For the Decoy Team.

I'd like some clarification.

We are going into Fara Clergy in Rabonian gear, with the 'witch'? Then coming back out? Or are we going in as Claymore, then switching to Rabonian gear later?

Cause the orders look different.

__________

Also,
Medieval Weapons Anime/Manga Claymore seems be thicker then normal/Scottish Claymore...

We are able to use a 2-handed battle axe with 1-Hand as a Claymore?

You go into the town disguised and come out disguised.

Claymores are modified versions of the real weapon (increased durability and power). I'd imagine that there are actual Claymores around. And I would assume so, but using a 2-handed battle axe is basically killing a person.

I was thinking of taking off arms and legs.... maiming and crippling. Its not against the rules if they don't die. We let them get dragged off the battlefield... and so more reinforcements are likely to come that way.

Or... it won't work that way? Hmm... they can bleed to death...


What about a mace... same idea, breaking bones, no bleeding...

Jesus! Ultimately it's up to you, I shouldn't be interfering anyway but death of a human, even delayed as a result of your actions means you're up for the firing squad.

With that, you should be easily able to assume which weapon is better.

Cripples 'r' us it is.

If you want to be anally technical, the human(s) after being crippled, could commit suicide... or are abandoned like a war veteran and left to fend for themselves and die... and all that.

Just trying to look at what the limitations are before I get my character executed...

suicide is a choice, a choice that may have been heavily affected by a claymores action but a choice all the same.

bleeding to death cause of an injury isn't really a choice >.>

Seems things are not actually on the same page... >.> when it comes to the Duma training mission and here... Ah well. Some wierd time paradox I suppose...

I've always interpreted the unbreakable rule as preventing you from causing, directly or indirectly, the death of humans. It's true that you could dismember them in all sorts of ways but then you would be responsible if the bled out their last. Honestly I would just strike to stun or pretend to be fighting seriously until they call for reinforcements and then start running, if I was in charge of the plan. The flat of a blade makes a pretty good club when you think about it, or you can strike with the pommel.

I think we can pierce their legs accurately and cut clavicles as well, extremely carefully though. This wounds wouldn't probably end up as fatal ones, but will surely prevent them from returning to the battlefield. Other then that I agree with Rabbit.

Ayle is the last one to attack, you have the lowest chance of getting injured.
Mara's is high, mine too. I put Lina as second one coz her specialty is attacking small openings and her attack should be the one hardest to dodge. If it is so Sisteena will have the hardest time dodging Lina's attack thus Ayla gets a good easy to attack opening. 50% release is still required though.

Ok, I'm a little confused, did Sisteena block my attack with Lina's Claymore? Or the awakened arm?

Cause I think Lina's Claymore was thrown elsewhere...

At this point, I'll assume that Sisteena blocked with her arm... O.o

*Reinard-fox thinks so too.

Basicly I disarmed Lina and her sword got stuck deep into a boulder like King Arthur's Excalibur, noticed two yoki approaching at high speed and decided to parry by having the arm awaken, grabbed Ayla and threw her to the direction where I sensed Mara coming from before she got within striking range.

quick note to everyone: the rain has stopped by now. If you're post mention something about rain from here afterwards be sure to fix it.

OK, thanks. Fixed it.

Is mist likely to appear?

Realistically, probably not but then again this isn't a hugely realistic setting.

So probably. But I will let you know much like the rain stopping if mist appears, it will also be in the GMs posts etc.

Got it, thanks.

Ah, was going by this:

Guess it'll clear up soon then. :P

Rabbit, the rain has nearly stopped it isn't getting heavier, unless you're in some weird pocket dimension.

I think its a follow the leader domino effect... :P

Sorry I've been away for awhile and didn't see that. Anyway, fixed now.

Thats not a lot to work with, but lets see if I can recap after all this time.

We head over to some 'camp' with all the gear and refit ourselves.

Lina will be a 'prisoner'. Rest of us, Rabona knights...

The rest... I'm not to clear on.

It may seem to be most effective for Lina to slip in and hang around the gate area. Rabona knights come in, at first, cloaked and grab Lina. Spouting Rabona stuff and making a show, where we show we are Rabonian knights in the process. We thwack anyone who tries to help or gets in the way. And 'subdue' Lina. And try to drag her out.
By then, guards/soldiers should be coming... with people complaining and being pissed off... Shouldn't so easily blow Lina's cover, so have one of us 'drag' her out of view while the other two grab more attention and cover their retreat.

Lina should change garb, so the two can rejoin the others... so the humans would believe we've taken her to some unknown location while the rest of the 'Rabonian knights' fight off the humans...


Thats unless the nature of our mission has changed.... ?

OK, lets do it this way. Do not forget to shout something about Rabonian religion, justice, heretics and stuff. Cursing our enemies and their beliefs will do to.

Still waiting for Zangi to post, if he doesn't in around 10 hours I'll move on.

You'll assume that Ayla runs along with Mara?

Sorry about that, been a bit busy... I'll see if I can make a post....

And probably should fix my forum time... so I don't have to post to tell the time... >.>

Would it be possible to get some idea of the surroundings and formation of the guards? I'm having a bit of difficulty picturing it in my head at the moment.

basically it goes like this (crude diagram incoming)

---\~~~~~~~~~/---
----|~~~~~~~~|----
----|~~Captain~|----

Sword~~~~~~Sword

Mara~~~~Ayla


Sisteena

Arrows point to what direction you're heading in at the time of the post (and the guards) and the |--- thing is basically the eastern gate entrance. (Ignore the tildes, they're there for spacing only).

Waiting for Rabbit and Rei to post.

Won't be waiting for Zangi?

No.

Rabbit, I need to talk to you. IRC is the best place, so spare me some time there tomorrow please.

El, is Partisan unconscious or just surprised?

Still conscious.

'Kay. I'll kick him around a bit then. :D

Ok, so I finally finished reading the new stuff. >.> So basically, the battle just finished?

^ Yeah, the battle just finished: Ayla and Sisteena are approaching captain and his other guards, who defend the gate.

WB :)

Hmm I'll try to have something by tomorrow then... Wow, am I inactive.

Good :) Don't be too hasty killing people though. Captain should be left untouched so that he'll be able to run and beg his uncle or whoever for help.

For further tactical discussion IRC welcomes you for obvious reasons ;P

True >.>
