*in the outskirts of Kirkwall* Austin: Hmm...it seems the enemy are retreating to val foret.... Guard: Should we pursue? Austin: No, thats to direct of an aproach, they obviously have a plan...maybe they are planning an ambush of sorts... guard: Whats the plan for now? Austin: Take the city, or whats left of it, we need the land not the city, our nation is prospering enough, it can afford to make a new city, but we need to land to spread our influence in this empire and this continent...first we shall take the surrounding cities of Val Foren, like the Dragons den, nuetralizing the chance of us being surrounded, go, send the men into the city, and claim these lands guards: yes sir! *the guards start marching to the city*

OOC: I have this to say Dragons Peak is on the west side of the Mountains that seperate Kirkwall from the west and Val Foret guards a road that that has cliffs to the south and dense forest to the north and the Frostback mountains are home to dragons and the southern forests are filled with werewolves, but mostly in the area surounded by Silver Knight Forts.

OOC: ok so how can i capture Dragons Peak and Ostaggar BEFORE we attack val foren so you dont attack me?
*in the ruins of kirkwall* Austin: They really hate us dont they? Guard: Seems so, what are your orders for our assualt north? Austin: As it seems it is to difficult to transport OUR army around, we should release our trained (trained to kill all of our enemys) orcs into the countryside. Guard: yes sir. *the guard makes others lift the cages and starts walking to a safe distance away from the town* (P.S theres only around 10 troops so its really hard to detect them)

OOC@Austin: I don't know the "safest" way for you to capture Dragons Peak, I can only think of three ways to reach Dragons Peak that would bypass Val Foret, but each will cause high loses to your army.
Path 1: Use the mountain passes, but this will cause alot of your men to freeze too death and the passes will make calvery almost useless and it will be tough to get wagons and seige weapons across the mountians, and not to mettion the dragons and goblens that come from their lairs, and by the time your army get to Dragons Peak it would of lost many troops before it gets there, and once you get there you will have to lay seige with a fewer amount of troops than Ostagar and may have to cut down trees to build rams. But you will only be able to attack three sides of Dragons Peak because the fourth side leads to the Dwarven city of Orzammar.
Path 2: March though the dwarven tunnels, called "Deep Roads" under the Frostback Mountains and head for Orzammar but you will be attacked by the Goblin hoard that is tens of thousands strong and you risk getting attacked by a few dragons. Your calvery in the Deep Roads will only be able to attack from the front so your men will not be as moble and mobility is the strenght of calvery. And there are several Dwarven outposts near Orzammar. You will lose many soldiers before you reach Orzammar and once you reach the gate of Orzammar it will take a long time (even with magic) to breach the gate and the walls are the very stone that surronds Orzammar, and the only ways to get into Orzammar is through the gate that leads to the suface (Dragons Peak) and the gate that leads to the Deep Roads. And one of the best weapons the Dwarves of Orzammar use are living seige weapons called "Golems" and are made out of stone and are able to kill many troops before they are destoryed.
Path 3: March into the forest but that is in some cases more dangerous than the other ways since you will have to fight werewolves and people who are bitten will become a werewolves some time later. Then there are the elves that like to ambush the enemy from the trees and then there are the Silver Knights who are some of the most skilled fighters in Seattile. And the dense forest will make your calvery useless. But if your army makes it out of the forest alive you could bypass Val Foret and attack Dragons Peak but you again risk getting surrounded by troops from the other cities.
Or you could just attack Val Foret dirctly and not go to the dangerous areas of Seattile that make your calvery useless and you can attack Val Foret at full strenght. But you will risk getting attacked by the other cities. Here is something about attacking cities "...And the worst policy is to attack cities. Attack cities only when there is no alternative... The General, unable to control his impatience, will order his troops to swarm up the wall like ants, with the result that one-third of them will be killed without taking the city. Such is the calamity of attacking cities." -Sun Tzu, Art of War
IC: Val Foret Count Stephen II and the people of Kirkwall arrive at Val Foret and prepare for the comeing onslaught with everyone is given a weapon weather it be a sling, a pitchfork, or a simple wooden staff. And the blacksmiths of Val Foret and Kirkwall work together to make weapons and metal armor while the Tanners make leather armor, and the fecthers make longbows and arrows for the archers. Everyone is given a task, the Lumberjacks cut down trees to be used to strenghten the gates and to be put on the walls and rolled off wooden platforms and set alight by fire to burn the enemy and ditchs dug around Val foret and filled with pitch (a oil like substance, that is flamable) and around the walls of Val Foret more ditchs are dug and wooden stakes are put in them and coverd by grass to hide them from the enemy and the enemy will fall into the holes and will be impaled by the stakes. Mangonels (a form of catapults, that launch many rocks), trebuchets (launch large boulders), ready to fire at the enemy, The mangonels are put atop the large towers of Val Foret to rain death upon the enemy. The defenders of Val Foret number 30,000, a force made of soldiers and mitia from several cities. Val Foret with two layers of stone walls and towers covered with longbowmen and crossbowmen is ready to fight to the death.

OOC@Sarah: Here is some of the important things that have happen since you been away. Most of wich involbe me. -The Templar Grand Master leads a attack on Neo Nibu and fails, in a two to one battle with Austin helping Neo. -King Cailan of Seattile dies and this starts a civil war in Seattile (on my factbook there is a map of the civil war and the key leaders). -Austin has an army of about 120,000 (and with the help of a small group of Kahjit) invades and takes several cities in southern Seattile, while Canti attacks northen Seattile with a group of powerful mages, and with an army of 400,000. -Due to multiuple armies attacking, the Seattile civil war may end soon.
There are some events that I might of missed. But these are the really important ones

@ Sarah: Good to see you back! I've been rather inactive too, so nothing really happened with me. Except that I'm introducing the Orcs from Warcraft into my nation 'Nyway,I cannot wait any longer for a post from Canti. I'm pulling through with it
IC: Khuzdul A bright flash of lightning surrounded King Theomer. It crackled as the King's body jolted from the electricity. The Dwarves and Humans were shocked, and drew their weapons at the three Orcs present. Orgrim, the Warchief of the Orcs, turned to face them. "Wait," he exclaimed in a commanding tone, and pointed at Theomer's body. His paleness was almost gone, and it appeared that he was slowly awakening. "The purge worked," Orgrim continued. "Your King will be himself again shortly."
Several minutes later...
"The Vampyriad? And these Orcs came and purged the affliction from my body? This is an unnatural coincidence," Theomer commented, sitting down on a chair. "Exactly!" Dwarven Prince Durin interjected, before turning to Orgrim. "Why? How?" "It was revealed to me in a vision," Orgrim replied, in a much more calmer tone than the Dwarf. "But I will not lie. I came here with a request, and no minor one either." "Speak," Theomer replied. "Me and my people, the Durotan, we come from far. We have traveled through the mountains for what seems like an eternity. We seek a place to finally settle down. If we would be allowed to settle here, we will be eternally grateful. "We have been informed that your people and the Dwarves here live with a time-honored friendship and alliance. We believe the Durotan could contribute greatly," Kazil, one of the two Orc Farseers, added. "We would be honored if we could join," Orgrim replied. "You ask for so much, yet I cannot forget the service you have given me," Theomer said, evidently burrowed in thought. "I can grant you the lands beyond the springs of the river Gundabad, whose people have always been few in number and nomadic, but this is still too much to ask. I grant you stay here however, until a suitable trade-off is found. Now," he turned to Durin, "where is the Seeing Stone, have I missed anything?" Durin shot him a quick look of I-don't-know-I-had-other-things-to-do, and quietly motioned two of the Dwarves with him to bring it. Once the Stone was brought in, Theomer began to concentrate with the Stone in his hands. Durin and Orgrim were also looking at the Stone. As the Stone brightened, it flashed between several locations: the new secret supply entrance at the Horngard, discontent in the Chaos Dwarven ranks near the Kardas border, the settlements of the Durotan in Eorlingath, but then it shifted to two unknown locations, both of them under attack by the same, dark, cloaked beings. Said figures drew small thin objects from within their cloaks, and used it as a conduit for brightly colored lightning bolts. "Wait, I can recognize the dress of those under attack by those figures- Seattilans! They are under attack!" Theomer exclaimed. "Then we can help," Orgrim resolutely said, to Theomer and Durin's surprise. "The Durotan are willing to take this task to prove our worth to Kardas and Eorlingath." "Your Majesty, our forces are still pinned by the Chaos Dwarfs. Perhaps this is the only option," one of the human attendees spoke. "But-" Durin protested, before Theomer cut him off. "Perhaps indeed so. Without the Seatillans, we may have never beat back the Vampyriad. Very well, Durotan, if you wish to prove yourself to the Dwarves of Kardas and the Horse-Lords of Eorlingath, I command you to help our Seatillan friends from this dire threat. Raise an army, and rendezvous with the Seatillans and King Thror at Theodras. Then, set forward to Seatille."
Orgrim bowed his head in respect. "I will. Now I shall leave to personally lead the Durotan to this task. Far Seer Garad shall remain here for contact. Far Seer Kazil shall leave with me and manage Durotar in my absence."

Theodras It had been several days since Orgrim had left the Lonely Mountain. Kazil had left back to Durotar to lead in Orgrim's absence. For his part, the Warchief had met with his generals, and now his army was before the gates of Theodras. "Open in the name of King Theomer! I bring news," Orgrim bellowed. Though the defenders seemed to be confused at this new form of life (for them) in front of the gates, they opened them so that the Warchief rode in. King Thror and the Seatillan representative soon arrived. Orgrim spoke. "I have met with Theomer King in the hope of joining your nation, and found him deathly ill. Fear not, the spirits have cured him. But that's not the real tale I bring." He turned to the Seatillans. "Dark sorcerors have attacked your nation, and to prove our worth to the Eodred, we will ride to help them. If you so wish to aid us, Theomer King bade me that you join." Thror spat. "Orcs!" Orgrim tried to keep his composure. "We are not Orcs. We are better then that. We are Durotan. What do you seek, Dwarf? You wish to aid us." "You forget our fallen kin still block the entrance to our kingdom. We cannot move, even if we wished. Let me make it clear to you, 'Durotan', why you do this is beyond me, but I am sure no good can come of it. We will allow, with great reluctancy, your people in our kingdom if Theomer so wishes, but we know better." His eyes narrowed. "Know that you will be watched." Orgrim grunted defiantly, and turned to the Seatillans for an answer.

Theodras Teyrn Brice Cousland is in shock to here that Seattile is under attack and that an orc of all things has offered asstisance. "These are strange times when those that I thought were my enemies are really my allies. Orgrim, I Teyrn Cousland of Highever accpet your aid."
Somewhere Deep within the Frostback Mountains a human in jet black armor meets with Azog, Goblin Chief of the largest and most powerful of the goblin tribes in Seattile, in an ancient temple with a giant statue of a black dragon in the center. "What is it Ragnar? Why you come when the master clearly said to gather an army?" "I wanted to tell the master that our plans may have to change for the kingdom of Seattile is under attack by dark sorcerers and the Republic of Austin Setzer." Before Chief Azog could respond a deep evil sounding voice comes from the dragon statue "I already know this and it fits my plans but I have a new mission for you my faithful servents... gather 1000 souls to be sacrificed so that I may rule this pitiful kingdom when the time comes. Azog than speaks "I can gather 1000 souls within the week." "Good and Ragnar use the powers I gave you those many years ago and cause mayham and disctract the Dragon slayers and Templars of Dragon's Peak." "Very well my master." Ragnar than leaves and using the ancient magic given to him by the Dragon turns into a red dragon and flys through a huge tunnel leading to the surface. "Master I know Ragnar has served you for many years but we shoudn't trust a human especially one whose a descendant of the tribe of Seattilan humans that killed most of my people thousands of years ago and caused us to live in these mountains and not to mention he is a direct descendant of the human who traped you in that statue!" "Enough! He has served me well and he dosen't know it but the powers I gave him will cause him to die if he were to kill me!" "Very well master, I will go and gather the sacrifices." Azog than leaves and goes about gathering 1000 of his tribe.
Dennerim Magi Tower The mages seeing that their ruse has failed they launch all their spells at Voldemort.
Templar headquarters The remaining Templars, with Lyrim in their backpacks to protect themselves from magic, attack the Deatheaters and Volemort
Rebel Seattilan fort Martin looks at the message and tears it in two.
