Mass Combat

Link to Mass Combat Rules

Rules Modification:
     1. Leadership factor = level + (average of wis + int + cha)
     2. Experience Factor = (average hp/4.5 x 10) + (Lvl or HD x 10) + (Magic Lvl x10)
     3. Equipment factor = (average damage x 5) + ((11-ac) x 5)
     4. Mounts add HP and average AC with rider
     5. BFR = Leadership factor + Experience Factor + Equipment factor
     6. If BFR is over 125 take the square root of the value over 125 and add it to 125 to get the final BFR.
      Example BFR = 150. 150-125=25. square root of 25 is 5. Final BFR is 125 + 5 = 130

The Battle of Elephants and Assassins

The Landfall forces of Archduke Lernal and the Thieves Guild were defeated in open battle just a few miles outside of the city by a combined army fielded by the Lords of Norwold. The hard fought battle ended with the Landfall army mostly routed and a few elite units surrendering. The Archduke and Baroness Bulga were killed during the battle. 

On the left flank, Lords Rolf and Veliko led their horse archers and Mythas Heavy infantry to a grinding victory over the superior numbers of the Landfall militia. In the center, Lord Koract and Master Kaga skillfully led a combined human/dwarven force against elite adventurers to a bloody stalemate. On the right flank, Lord Tull led a 1,000 heavy cavalry impetuous charge into Nomad Elephants and killed almost half of the Elephants on the initial charge. In the end, the entire Landfall force either routed or surrendered.

Muster the troops for the looming assault on Landfall!

Prior to the assault on Landfall, the Lords of Norwold must choose an overall commander and allocate forces among the army center, left/right flanks and reserve.

Lord Veliko Declares for Unseen Forest and New Keep in Woodhaven

In a completely unexpected turn of events, Lord Veliko Yantra of Woodhaven has declared his membership in The Order of the Unseen Forest. As an auxiliary to The Order of the Holy Blade, The Order of the Unseen Forest has a long history of providing outriders and scouts for The Excoriation. Veliko's declaration is another shift in the balance of power in Norwold and it appears the Excoriation is now significantly stronger than the Castrametation on the continent.

Moondawn Keep was recently completed in the Barony of Woodhaven. Although more modest in size than the keeps in Deliverance and Chastity, Moondawn keep is well suited for Baron Yantra's manner of governing the Barony. The Baron prefers to spend most of his time in the scattered villages among the people of his realm rather than at the seat of the government. When manners of state require, Lord Veliko can be expected attending to business in the hall of Moondawn Keep.
