((PVP inspired!))
it was early First Seed the air was still the night still slightly chilly. In side the fort walls dominion soldiers read there books and write home to loved ones. The war was quiet on the Daggerfall front not alot was going on. Fort Ash was behind the lines though still an important postition to hold on to guarding the western flank of the imperial city. Ro'John and two other soldiers stand near a small brazier with a fire lit. They talk about home and what they plan to do when they go home. Ro'John re-counts the days in vulkwasten and some of the crazy things and people there. A hawk flys by the walls and down to the pirch near a large tent. From the tent emerges the Commander of Fort Ash a hefty Altmer who takes a note from the hawks back pouch. He would slowly read over the parchment before cracking a smile and laughing some before returning to his tent. Ro'John would notice this and comment "must be sending jokes to the forts now?" another soldier standing with Ro'john would respond "im sure its another warning from the scouts that an attack is coming this way to the fort but nothing ever comes of it the commander at this point takes them lightly and just thinks inspections are coming." Ro'John would exhale "i just hope the commanders put time into his defenses" he would scuff as he closes his poncho and making his way up the the wall looking out into the dark wilderness. A breeze would blow by Ro'john felt calm and at ease where he was in that moment the world as dark as it seemed stood still for him to admire it. Ro'john retired to his tent for the night writing a letter to is mate before resting.
The next morning the sun was cresting the horizon the gates were open and a dominion group of wood elfs and altmer entered through the gate. The group looked beaten and down Ro'john got a thing of water and brought it over to a wood elf. "What happened?" he would ask. The wood elf sobbed a bit and looked to Ro'john, "The orcs ravaged our force of 30 men and the red guards cut down the...." he would pause and cover his face wiping his eyes "they killed the familes we were evacuating" the wood elf sobbed more. Ro'john in shock that this would happen backed away he knew there was no way any faction of the three banner war would be capable of doing a deed as dark what was just described to him.
The sun was setting and the soldiers returned to their night time routine. The fort commander send a group of riders out to find the Orc and Redguards the wood elf spoke of though they returned empty handed. Ro'John crawled out of his cot and dawned his armor and put his poncho cover on the keep warm since he was to be on the wall tonight. he grabed his sword and made his way to the wall grabbing a spear on his way up taking up his position. "Reporting in im taking over your spot Da'Kir" Ro'john would assert. Da'kir would look a little belittled "Sir is the wall really a place for the Captian?" Ro'john would just smile "I am giving tully the night off so he can rest up and square away his letters home." Da'kir would look to Ro'john "As you wish sir" before leaving the wall. Ro'john stood looking out into the dark wilderness again sword on his hip and spear in hand he stood patiently as if waiting for molag bal to approach not moving an inch. the night dragged on the air however got a little warmer. Ro'John looked around harder thinking something was up. Down from where Ro'john was standing a watchman cried out "SOMETHINGS IN THE WOODS!" Ro'john would use his night eye like the other khajiit watchmen and saw orcs approaching the wall. The alarm bell rung and the fort ignited into a frenzy! Soldiers rushing to their post the orcs ran to the wall with tall latters and tried to scale the wall with them. Ro'john using his spear stabbed a orc before kicking the latter down though two more took its place and they began swarming the wall "GET MORE PEOPLE UP HERE!" cried a watchman as he was grouping up with Ro'John to watch his tail. Ro'John began stabing and pushing the orcs away before throwing his spear into the orc on the latter to his right and kicking it off drawing his sword and slashing another orc in the chest. they swarmed the walls kiling a few watchman but they knew they werent getting anywhere fast. In one of the elevated postions over the wall where archers were firing arrows one noticed the orcs carried barrels. "The orcs are carrying barrels to the wall?" "why thats odd?" a mage would chim in "theres something in those barrels..." with that comment the woods to the north of the fort lite the night with a hail of fire from their catapults. Ro'John screamed "OFF THE WALL NOW!!!" he would rolls off the side landing on the stairs below before the fire hit near the barrels filled with some chemical mix that exploded when in contact with the fire the wall engulfed in flame and the booming explosion that followed the wall was gone and Ro'john was thrown from the stairs to the ground he surprisingly held his sword and he got to his hands and knees and looked back seeing orc and khajiits scattered everywhere. Through the hole marched in a mix of red guards and bretons the base commander himself organizing what was left "TO ME LETS GO!" the two groups would clash swords hitting and flesh cutting would ring out Ro'john would steady himself before being rushed by a breton with a sweep sidestep and stab he would get the breton in the back another lunged forward and a good block and throat slash ended him as well. A few moments would pass by before seeing the Redguard and orc reinforcements appear on the walls Ro'John would grunt as an arrow wised by his helm "FALL BACK NOW!" what was left of the armies stationed at Fort Ash that night retreated out the back of the fort or wherever they could escape from and regrouped at the nickle outpost. At the outpost the Grand Warlord met them there "Who is the ranking officer here?" Sorcalin would ask. everyone would look around "Captain Ro'john is ma am." a soldier would answer "im stationing 2 armies in the area here to bolster our postion the rest of you are coming with me to the elsywer gate. and im gonna need to see you Ro." said the Grand Warlord as they walked into the night Ro'john would rush up the line to her and began recounting what had happened.
