Message: <blockquote data-quote="Uriel" data-source="post: 843934" data-attributes="member: 8222">Captain Varn sneers at the necromancer 'I said that the intelligence was OLD, you buggerer of Maggot-ridden Corpses. I have little in the way of scouts left, and my Sorcerer was killed in the retreat.' The last word took considerable effort to get out, and one gets the idea that the Captain found the concept distateful at best. Varn stands from where he had been kneeling at the map.Looking about he yells'Troopers! Fall In!'\ Groaning and moaning the Hobgoblins, Goblins and the few orcs present all stand and try their best to present at attention.Discounting the 3 or 4 dozen too wounded to be moved, the company stands as follows <OoC:Minus the PCs'>45 Hobgoblin Troopers32 Goblin Skirmishers11 Orcs <Irregular Fighters>4 OgresCaptain VarnUrfguk, the Company ShamanLorg, the Captain's Aide3 Seargants and 5 Corporals, all Hobgoblins4 Worg Rider Goblins <scouts>Varn bellows 'Who wants to be Tollkeepers?' Tollkeeper was a euphamism for those too wounded to travel, who would stay behind in ambush with crossbows, makeshift  oil-bombs and who would trigger traps for the Pursuers.About half of the Wounded raised hands, most of these Hobgoblins. The other half, mostly Goblins and Orcs, moaned and grumbled silently at being left behind.Varn smiled and turned to the group assembled where the Map was.'Durgo, you are in charge of the remaining Muragar, and keep that Son of yours under control. Wekerak, get the last of the Worg-Riders together into something resembling a scout unit.Necromancer,if there is anything that you can do to slow down the Elvish adance, it would be greatly appreciated. You lot there on the ground, don't wanna get left behind eh? Well, it's your lucky day...See, we lost most of our grub in the retreat, and we seem light on meat. You, Gnoll, take a half dozen of the orcs and get to cutting the meat into carryable chunks. And Bargo, help him out. And try not to kill any of the ones that can walk and fight,eh?' Varn turns back to his Sgts and Corporals,discussing the reorganization of the remaining troops, even as the screams of those who had chose not to Tollkeep were silenced by eager and sadistic Orcs wielding axes and cleavers.</blockquote>
