Fire Emblem: An Equestrian Tale; Chapter 1: Honest Hearts (App needed)

[Blue Shield]

(Dawns, Gypsy Heart is a dancer, not a thief... XD)

        Blue nodded, "Their archers are fortified up on the wall... I fear some may've seen me, but they didn't fire..." Blue said, "My guess would be that they were either saving their arrows, or they didn't suspect anything. But I'd take extra caution..."

[DawnsEmbrace]

Hearth smiled, trying to find his typical attitude again.
"We'll win, 'specially now that we have that swordspone fella.
They may just think we're four random ponies, but we're not.  We're four random friends, and that's gotta count for somethin', right?"

[Blue Shield]

        Blue looked at Hearth as he landed to the ground.

        "Yup!" He agreed with a chuckle.

[Puynsi]

Jericho shooked his head slightly.

"An stealthy approach... thats the only way of making it out of this..."

As he drawed a few lines on the ground with his sword, he pointed out the positions of the archers.

"We obviously cant make a frontal assault, the numbers are not in our favour, not to mention that only two of the archers will be more than enough for our Pegasus guy here...as well as the dragon."

Points his sword towards Blue and Dawns, then he keeps drawing a rushed approximation of the surroundings.

"So... I will sneak up inside and take out the archers, then, you will move inside, we will take them with their guards down so it shouldnt be much of a problem..."

Keeps drawing lines with his sword

"After taking out the guards, we will look for the girl, the least we involve her into the battle, the better... so... what do you think?"

He sheates his sword and a chuckle escapes from him.

"I dont know about the escape... but I think we could handle it from there..."

Says while scratching his ear.

"This is just an advice of course, since you are in charge of making the decisions here, you can see this only as a "may be", I will be ok if you decide something else and carry on with your orders."

Says Jericho to Checkmate.

[Checkmate]

((Sorry!!))

Checkmate nodded.  There is another way...I've been thinking about what Hearth told me...perhaps they could carry us in some way?  We could team up, combine our efforts.

[DawnsEmbrace]

Hearth looked Checkmate up and down.
"Yeah.  I can lift that."

[Blue Shield]

        "I see... Ambush them from above, I see?" Blue confirmed, "It's so crazy it might work..."

[Puynsi]

Jericho grumped a little but... he was the tactician.

"If thats your final decision... I guess I have no choice"

With this he stood up and checked if his sword was secured, he will need it later.

[Checkmate]

More likely than not, I may be able to remove some of their number from the air before the battle even begins.  Of course, this means we'll have to be extra careful of archers.  I also have no doubt that, should we continue fighting together, we'll no doubt figure out how to assist each other better.  Checkmate explained.

((Explaining the Support System.  XD ))

[Puynsi]

Jericho chuckles

"I will keep them safe from arrows, but please, dont get in my way."

[Blue Shield]

        "They seemed more like axemen, anyway. I'll drop you in, get the girl, and then try to get her out safely... That's my concern... The bandits aren't doing anything to anyone else, so it'd be foolish to try to decimate that number of them... Blue said. He seemed pretty adamant about getting the girl out while keeping the rest out of danger, if possible.

[Checkmate]

As a recap, here's the plan.  Hearth and I will fly in first, with me striking the archers down.  Next, Blue and Jericho will fly in.  Jericho will stay with us and fight.  Blue, you will attempt to rescue any and all prisoners.  Should any wish to stay and fight, help them.

[Blue Shield]

Blue nodded in confirmation.

        "Understood!"

[DawnsEmbrace]

"Sounds about right."
Hearth was using his front claws to toss his axe in the air.
"But I personally hope we find some gold in that keep.  Ol' faithful isn't gonna last me much longer."
He referred to his axe as he spoke.

"Hop on my back, Cloaky.  I'll give ya a ride."

[Checkmate]

Checkmate nodded, pulling his tome out of his bags and hopping up gently, hanging on for dear life.  Should you drop me, you'll hit the ground alongside me.

[DawnsEmbrace]

"Don't worry Cloaky, this'll be fun!"
Hearth smiled widely and forced his way into the air.

[[Orders, Tactician?]]

[Checkmate]

Checkmate pointed his hoof at a cleared spot on the walls.  Right there.  Not only are there fewer enemies who will respond, but the height will make give me an advantage at attacking the courtyard.

[Puynsi]

"Alright, give me the signal and you will grab me from one of my hoofs, I need a free one to unsheat my sword"

Said Jericho while getting in position with a rised hoof

[DawnsEmbrace]

[[Talking to me, Puy?]]

[Puynsi]

[To Blue, read the strategy recap, also, the servers aint open yet, right?]
