Lord Romulus is accepting last-minute additions to his horde before the conquest of Redwall begins. Does your vermin have what it takes to be a member of his horde?
Application Form. Please read thoroughly before applying.
1. Applicant must have killed a minimum of five beasts before applying. There will be bloodshed. You must not hesitate to kill and/or deal out torture when ordered.
2. Applicant must not be a mindless drone. Thought Lord Romulus appreciates quick obedience, he likes his soldiers to possess intuition of their own. If you see an opening that will gain the horde an advantage, you take it.
3. Applicant must only question Lord Romulus when an apparent flaw in the plan is present. The key word here is: apparent. Lord Romulus has had twenty years to think this through. You have joined his horde a mere few weeks before his plan comes to fruition. You would be wise to remember that.
4. Applicant must possess fighting skills that match or supersede those of Lord Romulus. If you are more skilled than your warlord, do not forget that he is smarter than you are, and he fights a h*ll of a lot dirtier than you do. Inflated egos will be quickly deflated.
5. Applicant must remain loyal to Lord Romulus even when he is gone for an extended period of time. Keep in mind that he has several camps of vermin to keep track of, as well as an abbey to keep running. If he does not visit your camp to ask how you are doing, it is nothing personal.
6. Applicant must respect the exertion Lord Romulus faces every day when dealing with his dual personalities. If he is cross with you because of one of his migraines, you do not immediately assume you have done something wrong, nor do you assume he has given you permission to make a snide remark in return. Absolutely no comments about Romulus' sanity are to be made in his presence unless a real threat to his plan becomes apparent.
7. Applicant must never kill a fellow horde beast. He or she has gone through the same grueling application you have, and is most likely at your same level of skill and smarts. Sparring is encouraged to keep horde morale up, but murder is not tolerated.
8. Applicant must not become emotionally attached to any beast within Redwall. The abbey dwellers are to be subject to Romulus, and they are to be disposed of as Romulus sees fit. When thinking of that mousemaid as 'pretty', think of her instead as 'dead soon', as you too will be if you voice such thoughts in Lord Romulus' presence.
9. Applicant must not question what rank he or she is given. If you are placed as a regular soldier instead of a captain, it is because Romulus has found the best place where your particular skill set will be most useful. This applies to temporary positions, as well, such as sentry or messenger.
10. Applicant must never fight halfheartedly. Though Lord Romulus' plan is designed for as little bloodshed as possible, you must expect retaliation from the abbey dwellers. You were accepted into the horde for your superior skills. Do not hesitate to exercise those skills when the time comes.
NOTE: Idiots, dim bulbs, or any beasts displaying any level of incompetence or ineptitude need not apply. You won't make it past initiation.
All positions are open, and are as follows:
Captains-limit of three: Vassago Bowbeast, (open), (open)
Lieutenants-limit of four: (all open)
Foot soldiers-unlimited:
Messenger-limit of seven: (all open)
I'd like to not have to NPC the entire horde with only Fawn helping me. Both of us have enough to keep track of with these plots. Even if you don't necessarily like playing vermin, think of this as a friendly gesture to me and Fawn. Helping us out and keeping the Redwall plot moving.
Also, don't be afraid to take a higher position. If you think your vermin is skilled enough to be a captain or lieutenant, go for it.
If you have any questions, PM my Romulus account.
Thanks and God bless,
Jan
