Ongoing Games (In-Character)Play-by-post games are going on in this forum as we speak (well, read). All threads on this board are actual games, so please, only post on a thread if you are a player of that game.
"They live in a town not far from here. Maybe a few hours away at most. I'm worried."
"We have bigger things to worry about." Malia comes into view around the corner of the castle wall. "I know that man who led the attack. He's not a fool, he knows that assassinating the king will not give him power on its own. I fear the nobility may also be coming under attack, and if so we may still have a chance to stop it."
"The Count's manor in Lothet is the closest one of importance. It is a few days to the northeast of here, but perhaps we will be lucky and the enemy will have not yet attacked. I doubt they have the numbers to strike everywhere at once."
Shinobu: "Lothet? It should be possible to arrive before the enemy... Though if we use the most direct route then it will be easier for us to fall to ambush." Shinobu speaks from beside Lord Sheron.
"Though if we are prepared for an ambush, then it isn't really an ambush is it?"
Shinobu: "Lothet? It should be possible to arrive before the enemy... Though if we use the most direct route then it will be easier for us to fall to ambush." Shinobu speaks from beside Lord Sheron.
"Though if we are prepared for an ambush, then it isn't really an ambush is it?"
It still could be, we don't know if and when they will strike and may waste our energy on useless paranoia, be that as it may we must make way to Lothet. Shinobu can you guide us to Lothet?
It still could be, we don't know if and when they will strike and may waste our energy on useless paranoia, be that as it may we must make way to Lothet. Shinbou can you guide us to Lothet?
Shinobu: "Shinobu." She corrects again lightly.
I can lead us there. But it seems that Lady Malia and some of the others may have other ideas?" Shinobu looks at the others.
"I should travel to the guard barracks and rally the survivors. I suggest you scout ahead. If you encounter enemy forces you don't think you have the strength for, we will not be too far behind."
Malia leaves, and the party follows Shinobu's lead as they travel towards Lothet. It is one of the smaller counties of Morhelv, located in the most heavily forested region of the kingdom. Most of the population is concentrated in a few large towns, with large stretches of treacherous wilderness between them. The beaten dirt roads used by traders are usually the only viable path through the otherwise impenetrable woods.
On the evening of the first night of travel, you come across a man running in the opposite direction, clearly in a panic.
We have to warn the villagers, Juilan wait take my vulenrary then go North, Karvek the second row on the left. Mercury to the bottom row, Shinobu next to me.
Move to I11 and wait after Juilan takes Vulenrary.
Mortley stands at the back of the town, admiring his handwork as the zombies lurch down the street
"Ah, Mortley," he says when he sees his subordinate arriving, "What are you doing here? I do not recall telling you to be here."
"Espadri!? You're here? I, uh... you should give me more credit. Thanks to my efforts, the castle has fallen ahead of schedule. I have come for further orders."
"Is that so? By the bulge of your pockets, I would have thought you simply stole away with some treasures like a rat while the others were fighting."
"You wound me, sir! i acquired these during the initial attack on Multas' life several weeks ago. I'm saddened that you think so little of me that you would expect me to be looting when others are fighting."
"It would be consistent with your cowardly actions thus far. But I will give you a chance to prove your bravery. I see some survivors from the royal guard have followed you here. Deal with them. I forbid you to leave this town until either you or they are dead." He turns and walks away into the forest.
"What!? You can't be serious! No... I'll finish off these lowly cowards and meet back up with you within the hour. You have my word!"
Spotting Mortly and the large number of Zombies, Mercury smiled like a shark that found its next meal. "Just what I needed. Nothing like a good brawl to clear your head-"
You know he would want you to rescue the villagers first. They both would, really.
Mercury flinched. Greeeeat. I'm hearing voices in my head. Well, they have a point. Get people out first, THEN kick rotting corpses around.
She rushed over to a nearby house, feet clapping against the cobblestones. "Hey!" She banged on the door. "An army of corpses are heading this way! If you break for the south gate, you can get out before they get here! Otherwise, bar your doors and windows!"
Action:
Move to K15, visit.

Back into the battlefield Julian took a deep breath. Ah the rotten smell of...dead flesh? Oh great zombies. Vampires,now Zombies. Supernatural was not his forte and now they were all around
Mounting Aurum he takes a low flight, first grabbing the Vulnerary tossed to him by Sheron and then flying ahead, making a small circle over the church, and a quick look at the enemies. He could recognize the green-robed one...
Landing close to the doors, and readying his lance, he gets rather nervous, one's first real defeat in battle really messes with your mindl,but now was not time for that, shaking his head around and sending his hair into his face, he throws the bangs back to where they belong and raises his lance. Aurum realizing they were challenging them to come, gives a dissonant roar\
Trade Vulnerary with Sheron, then Canto(or normal move,probably both work) to K10

Shinobu: "Sorry Lord Sheron, I'm going to go ahead to help the villagers. It won't take too long to evacuate them again." She says before disappearing from sight into the shadows.

"Don't worry about me. If any zombies come in here an axe to the head should right fix them. Now that that brute with the axe is gone and you're here, I doubt we're in any great danger. You should have seen the warrior who left just as you arrived. The man was built like a brick wall. He destroyed half the town on his own, and raised the fallen as mindless undead. I didn't think it was possible to be such a powerful soldier and necromancer at once."Julian moves to J11.
Julian takes Sheron's vulnerary.
Julian moves to K10.
Shinobu moves to D15.
Shinobu visits. Old Man
"Thank you for stopping by to help me board the place up. While you're here, is it true that the captial has fallen? We've had terrible luck with royalty for as long as I can remember. Why, just thirty years or so ago the queen was assassinated by a mad clergyman. He thought she was a vampire, believe it or not. Last I heard, he fled to the woods and was never heard of again. Oh, look a me, rambling like that. You'd better get moving before the zombies get here!"
Ally Turn
Gideon reinforces to B9.

"There they are! Go, slaughter our master's enemies!"
"Arrgroah!"
"Go on, attack them!"

With some difficulty, taking the lance from the insides of the Zombie who doesn't seem harmed at all. They were pretty good at psychological warfare even if unintentional one. Preferring to take some boost before the next attack, he looks to the side and sees the new guy who joined them. Cool
"HEY! YOU WITH THE AXE!"
Once he looks Aurum flies full speed towards the nearby zombie and Julian impales him. Once coming to a full stop he smiles and looks at the ally
"Switch with me =D?"
Move to G9, Attack Zombie 6 (Or whatever combination of "Move to X, attack Zombie 6, Canto to G9 and actually ends in G9 that 4is111 prefers to write ^^)

There is a shuffling from inside the church, and someone answers.
"Speak! Be you zombie or human?"
"What? He's OBVIOUSLY a human!"
"I don't know that! he might be a very clever zombie, you never know... Master of stealth, assasination and disguise..."
"Are you suggesting that there is such a thing as zombie ninjas?"
"I hate to interrupt, you two, but we have a guest at the door who is very patiently waiting a response."
"...Yes, Father."
The door creaks open and an aging man with a priestly hat and robe is standing on the other side. Behind him are two very nervous villagers behind rows of stacked up chairs forming a crude barricade. Bedrolls with the wounded are visible in the background.
"Greetings, friend. We have used all of our supplies upon the wounded here already, but if you wish to seek shelter here you are welcome... I'm afraid the zombies made themselves known before you arrived..." he gestures over to the wrecked houses behind the church. "I am Father Mannfred, athough I do not use that title often. May I ask who you are?"

"Huh?" Karvek says, watching the wyvern rider soar over and kill the zombie that was attacking him. "Uh, sure," He replied moving to where the wyvern was only moments before and axing the zombie there.
"Oh, cram it! Can't you hear all that fighting back there?! They need another front liner!"
The safety of the people comes fir-
"Shuddap! I do whatever the hell I want, and no stupid half-drunk hallucination is going to change that!" Mercury skid to a stop, turning from the remaining house and dashing back towards the crowd in the center. "Bring it on, you rotting piles!"
Action:
Move to I14 and wait.

My name is Sheron Father Mannfred Sherons says extending his arm for a handshake. Is everyone in here stable? He asked abit worried If so we could use your help in combating the undead horde
Gideon: "Hmmph. Looks like I arrived right on time."
Gideon dashes past the house in front of him, and moves into the adjacent alley. After a quick glance over the wall, he levels two quick shots at the nearest shambling creature.
My name is Sheron Father Mannfred Sherons says extending his arm for a handshake. Is everyone in here stable? He asked abit worried If so we could use your help in combating the undead horde
"Please, just call me Mannfred. You've arrived just in time - the last of the people who made it here are stable. No more will die provided the undead do not take another step into this town."
The priest turns back to his temporary congregation. "Bar the door, I will be back soon." he requests, but despite it not being a command the two men quickly get to work. Turning back to Sheron, Mannfred steps out of the church and examines the rest of his team who are in eyeshot. "Yes... I believe we can fight back now... I will help you liberate this town, although I am not a fighter myself." Mannfred turns around and hefts the crossbar off the top of the door - wait a minute, that's not a crossbar, it's a Heal staff! "Now... Show me your wounded."

Those walking corpses will tear him to pieces if they find him. If you act quickly he'll live. They wouldn't notice him until they were practically on top of him. Those zombies just shamble about aimlessly until they're within striking range of something. Please don't let that happen!

Mannfred finishes healing the lightly wounded wyvern rider before noticing a rather large man with an axe over to the right taking some hits. Hitching up his robes, he sprints like a maniac towards the axe fighter and mutters some words under his breath. As the staff glows an iridescent blue and the energy wraps over the man in front of him, the priest cannot help but notice a woman with a sword advancing towards them.
At that point he notices the gaping hole to the riight of the man. The zombie-sized hole. His mind now made up, Mannfred calls over to the woman. "E-Excuse me? Over here! we have a gap over here, if you don't mind!"
Action: Move to J10, HealKarvek in K10 with Heal Staff

Re: Fire Emblem: Age of Turmoil
"Not worse for the kingdom, I admit. But... I have family sir, I must make sure they are unharmed!"
"We have bigger things to worry about." Malia comes into view around the corner of the castle wall. "I know that man who led the attack. He's not a fool, he knows that assassinating the king will not give him power on its own. I fear the nobility may also be coming under attack, and if so we may still have a chance to stop it."
