Welcome to Cove

Guardsman Duties - The Not So Jolly Sailor

It has long been rumoured that the ghosts of Cove's lost fleet roam the town's docks at night. Our fair citizen's will nay go near the place after dark.

With at least 2 other guardsman patrol Cove town after dark and report anything out of the ordinary. Do the shades of lost sailors haunt the docks, is it a cover for smugglers or just an old fishwife's tale?

Conditions.

This duty must be completed by either a Guardsman Recruit or Watchman.
Patrol Cove town.
At least 3 guardsmen (including the leader) must attend to this duty.
The following locations must be checked and sketched in your report - Docks, Bank, Lighthouse & City Walls.
This patrol MUST be done at night. (dark nights enabled - torches / lanterns - no nightsight)
Pin a notice on the events board to encourage your fellow guardsmen to attend.
Post a full report below.

Notes: Guardsman Duties are storyline driven missions that are interlinked with important Promotional Requirements, making the general grind of completing ten Hunts, or ten Patrols etc. a lot more interesting by livening up these tasks with a bit of intrigue and story.

Ahh! I've been waiting for this!

As ordered Sir, I gathered a patrol together for a night-time patrol of the town. First of all we checked the gates and city wall before moving onto the docks to check for any smuggling activity... But what we encountered there few words can describe...


We encountered what appeared to be a 'Ghost Sailor' who claimed that all Covian vessels were doomed and kept moaning the word...Grreeeyyyyyssssstooooone...?

After we were spooked *coughs* had secured the docks we headed to the bank to make sure all was well there before heading through the fields to the lighthouse.


Some of the party were visibly shaken by what they had seen this night... But at least the town was safe from harm.

Duty complete we headed back to barracks for bed... Though I doubt many slept that night.
