In the list of famous mercenary orders, from the Black Company to the White Company, the Awful Company is oft listed first (alphabetically).

And so begins the adventure of the mercenary 69th Awful Company...



I'm under attack! Our target got the better of us and the company has been brutally cut down in an ambush! I look over just in time to see the captain get his throat cut. Luckily I still have veiled boner fuel, A Bakers Cousin, and Grant DaNasty by my side...

don't worry about names just yet I can't change those at this point.



Corpses are everywhere. Our target, Hoggart the Weasel, can be seen running off to the east with his bow. Our three brave company mercs are the three guys furthest to the west and two of Hoggart's men remain. Our crossbowman takes a shot at the brute with the cleaver but misses. He reloads his next shot. Our axeman steps forward and brutally slays the man in one overhead chop. Our spearman moves forward to the remaining brigand. Our crossbowman steps over to get a clear shot but misses while Hoggart makes good his escape. The last enemy takes two swings at our spearman but misses. In return our spearman skewers the luckless bastard, somehow tearing his ear and taking like 80% of his life (RNG :shrug:). Our axeman then steps forward and with another overhead swing ends the poor bastard, bringing the battle to a close.

Kills:
Axeman: 2 Brigand Thugs (2 Total)

Wounded:
None!

Dead:
None!

Loot:
We salvaged both the axe and the cleaver, though they're a bit damaged.



Again don't mind the names

So you remaining three valiant mercs have decided that I'm the captain now. We've decided to clean up this mess and bury the dead and head back to Waidtal for our pay. After all, we did kill Hoggart's men and you guys seem to be concerned that the arrow I took will do me in too without a break. Where's Waidtal, you ask? We'll talk about this in the next post since it's gonna start with a map shot and there's some things on that interface I should explain!

My character shakes his head sadly. If it was merely small, his sword might be of a more reasonable size.

He goes back to sharpening the great, hulking blade. Soon, he'll get a chance to join those mercenaries he's heard so much about. His chance for revenge on the goblins, or for the sweet release of death.

"Where's Waidtal?" or "What the hell is this gay rear end earth anyway?"

This is our world.



Some things you should know are that we're all the way to the right about center vertically. The flag with the dude cutting off he own head is us. Right next to us is Waidtal. That golden disc thing on it indicates that its our current mission objective (which can be seen on the scroll deal to the upper right).

At the upper left is Gold, Provisions, Tools and Supplies, Ammunition, and Medical Supplies. Gold is obviously the currency of the game. It governs everything. Our mercs get paid and supplies/equipment get bought. We get gold by selling poo poo and completing missions. Provisions are next to the little picture of the steak and are the food our company automatically consumes. Gotta keep the boys fed. There's lots of different food items but they just offer varying amounts of overall provisions and differing spoiling rates. Tools and Supplies are next to the symbol of the crossed pliers and hammer. These are automatically consumed to repair our men's damaged equipment as well as any items in our inventory we specifically designate to be repaired (we prolly won't ever do this). Ammunition is next to the quiver/arrows symbol and is automatically consumed to refill our men's ammo for bows, crossbows, and throwing weapons. Bows use arrows and crossbows use bolts that have to be equipped with the mercenary and have an ammo limit of like 10. This is all they carry into a fight (more if you have a spare quiver or something in their inventory to switch to). Likewise a throwing weapon has an ammo limit and takes up slots like quivers and such do. All of these are replenished after battle by the Ammunition supplies the company has. Medical Supplies are next to the bandage/herb symbol and are automatically consumed to heal our ragged band's wounds. The grayed out trophy symbol would normally have an Ambition next to it, which are little rewarding side goals that will come in later.

At the top you have the general day/time listed and the moon/sun thing gives an approximation of time as well.

At the top right the button with the head on it accesses the company roster/inventory. Next to that is some camera control crap and a button to camp out where we're at. Camping will let your dudes rest and heal faster but you're not safe by any means. There's also a button to explore the world's factions and one for an obituary that will be FAR less detailed than I plan to keep in the OP.

Then there's the three flag types on the map itself. Those indicate which of the three factions in the world those towns/cities/castles belong to. By and large factions mostly just leave each other alone. But one of the three end game crises is that changes hard and the factions throw down really hard. They got some badass troops and knights and poo poo too.

Anyway Waidtal is pretty close. Let's go get paid!



That's us on the right. So we march into town. We're a sorry rear end sight.



They jam a hot poker into the hole I got from that arrow and patch it shut while our employer tells us that while Hoggart's boys are broken up he's still disappointed we didn't get the Weasel himself. I tell him we expect to be paid for what we've done.



Not only is he willing to pay us 400 gold for what we've done, but he'll throw on another 400 if we finish off Hoggart. Feeling a grudge welling up, I tell our employer we'll do it. So as we leave our employer's house one of our boys steps up and says we need more men, at least three. What we can't recruit here in Waidtal we can find in neighboring Salzfels. He also suggests that we equip everybody as best we can. In the mean time our employer will be pinning down exactly where Hoggart is now. So off I go recruiting and shopping!
