OOC - Sorry for the delay guys but I have time to post now. Things may still be a bit busy for the next few weeks however, so I thought I better explain myself. Me and my girlfriend just found out we have a baby on the way and because of that and other things she is now temporarily living at mine. ...

I can't get a mod post in tonight guys, hit a bit of trouble IRL at the moment and simply don't have the energy or time after the week this is turning into. Some good has come with the bad however so it's not all doom and gloom, I'll explain that a bit better once I know for sure. Hopefully I will ...

I supposed that it was build like conventional castles. I.e. 1 small 1-footslogger gate, plus 1 large 1-chariot gate. Normally it is impossible to open it from outside. It is easy to close it from inside, and rather easy to open it from inside with 2 men (or rather elves). What I can't guess is whe...

It is true. The time they take to process orders is appalling. Their customer services are pretty dreadful too, they just tell you it will be there whenever it gets there. You can read about my last experience with them on Warseer, m 04/06/2012: I used Maelstrom Games for a couple of orders recently...

The battle raged on, the North Gate the last location in Vikarh still heavily contested by the intruding Northmen. Small contingents of their allies, the Orcs, Skaven and monsters, no doubt still prowled the streets further south, but their threat had effectively been ended. This fight was the last...

The mercenaries dismounted behind the Midnight Guardians, losing sight of the duel that was still raging at the front of the human regiment. Bane had taken a glancing hit from the great axe a moment ago, the blade shearing the severed head of Kirathi straight from her shoulder spike along with the ...

OOC - Locke was Fiats' dark steed, Caraoc took that one. I don't think Saldrimek ever named his steed, but he was the best rider amongst the group and his dark steed is the most experienced. When the others found him in the Northern Wastes he had already been riding it there for two years. IC - The...

The group begrudgingly accepted that they were to ride north again despite their aching limbs and weary minds, following their Lord out across the courtyard to the stables. They were all saddened by the deaths of Saldrimek and Fiat, including Varin himself, but the highborn offered the mounts of th...

For the first time in several hours, all the surviving members of the group were once again reunited in the Blackthorn estate. Although Casaythe and Caraoc had not officially been employed by Blackthorn yet or been wholly accepted by the other members of the group, their work together to bring Vari...

Caraoc, Elysian and Casaythe made it out of the library as it became engulfed in smoke and flame, descending the stone steps into the square. The Mages turned around as they reached the bottom, waiting for Casaythe to catch them up. Caraoc was already summoning a great jet of Azyr energy to give th...

In the east, the Beastlord lay slain by the three mercenaries thanks to a combination of poison, strength and sheer determination. Karonath lay injured however, and the challenge had proved to be a costly victory that had sapped the last of their strength. Fortunately the beastmen all around them d...

The Beastlord stood triumphantly over the three mercenaries for a moment, Vryala on the ground in front of it beside it's fallen sword, Phalx on his knees to the left where he had been kicked down. Karonath stood defiantly behind the creature, but she barely stood as high as the Beastlords' shoulde...

The altar in the antechamber had been no altar at all, but a black casket well disguised and holding some slumbering horror. A horror which, now that the secret vault had been opened, had awoken to guard House Tvars' greatest treasure. Caraoc immediately jumped to the worst conclusion and called ou...

Phalx joined the combat with the Beast Lord a moment after Karonath and Vryala did, running up behind his armoured companion with all earlier thoughts against the Warrior temporarily pushed aside. If anything their rivalry could at times like these give them strength, for the Shade was not about to...

Karonath, Vryala and Phalx paused momentarily amidst the slaughter that was to become known as the Great Battle for Vikarh. Any Beastman that had survived the passing of the Witches had fallen instead upon their blades, the three mercenaries following the direct path of the Hag, where the slaying h...

OOC - Dauricha, no problem. I'm sure Varin won't mind you making them into a feather duster and giving the estate a good spruce up IC - In the Tvar library, Caraoc and Elysian began to tear books from their dark wood cases, pulling armfuls of ancient texts off at a time and letting them crash grace...

I can get one if you want when I have the time. It is actually something I picked up from work which is meant as an aquatics decoration in a fish tank or something. Some of the other scenery pictured in my reports is reptile / fish decorations too.

Vryala resisted the urge to start attacking Phalx instead of the Cockatrice, despite the fact it was the creature that had caused them to crash together and his blade to nick her arm. She left the Shade on the ground and rounded on the monster once again, spinning around to face it and scanning her...

OOC - Sorry I'm late guys I was away visiting family at the weekend and despite taking my laptop just didn't find the time to post. Was supposed to have a warhammer game tonight but that was cancelled so more time to post tonight! IC - In the east, the Cockatrice continued to thrash and glide aroun...

I think it's good that we have our own weather forecaster now. Varin need never stop and wonder if he should take his umbrella out again

In the north, the mercenaries got past the skirmish unscathed only to catch up with the survivors that had fled through the crossbow killing zone. There were five of the big marauders, and both Elysian and Caraoc had worn their arcane abilities thin already, they couldn't afford to waste their prec...

He's a Shadowmancer, you can't sneak things like that past him <reply> I can go where I wish, I'm an Astromancer, I'm a pilot! CARAOC WAS HERE!

In the east, the harpies shrieked and slashed at the mercenaries, surrounding them in a flurry of claws. Stabbing wildly, Vryala decided to opt out of their current situation, knowing that now they had lost the advantage. She hurled a smoke bomb at her feet, and shouted out to her two comrades as s...

The harpies howled and shrieked as they came down, one after another after another bombarding Phalx, Vryala and Karonath from above like missiles. As they swept in, all three mercenaries slashed out with their blades, sometimes cutting through claws but otherwise just keeping the creatures' attempt...
