[QUOTE="Deuce Traveler, post: 6007925, member: 34958"] Diego Jose Delgado decides to take an inspection of the troops before dinner, first dropping in on the infantry and making small talk with the men about where they come from and how they found themselves in the military. As he speaks with them he appraises the quality of their swords and armor. [color=teal]"While I am passing through, do you men have any concerns when it comes to being given the equipment and manpower you need to fulfill your duty? Are you well received in town? Perhaps I might join you for a patrol one morning."[/color] He then inspects the archers and their towers, pointing to some of the geography around the towers and asking questions about various buildings and natural sites where opposing units might be able to approach under cover. [color=teal]"This is quite a beautiful country. Would you mind allowing me to share a scheduled watch with you sometime? I would like to take it all in at night."[/color] He also takes time to meet with the cavalry and their three knights. [color=teal]"It's is wonderful to see fellow horsemen here. Do you switch out horses or does each man stay with one mount? Are there spare horses when one goes lame or is in need of rest? Perhaps I might join you for a ride on an afternoon. I would very much like to take in the scenery up close."[/color] After making arrangements, Diego then meets with the servant or servants assigned to him. [color=teal]"I am a simple man of fine tastes. I would like several different outfits made available for me. I require a set of clothing worn by the keep footmen, another for the archers, and a final set worn by the cavalry so that I may better fit in when I decide to join each particular unit in their toils. I also require a formal outfit for meeting the various lords, such as at tonight's dinner. It does not have to be expensive, but it should be appropriate. I leave this to your discretion as you have a better understanding of local customs than my foreign self. Finally, I would like a small bottle of wine made available with my meals at night. Again, nothing expensive, but definitely something local. Perhaps from one of the smaller vineyards. Do not replace the bottle until it is empty as I do not plan to down a whole bottle nightly, as I am not a drunk. Finally, I can put on my own armor and ready my own weapons, though if there is an emergency that requires my immediate attention it would be to everyone's benefit if someone could come and assist me so I can be made ready for combat all the quicker. I will let you know if your service displeases me in any way, and I would ask that you give me the same respect if something of my manners disturb you."[/color] [/QUOTE]
