Author's Note: I'm going to need OC suggestions from as many different species and places as possible as possible, including Tzarr and Fremmenik. Please include name, preferred method of combat, other skills e.g construction, and of course species/culture. More details at the end of the chapter.
It had come as no surprise to me that the entirety of the surviving cave goblin guards had signed up to join my scratch company, however some of the volunteers had come as something of a surprise, friends and even a few former enemies had come out of the woodwork to volunteer, sadly the various groups who had volunteered were having trouble cooperating, some factions outright hating each other whilst others struggling out of an insular quality the groups had developed over the few days since I'd first been given my task.
So far under my command I had the surviving guards of the cave goblins – about sixty or so – as well as some of their hunters, Malignius had much to my surprise volunteered before I'd even asked him, he'd given the reason that he was merely trying to support his fellow Zamorakians, personally I just think he likes showing off his powers.
The biggest shock however had been when the Cult of Hazeel had turned up at the north gates of the city, having trecked all the way from Ardougne, they had lost some of their number to the White Wolf mountain yet still numbered a considerable – if weak – military force.
Even though they were weak they're tidings gladdened me and raised my spirits for with them they had brought – and through much sacrifice defended – a message from Hazeel himself.
To Scrooge
Despite the grave danger the situation places all those loyal to our lord Zamorak, I myself am unable to directly assist you, until the time of the Ritual passes all mahjarrat shall need their strength, if – our lord forbid – this war lasts till then, we will assist you. Until such a time as this occurs I give you the service of my cult. Who despite their lack of strength shall serve you until their last breath.
Strength through chaos,
Hazeel
It wasn't the most helpful news however the cult had provided me with some half-decent fodder if I needed a delaying action to get the actually skilled combatants away from the battle field.
It also meant that I now had so many troops under my command - despite having formed my company less than a week ago – that I'd had to assign other commanding officers to take charge in an actual battle and in day to day matters. Undak was seeing to the logistical needs of the cave goblins (lots of crossbow bolts) while Malignious, much to his loathing, had been put in command of the Cult of Hazeel. When they'd started worshipping him as well he'd almost incinerated some of them out of frustration; needless to say I was enjoying watching him put up with them.
All of this meant that I already had the combat triangle covered, some weak mages from the Cult, the rest of the cult (fodder), crossbowgoblins and speargoblins. Although I had over a hundred under my command none were as skilled as I would have wished. What I really wanted in my growing army were ancients, but it seemed most of them had joined Sigmund, presumably they were in the desert with him. Another nice thing to have would be handcannonneers but unfortunately I had neither the funds nor the time to put together a single trained squad of them.
I planned on staying in Falador for up to another week before making the move to Relleka to drop my army off at my house having relocated it to a safer location. From there I would walk to Catherby and charter a boat to Oo'glog and hike to the Mobilising Armies Centre, then if all went to plan I would have to walk to Ardougne, get teleported safely to the rune essence – apparently the teleport there worked upon different principles to most teleports so I would probably survive – and then upon bypassing the shield I would teleport to Varrock to get weapons before teleporting to my house – again proven exempt due to it's extradimensional existance. Amazing how plans never work out.
Author's Note: Ok, the chapter is starting to drag and you're probably going to have to put up with another chapter like this before we get back to the combat.
