Rage of youth

[Meia]

((ookaaay..I'm just gonna throw something in here;;))

With neither Yun nor Tong in sight, Ding Yi and her group members found themselves sorely lacking intel and leadership. She peered nervously out of a window, watching a few remaining townsmen scurrying to the fend against the raid with whatever weapon they had. When they were gone, the street fell quiet and she moved away from the window.

Noticing that no one had voiced any opinion, she plucked up the courage to speak. "Um, I think joining the defence might attract the attention of the local magistrate and possibly more raiders on us. However, I also do not want us to do nothing in the face of the raid." She paused for thought, "..Perhaps sending a partial force..Some of us have recruited new people from town, I believe? This is a chance for them to prove their capabilities. It will probably also be good to have some of us join the fight and gain the trust of the townsfolk..hence I suggest whoever employed them lead their charges."

((OOC:
My suggestion is Arkain and LDW lead their mercs against the raid. Bain_nick's recruits may join up with them.
Bain_nick, graven and myself steer clear from the raid and try to find Yun, Tong or anything else that might be useful.
Phailak, is the raid going to be run like a battle, or by RP? My assumption is RP.))

OOC: RP if you do nothing, battle if you side with either party

[Arkain Hibiki]

Tianshi listend to what Yi was saying, he scratched thoughtfully at his chin for a moment

Tie Yi Tianshi "I've got some troops that I could call in to help with the defense of the city. Not many, mind, but experienced troops. Still, number's are gonna be tight. If any of you managed to get some other forces, we could combine with the town guard and fight this raid off. Would be a good boost of support for us, and we could likely convince any raiders we capture they would be better off working for us. If we're gonna do this, then we need to move fast. Any idea who the captain of this town's militia is? Gonna need to have some words with him."

[bain_nick]

(Follow Meia's plans for now)

"Thank you sirs, I will take you both up on the offer, as well as, the local hero. I feel that a hero may be just what we may require later on, for our plans," Lei said, a wink directed at the two nobles that a headstrong man could be an asset at times.

"Yun here is handling the paperworks and such, I am lead to believe, so if you have any question on the nature of our mission. Oh, any idea who the captain of this town's militia is? We're gonna need to have some words with him, or her."

[Li Dao Wen]

Raiders galore!

In a quick turn for the adverse, the huge warrior's interest level, fully bored by the lack of action with his task, was now quite piqued by the situation erupting outside. All the mayhem surrounding him made his head spin, his blood boil, and his excitement spill over. Grabbing his halberd, he came up to Tian Yi and Ding Yi, his face contorted with his raging desire for battle. "I have procured the services of some mercenaries, and I suspect they are already outside fighting. This has suddenly turned quite interesting, no?"

He then turned towards the door, growling for the others to follow him. "Come! The battle awaits!"

Without looking back, the Black Ogre charged towards the melee, brandishing his halberd with wicked glee.

[Phailak]

OK folks, here are the logistics of the skirmish.

The raiders:

Melee
- (EX!) Qiang Hun;86-72-61-79-52/Haste II, Inspire II, Raid I, Smith I, Spy I
- Fu Ro;63-92-68-71-80/Challenge II, Doctor I, Entrench II, Instructor I, Qiangshu II, Spy I
- Re Fiao;76-81-38-73-76/Raid II, Inspire II, Faze I, Yueshu II
- Qianglu A;62-76-60-48-69/Raid I, Entangle I, Envelop I, Haste I, Scribe I, Sortie I, Volley I

Soldiers: 1111 (70) 1000 Spears, 1000 Leather, 500 horses

- Gaiduan Lue;73-32-87-70-61/Aid II, Decoy I, Delay I, Diplomat I, Rupture I, Maraud I, Wall I, Poison II

- Gong Qiang;48-70-74-44-68/Confuse II, Haste I, Instructor I, Intimidate II, Rally I, Scout II

Soldiers: 586 (70) 586 Bows

Ok I need a formatted post for the defenders. Decide amongst yourselves how you want this done (whoever does it first or should it be the CiC or whatever), here is what you have:

234 (90) town guards with 234 halberds
Town Captain (he does NOT have to be CiC though he starts the battle thinking he is ) => - (EX!) Dian Re;73-76-67-74-78/Aid II, Diplomat II, Gongshu I

LDW's mercs at 212 (60) with 100 spears, 70 bows

AH's mercs 75 (98) with 75 horses, 75 javelins

NPCs:

Fiao Zhang;59-56-73-63-74/Entrench II, Maraud II, Public Planner I, Volley I
Sun Chi;68-31-87-59-46/Confuse II, Decoy II, Jeer II, Scribe II
Tai Zui; 49-65-65-57-55/Delay II, Scout I, Cover I, Military Administrator I, Haste I

So, I need a defensive post, try to keep the formats with the ; and / so it's easy to fit in the tool Then tactics from each of you for the battle and if one of you wants to send in some backup tactics in case a player doesn't. For the NPCs, I do those but you are welcome to advise me on them here or via PM

Good luck

[Phailak]

If no one steps up by tomorrow 11am I'll run the battle as I see fit

[Phailak]

As the raiders pour into the town from all sides, the defenders start to lure them into the center of the town where they have done their best to make an adequate stand. Outnumbered more than three to one, Xun Jiang decided he would show his allies that numbers have no effect on the results of war. Screaming a challenge to Re Fiao, a scarred man with half a tongue, Jiang was instead met by the foul mouthed Fu Ro.

"So they decided to dress up one of their devil bastard deformed sons with some shiny armor and weapons, come here boy so I can teach you NOT to stand out in a crowd."

Deathmatch Duel Xian Long Rui zi Xun Jiang;60-115*-32-71*-53/Challenge II, Instructor II, Intimidate, Jianshu, Qiangshu, Yueshu III vs Fu Ro;63-92-68-71-80/Challenge II, Doctor I, Entrench II, Instructor I, Qiangshu II, Spy I

Tactics to me ASAP

[Phailak]

Fu Ro was no match for the giant before him that simply cut into him with deadly efficiency. However, Jiang's overconfidence opened up a gap that allowed the courageous Ro to flee and he took it using his faster steed to get away. +10 Morale defenders, -5 morale raiders. Battle will be up shortly

Despite the roars from the defenders as they saw their opponent flee, things quickly got ugly. Without any true wall or barricade to rally to, the men of the town were quickly dispatched. In the final moments of the battle, the raiders were even casual about their attack, knowing full well victory was theirs. On the final charge, his supplies quickly disintegrating, Tie Yi Tianshi was left standing with a mere thirteen men around him. The men shooting arrows from the roofs and within hidden conclaves remained intact but the first line of defense was gone, almost as many officers as actual soldiers remaining.

Tianshi turned to look at Jiang, blood and gore covering his armor. As the raiders prepared what they thought would be one more assault, they aimed all their efforts at Jiang and what was left of Tianshi's pathetic battle array.

That's when they heard the hooves charging through the east side. Leading them was a mere boy, at the head of one thousand heavily armed cavalry...

Raiders win engagement 1 but reinforcements have arrived, need a new battle lineup with the addition of 1000 (100) 1000 Horses, 1000 Leather, 1000 Spears, 1000 Javelins. They can go in either layer. Make sure to adjust morale AND supplies (use same formula as adjusting morale for supplies when you consider the 1000 have 100% supplies). What is left over is at the end of the results. I expect a new line up within 48 hours. You can include your duel tactics if you wish it run at the same time...
