Rumors and RP of the Order of the Blackrose

Unread post by Emeralds »

Patrols would continue to depart from the Outpost on the "Northern Tradeways" Regularly.
They would go through "Thundar's ride", "Boarskyr Bridge", "Soubar" and then back to their Outpost.

Many could see the "Blackrose Militia" mobilizing and soon after the presence of men on watch could be seen doubled.

"Amelia Blackrose" herself could be seen later on that day tending to the injured and sick within the camp due to illness setting in the North.

Out at Ulgoths beard two men could be seen fishing for several days. They would proceed to gut then dry out the fish before salting and preparing their catches for travel. They would do this until there pack horses could carry no more.
A woman would later join them teleporting them away.

They would later be sighted at the Northern Outpost handing out their catches to it's residence.

Some traders witnessed them travelling further up river only to return hours later with a wagon in tow filled to the brim with supplies as it was carted back to Soubar shortly after. As questions began to rise about what happened, word among those in Soubar says that House Blackrose salvaged stolen goods from a Bugbear encampment, avenging those who had fallen before the beasts.
Rumored reports of organized "Bugbears." on "Thundars ride" would reach the "Northern Outpost." A Force would be sent out post haste to investigate and deal with the threat.
Image

Skirmishes could be seen along "Thundars ride" As "Blackrose" forces and the organized bugbears clashed.

A caravan could be seen waylaid and pulled over on the side of the road the cargo taken and many of those that had travelled with it dead.
The "Blackrose" force would follow the blood and drag marks up river until they would reach a "Bugbear" encampment.
A fierce battle would ensue until the leader was drawn out and after a brief exchange of words would be slain.

"The "Blackrose" force could be seen escorting a wagon of supplies after the Battle to "Soubar."

Image

They would be met half way by their Militia and escorted the rest of the way.
Later that day the Militia could be seen recovering the bodies of the dead on "Thundars ride" and giving them a burial.

Rumors would have that a few days ago a large group of "Blackrose" forces could be seen gathered outside "Soubar's" eastern gate. Most would remain outside as their "Matriarch" and many ranked officers would enter the tent town heading for "Mag's Tavern."
Image

Patrons in the tavern would divulge overhearing talks of building, security and the war raging in the "Troll Claws" as "Mag the tavern owner" and "leader of Soubar","Amelia Blackrose Matriarch" of "House Blackrose", "Vaelen" the "Warden of House Blackrose" and a "Prominent merchant of Soubar" along with a Dwarf called "Babryn Glori" an "Architect from Kraak helzak" talked.
Image

Later on that day the "Blackrose Militia" under the command of a "Corporal Daniel" would move into "Soubar" setting up camp.

Since moving in they could be seen helping around "Soubar" along with Sparring and training under the guiding hand of "Ser Chersk, House Blackrose Sergeant at arms"

Ser Chersk, House Blackrose Sergeant at arms would often be seen through the early morning within soubar checking up on stations she had posted around making sure they were in order, and correcting who weren't. Soon after the time of lunch, she would select a small hand full of maybe three or four pulling them aside to a clearing just outside of soubar toward the bridge and spar with them or train with them. Though they would keep up with her not taking it to seriously at first. Chersk made sure it was taken seriously with real swords and very much real swings. Most defending themself before she would send them back to their post within soubar, only one wounded that she told to return to the outpost for healing.

During the evening they would rotate with a few from the outpost while they rest and recover. Then the cycle would repeat with a few changes here and there, instead taking out one or two to patrol the direct area around soubar keeping mind of the ebon forces, and the whitewood vanguard taking quite an effort to ignore them. Chersk some times wouldn't show at all during the morning instead turning up during the evening. Nothing was regular or repetitive, it was never the exact same people at posts nor patroling.

A courier arrives at the Northern Tradeway on a large dark steed in the early sunrise. In his right palm is a letter which is sealed and has the insignia of Mystra upon it. After handing the parchment to one of the guards at the outpost the messenger informs them briefly it is for the attention of either the inqusitor or lady Blackrose, he then leaves on his stallion in haste, heading in a Southwestern direction.

Rumor has it that a group of Laborer's from the "Northern Outpost" could be seen heading into "Thundar's ride" under escort and protection of Blackrose Soldiers.
Once entering the area they would sent up a small encampment in a forested area and begin felling trees, debarking them, Sawing them down and getting them ready for transport.

Many passing by the Northern Outpost would notice the lumbering piles of logs that are currently being splited and worked down into usable planks for building purposes.

A few days have passed but rumor's could be heard that there was a lengthy discussion between "Mag the tavern Owner" and the "Matriarch of House Blackrose Amelia". Patrons of the tavern could hear talks of the future of "Soubar" and laws being establish in a town that held a delicate sense of law and order.
It was over heard that "Mag" has give "Amelia" leave to write up a draft of laws for "Soubar" to be revised between them on a later date. It would also be heard that a great amount of lumber was to be delivered to "Mag" in order to fix up her roof to her liking and to build gates for the tent town.

"I'll give permission for you to govern the laws around your own place" a line from "Mag" that particularly stood out.

The respect between the two could be seen as they parted ways though likely this was just the beginning of a wave of developments that were coming to "Soubar"

The "Northern Outpost" is bustling as usual with traders coming and going along with the builders clearing land and the workers creating pliable planks of wood from the logs from the lumber camp in "Thundars Ride". Today though a squad of soldiers is seen preparing to move out. The ten men or woman seem to be packing up for a long trip. Rumors have it that a campaign against the bugbears and goblins in "Thundars Ride"is under preparation and that "House Blackrose"is enlisting mercenaries and sells-words for the undertaking.

Several carts laden heavy with supplies and thick canvas tents were pulled by heavy draft horses. Upon arrival, a redhaired man in a wool overcoat was seen tearing down the northern watch banners as soon as they arrived. Soon after several of the Blackrose men began setting up camp one went to set the fire and begin cooking the men meals for the day. Not long after the camp was set up and the men had eaten a force of Ebon Blade Mercenaries arrived to help fortify the encampment.

The training and preparing over the past months at the Blackrose Outpost on the Northern Tradeway had finally come to a end. Soldiers saddled up their mounts and prepared for the campaign that lay ahead. The men and women said farewell to their loved ones before setting out in the towards Thundar's Ride. They arrived at the Blackrose lumber camp in the late afternoon after a long days ride the rain dampening their spirits. The palisade gates opened for them and light cheer could be heard by the men on the ramparts despite the terrible weather; it had been some time since many of the soldiers had seen each other.

Image

Amos looked down from upon the ramparts with a sigh, though he maintained a smile. How many of these men and woman would he lead to their deaths? He never considered that they would do anything but their duty--he had served with them many times during the last year. They stood against devils, among other things. But this was Thundar's Ride, a land filled with disease and and danger around every corner. He shook the thought from his mind--for the moment--before heading down to speak with the soldiers.

The men ate a hearty dinner as night approached. Everyone knew what morning-light would bring: a headlong charge into Thundar's Ride, the campaign to secure the stretch of road from Baldur's Gate to Soubar, with resistance from the goblin and bugbear tribes. The men prayed to their gods in hopes of a blessing and that they would survive the long ordeal ahead.

The Sunrise would come far to soon for many as the gates of the outpost would open, the riders in black driving their mounts forward. The dew still laid fresh on the ground only disturbed by the thunderous thuds of horseshoes hitting the earth. All the men and women steeled for battle which they would find soon enough.

Image
Image
The Sounds of battle would echo through the Hills and valleys of Thundars Ride. One thing is for sure, the birds of prey would have their fill.

The Sergent Chesrk gravely wounded in combat is taken to the medical tents for treatment then carted back to the outpost, where she remains to heal and recover. Her fate remains unknown if she would pass onto the afterlife come next sunrise.
