TIRELIA - The Breadbasket of the East, a mighty realm with a proud chivalric tradition, vast fields of grain and mountains rich with ore, where noble houses vye for influence under the watchful eye of old King Bertram the Even-Handed.

Starting CLASSES: Soldier, Knight, Archer, Cavalier, Priest, Pegasus Knight

WARGYLL - The Lawless Realms of the North, where petty barons and pirate lords prey on the weak, where death comes easy, the nights are long and the ale is strong. A land where you live or die by your wits and your weapon.

Starting CLASSES: Warrior, Thief, Mercenary, Soldier, Shaman, Pirate

ASCEBE - The Merchant Kingdom of the South, a place of refinement and learning, but also of scheming and treachery. The great halls of the University of Magic are a resplendent sight, but don't be dazzled by the finery: to be a noble in this realm is to be embroiled in endless webs of politicking and rivalry.

Starting CLASSES: Mercenary, Myrmidon, Thief, Troubadour, Mage, Wyvern Knight

RAKDON - The Crumbling Empire of the West, an ancient colossus that once shone with splendor, now all but torn apart by warring steppe-lords and the inaction of a weak, corrupt dynasty. Rakdonians are proud and haughty, dwelling on old achievements.

Starting CLASSES: Myrmidon, Archer, Nomad, Monk, Cavalier, Knight

(contd.)

>>15735878

Playing the GAME:

* During intermissions, PLAYERS suggest actions and decisions for the LORD character and other characters in the retinue. When resolving tasks, roll d10. Low is good, high is bad.

* During battle sequences, PLAYERS give orders to both the LORD and characters in the retinue. A player can also assume the role of a character in the retinue and advise the Lord and fight in-character. Conflict resolution in battles is done using the system in http://www.megaupload.com/?d=83XBIDL9

* For the first few missions, the LORD's retinue will consist only of characters from the starting class selection of the realm /tg/ chooses. After that, additional classes will be available for recruitment during missions.

Voting for a Knight hailing from Rakdon.

Mage from Ascebe.

Because we need a good Mage Lord after the failure that was Micaiah.

rolled 6 = 6

Mage from Ascebe.

Going to take a few more votes until I commit.

Wyvern Knight from Ascebe.

Flying lords? Yes please.

>>15736528
I second the Wyvern riding Lord!

Troubadour Lord from Ascebe

Has there ever been a Mage Lord?

>>15736561

Yeah, one of the more recent games had one. I think it was for the Wii.

>>15735938

Voting for this. Nobody ever does a Knight protagonist in FE. It's always "Mage" this, or "Myrmidon" that, and the occasional "Cavalier" so-often.

Wyvern Knight from Ascebe sounds like a pretty cool choice to me.

Pegasus Knight from Tirelia.

Cavalier of Tirelia. Promotes to Paladin Lord.

Another vote for the Wyvern Knight. Those guys are always badass.

A good mage lord would be nice, but has there ever been a Flying Lord that wasn't a villain?

Well, if we don't get a mage, I'll go for a Wyvern Knight. I don't think there's ever been a flying Lord.

Votes so far:

Tirelia, Wyvern Knight: 4
Tirelia, Mage: 2
Rakdon, Knight: 2
Ascebe, Troubadour: 1
Tirelia, Pegasus Knight: 1

You have 5 more minutes to vote.

Shaman. Those guys are always pretty baller. Suppose that means Wargyll.

Another vote for a Wyvern Knight, because I cannot remember even a single flying lord from the entire series.

>>15736755
I supposed I should get a name...

>>15736783

Not really necessary until we get started, I think. Right now we're just picking a lord. That said, if we don't get a shaman lord, I am tripping the fuck up to be the obligitory shaman that shows up at like mission 16

>>15736755
Well there's Ellincia, but fuck her, she's not really a lord.

ASCEBE: WYVERN KNIGHT selected.

You are Kalen, firstborn of the minor House Radostan. As you grew up, your parents quickly discovered that your main areas of interest were neither the study of magical tomes, nor the games of scheming and backstabbing so common to nobles in the Ascebian Court. Instead, you spent your waking hours on saddleback, soaring in the skies above Templecourt Keep with your favorite vyvern, Sam, a prized steed that your father purchased for you (at considerable expense) on your 10th birthday. Having spent two years training in the mountainous fortress of the Royal Wyvern Regiment, you are confident that you can prove yourself in battle. Currently, you have returned to your family's home at Templecourt Keep. At your arrival you're greeted by familiar shouts. It seems your mother and your sister are having one of their usual rows again.

>>15736989
Investigate the argument!

>>15737010
indeed

>>15737010
I agree with this.

>>15736989

"...and I'm telling YOU that if you try to force me to marry that filthy old fart I will throw myself off the cliff and die!"

"Lenore, be reasonable. He's not THAT old..."

"HE'S A FILTHY DIRTY SMELLY OLD FART WITH A BEARD AND NOSE HAIR!"

You shrug as you throw open the doors of the main hall and the argument comes to a halt as your sister turns towards you. A smile replaces the frown on her face when the recognition finally sinks in. She runs up to embrace you.

"Brother! It's been far too long. You've been holed up there in the mountain with those hideous creatures..."
"Wyverns are actually very intelligent," you begin but she interrupts you, "those SOLDIERS I mean!"

"So, what is this about a marriage?" you ask both Lenore and mother. They both lower their heads, and explain the situation in a somber tone. It appears your father's illness has worsened, the healers' efforts seem to be in vain. And while father has been bedridden, the House's business has suffered greatly. A marriage to a wealthy House seems inevitable if the family is to keep its status at the Court. Lenore shakes her head when she hears this. "I will never agree to marry that old fool Lord Cardoz. Never!"

>>15737199

There is always an alternative. Many from other nations would flog their families to get a backdoor way into having influence here. And it would give us another way to bring profit to our house.


P.S. Surely the character would know more about this sort of thing, such as potential suitors. Obviously we don't know shit.

>>15737199
"Surely there must be another way? The idea of selling my sister to some backstabbing old man does not sit well with me...Nor with her, it seems."

rolled 11 = 11

>>15737264

Seconded. We're not aces at court politics, but Tirella can't be called the breadbasket for nothing. If we're talking about cross-country marriges, let's talk about a wedding there.

>>15737199
"If marrying that Count is out of the question, perhaps you could look for another suitor? I mean, there ought to be someone else willing to take Lenore's hand, yes?"

The thought of having to effectively sell your sister into servitude to a perverted merchant doesn't sit well with you. Unfortunately, the time you spent studying the art of war wasn't very conductive to locating potential suitors. You can think of a few good knights in your class, but they are all poor or born of low stock. Your mother begins to list the reasons lord Cardoz is a good alternative: He's an old friend and ally, and he has good standing with the Court, being the headmaster of the University.

"No, there must be another way." You cut her off decisively. Mother looks towards you with tears in her eyes...

And the door opens, letting in your seneschal. "Pardon my intrusion, Myladies, mylord, but there are urgent news. A rider from our caravan just came to the keep. He says our wagons, with all our goods, has been intercepted by bandits."

"Intercepted?" Mother freezes, in shock. Lenore explains that the caravan was carrying the meager profits of the family's latest trading venture, but far more importantly, it was also loaded with an exotic potion, far more potent than a regular vulnerary, that was to be given to Father. If he doesn't get the potion on time...

In order to recover the stolen goods, you must ride out to search for the bandits. You may bring 2 additional characters with you. Select from the permitted starting classes, and pick a name for each (and preferably, a brief background).

>>15737274
I agree with this. A marriage is not something to be done lightly.

rolled 7 = 7

Dinesh, Thief.

One of your tutors, who, after a few beers will show anyone some tricks he picked up back when he lived out on the streets.

Also a Mercenary

>>15737451

Valus: the House Mage of the Radostans, he has recently taken over the position from the aging Gerrod.

Fryn: a capable Myrmidon under the employment of House Radostan, her swift speed and long, auburn hair has earned her the nickname "The Bronze Blur".

>>15737542
>>15737516
I second the mage, but we need someone a little more solid than a Myrm or Theif...

Perhaps a Cavalier?

>>15737578
Cavaliers are not available to us. This is what we've got.

ASCEBE:
Starting CLASSES: Mercenary, Myrmidon, Thief, Troubadour, Mage, Wyvern Knight

rolled 32 = 32

>>15737451

We need to overtake the bandits quickly, and we should try to make sure people outside the family don't know what was with the caravan besides goods.

Lenore - Troubadore - She can't fight, but she can ride, and she can deal with wounds.

And

>>15737542

House mage seems like a good person to bring along as well.

>>15737594
Then a Mercenary.

Bandits are always axe-wielders, without exception.

Esau: A seasoned veteran of the Garand War, nicknamed "The Silver Falcon". A childhood friend of Kalen's father.

>>15737578
We're pretty solid, and the mage can provide ranged support, so it might be better to have a thief or myrmidon with us.

>>15737627
Do eet.

>>15737627

Pretty solid choice. I only recommend Thief because they can become god-tier if given a fair amount of axe-wielders to demolish in the early game

>>15737627
Hmm, sounds good. Although I'm going to keep Fryn in my memory for later. "The Silver Falcon" and "The Bronze Blur" sounds like an awesome team-up to me!

So we're going with Esau the Mercenary and Valus the Mage?

Normally I'd like a healer along, like Lenore, but probably better to just hit the bandits fast and hard.

The old barracks of your family Keep have the familiar smell of ale, sweat and cellar mold. As you descend you are greeted by your family's oldest retainer, Esau. You need not explain the situation, since he was the one that first spotted the messenger. He frowns as he ponders the task.

"Bandits, you say? This close to the capital? No regular robber's band is this bold. Someone must have paid a good sum to the guard captain to ignore that particular stretch of the Highway. That, or they've got their hands on a schedule for the patrols. Either way, this might mean trouble."

>>15737794
"Good point, let's fetch Valus as well, we may need a mage"

Valus is summoned from the library. He is happy to see you. "If only the circumstances were happier, young master." He sighs, and you ponder why he insists on calling you "young master" when he himself is only 2 years older than you. Mages have a need to appear old and wise, you guess.

Your preparations are complete. Your men ride out, while you whistle a complex signal, summoning your Wyvern from the air. Sam has been hunting, and he looks at you as if expecting a battle. You spur him on and climb high into the air, surveying the area. It is not long until you reach the place where your convoy was intercepted.

Roll 1d10 to scout the area.

Craaap, apparently the Dice Gods do not favor me at the moment. Alright, where's my incense?

I am so very glad that you rolled first.

>>15737964
Let's just hope Malys doesn't do an average of all rolls, then.

>>15737918

I usually shoop them, but right now I'm stuck with Paint. The backgrounds are taken from the Fire Emblem GBA games. All talking head sprites are frankenstein'd by mashing together characters from Fire Emblem GBA games.

"They wouldn't have stayed on the highway," you reckon, "since they'd attract too much attention." Soaring above the woods, you soon manage to spot a group of axe-wielding men in a clearing. Signaling your men, you descend onto the battlefield. A few of the bandits have bows, and even though you fly with the sun at your back, one of them spots you. You pull hard on Sam's reins, turning away from the arrow being trained on you. The archer takes a shot but it passes you harmlessly; however, he manages to raise the alarm. Now the bandits are prepared for you.

PLAYER TURN.

rolled 2 = 2

>>15738036
eeeeYikes, that's a lot of bows. Move Esau towards the northernmost bandit, have lord and Valus follow, but stay out of the archer's range.

rolled 1 = 1

>>15738036

The whole group should start moving southeast, circling the bandits until they can get to those forests.

rolled 2 = 2

>>15738089
Er, what he said.

>>15738054
I'm going to second this.

>>15738054
This seems like a good plan of action. Also, they look pretty good for what you're working with, Malys. Kudos.

rolled 2 = 2

>>15738089

seconding this, first priority is to get that green recruited

>>15738089
And in between when I last refreshed and posted, an even better idea came out. Thirding this one instead.

>>15738089
Also supporting this.
And taking a name.

Namefagging is v. important in this thread, so we know who to ignore and focus on the anon posts for good advice

Party inventory:

Kalen: Iron Lance, Vulnerary x 2

Valus: Fire Tome, Vulnerary

Esau: Iron Sword, Iron Axe

>>15738114
Wow, I didn't even notice that one was green!
Fourthing the southeastern motion into the forests.
>>15738163
This was very helpful, thank you.

I'd like concrete orders, formatted as:

>[NAME] move 1S 2E

Movement values:

Kalen: 6 squares

Valus: 4 squares

Esau: 4 squares

>>15738163

Not that I'm complaining, but is there a reason our presumably lvl 1 merc has an axe, given that he won't use it for another 20 levels?

Also, which one of the bandits has a name and portrait, thereby making him the boss?

Kalen move 3S 3E
Valus move 2E 2S
Esau move 2E 2S

rolled 98 = 98

>>15738251
In that case,
[Kalen] 4S 2E

[Valus] 2S 2E

[Esau] 2S 2E

>>15738254

I was totally certain mercs could use axes... Well, scratch that axe and replace it with a Vulnerary, then. Good catch, thanks.

Also, the boss is the gentlemen with blonde hair and green trousers.

>>15738251
I guess this would do?

Esau: Move 2 S 2 E
Valus: Move 1 S 2 E
Kalen: Move 3 S 3 E

>>15738305

Yeah, mercs only use swords, they gain the ability to use axes when they promote.

Also, since the green one isn't a recruit...
Kalen 1N 5W
Esau 4W
Valus 4W

Plan is to get to the forests, using them as cover. Esau baits the bandits, Valus and Kalen finish them off. This goes doubly true for the archers. If the caravan can move, hopefully it can break east, away from danger.

>>15738305
Er...does that mean that he is 'not' a recruitable enemy?

>>15738338

Looking closer at the enemy leader, Esau identifies him as Uri, a local boy who fell in with a bad crowd. For a short time, Esau tried to train Uri in fighting, with the intention to make him a soldier, but he lacked the discipline.

Oh hey, nice to see someone picking up on this.

>See map.

EEK. So. The party is level one. Outnumbered three to one. Every single one of the enemy is advantaged against our lord. And there's no choke points. Or even forest between us and the enemy.

MUMMY.

>>15738337
Now that we know that Esau knows the boss, should we continue with going around east and use the forests there, and have Esau engage Uri?

rolled 11 = 11

>>15738411
Yeah, I saw the map and cringed a little. Hardmode, and I don't think our lord is going to be doing much leveling today.

>>15738411
Nah, we've spent years training. Surely we're a bit better than these guys? Still, our best bet is to engage from the forests, like others have said.

>>15738454

banking on a recruitable boss? It's a risky move, since we're less likely to be able to pick up forest defensive bonuses - the two brigands to the east will likely force us to fight on the plains

UGH. I've been wanting to play this game so much recently, but I can't find my cartridge.

Thanks for reminding me. Time to rip apart my house again.

I'll give you 5 minutes to reach consensus for this turn. After that, I will draw your movement and the enemy movement, and it will be your turn again.

rolled 21 = 21

>>15738312
I'll roll with this, then.

>>15738337

rolling in support of Cid's plan, mine just leads to us getting rolled in the plains. Hopefully I don't mess up dice as much as I messed up trip a few posts back

>>15738608

He says, forgetting his dice

>>15738617

Twice, it seems.

Half of the bandits pursue you. Uri bellows at the others to stay with the cart and keep it from escaping.

Shit, you're right. I blame the fact that it's 4 in the morning where I'm at. Well, let's just retcon that bandit away, shall we? You guys have enough enemies to fight as it is.

rolled 10 = 10

>>15738818
>SHHH, I think OP is making them less killy.

>>15738818

The bandit to the west has run off to find my brain. We've also seen a palette swap and what appears to be Valus and Kalen occupying the same square

>>15738798
Anyways, I'm going to second this plan for movement.

>>15738816

Well, anon has pretty much won this roll, and the plan's a good one

>>15738831

Well we can let them have the first hit in the forest, or we can try to wipe them out before it becomes a problem. Me? I'm for striking first while they're separated.

Going to favor Cormag's idea here.

>>15739091
Indeed. The dice gods don't seem very favorable of us right now at all... Luckily these are all rolls that don't affect things hopefully.

>>15739098

As a matter of fact, the player characters are all created by /tg/ input. So you do get to play your own character as well as give input to the Lord.

rolled 6 = 6

>Well we can let them have the first hit in the forest, or we can try to wipe them out before it becomes a problem. Me? I'm for striking first while they're separated.

Agreed. Priority should be taking out the Archers; they are damage bonused against the lord and, unless they go for the mage, won't give us counterattacks.

Esau: Move 2S 1E Attack E

I'm kinda reluctant to roll with Cormag's idea, just because I'd really prefer losing one attack and being certain of one kill against an archer to possibly failing to kill any of them and letting them have all three attacks next turn.

>>15739094

I'm this guys

My reasoning was to kill one of the archers at the very least, with the mage being safe from the pirate

>>15739119
Having re-read this a bit more carefully, i will consider it. for now i will just be monitoring, and searching for a face sprite

>>15739174
>>15739172
Okay, I see your point. But Kalen is using a lance that's weak against axes.
If you move him down, he can become vulnerable to 2 bandits, rather than just one.
How's this:

Kalen: Move 1S 3E Attack N
Valus: Attack 2S 1E
Esau: Move 2S 1E Attack E

Esau is using a sword, which is strong against the axe wielded by the west bandit that could try to attack him.

5 minutes to consensus, gentlemen.

rolled 7 = 7

>>15739271
This sounds pretty legit to me.

>>15739271
That's almost exactly what I said, but I had Valus attacking the Brigand. And, does he even have that kind of range?

rolled 6 = 6

>>15739029
Oh derp just realized that I switched Valus and Esau in this

[Kalen] 2E Attack E

[Esau] 1S 2E Attack S

[Valus] 3S attack either one.

Is what I meant. Not that it matters now, but figured I should fix it all the same.

>>15739326
Brigands can move 4.
Also, you have the attacks spaced out of one of us for each of them.
My attack plan concentrates Valus and Kalen on the nearest archer, and Esau on the second.
It assures a kill on at least 1 archer unit.

>>15739326

He does indeed. Valus can attack at a range of 1-2 squares.

>>15739348
Oh, well that is good to know, thank you Malys.
>>15739345
I see your point, yes, and keeping Valus in the forest would keep him safer if the Brigand attacked him. Alright, I'm changing my vote to:
>>15739271

Kalen deals 10 damage to archer (7 hp remaining)
Valus deals 8 damage to archer, killing the archer
Esau deals 10 damage to archer (6 hp remaining)

ENEMY TURN

rolled 3 = 3

>>15739504
Western bandit disappeared again, looks like.

Valus deals 8 damage to archer, killing the archer.

Archer hits Kalen for 3 damage
Kalen counters for 8 damage, killing the archer.

Brigand hits Kalen for 5 damage
Kalen counters for 9 damage (Brigand has 15 HP left)

INTERMISSION

>>15739528

Clearly the woods are haunted.

>>15739583

Impatient, one of the bandits takes off to join the fight instead of guarding the wagon. Inside the wagon, a faint rustling is heard, and a whisper.

"...now is our chance... Hit it, grandpa! Head north and try to escape, I'll create a diversion and make sure they can't follow!"

You see a flash of brilliant auburn hair as a slender girl tumbles out of the cart. It's Fryn, the Bronze Blur, one of your retainers!

"Ah, mylord Kalen, you're here! Now this will be much easier than I expected!"

[also, westernmost bandit is back in business, thanks for the reminder]

And on this note, I must call it a day since it's 6 AM and I must sleep. It's been fun, guys, join me again at 21 PM GMT on Monday.

>>15739699
Shouldn't that second archer be dead?
According to the play-by-play, both archers were killed.

>>15739768

You are absolutely right. Here's the corrected map.

Also, I would appreciate it very much if someone archived this thread for later.
