[QUOTE="sniffles, post: 2857660, member: 30035"] [b]Three Short Months[/b] I neglected to mention that we had one last 'mission' prior to our three months of leave. Commander K'Von asked us to test some potential new recruits to the Heritage militia. On the morning following the award ceremony we met in the practice yard to find ourselves facing six people who appeared to be from one of the less civilized parts of Faerun. By their attire I gathered they were from Narfell. I expected to be providing them with a demonstration of tactics, or perhaps sparring with practice weapons, but Commander K'Von had a harsher demonstration in mind. The newcomers were to face us with real weapons. I noted that there were several priests from the Lady's temple on hand to prevent any fatal wounds. The newcomers didn't demonstrate much in the way of tactics of their own. Their fighting style appeared to be focused on personal prowess, which I suppose I should have anticipated. Not surprisingly, they misjudged us; we don't look like seasoned warriors. They assumed Latan would be weak because they saw her casting a protective spell on Gylf, and they completely disregarded Percy - more fools they were. Roland began an inspiring oration and the newcomers charged. We made a good demonstration of our flanking techniques. I have to admit that despite their lack of teamwork the new arrivals are strong fighters. The combat could easily have gone against us with one well-placed blow. Hedrin was hurt rather badly.

Zora: "The barbarian rages some more!" Jubilee & sniffles: "Double rage." Devo: "Double secret rage." Zora: "I double-dog rage you!" Devo (to Jubilee): "You should take that feat next level, and then take the feat that lets you run the game." Zora (he's the GM): "I wish [I]I [/I] had that feat." [/QUOTE]
