Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kobold Stew" data-source="post: 9548470" data-attributes="member: 23484">The Colonel had been posted to many plac es ove rthe years, not all of them even on this plane. He had been in service long enough that any cot with his trunk at the end was sufficient to call home. He had renewed his appointments, and grown as a soldier, not always with comfortable allies, but always knowing his place.And also knowing, that his place wasn't his.That had now changed. He had quarters in a castle (much more opulent than he was used to), and a sense that he might grow something that was truly his. Reform the old unit? No, not that. But he did believe that the orcs they had liberated needed a palce where they could serve and be useful, and if that was something he could provide, it would discharge a double obligation -- to them (he had not been charitable, after all)_, but also to the environs, for which he now felt a responsibility.He himself had also changed. His faith, true as ever, had been reconsidered. He no longer saw himself as a Servant of the Storm. he had learned, through prayer and careful study, but also on reflection of the events with the giants so far, that he was not their servant.That, too, had now changed. The lightning was his -- by whatever means, it was his to command, and though his faith was sure (it would always be there), what once he had requested, now he felt he could demand.His companions saw him seldom, though he had attended Donnell's ceremony, and served as his shieldbearer, reversing the role that the lad had once played for him. The Colonel had thought about retiring, too, but the recognition that the problem with the ginats persisted spurred him to action. Would he ever retire?[ooc]Bastion actions:Barracks: recruit.Arcane Study: craft Amulet of Health.Teleportation circle: recruit spellcasterTraining Ground: Skillls expert: Athletics. Empower Trianing.
