Okay, so there hasn't been a post in awhile. Are we waiting for something or...

Upon hearing the sound of men running about and horns going off, Orson got out of his bed and immediately began to don his armor. As he finished Virgil's voice emanated from crystal. Orson listened to him and then Imrael response. "It is not in our favor for them to be ahead of schedule. We needed all the time we could get to prepare for the battle and give ourselves a favorable position."
I like the idea, but the mountains can be traversed which means that we still have to worry about them going over the mountains and flanking us. Even though it might be hard to go over the mountains, its still possible. We should also try to take advantage of some of our flyers to try to find where some of the handlers are so we can take them out. Me and my followers might be good to do the damage because of this item. My cohort has the Lord's Banner of the Crusades and will be quite useful, and it was quite expensive so I would like to put it to good use.
Maybe we can use our high mobility to try to separate parts of their forces and take care of them easily. I'm pretty sure horses are faster than undead, so I can be some sort of distraction perhaps?
I just have a couple questions on how field runners work. How does reloading work for the side guns, and the gun on top? And is the extra ammo is on the vehicle?
"Of course great Imrael. I would be honored to be the hammer upon the anvil to defeat the cursed undead. I agree with your strategy, but I will have to wait on deciding how Sir Raidon and I shall pull off our attack. Without the proper knowledge we might be outflanked ourselves. When the battle commences and we see how the lines clash, then I will be able to decide how Sir Raidon and I shall strike."
I was just wondering. How long has this conflict been going on before all of our armies were called together?
Orson left the tent and walked towards his horse. As he approached the horse a man in a suit of armor rode up to Orson and spoke in a stern voice. "Sir when do we head out? I cannot sit still while these undead are moving through the land." Orson looked up at him for a moment before continuing towards his horse. "Calm down Darren. You will get your chance to fight these undead soon enough." Orson hopped onto his horse and looked towards the soldier who was going to lead him where they were going to camp. "Lead the way, we will follow." Before they began moving Orson turned back towards Darren. "It is nice to be able to fight along side you again. I am happy you accepted my offer."
I do not believe it would affect the price. From what I have read in the siege engine section here. I have not found anything that indicates a price reduction. It makes sense to me for the price to stay where it is. If a bombard was only double the cost of a rifle (rifle is 400 gp in guns everywhere, while a bombard would only be 800 gp is the price reduction effect it), it wouldn't really make any sense. I hope that helps. I don't really know for your other question Imrael, but I hope that we can assume that.
Yea, I was going for the idea that when s@&! hits the fan we don't have all of our eggs in one basket. I do agree we have to kill the massive horde of the undead, but we don't have to over commit everything we have
I was going with that, we don't know where they are or what they are doing. It is quite common for people to draw out an enemy, and assess their strength. This 'disposable' force might be used for that kind of tactic, to assess our strength and things of the sort while they don't lose anything important. Does that clear it up? I can rewrite what i said if you want.
"You are more than generous general. With the lack of knowledge of where the enemies warlords are, we should go in too hastily with a large portion of our forces. They may be using this large force as a distraction to draw our attention elsewhere." Orson scratches his chin, and ponders the possible strategies to apply against an army of the undead.
Orson nods in agreement with Raidon. "Unlike the undead, if we survive the battles ahead we have lives to live. That will to survive and go home to our loved ones does not exist in the undead. I would rather have an army of those who are willing to fight to protect those they love and their homes over an army of the undead any day."
"If we are able to beat them to it, we might be able to set up and use the terrain to our advantage. If we are able to surround them, and force them into an unfavorable position." Orson looks around at the others present. "My men should have all of their equipment sorted out by the days end. They can manage the journey. They didn't come here for a walk in the park."
Awesome, that lets me have a little more fun with the followers.
I have been working through my cohort's equipment, and I realized i will probably have money left over when I am done. Is it okay to use the cohort's spare money on the followers?
There are just so many small rulings that aren't really specified very well for guns everywhere. Like the rapid reload feat is not worded well for guns everywhere.
This might be a bit nit picky, but I am not sure the ruling for this. In guns everywhere is the gunsmithing feat required to repair firearms and create ammo and things of the sort?
Thanks, this is my first game with guns everywhere. I am still adapting to it.
I have a quick question. With Guns Everywhere, are guns still exotic weapons or are they martial weapons?
In response to Imrael. "I can say the same thing to you, this must be a real threat if they call upon you and your people to fight. I did not expect to see you here. I have not seen you in years." To General Stanze. "The journey was quite pleasant actually. I have not had the pleasure of marching with an army in a long time. You have assembled quite the force here." Orson stood tall, his armor covered in dings and scratches from the dozens of battles he has participated in. A sword hangs at his side, with a revolver on the opposite side, and a shield on his back.
Will have my followers and cohort done by the end of the day. Will make a proper gameplay post in an hour or so.
I did not catch that, thanks Kan. This makes my life easier. Time to completely re-evaluate what I am going to do with my followers.
Sucks for me then. I am stuck with 15 level 1's and a level 2, whatever not the end of the world. Unless being a general is considered having great renown?
Just a quick question, because i am not so sure for this. Does a cavalier's mount count as an animal companion for the leadership feat?
Okay this is what I have in my head so far. Cohort - Warpriest? (not sure yet) Followers:
I don't mind making mine a cleric. Kan Mahreena you can go for a paladin to get some heals in as well as a barbarian like cohort
I am okay with you doing a cleric. I actually never realized we lacked heals. For the cohorts, are we still allowed to use our own money on their equipment and such?

Back Story: Orson Lowthorn was raise to be a warrior and a leader. His mother died giving birth to him. Orson's father was a guard employed by a governor of a small castletown, so Orson lived in relative comfort for the first 5 years of his life. However, everything changed when a neighboring kingdom sieged the town as part of a larger war. The outer walls were breached after only 3 days, and the town put to the torch. Only the governor's personal guards and a handful of militia managed to seek refuge within the castle itself. The invaders stormed the castle and put the remaining defenders to the sword. Orson's father hid him in the larder, where Orson watched his father attempt to defend the kitchen. His father was slain in single combat with the commander of the invading army. When the battle was over, that commander found Orson crying over his slain father. In war, the commander was a ruthless adversary, but in peace, he was a soft man known for his generosity, and he could not in good conscious leave an orphan boy to fend for himself in the ruins of the castletown, and so he took pity on Orson, taking him under his wing. The general's name is Andarion Fiero and he became Orson's adoptive father. As a young boy Orson hated Andarion, he was being raised by the man who killed his father and he could not stand it. He would constantly voice it and show his hate for him. This would always lead to a stern yelling and sometimes even a beating if Orson was too aggressive. As Orson got older he began to stomach his hatred. Andarion began training Orson when he was 13 and Orson grew respect for him. Andarion was an excellent fighter and an even better commander. When Orson was old enough he began going into battle with his adoptive father, and learned how to lead troops. During this time he thought of a way to get revenge for Andarion killing his father. Orson decided to become an even greater general than his adoptive father ever was so that he will not be remembered as a great general, but as Orson's adoptive father. Orson continued to train and fight with Andarion until Orson was in his mid 20's. That was when the kingdom had finished its war with the kingdom of the city where Orson originally lived. The war was a long grueling war because the two kingdoms were bitter rivals. The war ended with Orson's original kingdom being swallowed up by the other country. Orson has not had the chance to lead troops himself but with the new threat he will get his chance. The kingdom came to call upon Andarion to lead their army against the new threat, but Andarion is now old and brittle so he sent Orson in his place. After almost 30 years of waiting, Orson now has his chance to become a greater general than Andarion.
