UO Second Age

Hail citizens,

I am Captain Denthor of Lord British's court. My liege has tasked me with reclaiming the city of Cove from the horrible orcish horde. As thus, I am making a call to all able-bodied citizens who are willing to assist. All manners of aid are required, from warriors to slay the brutal orcs to craftsman to supply the raw material necessary for war!

I have used some of my own personal funds to set up a basic siege camp just north of the city. In this camp, you shall find a series of war chests. These chests serve two purposes, both of which are important if our freeing of the city is to be successful.

First, the middle chest shall be filled with materials of war. Gold, iron ingots, lumber, feathers, and any other resources that are used to build siege weapons and supply troops. If you can contribute any supplies, you will be doing your part in supporting the campaign. The more supplies that are acquired, the more weapons of war we shall be able to construct! Any remaining supplies shall be used to rebuild the damage to the city.

The remaining four chests shall be filled with orcish helmets! Before we can even begin to reclaim the city, we must thin out the number of orcs in it. Enter the city as you are able, slay the orcs, and deposit their helmets into the chests. Once the remaining four chests are filled with helmets, I believe the ranks shall be thinned enough to warrant a siege.

Support the war effort in any way you can! We shall retake Cove in the name of Lord British and drive the orcs to oblivion!
Attention warriors! The orcs have discovered our siege camp and know of the increased activity in the area. Their strongest warriors are making occasional patrols at various points of the day and are attempting to prevent supplies from reaching these chests! Use caution.

You will just betray us like you did Gondor.

The Company of the Vigilant will do it's part to help this endeavour!!

We MUST reclaim Cove!!

It seems a bit harsh to take the orcs' vacation spot from them by force... have you asked them nicely? Or perhaps offered to share the city in the off season? I understand that they aren't the prettiest... or the best smelling for the matter. However, even orcs need a day off from ruthless warmongering and devil worship. And what better place for fun in the sun than Cove? Just a thought...

Hail citizens! We have had some minor donations. Some evil swine put body parts in the chests!

So far, we have only acquired a single orc helmet! We are never going to free cove with such a pitiful showing of support. In an effort to encourage more support, I have erected a training dummy for you to hone your skills and I have set up a small fire outside of the siege camp for supporters to gather around.

My goodness! If Jupiter weren't in such dire straights he'd be rallying the troops! Unfortunately, he his not too well after his excursion into the depths of the catacombs and is physically unable to collect the items needed. (viewtopic.php?f=38&t=33123). However, the great Lord HiccupHorrendous will begin leading small dragon escorted convoy to the location. Any able bodied soldiers contact Jupiter in IRC or on the forums if you wish to assist in this great cause!

Good citizens! Lord Hiccup has reported to me that the fire of victory burns bright at the siege camp! It appears that our good captain has also been able to acquire reinforcements (although only modest in number). We owe a deep debt of gratitude to the ever vigilant Company and the brave warriors of the Ascalon kingdom!
