Welcome to Cove

Garak..Garak.. which ones that? The elf you say? Oh yes the elf. Good lad, does as he's told, well disciplined. Now let's see... Scout trials he needs?

Greetings Garak. Congratulations on reaching the rank of Junior and earning your Covian cap but now its time to try earn the green. Listed below are a set of tasks you must complete before you can be allowed into the Light Company, take your time completing them there is no rush. For each task a separate report must be done and pinned below this message.

Task One
The first task as for all other Scouts is to obtain the Magical flute. It's a symbol for the Light Company and has been used as a communication device since the beginning of the Company. Seek out a witch in the southern woods of Yew. The south road from crossroads. She'll guide you through how to obtain this flute.

Task Two
Only the best uniforms for the scouts! However we're running low on barbed leather, so as your second task you are to seek out any dragon's layer and gather 500 leather (can be in Destard or anywhere you desire). This leather is to be handed either to Jenifer Feather or Mela Arkay once collected.

Task Three
You are to attend a Scout Training session, that will be held by either Sergeant Jenifer or Mela Arkay. Soon that will prepare you for your future in the Scouts.

Good luck!

I've been promoted to Regular after only just being promoted to Junior?  Excellent! My true worth has finally been recognised!

*Frowns* Or it's a mistake.

Oh well, to the Trials then.

The Flute:

With the old woman living so near that den of Loyalist Oppression, namely Stonekeep, a clever disguise was needed in case my scouting tactics failed.  So I removed my cap, kilt and sash when near Yew or Stonekeep.  Clever eh?

I found the old woman, found the corpse of her apprentice and reported back to the old crone.  She then wanted me to track down the imp who killed the apprentice, so I decided to interrogate some imps, and ran to the Hedge Maze.  After killing a few one confessed and gave me a map and a flute.

I then tracked down the imp but the little wretch nicked me flute and vanished.  So I returned to the old crone who ssaid to kill more imps.  I then returned to the maze, killed an imp and got it's flute.  Mission accomplished.

The Leather:

The second of my tasks awaited, the daunting task of killing and skinning dragons.  For this task I'd need some great warriors.  Unfortunately I couldn't find any so I had to make do with whoever was around.  The Father himself joined us to make sure it was conducted in an Avatarian way.  We felt especially cursed lucky to have him with us.  Praise!

Led by: Garak Nightchill, Junior Guardsman

Attended:

Hugo, Templar Preceptor
Tyrael Styx, Guardsman Recruit
Gord Blackwell, Junior Guardsman
Kal ShadowHand, Regular Scout
Dinah, Guardsman Recruit
Ira Sanquistat, Guardsman Recruit
Claire, Common Hunter

We went to Destard and after killing lots of dragons and drakes, we eventually gathered the needed leather and hastily returned to Cove.

Scout Training:

When: Sunday 8th October
Where: Scout Field

Led by: Olchafa Serpernt, Regular Scout

Attended by:

Kelly, Junior Scout
Garak Nightchill, Junior Guardsman

Regular Serpernt led me training in the Scout field and we covered the basic philosphy of battling as a scout such as Attack, Run, Heal and Hide, then Attack.

He explained that we fight without metal armour and without people to heal us so teamwork is important, as is coordinated fighting.  We need to take a foe down in the first wave.

Ideally we'd have people poison, use the mortal strike manouver and a heavy concussing blow.  Bleeding can be useful if nay poisoner.

He covered the ways in which I as an arcanist can help, by poisoning a lot, healing from afar and doing the odd damage spell.
