Medieval Total War-esque RP

[Sav]

Garrows' men arrived at the middle of Africa, and attempted an attack there.

[POMC S117]

Aidan's archers made quick work of the horsemen. In the end, only Azeem and his family were left. Korba had been slain. "Bind them!" Their hands were put in chains.

[Gideon Dragontongue]

Azeem touched the fingers of his right hand to his lips. "Peace be upon you, brother Korba."

[POMC S117]

Saracen soldiers appeared under the cliff. From the top, Simon's men could see the Byzantiums hiding behind some rocks. They would ambush the saracens but were clearly outnumbered.

---

The Commander poked his sword at Azeem. "You are guilty of invading Spain, killing many soldiers and killing your own people."

[Gandalf]

Spoiler:

I am?

Simon's archers began firing on the Saracens.

[POMC S117]

The Saracens were taken by surprise. From here, they couldn't see their enemy. The Byzantiums jumped out of their hiding places and began hacking at them. The Saracens recovered and began to beat them back. A Saracen scout appeared behind simon's archers.

[Gideon Dragontongue]

"I am guilty of no crime, but that of which every man is guilty," replied Azeem defiantly. "Go! Strike me down! Allah welcomes those who die honorably by the sword!"

[POMC S117]

The commander spat on him. "Take him to the boats."

[Gideon Dragontongue]

Azeem murmured a prayer, and got to his feet. In one quick movement, he relaxed his arms and shook the shackles from his wrists. "Uday! Somar! Run!"

Spoiler:

Kill him! But let the son escape!

[POMC S117]

The men slew Azeem but the son and his wife escaped.

[Gideon Dragontongue]

Uday ed-Din Azeem ed-Din Bashir al Bachrim looked back at the burning city, where even now his father's corpse lay. "Aidan!" he cried, though none could hear him. "You have killed my father! IN Allah's name, one day, you shall die at my hands!"

[POMC S117]

The city fell. His capital had fallen. Azeem was dead. His kingdom toppled. Aidan's plan had worked. He had managed to spread Azeem's forces thin and he and his allies had conquered his lands. King Aidan held a council in Al-Bashir to decide who got what part of the kingdom and how much they got.

[Free]

Spoiler:

wow wow wow I am still kicking and alive. I was waiting for skyr and shadow to react. I fired arrows over the city, remember.

''Ask for Azeems body..''

''Tell them he needs to be buried within 48 hours. ''
''Gather men to pick him up...And his family.''

''Yes my lord!'' as the guard went running.

The chief put his hands to his face and cried.
"To Allah we belong and unto Him is our return.''

[POMC S117]

No reply was sent and the body was shipped to Spain, where it was buried at an undisclosed location to prevent his followers from rallying around it. The remaining soldiers were placed around Al-Bashir to defend it.

[The-Shadow-One]

The smiling rat went to the council, dress in garb not befitting a king, but befitting a beggar. he smiled "I wish to have part of sicily.. It would be nice." he said asking for that land.
The troops returned fire.

[POMC S117]

Free's archers outnumbered the Smiling Rat's but he had the advantage of being protected by walls.

---

"Yes. We will discuss that once Skyr arrives." said Aidan, dressed in regal clothes.

[Gandalf]

Simon'sarchers remained unaware of the Saracen scout.

[POMC S117]

The Saracen scout ran away but tripped, yelling as he did so.

[Free]

''My lord, they have not responded yet.''

The chief shook his head of disappointed.

''No respect for the dead at all.''
''Is this how people of the book act?''


Smiling rat and Skyr,

Let the citizens of the city leave to Tahert.
I do not wish innocent people to suffer.

Then we shall fight.

High chief Zinedine Ibn N'Soumer

[Gandalf]

One of Simon's archers started at the yell, turned and quickly put his knife through the scout's throat.

[The-Shadow-One]

The smiling rat responded sadly
"I do not wish to kill innocents, nor fight. But My friend, Zinedine, I am being threatened to do this, And since I am such a small place.. I seek not to fight..
The smiling rat.."

[POMC S117]

Spoiler:

You are not being forced!

[The-Shadow-One]

Spoiler:

shush it's a plan.

[Free]

The chief looked at the letter disgusted as he threw it on the ground.

''W...whats wrong my lord?''

Suddenly a voice echoed trough the city.

God is most great, God is most great


''Nothing! Its time for prayer.''
''Sent this letter to them and join us in the mosque.''

Smiling Rat,

Let the civilians go. This is my last request.
Will any strand of hair get cut off a child,
Any woman touched in her honour,
Any elderly disrespected,

By Allah, we shall make the earth shake of fear.

Chief Zinedine,

[The-Shadow-One]

I will let the innocents go..
But I do not wish for us to fight.
The Smiling Rat
He did true to his word.
