((Great. Even with no weapons, we can just lob warhead over the size. And they do not know about the lack of weapons. And this ship is full of high-tech soldiers. ))

[Ghazkull]

Battle of the First Landing

Your men rush immediately behind the up to now knee-deep trench and use the thrown up Dirt as cover. The Sol's Sons having stood guard form the first Battle-Line to repel the Xenos till your men have formed up.

Delvos Men manage to grab their weapons and get behind the hip-high dirt walls. The Sol's Sons form alongside them. As their massive hulks and gleaming armours can be seen by the Xenos the Charge staggers. As teh First shots are fired by the Gauss Weapons the Xenos freeze in Terror.

Morale Test Raiders: [6-1=5],[1-1=0],[4-1=3],[3-1=2],[1-1=0] 4 Xeno regiments Rout!

The firghtening Enemy soldiers cause the Xenos to run en masse, the few remaining find themselves standing alone.

[Dragor23]

"Heh. Thanks for the help. Now let's kill the rest and then we're done with them."
That was all Delvos said to the Sol's Sons, because now he wants to pursue the raiders to clear the perimeter for the rest of the crusade.
"Goldmouth, if I have the honour..."

Clear perimeter of every xenos with the help of the Sol Sons! If they give up, take prisoners.

[adwarf]

Do not resist, being alive and hurt is better then being dead.

((Out I go Wee_eeeeeeeee ))

[Ghazkull]

"Damnable fool that's what they want you to..."
and off are the Bloodbrothers...

[1]Your men charge into the forest only to run into an pretty obvious trap. [6] more Xenos regiments await you inside. The Sol'S Sons will propably come to help you but only in [3] 2 Rounds.

[Dragor23]

After the battle

Delvos stabs his épée trough the throat of a dying xenos to ease his pain and deliver him a swift death.

" I thought you would follow me, Goldmouth. I knew they would ambush us. But I relied on your weapons and blinking armor... Seems to frighten them. But it seems you're also slower with them." He lost good men, just because they're thinking slow. But, oh well, they knew that they can die and he can always hire more, even better when the Archon pays him. "Gather the prisoners, I want to talk with them." says the captain to one of his men. He salutes and follows his orders.

Attempt to recruit the xenos as auxiliaries. If they don't accept, fine.

[Taricus]

Tavius admired the ship during the slow trip in FTL, astounded by the fact that despite all the damage it's subsystems and hull had taken the ship was still travel-worthy.

Now, back at the system he had called home for a more than a few years, Tavius had a few things to do... "So, Averys. Think we ought to tell Roim your home yet, or did you want to give him a surprise by showing back up in person?"

[Ghazkull]

Trent

The angry mob starts beating you up [1] far more than what actually was good. They broke both your legs before flinging you out. Uncaring if you survive or not.

[1] Your fall is not better you plunge head forward into the water and hit a cliff, going unconscious.

[?] Silently you drift in the darkness. Cool, fresh and...grainy. When you come around again you notice that you somehow survived. The sea has spit you out. As you try to move you flinch in pain. [3] some of your ribs, your jaw and some teeth are broken. Otherwise you have survived, although you propably have a concussion. You try to get up but as soon as you lift your head a bit you get dizzy and fade out again. Next when you wake up you find yourself surrounded by green reptilian feet...crap.

You look at the Name of the Ship, but the script is completely unkown to you.[1] Although you have learned a lot of different languages and scripts in your time you can decipher anything.

The silence on the radio continues for a while. Suddenly you strange guttural sounds. Almost squawking. You don't understand a single word...

_______________________

Delvos

[Autofail]You start talking to the Xenos but soon it turns out none of them speaks your language. Goldmouth seems amused. "You know we are not paid for making friends sweetie?"

Sheb,Azthor

[?]as the days and weeks settle in, the Camp getting established and the Siege Lines eyeing each other with less and less interest and more and more will to already shed blood your quartermasters come to you with bad news. THe extra Supplies bought by Azthor have vanished. But more strangely they haven't gone missing completely. Your soldiers aren't lacking food, somebody just stole them out of the Supply Train....weird.

_________________________

Ardas

Over the course of the following weeks, the frigates transport the remaining Regiments to the New Continent. On a less suprising note, Trent is still missing...

[Dragor23]

"Yes, I know. But I can't help and notice that an entire regiment died and I kinda want some soldiers back? Also they would know the terrain... DAMN!"
He slaps a Xenos with a swift backhand across his face.
"That's for not speaking my language, you stupid git."
He turns back to Goldmouth and asks with laid-back voice
"Do you think there are any more xenos lurking around here? Some still managed to run away... Anyway, gotta back making a bridgehead for the crusade. Would appreciate it when you guard us lowborns while we're doing the job."

Expand camp, do some secure stores and latrines.
..And a pen for the new xenos slaves.

[Azthor]

Investigate the food's disappearance.

[Ghazkull]

Azthor

of course you have already brought spies all into the army to counter enemy spies and as such you get a +1 bonus on investigations.

[1+1] but even with these you dont turn up much. It appears not only food vanished but also weaponry and armour from your men. But while the Food reappears you soon find a whole regiment of Regulars lacking their Imperial Weaponry.

Delvos

Next to the Quick-Concrete Main building (which in the meantime was expanded with electricity and flushing toilets as well as showers) your man ad their own latrines. Nothing mroe than a hole in the ground in which to...you know the deal. And erect a "pen" for the Xeno Prisoners.

This gains you no bonuses but the other Regiments are largerly grateful for your hard work. With exemption to the Sol's Sons who have taken residence in their own formidable barracks.

[adwarf]

Trent quickly went wide-eyed as he saw the feet, without much though he began talking, hopefully one of them would understand him,

"Peace, peace I mean no harm to you and your kind!"

When he finished he repeated it again in what he'd learn of the Xeno language near Novan Land, hadn't been much as he'd avoided them when he could, but he had learned enough to trade with those who wouldn't try to kill him on sight.

[Dragor23]

Send scouts in the woods if any xenos are still nearby. Or even a camp! Just a few persons, the best at stealth, with no heavy gear.

[Azthor]

Investigate the weaponry's disappearance and have spies placed near the armories and warehouses.

[Ghazkull]

Trent

[6]The Xenos look at you for a moment. Then a strange sound erupts from them. After a moment you recognize it as laughter.

"Smoothskin crazy!"

_____________________

Azthor

[3+1] After a while it turns out the Regulars have given away their weapons...for food.

_____________________

Delvos

[5,Autofail]You send scouts into the forest but your men return empty-handed. The Xenos are just too damn good at hiding in the woods.
