Title: Succesful Sweep of Shame
Post by: Griffith on June 11, 2005, 07:36:10 pm
Hunt in Dungeon Shame!

Led By:
Ryan Greystone, Regular Grenadier

Attended By:
Antonius Proximo, Knight of Cove
Gimbly, Regular Grenadier
Vlad, Watchman
Talon, Guardsman Recruit
Ezekiel, Guardman Recruit
Griffith, Guardsman Recruit
Cor' Ari Ta, Guardsman Recruit
Anari, Guardsman Recruit

It was a tiring day for the Guardsmen of Cove.  For though it was yet early, they had been busy that morning patroling the land, keeping its citizens safe by ridding the forests of foul beasts and other hostile creatures.  Seemingly the patrols would never end...Once dismissed by Watchman, Vlad...Junior Guardsman, Valiro, gathered the guardsmen for yet more scouring of surrounding lands.  Eventually, our work was done...and so, exhausted, we returned to the barracks fiending for an ale and a comforatable chair.

Our brief delusions of relaxation were dashed, when Regular Grenadier, Ryan Greystone, called upon us for yet another assignment:  a routine sweep of the Cave, known by some as Shame.  Tired and a bit hungry, we guardsmen and grenadiers accepted the mission...soon our fatigue vanished and was soon replaced by visions of heaping mounds of gold coin and precious gems.  Excitement ensued as we ventured to Shame. 

Entering the ebony dungeon, illuminated only by a few meager torches, we encountered many Earth Elementals and a few hideously over-sized scorpions.  These creatures posed no threat to our Militia though...so we ventured on through a strange magic portal, leading us to few creatures worth mentioning.  Onward and onward we trecked, in search of treasure and glory in the name of Cove.

As we continued on, I realized our Militia had exceeded expectations and were astonishingly well disciplined and organized.  Minor injuries were sustained during the earlier portions of our campaign and though our foes became increasingly strong the farther we ventured, the ferocity in which we battled was plentiful...overpowering even the floating elder gazers...noxious poison elementals...and gruesome blood elementals.

The day was highlighted with plentiful bounty and excellent entertainment....for Ryan Greystone challenged us to a race out of the cave...the last one being Ryan...being the last to exit the cavern, Ryan then had to perform the mongbat dance for the rest of the participating Militia.  Har! Har! Har!

Altogether, nearly 10,000 gold pieces were donated to the treasurey of the Baron.

And just to let all who were not there to witness the splendour of Ryan's mongbat dance...It was a fantastical sight to behold! The grace and splendour of Ryan's movement followed by the gracious flapping of arms in mockery of the mongbat in his flying state.  The facial expressions of one who has gone mad with ale (being his mouth wide open and his eyes ablaze with the glory of seeing the Avatar himself!) His legs doing about a thousand little prances a minute in jest of the mongbat seeing a brilliant army of Cove approaching! For those of us who were lucky enough to be there, it was truely a pivital moment in each of our lives.
