posted this here since no DMs are about and dont know who to message.
i was carrying my pack and the server was resetting, i didn't know  that wiped items in your pack, so is everything i worked for the last 2 weeks gone and not coming back?.

I saw by the post of lag that there was talk about removing certain necromancy alchemy regents, I must say it will be most troublesome if this happens but fair enough if it helps stop lag, just i couldn't see any more posts on it, so will changes be made to these kind of drops?.

And since i was scolded badly for my recent OOC posts i will say sorry now if this is a retarded question, i just want to know if being a necromancer will be harder now.

Right red knight faction is growing and where doing our little drills usually after this point we get caught up in pvp with rival factions and such, well from what i have seen of other factions in my time, now i have read the pvp rules and guidelines sections even that post of "pc are not pump kins"but where not interested in miaming people if we pvp we want to kill and make sure it sticks, soo what i want to go over is the following, since we fight for perma death.

-Ambushes
-Assassinations

Any tips on doing these do would be great as we dont want seem like a bunch of greifers, mean where all here to enjoy our self s right?

Was going to come out with a massive ranting on good being evil and evil being good but i think it can all be asked with this

Have we stopped caring about our setting?

Background
A firm and solid Mercenary company that believes in the greater good, and always seek an advantage in warfare whether it be a great tactician in joining them or buying up single mercenary's that have proven there skill in battle to creating tools of war, they gather under the banner of the wizard named Seith who teaches the men and woman to have an open mind in not just warfare but life it self, there idea of evil is anyone that would stand against them or there allies, To a red knight planing and strategic thought in battle is everything, there honer is the completion of a contract of there employer, nothing stops them from completing a contract weather they need to allie them selfs with a begger or a necromancer or a demon if it will get the contract done they will do it, for the greater good nothing will stop them.

Accepting
Lawful alignment is the feeling we wish to have, a mercenary company that will always think it through and plan head rather than reckless blind greed for gold and glory, though true evil and neutral can join along with chaotic alignment but some of twisted evil thought my find them transferred into a nice assassin group, wizards and crafter that wish to research and create things that other will not take kindly too are welcomed and aid provided, any none human or sub race is not rejected and will be taken in.

Goals and plans
1.To create a front image of a good standing company

2.To have standing contracts with as many noble houses and patricians

3.Become the patricians army, for the rich and powerful deserve there own private military force

4.To become number one supplier in weapons to potions and archan items and anything that can turn a battle

5.Become a company that can be trusted to do anything to complete a contract once signed

6.To recruit the open minded and faithless and followers of valsharoon to the cause of Varyons hand

Side note
While the group is under way i thought it time that if anyone is interested or wish to know what where about can see here, its also a place if you have an interesting sub human or PC that is too out of place for other groups or you just want to be in a safe company or play a henchmen till you find something better, red knights allow all, please note if you wish to become involved in vayrons hand they have a history of role playing twisted games due to any age is allowed to play we don't want to make people upset in IRL so if you have any concerns please ask.

Every night they rise and we lose one more man what are we to do aginst such foes?- unknow stygian


Introduction

Since the first settelers in our fair colony arrived with nothing but hovels and tents for shelter makeing liveing here we have been plauged since then by a army of undead simple known as the nightrisers since i arrived in this colony i have fell foul to being lost in the ruins since then i have followed them on there patrols hidding for my life as i watch them when the roam the surface and they have my eye i must know more i siad to my self so i researched them noted every move they made now i havent been here long so i also took to asking others about them, reading as much as i could now this book i write help other understand the surface of the nightrisers and perhaps better defend them selfs aginst them.

What is a nightriser?

The qestion of everyone who ether arrives by ship or by the strange device that brings people here when they hear the word nightriserso what is a nightriser you ask? well let me explian, Unlike other form of necromancy wich forcefully brings the dead under ones control in the form of shambleing gouls and zombies that mindlessly eat any warm fleash they come across nightrisers given to the belive that they are willing people turned into the dead that fear sunlight and rise each night to kill any liveing they find with in the colony and ruins area what makes them diffrentis they retian there mind there not shambeling tools like other plian zombies they dead pick weapons up, fire bows,cast magic, they will plan, they will think to out smart you and they are not afride of death for they simple rise once more so when thinking of a nightriser remmber they can think they can gather in numbers they can set a trap for you the can trick you and there not ashamed to use dirty tricks to win never let your self forget that neevr think your going up aginst a bunch of riased corpses done by some amature necromancer never!.

History with the colony

In times gone past it was siad the colony and ruin area where an out post for an empier of old siad to be some kind of prisoner colony where they where keept away from civil citys and a threat to know one, but archan thinkers brought up many ideas some say the colony was a place of magical exprements and the prisoners where used in all manner of sick and crule tests, others say something has cursed thes lands and tainted with some form of evil and others say the nightrisers are a linch kings atmy that are slowly building up to connquer the lands and pruge it of the liveing ether way the nightrisers have vowed to kill all liveing persons in the colony and ruin areas if they do not leave so there ties are strong to these lands as ours there for we have a strange understanding we battle for our right to live and be free in our home the nightrisers battle perhaps we have invaded there home?.

The militery workings of the nightrisers
In my research of the nightrisers they are a strong militery force to be reckoned with they plan and think like any other mercenry company but they have the time the man power and the fact they do not die on there side.
here is the lists

Normal armed nightriser
The commen foot soldier of the night riser armed lightly with a short sword or club and some times with bow and arrows they are in larger number and prefer to swarm there liveing enemy giveing them no chance to counter or run from the fight be wary dont let them back you up aginst a wall they will only pull you down after a bit.


Nightriser soldier
There heavy troops rarely seen attacking but on patrols and walking with there magic users there skeleton bodys are coverd in light armour that hangs off them there armed with a long sword and large sheild there numbers go between 4-6 and there more planned out with there attacks than the normal foot nightrisers prefering to surround and/or cut enemy forces from there allies slowly cutting them down usaly have nightriser archers with them to pick off any other enemys.


Nightriser linch mage
usaly armed with a wand appering out of thin air these ones i belive are there officers setting up ambushes before any liveing enemy knows whats happeing and haveing soldierrisers and foot ones swarm them while there pushing on the linch archan user uses his necromantic spells to confuses and deal death to his enemys.


the nightrisers may seem to only have a few war classes amoung them but it opens up the most basic battle plans that can kill you such as there
Basic swarm move
foot soldiers backed with archers poison and batter there enemys till there died a simple plan for a nightriser patrol stumbleing apon a fool outside at night


break and storm
something i have seen afew times on there riads on the colony they will first teleport inside at the mian gate beside the sewers once the mian part of the fighting has started they will teleport mage users with footmen on the first level of the ziggarute to break up any spell casters or archers the guard have set up then after a peroide they teleport archers there as well to maximas there kill count.


The unliveing charge
This i have seen only a few times due to the fact teleportion into the gates takes time and much of the colony is alerted due to the fact there portals appear before they do giveing waring out to the colony the liveing charge is when the nightrisers gather in numbers in the sewers then charge up killing all in sight backed with there magic users then once completed its known for a second unit to attack from the temple district to over whelm there forces there.


So when your thinking of nightrisers attacks thats how they form though diffrent riad plans i have heard of there the most commen ones they use remmber a nightriser can think up anything they just dont need to as you need to remmber while you lose one man each night they lose none.

Building A Effective Milita Force
 
Index
 
Introduction
I see many armed forces in this new home of mine poorly planed and poorly lead by people, so am writting thes books to pass my Knowlage of all things Miliatary on to others so they can go there very much doing it wrong, now on with it.
 
Start Of Milita
Militas are one of the basic defence forces out there dateing back to the start of any civilization in our world made simple to defende there own homes or towns made mainly up of the resedents in the area who have the time to help out the mian back bone of the milita forces are basic weaponry and men rangeing from archers to footmen armed with what they can make or get there hands on and given some form of traning on basic sword play and bow skills given to them thes men are usaly offered by the local town leader a place to sleep and a good meal and ale at the end of the days work this usaly brings in some good numbers of people but you need to get sorting them a milita only holds out as long as the leader holds out you must remmber that thes men are not trianed in military form they lose there leader thes men will break never forget that!
 
Sorting your Milita Force
The Capt of your Milita force should be a skilled fighter with a quick mind and strong will to keep things in cheack let him pick his own seconds now once you have a Capt and some group leader the next set is there place of secerity this usaly doubles as barracks and jail house and command center for any defence actions taken by the milita it should have good space clear outer area and can be held by a small number of men and be stocked with all there supplies have the milita also act as there own support staff this usally keep them in top line and teaches them new skills in life, once done your milita force has started it has a HQ and a secure jail area and supplie pen there ready to defend your town!.
 
When Your Milita Take Action
When the times comes for your milita to take action the must be doing it by the local town rules! it would not be good for them to be sum crazed mob of men or seen as the bully boys of the local tyrant never do you and your milita rally on the towns friendship as a large part of your defence and action take the following examples.
 
Example 1:A well liked resadent of the town has been charged of theift the milita job is to bring this resadent in to face his charges and defende him self, THERE NOT! to barge in sword dagger first and take by force and not explian to the locals why there well loved story taleing bard is being beated senseless and draged to the town hall, They are ment to go to his house and explian the charges aginst him and take him in only if he shows he will resist arrest is he to be not beaten senseless but subdued and taken in also if any local protests or ask why Do Not! have your men tell them they can not know a milita is a public service not a state police group or an Military group there local towns people as well and should be seen like that so.
 
Example 2:When riaders come up wether it be goblins or a orc warband you must use your milita to sort out the towns defences and people useing the towns skilled to help in the defence and others doing what they can from ammunition collection to makeing spears and arming all of age YOUR MILITA is not a special unit of armed men that can do everything they are part time they are just locals playing bodyguard there moral is low there skills are low and your numbers are low! you shouldent split town and milita groups part the mian towns defence comes from its locals and there knowlage and skills to support the defence also have them working with each other never trian your men to think there better than thos that they defend.
 
Last few Tips
1.also get what gear you can for your men and have them miantian it and work for better stuff
2.offer any members small perks like keeping loot on defence actions or free meals and beds
3.Alwas keep an eye on your mens moral there just locals not soldiers if they have a capt and 2-3 Lt to follow they will hold up pretty well
4.Alwas make sure each member is armed and tranied with basic bow and sword skils
5.make a few action plans for lone or lost milita men to do like if they see enemys comeing make sure they know what to do simple plans for warnings to get across usally bolds well.

Writter: General.shadow

There many servers on the role play area but is there any other ones that are like EFU that i can get involved in?.

This is basicly an all around crime group while keeping in the ok side of the moral compass basicly rouges and low commen sell swords basic loyalty and standerds and basic thing a time killer to do
requerments: no lawfull good,no evil nutrel,any race and any class but most friendly to rouge and fighter
the group par takes in many avtivets from petty thieft to guild house break ins and graverobbeing petty scamming to mass black mail and gold lundring and hireble thugs
Note: the leader does not par take in cold blooded murder but he likes people that can do and likes people that speak plianly.
 
i hope to have much fun with this group
