Tales from Serindiar (AAR)
« on: April 03, 2012, 03:25:16 AM »
I decided to make an after action report of my Rhodok character.
This AAR uses freelancer.
Introduction
Little johnny was never a real lucky kid in his life, with his family and friends being murdered before he was 14, and his status as a poor street urchin.

Chapter one:Joining up

Johnny's family had taken refuge in Grunwalder castle after escaping from the burning and looting of his village. Unfortunately the castle soon came under siege by a Swadian army of 3 thousand. With no hope of winning the siege his father sent him and his older brother out through the drainage ducts, unfortunately his father and mother were not small enough to get through. Johnny and his brother heard the screams and shrieks as they ran for their lives. Eventually they ended up at Veluca where they could see the smoke of what was once Grunwalder castle. Johnny was very angry and badly wanted to exact his revenge on that bastard Harlaus.
                    The next day after waking up and leaving the tavern he saw Count Kurnias in the town square. He was spouting something about King Harlaus in a drunkin rage. Johnny being the young naive boy he was immediately signed up for the army, without even taking the time to tell his own brother. Count Kurnias informed him of where they were headed and sent him to the armory to get equipped.
             It was nighttime now and Johnny was still practicing with his new pitchfork. He couldn't seem to get the hang of it. Johnny wished he could've gotten the nice shiny sword that he saw when he was in the armory, but barely had enough money for the pitchfork. It was around this time that a young boy who couldn't have been but a year older than him came up and offered him a deal. "I'll give you lessons with that pitchfork if you give me lessons with that sword. I saw how good you were with the sword in the armory, you took off that practice dummy's head. And I want to learn how to be that good, My name is Bunduk by the way.
             Johnny and Bunduk eventually learned to be friends. Bunduk introduced him to some new people including a couple other new younger recruits named Ivanhoe, Germaine ,and Adele. They were sitting by the fire laughing and joking, until an old scarred fellow came up to them and said "We're going to battle with a slightly larger force tomorrow, If any of you want to survive you'd better get some sleep. You're not going to hold off a Swadian charge whenever you can't keep your Eyes open, My name's Rand by the way.
             Johnny had terrible nightmares, flashbacks of his parents deaths just a few days earlier. He woke to the sound of what seemed to be Drums. "Come on we're moving out now" said Bunduk. From what Johnny could tell people were in a rush. "Where are we going, and why are we in such a rush?" he asked Rand. "The Swadians marched through the night to catch us off guard, We've lost a lot of time."
             When they finally got to the battle it seemed a bit eerie. They could hear the galloping of horses in the distance. Johnny was trembling with fear, trying to decide whether he should run or stay. From what he could see most of the newer recruits including his friends were too. When they finally saw horses come over the horizon they were surprised, They were Khergits. The crossbowman made short work of them, but something wasn't right.
             After the last Khergit fell to the ground, screaming in pain from the bolt that had pierced his stomach, they questioned him asking who he was with, what he was doing there. "You're all going to die, hahahahaha" he exclaimed in a sickly manner with his dying breath.

Chapter 2:The War Ahead

               They immediately scrambled into a defensive position after noticing the party of Swadian knights that had came up behind them. Seeing his good friend Adele get impaled on a lance ,the young boy who couldn't be more than 12's guts spilling out while he cried for his mother ,and all this combined with the fact that bolts were flying through the air shook little Johnny down. The rest of his unit was fleeing, while little Johnny stood there in shock. "Come on we have to go, now!" Said Bunduk hastily. Johnny ran like he never ran before.
           Him, Bunduk, and Ivanhoe managed to get away from the battle up to an oak tree on the nearby mountain. They sat and watched as the battle unfolded. He saw blood and guts flying everywhere. People's faces he recognized on the ground... lifeless. Bolts, dead bodies, and dropped weapons littered the ground.
           It was at that moment Johnny broke down and cried. He cried like never before. He hoped and wished with all his heart that this could all be a dream and he could just wake up and be with his family, But this was real. This was really happening and he realized he had to pull himself together or die. He fell over and went to sleep crying, while his friends tried to wake him up.
            Johnny awoke, he saw blood all around and men scavenging. "What happened?" He asked Rand. "we won, but we took a lot of casualties" Rand said. He, and the rest of the unit took time to morn the deaths of their friends. "Crafty Bastards, tricked us and attacked from behind!" Bunduk said, with rage in his voice.
         The next day Johnny awoke to the now familiar, sound of drums. "We're movin out!" Count Kurnias announced.



Still not finished with this chapter. I'll add more later.

I'm working on a really long chapter. The problem is that I have to play so long in game for something to happen. :roll:

Chapter 3:Kelraden castle

           That day johnny marched till his feet could walk no more. Him and Bunduk were both visibly shaken. They were scared that they would face off the Swadian lancers again sometime soon, He was scared he could never go home.
           Johnny asked his commander where they were headed in such a hurry. "Kelraden castle, we're gonna siege it" Said his commander. Johnny was uneasy the rest of the days march. He thought back to what had happened just days before, His parent's deaths. Johnny got angry at the thought of it. He wanted to drive a sword through King Harlaus' gullet! He couldn't stand the thought of killing someone though.
          When they finally arrived at Kelraden castle, Johnny was assigned at covering the engineers while they did their work. Johnny quickly scrambled for cover as the Swads fired another volley of bolts at him and Rand. Suddenly he heard a deep yell come from behind him, He looked back at Rand. "AAHHHHH" Screamed Johnny, The tip of a bolt was poking out of Rand's eye. Rand fell to the ground like a rock. Another soldier came over and pulled Rand's lifeless body away.
         Later that night Johnny fell into a deep sleep in his tent. He awoke suddenly to the sound of screams and galloping. "The camp is under attack!" he thought. He ran outside with the sword he had salvaged from a dead Swadian in the first battle. What he saw made cringe, The Swads had charged the camp, with them setting fire to the tents and crazed recruits running around screaming the camp was in dismay. "What should I do" Johnny thought. It was at that moment he saw a Swadian lancer running his way.
        Johnny quickly got his sword at the ready, with the lancer charging Johnny thought he was ready to take him. All of a sudden A spike of blood squirted out the lancer's throat. He fell to the ground screaming. Johnny stood over him, puzzled as to where the bolt in the old man's neck had came from :? "JOHNNY, GET OVER HERE!!!!" Yelled bunduk, crossbow at hand.
