Day 357 - Y: 2, Day 5: Good News
[sblock=Plot Point Reminder]Shaffemaron said, "Come Seeding Season, we will... march an army to Southroad Fair and kill everyone not willing to be subjugated."[/sblock]
San-Bolo thank the Maldrog for their support and go over the parts of the trail that need work done. Sannit proposes that each community take half of the trail...
| GM: | The Bergbaulager faction realizes that the creation of a road from the path is an almost daunting task. With the aid of a crew from the Maldrog, it would take a crew from Southroad Fair a good year to clear the way and provide a better traverse. Then, regular maintenance will be necessary to keep the natural growth at bay. This is definitely something suited to those of the mundane labor rather than prospectors and explorers. The road will come, but the war will come, first. |

Back at Southroad Fair when the Seekers are alone again with their close allies Sannit says, "Now that we know the town will be well guarded, we can talk about how to stop that army before it even gets to Southroad Fair. We don't have to kill every last Asylin soldier, we just have to break their will. Getting them to flee is just as much a victory as total destruction. If we harass them at night, keep them from getting rest it could slow them down."
Merin and Tor thank the Maldrog... Both of them point out the advantages of guerilla warfare against a large, slow-moving force.
Tor says, "You know, if we could make it almost back to Asylim, and harrass them almost as soon as they leave the city, the boldness of attacking them successfully in their own territory might prove to be a crippling blow to their morale. What say the rest of you?"
[sblock=Bergbaulager]The Maldrog show a surprising amount of interests in the unfortunate development of an enemy army approaching from Asylim with malevolent intent. After very little deliberation, they agree to send a heavy unit to offer bulwark protection should the enemy actually reach the southern edge of town. With the size of Bergbaulager only being about twice that of Southroad Fair, the unit will only contain 20 soldiers. This heavy unit will be lead by the familiar unit of the Berbaulager Prospectors, the leader of whom volunteers. It will take this unit 15 days to reach Southroad Fair. If it leaves at the first of Seeding, it should arrive 15 days ahead of the enemy army.[/sblock]
[sblock=Boga City]Despite this admission, Sheldon and Indigo are astounding that the "small" force consist of a unit of 100 mounted archers. Even at a leisure pace of 8 days, this force will not need to leave until well into Seeding Season to be of help in a timely manner.[/sblock]
Sheldon and Indigo are more than excited about the news with which they and the others have returned and the impetus to take the fight to the enemy.
"
Horses give us a distinct advantage with speed, even at a pace Turtle can maintain, though with the addition of a cart, we could tether two of the colts to it to pull Turtle at a faster pace that way he is not fatigued when it comes to battle. Clavo would likely loan us the use of one of the Carpenters' carts in the advent of war if we do not wish to keep it."
Indigo touches Bolo on the shoulder. "
Do you think Turtle could be comforted to ride in a cart? I think Sheldon has a good idea, there."
Sheldon continues, "
Do we want to carry water and leave early enough to go all the way into the desert?"
Indigo looks around. "
I hope Vadin is still with us. We have lost Galen, Siofra, Respen, Revan, and Saemund."
