The Taking Of The Beard

[Divinus 179]

Opposing Faction: Divinus and friends.

Defending Faction: Alrasian Army?

Name of the battle: The taking of The Beard

Location: Alras, on Syrio's Beard

Time, (at least 5 days warning): Tuesday the 12 at 4 pm.

Terms: I'm hoping for this to be a surprise capture, where Divinus and friends show up, and attempt to claim King Syrio's Beard. We gain control of it after holding ground on the ship for five minutes, then we sail away where as we find opposition, such as the Arlas Army if there still is any around... Who might try and stop us.

Rewards: Divinus moves King Syrio's Beard to his desired location.

RP REASONING:

(( This is all in closed doors, so as for no one to know of it. ))

* Divinus sits at his desk in Arethor where he begins to write on a blank piece of paper *

"Today I came back from the dead city of Alras, picking the remaining scraps of my house out. When I was walking out of the Ol' Pony Plaza, I decided to take a look at the old keep where Syrio once lived. When I had gotten up there, I looked into the Harbor where I noticed quiet a magnificent, and saddening sight, King Syrio's Beard the ship. I looked down at the ship that once brought terror to the lands, and I thought, 'Why should a lively boat reside in such a dead sea?'. When I had came back here today in Arethor, I sat and contemplated for many hours that of which should be done to such a beast of a ship. It would be quiet the atrocity to let a ship sit without a function, no?"

* Puts his quill down for a moment as he takes a drink of Ale, he then continues to write *

"Yes, it would be myself to go there, and bring life to what is a magnificent being as it was. Perhaps I could bring it to life, and have it function as it once did, as a war vessel..Yes."

* Slides the blank piece of paper over to where a stack of other papers lay, he takes a fresh piece of paper out, and begins to write names of those he shall bring with him when he comes to claim Syrio's Beard. *

(( To put it in more simple terms, Divinus wants to capture Syrio's Beard as he sees Alras as a dead nation, and wants to use a great boat such as Syrio's Beard again for combat and for things of his desire. ))

I have to ask a few questions about the logic and sanctity of your maneuver. Firstly, I realize this is something you may wish to hide to avoid meta gaming; send a PM to Mog and I if you wish; how many are you attacking with? The Beard is a ship requiring 'a certain amount' to even man properly. Also, RPly, does your character know how to man warships? All in all, it is the same logic is using siege weapons, such a ship as this nearly 'Man'o'War' has to take possible expertise I would believe.

Bring it.

[Skippy 2466]

Bring it.

[Space 2335]

Bring it.

That's such a contradiction to most warclaims nowadays... I salute you.

[Samson Option 9652]

Yes, so Aislin seems allowing, but I feel we should make this realistic rather than three-manning a Man O' War :P

[Ursolon 197]

Now I know why you wanted a harbor... ;)

[El Ricktador 1394]

You're going to attack and find out that Alras has about 40 new recruits. I'm calling it now! Since things like that always seems to happen, lol ^_^

But hmmm...I think Rei counts as a friend amirite? =D

No, but I am getting someone that does have expierence to man a ship, and I am assembling a rather large group of people to help me with this.

What happens if enough of you die so that you don't have enough crew members to sail the ship effectively?

Well, then I guess we lose.

[Samson Option 9652]

Fair enough, Mogroka approves the War Claims, I can't do acceptance. I just wanted to clarify and ensure this is realistic. Good Luck :D

[Divinus 179]

Bring it.
