day 2
Last we left off, we had recently launched a joint expedition north alongside the elves against the orcish raiders, the expedition was a total success, with the orcs caught in an ambush and annihilated.
3 orcs were captured and interrogated, revealing the politics of a fractured by dangerous orcish residing to our north, that when united under a strong leader, could not only overpower our own settlement, but be a threat to all of civilization.
What shall we do with the prisoners?
A. Attempt to enthrall them(roll)
B. Turn them
C. Execute them
D. Release them
E. Absorb their souls, increasing Camilla's own power
F. Other

The largest of the 3, Yarg, leads our new orc allies back towards orc lands, adorned with human equipment they "looted" in the battle against the humans.
With a decent cover story and some fake loot, they are able to rejoin the raiders without suspicion.

The arcane laboratoy gives Camilla a place to practice and gain knowledge of her own magical skills, and can provide a place to train and house other mages in the future
Our orcish spies inform us that the orcs have formed a powerful warhost under a massive greenskin named Karn the undefeated
Karn is apparently knowledgeable in human warfare tactics from years of fighting against(and rumors of living in) the northern human realms.
Unfortunately he has decided to focus to the south, directly in the path of our settlement...

A river fort is constructed, with two strong watchtowers on either side of the river, in addition a massive chain was forged, taking several weeks to build and slung between the two towers, lying the rivers bottom, until pulled into position, allowing us to control passage and force any traffic to come under archers in our towers.
There is currently a baby boom in our settlement and several young human thralls have come of age

A. The arts of war, let them join our army
B. The greeds of the earth, let them become miners

>>46023914
>>46023900
>>46023966
>>46023969
Our warriors have developed superior infantry tactics,locking large shields together to protect them, while still allowing them to use their spear or sword. Excellent for defensive situations and holding enemy units in place, allowing them to get pounded by archers,magic and cavalry.
A few weeks later, the council(the players) are awoken in the middle of the night, for an arrival of a lone Elven ranger, delivering the warning that orcs are in the area, and that we should keep close to our settlement for safety.
The orc host numbers almost 100, and are led by a devious leader, knowledgeable in the ways of man.
How do we deal with the orcish host?
A. Harass the host with skirmishes and ambushes, but do not engaging them at full strength(Optional:Request Elven Assistance)
B. Force a directconfrontation(Optional:Request Elven Assistance)
C. Join forces with Elves, sending most of our strength to the Elven village
D. Hold fast
E. Other(write-in)
>A request cannon fodder
>>46024042

>D. Hold fast
Fuck orcs. If they want to kill us in our sleep, let them try and get through our walls.

>E. Have the turned orcs murder the orc leader
>>46024084
I like this one so I vote for it.
>>46024258
>>46024084
Camilla explains the plan to the men, we create a fake camp in the night, using tents and campfires, leaving it unguarded and in the path of the orcs. When they attack the camp, our men will allow them to enter,before revealing themselves and attacking the orcs.
Do you wish to Request Elven aid?
A. Yes
B. No
>>46024392
>A. Yes
>>46024392Do the Elves know we're vampires?
>>46024392
A. Yes. Better they take the brunt of the assault
>>46024440
No, as far as they are concerned, we are just another group of humans,(that might act a bit odd, but the knife-eaters are too arrogant to notice)
>>46024392
>B.No
Never trust an elf
>>46024470
If that's the case, I vote A for them to be the bait while we ambush the orcs.
>>46024503
>>46024417
>>46024448
An emmisary bearing the request for aid is sent, and 20 Elven Rangers are sent back with him, Joining our fully mobilized force of 50 troops. 40 infantry and 10 archers, with 10 of them being warriors, the other 40 being militia.
Please a 1d100+(10) to determine the result of this battle
I will take the average of the first 3 rolls
>>46024475
Under most cases, I'd agree with you.
That being said, this is a chance for Elves to take some casualties. I'm not passing that up

average of 76.3 a decent success(that 100 saved you guys from that terrible first roll)
The orcs are succesfully enticed by the smell of meat roasting on some of the campfires, and are drawn into camp. After 50 enter, our men reveal themselves, hemming the orcs in, and allowing archers to pick them off. The orcs are slain to the last, but we lost a dozen men in the process, with the elven rangers losing 3 themselves, forced into melee against orcs outside the killzone.
Unfortunately Karn the undefeated arrived at the scene with the rest of his host and immediately engaged our army.
Our men are able to reform, into a battered but steady battle-line
I will now take another set of d100s to determine the result of this action

>>46024911
The battle ends inconclusively with, both sides clashing for several hours, the orcs hitting the shieldwall multiple times before being repulsed completely, Karn falling back with a handful of orcs in tow.
Unfortunately the losses were high, with another dozen dead, and 6 men badly wounded.
But for now the threat of the orc horde has passed.
