RP:

((this is in the form of a surprize attack apon the city's outlying structures to kidnap civillains and villigers and butcher them for blood to fuel the dark plans of the bloodmages in all... and to also reveal a truth that has not been expected. A reason why the bloodmages haven't been so active. Please don't meta game this attack as it is a surprise attack. We are also not really after wealth such as items but more for the sakes of actual sacking RP.))

*The Dread Knight Curl stands in the darkness overlooking where his master had lead him and his men to. A city of huge preportions to what his master had only called "filth". Wheezing heavily he turns with a silence being broken by the sound of cracking metal. His master... stands but next to him with staff and redrobe to boot.

"Why... *Wheezes* Hereeeeee?" Curl Finally winds out of himself in a pathetic attempt at speach from his cold lifeless body "Why do we... make ourselves... here?"

*The blood mage smiles as he slowly turns, showing a face sowed up and bleeding... Curl could not understand what had happened to his masters of late... ever since they found it... that relic, they have not been the same. Their plans changed... something else stirrs within them far beyond what they had planned before.

Bile comes out of the mouth of the wrecked ruin of a husk, this bloodmage once proud, to say... "Why...? *Chuckles softly...* My servant... our masters require more bloooooo'D for the ritural... His light shall return to us... and light up the innards of those... who, disagree *splutters slightly as more bile slips loose from his mouth* But we first require... their innards for practice."

*The Bloodmage turns once more back to the city, torches light the water front in the darkness to make beauty to the fell deeds that lurks beyond the river. Before once again uttering in a deep voice...*

"The river... it is but a small task to get over. The bridge that looms over it is key to our plans. You must not fail in holding this. Or else we will not have the time needed to enact what we really want." *He turns again to look at the smalled dwellings outside of the city...* "They are a prime target... the villagers in these... holes... shall be what we need. Trinkets and wealth are to be left... for we do not need such... *coughs* vainities."

"What... of the city... guard? *wheezes* They... will surely try to... push over the bridge once the... attack *coughs* begins..." says Curl as his contorted voice breathes question.

"If they try such... kill them all. Do not... fail our master's wishes." says The Bloodmage as he turns back to Curl...

"If your forces fail... I'll be sure to send your head to them... I'm sure they would wish for a trinket such as a pitiful talking helmet... *Ckuckles*"

Curl shudders for a moment as his helmet vibrates with both anger and what could be said to be fear... Finally however he bites down hard apon himself and utters but a single line...

"It will... be done. *Snarles*"

*Curl turns back to the group behind him, other dread knights and Millita men and women gathered over time from the consecutive years of preperation. Looking at each one of them and seeing the same anguish and torment within their faces as was in his. Lythien's halls had grown even darker than what it was now... their time in its' ruinous presence had not treated them well.

Behind this group... was cages, with thrashing beasts within it. Snarling biting monsters driven mad with rage and hate over the years...

It was not until Curl turned back once again that he Shouted in a commanding voice:

"YOU HEARD HIM! YOU SCATTER BRAINED BASTARDS AND WHENCHES. RELEASE THE BEASTS"

To which, can be heard... the sounds of cage doors being opened with the sounds of rusted metal, and the large human like creatures almost as if on que, raced out of the cages knocking down anything that got in their way. They look back at the crowd they had just gone through before turning to see the light of the city at work. Almost as if drawn to it they ran... heading straight... towards... the city.

The attack... had begun.*

((Mog said you can't have surprise attacks, I believe he would know best because this is his place and me and Pok want to do a Pillage surprise but he said it's not allowed so.

[Blundermore 2741]

((Are we not... hmm... I'll have a word with him and see, thanks for telling me that, if so is the case then the terms will be changed and allies may be able to be summoned. It just adds more to the theatrics of it all if there isn't an army just waiting outside...))

[Samson Option 9652]

Blundermore, I can confirm that you are allowed to do surprise attacks, since you are not swapping regions. It is conquest attacks, or the taking of land for your permanent ownership that are not capable of being 'surprise attacks' for the logical reasons that can be listed. Since you are pillaging, it is allowed to be a secret attack.

[Samson Option 9652]

((Mog said you can't have surprise attacks, I believe he would know best because this is his place and me and Pok want to do a Pillage surprise but he said it's not allowed so.

Wait, Pillages are allowed to be surprise, because you are not sieging, you are simply going through and attacking.

[Blundermore 2741]

((I did think this was a little strange seeing how surpirse attacks is a viable stratergy in warfare of both this time frame that we are in and modern time frames. Granted it isn't honourable to do it IC'ly but these guys are arse holes, period. Seeing how they aren't even after wealth or trinkets but the blood of the villagers alone... that is just low really.)

Why do you want to be on the attacking side?

As opposed to the defending side? I'd be happy on either, these events are not about victory, they're about the battle itself. Seeing as this is an event which will be mostly RP battle and dramatic emotes, we need good RP fighters on both sides.

What RP would you bring to this war claim (I'm not looking for PVP skills... I'm looking for RP.)

I've done Golem characters before, which gives me some experience with regards to Dread Knights.

Do you agree that your character is a one off and can't be used after the battle?

I have no issue with that. I've played my share of temporary event characters.

Do you agree to provide good role play to all who take part on the opposite side? How are you going to do such?

As Blundermore said in TeamSpeak the other day, Dread Knights are more about the buildup, and less the actual battle. In the battle itself, its not about the victory. Some of the best RP battles I've had it's been predetermined that I lose.

Do you agree that if you commit an act that is outside of the rules in any way whatsoever that we are not liable for you? (Though in wars certain actions are relaxed, but you are still governed by OOC rules and a few RP rules)

Of course. Why would you be anyway?

Do you agree to follow orders and not go off to do your own thing (which wouldn't make much RP sense)

It's a Dread Knight. I can't imagine one of them doing their own thing.

Why do you deserve to be allowed to do such?

Not sure what you mean by this.

MC name: hosper

Why do you want to be on the attacking side? It will be a completely new experience for me to have this point of view normally I play a caring Cleric sadly Rp has gotten a little dull so this seems like a great time to make a character that is only temporary to spice up LOTC.

What RP would you bring to this war claim (I'm not looking for PVP skills... I'm looking for RP.) I have played a few different charachters one was a slave back in Aegies who had lost hope and became a servant with no thoughts of his own so Dread Knight is not out of my Rp grasp. Other than that I have been Role playing for just over a year know (( not all on lotc)) and have no problem letting my character to lose to let another have a better Rp experience.

Do you agree that your character is a one off and can't be used after the battle? Yes I do agree.

Do you agree to provide good role play to all who take part on the opposite side? How are you going to do such? Honestly it really isn't that hard to make Rp enjoyable for everyone I shall play the character as it is meant to be a thoughtless soldier that simply follows the orders that are given to him. To make it enjoyable for other all that really has to be done is not power game a Dread knight isn't an unstoppable machine it can be killed. Simply being reasonable should make this event fun for all.

Do you agree that if you commit an act that is outside of the rules in any way whatsoever that we are not liable for you? (Though in wars certain actions are relaxed, but you are still governed by OOC rules and a few RP rules) Yes I am not planing on doing something stupid and if I do make a mistake I will be the one paying for it.

Do you agree to follow orders and not go off to do your own thing (which wouldn't make much RP sense)

Well being a dread knight this is elementary live by the orders that are give.

Why do you deserve to be allowed to do such? I am experienced role player who wants to bring some fun Rp for both sides and have a good time my self while engaging in this intriguing event. (Not sure if that is what you are looking fore I can fix if needed. ))

((right after Barry's mind is destroyed by me, how nice, I want to join :P. But I have no idea what kind of characters you want for soldiers, can you tell me some more? You say you want to collect blood, how? by capturing, by cutting their neck into a vial, by taking the dead corpse? If explained I will then do an app for a militia, a sort of a gatherer for the blood would be what I would want.))

[Blundermore 2741]

Basically the way it would work is how you would imagine ransacking any other village without arms to bare... we would just over power them and pull them out into the middle of the street to butcher them like the evil bastards that we are.

It is up to the guard defence to break the ones on the bridge and stop us from doing that. We would just probably use buckets... I can't imagine that we would be too ceremonial about this.))

Anywho, I'm glad the blood mages will do something other than call people "mortal" every two seconds.))
