Austonio Machete Michelangelo Rasputin Elder III, Esquire, Practicing Wizard at Law: the avatar of insanity

Attacking

Cadwalader Owain Jones: the cunning Great Captain from Wales.

Prologue
"So I've discovered what the yellow-trimmed cloaks do," Lloyd says, addressing the three in front of him. "Since you four seem to be the sanest among us, I can actually show you rather than just telling you."

"I'm honored," said Ryan, smiling.

"Let's save the pleasantries and get going," Cadwalader says, "I'm supposed to be up next."

"Then perhaps we should just inform you of the outcome," Markus says, "I doubt our hosts would like you to be late."

Cadwalader reluctantly nods in agreement, and as they leave the library, Markus and Ryan follow Lloyd, while Cadwalader goes off in the other direction.

The trio reach what seems to be a dead end. Lloyd walks forward and fiddles with the wall a little, and it opens.

"I saw Leo doing that the other day."

They walk in, and see several branching hallways and a small room. In that small room, there seems to be a sort of gathering going on.

Note: Everything below is copied verbatim. Mentally add (sic) after mispellings.

General
Ranged Weapon- Hat-Based Flamethrower

Polearm- Guan Dao

Main Melee- Shortsword

Off-Hand- Flail

Single Combat possible

Army
Tactics- After the odd circumstances that lead to his being put into power, Austonio has proceded to thoroughly confuse his foes by...having about as much clue about what he is doing as anyone else does, IE none. His seemingly random and completely batshit tactics leave enemeis confused, disoriented and make him near impossible to predict or react to...but it's hardly an efficient tactic. How he's won anything is anyone's guess.

Attacking

3,000 Swordsmen, full iron armor with no helmets or shoes. We couldn't afford another 6,000 shoes.

3,000 Bowmen, carry a quiver of 40 traditional arrow and 10 arrows made to be lit on fire as flaming arrows, wear leather armor with large cloth cloaks that allow for blending into folliage, and can easily be brushed off in emergancy.

1,000 Horseback Pikemen. Wear light leather armor and skull-caps.

1,000 Horseback Archers, carrying a larger quiver strapped to horse's sides with 80 traditional arrows and 20 arrows meant for fire. Wear light armor with a basic helmet.

5 Battering Rams, no crew. They're there to strike fear into the enemies hearts. Because they're all painted and shizz. Spooky paint.

5 Trebuches, manned by 10 men each and firing chunks of rock and debris. Some of the projectiles can be lit on fire just before firing for fire damage. Naturally, this is used more often than it isn't.
