To Beach The Whale

[Samson Option 9652]

RolePlay Reasoning

Varin Ulfgar makes his way, his lengthy leather jerkin restraining his chest from allowing such long sighs; his chain-mail ringing in the air and raising alert the Khagan of the Subudai. Brushing aside the many vines slinking over the entrance of Sauros's yurt, he steps in with an air of confidence, his request sitting on the edges of his lips wishing to be told. His thickening beard swaying slightly as he sits forcefully onto the ground, Sauros lifts his head slowly and smiles broadly at the sight of his first Syrmatae. Addressing him, Sauros quickly acquires the hastiness in which Varin moves and speaks; wondering what is to be said about such as rash entrance while the smokes of many incense fill the yurt.

Varin looks with a solid visage, his teeth clenched as he bitterly requests what has been on his mind. War, Sauros looks with a raised brow, curious to know with whom, Skravia; with that Sauros smirks thinly and asks why such a harsh demand. Varin looks uneasy, confused to what Sauros means, then Sauros lifts his head fully erect and states that he has known Seventian Nobles to find shelter there and the many arrests and insults had against other Ulfgars. With that, Varin embraces Sauros's hand and shares the many details of what he has planned. Extending his hand as he walks out of the yurt towards the Ulfgar Kotan Circle; Sauros gasps as he sees arrayed in the plains a field of finely armored Ulfgars.

((Is this going to be a surprise raid? I think that would be worth clarifying since it wouldn't make sense if we were to know it was coming anyway. It would just serve the purpose of ensuring that everyone (mainly on my end aka Skravia) knows that no one should be all of sudden fully armored coincidentally on the same day of a attack.

Also its worth noting that ever since the bandit problems, most of Skravia, save for young children and some women, are armed in some way shape or form. Although not everyone is very deft with a weapon, odds are the majority of the people you would encounter are going to fight back. This whole "arming oneself" idea has been in common use in Skravia for about a month ever since the bandit rate skyrocketed. (and more so because of the Monster problem since the guards are not doing their jobs. :P)

So the "civilians" aren't just pulling weapons out of their rear ends since most are armed out of "safety" or intimidation anyway. Again, I just don't want anyone being surprised to the fact that quite a-lot of people are armed since they have been continually carrying weaponry and more so after this. Maybe even the guards will get off their sorry behinds and do their jobs XD

Otherwise, I am excited for this (and glad) that this is going to be happening. So I approve!

Plus its Gaius, so odds are its going to be great...and eventually include a poll of sorts. :D))

((Yes is it is a suprise attack. You have no idea that this is coming. And what you are saying I understand, having seen most of it myself. But just no having random iron and diamond armored men suddenly patrolling the streets of Skravia when its a common known fact that Skravia's military/guards/defense is **** going through some problems. We've all seen your king be kidnapped countless times and the amount of times you've been attacked by bandits is uncanny. So yes, we can understand your average civilian having a weapon here and there for self defense, but armored men and a proper defense against this strike? No.))

(( i don't get kidnapped that much... It was only 4 times... And I survived 3 out of 4 of those times ))

(( i don't get kidnapped that much... It was only 4 times... And I survived 3 out of 4 of those times ))

((lol four times of being kidnapped...for a KING thats a lot. A king is supposed to be the most defended man in the kingdom. IF the most defended man in the kingdom has his defenses breached so often then there is no way the kingdom can muster a force to defend against such a horde of "barbaric" warriors.))

[Elrohir Sil'Siol 7]

(( In fairness, he wasn't king for all of those kidnappings. So will this all be RP? ))

[Samson Option 9652]

I have always kept the belief that citizenry, those earnestly of Skravia deserve to be there and 'caught with their pants around their ankles' of sort :lol: I have no problem with the Citizenry pooling their goods together and trying to armor up as the pillage strikes, but I mean no metagaming as in, I don't want to see Normandorian Elves for example shacking up in Skravia waiting for a fight :lol:

*slaps Gaius* "LEAVE SKARAVIA ALOOOOOONE!"

The only way you'd get there is from the sea... Right? We'd be able to rally the guards and such if so, because we could see you coming from miles out.

EDIT: Isn't that less then 4 days from the time you made the warclaim, also? Or am I bad at math?

[lemontide331 1615]

((Finally ;), this should be fun ))

((i would not and wont even be able to do anything to this but,

After a chat with evark in skravia chuckaboo/rocco joined the chat. If i remeber right he talked about something like "happy end of skravia" and we should sell/give skravia when we still can, for example to subudai or something...

Well as i said, i wont and wouldnt use that to warn myself or someone, and i wont even be able to be online untill monday :/ ))

((I was asking to buy it for myself and Cailean. And I never said happy end Skravia at all, or nothing like that))

((Edit: Also that was quite a while back))

[Anderssn 1115]

((ah your right, well"if i remember right" and... I think there might have been someone else mention subudai or something.

Anyway, its a shame i wont be able to come :(

Pillage Claims only require a 3 day warning.
