I would most definitely be interested!

"You should have Pikemen B attack as well--preferably Rogues G. " OOC: just noticed--rogue Pikemen G should only have 3 health. The right number of units are shown on the map, but the listed stats are off.

"All Imperial Pikemen, attack directly North! Same to you, Lion Pikemen D! Crossbowmen A, finish off the Tethusial pickets! Crossbowmen D, move to the hills in the NorthEast!" "Tha Knights are gettin' slaughtered by tha crossbowmen! We have ta keep them out o' range!" "Sir Alexandre, have those Knights move South two hexes. Don't attack the crossbowmen, they will demolish you! Pikemen C can move NorthWest and take the Free Hit." "Wise advice, Luke, Knyghton. What do you need us Heroes for, eh? " Battle Order: Knights C Pikemen C Pikemen B Pikemen D All Imperial Pikemen Crossbowmen B Crossbowmen A

Unless it's in Alexis' posession, I don't think the Zirconia is alive. Sorry, couldn't resist!

OOC: I'll be on and off again today, Doc. Feel free to autoplay my actions to keep the battle rolling; if I don't post in this topic for an hour, assume I'll follow Alexandre's suggestions, or else assume I ensure every enemy is targetted so there are no Free Hits.

"Imperial Pikemen A, attack Rogues B. Crossbowmen A, the Tethusial pickets. Crossbowmen B, take the Pongcanis Brutes A, and Imperial Pikemen B, move NorthWest. Imperial Pikemen C, Rogues F, and Lion Pikemen D, Rogues G." "Sir Alexandre, Pikemen A and C should take Rogues E. I can offer no further advice than that this Round." "My units will strike simultaneously, and yours will follow mine. You may select your own order of actions for your own troops, Sir Alexandre." Battle Order Arthur's units Alexandre's units

"Alexandre, have Pikemen C move NorthWest, Pikemen D will take care of Rogues F." "Lion Pikemen D, attack Rogues F! Imperial Pikemen C, head NorthWest! Imperial Pikemen A, Rogues B! Imperial Pikemen B, Rogues D! Crossbowmen A, Tethusial Pickets, and Crossbowmen B, Rogues D!" Battle Order: Lion Pikemen D Lion Pikemen C Imperial Pikemen C Knights C Lion Pikemen B Lion Pikemen A Crossbowmen B Imperial Pikemen B Knights B Knights A Crossbowmen A Imperial Pikemen A

"Crossbowmen A, take Rogue Pikemen C! Crossbowmen B, attack Rogue Pikemen D! Knyghton, what suggestions do you offer?" "I'd suggest ya send Lion Pikemen D an' Imperial Pikemen A an' B North one hex, an' have Imperial Pikemen C head NorthEast." "Very good, Count. All right, men, make it so. Luke, see what information you can give Sir Alexandre." "Very well, Arthur. Sir Alexandre, my I suggest that Knights A attack the Pongcanis Brutes twice? Knights B should attack Rogue Pikemen C, unless the archers take them out first, in which case they should move north and attack the Brutes as well. All of your pikemen should attack the foes directly north of them, and Knights C should move NorthEast again. Does that sound reasonable to you?" "Here's our Battle Order:" Battle Order: Lion Pikemen D All Imperial Pikemen All Crossbowmen Knights A Knights B

That was for a different idea, and I don't think either of us actually started any of the relevant work. Say...you DO have the Vampyre Castle, right...? Stand by for PM.

Point one: agreed! (Especially after K-Nut's pep talk/ideas session! ) Point two: My big problem is sets; I never seem to have the parts I need for what I want to build. Hopefully once I pick up the Vampyre Castle I'll have enough parts to build the set I have in mind.

"I think you mean attack and then move to the hill, right?"

"All right, folks, this is it! All Pikemen, and all crossbowmen, forward one hex! Alexandre, I suggest the same for your units. Knights A should move NorthEast one hex, while Knights B should move North one hex and then attack Rogue Pikemen C. I'd like you to send Knights C to the NorthEast a hex to back up our pikemen." Battle Order Knights A Knights B All Crossbowmen Knights C All Pikemen

"Very well. Sir Alexandre will command the Knights and a contingent of Pikemen, while I will command the Crossbowmen and a contingent of Pikemen. Let us proceed to the field of battle!"

"Actually, there is. If you can, spread the rumor that the Rogue Lions have turned on Emperor Roland. Hopefully that information will raise morale among the loyal Imperial troops." Arthur sends the woman on her way, and then leads the party to a back alleyway, where they all change back into Rogue Lion uniform and prepare to head to the areas where the Rogue Lions had been known to be operating.

"Not if we march in wi' tha whole army after tha battle, we won't."

Gosh I'm feeling schizophrenic, controlling Luke, Knyghton, AND Arthur! In other news...freakin' FINALLY! We're finally on the right track this Quest! For Doc: EDIT: As to Quest 27, I have one thing to say: I'm SO envious, Darkdragon! What a great set!

"Let it go, my friend, this is one battle I feel we cannot avoid." Arthur nods. "I think we're on the right track, for once in this Quest. Now, where the hell are our troops?!"

"And Emperor Alandri couldn't be bothered to tell us this before we wasted all that time with Roland? When you reach the palace, tell him he's an idiot and have him ready the Lion Knight troops, will you?" Arthur and the rest of the party help to evacuate the civilians while they wait for the troops to arrive.. Coincidentally, Knyghton is also seething. "'Oh, it's too dangerous ta build siege weapons in tha city!' Blasted fool..." he grumbles. "Easy, Knyghton, he's just young, and of a young race. He has yet to learn of these things." "Yeh, I guess ye're right, Luke." Knyghton pauses a moment. "What do ya mean, 'young race'?!" "Knyghton, Luke, cut the chatter! Everyone, let's put boxes, debris, and rubble in their path, to slow their progress. And where's the bloody army?"

Arthur, Luke, and Knyghton stow away the Rogue Lion disguises, including Alexandre's currently-unused one. OOC: This is how I nearly got myself killed in several video games...

Arthur leads the way through the marketplace, searching for a store with Smoke Bombs in stock.

Arthur follows Alex to the market, hoping enough time had passed that a store selling Smoke Bombs would be open.

"...throw the smoke bomb." Battle Order Alexandre Arthur Knyghton Luke

"Agreed, but when you do, I'll enhance it with a Darkness spell, so we should be able to slip past the guards rather than away from them."

Arthur switches tactics, attacking Imperial Guard A with Darkness from the Back Row. "Alex, speak diplomatically, for what good it will do. Yes, this man is a traitor, working in league with treacherous Heroes of Heroica! Stop him!" Knyghton and Luke both attack Guard A from the Back Row, Knyghton with his Crossbow and Luke with another Light spell. Battle Order: Alexandre Knyghton Arthur Luke

OOC: Hehe, forgot I'm in charge of Battle Orders again, as well as Luke.
