Mirakus Post

[BattlePixie]

Melody Mourningsoul drags herself into Sestra; bloodied from many wounds, beaten and burned by magics. with a blood caked hand she grabs at those that rush to her side, and before passing out from her wounds, she utters only one short sentence:

"Mirakus has fallen"

[Fezzik]

Scouts can see on occasion a devil flying over the post... performing rather haphazard acrobatic maneuvers, and occasionally dropping pamphlets on anyone it sees that simply say: "Oust the Usurper and fear again the Lord of Bones"

***

A Lady in Blue roams the streets of Sestra with more frequency, often dressed in her full armour, with a somber look on her face. She urges the people to be calm and continue their daily lives. She also puts out word that she is looking for a combat engineer.

[Spacedog]

Hearing the news, Angelise immediately gears herself and hurries to the Corps de Grace headquarters, hoping to learn how the legion managed to lose the seemingly single most heavily defended town other than Sundren itself, and what plans they have to retake it.

[Biohazard89]

Upon reciveing the news Brunus word to Glyir and the other Skullcleavers, that he will be frequenting Sestra more now with the increased danger.

[Cirion]

Even while Cybil tries to tell the people to remain calm, the men and women of the Corps de Grace are called for and organized to be ready to defend the town incase of an attack. More militiamen are set to the borders of Sestra to keep watch for any advances towards the town.

Even the Ilmatari clergy stationed in Corps de Grace are rushed to help the people that fled Mirakus Post and made it to the Sestra. And the more diplomatic members of the Corps is sent to ask the Temples to make ready to receive any wounded that arrive in town.

[AsuraKing]

Upon hearing the news Cruven cant help but burst out laughing.

"Thats what you get for leaving a fort in the hands of a bunch of Red Knighters... Looks like things here are about to get interesting..."

[richardleitch5]

*when told the news Evananda quickly opens the doors of Lliiras temple to the wounded. Inside she busys herself into turning the place into a proper infermary with as many mackshift beds as can be made. After she waits by the doors to greet and aid anyone who arrives*

[Intrepid42]

The Skullcleavers meet with Captain Cirion of the Corps de Grace and re-affirm their commitment to defend Sestra.

Glyir is seen in and around Sestra, pick in hand. He marks the ground both inside and outside the town walls with small wooden stakes or shallow excavation. Within the walls, there is a particular focus on the docks beside the Keep's back door, the main bridge, and the choke point to the north of the Keep.

These indicate suitable positions for hasty defenceworks such as trenches, stakes and barricades. He starts work on one such trench outside the walls.

[cdnspr]

Cryok, the last living son of Frigiss, returns to the mountains. Angered by the scorn received from other Wardens, his axe fells anything in his path. This is a problem the city-dwellers made for themselves, and as long as it remains confined to their cities, he'll not involve himself.

[OnyxTigress]

Upon hearing the news from Jonathon, Damia and Orem changed into birds to scout from above. Death and destruction was all they saw. When seeing they army that invaded, Damia attempts to gather those among the Wardens who will help.

[TheBrogueadier]

Sulfur smiles as he hears the news of Mirakus falling.

"Let them rot, with any luck they'll murder each other and save us the trouble. But we mustn't be to harsh, I suspect there will be many refugees who plunge into our holy lands to seek comfort. We must all do our part to ensure these 'gees rest eternally between a loamy mattress and lush green sheets."

Vincent Hopkins, man of faith, leads those willing in a prayer to Helm, asking for a swift a vicious end to all those who wield magic without the faith and guidance of a just god.

"...And blessed are those who strike down the arcane, for they are the true warriors of vision. The fall of Mirakus was no accident my friends, it fell because of their love of magic. Their lust for dark and dangerous magics.

They twisted the world with the Arcane, and in doing so they have twisted themselves, become unholy servants of Bane. It is the work of Wizards, Witches and Warlocks who have plotted with Evil to bring this hell to your doors.

Blessed is he who wears the coat of iron, for in faith it will turn the spells and blades of evil.
Blessed is he who carries the iron sword, for it bites at the heart of the arcane.
Blessed is he who wears the hawthorn helm, for...."

[Peridan]

Peridan can be seen amongst soldiers in the Viridale Fortress, deep in conversation with the other Legion commanders. The elf doesn't seem to sleep and barely eats as he's constantly moving between tactical meetings.

[Biohazard89]

In Sestra Brunus can be seen intensely Drilling the Corps'men in Defensive drill's like shield walls and organized retreats. Some Corp'smen are seen running themselves tired outfitted in full combar gear as they train under the Old Dwarf. others learn how to time counter charges, and the Sergeants gets instructed in the tactical layout of the town, where the chokepoints are, what bridge to burn down, where to position snipers and other traps.

Constant hammering's can be heard from the forges in sestra as the Crafters toil to produce the needed equipment, repair armor and weapons long overdue.

Earlier that evening a battered dark skinned elf stumbles through the city gates with word of the falling of Mirakus. With the help of a unknown stranger she manages to make her way to the Red Blades headquarters to report of the situation. She was then seen in the Military ward stumbling from building to building, presumably informing all to this horrid situation.

As the evening drew on she was seen leaving the gates on the road to Mirakus incoherently talking about the possibility of survivors.

She has not been seen again…

[Lanemeyer]

Andy receives the report and her eyes turn into sorrow. She then nods and takes her way to meet with Saint Vaer Vitori, as she kneels down before him with all her dicipline, her emotions get in the way as a few tears fall from her eyes.

"I ask permission to take a few men and go to Sestra."
