Manning and his crew will attempt to take out the important officers in the back of the army during the battle to cause a flank or severe confusion. This is not a frontal warfare roll, it's more of a surgical strike. If this is not allowed, or fails miserably, the crew will behave as a normal regiment in the battle.

((Hey, the king gets a cut too ))

((I also expect one ducat for defending your city. This isn't sarcasm.))

[Jormundur]

Jormund is glad that Johnston was able to set his arm, but still worried about Ehndras. However, there isn't much he can do to help because he has little knowledge of medicines and illnesses. The only good thing that came out of this is that Jormund can now get back to his previous tasks without fear of the shadow beasts ((at least I really hope so)). Jormund asks Johnston if there's anything that needs to be done, and if not he heads back to see if he can finally claim the land that he's been trying to.

Unless told otherwise by Johnston, attempt to claim the land in the Highlands.

Spirits...so much like mortals and yet so different, Locanil thought. The pact was sealed, and a price made; many would die, hopefully all enemy soldiers....

Locanil should write a book of spirits some day, as a manual for novices. But now was a time for rest; no attempt at the contract would be made; everytime he wasn't present the students/scribes messed up.

Action- Rest. Don't work on the commission (including the scribes).

Zandor limped his way through to the king, fear on his face. His hands are bloodied as he holds his leg where crimson blood is releasing. The blood is dripping on the floor, staining the rugs and seeping through to the rock. Around his torso is a hunting bow, and quiver, with no arrows, on his waist is a sheath, holding a rusted short sword.

"My king, my village was attacked by bandits" He shivered as the pain was taking it's toll on his aged body "I...I tried to fight them back, but they were too many. I don't know how many survived. Please, send some men there...You could still save some innocent villagers"

Zandor limped his way through to the king, fear on his face. His hands are bloodied as he holds his leg where crimson blood is releasing. The blood is dripping on the floor, staining the rugs and seeping through to the rock. Around his torso is a hunting bow, and quiver, with no arrows, on his waist is a sheath, holding a rusted short sword.

"My king, my village was attacked by wolves" He shivered as the pain was taking it's toll on his aged body "I...I tried to fight them back, but they were too many. I don't know how many survived. Please, send some men there...You could still save some innocent villagers"

((I may have missed something and this may be a trap and if it is nevermind, but I should point out the flaws.
1. Attacked by wolves?  No that would never happen ever.  Even if it did a group of humans could easily kill a pack of wolves.
2. I'm not sure were the king is, but if he's in his court (unlikely) you walked all the way from your village to the kings court to tell him that some back woods town got attacked by wolves?  Why would he care, and why would he send men when there's probably not even any survivors from this crazy wolf attack?
3. Granted if your somewhere in Preston or Miring were its' more likely the king is (I should really pay attention), then maybe he'll send someone, if it wasn't the fact that he's not the king of Preston, and Miring is still in turmoil or something.

Really I just don't buy wolf attack, change it to bandit))

((This is fantasy, right? I was going to write some sort of story about a evil druid that controlled the wolves, making them stronger and more organised, but you know, whatever, I'll change it to bandits))

[King_of_the_weasels]

((Oh well nevermind, but I expect the king to be confused as to why wolves attacked and how the won))

[Yoink]

((It's up to you, really, I mean... Sure you could've gone to a sheriff or minor noble, but if your village was near the Capital and you saw this tragedy as a good excuse to finally meet the king, well... If you want to change to bandits, they could always have been aided by weird magic-wolf-type stuff. *shrug* ))

Trubaldsome, back in his tent, flopped down on a folding canvas chair, liberally padded with cushions, with a sigh of relief.
"Waery, have a check in my bags, would you? See if there's any of that painkiller left..."
As Waery went to look through his lord's pile of luggage, Trubaldsome shifted in his chair, wincing from a stab of pain, then managed a weak grin.
"You know Waery, this Aulon yl Marchis could prove to be rather useful, in the long-term." He rain a hand through his hair, over his clammy scalp. "His father is the ruler of some place or other, the Storm Coast, yes... An agreement with them could bring valuable manpower, which we shall most definitely need to get the throne from that god-damned scum-licking Leuki. Why, I've waited years for this, with his court half-dead..."
Trubaldsome groaned suddenly, squinting his eyes shut, then produced his fancy snuffbox, now repaired and refilled, taking a couple of quick, frantic sniffs.
"Hurry up with that Waery, I feel awful... Perhaps there's some doctor in this place, somewhere."

Have Waery inject me with any remains of that painkiller stuff Drua made, then have him send some men to go look around for any refugee doctors of any quality around the city/camp, bringing them to my tent.

((Also, lol at Taric 'The Just'... "I think he's... In Preston... Well, I think that means we could off him more easily and blame in on Preston." xD ))

[Terenos]

((And d'Avistral is totally considering it!))

[Ardas]

((Ok, seems I'm off to a good start. I wouldn't be worried about the trading rules for now, I will be mixing a lot of politics with it.))

   Miring certainly was an interesting place to be at this time, Hans thought. If the weapons-luxuries-sword coast opportunity is to be seized, this is the time. True, its under temporary occupation and the current arrangements won't last long, but the trade deals afterwards will be worth more than this. And the credit can be exploited as an edge against the locals, who seem to know only how to sell grain to the neighbouring village. Besides, trade with home isn't the only thing Hans sets out to do...
After a meal and a night at the inn, Hans sets out once again to the city. A suitable (and secure) locale has to be found for a merchant's office, a warehouse rented and people hired. Putting his personal charm into gear, Hans sets out to build foundations for his trade empire.
"My dear fellow, do you mind telling me where I can find a suitable location for a merchant such as me?" Hans aked a decently dressed man who stood in the port, giving out orders to dock workers.
"For start, I am not your fellow, and yes, I know where you can find something. If you ask around main city sqare, traders there should have something, unless they moved out or the place got looted."
There will be more conversations like that, But Hans was undeterred in his quest for basic office space. He had coin on his side after all.

Organize a house with an office and rent a warehouse and hire workers, all for 3 Ducats of credit (I hope that is sufficient).

Let it be known that I'm attempting a chronology/atleast a list of characters in Storybook. That's 131 pages to go through, humh.

[Ardas]

((Well, its a brilliant story that people created so far, so turning it into a condensed, readable format will be for everyone's benefit.))

[adwarf]

((Oh well nevermind, but I expect the king to be confused as to why wolves attacked and how the won))

((Dire Wolves are massive, and can easily kill a human before they kill them, so it could be Dire Wolves that attacked.))
