North Neo Nibu Elf Templar: "We have been seraching for these Maleficars for days now, we need to rest and this heat is killing me. I mean come on! We already lost two guys and all but one of our hounds to the heat already!" Captain Hanssen: "I know, but we must keep moveing, the Maleficars could be useing their blood magic to kill inocent people." Elf Templar: "I guess your right. You know the Dwarf seems to be more quiet then usual," both the Elf and Hanssen look behind them and see the Dwarf Templar talking to the last wolfhound. Dwarf Templar: "...They also say that there is a witch in these deserts, that if anyone who hears her voice are under her spell and drop too their kneels, and are never seen again. Well I tell you, this is one Dwarf that will not be under her spell." Captain Hanssen: "Hey, you don't seem to smell like a brewery as much as you did yesterday, did your ale run out?" Dwarf Templar: "Ya, and you still smell like a dog." Captain Hanssen: "Hey I can't help it if dogs like me so much." Dwarf Templar: "Maybe you should keep your voice down. The cat people could hear you." Captain Hanssen starts to yell at the top of his lungs. "There is no one here! You are just too paranoid!"

OOC: To add one other thing to the discussion, being essentially unstoppable kills the drama. It's much more interesting to sway the tides of combat a little. People can get bored of there being something that keeps on trucking no matter what the others post- because the others can't change the status quo they become uninterested. I think that that's what's kind of happened to the FT RP. However, I didn't really take it as godmodding yet, because I haven't played all of my cards yet. Drylts, for example, is hardly a fortress. Also, a quick retcon ahead. Writing up more on a nation allows you to see how it works, gives you good plot points and something nice to play around with. Teutonic's last IC post is a good example of that. Lastly, about the Witch King, it's already up north. The Eodred are used to chilly weather. It was my 6 Order Warriors that started the snow (though it wasn't really a blizzard). IC: The dot to the left of the words shows where Drylts actually is. Drylts, before sundownAs the defenses are almost completed, the King's scouts return and approach his temporary audience hall. The town is somewhat crowded- the King's army has been replenished to 2000 men under arms. Scouts: "Hail Theomer King!" Theomer: "What tidings do you bring from beyond the river Esgaroth?" Scouts: "It is as if the hand of Morgoth rests on it. As if Yavanna was banished. Worst of all however, it is quiet. Deathly quiet." Theomer: "So I see. If the Vampyriad truly dislike sunlight, we shall take more advantage of it. Go, my loyal Riders. Prepare for the coming assault. I fear it will be as terrible as the previous night." * a bit later* After the Teutonic messenger collapses: Theomer: "Be sure to tend to him. At least we are not alone in our struggle against the unliving. The contribution of Twilit Crusaders is welcome, but the enemy must not know of them yet. They shall form the reserve of our forces." Watchman: "My King, the enemy approaches! They seem to have some type of inhuman beasts with them! *the catapults fire; the levied troops appear to be quite shaken at the sight of their fallen and mutilated comrades*" Elsewhere in DryltsA cloaked figure roams the streets, watching the Eodred as they prepare for battle. Spearmen sit, conversing about the war, their families, almost everything. The figure stops as a battalion captain approaches him. "Hey soldier, got a light?" he asks in Eorlic. The cloaked figure attempts to speak, but the words that come out properly are clearly heavily accented. "What?" the captain replies, before he figures out that all may may not appear as it seems. Just when he finally realizes, the figure stabs him. The event rouses the resting soldiers, and Guardsman and peasant levy alike draw their weapons. The vampire killed scores, until a translucent white beam hits him. Ice encased the vampire's body. Order of Mangai Warrior Talvi sheathed his sword again. "Send word to Theomer King. We have infiltrants in our midst."

OOC: All my units in the factbook now have pictures! (except the Order of Mangai warriors) @ Austin: lol your army's twice as big as my total population IC:
Drylts The Eodred Yeomen use the superior range of their longbows (compared to crossbows) to great effect, yet still many are killed as the the vampires scale the walls. Despite the best efforts of the Order of Mangai, the Death Dealers open the gate and Theomer realizes that the defense removed his greatest strength. However, the Order manages to regroup some of the levied spearmen who prevent the charge from killing too many. Theomer King is not present among the battle in the village, and slowly the defenders are driven back. The fellbeasts in general cause chaos whenever there aren't any ice beams shooting through the air.

Drylts The Eodred are driven back to the rear of the village, when they open their secret gate at the rear and make their hasty escape out of the village, in the company of the waiting Riddermacht. Two Order members pool their powers together to create a spiky ice barrier to help cover the retreat. Once the retreat is covered (about 600 Eodred lie dead by now), a horn sounds, but it is not the shrill horn of the Eodred. Instead it sounds low and thunderous. Theomer, waiting with his bodyguard outside Drylts, looks up to see an assembled force of 3000 Dwarves (and 200 Battle wagons, and some siege weaponry) marching towards the besieged town. King Thor II, clad in heavy armor and brandishing his axe Barazanthual, encrusted with jewels and precious metals (silver included), spoke to his troops. "Dwarves of Kardas! Barbaric vampires mercilessly assault our human allies of Eorlingath. This is an act that cannot stand! Not if the Dwarves have something to say about it! Dwarves, we fight for the freedom of Eorlingath so that the Dwarves may stand another day! Let us show our enemy that nothing stands taller than the might of the Dwarves! "Baruk Khazâd! Khazâd ai-mênu!" His troops return the battlecry: "Baruk Khazâd! Khazâd ai-mênu!"

Somewhere near the Eorlingath border
King Cailan: "Teyrn Loghain, is our forces ready?" Teyrn Loghain: "They are your majesty." King Cailan: "Good, this will be like the battles of old, the king fighting alongside his men, Glorious!" Teyrn Loghain: "I must protest at your idea of fighting on the frontlines." As King Cailan and the Teyrn argue, a Elf scout rides up to them. Elf Scout: "My lords, our scouts spotted a large vampire army to the east, attacking a small village." King Cailan: "Then we should go and help them." Teyrn loghain: "It would take several hours for our army to get there." King Cailan: "Not if we send all of our calvery, to the east." Teyrn Loghain: "Very well your majesty." Teyrn Loghain and King Cailan take the 2,000 calvery, of the combined Templars and Chevaliers, and ride toward Drylts.

The Twilit Crusaders are camped behind a ridge, overlooking Dylts. The Crusaders camp just below the ridge, with no fires, in utter silence, in traditional contemplation before battle. The sentry, lying on his belly atop the ridge, maintaining a keen eye on the events silently rises and hurries down to the Chapter Masters tent. He makes the traditional Teutonic salute-placing the right fist over the heart, and touching his palm to his forehead. “My lord, the Dead have seized the town as expected. Even now they advance to meet the surviving soldiers. It also appears the battle has been joined by dwarves. If my appraisal is correct, lord, now may be a good time to commit ourselves in support. The vampires will be off guard and overbalanced. If they are set upon by the survivors and dwarves now, before they can regroup, they will be off balance. Our number could tip the balance.” The master nods. “An apt analysis, brother. Go to your brothers and pass the word that we shall be ready for battle within the hour. I shall be out presently to lead the prayers to our lord. Go now.” Within half an hour, the knights are glad in their armour, inscribed with devotions to Derrid. On each of their foreheads, drawn in ash and water is a simple pair of scales, the symbol of their deity, as is traditional. After the prayers, they mount their horses in silence, cowls drawn around their heads, longswords at their sides, light crossbows hung from the saddle, and lances wedged firmly in the stirrups. They ride in a wedge over the ridge, and poise to enter the battle at the first sign of weakness. As they wait, the crusaders begin to go through the motions of prayer, repeatedly chanting the blessings of the Judge to those who will be sent to His court, and the promises of fair judgement, and release from unlife.
Austin Setzer
Well met! I have heard reports of your great nation, and more of your diplomatic travels, and I regret only not being able to meet you in person whilst you embarked on your travels., and that you did not find your way to my abode, so that you could be honoured as is right and proper for a leader of your stature, by the glorious Imperium Teutonicum. It is my wish that we enter into some form of diplomatic talks, to bind your republic and our Empire closer together, so that we might usher in a new age of prosperity. I await your reply, and, I hope, good will. Emperor Ferdinand IV

Drylts
The Chevaliers and Templars along with King Cailan and Teyrn Loghian finaly arrive at the battle of Drylts. King Cailan in his gold armor, slowy rides in front of his men alongside Teyrn Loghain. "Men and Evles of Seattile, today we will fight the vampire army and they will fear our Chevaliers, if they didn't know fear before, they will fear today! If any of you should perish today, remember someday we will be there with you at the Maker's side. Now men of the west charge forth!" A horn is heard all across the battlefeild signaling the charge and the Chevaliers charge the vampire forces.
