[QUOTE="doghead, post: 1408749, member: 8243"] [b]The south watchtower[/b] When everyone is there, the Sergeant rounds you up, with the exception of Cromwell, into a small group. "Last chance to step back? ... No. Right repeat after me." What follows is a brief oath, to be honest and loyal, uphold the honor of the guard and, of course, protect the town and region from harm. "Welcome to the guard. Now, just a few formalities." A large book is placed on a table and opened to a random page. In it you see a column of names written in a neat hand. Next to them a date, and next to that a signature or mark. In the next column another date and either the same signature or mark, or a small notation. "Died on duty". "Died". "Lost". "Didn't report in". "Right, Roberts will note your name and today's date. You'll then sign it. Or put you mark. If you live long enough, you get to sign out here, like this. Otherwise Roberts will have to do it." The Sergeant turns to another page, pausing long enough for you to get a glimpse. Of the fourty names listed, there are only three lonely matching pairs of signitures. Well actually, two pairs of matching signitures and a pair of matching marks. Wordlessly, the Sergeant flips to the current page. There are about a dozen names on one side. Most of them have no second entry, including Cromwell's. Serving members still, you realise. Your name joins those in the book. After adding you signature or mark, the Sergeant gives you an appraising look then says something cryptic to his aide, who makes notes on a small piece of parchment. When its all done, the book is closed and taken back by the scribe, who puts in in a large satchel along with the other piece of parchment. The Sergeant turns to you and barks. "Corporal Cromwell! "You have the rest of the afternoon to teach these whelps how to hold a sword and avoid sticking themselves or their companions. Get some time in on ranged weapons as well. Let Roberts here know within the hour what equipment you want. Make sure that they know how to use it. "Get going." [SIZE=1]ooc: Standard guard equipment includes armour - mail shirt or studded leather and optional small wooded shield - short sword or mace, longbow or light xbow. However, the guard is fairly relaxed about who carries what. There is a fair mix of stuff in the armoury and amoung the members.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
