elven infantry as possible here in 3 weeks time and then I need you to gather as many more as you can give me and send them to me once they're gathered. I need them all armed with Bows, Bodkin arrows, Remote triggered explosives, Scale armor and a pair of sabers. I'd also request you to send me your most experienced elven commander.

I intend to have a council of the most experienced warriors to work with me, I do lack experience though having faced vastly superior humans twice before and won crushing victories both times I know my enemies weakness and how to use it. But those warriors will advise me and help me to win this war.


Dwarf, from your people I know you will not send me an entire army so I choose to request quality. I want the very best tanks, mobile artillery and IFV units you possess. As many as your willing to give me and I want heavy weapons team with heavy armor and heavy machineguns. The elves will provide our second line and missile support. Bows give us a distinct advantage in that regard. From you I need heavy weapons and armored support. You possess the greatest quality weaponry in these regards.
I will also need to know how much you will charge me for supplies, you don't want to actively declare war but supplying us with the equipment we need to fight it will be every bit as valuable without you needing to declare and I need those units here in 3 weeks time with the most experienced commander of armored vehicles you can give me.


Orc, how many warriors does your clan possess? I will acquire heavy armor, battleaxes, shields and throwing axes enough to arm every warrior of your clan, your people will form the frontline in battle with the armor and shields to withstand anything thrown at you your people will be a wall of death our enemy can not withstand. I need every warrior of your clan here in 3 weeks time and of course your warchief will stand at my side on my council.

Oh and mages, if any of you can spare any trained mages they would be invaluable. The humans expect us to fight them head on and I think you will all agree that we should fight to our enemies weaknesses not his strengths.
And one last thing, I have scouts out working on it but as you travel and arrange everything please keep your eyes open for any particularly skilled mercenaries, if you come across any send them along to me. I'm building a regiment of mercenaries, a regiment with a wide variety of unique skills and a few extra pairs of eyes can't hurt.


This will be a great war my brothers and together we will win a victory the world will never forget.


Send 9 of the Nephalem to scout the forests in the wildlands looking for the dark elves they have 2 weeks and 6 days to find them and return.

Send the dragonborn who joint me as a volunteer to his people to seek warriors and mages who want to join us, he's to guide a nephalem and let the nephalem negotiate with any warriors and mages they find to convince them to join us. They have 3 weeks.

"That sounds like a truly awful bout of luck, then. I take it they were not understanding about the circumstances that led to your lack of success? And chose to withhold the funds needed for retirement?"
Jaster pauses for a moment, considering, then asks anyway, shrugging mentally. "Do you have any plans for the near future? If not, you might consider accompanying me on my journey; there is safety in numbers, and you might be able to start a new life on the other side of the mountains. Or simply take up residence at my destination; the island of Saribous, if you've heard of it."
