Taking Save, Assaulting Metz

[OverKnight]

Metz has been taken by storm.

We now have more Florins to spend.

I seem to have punched a hole in the castle wall. Considering the Germans in the area, perhaps the Seneschal might want to spend some of our new found riches on repairs?

.... And back

Our spy is in Bruges but has not managed to create the conditions yet for our entry into the city.

The siege has begun and the Order men are welcome to join me at my camp. (OOC : to join the King's stack)

SENESHAL REPORT Season 2 (1083)

Le Trésor Royal:

My King, Dauphin, nobles of the realm. The second season was a surprise on many levels.

Her Highness, Princess Constance was extremely busy again this season. I must commend her for the work she is doing for the realm. She is a credit to her father and to the kingdom as a whole.

With the consent of the King, Prince Louis has married the Spanish Princess Teresa el Valiente. It is clear they regards us highly as we received 3000 florins, trade rights, map information and military access plus a royal alliance between our two kingdoms for a piece of our esteemed Prince's arse.

In the south the Dauphin was able to recruit one regiment of mercenary crossbowmen for the pending attacks in northern Spain.

For myself, the pending trip across the channel means I've secured one regiment of mercenary crossbowmen.

[AussieGiant]

We have an unintentional rule violation by me regarding ship movement.

Don't take action on the save until I sort it out.

-EDIT-

Save is now open. Use CDf's latest one.

The ruling by Zim is that the "trip" continues, however I will purchase the extra ship when I land and remove one unit so we have moved only 4 units.

Happy hunting all.

(As an OOC note I moved Gontran de Linars out of Toulouse to see if I could scout out what kind of men were in that little Milanese stack nearby, but he couldn't see them either. This accounts for his reduced movement rate.)

While in general this report contains good news for France, but there is one troubling bit. It appears our most noble Seneschal has decided to send troops instead of a diplomat across the Channel. I don't know how the invasion of the isles will satisfy edict 1.8.1.

I do however, commend his hearty seafaring skills. To fit so many men at arms in such a small fleet is remarkable. Perhaps we can use his skills in moving people from a distant location. Say, Africa, for example.

Save back - joined the Roi's army

As a note to the Roi, the spy this turn has successfully opened the gates for us. I hope he is rewarded for his good work.

Bruges is taken

We've lost few of our men and I commend the men of The Order for the good show they put on. I particularly commend the behaviour of Sieur de Neufville, who if a bit reckless, has shown great valour. (OOC : de Neufville and Philippe both gained +1 chevron).

I also thank our spy Aubry Fevre and send him to our Senechal for further orders.

The suitor that came asking for my daughter's hand has been rebuked but I've found a new use for him : from today, Sieur Arnaud de Vilaines shall be my shieldbearer (OOC : I've declined the marriage offer and got the "retinue expands" message at the same time...). War should take all matters of love out of his head quickly.

SENESHAL REPORT Season 3 (1084)

Le Trésor Royal:

My King, Dauphin, nobles of the realm. The third season was a qualified success.

After his successful mission for the King our agent is now heading to Wales which will hopefully bring about the same result.

Ser Bertin was able to build a watch tower east of Metz. It produced a certain level of “realisation” as to the activities of our German neighbours. They are blatantly disregarding our borders and are threatening Rheims as I write. This could be construed as an act of war in my opinion however cooler heads have advised me not to take this view.

Based on the lesser nobility's request and in line with Edict 1.3, I recruited a priest in Toulouse. This was met with great satisfaction in Rome.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Our diplomat is now heading towards a meeting with the Portuguese princess located near the Pyrenees. I hope he is as successful as Princess Constance.

Her Highness is now heading to Rome by way of Venice to secure another task by the lesser nobility. They do seem to have a number of demands these days, however they have an endless supply of rewards so I amuse them.
