>>5851790Security is of vital importance to the wellbeing of the Company, given the unknown conditions on this plane. Lord Marley and Governor Gladswell decide to ensure the Company is well armed and manned.
>Develop Mini-Ball AnimationThe Mini-Ball, little sphere of enchanted metal is, while not the most elaborate device to be animated by the wizards of the company, it's most important. An evolution to the previous practice of animating arrows to fly without the need of bows, these little pieces of enchanted metal ammunition are designed to be propelled at tremendous speed. Primitive races would use something mundane and trife like blackpowder, but the wizard simply aims his staff, loads a bit of pixie-dust, and animates them to head towards a target with a thunderous crack of air.
>Develop Heavy-Ball AnimationThe Heavy-Ball is the larger cousin to the Mini-Ball. These are weightier sphere's of metal, thus requiring significantly more magical energy than can be delivered by mere staffs or wands. The entire trunks of magical trees must be cut down and hewn properly to animate these to fly towards the foe, but their power is such that they can smash into enemy ships and castles with ease.
>Raise and Recruit the Company Guard (aka "The Blue Coats")Of course, we would never simply give these weapons into the hands of our commoners willy-nilly. The Company Guard, famed for their striking blue uniforms, should be the first to receive the weapons. These vetted men are paid for and loyal to the Company first and foremost, and will ensure law and order is maintained.
