[19:41:35] <~Bynw> +---------------------------------------
[19:41:36] <~Bynw> | The battle for Warp Wood has begun and
[19:41:38] <~Bynw> | it is not an easy fight. Seth and his
[19:41:39] <~Bynw> | army have taken some losses battling
[19:41:40] <~Bynw> | the forces of the traitorous druid
[19:41:42] <~Bynw> | Chadwick.
[19:41:43] <~Bynw> |
[19:41:44] <~Bynw> | However, Chadwick's forces have also
[19:41:46] <~Bynw> | taken a few losses, but at the cost
[19:41:47] <~Bynw> | of limited powder for many of the
[19:41:48] <~Bynw> | gunners with Seth and the Lords.
[19:41:50] <~Bynw> |
[19:41:51] <~Bynw> | But now the tide has turned slightly
[19:41:52] <~Bynw> | again in the favor of Seth and the
[19:41:54] <~Bynw> | Lords. For at least one of the
[19:41:55] <~Bynw> | dragons that aided them in Egoria
[19:41:56] <~Bynw> | has now appeared and has destroyed
[19:41:57] <~Bynw> | one of the moving trees that block
[19:41:59] <~Bynw> | the army from Chadwick himself.

[22:01:47] <+Jack> "Oh great"
[22:02:29] <+Seth> ::Takes notice of the new comers and slowly begins walking towards them as they approch, leaving the arrest of the druids to the men he's commanded. He call out to them:: "Identify yourselves."
[22:03:04] <+ExtraCast> :: some of the able footmen also join up and follow Lord Seth's command.
[22:03:06] <~Bynw> *they bear torches and lanterns, surrounding themselves in light. the lead horseman is in ecclesiastical purple, a prince of the church, a bishops miter on his head*
[22:05:02] <~Bynw> *he holds out his hand to stop the march of men behind him. numbering close to 100 men in the arms of the church's primary knight order -- the aman.*
[22:05:05] <+Seth> ::Dissipates his earlier spells and stands before the approching men. He barks an order to his own troops:: "Form up. Single line. Try to look presentable."

[22:06:07] * +ExtraCast gunmen and archers form up into a line trying to clean as much of the blood and dirt off themselves as they can.

[22:06:46] * +Jack stays in the building he was hiding from the bugs in.
[22:08:32] <+Coch> ::speaking out of turn::"Bishop Pele you've missed all the excitement"
[22:08:59] * +Coch slings his rifle trying not to fall over in the process
[22:09:20] * +ExtraCast soldiers on thier feet try to stand up straighter.

[22:10:59] <+Seth> ::For just a moment he entertains the notion of peeing on the man's shoes, but instead quickly kisses his ring of office. He makes no effort to hide his distain now, openly sneering at the man. He says nothing, but simply stares boredly at the noxious man. Waiting for him to say somthing::
[22:12:20] <+Coch> "Bishop Pele Warp Wood still has a Queen and Lords"
[22:13:29] <+Seth> ::Steps close to the man and looks him in the eye:: "No your not."
[22:13:53] <+Seth> ::Now stands in the mans way, his own troops behind him::
