Aye it was a grand training night, sir. *smiles*
Really enjoyed it - hopefully we can arrange more events like this in the near future!

Even though several of the Vesperians lack civil manners - they know how to fight.
Grand work fellow guardsmen and Vesperians.

Alright.

I understand what you mean.

That is why we are having the brainstorming - so everyone can say what the feel.

I do not think Mage RP is lame - imo all RP is good RP.

Well, the Navy and Scouts accepts Mages.
To be a Scout mage, you need Hiding/stealth as well and your character should be sneaky RPish.
In the Navy, your character would be a seaman/sailor and your character should RP-loving the sea.
I do not feel like any of these Divisions suits my character. I can only speak for myself, but I know others that feels the same.

There are no rules that says we prefer meleers before wytches. I agree with you though, the main force of the guild should be melee for the RP look.

Also for my own interests, not sure about others, but I feel that belonging to a Division gives you more opportunites to roleplay. Not just giving your character more traits - but also with all the Division events/quests.
Seems like some of the Command members share my thoughts about a new spellcasting division is needed, since they've started to plan the Arcane Regiment.
The Warmages would be a little different though, since more or less everyone in it would have melee weapons as well.

These are my thoughts. Hope all of you share yours as well Smiley

Patrol trip around the Baron's lands.

Lead :
Guardsman recruit Maldraedior

Attended :
Guardsman recruit Andrew.
Guardsman recruit Celuvian Haap.
Guardsman recruit Griggory Dumah.

Early today we had some sneaky drow elves running around in the Baron's lands, which resulted in a two versus two battle, me and fellow recruit Haap against two drow elf thieves. Regardless, later that night we had a patrol trip around the Baron's lands just to make sure everything was alright and that there were no other foul creatures around making trouble.
We found nothing of interest - the lands were quite as the grave itself.

Grand to hear.

We need a spellcasting Division now in BoC imo.
There are a lot of recruits that are spellcasters now - and having a spellcasting division up, would also be more attractive for new players that wish to join BoC to see that spellcasters got a division-future =P

Thank you for your comments Smiley

I have spoken with some of the Command members - Raiden told me to post it on the OOC board or speak with a Command member about this. Since Garak is leading the Naval division and Jack Sinist was offline yesterday - I thought about getting it up for brainstorming on the OOC board first.

I know I need to be Junior Guardsman to join a Division etc.. but I would like to get the Warmage Division up for discussion before that time.
I have no problems if I am not to lead the Division either. Just want to be a part of it Smiley could always OOC share my ideas and help the Leader.

Of course, the plans for the Division was to have trials and tasks for members wanting to join it.. just like all the other divisions.
I currently got some quest ideas, but will not share them at this.  Involves pure RP questlines and skill-check questlines. Still needs some more planning and checking before it goes live.

The pure character skill-wise requirement to join would be Magery/Necromancy + 1 fighting skill. (Sword, Fenc, Mace, Archery, Parrying or Wrestling) Tamers, bards, stealth mages etc. would not suit the division imo.

Hehe, creating the uniform is just the snack part of making a Division. I have no ideas at the moment how it would look, since the storyline and RP idea behind the division is more important atm.. but I will sure give pointy hats a try!

Quoted from Moraine Digoraz :  "All in all, go for it mate, write up your ideas and send it to command. From what I've read so far you seem to have what it takes to make the division work. All it takes is some time and alot of dedication."
-- Thank you for your kind words.

Being within a Division opens a lot of RP opportunities and usually means a more busy in-game event schedule for your character.

Me, Celuvian, Andrew, Synara and another recruit, cant remember his name, currently got Magery of the recruits. (( that I know about ))
I know some of the veterans got it as well - and they are not in a Division.

Also this is not just a Division for us - the idea is to make BoC seem more attractive as a guild to others, especially mage players Smiley

Great work, fellow Recruit!

Aye, it was a grand hunt. Enjoyed it very much.

Greetings fellow guardsmen.

After reading about our current Divisions and checking their forums - I do not really feel that any of the current Divisions suits my character RP-wise.
My character is no sailor or seaman - so the navy part does not really apply to him, nor is he of the sneaky kind with stealth and magery.

On our homepage, it seems like we had a Division called the Arcane Company. My first plans for my characters was to try to get into that Division, but it does not excist anymore.
I have spoken with some of the old timers in BoC, but I haven't gotten any answer why the Arcane Company went down ... their answer was just that it didn't work out Smiley

I've seen that lots of our current Recruits are spellcasters.. I am not sure if you feel the same way like I do, so I had to bring this up for discussion.

I would love to create a new Spellcasting Division - Warmage type of Division. Spellcasters combining Magery with Fighting skills. Of course Necromancy supplied with weapon skills would be accepted as well.
Tamers and Bards would not be accepted though.
I feel that a Warmage Division would suit BoC much better than the Arcane Company. Considering we are a Military guild.. Properly trained Magic users would be much more effective on the battlefield compared to a secret spellcasting sect imo Smiley

I've gotten the inspiration from the Warmage class in D&D 3rd Edition. It suits a spellcasting/fighting skill template in UO. Spellcasters wielding Armour while casting spells and being a decent meleer when their offensive powers wears out.
Warmages will focus heavily on teamwork, since supporting with spells is a lot harder than just applying those bandages once every 6-7 second or so. Being a proud and confident Division - discipline training, combat training and drilling should be arranged often.. since the visual apperance of the Division will be important.

Still require some work on the Story line for the guild - and quest line for its members..
but feel free to let everyone know about your thoughts and suggestions for a Division like this.

Well done fellow recruit.
Nice first report!
43  In Character Boards / In Character Board / Hunting trip to dungeon Shame - Written by Guardsman recruit Maldraedior. on: April 13, 2007, 12:14:38 am
Title : Hunting trip to dungeon Shame.

When: 13th of April, approx 21:00 - 23:00
Where: From the Barracks to the upper level in Shame.

Commanding Officer: Raiden Morana.

Guardsmen in attendance:

- Guardsman recruit Maldraedior.
- Guardsman recruit Andrew.
- Guardsman recruit Celuvian Haap.
- Guardsman recruit Duvort Stein.
- Guardsman recruit Douglas Kione.
- Junior Grenadier Eve.
- Junior Dragoon Felina Trix.
- Regular Scout Dalamar. ( Late joiner. )

What:
Right after Sir Conan had finished his sentry and investigation event in Cove town - Sir Raiden took over the lineup. A hunting trip was planned - but our destination was not. We, the attending guardsmen, was allowed to choose where our trip would go. Guardsman recruit Celuvian Haap had a strong desire to head into dungeon Shame, with none of the other guardsmen disagreeing - this was going to be our hunting location. Sir Raiden Morana needed a volunteer - and of course I had to raise my hand. *mutters* I was given the honor of writing the report.


As the Covian Army has recruited several spellcasters lately - we did not need to run through Yew to get to dungeon Shame, we had the luxury of using magical portals as transport. We ran through the first level with ease, not meeting any elementals or scorpions that could be of any threat to our great Covian force. Moving through the first level in Shame, we came across a strange magical statue. The room it was located in was filled with gravestones and runes. Guardsman recruit Maldraedior and Celuvian Haap, both being Battle mages, were able to understand the meaning of the magical runes.. After comprehending the language written on the runes, they found out that speaking the word "Wisdom" close to the statue - would teleport them into the Mage lord tower in the upper level of the dungeon. Of course, not wanting to put any of the other guardsmen lives in danger, I spoke the word "Wisdom" first, to check if the comprehending was right. I was instantly teleported to the mage tower, facing one of the mage lords right away in an arcane duel. Right after my final blow that fell the mage lord - Celuvian Haap appeared, few seconds later followed by our entire Squad.

After securing the mage tower, we started to move through the upper level of Shame. Sir Raiden Morana was in the front to taunt the elementals and other foul creatures to attack him, so we could concentrate our cross healing on him most of the time.



The thoughts behind the hunting trip was not only to gather some gold coins to the Covian founds, but also to get some real battle training. Some of the elementals in the upper level were way to strong for a single guardsman to defeat, thus Forming fast and cross healing each other was needed to survive. Tonight that went really well I must admit. Sir Raiden was clear in his orders and the other guardsmen had full focus. Even the strongest blood elementals did not even come close to knocking one of us - and they went down rapidly!



After clearing the whole upper level - we cleared our way back to the secured Mage tower. Having a double lineup on the roof, with all guardsmen still standing, we had to let our name be remembered amongst the foul creatures in Shame, even into the deepest roots of the Dungeon! I have no doubt that Cove is still clanging through each and every corridor and room in the whole cavern system!







We travelled with magical gates as transport when we returned to the Barracks.  Here everyone gave each other a pat on the back for a well done job, and the gold coins was counted and split between the attending guardsmen - 18634 gold crowns in total, a grand sum I must say!




We had some problems a few nights ago in Deceit when we went with a large Force, about the same size as we had tonight. The cross healing did not go so well, probably because everyone was slacking since everyone thought there were many other guardsmen around to take care of the job - so it did not get done. Tonight we did really well on the other hand. Also it was grand to see so many guardsmen awake at the same time, lets keep it up! For the Baron and Cove!

Patrol trip to the dungeon Shame - lead by Guardsman Recruit Maldraedior.

When: 8th of April, 20ish
Where: From our Barracks to dungeon Shame.

Commanding Officer: Guardsman Recruit Maldraedior.
Guardsmen in attendance:
- Hoagie, Dragoon Sergeant
- John Dell, Junior Guardsman
- Andrew, Guardsman Recruit
- Synara Kahn, Guardsman Recruit
- Douglas Kione, Guardsman Recruit
-

Tonight we had a grand patrolling trip to the dungeon Shame.
After Snudrud's recruit cadre I thought it would be a good opportunity to take a patrolling trip to test if I and the other recruits especially learnt something from the cadre - Focusing on the battle tactics and orders.

Considering our amount of Guardsman Recruits, even though supported by two seasoned guardsmen, I'd reckon the earth elementals and giant scorpions in the lowest level would suit us perfectly.
The higher levels are crowded by spellcasting creatures, so we'd better check how our teamplay works out before we visit them.. There is no doubt that we will do that soon!



I must say I was really impressed today by my fellow guardsmen.
They all showed great teamwork and discipline. Even though I am of equal or lower rank - they had no problems with it and executed the Orders without asking questions. Really made my job as a leader easy.
Speaking a bit out of my place - but it seems like this seasons recruits has a lot of potentital.
On all the trips I have attended so far - I have never been given any reason not to trust my comrades in battle. Keep up the good work, fellow guardsmen!

The grand performance in dungeon Shame paid with 1000 gold coins to each attending guardsman, in addition 4400 gold coins donated to Cove - A fine sum, indeed!

Was a grand Recruit cadre, sir.
I really enjoyed it - and I learnt a lot that I did not know about our Army.
