(An extract from the Saga of Stormwall's Swords).


{{RoleplayNotice}}
== Building by Building, Street by Street ==
Everyone knows that Reganbank is sparse on the side of TRP's, while not a death sentence, it is a very tough place to defend when the only resources on offer are Axes, FAKS and Fuel, to name a scant few.Although these are incredibly useful, sometimes a Shotgun is needed instead of an Axe. Also it should be known that there are no NT's within the suburb, nor Police Depts. But there are a few within easy distance from Reganbank, and they are as follows:


== Oath of the Grey Swords ==
1: Farewell Place Police Department at [20,51] just 1E of Lewer Place in the North East of Reganbank, within easy reaching distance of Nunn Row Fire Station [16,52].


With the onset of Night,
2: Some believe that there is one NT in the Rose district, but instead of this, you will find the Curme Building in Molebank at [11,49]. 1 block north of Buckett Way in the North West of Reganbank. Not helpful if you live far away, but those in Reganbank should be able to reach it easily.  
Until the breaking of the day,
We stand together, fight together and die together,
for that is the Grey Swords way.


Be not afraid, for Glory and Diligence are our brothers in this war,
With these both within easy reach, and if maintained, Reganbank is not such a tough place to live. This should allow the better organised defence of Reganbank against an inevitable pounding that the suburb always gets.
this war of undeath, corruption and the End of Times.


We will be here until the stars themselves burn out, and the Universe collapses,
{{UWD}}
for we are Grey Swords.


We stand together, we fight together and Die together.... For that is the Grey Swords Way.

Leave a message on the discussion page here.  Then you just change your Group Affiliation to the Grey Swords, hook up and join the fight.


== General News and Reports ==
We are looking for Survivors from level 1 to 41, with any skill and any (or no) equipment. The Grey Swords will support, protect and work towards your goals as we would expect you to forward ours. As the group is based around the principles of MMORPG, and RPG's in general, it is your decisions which will make the character you want, not someone else.


26th of May 2011: Having had a prolonged period of absence, Osric is back! Although it seems to a city completely overrun and without much organised resistance anywhere... I have only seen a handful of survivors on the streets and too many zombies to count. Looking for a powered NT in which to regroup and get back home.... but the Grey Swords are back!
As there is just one of us active, this group is built on co-operation and communication, meaning that even with limited numbers but combined with force and communication, we can and will overcome larger numbers.


'''16th of August 2010: NEW GAME UPDATES'''!
{{Dam Tactics}}


Grey Swords, nominate St.Maximillians as your Safehouse and survey if possible. That way it will become easier to defend with all the new AP.  
{{UWD}}
So if this group sounds like something you want to be apart of, let me know and let's fight for a small place of Malton to call home.


Evinest, nominate Ashenden....

{{RoleplayNotice}}
Reganbank is reasonably safe and secure at the moment. Few zombies prowling the streets, and those who are more a nuisance than a threat at this precise time. Grey Swords are growing and have recruited a few new member in the last couple of days.


The Lantrowe building is still standing tall and mighty. She is fully powered and garrisoned at the moment.
Things in Malton are very dangerous at the moment. The Northeast is under heavy siege and over half of Malton is under seirous Attack. The survivors in the West and Southwest have a secure position for the moment, though it may only be a matter of time until the either we push them back or they attack us.

== The Grey Swords support the following ideals: ==
News is that MOB is coming. We will prepare ourselves to do battle with the enemy and defend Reganbank till the last. We will be united with our allies the OBR and Section 13 and will aid them whereever possible.
 
29th Januaury 2010:
Well finally the zombies have attacked. And we have been caught napping. But no longer. Soon we will reclaim our beloved suburb, alive or dead. We have brave allies beside us and we will prevail over these troubling times. --[[User:Brukhalien|Osric Stormwall]] 19:52, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 
'''The Grey Swords''':  
A small, organised, stubborn group of survivors dedicated to the defence and maintenance of [[Reganbank]] and more recently, the suburb of [[Mornington]]. Reganbank as many know, is pretty much a TRP wasteland, with few resource building of any worth, such as the few Fire Stations and one Hospital. This is one of the reasons for being here in the first place. This "lack" of resources means that survivors in general have to be of a stronger stock to make a home out of this suburb, how it should be in a zombie apocalypse. Mornington, to the Grey Swords, is a the key to defending Reganbank. It has easily accesible Police Depts, in the form of Ashenden Way and has enough to Hospitals to keep the supply lines open.


Osric Stormwall was the first Grey Sword, finding inspiration to form a group during his time with the Knights Templar of Kempsterbank and Wray Heights. Even though he was shown respect and camaraderie within the group, Osric itched to find somehwere and start a group from scratch, and to build it with his own two hands. Walking across almost every suburb in the southern half of Malton, Osric found a home in the wilderness of Reganbank, seeing its strength in himse;f. From then on, Osric has walked across this fair suburb and has found himself a home in the [[Lantrowe Building]]. He is joined by three more Swords, Evinest, Richand and Bearded who fight everyday with him to push back the darkness.

== Grey Swords Code of Conduct ==
1. No Zerging - No Alts within 10 block, nor within 20 blocks. They should have nothing to do with your group member, the group or anywhere near the suburb you are operationing in i.e. If you are in Reganbank, they should be in Pennville.
2. No Spying Whatsoever- Don't join other groups to get information or join other forums in hopes of gaining insider information. This is not the Grey Swords way. We will meet the foe on the battlefield fairly and without any thoughts of cheating. To do so is to lower the standards of our gaming.
3. No Player Killing - DO NOT KILL another survivor for any reason. Unless proven that they have attacked you (Unshakeable proof that they have attacked you) then you should not raise your Axe, knife, shotgun etc. against another survivors. We are there to protect them, no kill them.
If a group was involved in the killing and can be identified as Pkers in mind and soul, then you have the full support of the Grey Swords (in spirit aswell as in physical force). 
4. No Generator Killing - These are for the common good and should not be destroyed. It's as simple as that. If the burb is in a state of emergency, then a generator may be destroyed for security reasons only.
5. Use the Radio wisely.  Always help a new survivor out if they ask for advice. We are here to protect [[Reganbank]] and her people, not act like idiots.
6. Do Not Kill Zombies at Revive Points - The only exceptions to this rule are brain rotters or Black Listed characters. Be sure to check the revive points on the wiki for any suburb you are in and avoid killing ANY zombies at these specific locations.
7. In Fact, Do Not Kill Zombies in the Street. - There is no greater waste of AP than to kill a zombie simply standing outside. Wait for them to breach a building before counter attacking with the troops. If you want to level up, healing other survivors is an easier, not to mention safer way to gain experience.
== Goals of the Grey Swords ==
'''1: Defend and rebuild Reganbank and her sister suburb of Mornington.'''
'''2: Protect the Ashenden Way Police Department, St.Maximillian's Hospital and maintain the Revive Point at 16,56.'''
'''3: Aide Friends and Allies in times of need and enjoy doing it.
'''4: Uphold the Oaths we have sworn with our allies.'''

The Grey Swords

A re-organised, stubborn survivor dedicated to the defence and maintenance of Reganbank. Reganbank as many know, is pretty much a TRP wasteland, with few resource building of any worth, such as the few Fire Stations and one Hospital. This is one of the reasons for being here in the first place. This "lack" of resources means that survivors in general have to be of a stronger stock to make a home out of this suburb, how it should be in a zombie apocalypse.


Building by Building, Street by Street

Everyone knows that Reganbank is sparse on the side of TRP's, while not a death sentence, it is a very tough place to defend when the only resources on offer are Axes, FAKS and Fuel, to name a scant few.Although these are incredibly useful, sometimes a Shotgun is needed instead of an Axe. Also it should be known that there are no NT's within the suburb, nor Police Depts. But there are a few within easy distance from Reganbank, and they are as follows:

1: Farewell Place Police Department at [20,51] just 1E of Lewer Place in the North East of Reganbank, within easy reaching distance of Nunn Row Fire Station [16,52].

2: Some believe that there is one NT in the Rose district, but instead of this, you will find the Curme Building in Molebank at [11,49]. 1 block north of Buckett Way in the North West of Reganbank. Not helpful if you live far away, but those in Reganbank should be able to reach it easily.

With these both within easy reach, and if maintained, Reganbank is not such a tough place to live. This should allow the better organised defence of Reganbank against an inevitable pounding that the suburb always gets.

What we do

Steel slammed on bone and flesh as the Grey Sword forced the Zombie back one step, and then another. Sweat stung his eyes, and blood covered his armour but even so he could still tell that the creature wanted him as its next meal. Its kin lay dead on the ground around them, their black, congealed blood already cooling in the midnight air. The other Swords were already wrapping up the last Zombies that remained; he could hear their ghastly moans as they struggled to grab hold of thier enemy. It was a futile effort. The tide of the battle had turned. The Grey Sword redoubled his efforts, gritting his teeth as he dealt blow after blow against the Zombie's rotting flesh. It was unheeding of the blows it was being dealt, and its legs bowed beneath the onslaught. It hissed in anger, its dead white eyes widening as its rotting hands were finally sliced from its grasping arms. They flopped to the ground like boned fish, and still the Zombie tried to get at him, this time attacking with its slackened jaw. “Join the rest of your kind, undead fiend!” With one powerful swipe of his longsword, the Zombie’s head severed cleanly from its shoulders. Ichor fountained into the air, splattering on the Grey Sword’s armor. The creature’s body jerked and spasmed, then finally teetered back to collapse and be still. The head kept rolling, he noted, picking up speed as it made its way down the hill and into the streets below. A hush had descended on the area, and with it he allowed himself a grim smile.
