Title: Guarding the City Post by: Erik Arkay/Evinyatar on August 15, 2005, 10:36:47 am *Erik walks down the Barracks stairs when dusk is already setting in and finds recruits Seamus and Ramsus Kaine milling about outside*
Right! Ye two 'ave just volunteered! *displays a coy grin* Bu.....B-b-but! Yes! You AND your butts! The Undead have been attackin' our fair city far too often lately. We'll put an end to this and protect our citizens! I want you two to erect a sentrypost at the gates and guard it! Hup, hup! Don't wait for nightfall or they'll be just as likely to jump you in the darkness! (http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/8138/undeadinthecity0be.jpg) *Erik leaves a note to muster the other recruits and makes his way to the gate himself* Ah! Good lads! Build it high and strong! I want it sturdy enough to withstand a hurricane! *More and more guardsmen arrive and help out with the construction* Good! Not even a flee could get past this sentry undetected! (http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/3367/outpostbuilt3oy.jpg) * The evening went along nice and calm and a large amount of recruits, guardsmen and even sergeant Hrothgar dropped by to hold the gate when all of a sudden a horseman rode up to the gates* Oi! Hold! Who goes there? *Erik holds the torch aloft* Good folk! A Yewsman on business in Cove! Well! Leave ye horse outside and leave yer weapons at the gate! *The yewsman mumbles something but does hand over his weapon* You may pass then. Welcome to Cove! (http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/1329/enterthecity5it.jpg) *The hours pass slowly and there's some idle chit-chat at the post. Newly promoted Junio Joey Lanai even tried to amuse us with some jokes* *Dawn is breaking and Erik notices some of the guardsmen are beginning to nod off* *Joey Lanai returns from a quick patrol of the City* Anythin' to report inside the City sir? What could be to report? Everyone is bloodi sleepin' at this time! (http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/5223/quietinthecity9rf.jpg) Right chaps! It looks like we managed to get it through the night. Our mere presence must have scared off any evildoers from even attempting any shinanigans! Let's break up the post and hit the sack ourselves! *A general sigh of relief was heared and after a quick demolition the guardsmen retreated to the Barracks* OOC In attendance: Erik Arkay - Watchman Seamus - Recruit Ramsus Kaine - Recruit Dexius Brutus - Recruit Claudius Brutus - Recruit Melody Songbird - Recruit Joey Lanai - Junior Guardman Kal Shadowhand - Regular Scout Hrothgar - Drill Sergeant The guardpost was held for over an hour I think, didn't really time it Title: Re: Guarding the City Post by: Ahmed on August 15, 2005, 11:12:38 am Fantastic work on securing the Covian walls. The deadies will indeed have a hard time in trying to cease our innocent citizens!
