Re: The War in the Core

So, assuming that almost all Falkovnian troops are either occupying Richemulot or bogged down in Borca, once she has liberated St Ronges and Mortigny she can order infected Talons into cells to await execution (maybe she wants/plans to have some show trials to demonstrate Richemuloise "justice...

Re: The War in the Core

So that's Verbrek sorted (unless anyone's got anything to add all ideas welcome) Before turning our attention to the war in the east, I wanted to drill down a bit into the detail of the Richemuloise counter offensive. So to briefly recap the events leading up to the counter offensive: Falkovnian fo...

Re: The War in the Core

Nathan Timothy won the fight, but lost his business (it was never about the money, but his pride) All the rest of this is good, just to clarify this one point, he lost his profits from his initial plan/had to break out some of the red ink, he could still do business if he wants to,rebuild but now t...

Re: The War in the Core

OK so if Alfred is torching the warehouses, guns and all, does that alienate the sheepskinners (who after all, know how much money they were worth)? Granted they've never been solid for Alfred, but IIRC they make up a larger portion of Verbrek than the primals and primitives combined, so it wouldn'...

Re: The War in the Core

Oh hey, I don't find that insulting, yeah there's definitely some of that going on, there's no list, but if I get an idea or an image in my head that I think is cool, then I do try and wiggle things to make that happen. But I need to be called out on when I push it too far, particularly for this th...

Please, Azalin, is clearly Statler or Waldorf (maybe both?) a bitter old man whose only amusement in life now comes from positioning himself above others and mocking everything they do while calling them by belittling nicknames.

Re: Genre savvy NPCs

About Gwydion, I am not so sure. He has sent people out to learn IIRC (or that could be my campaign, not sure) but I don't think he realized what happened. Honestly I think all Gwydion knows for sure is *(Y&#($&(#%&#_@%&_#$#&*@_$&*#$&@! I'M STUCK IN THIS &*(^&(%#...

Re: The War in the Core

Ha, yeah, I wasn't suggesting they keep the grain, but I would like to make an argument for them keeping the guns, if I may Firstly, the image of wolf-men, with feathers in their hair and war-paint, brandishing fire-arms is freaking awesome! If I could make a convincing case for them riding horses ...

Re: The War in the Core

What you're saying makes sense , Nathan is unlikely to be lured off his boat anywhere that Alfred might try to confront him,ie. Verbrek so the fight wouldn't give Alfred anything that he wanted from it . So, for the moment, let's say the fight doesn't happen yet. Nathan is just going to take the op...

Re: The War in the Core

The thing is I always imagined that Alfred would want to engineer it so as to create the maximum number of witnesses to his victory , he needs to prove himself as much to his followers as to his father IMHO Might it be possible for Nathan to win, but in such a way that Alfred could spin it so the v...

Re: The War in the Core

So Nathan succeeds in humiliating Alfred, and refrains from killing him, that in itself would probably trigger a civil war in Verbrek, the the werewolves losing confidence in Alfred's leadership. It seems to me that if we want to turn Nathan into the south western cores version of the Lord of War, ...

Re: The War in the Core

Speaking of criticising Alfred, what do we imagine Nathan's part in all this is? I've already suggested that Alfred might be hoping for a confrontation with his father by attacking Karina, where Nathan has several business interests, would that work? Or would Nathan move on, possibly for fear of be...

Re: The War in the Core

Yes, the wererats are hanging back waiting for the signal. I was thinking that Jacky might sacrifice a few militia units to Drakov's advance, so as not to tip him off that something's up. For Drakov's part, he's mostly just delighted that the Richemulotese are facing him in open battle "like m...

The Axis Attacks 1. Following the assassination of Ivana Boritsi, Mallochio Aderre sends troops to attack Levcharest 2. At the same time Vlad Drakov sends troops to lay siege to Pont-a-Museau 3. Both men meet in Aerie 4. After successfully guiding Vlad Drakov across the border into Richemulot, Ader...
