The Black Hand Mercenaries
(Guild Arms and such WIP)


Renn Veldan and Anthony Sylvatorre were, close, rich friends that grew up together in the streets of a not-so-far away foreign land. Their fathers, feudal lords, had them learn the ways of a knight since they were both of age. Though not-so-perfect in their teachings, their fighting skills were above that of a normal man. Side by side the two yearned for adventure in the city.When their city was sacked by a Germanic, barbaric, tribe, Renn thought it best to leave immediately; Anthony followed. The two took themselves and their treasury to a nearby port-city, where with the money they had, purchased a small, 12 gun fluyt. Word had soon reached them about the plentiful bounties of the land of Crussaria and together they sought adventure. With the remaining fortunes, Renn Veldan hired able-bodied men to join in their lust for adventure. With a small crew, the two set sail for Crussaria and together; they set out to make a name for themselves; The Black Hand Mercenaries.

Upon their journey across the vast sea they stopped along side a coastal village of sorts in which they found a man who was a native to the land around Crussaria; The now Captain Niccolo Alzone. Through their stay at this coastal village they banded together and formed a brotherhood after sharing their idea with Niccolo after gaining his trust. After settling up with supplies for the ship the men headed out on their voyage once more. With the wind in their sails and the sea almost glass like they sailed on not knowing their fates but dreaming for the best.

They soon entered the land of Crussaria and the three men left the safety of their vessel to come into the land and see their current surroundings and see if their was life. After 3 days of voyaging they returned to find their ship ransacked and most of the crew lay dead on the deck and floating in the water...Floating in a pool of their blood surrounding them. Renn was horrified and left Anthony and Niccolo to fend for himself as he ran off by himself into the vast forest ahead of him. Anthony and Niccolo were shocked not knowing what to do other than go to the bow of the ship and start stripping the ship of its panels and removing 3 medium sized chests filled with their fortunes that Anthony and Renn had brought with them to the new land.

A week had passed and Anthony and Niccolo had set up camp and had stayed by their now charred and burning ship as they sat around a fire thinking of where would they go know and what would they do now that Renn had left. Unknown to them Renn had been fighting for survival himself in the forest after dealing with a band of thieves that set out for his clothing and sword that was adorned with a jewel in the hilt. Renn had fought valiantly but was succumbed to human weakness and dropped his blade in the heat of exhaustion. With dead bodies littered around him he dropped to the ground next to his blade as the remaining thieves surrounded and brought him down. Nothing is known after this point than Renn had came back to the ship after 3 weeks of being gone and after a very shaky reunion with his counterparts escorted them with help of a trader he had brought back with him to a small town called Ravendale.

After many days of rest and trying to get the story out of Renn of what happened to him seeming as his armor was coated with dry blood and he smelled of death. Renn never spilled what happened those couple of weeks he had been out by himself...The only clue besides his armor was the jewel on his blade was missing as if it was pried out. With the treasure they had recovered the trader was very interested in their story and riches and after many a day making out possible deals Renn and Anthony settled on a sum of crowns which amounted them more than enough to carry out their lucrative business.

The trader with his new found riches said he would help Renn out by drawing him a map of the surrounding area that would lead them to a city by the name of Stormhelm. He explained it was a much bigger city and he would possibly be able to do what he wished there. Renn, Anthony, and Niccolo set out on their couple day journey to the land of Stormhelm with a few bags full of crowns and a hope of a their dream. They arrived in the city not but 3 days after their leave from Ravendale and upon their arrival purchased a house in which they turned into a Guild hall for their new Guild; The Black Hand Mercenaries.

How about you let me run my Guild how I want to run it? I've already recruited IG and have been playing on the sever for the past couple of weeks probably more than everyone else trying to set this up to bring life back into Crussaria... I've had so many people IG that want to join and I can't always be IG as well as my Co leader since we're busy with school and work and he's about to be shipped out for training. Thanks for your concern but I have it handled. I'm sticking to forum apps due to the high number of requests IG. I assure you however all those accepted on forums will be PM'd with a IG RP scenario which I will personally be in charge of making for each new recruit.


Thank you for your concern but I have it covered...

PS...
I'm getting a lot of help from Arthur as well with this so far and all except one person which i'm teaching myself about serious RP and how to not powergame, meta, etc... All interactions that my guild have engaged in have been positive and great flowing RP situations which end in both sides being happy with the professionalism and experience that my members and such have delivered.

Your on the top of my list Whyku :) Along with Arthur for sure :)


BTW...Been with that archer for a little and he's understood what he's been doing wrong so it can only get better from there.

I'm recruiting people for jobs exactly for the Merc position but as well i'm helping the others who have a profession but might not like to resort to violence in their RP or would rather just RP a simple worker...

Madcombat

 
So your a noble band of Merc's?  Seems fine to me apart from one thing (Not really a big problem but still persists)  which is the groups name "Black Hand."
Very misleading isnt it?  Makes you guys sound like a band of bandits, killers and cultists specificly, so whats up with the name fellas?
One last thing, why do you guy sign your name under a post?

Some of your mercs need to shape up, the amount of ooc bullshit they do disrupts people trying to actually roleplay. It's getting to the point where roleplay diminishes when BH members are running around town. You claim to have only *professional* members but I have yet to see these quality traits shine.

I've already talked to paintcheck about this and I'm cracking down on all of the BS. I can't be on the server 24hrs a day so I don't see it all. I am however holding all my members to a higher standing of RP now which I'll be watching closely and along with a few other people who have volunteered to help me.

I can now thank the Black Hand Mercenary group for giving me the worst roleplay experience of my three or more years administrating HGN.

Not only are it's soldiers gear hungry, powergaming, rage filled children - their knowledge of common RP terms was a pure dispise. Now, I'm not simply saying this. I actually can't fit every reason to why I discrace your group into one message. I just, can't. Strangerdanger, it isn't you. It's your choice in members, you are completely out of date with what they get up to behind your back, what they do, and how irritating they are to other people. From running around spamming "Can I has Blowjob" (Actual ingame quote) to PMing eachover in danger "/pm **** Arradorn have seen us, quickly reflag". (Actual ingame quoite). Your men rage at any sign of defeat in any circumstances, and when proven wrong the personal insults this groups reputation is based around and attitude begin.

Upon todays events other admins send me messages such as "*** has used '/W Alexander now you realize what I've been trying to deal with on a daily basis...'." and "I've experienced this with them too".

After my event with said group, I told them to forget todays incident and I shall discuss it with other admins. After catching a number talk in whispers behind my back, sharing discusting comments I kicked one of the mercs. Immedietly the rest began a chorus of "I can talk, thankyou" and "you don't deserve to be an admin". After a second kick, STRANGERDANGER himself would log on, fed by the lies of what his group had done and begun an offensive.

"[LOOC] Joseph Rowntree: He's an admin
[LOOC] Joseph Rowntree: Shit NEEDS to go his way"
Oh haven't I heard this before.

I have been spied on by the Black Hand 3 times. Once caught, all three caused rage and d/c'd after calling it a void.
I have had one failed assassination attempt, the assassain told me it was a OOC joke and ran away.
I've had one family member kidnapping, which again was voided.
And lastly a number of combat incidents. Which, the two that you sustained any injury, you voided.

Strangerdanger is a good RPer himself, but his knowledge of what his group does is outstandingly awful. It is extremely fustrating tracking down 3 black hand members IC to see them actually discuss in PM wether they should reflag and void us.

I made a mistake with your group, I've been avoiding many smaller issues when they risen, in hope Strangerdanger could educate them. Today I was proven wrong, and I can not, and will not roleplay on the same server as these people. I would like to see this group disbanded as soon as possible, and I think many people can back me up. You're not mercanaries, but loot hungry bandits.

Thanks for reading, i'm up for chatting if anyone wants and apologise for any typos.

Oh, sorry to doublepost. But I told them about my request to disband your group but again, through forum PM's thinking its private, they plan to recreate the group and/or change IC names if needed to keep secret. I do not trust these players to even be in HGN, Except Strangerdanger whom I do trust to an extent.

Ravanger

You can stop Thy they have already been disbanded.

You are not aware of their wrong doings Ravanger, apologies. Paint has evidence and will dish out something when he has decided what. - I'll just sleep till then as no one can argue with evidence, or so many witnesses.

Edit: Holy shit so many supportive PMs, thanks!

whyku

The once Black Hand members joined a cult that was created by Rommel to kill all Arrandorn.

NexusProdigy

What is with everyone in the group going after Arradorn, ss there an actual IC reason or they just doing becasue they fucking feel like it? I am getting tired of getting ambushed outside of the city by some cultist douches almost everytime I am on my Arradorn character. It is getting incrediably annoying.

whyku

Well try getting attack/followed/fuck over in town all the time.

RAPTOR

I chill quite often.

whyku

Made the image bigger, I can't read shit that small.

Well he was sfing me and said he tried to get an admin to help him since he got a lockpick kit or something then he was trying to lockpick into the tower, or something like that

Someone should have confronted or looked into it before makeing crazy allegations.

But I do know these people may get out of hand out of times or do stupied shit, and if any of you guys are reading this don't attack anyone unless their is enough of them to do something like 5 or 4.

Im not RPing with these people, as i mentioned before. Just a warning. Trust them to break into the only building in the port which isnt Arradorn and never has been used by Arradorn.

Plunger

I remember burning one of the leaders to a crisp, guess he didn't get the memo to leave my lighthouse alone.

Looks like I gotta put on the man pants here and do whats right for the server -_-
