>still crazy busy, it'll get back to normal by the end of May >last time: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/14650207/ >the irc on sup/tg/ is #CommanderQuest The rest of the day passes uneventfully, save the stench of burning corpses. The enemy dead on your walls yield enough oil for each Valkerie to carry one pot of the stuff. Much to your surprise, most of the riders already have leather straps on the repeaters you gave their unit, so that is not something you have to see to. The clouds on the distant horizon are dark, though there is almost no wind. At the northern sally port you can hear the confused panic of the prisoners as they are herded into the space within the wall, soon, very soon your plan will swing into motion, but not so soon that you will be unable to change anything at the last moment if need be.

"The attack is just now beginning" Bellatrix announces for Aurelius, surrounded by several of his deadeyes, the man no doubt in the tower on the opposite side of the gatehouse. Off to your left you see the sally port open, and the frightened convicts spill out into the dead fields. They begin moving towards the enemy camp cautiously, though before they are clear of the walls shadow you can see them changing. Even at a distance the process is horrifying to behold, though, their rags of clothing leave most of them stark naked. The howling of the minotaurs draws the enemy camps attention fairly quickly, and more than a few are taken down by panicked, blindly fired arrows before they reach the camp. the carnage is impressive when the minotaurs finally do reach the enemy camp. Minutes later, your valkerie riders make their run, only three of them falling from the sky as they spread fire and disease to the enemy forces. The chaos continues for hours, though it would seem that the enemy commander keeps his arcanists near his siege engines as only a few catapults are lost, along with what you believe were several stacks of ladders. The madness is done before midnight, but judging by the increased watch after the last fires are out you believe that the attack had the desired effect, more or less.

Ah well; we still achieved our primary objective.
Now let's see if any of the were-minotaurs survived their first sortie.

>>14731877 Hmm. Well, if we were lucky, we might have killed an elementalist or two but I won't hold my breath. Any idea on how much damage might have been caused in terms of troop damage? Unless it's a decent amount, the attack didn't do as much damage as I would have hoped. But that was to be expected with their elementalists protecting their equipment so well.
Anyone have ideas on how we can deal with Sansa and Seventus since sending out Aquilla at this time is likely suicidal for him?
Maximus
>>14731877 Hmmm. At this point, all we really can do is wait. Perhaps have a meeting with the commanders/our vet's and see if they have anything to say but I can't think of anything off the top of my head on what we should do. Unless we might want to talk to Garagush to see if we can potentially get a boon to let our men fight regardless of hunger that might happen later on in the siege. Probably best to see if we can arrange that ahead of time.

I think we should have a chat with him. We've known what he's done and hate the idea that we may one day share his fate, but because we may share that fate, we should try to give him some form of redemption.
Degnar is at war and his trial would be a waste of effort better spent on slaying enemies. Die a hero of the empire against a hated foe, while your transgressions are quietly rectified where possible.
Best case, he writes a note to the 2nd explaining his crimes and those that are innocent, begging for the 2nd's forgiveness for dishonoring the legion, signs it, and then dies a hero for the empire.

The next morning you set out to see if any survivors had returned to the city. You find a few huddled in the sally port, naked, shivering and covered in blood. 5 of them all told, three humans and a pair of dwarfs, all male. "Are you the only survivors?" you ask, signalling for cloths to be brought for them.
"Yes" one of the dwarfs croaks, his voice sounding as if he had swallowed sand, a haunted look in his eyes.
Within minutes a man arrives with cloths for them, and once dressed, you bring them to your barracks, into the meeting hall where command staff meetings would normally be held. "How much damage di you do, what tdid they have for siege equipment, arcanists, what do you remember?" you ask the men, as a prisoner-servant pours all of you glasses of water.
"I..." one of the men begins, stopping to think, and physically recoiling, one of the dwarfs retches off the side of the table, chunks of flesh clearly visible in the small puddle of bile. "They had the depleted units to the outside of the camp. We... ate" he forces the word out" a good portion of several of those units, only a handful left from most of them."
The dwarf that hadnt vomited speaks up "Your velkeries took a good eighth of their smaller siege engines by my estimate, and half of their ladders, but the towers and trebuchets had some sort of arcana protecting them, and robed engineers running around them like madmen making sure they hadn't set on fire. A few of us tried to get to them, but the arcana just... it cut them in half when we got too close to an engineer to frightened to run." he describes what you are almost certain are mages and elementalists, and considering how dark it was, this dwarf was no doubt turned from the siege engines by a Shadow Mage.
