Thus so far...
The Academy was awakened at 2:46 in the morning by an urgent call. Mistlings had invaded Silver Mote, and appeared to be using tactics. Thus, the Emperor's generals demanded the full force of the Academy.
After the Academy's forces arrived, the Headmaster used his telekinetic powers to push back the Mistlings and turn the tide of the battle. From there, the students were deployed.
Where can I roleplay?
Use the board titled 'the Pearlmist Bridge and the Mote of Silver' for this plot! You'll find several threads within. Our members are all friendly, so feel free to ask if you can jump in!
Have fun!
- TIME: 2:46 A.M.
- WEATHER: Moon overcast with storm clouds. It is not raining yet, but appears to be very close.
- CHARACTER POSITIONS: First and Second Years are busy defending the Academy (as a backup, it's not under attack) while everyone else assists in the battle.
- BATTLEFIELD: Silver Mote. There is a wall encircling the entire mote split in the middle by another wall, thus creating three layers of defence: an outer wall, a middle wall, and an inner wall. The inner wall then gives way to the second mote of Atlantis.
- BATTLE PROGRESS: Operation Torrent, with assistance from high-level students and elite military brigades, has spearheaded an attack against the Mistlings. With aerial cover by Operation Nevermore, they hope to:
- Push the Mistlings' line back to Pearlmist Bridge and thus secure the Silver Mote.
- OR Break the Mistlings' line and divide & conquer like Napoleon.
- Several feints are going on along the sidelines to fool the Mistlings and keep the spearhead's flanks clear.
- Artillery batteries are being placed along the wall encircling Silver Mote.

"I want the first and second years to begin fortifying the Academy and engage standard defense procedures. Any hands that can be spared go to help speeding the third through sixth years on their way. I want Imperials either with their squadrons or on the wall, learning from the generals. Beastmasters, Shadowseekers, Blades, Mesmers, Reapers, I want them all on the ground with the main fighting contingent. Knights will go to the medical brigades and assist there. Blacksmiths and Entrepreneurs can go and assist with the artillery battalions. I can't give much more instruction until we actually get there."

"I want eyes everywhere I can. Group together the Shadowseekers and send them to scout out the area we've lost, get some sort of tactical redoubt. I want any especially gifted Imperials with no squadron up here, learning from the generals. Otherwise, we'll make a concerted push into the field. I want Operation Torrent spearheading it with aerial backup from Operation Nevermore. Their flanks should be guarded by the Reapers and Blades. Scatter Knights, Mesmers, and Beastmasters through the different platoons, so that their strengths make up for others' weaknesses. Group together Entrepreneurs and Blacksmiths for in-field repairs. Since we've got aerial cover, get some artillery batteries up here."
