Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-33426474-20171111211656/@comment-32301387-20171113040807

"alright, alright. Give the men

an hour to say their good byes, pack their things. And they will meet you at the gate" I shout. The dark elf smiles in response.

Once I am down from the wall, I signal the captain of the guard to rally all the men and prepare for the fight of thier lives.

An hour and a bit later, the gate comes down, and a furious "hell hath no fury" horde of orcs and dark elves come crashing through. in front of them, at the other end of a street, stands twenty one musketeers, ranks seven long and three deep. Carolean style. I am immediatly behind them, yelling shit. As the horde charges down the stree, men outnumbered by chief gods knows how many, from the windows of the buldings fly cleansing flame. Volly after volly of improvised and hastily crafted molotovs come crashing down on the street below. The charge is broken, and those who are still clambering into the city are forced to watch in sheer horror as a third  of their forces are decimated. Me and a couple of mages cast fire resistance on the twenty one, who begin to advance through the fire. It looked like a legion of  true monsters were advancing on the now terrorfied mamono. One of the dark elves rallies them to chage again. But it is halted by the thunderous charge of guns. Morale broken, they make their retreat from the city, running to a treeline. A mere 20 peasant yeomen on horseback give chase, but in the confusion and fear, they may as well have been armoured knights, riding down those two slow.

"Sir, their leader got away." Says one of the brave yeomen.

"Good. Her successor would simply have tried again. She... she has lost a lot today. She will fear us."

And they did. A warning was sent out. "If some one should go missing, your lands and people are forfit."

No traveler was harrased, by dark elf or orc. Any other mamono was kept in line by them, out of fear that if an alraune or such should take a man, then the wrath of the fire within the walls would consume them in vengence.
