(You know, this general is a real... tosser.)

25th of Morning Star, 4E 269

It would seem that the gunner had had rather too much to drink on the previous night, as whilst the first two cows landed in intended destination, the third one smeared itself all over the walls to no effect, and by some impressive act of incompetence, managed to fire the fourth cow backwards. It landed in the camp of the Order, crushing a tent of five men.

(If this entire town starts worshipping spearmen and rejects my culture, I am going to be most displeased.)

3rd of Sun's Dawn

The Corsairs were struck dumb by the blinding light.

Azzan could see the strange light, and went over to the keep to investigate the source.

13th of Sun's Dawn

Moonguard was a well defended town, rather more well defended than a town had any right to be. It had high, thick walls, complete with a gatehouse and several ballista towers along the walls. The portcullis was winched upon, allowing Selus to enter the town.

"We're gonna have to escort you to the keep, guv," a burly guard grunted. "Your men can wait outside."

Five swordsmen, looking somewhat unappreciative of their escort duty, walked into the gatehouse to escort Selus.

15th of Sun's Dawn

A further 7 Longbowmen succumbed to crossbow fire, reducing them to 32, and the Crossbowmen sustained a total of 8 casualties from the Arbalists and Longbowmen. The ballistae hit the buildings, but as they were an anti-personnel weapon, it would take time for them to knock down the walls. All the missile troops seemed content to continue exchanging fire for now.

The Pikemen stood their ground as the Mammoths charged them. The combined effect of well ordered Pikemen and the Mammoths' own momentum carrying them onto the pikes meant that both Mammoths were killed, after killed 58 Pikemen. The remaining 542 Pikemen remained guarding the gates, inspired by their victory.

1st of First Seed

The pots contained grain, though in the dim light it was difficult to identify the precise cereal.
