Campaign History

 

2.11

Despite this on Thorarseve 11th Augurs a large force of Alliance Troops, Smoot Corp, Eilinds, Ullratha and now Gardainians lands on the North shore of New Avmar. Their mission.....WAR

2.12

Following the short period of peace the rescue of Avmar's Occupied north and all its people began. A landing party of volunteers attacked the north East Coast to test the defences there and see what reliance was put in Sonnats Gil forces. Despite the assault group consisting of 200 Ullratha, Gardainian and Elindainian Elite none have managed to successfully report back at this point. It is assumed by the Alliance that we must fear the worst!


2.13

While this decoy was taking place three new waystation /forts were constructed on the near side of the Division mountains, separating the two war camps. For the duration these camps will be a focus for assaults on enemy held territory as well as a safe haven for Adventuring troops, who will be used as a primary line of defence. It goes without saying experienced military personnel from each of our divisions will also be stationed at these points, for support purposes. Free Avmar 1 is designated as the primary base for Evermorian and Ullratha related activity. Free Avmar 2 will be firstly for the Elindainian forces with Gardainian support. Free Avmar 3 will provide a general meeting and base from those not of the above two groups. Rovacaal, Elves, Privateers and any freelancers will again be supported by a powerful military presence.


2.14

Soon after the construction of these bases a MT unit of 40 Troops tested the defences, obviously their intelligence is shabby as the group were successfully intercepted by a joint Kleetian, Gardainian Unit, who all but decimated them. Unfortunately a small group managed to escape to the seaboard and cross to a farming island. Although a group of Adventurers managed to kill off a large number of these the CO and a few others drove them off, inflicting three casualties.


2.15

Following their primary agenda a group of Adventurers agreed to investigate the disappearance of a number of local villagers. The group encountered a weird Druidic portal and in another place made contact with a strange race. This race, resembling Spectres, assisted in the recovery of the misguided Villagers and no further event of note is reported for the moment.


2.16

Frears Eve saw a MT Sorceror probing the local defences of Free Avmar 1. No available personnel were able to cause any disruption to his activities and the rogue escaped unhindered. No casualties reported. For some time Adventurers have repeatedly met with surrender from MT Troopers over the course of events it was reasoned that this infact might be a ploy to get troops behind our lines. Working on this notion Alex Winter issued instructions that all prisoners were to be struck insane (by illusory power), leaving them incapable of wielding runes. This was a lucky guess and just in time as on Saturs Aft a large attack came from joint Gil and MT forces. These forces it was quickly realised had the objective of achieving the temporary holding cells at Free Avmar 1. The three MT Troopers, who again came in as surrendered prisoners, managed under Gil cover to achieve their objective and release their fellows. Finding them reaved of sanity the plan faltered and fled. Unfortunately in the process of fleeing they encountered Brother Damien of the Inner Flame who was at the time unguarded. Thinking quickly the MT section leader ordered their fellows restored to sanity. This achieved the attack began in earnest.


2.17

Although the Ullratha had prepared well it is of note that the Gardanian's, whose part in the war is paramount nor the Elinder's, had any response available to aid FAl. Gaunt, Feron and Feyd of the Fire Elves along with Phoenix Flame headed by Rasputin D'Silva (who commanded the defence) held their ground as best they could. Surely though, as the MT units seemed to become obsessed with winning the casualties started to mount. Finally Dos Fiad and Ghia were unleashed and it was certain a massacre would ensue. Gaunt and a few ragged defenders, including the shade of D'Silva stood against the destruction of FAl, after three days of operation. Then the timely arrival of Sekai (after a long absence), Eol Surefoot and his cousin Arafel along with Cumhal and a group of lower rank bravo's turned the tide. Despite the forces of our enemies being driven off many who took part are now to grievously wounded.


2.18

After the attack Allies and reinforcements arrived en masse, but found little to do. Council has been held to consider a spread of forces so as also to share capabilities equally.


2.19

That evening a session of the High Table was called that had a number of incidents worthy of the telling. Firstly after the adventure reports Galen, executive of the Path Finders gave himself up for trial. Despite a spirited prosecution he was found guilty of dereliction only, but as sentence was being passed Erith Thane appeared and grasped the Dusk Island captain saying Dusk would pronounce judgement on those of Dusk and no other! Later, whether by accident or design, Hawley Smoot entered, as did Gaunt. The two Were-creatures shifted and fought, but as they did many others became embroiled. A huge fight ensued during which Smoot, Aglar, Feron and many more of lesser rank perished. Ken and Ezikiel then entered to announce Smoot Corp. taking the MT banner after the attack on their grandmaster. A compromise resulted in the death of Gaunt and finally Alex Winter, who didn't seem to be himself at all during the incident.


2.20

Eventually an uneasy truce was reinstated and whatever is to follow must be remembered to have its origins in this event.


2.21

During the rest of the table before and after this incident a strange race of Stygian like people sent a representative who claim we hide Tamoo and they need to consult with him urgently. Another group of MTs surrendered and claimed they genuinely did wish to join Phoenix Flame since the Alliance with the Gil. They then went on to claim they knew of 100 other like themselves. Brother Tyler came with Cumhal and pointed out the capture of three Inner Flame by Manticore Talon and issued a threat of withdrawal unless more security is taken with his order.


2.22

Harton Maidir attended soon after the Gaunt, Smoot Fracas and issued an impassioned plea for peace and harmony amongst alliance allies.


2.23

As of spring 5865 DRE Manticore Talon and their allies have inflicted some 400 casualties on Alliance forces in New Avmar and have taken nearly 200 other prisoners. This number includes a large number of Inner Flame and Healers of other types. To date the Alliance has recovered 180 Manticore Talon bodies and about 150 Gil, Xxill Corp. As well as this around 90 MT prisoners still await judgement in holding Cells.
