Is it a fortress with two pairs of walls or a fortress that has multiple defenses behind its walls? That detail is important when you are talking about sieges in a character RP.


A metaphorical fortress, as in "it's really goshdarn hard to capture".

Also, I'm working on a post where Cerberus will have a chance to talk to the Walking Men :)

Will be posting within 24 hours now that I am all caught up and progressing through my role plays. However, now, after doing an all nighter. I must crash and try to sleep.

Uh, Flarb, you are aware that Salida is surrounded by landmines?

Trying to breach the wall would be difficult without, you know, blowing up. Everyone's stuck just taking potshots at each other while the Vultures attempt to clear the mines.

What he said! Also Flab, for the forth or fifth time this is not a medieval RP, the vultures wouldn't be using a battering ram on a city surrounded by mines. Also Salida is a city, not a castle, so their isn't a courtyard withing the walls just more city. Also the Vultures actions as a whole are under New Grestin's control, so please let him handle what the vulture army is actually doing. The man has plans that don't need anybody accidentally screwing it up. So

Now to finally finish that post I've been working on.

And the guards are also hardened mercenaries (as said in my post) who are perfectly capable of defending the city, since they probably have been doing that for ages.

Gonna give PLW some time to post before I decide to, you know, drop the next major plot change. We're getting to what I would basically consider the end of the first arc and I'd like to make sure the next is interesting.

That does not make them immortal or infallible, especially since mercenaries usually flee or betray their employers if the tide turns against them.

Point taken.

Also, you're still taking control of the Vultures from Grestin. And ignoring the minefield.

Last time. While I don't mind who controls random Vulture A, please keep in mind previous actions of other players. Grestin, having the first shot at dictating Vulture behavior, set the entire situation as a mire for both side. The Vultures have yet to effectively clear the mine field much less breach the wall. If you wanna take some shots and a Vulture blows up, then by all means, but don't ignore everyone else.

Also, only a few people know about Fairview and the Walking Men's involvement. Unless Cerberus was there and/or already knew the Walking Men in some close capacity then this is a minor case of Metagaming.

As far as Fairview is concerned, you ruined an important plot twist. If you want me to edit the conflicting post to explain how the small group of Vultures that breached the walls managed to get past the minefield, I will immediately make the changes.

At the moment, I'd much prefer it if they didn't get into town yet. I'm currently waiting on PLW, which is why I've been trying to ensure the siege stays at a standstill. There's a certain logic to these things, and with the upcoming plot changes, I'd like to keep things somewhat on track.

But there is no group of Vultures getting past the minefield. New Gresten is in control of the Vulture army, and he agrees that the Vultures and the OpFor will be in a stalemate for a little while.

I'm like lowkey confused as to what I should even post about. My guy has no conection to anything currently and hasn't done much of anything. So like... Yeah. I've got nothing to say in the IC, which is only fun. Don't mean to sound like I'm complaining. Just more voicing myself a bit since normally this is the reason I just sort of drop out from RPs.

Well, at the moment there's a pretty huge siege going on that's leading into more plot developments.

For the sake of introductions, you could try and start out a little ways away from Salida and work your way there. That would give you enough time to flesh your character out and arrive for the new plot changes.

You could have your character in Salida having been there since before the Vultures' siege.

Well, when you post, just post about your person arriving a few days earlier prior to the siege. :p

I am vry curious on this RP, how hard is it to create a group this late in the stage and is it just set in Colorado? I was thinking of doing something like the Brotherhood of Steel from Fallout, but rather have a military outpost of men who broke away from the "newly" fascist US Government in efforts to fighting for democracy and order.

If not, I have a character idea based around a Smuggler.
