A Stalwart Defence of Lord Xbow of the Scottish RebelsThe air hung heavy with an eerie feel as Lord Xbow of the Scottish Rebels returned from a trade run into the Order of Saints territory. He had seen a potentially hostile army in the region and was making for Dirigh Aban with maximum haste. Xbow couldn't help but feel that something was wrong. "Send forth a rider to Dirigh Aban with our fasted steed. The roguish bandit Krosis has been spotted in the area. He is in Acre lands and will face the full force of our trade laws should he attack us. Such behaviour will be met with fierce punishment. We will have need of reinforcements of troop and equipment." Xbow spoke to his scout leader Savage Roktal. Roktal responded quickly "Yes sir it will be done. Forbid a fool a thing and that he will do. I will have King Robert Bruce updated on the situation shortly." To which Xbow replied, "Godspeed my brother." Within minutes a beating of drums signaled that Roktal's scouting party was going ahead to warn of the potential attack.visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginXbow had been right. Within a couple hours of dispatching Roktal torches and riders could be seen closing in on the trade party. Krosis must have ordered his men to double time, a costly mistake as once they were reinforced the Scottish Rebels would easily turn back the exhausted bandits. Knowing the party would not make Dirigh Aban in time to fortify properly Xbow ordered that the remaining troops dig trenches deploy spike walls and dig in for the assault. Robbie Burns had been commanded by Xbow to direct the fortification efforts, as well as to keep morale high among the now impending defenders. Speaking with the soldiers putting up fortification Robbie was happy to report high levels of morale and a near indecent amount of shit talking. Unable to contain his laughter at the things he was hearing Robbie spoke "Haha you fucking animals, keep that filth out of the ears of the lordship, I like your spirit however... I do myself expect to cut off the heads and shit down the throats of these bandits. That being said... please ensure the ladies of the court aren't exposed to yours and my twisted thinking.visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginReinforcements had arrived just in time, King Robert Bruce himself rode to ensure the safety of his men. Upon arrival he was flanked by his two knewly knighted Kingsguards. They sounded the royal arrival as King Robert Bruce went to the war tent to meet with his Lords and Officers. "We've arrived with all the men and equipment needed. This will be a glorious day, let us make our ancestors proud let the forefathers of Scotland rejoice in this bloodbath." the King spoke. With a short tactical discussion had the men moved to prepare for the field battle. As the rogues were moving closer to the lines of the Scottish Rebels they began to see the fortifications and that they had not been able to attack an under-geared and unfair opponent, their disappointment was visible and perhaps even audible. Eager at the chance at blood and glory the Scottish Rebels could be seen with grins on their face, some even opting to not wear armor and fight naked as had their forefathers. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginThe enemy had superior terrain advantage and had taken up position on a cliff high above the Scottish Rebel fortifications. Luckily enough siege defences had been placed to protect the men from enemy ranged fighters. The Scottish Rebels had taken up position on the bank of a river, forcing the enemy to wade through chest deep water effectively negating their ability to dodge missiles and move quickly. The first 45 minutes of the battle consisted of allied ranged pelting the enemy with arrows and bolts. Several elite archers from the Kingdom of Acre had been in Dirigh Aban on a technology based mission educating the maesters of Dirigh Aban. Thankfully they had been present and able to ride with King Robert Bruce to the aid of Lord Xbow, their presence on the field accounted for hundreds of dead enemies alone. This was rather amazing considering the cliff the bandits were positioned on seemed to have some dark magic upon it blocking arrows and bolts in thin air. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginSeeing the superior position of the enemy and having discussed battle plans with the other officers Xbow knew this was the time for the charge. Ladders were dropped across the river and the charge was ordered. Fiercely offended that someone would have the audacity to try and murder his men in their own territory Lord Xbow and King Robert Bruce could be seen charging into battle first cleaving limbs off left and right with their newly acquired Highland Claymores, shipped from their ancient homeland and sanctified with the blood of infidels.Quickly the charge reached the hill where the enemy was positioned. The bandits were putting up much less of a fight than had been accounted for. With only a few remaining enemy archers shooting at the camp Xbow was able to surprise them as they were focused on the troops remaining to defend the archers on the friendly side of the river. "By the rightful Gods of Calradia you will know that we are the hand of justice when I lay the holy hammer of the Gods upon you" Xbow shouted as he kicked two of the archers off the cliff and spun quickly to clip the face of the third with his Claymore. With King Robert Bruce guarding his flank and cutting down the few remaining enemies routing the battle had been won. The victory had been a good test of the Kingdom of Acre and Scottish rebel territorial policy as well as a strong blooding of many recruits. Xbow and Robert Bruce being exhausted from battle retired to their tents to feast upon chicken and ale a glorious victory it had been indeed.

I duel 1vs1 horse vs horse. Dude have nigga long lance that have 10 metres long or something.
Many time i can see as people use this script where horse just standing on 2 feets and does "yhohohohoh".
You should allow more armor, I really doubt that's all the Scottish Rebels wore man ..
yes i know was going to add lots of furry armor [considering they had lots of sheep] but for now i just wanted to rep the banner
Was thinking of making my own clan in the future maybe, how much do banners like this cost? How much does it cost to pay etc? Do you know? I saw you added more armors, not bad. Wish you good luck
Why such a lame poll? Replace with something in the lines of: Do you support the independence of Scotland to allow driving whilst drunk?
