Title: Re: [Grenadier Trials]~Marcus Kobra Post by: Marcus Kobra on January 09, 2010, 01:32:53 am DISCIPLINE
WHEN: January 09, 2010, 01:12:58 WHAT: Training WHO: Marcus Kobra, Regular (Leading) Elizabeth Martin, Officer Cadet Gabriel Drachen, Junior Scout (Insubordinate wretch) Caleb, Junior Scout Bersi, Junior Guardsman (Wears Arcanist Uniform) Victor, Recruit I started them off with a full inspection. All of their uniforms seemed in good condition, save Bersi whose Covian Cap was a discrace. It would seem Arcanists now refuse to carry bandages in their packs. Apparently a 100 minimum of emergency supplies is too much to ask, A common guidance should be written and made available to all for review. Its obvious the scouts don't know what colour their skin is today, and people don't know what gear anyone is supposed to be carrying. After their inspections and a few laps for those with discrepancies. I gave a short lecture on why its so important to have good weapons and armour. Poorly maintained weapons break against armour, and poorly maintained armour lets weapons through. Either way its rather lethal. I also let them know the consequences of not obeying orders in combat. I vowed to personally execute anyone blatantly disregarding orders in combat. Blatant disregard for orders in war time is no less than desertion and treason. I then had a small battle game between the remaining members. It seems I need better armour. . . . flame spells really take the breath away. *Signed* Marcus Kobra, Regular, Army of Cove (http://xs.to/thumb-D2BD_4B47BCFD.jpg) (http://xs.to/share-D2BD_4B47BCFD.html) (OOC: Sorry, just click the htumbnail. imageshack was broke so I useds www.xs.to meh) Title: Hunt to gather The Golden Arms of a Exodus Minion Post by: Marcus Kobra on July 15, 2018, 10:02:00 pm Who:
Commander, Hoagie Grayner Captain, Raiden Morana Officer Cadet, Elizabeth "Pickles" Martin Senior Arcanist, Ilyana Drachen Senior Guardsmen, Tiberius Kane Regular Grenadier, Gimbly Regular Guardsman, Marcus Kobra Junior Scout, Eben Roichar Junior Guardsmen, Tsukiyomi Mori Watchman, Saerandir Guardsman Recruit, Garshinkle Guardsman Recruit, Tingleith Guardsman Recruit, John McCaladan Guardsman Recruit, Edel Rahuleid Yewish Allies: Lady Larynda D'Gar Acting Besieger Corporal, Robert Tripps Rookie Guardsmen, Aries Harper Parade was right massive tonight, We saw the dismissal of Grenadier Corporal Keres as leader of the Grenadiers and subsequent demotion to Senior, seems his sister. . niece. . auntie. . . relation Cailin was raised up to Cadet and put in his place. Senior Arcanist Ilyana Drachen and Corporal Kelly Sanderson each recieved Baronial Seals for their work reinforcing armour. The parade over I took charge of the line and briefed everyone, well tried but half of them needed to get things and "prepare." A Covian is always prepared! I gathered them at the local moongate and finished the brief. We were to head to the Exodus Fortress and find us a Golden Exodus Mionion, I would take his arms as a trophy for the Baron, and collect no less than 20,000 Coins for the Grenadier Coffers! Had 20 men and women under my command, perhaps not the vast numbers of ages past, but this was a grand force like I'd not seen assembled since the Border War Campaign, or maybe the Vesper Civil war. I divided us into 2 tactical teams, I myself lead the first consisting of the bulk of our Arcanists, whilst Captain Morana took command of the second team. Again, a sight to see and I admit, I was a touch nervous to be responsible for so many. I found it a might bit overwhelming! A quick march from Compassion led us through the cave mouth to the former Blackthorn Castle, now a blasted ruin, vaguely inhabited by a contingent of Juka scavengers and a tiny cadre of Mages and their metal minions. We mad fast work of them and pressed on skirting the nearby swamp, a few bog lords, and plague beasts accosted us but met short ends to our steel and fire! The fields of fire just before the entrance to the Exodus Fortress, a blazing hot place full of living flames. . . not even they slowed us such was the might of our arms, the rumble of our marching feet shook the very foundations of the fortress and the very mountains! We felled daemon and beast alike as we made for the entrance, nothing could stand before us, we descended into the depths to seek out the Golden bastard so I might take his Arms in honor of The Baron. Metal beasts and automaton fell, crumpled husks or melted heaps of slag and fizzling wires. We even managed to destroy and mangle much strange equipment and devices! Finally after much battling the Metal Monstrosity we sought showed itself! A quick charge and a barrage of sword, axe, mace, and spell saw it handily defeated with only a few minor scrapes and bumps on our part. Emboldened by our rather early success we sought out something even bigger, the Golden Exodus Minion Lord Thingammy! Sadly we nay found it but did fell another Golden Minion and hundreds more of their ilk! The men finally tiring of glory and battle, and fed up with the Golden Lord Thingammy's cowardice, we departed and made for Luna, a brief show of force was in order to awe the masses of unwashed hordes beyond the gates! Returning home I congratulated our forces and counted out the coins: 34,000 Gold Coins raised for The Grenadier Coffers! The Baron shall glut on the finest wines this week I assure you! Hopefully whilst admiring the new Trophy!

Title: Re: [Grenadier Trials]~Marcus Kobra Post by: Marcus Kobra on July 21, 2018, 09:33:21 pm What: Recruitment Stall Haven
Who: Officer Cadet, Leanne Melior Regular Guardsman, Marcus Kobra Watchman, Saerandir "Sally" Watchman, Fitz Sigur Guardsman Recruit, "Gar" Garshinkle Guardsman Recruit, Tingleith "untrusted hair" After gathering the men at the barracks we marched off to the moon gate then New Haven to conduct a meet and mingle with local inhabitants in hopes of The new lads name was Osric "Fisty" Fistlewhistle, claimed to be equally skilled with a blades as he was with bows, suppose time till tell. Went over some details and a few questions then tossed him a Recruit badge. Miss Melior took him back to Cove to get him outfitted. The lads and I held on a bit longer, one of them even set up quite the light show to attract more folk to us, alas nobody but a flapy wigged flapper of a gargoyle showed even a shred of interest. I got the men to do one more lap looking for candidates and as I feared they reported all was quiet and empty. We packed it in and I opened a portal to home. Not terrible for a days work, may want to issue these lads the proper colours. . . . seems even my own batch where off. *Some Sketches* (https://imgoat.com/uploads/69059b7ef8/125479.png) (https://imgoat.com/v/125479) *Signed* Marcus Kobra, Regular Guardsman, Army of Cove Title: Re: [Grenadier Trials]~Marcus Kobra Post by: Marcus Kobra on August 01, 2018, 10:03:14 pm What: The Barons Court and Nautical Adventures in Wine tasting
Who: The Baron Octiovus von Richter Himself, Baron of Cove and Nujel'm Officer Cadet, Leanne Melior Officer Cadet, Cailin Keres Shadwell, Baron's Adjutant Lady Axiana Masteen, Patrician Corporal, Kelly Sanderson Regular Guardsman, Marcus "Rattlesnakes" Kobra Watchman, Sheriam Palmer Watchman, Garshinkle Regular Grenadier, Arel Mortan Bailif Crowley Graves Corsair Pirate, Boring-o of Yew Lornaduk, Foerigner Tinglieth, Untrusted Watchman "Mischief", Commoner The Baron's Court, bustling as usual was held in the Town Hall. Massive buffet with no less than three whole roast pigs was served with copious amounts of drink, the finest of the wines being imported by my own had as a fair gift for His Lordship Baron Octiovus von Richter. Though how I found myself invited was indeed most odd, I'd attempted to write His Lordship to ascertain when we might set out with his Grenadiers for a night of merry making and drinking when it was -I- invited to go with Him rather than the other way about. Thus there I was in my finest feeling out of place as ever amongst Coves officers and civilian elite. Thank Avatar the wine came by the bottle. Much hustle and bustle, a new Bailif was appointed. He seems less rodent like than the preceding ones. Got right to work harassing Shadwell, Masteen and the one known as "Mischief" regarding licensing and other pencil pushing hogwash. The meal proceeded with much chatter, the Watchmen receiving a deal of scruitny from the Grenadiers. So much so their foods were sampled by said Grenadiers from their plates before being returned to them, Baronial security at its finest (aslo the only way an on duty Grenadier can get a bite in inch wise and still perform their duties) Then someone mentioned Nujehl'm, the Baron's interest did not truly pique until I mentioned the beaches. With rain darkening the Covian coastline and a Yewish Corsair Pirate Officer sitting directly across from him our Baron realized he could no long stand on formality and await our own Captain to produce a navy. The Baron snapped to action summoning his court to accompany him to Nujehl'm. Much rushing about was had as I called the guardsmen remaining to secure weapons and ammo for our journey. We arive along the bayshore to Borgio's own flagship comming along side a smaller vessel, the smaller vessel was soon capsized whilst Shadwell and the Watchmen attempted to board. After a brief bout of musical ships Shadwell wrangled the remaining persons whos sea legs would not allow them aboard such a magnificent ship to board his own "peasant barge" and we soon set sail for Sea Market, rumored to have all manner of vessels available within their dockyards. The voyage was a bit long and we very nearly ran out of wine! Thankfully I was carrying an emergency supply and managed to top off our Baron before disaster might strike. We soo narrived dockside at the famous Sea Market. At the Baron's behest I set out to find any available wines whilst He and Boring-o pored over maps and charts detailing new plans and strategies for Nuj'. Once we had aquired our own vessel we set out to liberate fair Nujel'm from the Sultanate thus freeing her people from a life of servitude and fear of their canibalistic overlords! Our arrival was hailed by the Baron's Declaration of Colonization. The citezens cheered declaring it their Freedom Day, no doubt to be celebrated for all time! Much surveying of his new realm was done with the Palace thoroughly The various facilities proved most useful with debtors prisons and courts already effeciently built, even one or two locals were Another grand Covian victory at the hands of our most ingenious Baron!! HUZZAH!

Title: Re: [Grenadier Trials]~Marcus Kobra Post by: Raiden Morana on August 03, 2018, 03:05:35 pm In his fine, upstanding generosity, our great Baron has seen fit to award the following shillings for those who attended the Baron's Court and expedition to Nuj'elm.
Axiana Masteen - 5 shillings Crowley Graves - 5 shillings 'Mischief' - 5 shillings Amon Jarl, Noble. |
