Retech

"Hmmm, how much do you require? Also, I'll throw in another coin if I can get some news about the going-ons in these parts."

Isabel heads to the bar area and sits down on an isolated stool. Then she whispered to the bar tender, "what can I get for a few bottles of fine rum? Maybe some lodgings, if this is also an inn?"

(True, that might not work out that well.) Isabel heads to find the nearest tavern.

OOC: Woohoo, win by seduction! Isabel wanders around to find a training place for sword combat, or a tavern of some sort.

"I am not from Chillwind, but exotic women are always better, no?" she says furtively. Isabel places her hand on the guard's hand and slowly lowers his weapon. "Can you please let me through?"

"It is not very polite to ask a respectable lady to reveal herself," says Isabel sternly. "If you insist, you can have a quick look." With that she pulls her robe back to reveal her wrist.

Jen scrambles towards the large city, but she doesn't run too fast, so that she doesn't seem suspicious or die from heat stroke.

Jen stows the various items in her billowing robe, which conceal most of her body, before trotting along in search of a settlement, or maybe some big desert animals.

Isabel looks all ways to make sure there isn't a soul in sight, before looting the crates. Then she checks the merchant's body for any valuables, and examines the merchant's clothes.

Isabel dances through the desert towards those darned vultures.

Isabel tries to stand up, before gazing out into the distance. As an elf, completely not used to such heat, she tries to find an oasis or a town to rest in.

Let's start! :D

-Notes the three people currently on who play this game-

The octopus is adorable. :unsure:

That's the great thing about having a sword made out of leaves. Who cares about strength when you can just whip it around like it's a piece of ribbon and slice your opponent to bits? Oh Ross, is it just me or have you gained more perspective on roleplays after being dungeoneering mod for a while. I feel like I know how to not make the moderator mad. :D

Oh Icu, what is your interpretation of an elf? (Like what bonuses and penalties compared to humans)

Is he a good sword fighter too?

Well I'm a super agile elf with a super light blade, which no one knows about. :P The great thing is my sword is made out of leaves, so if I drew blades with him, the electricity wouldn't conduct. :D

I'm saying that people haven't exactly been that prepared with their defences, and I don't want to penalize people who are gone for a night with three parts of a wave of Mongols when they return. :D

For the heck of it, I will also write a backstory for her sword. Name: Luft-Teiler, Blatt geschmiedet Backstory: A weapon given only to the wisest of the swordscraft upon promotion to the title of Swordsmistress. Unlike male versions of the weapon which are made of wood, the female version is made of magical leaves. It looks like metal to the naked eye, but it has very small veins if you look carefully, like a leaf. First an appropriate magical tree is found, then it is asked for its leaves/root. Then the leaves are skillfully woven using only the power of wind, into the general shape of a sword. Then it is attached to a rope and spun around thousands of times until its edges are sharp and can retain their shape. Thus it is aerodynamically as perfect as a sword can be. However, the magic is exhausted in the creation of the leaf-metal, so it is simply an extremely light and hard two-handed sword, specifically designed for a female elven swordsmistress. Isabel lived with the Germanic elves, the highest of all the elves. That's why the blade's name is in German. :D

Well Poland is nice and faithful too. :P Ja Nex, but did you PM your plans? I need all the details in the PM, or else I have a habit of completely missing things. For example, if I have no numbers, then they will not see action. If I have no tactics because they are all on the thread, your troops may act like imbeciles if your general is not the brightest. Also, I will be only doing the Italian fight tonight, because I feel that since the Mongols technically have no budget, you would be overwhelmed if I had too many battle reports. Soooo, here we go. Italian invasion of Italian States The Imperialist North Italians crossed the 5th parallel into the Republican Italian States, with a relatively large army, led by the lords of the Seat of seven. Opposing them was the great General, Domingo Caesario. In addition to the professional army, the Republic had raised additional militia from the various city states. The battle began on the foothills of some Italian mountains which I forgot the name of. The Republicans had set up a powerful defensive position on two hills, flanked by mighty rivers. The Imperialists began to move up the hill, the first row of militiamen with huge shields with spikes. The Imperialist army was arranged as three triangles adjacent to each other. General Domingo ordered his soldiers to roll huge burning logs down the hill, disrupting the imperialist's formation. Then he sent two thousand men at arms charging down the hill in between the triangles, attempting to break them apart. The manuever was successful, especially after they were already disrupted, leaving wide gaps. This allowed the two thousand heavy horse archers of the republicans to sneak into the gaps, firing close range missles at the unsuspecting Imperialists. Then four thousand merchant calvery arrived on the battle scene, who struck from the side. Unfortunately for the imperialists, the rows of militiamen behind the first were unarmed, and expected to pick up the shield of their fallen comrades. The problem was that their fallen comrades were those behind them, without weapons. The two thousand light calvery of the imperialist struck the merchant calvery, but the merchants had better arms and drove them back. Finally they ravaged the inflexible Imperialist position, tossing them back. Then the remainder of the Republican infantry surged forward. Casualties: 14000 Militiamen 6000 Longbowmen 1700 Light Calvery (For Imperialists) Republican Italy 3300 Merchant Calvery 1500 Heavy Horse Archers 1800 Men at Arms 1300 Elite Pikemen 4500 Italian Militia Result: Italian Victory!

Well after the Lord of the Rings movie, no one wants to be a bumbling dwarf. And when we played that campaign with Archi on RPtools, I was so annoyed because I was too slow. :(

Name: Isabel Nimbl'f Weapon: Elven two-handed swords (Light as a feather, yet beautiful and hard. Has a sheath made out of woven leaves, and the pommel can be covered by a separate woven leaf attachment, to disguise its beauty) Roleplaying element: The two handed sword with pommel Race: Elf Backstory: The most skilled swordswoman in her Elven home by the edge of the world, she set sail at a young age because of civil war within the elven tribes. After her ship was struck by a sudden storm, she hitched a ride with a passing whale, who delivered her safely to shore. However, her weapons finesse has suffered after her long journey, but her natural elfen dexterity and her light sword certainly can't hurt. Despite her small size, she is a real heavyweight when it comes to alcohol consumption, and can drink as well as many male elves, which is much more than most non-alcoholic humans. Also, her ears were less pointy than most of her kin, so she just looks like a rather pointy-eared human (rather than an elf). An elf would have no trouble recognizing though.

Oh, duhhhhh. I'm changing my character anyways though.

I'm fine with it. Roleplaying is fun from new perspectives. :P
