The Silhouette, New Vivec.




The Silhouette looked at his large army, it was ready now. All areas north of vivec, were under watch so no surprises would come. And the army now came. Their march could be heard for miles. Thousands poured onto the field in perfect order.

"Sir are there any orders we should know about?" said an orc captain.

"Move towards the city, take no prisoners." The Silhouette said with a bone chilling voice. He rode on his durzog, up and down the lines the army cheered as he rode by. Soon the catapults, trebechets, and ballistas were brought up and the city was now in sight.

"Fire!" shouted all the orc captains. Soon all artillery fired upon the city, though the wall didn't sustain to much damage, the rocks that made it over the city cause a lot of damage. The thousands of archers moved forward and fired upon the ordinators on the wall. The battle began, and the Silhouette smirked at Megil's alarm, it wouldn't do any good.

ooc:can my guy scome in?

Stauros and Delfran->Balmora

Stauros was just about to respond when he heard the thunderous noise from Vivec. "wow, the day is full of coincidences." Stauros hopped onto the chariot, and yelled out to the troops.

"Everyone! I'm sure you know what that noise means, that the great Vivec is underattack. We will ride at top spead and get there within the day."

The troops looked at each other then started talking about how it was impossible and the like.

"Everyone! I know it seems absurd but, if Azura wills it we shall be there soon."

Stauros bent over and told Delfran, "You know were I keep the set" Stauros handed Delfran an amulet. "Take this and use it on the door, hurry back."

Stauros turned back to the Troops. "Lets get organized, 3 rows and top spead every move!" Stauros stood in the chariot as the troops got in possition and Delfran arrived back and handed the set to Stauros.

"Thanks Delfran, now hop on a kagouti and may Azura be with you."

"yes sir and here," He handed Stauros the knife, "I got it off of a looter it might come in hand later on."

Stauros nodded and stashed it in his belt and turned to Dalrus. "Shall we ride?"

ooc:Whew... any obections please contact yours truely

OOC: No that post is fine, though they will have to enter by ship into the city, cause the Silhouette army is WAAY to big for them to fight on field.


Dalrus, Balmora


"Yes men prepare for battle, we go to ola had (sp?)" The group poured out of the city gate, followed by the infantry, the people of Balmora all had worried looks, it must have been something big, if Megil's army couldn't quell it easily.

Stauros->Balmora

Stauros went out with the troops and headed for Hla Oad (I found the name).

"SO why are we going to Hla Oad? shouldn't we be headed for Vivec?" Stauros streched his bow, "Wow, I haven't used this thing in years and it feels like I just used it yesterday."

New Vivec

"Sir they brought siege weaponry"

"It doesn't amtter, the surface can be fixed, they lack the power to penetrate the true fortress,"

"Yes sir,"
______________________________

Ballista's on the towers were being used to fire at the enemy, primarliy at the siege weaponry. Archers fired volley after volley past the shields that were being used to protect the archers. with the height advantage the archers focaused beyond th enemies archers and intot he heart of the army, the Durzog riders.

Meanwhile, sylphs emerged from the water's edge. Slythe and serptenlike, the sylphs moved on teh archers their glimmering scales serving as armor against the arrows, and reflective against most magics.
______________________________

Megil had a book of magick so powerful it required multiple mages to cast. while he had no intent on using it yet, it would prove useful later. Many of the spells had been imbued as the city was built, just awaiting the proper trigger. Like the last battle of Vivec, the city itself would act as a trap.

The Hall was alive with reports, not that it was necesary since the battle could be seen from the upper story windows. The hall was situated out of range of even the farthest range siege weaponry. so Megil could see as the battle occureed in front of him.

"They have only so much ammunition, and as of yet none of the walls have yet to fail. Begin assembling our own siege weaponry outside of the enemies range. Their melee crew will have a surprise waiting for them if they decide to storm the walls."
______________________________
From storage rooms in the undercity the precut lumber and supplies were pulled for the artillery, within a half hour Vivec would hve assembled and ready siege weaponry.

The Silhouette, Battle of NV



The Silhouette looked with anger upon the fireing ballisti, though it didn't matter much, stones were being taken from everyplace, and the battle would end before they ran out. Even then they could just go to the mountains just north or pelegiad. The Silhouette, and the durzogs left out of archer range, and went off towards the back of the army. The archers pulled back into line, once seeing that the sylphs could overwhelm them easily.

More rocks were fired, though this time at the enemy balisti. Many hit the ballisti, however they loss a lot as well. The Silhouette siglned for their units to move forward onto the walls, though only a quarter of them. They came with siege towers, and soon the battle for the walls began. Goblins poured over, killing and being killed by many ordinators. They went crazy, now it would just be a matter of how the battle played out. The Silhouette told the moldair to stay, and jumped up towards the walls, grabbing onto a ladder.

Finally on top of the wall, he slashed three ordinators instantly, and fired magic at others

Vivec

OOC: don't forget the magicka drain is active

With the siege weaponry, built, The ordinators began firing exploding debris over the walls and into the enemy, engulfing them in flames. Several struck the siege towers, but some still got through. just beyond the wall the streets were empty.
____________________________

"Prepare for level 2 defense" Megil said over the balcony.

Deep within the city, gears moved silently into place as more silver was attached to the batteries, increasing their draining abilities. Vivec's mark protected those who bore the special ink. They could now access the Magicka within the batteries. The enemy on the otherhand could not, since none knew the secret.

A Shield appeared around the Hall of Justice.

The most powerful Mages in Vivec lined the upper balconies, all ready to rain fire, frost, energy, and mental attacks against the far off enemy as they entered the city. Defensive Mages stood between the offense, ready to heal, and to throw back any attack by the enemy.

Yet apart from the Wall one could not see what went on in the City, for the surface lay silent.

sry its been a while...

Osano--Vivec

Osano prepared for another attack against Lyakon, when the sirens of Vivec began crying. Osano, not knowing the events that had occured, and were occuring, to Vivec thought these sirens were for him. "Heh, it appears I must leave, my friend. We will meet again soon," as he said this he flung his cloak over him completely and as a light breeze blew, the cloak fell to pieces and drifted away, Osano nowhere to be seen. (i guess it could be considered teleportation, but he is still in vivec, and its more of a power than a spell so...)

OOC: eh, where is endris and amili, i forget... i kinda skipped through the last 2 pages, but i believe they have been locked out of vivec....

Amili, Outside New Vivec

Amili stood beside Endris on top of a hill looking towards New Vivec.

"It seems that we need to go somewhere else until this battle dies; I don't know who's fool enough to attack the city, but whoever they are, they'll die the same in a day or two."

OOC: there you go shogun.

Sel, New Vivec

"What the he- I mean, what's happening?" Sel asked, almost forgetting not to swear in front of Leni.

"Maybe we should see if our help is needed."

Akar, On the Road

"We continue west, I guess." Akar said after making sure that Dahleena was safely on the ground.

The Silhouette, New Vivec




ooc: he has to be able to use magic to some extent otherwise that's not fair.


The Silhouette continued slashing at the many ordinators littering the walls. The main force had set up camp a mile away, and stones poured into the city. Now from outside the wall, magic was hurled at the mages, along with countless arrows. A fleet of reavers had just landed, and the Silhouette looked towards them, they poured onto the shore. He then returned to his fighting.

Attack phase two came, this time, the stones thrown into the city were covered in pitch and lit aflame, and hurled forward. The Silhouettes hurled spells from outside of the city's magic barriers.


Dalrus, Balmora outskirts



"Well i suppose you're right, we won't be able to get any ships. We head for vivec" she said talking to stauros and then teh group. There were 150 riders now, though not nearly enough

Serene, New Vivec

"Silly dunmer, of course I´m doing it for you!" she said smiling!, then she also heard the noise from outside....and went out on the porch together with Sel to see what was going on
"Oh my......"


Dahleena, On the Road

"Yeah,.....west it must be" Dahleena shrugged, happy to be away from the water, "I´m hungry, isn´t here a plantation nearby? Maybe we could get something to eat?"


OOC: Dren plantation is on their way, maybe they could go there...

OOC : Isn't Dren dead though? thought he died in Morrowind

Stauros->Balmora Outskirts

"Okay sounds good to me. So any ideas what we should do when we get there?" Stauros looked and saw a sign post for Pelgaid. "Hmm seems were are almost there." The sceanery was rushing past them as them pushed onward to Vivec.

Dalrus, Pelegiad



"Well for all we know its only a fire, a big fire, but i suppose we should find out what's going on first, and then we'll talk then, though it couldn't be an army, none of the houses would try something like that, at least not untill Megil takes a side" she said driving her chariot

ooc: "he has to be able to use magic to some extent otherwise that's not fair."

Agreed some magic, just know that overall the enemies available Magicka has been terribly decreased due to the leach. but war is far from fair. The defensive end has the advantage in this case, since you chose to attack a well armed fortress of a city

Vivec

The spells struck the outer magical barrier, protecting the mages within the city. Megil laughed as the lit artillery was launched over the walls.

"What do they think that a city of stone will burn? don't quench the flames, it will act as a barrier from their further progress into the city. The winds are blowing inland, so prepare to launch one batch o the mortal weapons."
___________________________________________
the Ordinators on the Walls continued to fight against the horde, managing with the aid of Mages to destroy several of the siege towers.
___________________________________________
Meanwhile, at the trebuhets in the inner city, Large netch leather sacks where being positioned.

"FIRE!"

the sacs flew over the wall and into the enemy, were they burst to realease the thousands of mushroom spores within. The spores would suffocate those who inhaled them, and would later cause breathing disfunctions and death depending on the level of exposure. The spores would also be carried by the wind further inland, and into the enemy camp.

Others yet were filled with glass and explosive spell to be triggered upon impact, launching sharp shards of glass into the enemy forces.

Sel, New Vivec

"I'll go try to find Megil, or some Ordinator that can tell me how to help out." Sel said, grabbing his sword from the doorway where he left it. "Is there anyone to watch Leni?" he asked, suddenly remembering the girl as he tightened his sword belt around his waist.

Akar, On The Road

"From my experience," Akar began, "Owners of plantations don't just let you eat their food and stay under their roofs. Maybe we should stay clear."

The Silhouette, Battle



The Horde continued charging up the wall, ladders were everywhere, and everytime one fell another took his place. The Silhouette slashed the head off of one of the mages, and through it into the city. Then he raised his hand, and different missles fell into the city, hitting many of the buildings and callapsing them. The Silhouette raised his hand again, and pots with a noxeous gass were thrown over the walls, and into the city. The gas itself could kill, but if it hit fire, it would explode. Many did hit the fire, and large explosians hit the inner part of the city.

Many goblins now were on the walls, fighting the ordinators hand to hand. A large group of them went down the stairs leading to the walls, and into the city. Killing anyone they came across.

The Silhouette now saw the mushrooms, and ordered the hide of guars to be placed up over the camp on polls, the mushrooms would land on the hide, and the gas would rise.

OOC: Well yeah, but the plantation still remains.....I guess!



Serene Vivec

"Hmm...I´ll check if the girl who comes in every day to clean the house is still there, then I´ll ask her to stay a while longer, then I´ll just follow you out....and teleport to Balmora to see Thanelen"


Dahleena, On the road

"Jeez, silly!, I wasn´t thinking of asking for permission.....I thought we could just...sort of take what we need, sinceOrvas dren is dead anyway, and there´s total anarchy on that plantation, according to my information"

Lykaon, New Vivec

Lykaon shook his head. He however, realized what the sirens meant, and cursed them, the damn loud things hurt like hell on his sensative ears. Lykaon hurried towards the battle he could faintly hear, the smell of burnt flesh and spilled blood.



And so it came to past that Lykaon ran into a bunch of Goblins, just in time to see a few foolish and sadly, unskilled adventurers get cut down trying to stop the horde. Lykaon leapt at a large goblin with a feral roar, Akavirian katana drawn. Dark blood splattered on the street as the Goblin's head was removed from its' shoulders. Lykaon finished with his dramatic entrance by looking at the goblins coldly (well, as coldly as one can look in a mask).

Then the heavily armored swordsman tore into their ranks mericlessly.

The Silhouette, New Vivec


OOC: Well the hides can still stop the bags from hitting the ground.


[/B]The Silhouette continued to lop off the heads of the many foes, however, Miran had still not sent the reinforcements. Though the Silhouette was sure they would eventually come. The Moldair had long since, left the battle, only to come when the Silhouette gave the signal.



Florodine, Molag Mar.




Things were ready, around fifty thousand men poured out of the city, in picture perfect lines. At their head in special golden hand armor, Florodine stood at his place with the other hands. He Fired off a volly of powerful magic and signalled the force to leave. The city cheered as their mage-warrior king left to battle, Though his armor looked heavy, it was actually quite light, and allowed much mobility. The force continued its journey for many hours, they would not stop untill they reached new Vivec.
