Sanka Stuff

[Jacques]

The girl Ashpools got to Dynga on March 4, along with the Duponts... and the Llewellyns on March 5.

The spring festival kicks of the evening of the 15 with the 'wild night' where no one goes outside. NO ONE. Quaint rural superstition, really...

The morning of the 16 any of the nobles can wander into the Day of Awakening (http://www.silversenshi.net/forsilvra/showthread.php?t=5133) thread. Admire the giant wicker statue getting built.

For the lords, we can start dealing with fortifications, coming up with plans for the coastal cities, the navy, etc. Mobilization should begin in a couple months.

There should be another meeting with the Shadow coming up... and some Ashpool drama as well as Harrowmont crazyness.

Anybody who wants to declare for Matt should be kicking that off soonish I think? Also... somewhere in there we'll have to sort out Travis at least.

Any questions? Anything else going on in Sanka? Thoughts, suggestions, additions, subtractions?

The Drakes will get to Vykra on April 1. So, since it would be rude to get there before the lord of the city...

Ashpools arrive in Vykra on April 5

Sterlyns and Letalis should arrive April 6-10?

Shadowmeres .... ?

[Jaeryth Costayne]

I'm thinking... add the Costaynes in with the Shadow on this one. Time to prove to the king we can play nice, right? Or will it count if the Shadowmeres go to represent their province lord?

These are obviously not all the major happenings, but most of them should be on there...

[Jacques]

All right, gang! Listen up! We are heading to STOFT.


4/20: Set sail from Vykra.
4/24: Land at Grimstone. Begin seige/sacking/pillaging/etc
4/27: Get bored of sacking Grimstone and look around for something more interesting to do.


You can write your own posts for this stuff, do solos, thread with each other happily slaughtering the NPC hordes, or really whatever you want. Put small mammals on pikes. It's up to you.

[Jacques]

STOFT, Cont'd!!


4/28: Sail to/land in Hengill (it's like 1/2 day from Grimstone)
4/28-54: Lay siege to Hengill. It's a bigger city, more people, and not just been through an attack so shed some blood. Expect some NPC lords and knights to perish, have some brave, scrappy last stands, all that jazz. The skalldings don't have castles, so we're not tossing against stone walls, but we're going to have to fight from landing on up to the city. So, be scrappy and brave and fight with valor and dastardly underhandedness!
5/5: Pathfinders come in under a white flag to have a chat

Again, I'm not going to attempt a structured This Is Battle thread. I'll post the landing to get you started but you guys can tag on there or post your own things. :)

[Jacques]

STOFT/wrap-up

5/7: Parley's over. Prep for heading home.

5/11: Troops arrive home.

However, I'm going to ask you guys to please not post anything after 5/6 just yet. THINGS must happen, which will be sort of BIG. And possibly dangerous. So. nothing past 5/6 until I tell you so. :P

[Jacques]

5/7: ALRIK DIES.
5/8: the king's ship flounders, the rest of the fleet sails on while the Ashpool and Sanseverino ships deal with it...

5/11: Everyone makes port, the news of Alrik's death is announced and ravens are sent to the province lords/prospective kings.

5/13: Sanseverinos set sail with Alrik's body and Sterlyn forces, taking Serenna with them.

5/15: Wedding of Elysia/Lazarus and Aelina/Gabriel

5/16: Shadowmeres set sail for Glodhet.

Heads up, Sankans! We aren't even nearly there yet, but June 1 the court leaves Vykra for Dynga. Or at least that's the current plan, don't quote me yet. But we do leave Vykra on June 1- the Drakes have got to be running low on wine and food atm.

[Ashara]

June 3 - the court leaves Vykra for Dynga. Banner lords, councilors, knights, etc accompanies them, unless your character asks leave to attend his own lands.

June 8 - arrive in Dynga.

[Jacques]

June 11: Announcement of Elodie and Rhovanion's betrothal

June 16: BANNER MEETING. Lords take leave to return to their cities. (May leave on 17th if you think they'd want to stay and talk after the meeting)

[Jacques]

Tentative beginning plans

Ok, so basically Sankans, you are in 3(ish) parts:

-Starke (yes I know they need a steward but just go with it)/Tresson/McGovern/Gypsy remnants: Handling the mountain passes guerrilla style.

- Llewelyn/Mowbray/Selidor/Ashpool/half the Harrowmonts joining the Drakes down in Vykra.

-Duponts and half the Harrowmonts will be minding Hsydra.

scratch that... Summer can't do maths. *eye roll* She will do the maths tomorrow before she takes her meds... soo keep your Sankan eyes glued right here, kthnx.

[Jacques]
