Autumn, during which the nobles fight off chaos monsters invasion and the first artifact is built


So, here am I, the great Pokonic, a royal heraldry expert among these dirty working peasants. Joining those two knights was the worst mistake of my life and the nearest settlement where they could use my skill is now too far away for me to escape this hole.

Luckily, the one in charge, Jamcat was his name, granted me a place to stay in the tavern and a place in the castle, at least until a duke moves there. Seeing I've got no coin he offered me to open Heraldic Manufactory in one of the empty buildings because they needed proper armours and without special insignia, well, they couldn't do it. That's the way Bretonnia rolls.

And the castle itself is growing at a pretty decent rate.

I think that was then when our lumberjack came running and shouting through the whole settlement.

-A chaos beast! A chaos beast!

I had no real experience with the sword, because my father was a rich heraldry expert himself but I couldn't decline the offer to join the fight. I got an old breastplate and an iron pike.

Even though it was the Lloyd who dealt the killing blow I fought well and every other noble believed me I was a brave knight. One chasm spawn meant that there were more of them nearby. All the 6 knights found and entered the chasm leading to the beast's burrow.

While they didn't find more chasm spawns (not couting the one killed by a noble who called himself Deathsword, creepy if you ask me),

we DID hunted down another huge beast. No injuries.



That's when one of the migrant claimed Sirus's forge and created an artifact sword. He could be possessed so we'll keep an eye on him.


Kharne's letter to the ruinous powers:
While the knights were hunting remaining chasm spawns I met Backen the doctor in the castle saying that he is wasting here and should want much more of life. I could easily manipulate him there into chaos but this son of a dog Lloyd had to enter the building and taking doctor to show him the beast they got in the market square. Damn him!


Also, our badass weaponsmith killed a lava troll with his bare hands. Maybe he is possessed after all?


Ahra was pretty boring so far. We need more pilgrims for him to play a bigger role.

That massive cave beast (GCS) would have been a nice source of Venom, shame there is no way of extracting the poison

Down with chaos!

must vanquish more evil.

[Shintaro Fago]

Sooo, you need a living creature to extract the venom? The more you know

[GreatWyrmGold]

I would like a mousillian without any useful skills nicknamed Wyrmsgold the Great. He's coming here to try at a better life, but refuses to share his true name.

Spoiler: For Shintaro Fago only, please! (click to show/hide)

He was born to a noble family, but his mother was tainted with chaos before his birth. Both mother and son were cast into the gutters. While she died when Wyrmsgold was a child, he couldn't content himself with a normal life, knowing he was of noble blood. So now he wants to try and prove his worth by his actions at...whatever this fortress was called.
Changing it. Wyrmsgold is a Nurgle cultist.

I believe so, But I think you can order it from merchants. I've never captured a GCS (or any venomous beasts) to test this , maybe include a custom reaction to take venomous creatures parts to extract venom?

Diary of Kharne,
I have caught word of an excellent sword that would fetch a high price on the markets back "home", but those Brettonian fools would have my family jewels on a silver platter if I touched the thing. The doctor is so close to converting,but I was interupted by meddlesome knights, maybe I can throw the doc a private feast to discuss the matter....
 I hope this filthy pit gets wrecked all ready, I miss the smell of sulfer....

[Ahra]

am i set up as an archer or melee? melee if possible thanks

on another note i need to check this mod out.

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

on another note i need to check this mod out.

Ditto

But I'll wait untill he finds all his bugs that way I can enjoy it fully

[GreatWyrmGold]

Erm...the spoiler...I changed it...or did I?

[Shintaro Fago]

GreatWyrm: mousillian peasants are now a bit bugged (everyone is vomiting blood and having their feet rot) so every sick migrant is killed at the spot. A normal peasant is still a-ok so don't you worry.
Ahra: everyone but peasants are melee and we have no real army but the nobles that stop partying if there's an enemy to kill.

Winter, during which the chaos start sprawling around

A new group of migrants came to Greatcastle. While Jamcat and Lloyd were inspecting the castle with Sirus one strange man approached them. It was the fattest peasant Jamcat's seen with face covered in scars from a serious green pox he must've had in the past.
"Greeting o'noble lords!" he had a squeaky voice "I'm the new cook sent by the duke"
"The duke? Is he going to visit us any soon?" asked Lloyd
"I'm afraid not" replied the cook "as he is very ill from a mysterious disease that got half of the castle."
"Oh... Sirus, show this man his room downstairs and check the other migrants if they are ill. We can't suffer another plague here"

A few days later two accidents happened. Khare the wood burner has fallen while deconstructing a part of the roof of the castle and broken both legs and an arm. Backen, our doctor has said he can fix him with no trouble. What a chivalrous act of his! (Kharne has gained another chaos cultist for his cause)

Ahra the pilgrim appeared to be just as brave going alone into the mines and killing a giant bat which has trapped three workers. No major injuries but a bruised leg.

Lloyd was walking around the rich part of the settlement when suddenly a voice from one of the houses called him. It was Pokonic the Amusing. He was busy working with gems in his new asset - a jeweler's workshop. He insisted that they needed to cover the business part of the castle  and without jeweler there wouldn't be any gem windows in the castle.

During the late winter one strange creature got from the chasm and attacked the peasants. It was killed by the injured Khare and for this act of courage he was granted a bigger house with the cellar.


"Deathsword the young knight" observed Jamcat "spends a little bit too much time being chivalrous and helping Yugo the female cook."
"and I wonder" minor noble asked himself "where the heck is that royal cook? I haven't seen him today"

Wyrmsgold was sitting on a mossy stone in the forest nearby, writing three letters and then tying them to the plagued and bloated rat's legs which then run away each in another direction. The fat man stood up and thought it was going to be an interesting year.

please tell me im one of the suicidal maniacs that live in the unwalled (it looks so anyway) southern enclaves :3

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

These beasts from the deep must be stop, I propose I go on Patrol duty around this cave enterance for 1 month, train for 1 month, take one month off repeat all year.

Shame Lloyd is having trouble finding the Chaos within this stronghold.

[GreatWyrmGold]

From the diary of Wyrmsgold:

This fortress is a rather interesting place. It seems to have mastered design techniques that evade the rest of the empire. Personally, I hope that my superiors will not destroy it. I think it would be in our interest to merely infiltrate the fort's leadership, then rule it from the shadows, to the benifet of all.
I don't think my view is widely shared.

[Teneb]

If possible try to make my character seem somewhat sadistic in the logs. (and, again if possible, do not make any parts of the updates from his point of view.)

[Sirus]

Use my great wall-building powers to enclose the enclave! The noble lords should not have to fear the darkness at night!
