War Of Provinces [dead]

I'll just start cooking the fish

 

You saw the face and recall that it could've been attributed to an animal, like a large gopher of some sort. But then you recall, also, that it had a particularly long nose...

The giant wall seems to be soundproof, but not completely. It may not block out the waving noise of incoming marching armies... which you notice, one by one, heading from the south.

There are about four normal-sized armies, accompanied by a small trebuchet that can launch a 90 kilogram projectile over 300 meters. One of the commanders walks up to you and asks you, "Mo'in Commander Tsu. As you can see, Asner has sent a couple armies to break down this massive stone wall and figure out what Bucie is up to. He has not particularly told us to attack the citizens and soldiers, but if there is need, we will. We will proceed on your command. Oh, and I should ask, where is the rest of your army?"

[You left half your army scouting around the wall...]

You layer the fire with the salmon Fredrick caught for you. The souls gasp in surprise and stagger back from the fire, and turn towards you. One of the figures steps forth.

"I'm terribly sorry, mister, for the frustrating inconvenience my brethren here has caused. Tell us, what you need from us." the soul says.

"I have discovered a way to create an antidote for the decay, only problem is that i need a hint of a river soul"

 

So of not much importance in the current situation

"I left them around Bucie to scout the area."
Start walking back and converse with the other commander.
"I believe it would be better for you to command, as I don't often use tactics to fight."
"Additionally, your forces make up a larger amount of the army, and I don't know how they fight."

 

"Thank you once again." I say, before heading to a place where I can craft the shovels.

 

"So... you need us to be mixed into a potion of some sort? Very well, very well. I doubt my cowards-- I mean brothers, will want to join you in this antidote-brewing, so I myself will help you." The soul steps forward. "Allow me to enter your satchel." The soul climbs up your back and dives in your satchel. The rest of the souls, however, continue dancing around the fire, as if nothing happened.

[Just curious... are you planning to make enough antidote to cure all of the decay in Gavel?]

"Yes, yes, that is very true. It definitely makes sense that we would command our own armies for better efficiency. So... should we strike now?"

You head back to your dwelling and find a crafting table in the attic.

 

As an end goal yes, for starters as much as i can without harming the souls just to see if it works.

"I thank you for your help" I'll keep cooking until the fish is done and then eat it to recover some hp

 

"We'll see if my forces discovered anything. Then we move on your call."
-----
Have hey discovered anything? >.>

 

I craft as many shovels as I can.

 

well... I was gonna say you can't, but I'll let you try ;)

A muffled voice of thanks comes from your satchel.

Your army rests by the fire and waits till all the fish is cooked. You have enough to feed your whole army, you notice.

Do you want to share all the food with your army, or store some for later?

[You'd have to call them back, like you can just say "call my army back" to see what news they bring.]

"Alright, commander."

You craft five shovels for your army. Not everyone will receive one, but it might as well do a good job of digging sand.

 

Sharing is caring

 

I call my army back.

 

I head back to my men so we can start digging some sand.

 

You, with the help of your army's swords and daggers, cut up the salmon into quarters and distribute the food among your army.

[RNG for effectiveness is rolled...]

You and your army have never tasted such delicious cooked fish before. You feel a bit more energized (+7 HP) and so does your army. (+3 AS)

Blue Battle Sage has 11/38 HP, 84.2 AS, and 30e.

You proceed to call your army back, and your soldiers come around the corner of the wall to greet you. They have no news, other than that they saw a "kicked over bush."

Your men are actually not too far away...

You try to distribute the shovels as equally as possible, but some soldiers do not receive one, as you had expected.

 

Hehe
-----
"Your call, commander."

 

Now i'll head off to cinfras

 

"To those without shovels, you can help out in the transportation of the sand." I say. I am going to head to the nearest beach with my men to start digging.

 

"Okay. We'll just stall for a bit while I and the rest prepare their armies. I suggest you do so as well."

You and your army start marching towards the city, but as you are about to exit the Forest, you feel a sharp pain in your leg. Must be one of the effects from the fight with the revenant, you think.

As you and your army near Cinfras, you find yourself unable to march at normal speed, so you tag behind your army while your second in command leads the way. Eventually, you do enter the gates of Cinfras.

Your men nod in agreement.

You head down to the beach opposite the docks, where there is more sand.

 

I'll go to the closest in or tavern abd ask if i could rest for a bit

 

The Cinfras Tavern, as the receptionist tells you, is full, and that to rest would cost a fee of 2 emeralds.
