Nicholi Ravnthorn - Regular Guardsman Attending: Bersi - Arcanist Corporal Thomas Aylmer - Junior Arcanist Ilyana - Junior Guardsman Jessica Pheonix - Guardsman Recruit Today I lead a short training "back to basics." This training was to focus on physical fitness, and it's importance in teamwork, warriorship, and the battlefield. We also touched on paired fighting, cross-healing, traget calling, and target selection. We started we a basic warm up including laps, push ups and star jumps, nothing to horrible. After a warm up I explained why it was important for a warrior to be able to "take a hit" so we moved onto toe to toe boxing while I bashed them with a dull blade.

I pinpointed my basic opinion, and how I choose targets on the battle field. Starting with the farhtest ranged and fastest, moving down to the closest ranged and slowest. I also mentioned how I like to pick off the weaker targets first, which can weaken your enemies' defense and healing structure. Here is the list of targets to hit in order: 1. Arcanists 2. Archers 3. Poisoners 4. Polearmists/axers 5. Heavy shielders Although I didn't touch on any new information, I find it very important to drill these subject into our brains everyday. Everyone should know this and remeber these things on the battle field. *Signed* Nicholi Ravnthorn Regular Guardsman |
