The Four Lands - Southern Operatives

[J. Alexander]

The lord marshall is silent as Ewan briefs him. The he goes quite as he looks at the map and the party can see him mentally calculating distance..time and forces...after what seems to be hours he speaks..."Well done gentlmen well done.....i fear this is going to get very tense indeed...they have achieved suprise and already elimnated our trip wire...rest for the rest of the day and evening..tomorrow you will be required to set out once again.." do you have any questions..

OCC: Nope all that is in the doc i am working on..it has now reached 100 pages

"No Lord Marshall, I have nothing else to add. We shall execute your orders on the morrow. We thank you for the time you have given us to prepare."

When the group is ready to go, Nijel comes to rigid attention and gives a crisp salute to the Lord Marshall as they depart.

Alban

"Sir, our gear and our mounts are pretty battered. Might we make use of your smithies to do some repairs and re-shoe the mounts...maybe even give us some upgrades on some of the equipment."

 

[J. Alexander]

"Yes of course" he replies to Alban..then looking to the ensign he says "Please see to it"

As they are leaving, NIjel says to Alban, "The shoes I understand fully, but I am curious what additional equipment that we need. May I please know your thoughts on this? It would irritate me to no end if I forget some item that could have made our task easier!"

Roak offers the Lord Marsall a low bow before exiting the tent with his companions.

 

[Dracomeander]

Ewan visibly relaxes as the lord marshal pauses to digest the information. When dismissed, he salutes the lord marshal and follows the ensign to the quartermaster.

 

[J. Alexander]

Nodding to the party, the Marshall turns his concertration to the maps on hand and can be seen reviewing several pieces of paper as he looks at the map.

The ensign leads the party back to their tent where a simple but hot meal has been laid out on a trestle tabel..."When you gentlemen have had a chance to eat and clean up I will more than happy to show you arond the camp and to the quartermaster."

 

[Leif]

Nijel "Bulldog" Bladesong, AC20/FF20/T10 HP62/62 +11to hit,+5 dam; F+9,R+3,W+6

Nijel eats a hearty meal of beef stew, potatoes, and biscuits. "Ahhh, I remember back before this damned war started when I had the luxury of a hot meal not only every day, but several times each day. Now, if we get one hot meal each week we count ourselves fortunate."

After he has eaten and filled himself near to bursting, Nijel will wash thoroughly and shave, renewing the youthful sheen of his baby face, for which his brother Aidan has always mercilessly teased him.

 

[Rhun]

Roak enjoys the simple, hot meal. Having served in the field several times, he was used to the rigors of war, and was able to thoroughly enjoy the simple things in life. At Nijel's words, the knight smiles widely. "I know how you feel, my friend. When I lived at home on the Adari estate, seven course meals were commonplace. But in truth, I prefer a simple, more informal meal among friends."

After eating his fill, Roak too washes and shaves, and cleans his clothing and armor as best he can, partially restoring his normally dashing appearance. Refreshed though, the knight seems almost jovial. He mock frowns at several of the holes that have been cut in his clothing, and jokes with Nijel. "So Nigel, I hear they teach much in the way of sewing and mending in the semenary. Do you happen to have your needles and thread?"
