NOTW XXIX: Hired Swords - Game Thread

[Sprig]

"It is to compensate for something"​

*snigger snigger*

 

[Sepuku]

I will support the Lancer's interest in being the new captain. Though I would've perfered him to have kept a weapon to defend himself. Having a liability is never good in a fight.

*Takes out a flask of his own and joins Sprig*

 

[Diamondeye]

The Lizardman slowly wakes up from the silence that has lowered itself over him since they found the Captain's body. With a gaze in the direction of Thomas.Berubeg, obviously annoyed at the man's uncontrolled yelling, he hisses:

"I am sssad that Paulusss convincssed me to join up thisss time around. Nothing good will come from thisss.

Alssso, am I the only one who sssussspectsss that these foul Doviello creepsss are trying to revenge their ssslain Illian brothersss? Thomasss Berubeg, you better start exssplaining. In a controlled voicsse. I can't hear what I am thinking when you yell like that."

 

[Sprig]

The Berserker eyes up the Slinger and watches him take a swig of something powerfully strong. The fumes coming out of the flash and drifting across seemed to make the others' eyes water.

"Now we are talking! Any others keen for a drink. I know the Mounted Archer is always down for a drink. Where is my good friend the battlemaster, he surely won't want to miss out even if it is morning?"​

 

[Winston Hughes]

Of course I'll join you in a drink, my burly friend.

Just the one, though. You melee types may benefit from a belly full of ale, but the art of bowmanship requires a keen eye and a steady hand.

He raises his own flask.

So, what are we drinking to? Fallen comrades? Or the battles to come?

 

[Frozen In Ice]

All this drinking in a time like this! We'll need our wits about us if we are going to make it through this one alive.

 

[Seon]

No *hiccup* thank you -[/drunk]

 

[Autolycus]

I will endorse the Lancer Renata for the leadership in recompense for the loss of our horses. The lancer is harmed more than the rest of us by the loss of the horses, although no Hippus is truly whole without his mount.
Has anyone seen the charioteer or the hippus swordsman? I would take comfort in the company of all my countrymen.

 

[johnhughthom]

I have been grieving my horse, he has served me well in many a fight and deserved a prayer to honour his memory.
I also endorse the Lancer Renata as captain, and I assure Sepuku that no Hippus is ever a liability, weaponless or otherwise.

 

[Khazaar]

Why would someone turn this successful mission into a desaster for the company? Nothing good will come of it I´m sure.

I would vote for the Adventurer Backwards Logic as new captain. He can adapt and grow to become a great leader.

 

[Seon]

Renata can be the new leader. Why not?

 

[Renata]

Sprig, why do you want TFA to be leader? Khazaar, why Backwards Logic?

 

[Renata]

[OOC:

I've accidentally learned something game-breaking, and rather than tear the game up because of it or try to pretend I don't know, I'm going to leave. Paulus will be assigning my character's better features (assuming there are any) to other players. Good luck everyone, even you-know-who.

Also, Paulus requests I add a huge

DO NOT DISCUSS THIS IN HERE.

So I did.]

GM comment: Renata has indeed confirmed to me that she has left the game. The less said about this, the better. So don't say anything more about this, please.

Also, update in 3 hours.

 

[Backwards Logic]

The Adventurer walks on over to the group gathered. He feels extremely sorry for those who have lost their horses. While he didn't ride one himself, he couldn't help but feel saddened at the loss of them and what they meant to their riders. Having been all over the country, he'd come in contact with many creatures and he'd come to respect horses for their strength and smarts. Because really, some animals were just dumb. Like deer. I mean, you're about to shoot them and all, and they just look at you with this clueless stare. Can't you see I'm about to make venison jerky out of you? And you're just standing there with a clump of vegetation hanging stupidly out of your mouth? Anyway, his thoughts returned to the grim reality at hand.

"Just when you think you've seen it all, it gets worse." He looks over at the Captain's body. He'd seen death before, hell, they all had, but the sight of their leader crumpled in a pool of his own was slightly revolting. "Someone get blanket to cover his body. Show the man some respect as opposed to just staring at him."

"With Khazaar's nomination of myself as new leader I would like to formally announce that I accept. If there others who agree, please step forward. If a better candidate can be found have them step forward now. We have a long day ahead of us and the sooner we establish a new captain the sooner we can find who's causing this mayhem."

 

[Ekolite]

With Renata, umm, mysteriously dissapearing, it is obvious that the only one suitable to lead us is me, Ekolite.

 

[johnhughthom]

My choice for captain is my fellow Hippus Autolycus.

 

[Krill]

I think I should be the captain.

 

[Autolycus]

Given the unfortunate departure of the lancer, it seems that it falls to me, Autolycus to lead us.

 

[J-man]

I'm not sure yet about who should be leader, I need some time to think.
