[QUOTE="howandwhy99, post: 2040200, member: 3192"] [b][Session 5][/b] The rest of the day would see each of the members working on their own projects or with the troops.

Dram saw some improvement from the work so far, but each still had quite a bit to learn. Dalin put the pikeman crew he was training through a series of difficult exercises.
