Thorval: this feast is to welcome Julia to our hold and to bless the betrothal of her to my son thorgar.
""KORBAL VAS DUL"" (everyone shouts) "now let the feast begin (now should i use the food porn discriptions or just gloss over it?)

OOC up to you
IC Julia smiles nervously

The first dish served is cut lettace stuffed with olives and dates served with a light rasburry vinegar glaze, following that is a small bowl of assorted fruits ranging from melons to mangos, after that is a thick beef and cabbige soup lightly seasoned with peppers and onions and a slightly nutty aftertaste witch is censed with a salad dish of light greens and juicy tomatoes, cont.

They then being out a plater of smoked fish and suculant shellfish, with boiled crabs and steamed clams piled next to a bright red whole lobster, along with fillets of trout, tuna, and pike. woth fresh lemons and butter set in the center of the platters, finally the main dish of braised mammoth smothered in a honey pineapple glaze and fried potatoes seared with fresh cheeze and onions with stuffef mushrooms to flesh out the dish, a second soup is brought out this one a much lighter fish soup with bits of red potstos and pieces of clams and trout, finally they bring out dissert wich is a mountain of pastries of all shapes sizes and flavores, many ising jams made of berries and honey, wit cinnimon swirls and icing glazed cakes, and sweet honey bread set along with an assortment of sweet fruits.

OOC: Your inactivity does nothing to stop the RP.

*With the walls having either fallen or been reduced to ash, the Cymraic forces march forward*

there is drumming inside the walls

julia is getting overwhelmed by all the food

Mead, wine, ale, cider, and other drinks are lassed arround freely
Felsi: are you alright (munches on some sweet bread)

"Yea, just more food than I'm used to"

*the shield wall advances with archers at the ready*

OOC I guess Julia can't handle such "food porn"

also last night Geek Squad finally gave a verdict on the status of my tablet just a week short of a full month later
it's damaged beyond repair, and I'm getting credit for a new one (welp, there goes hours of playtime data, days even)

OOC. what happened to it? O.o

also, anime: you know those small farmer vehicles that are basically small engines on wheels pulling a cart? now one of those was puffing along at walking pace, a small animal suddenly jumped in front and the grandpa driving it had to jerk the handle to turn quickly... queue epic skidding and flipping scene followed by wrecks and smoke.... and i thought i was a bad driver... then again,. it takes skill to flip those things like that...

The drtmming intensifies

Episode 3.: i have yet to see a woman who wears pants... or anything really... its like they all just put on some military coats and its alright...

oh, and the biggest lie of them all! england has warm, sunny beaches with warm, waveless, azure seas and it pretty much never rains...


Also, update on Armored Warfare: .......bullshit beyond comprehension... theres a marker on your crosshairs to indicate wther you can penetrate there or not... out of 20 shots fired at "sure pen" spots, ~15 bounced off...
not to mention that cannons have a 50+ centimeter spread on 100 frikkin meters... they should have that on a kilometer or so!
this game is a fething disaster... and you know whats the worst? it will be a successful game even so, because all the wannabe rambos from WoT are swarming over because its shiny and has badass modern tanks and pretty graphics...

OOC tablet fell off the bed and landed right on a corner if the crack was anything to go by. half the screen became unresponsive and was impossible to put in my pasword on September 14th or so, mid month

*The wall enters the village*

right into a volley of arrows

*Most of the arrows embed themselves in the shields but a few hit home, those that fell being quickly replaced by the soldiers behind them. As the arrows hit, a retaliatory volley arcs over the wall*

the tribals seem to be waiting for something

*The shield wall remains still as the archers loose several more volleys*

*In Cymraic* "It seems these tribals don't know when to surrender"

OOC. oh, civilizations, how i love your logic... Beyond Earth this time, not V...
My marines have spent the last 100 turns or so entrenched on a foresty hill and constantly besieged by aliens spawning from 3 hives around them... and they held... *salutes as a teardrop rolls down his cheek* ... there are literally 6 new hills around them made entirely out of alien corpses at this point... and since they spent so much time fighting for their lives as more and more waves of suicidal aliens assaulted them, now the entire planet is against me because i dared fight for my life... not to mention that every single thing down to the smallest bug across the planet now knows how "aggressive" i am...

*salutes your men all the way from Earth*

"WE WILL NOT GO QUIETLY INTO THE NIGHT"

There is a loud roar

to whom is this aimed, if at me "Oh fuck, that sounds bad..."

Its to bush

"....That sounds familiar, slow march gentlemen don't break the wall"
*The wall begins to creep toward the enemy*

Ooc inb4 a giant fucking dragon or some shit comes and murders you

OOC: Not a giant one, but there are dragons.

2 of the above creature approach
wearing spiked collars
btw its bigger than a polar bear

"Spearman form spearwall!"

*The spearman do as ordered, forming a spearwall behind the Prince*
"4th rank get behind the spears, once you are all behind the spears call out so the next rank can fall back. We'll keep doing this until either they charge or we're safely behind the spearmen"
*The soldiers obey their leader and fall back rank by rank*

they seem to be slowly circling as the tribal warriors gather

*After about 40 seconds the swordsmen have reformed behind the spearmen*

OOC: Before you act in character. Are there any streets to the sides of my wall that could be used to flank around and hit the side of my army?

OOC no
IC they have all gathered now and begin beating their shields

"Longbowmen fire!"
*A volley of arrows soar over their heads and slam into both the beasts and the tribals*

the beasts roar with anger and charge, the tribals with them

"Brace!"

*The swordsmen ready themselves whilst the spearmen hope that their spears will impale the big beasties*

*smashy impact*

*Cue combat*

one of the beasts manages to smash through the front line
he's closing on the prince

*the prince is surrounded by his bodyguard who react appropriately, pushing him back and forming a shieldwall with their spears above the shields*

it pounces, leaping over 2 of the bodyguard and landing on another 2

*The prince raises his shield and attempts to keep the beast focused on him whilst 2 bodyguards go in to stab it from behind*

it roars and turns, smacking each with bone shattering force

*The prince lunges forward and stabs it before diving back to avoid the retaliatory claw*

it roars in pain as it comes at him again

OOC got a new tablet yesterday, attendance to the site should jump up by a few hours now

*He raises his shield and steps back*
