Fire Emblem: Magvel 803 - Alternate Story Act One

[Terrador]

Aolong is bleeding profusely, but he will not back down. Not when he can do this without any needless death. Pelmaza left the matter in his atrophied hands... and, handled carefully, he could defeat half of the opposition with the sharpest sword of all.

"Listen up! Ezekiel, take this man out (12,16)!"

If he lives...

"Damnation. Jason! Take him down (12,15)!"

Otherwise...

"Jason! Get close--we're going to need you soon (12,15)!"

"Clyde! Get to the village and tell them to board up! We don't want any of these people getting killed!"

"Cedric! Finish that brigand (5,16) and get over here (9,15)!"

If he lives...

"Impossible! Matthew, shoot him down (5,14) and make your way towards the village (5,12)! We've got to warn them!"

Otherwise...
"Matthew, get to that village (6,9) and make sure they board everything up! If any more of these bastards arrive, we're not letting them die!"

"Captain, by your leave, wait just a bit longer before engaging the regulars! Even if these civilians are going to listen to sense, it's going to take a moment for them to start running!"

In the unlikely event that the Bandit beside him lives, Aolong savages the bastard himself. If not, he moves to (10,13), two tiles up, and applies a salve. He addresses the Renais village once more:

"Flee, men and women of Renais! Decide: will you throw down your weapons, melt into the crowd, and survive to support your friends and families... or will you commit suicide at our hands? We are not here to kill; the decision is yours! Listen to reason, and we can all live to see another day!"

[Lupus]

Matt moves to follow the plan and is fully prepared to counter anybody who attacks him,including civilians

"Ain't anybody more important then me or Siegfried" he strokes his neck "i love you buddy"

[Clyde moves to village and enters]

" I am fully aware you do not like us, but bandits are approaching and I rather not see any death. So please board up, and we can take care of the bandits.Also, have any of you heard of a girl named Isabel passing through here?"

[Acacia Sgt]

"Understood!" At the given order, I went over to get in position to get a clear shot at the brigand. I pulled an arrow to the quiver, focused, and released.

[Moved to (12,16) and attacked the Bandit at (11,15).]

[riariadne]

Heeding orders once more, Jason once again judged that his idea was sound, despite his alarming lack of self-preservation.

Jason moves to (12, 15) and attacks with Fire if the bandit is still alive.

[Baldrick]

Cedric focuses on the bandit in front of him. The captain can handle the melee going on the middle, he thinks.

[Shin]

Matthew flies to (6,9), warning the village of the bandit attack!

"Thanks sonny boy. Nobody likes being attacked by bandits, you have our gratitude! You might be invading, but I'd rather that than be murdered by bandits."

Aolong moves to (10,13), appealing to the people of the village!

The citizens grumble amongst themselves!

One of the fighters call out!

"Your words are greatly apreciated... but as knights of Renais, we choose to fight until the end! Your fight is against us, not the villagers!"

Aolong drinks some magic juice!

He recovers 10HP

No civilian will be given up on. Not a one.

"Matthew, finish that Soldier (6,8 Iron Bow) and flee to safety (6,2)!"

"The rest of you... two columns. I'll front the right, and cue you to your positions. If I've not led you astray before, trust me one more time."

Aolong shoulders his lance read: unequips and approaches the child (14,10). A quick tap on the shoulder, followed by the offering of a purse (100 G).

"No need to starve." Aolong then turns to the man--the boy's father, presumably?

"And no need to leave him fatherless in a war-torn world, either."

He applies a salve, steeling himself for the inevitable attack to come; he cues the others into position with his off hand.

[Clyde: (13,11); that is, below the child
Jason: (13,12); that is, below Clyde

Cedric: (14,11); that is, below Aolong

Ezekiel: (14,12); that is, below Cedric.]

OOC:

Terrador, I assume you're banking on the civilian turning? In that formation, the civilian can attack you from (15,10) and the soldier from (14,9). By my calculations, the civilian does 6 damage and the soldier does 11, so if they both hit you will die.

Scanning the buildings to the north, Cedric could see a house with its gate unlocked, not far from where one of the peasants stood with garden tool raised. In the distance, there was another open house being guarded by another unmoving peasant. Coincidence, perhaps, but if they wanted to minimise casualties (and time spent in battle) they should not leave any stone unturned.

Cedric moves to (15,11)

[spoiler=OOC]No, I'm not. Ruins cannot be traversed. I'll ask Shin just to double-check, but I'm very nearly certain about this.

...wait, no, you're right. I'm going to rethink this, and have another plan in a few minutes.

The only plan I can think of that makes talking to the kid work requires Cedric to rescue Aolong. That's a pretty selfish prerogative in-character, but it really only inconveniences Baldrick and myself; everyone else is more-or-less doing the same ol' same ol'. I'll talk to Baldrick about it.

...and I just realized that the Civilian by the child can't be there. Ruins are 2-costing terrain; it would've taken 8 Move to get there.

The number of enemy soldiers was dwindling, it was time to finally approach the village proper. Ezekiel advanced forward, but still kept his distance. After all, it wouldn't do good to get into a bad position.

Seeing the enemy forces dwindle, Cedric felt a surge of adrenaline. They were nearly at the end of this horrid battle... "Axeman! Stand next to the captain at (12,12) and prepare to attack! Archer, back us up at (12,14)! The rest of you, get those civilians out of danger, one way or another!" He only hoped that dragoon knew what he was doing...

Cedric settled himself at the safe end of the formation at (15,11)

[4:47:36 PM] Alec: I walk up, start applying salve.

[4:47:53 PM] Alec: [i'm assuming this is 1-range and I can get a half-decent exchange in, right?]

[4:47:58 PM] Nelon: yes

[4:48:30 PM] Alec: "...Who is the child to you? Son? Nephew? Little brother?"

[4:48:41 PM] Nelon: "He is my brother's son."

[4:48:56 PM] Nelon: "Your kind have already had the pleasure of killing his father."

[4:49:30 PM] Nelon: "You will not take our village, we know what happens to villages captured by Grado."

[4:50:06 PM] Alec: "If you flee, we won't be able to catch you. War is a terrible thing, but... doesn't that boy need you? Why die here, in a battle you can't win?"

[4:50:24 PM | Edited 4:50:30 PM] Alec: Aolong, at this point, stows his spear and retrieves 100G. He offers the gold.

[4:50:35 PM] Alec: "Just in case."

[4:50:52 PM] Nelon: "I will fight for my brother's memory."

[4:50:56 PM] Nelon: "The boy still has his mother."

[4:51:39 PM] Alec: Aolong be pretty pissed at this point.

[4:52:27 PM] Alec: "Might as well take someone with you! Come on, take your best shot!!"

[4:52:34 PM] Alec: [NOTE: lance still stowed.]

[4:52:55 PM] Nelon: "I will then, Darrs, run!"

[4:53:33 PM] Alec: "You won't die by my hands, but you will die."

[4:55:15 PM] Alec: Barked at Darrs: "Go ahead! You and your mother won't be picked off by bandits inside of a week without your suicidal uncle around!!"

[4:55:50 PM] Nelon: the boy will flee, also because of Breezy's words

[4:55:56 PM] Nelon: but the man seems rather adamant

[4:56:05 PM] Nelon: it's unlikely he'll listen to anything more you've said

[4:56:16 PM] Alec: *nod*

[4:56:19 PM] Alec: I tried.

[4:56:31 PM] Alec: If they're going to take him down, they're going to take him down, but I won't do it myself.

[4:58:16 PM] Nelon: all is cruel in war, no?

[4:58:25 PM] Alec: *nod*

[4:58:38 PM] Alec: I'm assuming he didn't take my monies?

[4:58:48 PM] Nelon: he did not

"When the others catch up this place is ours! It's a shame those civilians from earlier were so noisy."

Seizing the opportunity, Jason made his way to behind the Soldier and set him ablaze (or fails to if he double misses or something I guess. I dunno yet).

Jason moves to (11, 10) and uses Fire on the Soldier.

[Baldrick]

[8:21:54 PM] Doug: "What's your angle?"

[8:23:00 PM] Cedric: "It's tragic, isn't it? The young boy escaped from the invading army, only to be cut down by bandits..."

[8:23:12 PM] Doug: "What! You said he could go!"

[8:23:45 PM] Cedric: "Go, yes. Nothing about protecting him along the way. The bandits are not our allies, either"

[8:24:00 PM] Doug: "Blast, I won't get there in time"

[8:24:51 PM] Cedric: "I suppose I could order my soldiers to rescue the boy... but it's difficult, since we have to fend off a shovel-wielding maniac at the same time"

[8:24:59 PM] Doug: "Grr...

[8:25:12 PM] Doug: "Save the boy, I surrender..."

[8:25:19 PM] Cedric: "Good man"

[8:25:22 PM] Doug: "Do what you like with me... just save him"

[8:25:35 PM] Doug: he drops his shovel

[8:26:07 PM] Douglas: "Wait, I recognise that bandit"

[8:26:14 PM] Cedric: "...?"

[8:26:16 PM] Douglas: "be careful, rumour is they have a powerful ally."

[8:27:01 PM] Cedric: "I see. We will be careful."

[8:27:34 PM] Cedric: "You and the boy can do as you please after the battle"

After this conversation, Cedric moves on to (10,10) and issues the following orders:

Aolong shoves Clyde to the left
