Attacks

Faramier · Post by **Faramier** » Sun Feb 09, 2003 7:18 pm

Due to the increase in orc attacks lately I have decided that in order to protect ourself against them guards will be needed. In order to train the guards and any other civillians that may be caught in the fray of a real attack drills are needed.

Theese will come in the form of controlled attacks led by me or other volunteers. They will simulate a real attack so people can get the feel of what to do. They will comprise of various different monsters coming at different times from different angels.

This is in no way meant to harm any residents of trolls bane but of courseif you get in the way there is always a chance.

It is solely intended to keep people on thier toes and bring together a form of militia.

Good Idea or not?

Constructive comments only please.

Guingalan,

Brendan Mason sees the notice and angrily writes:

Terrible idea!
Can you picture sitting at the river banks when some Guingalan, whatever a Guingalan is, comes charging into town screaming about drills or what not...
Most certainly not...
T'would scare away the fish...
We do not need you running Trolls about town...in an attempt to protect us. We have the Rangers for that!

Its to get them used to working together. Blimey it was just an idea no need to scream.

I do think that is a good idea I mean it will bring the citizens together we will be able to hold the monsters back more if we unite I also suggest that the warriors from each guild should volunteer to become guild guards(only if they want to) and take shifts.

You want to bring monsters into the town to drill the inhabitants?
Have you ever heard that certain people may not be able to protect themselves against those creatures? A single ogre can kill several inexperienced fighters until someone more experienced can fend it off. How can you even consider something like that?
This is a town, not a military camp. There are already a lot of people who have sworn to protect the town against all threats. The Knights of the Grey Rose, the Orde of the Grey Light, the Rangers and various others are alvays there if they can. Your drills will not change anything than destroy the peace of Troll's Bane.

Just an Idea,

I dont think the drills would be a good idea as this will just cause uneeded disruption and panic amongst the not so well trained when your `drill monsters` appear, Although we do need some form of protection for trollsbane as the rangers are not going to do anything.

Well said, Adano. The idea falls on unfavourable and far more peaceful ears that yours, Guingalan.

What's we needs is town walls! Let's start a treasury for the protection of our town and let all evil be banished from disturbing our peace! If any builders ((GM's)) be reading this how much would these walls cost? ((I know it will be a long time before we are allowed to build again but we could start saving now))

Moshrans generals have the ability to warp space and appear wherever they want. You may think of a town wall as the perfect solution, but it isn't..
The story of Drhei Rheltash tells the opposite...

Do not think of me as some warmongering cutthroat, I was merely thinking of a way to put some pressure on the failing town defences in order to make them work properly.

As this idea, is unliked by many, I suggest a list of people willing to fight be posted here and the times they are able to fight and I will try and compile a complete town defence system, Guards, patrols, watches, scouts and runners (messengers) also if you included the type of combat you are profeccient in I shall see what I can do.

Guingalan,

Why is there need for guards and such "drills" to disturb the peace of the town? If the need comes there are many organizations and citizens of Trollsbane that are quite capable of defending this town.

As an ex commander of a millitary force I have to agree with the population of the town, disturbing the peace of a town is not good for a millitry town, I'm afraid having attack drills wont work, but setting up an organised group of specialist warriors will elp a lot more, I had experiecne fighting bloodlusted orcs myself, a long time ago, there is nothing more ferocious and violent, it's impossible to train a town to be attacked by them, nothing on this island is violent enough, only gathering a group of strong warriors can you hope to fight these.

they aren't that tough, perhaps in a large group... but i recon i could handle 1 or 2 or them myself.i say that we get the word out that if ever there is an invading force that everyone flees to a certain place, like the tavern.

Being an orc with bloodlust myself...you should never underestimate them... A retreat during ALL attacks would be great though, for if they do happen to come in mass numbers, I am sure not everyone will be prepared or able to fight....Listen to my dead brother, Belrog, for you should all remain together or you will fall...protect eachother and stay safe...

I see you hole some ill-will towards the Rangers James, I was a bit curious as to your reasons for resigning. If you are still willing to associate with us we would welcome ideas. As for creating a specialized military group, my opinion would be to join a guild or create a guild, preferably the first option. Of course my opinion would be a bit bias.

Hermie · Post by **Hermie** » Tue Feb 11, 2003 4:04 am

I can fight from around 6 till 10 pm ((GMT)) ((I will be on and off though so I wont cover all of the hours but that is the time I am usually on)) I am well experienced in handling a sword and bow and arrows. Also I have knowledge of basic spells. I would happily give my time to protect Illarion.

Faramier · Post by **Faramier** » Tue Feb 11, 2003 6:14 pm

Thank you hermie, your support is greatly appreciated.
And dont worry about going on and off, I don't expect anyone to guard all the time.

And I am in a guild, the UCOA are supporting my efforts.
