Re: Winding Water Fort — Frontline RP Thread
In the aftermath of the Winding Water's fort being overrun by devils, amidst the smoke and flames, the Northern Watch Commander and the man known as Cal to most would be seen arranging the fallen fist soldiers in an orderly row, arranged respectfully, and then taking stand over them until clerics arrive to deliver last rites.

Re: Winding Water Fort — Frontline RP Thread
This morning, a small well armed group of men escorted a caravan to the Winding Waters front, its precious load delivered to the Flaming Fist fort.
The wagon contained 10 boxes, each box containing 10 silver weapons enhanced with a tier 1 enchantment (+1 silver weapons) of a decent variety:
• 50 longswords;
• 20 halberds;
• 10 handaxes;
• 10 spears;
• 10 warhammers.
When questioned about it's origin, "from a friend" was the only answer given. Inside of one of the crates, tied to one of the silver swords, a holy symbol could be found with a written note.

Flaming Fist battlemages, led by Lady Moruene, are seen examining this delivery very closely.Wildsheep wrote: ↑Fri Jul 19, 2019 7:46 am This morning, a small well armed group of men escorted a caravan to the Winding Waters front, its precious load delivered to the Flaming Fist fort.

The Hammer and the Anvil
Current map of Operations - all fronts
Map Key:
Hidden: show
Assaults from the mortal forces of Hellsteel Tower have grown in intensity. With the addition of slave goblins to their ranks, the devil-led forces have assaulted up and down the line. Time and again hordes of the devil's mortal slaves were driven onwards against the points of strongest resistance, the forts. The garrisons commanded Blazes Regnon and Tulumvist grow tired from the ceaseless assaults, and causalities mount as devils increasingly join the fray.
Battle with goblins
Meanwhile, mortal devil followers composed of human cultists have begun trying to cross the Winding Water quietly and raid villages behind the lines for slaves. So far, patrols have intercepted most of these warbands but nevertheless they sow terror when they meet success.

The fort on the right flank under Marshal Yulimtul however fares better, due to the support of Sir Crozas and the paladins of the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart from Athkatla. The paladins and clerics have proven to be a stout counter to fiendish assaults.

A new phase of the war is now beginning. The participation of the Devils themselves in assaults over the past tenday has increased, and a major offensive took place two days ago against the Baldurian bridge that Marshal Nenon's fort was guarding. Hellsteel Tower's forces temporarily captured the bridge and overran the fort; only being driven back by the arrival of Flaming Fist reserves.

Rumour spreads that this attack was led by a wingless female devil declaring herself to be Ilrataxena the Huntress, who called out a number of Flaming Fist warriors to accept her challenge before reaping a bloody toll among the defenders, breaking their line. The Flaming Fist took heavy losses, and the company guarding this fort is now significantly understrength.
General Scar's Fort
General Scar's fort, on the left flank, has weathered a number of heavy attacks. With the support of adventurers from a wide variety of backgrounds, numerous goblin and troll assaults have been thrown back.
Adventurers drive off yet another goblin horde from the barricades!
The barricades have been approached a number of times by one of the Lieutenants of Hellsteel Tower, Lamazeeza, who has tried to sway the spirits of the defenders. Increasingly her arrival has announced the attacks by the armoured legions of Hellsteel Tower.
However, Lamazeeza has not been seen since adventurers shot at her recently when she came to parlay and since then attacks have increased in ferocity, the barricades falling more than once and the fort's gates being burned.

Timely Reinforcements
Meanwhile, as rumours begin to grow that Duke Eltan and the Flaming Fist are planning moves of their own, reinforcements have arrived from the Lord's Alliance. Troops from Iriaebor have arrived and taken up a strong position to guard the Flaming Fist's right flank, operating in the Trollclaws as far as Kheldrivver.
A contingent from Neverwinter has also arrived, taking position to guard the Flaming Fist's left flank, and help block any fiendish breakthroughs towards the city itself.
Finally, contingents from the Northern Lord's Alliance have arrived, hailing from the cities of Mirabar, Citadel Adbar, Sundabar and Silverymoon, brought to the city by the magic of Alustriel Silverhand herself. They have deployed at the centre of the line of forts, reinforcing Marshal Nenon's fort and providing a strong presence to bolster the line.

Baldur's Gate's forces have endured and gained a moment's breathing room. What will be done with it yet remains to be seen.

Re: Winding Water Fort — Frontline RP Thread
In the last following days, Jalib hasn't been seen anywhere around the fort (and, in fact, just around anywhere). Rumors say that he was freed from his duty in advance by order of duke Eltan himself, and so it seems right now he is doing just what he promised to do by the barricades once his sentence is over — getting some sleep, at last.

Re: Winding Water Fort — Frontline RP Thread
Suton Dykes of King's Tear Emporium reappears at the front line with supplies of corn foods, and replacement bandages and potions. He reports to any interested that he has recovered from the recent attacks mounted against the Devils having taken part in one of the secretive unreported raids against the Devil supply line. He reassures any who wish to continue to hold the line that King's Tear Emporium will continue to resupply the line, freshly equipped with supplies from both Baldur's Gate and goods captured from the Devils on the recent raid. He soon returns to the City waving a filled order form promising to return soon.

With the arrival both Radiant Heart and Silver Rose reinforcements to the Winding Waters fort along the frontline, the Commander of the Northern Watch can be seen ordering the few who remain to begin packing up camp. She is then seen heading into the fort, bearing a sealed parchment and seeking audience with General Scar. Rumor has it, the Watch intends to move further behind enemy lines.

Re: Winding Water Fort — Frontline RP Thread
Aaron Lyonaler would be seen moving about the forward Fist held forts offering cleric support where needed. A couple of days would be spent in the reserve forts housing his brothers and sisters of the Athkatlan branch of the Radiant Heart who were under siege in the fort controlled by Captain Yulimtul, ensuring their needs are met and their wounds from the battle are sufficiently tended to.
