Wow this is going a little too fast for me...

We just color write open doors in a well prepared defence to give us a chance of opening a gate?

Is it okay if I color write the diemans armors to fall off for a better chance to hit them?


okay... provokating questions aside, I have lost the idea of how the battlefield looks.... so please help me by correcting my misunderstandings.

 Kaven is holding both the medoran and the dieman standard?
 
Kaven is on the wall but the Diem is outside the wall?

The green knight is outside the walls?

The diemans attacked the wall away from the main gate but has now traveled along the top of the wall to reach the main gate?

Diemans are in another sector than the Ghiestan - nowhere near the damaged gate (they will gain no benefit from it).

Diemans have gained the wall and are fighting to expand their bridgehead. Duke Diem, Kaven and Ser Estevan are all ON the walls.

Kaven is carrying the Dieman standard (for some reason - let's assume Diem's standard bearer was killed - by the classic arrow to the eye).

---

Ghiestans have been thoroughly fucked by realm magic and red-robed wizard supporting the defenders.

Kaven is carrying his Lieges personal standard, though that could well be the same, because he had asked for the dubious honour in order to stick close to the Archduke. Kaven did NOT expect his lieges next post to have him in the thick of the fighting.  ::)

Question concerning this (http://twilightpeaks.net/forum/index.php?topic=1077.msg13214#msg13214) post.

When player place their characters in situations like this, is it ok to assume that they will be "pinned down" there until the siege is lifted, or are sieges considered to be leaking enough for them to get out and do other things? Also, how easy would it be to get inside Ilien when there is a siege in effect?

Since she is in Ilien on a CoT sanctioned mission and has been to the best of my knowledge been given permission to enter and leave Ilien she should be able to get out. (I assumed being allowed by both sides but Runes post makes me wonder)

Valid question though.

I did tell Libor that going into Ilien would most likely mean searches of his ship and the likes. But I was somewhat confused about this at first too - especially since I was/is supposed to have men with him.

Related question for the DM:
Does a character who place themselves in an actual warzone like this (ie. behind the lines, but still in possible danger) have a chance of catching a sudden case of death?

Ask Libor. I just said the High Priestes is in Ilien on a CoT sanctioned mission - I did not say the mission was to be making a red cross. However ETN being ETN it kinda makes sense dont it? Neserie being the good of healing heh

Healing and death...

Besides everyone knows that the Ilienese need their souls saving and even if its posthumously then its still important to the Conclave.  If she redeems a few from worshiping the Red Wind's god while they're alive then all the better.

I can say it is quite easy to get in if both sides agree to let you pass. Im yet to discover how easy is to get out.  ;)

ETN just does what it does allways. Help the poor and suffering. Besides, RCS does the same (and more) for the besiegers.

I suppose some stray boulder from catapult might kill anyone in the city. But that is the risk she took agreeing to go to the mission.

The difference being, that I'm not going against direct orders to do so. ;)

And just to be clear - the RCS are tending to the wounded on both sides.

Direct orders? I don't recall anyone who could order ETN to heal or not to heal.  :P

Depends on whether you jeopardize your mission by running around where catapults could hit you, I guess. I'm just saying you have direct orders - and they don't necessarily involve frolicking in the battlezone :P

That danger is inherent to the mission. Catapults can hit you anywhere in Ilien. I would even say the ETN temple is one of the safer places to be.

One could also argue that it was not a battlezone when the mission was given... It was turned into a battlezone by people who did not have any regard for the CoT sanctioned mission in Ilien.

And just to be clear - the RCS are tending to the wounded on both sides.

But the High Priest of RCS, Kaven, leads an assault on Ilien and I believe no RCS personel participate in a similar action to defend the city. Am I right?

Besides have RCS not been hindred to work in Ilien so how can they tend the wounded on both sides?

I believe ETN and no one else where put in charge with the mission, RCS not exactly being on friendly terms with the Countess, did not qualify for leading the mission. RCS offered ETN their assistance in the mission and that offer was accepted by ETN. Wallac/IHH has NOT posted in CoT that orders where given to ETN nor did the bill proposed by Wallac order ETN in any way in this regard. I have not posted anything in regard to have been giving ETN orders via email so above must be a misunderstanding.

What choices Libor made is his to make and I will react to them IC when appropiate. If RCS has an issue with this I suggest addressing it IC

Just to make it clear before anyone jump the bandwagon: Above post where stuff I intended to address during the weekend but had not the rl time to before to night.

Thus it is not related to whatever imagined or real issues between Thorsten and me regardless of how Matt or others perceive it.
