[QUOTE="jkason, post: 6026834, member: 2710"] [b]Bastian Sangue, human cavalier[/b] [sblock=ooc]Blargh. Level up is taking forever for me. I don't do martial characters very often, so I'm once again stumped on feats. I'll probably just go with Mounted Combat, since it's a prereq for a fair amount of stuff that a cavalier probably should be doing. :) But, shouldn't hold up the RP portion here, so in order to keep from being the bottleneck...[/sblock] The week after the battle is something of a jumble for Bastian. In the space of one bloody battle, he'd gone from being a semi-fugitive and the last of his order, to seeing the prospect of actually and finally reclaiming his birthright and that of House Dulat. It was a dizzying proposition. But none of that was possible if he couldn't make order out of the chaos they'd wrought to secure the keep. Arcata had taught him one important lesson with her speech, that the group was stronger if they all felt included. This couldn't be a simple regiment. It had to be a family to bring the kind of fire they'd need to keep themselves alive. The first of the New Order of the Lion stripped himself of his well-made armor, then. Left behind his greatsword for a borrowed hunting knife and axe, and set about leading by example. He set his back to each and every task he ordered the troops to engage in: digging first graves, then trenches; lifting rock and mortar to shore up the back wall; cleaning the game Sha'ah and his new apprentices brought; and, of course, taking watches and patrols, where armor, sword, and mount all returned to their proper places. They were building their new home, and Bastian was bound and determined they would all build it--and defend it--together. Bastian was in the middle of helping thatch the roof for the eventual temple when word came of the visitor at the gate. He hurried down the ladder, asking Karant to fetch his armor and blade while he met with Arcata by the wall. He was doing his best to wipe dirt and sweat from his brow and exposed arms as he arrived at his lady's side. At her order, the young man nodded. [color=plum]"I was thinking it was just about time for some training exercises, anyway,"[/color] he offers with a smirk. [color=plum]"Gives us an excuse to pull a few more men back into arms and armor without lining them all up behind you."[/color] He moves back down to the front gate, where Karant waits to help him into the plate as Nerfer runs to call for the 'training exercises.' When Arcata joins them, Bastian signals Vanto to open the gate. [sblock=ooc]Now, hopefully I read back far enough and didn't just accidentally bring someone back from the dead in my random troop assignments. :) [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
