(@Pelagius: Skaven is ruled hereditary, so it is a monarchy. Why is he going to enforce democracy in Thorstad? That would go against his nation's government, which would cause problems later on. The citizens would prefer democracy and want to overthrow the current monarchy of Skaven. You'd basically be setting yourself up for a French Revolution-style revolt.

Also, how many soldiers did you bring with you to the village? Unless you had brought a significant force, the locals would have just told you to fuck off.

It is also highly unlikely that both villages would surrender. At least one would fight for their sovereignty.

@Red: Do you actually mean 29th of Sun's Height or 29th of Midyear? Because your last RP date was the 16th of Midyear.)

~8th of Sun's Height

The courtyard only had a few torches lighting it up, so it was hard to see all of it. But what Cynric could see was the small stables near the gates, where a handful of horses were held, a small training area to the north and the entrance to the inside of the fort, which was guarded by only one guard. The mercenary in Steel Armor was leaning next to the door, watching the rest of the courtyard.

What the scout found was a large amount of dead placed in spikes outside the fort. Over 30 of them were all there. Some looked like they had been there for over a month, their bodies rotting, while others looked like they had been placed there only a few days back. When one of the company men got sick they immediately killed him and left him outside. Anvil's plan actually helped the Golden Company, since less mouths to feed meant their meager supplies could last longer.

The dead on spikes also served as defense from Anvil, as they would need to pass through the spikes to reach the gates of the fort, which were barricaded with a wooden structure. As Anvil's men would have to pass through the diseased dead company men, they too would get infected.

Still, men were atop the walls and when the scout got too close, they fired the ballistae at him.

Seeing as he had finished scouting the fort, Dreekius began heading back to Windhelm.
