Welcome to Gaia! ::

[OOC]I still think that we need an OOC thread for rolling. It'd make this thread so much cleaner/more fluid.[/OOC]

Daya looks up at the bumbling wizard, curious as to why his eyes seemed to watch her so closely. Perhaps he has been touched by my work? Doubtful, the only ones who have ever seen me are the blood whores that threw me into this mess. There is no way he could recognize me from anywhere. she thinks to herself, trying to convince herself of that fact.
Glancing back at the cleric she scoffed.


Not all of us thought war would be some glorious adventure. I am here to survive so that I can continue my life without farther interruption; that is all.

Turning her back to Nolan she crosses her arms.

Besides, have you ever looked into the eyes of someone you have slain? Have you ever watched their soul melt away from their body, doubtful...because if you had there is no way you could have slept so soundly.

The area around is tense, but quiet, people rushing around in the dark using only the moon and the occasional lantern to see their paths. A thin man hurrying past a group of dwarves, who had been given the steryotypical order to "build something that could help." Their creation was a hastily slapped togeather ballista.

Some odd yelling came from the officers meeting room. somone stepped into the building(whatever building you're all in), and addressed the privates who were reading gear and their minds for what was coming. He spoke calmly and regularly. "The officers are relaying four minutes to the attack, be in ranks infront of the door in three, in order of bunker." He stepped out.

((A retort from any of you?))

Kavrus nodded, solemn, as Jance gave his orders. "I understand. My magic, for today, can be used to relay orders or target enemies. If you have orders to align with my abilities I suggest we get them specified before we're in battle." Turning to Nolan he nodded recognition of the cleric's profession. "If you don't mind, healer, could I ask for blessings this night?"

((Kavrus spoke with Nolan and Jance in the mess hall earlier but I don't think they were properly introduced. Plus all three came in the same group.))

{Edit:} ((I have to go. no net at home but I have to do my shift-end stuff at work now. Be back tomorrow morning, but maybe not online.))

"As it stands, here is what we have. We have been ordered to the front gate, presumably but not ultimately to stand with a hundred other men against an enemy numbering in the thousands. As I see it, our best chance is to take out their chain of command -- a precise strike to render them confused and chaotic. Jance spoke. "We must identify and put pressure on them. The ballista can be our ally and our enemy. When we identify the command and strike, be wary of ballista strikes.

We're moving to the gate now. As we move, provide me with your name and what you can do. I don't care if your skills encompass swinging a sword really hard or the sun comes out of your a** -- if you can do it I want to know it. Also, if you have any suggestions, this would be the best time to speak up.

So you know, I am Jance Virrent. As of this point you can call me Sergeant, Virrent, or Sergeant Virrent."

Jance about faced, exited the bunker, and began toward the gate.

After checking over his equipment one last time, Amari approached the newly appointed sergent.

"My name is Amari Lariel. I uhhh... I mostly just fight. I have a pretty big sword..."

Amari laughed at how incredibly unintelligent that sounded.

"I wish I were a little more useful to you, but Ive never had any use for any of the things some of our companions are capable of, until now I guess. Not that I would have been very good with any magic or anything like that anyway..."

His voice trailed off as realized he had been talking too much.
