Some say that the mortar that binds the Grenadiers together is their 'swagger'! Grenadier swagger has become legendary throughout Sosaria, but let's face it Corporal you can't swagger so much when your hair looks like roofing thatch and you have a beard like a rhododendrum bush. Seek out a bath house and a barbers for a short back and sides eh? Or take a leaf out of Gimbly's book I say! Let's have you looking swish to receive those bronze arms.

Conditions.

- This is an entirely roleplay task.
- Pin a full report including drawings beneath this notice.

Ability To Fight.

A Grenadier is a killing machine. Whether armed up to the teeth or with nothing more than a spoon, a Grenadier is a killer. Lead a trophy hunt in the Baron's name and bring back your prize to adorn the baron's office.

A trophy for the Baron's wall... I'll get him a good one! Golden Serpantine Dragon Talons; they'll look nice.. Serve as a nice weapon also were his office infiltrated! ...Not that the Grenadiers would allow that of course.

Regardless, we gathered the men up at the barracks and marched to the moongate where we waited for Watchman Go-Hei to find his way back from Minoc, having sent the Scout to go and find the lost little pup. We couldn't wait much longer and went through to Honesty, and battled our way through the maze of floating eyes to the ruined Jukan city of Mistas, where we were assaulted by archers and wytches from the rooftops right through until we finally reached the foothills of the lengthy mountain climb to our destination.


I warned the men to breath frugally, as the air got thinner, and it became harder to move the higher we climbed the winding trial. Eventually the gaping cavern was in sight, and on charging through, I ordered to men to slay the magical pixies and centaurs that were in our way, though they looked bewildered at this order; I think the lack of air must have gone to my head!

On spotting our prey, we slew a horde of dragons until two golden buggers swooped down. With the Captain's superb human shield tactic, we managed to slay them both, and reclaimed a talon from each for the Baron's wall!

A total of 30,000+ crowns were collected and divided up amongst the men and companies present. Well done men!

Nay bad Corporal, nay bad...

Good work to those who took part in this mission. The healing could have been tighter in places, but well done nevertheless.

The healing is something we can work on... As is finding yer way from the barracks to the Minoc portal! *mutters*

Well, it's probably about time this rag got a cut; only reason I let it grow so long is because I never get chance to sleep, let alone fetch a haircut thanks to pouring over these Recruit files...

I took my hounds, Anglo & Saxon with me through the Northern swamps of Britain, before arriving and asking a local healer for directions to the local barbers. Managing to evade the Britannian Guards, I weaved my way through the streets to the building I had been directed to; tied the dogs to the lamp post outside and ventured in, waiting my turn for a seat.

As I was called over, I explained to the man I was part of a mercenary company, to avoid raising suspicion, and needed to get my haircut to stop it flapping in my face during battle. I asked for something military.

What I got, was a little too short, but in time I imagine it'll grow to something reasonable...
