Empires of Ashes

Erich: I-I mean, when he told us what our mission was...he admitted there was the chance he was wrong, horribly wrong, but...but he didn't seem to believe that, even as he said it...

"oh...."

Erich: Yes....So...So what I'm saying is...if you want your clan's fortunes to change...then perhaps you should wait for us...the Kaiser is...a lenient man when given good reason.

"you..want to help me?"

Erich: If we come to your land in our exodus, give the Kaiser reason to help you, to see you as an ally. We Brigardi may not be a trusting people but...we're fiercely loyal to our friends.

"you....trust me"

Erich: Well....I...I said something that gave you a tinge of hope...I couldn't bring myself to snuff it out...

"....thankyou...so much"

Erich: Don't thank me yet....

"You've already done more than most from my land"

Semi-IC: *Cupod appears and shoots them*

OOC: Shut up, Matt. She has a boyfriend already.

IC:

Erich: Oh....Um....

OOC: It's Mr Steal-Yo-Girl!

OOC: I'LL STEAL ALL YOUR SHEEP, WELSIHE!! *UNLEASHES A HORDE OF ANGRY GERMANIC COOKS!!*

OOC: *Corgis eat all of the Wurst*

OOC: *Suddenly, corgi-wurst.*

"Just....thanks"

Erich: It's not a problem. Just...don't let anyone know...I could be killed if it's discovered I told you this.

"On my honour"

OOC: YOU MONSTER!

*He smiles at that.*

Erich: Good enough.


OOC: *EVIL GERMANIC LAUGH. Then it turns out it was actually soy-wurst....which is even worse then corgi wurst.*

OOC: RELEASE THE HIPSTERS!

she smiles and starts polishing her kanabo
OOC DONT!!!

OOC: *Points out the lack of hipsters in England and Wales, and that they only have chavs.*

IC:

*A small group of Brigardi drag in a rather large stag, freshly killed.*

OOC: I'm sorry for doing this.......*Chavs are airdropped into US population centres*

OOC MATT!
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE
IC Kenshin also returns

OOC: Matt, we already have worse versions of chavs. They're called gangers.

IC:

Erich *to Kenshin*: I see your hunt was successful.

"aye, it was a tough one"

Erich: Really?

he nods and sits

*Timeskip past the night. The next day, the expedition continues their journey.*

kenshin and mako ride next to eachother

*Joachim rides up to them.*

Joachim: Anything I should know about the region we're coming up to?

"the coast is not too far now"

Joachim: And what will we find there? Besides the ocean I mean.

"if we head west, we get to the talons. a line of natural bays three ports between"

Joachim: Sounds interesting. Must be a prosperous place.

"it would be without thengul or kelthrovi raids"

Joachim: Of course...savages.

he nods

Joachim: Don't your people have fleets to deal with them? And what of the city garrisons?

"fleets, barely. Garrisons yes. but they can only do so much"

Joachim: Why do you lack proper fleets?

"our method of war.....is difficult at sea"

Joachim: Right...The cavalry charge. That makes sense...

"the Minpei make up most of our navy"

Joachim: The who?

"Minpei. the soldier militia of the civilian caste"

Joachim: Ah...Am I to assume your militia are....not well trained?

"they're well trained but...they're usually only used if the warriors are unavailable."

Joachim: Ah....And why wouldn't your warriors be available?
