[QUOTE="Old One, post: 331172, member: 83"] [b]Argellan Rulz...[/b] At one of the events in the 2001 season, a number of players from the original Harkenwood (Wildlands North) campaign came down to play. They got in pretty late on Friday night and didn't have time to really look around. Their cabin was pretty close to ours and when they got up the next morning, the first thing they saw was our two [b]VERY[/b] large Argellan banners. They told us later that it immediately made them feel right at home;)! Two quick "War Stories": (1) At the 2000 season closer, most of the town gathered to defend a number of PCs that were conducting a critical ritual. About a dozen were invovled in the ritual on the raised deck of a large lodge at the site. House Argellan and a couple of teams that we fight in large battles with protected one flank and everyone else protected the other. We were being attacked by waves of pretty tough goblins and orcs, led by trolls and an "Arcane" goblin (very nasty customer). We kept trouncing the ones attacking our position, but the other flank was soon in trouble and starting to break. Rather than moving into the other flank's line to reinforce them, I led about 25 PCs on around the back of the building and hit the enemy from behind. The attack completely destoyed the enemy force's cohension and we stomped them. Afterwards, almost everyone - PC and NPCs - came over and told us what an awesome sight the "Armored Wall" of Argellan made. Since then, we fondly refer to it as the "Charge of the Argellan Brigade":D! (2) Our cabin got "Rolled" at 4:30 AM after a [u]very[/u] full day. Normally, the NPCs don't hit us that late, but we had something they wanted! I was stripped down to my "tighty-whiteys" and, without bothering to put anything else on, pulled my chainmail over my head, slapped on my armored gauntlets and went to town. After the battle (in which we lost 2 PCs KIA), all of the NPCs were rolling on the ground at the sight of me in chainmail and "tighty-whiteys". Since then, I have been affectionately knows as the "tighty-whitey" bandit:p! ~ Old One [/QUOTE]
