Turn #71 - Oden siege

(1/8) > >>

DM B:
Archduke William personally commands the Crusade. He's been appointed Marshal of the Crusade by Pontiff Isilviere.

At the beginning of the turn he's overseeing the siege of Oden, Prince Oden's capital.

Stuff related to that siege and the province of Rohrgaard go into this thread.

X-Osoerde (Alan):
“When Lord Rockhammer returns to us, tell him I would have news of Werthangen,” the Archduke says empathically to Captain Tradeaus Enlien, while surveying the circumvallation surrounding Oden, a small scroll , recently read, is held in his hand.

He looks to William Deaulen. “It would seem that our brothers in Knights of Haelyn shall miss the conclusion of this siege,” he says while walking past several large mounds.  The construction of the mounds is being overseen by Lady el-Mesir and retinue – they look like little more than piles of trash, refuse and rubbish. Yet, something seems afoot given the meticulous nature of Geraldine’s ministrations to her treasures.

“The services of dwarven engineers have been secured – the represent no small investment.  When they arrive, we shall take this castle.”

DM B:
War move 1:

Nothing much happens. Siege continues. Weather is fair - warm and only a few minor showers. Supply situation good.
