I haven't been apart of BoC for six months yet but hope to be in it for a long time, The short time that I have been in BoC has been the most pleasent experience I have ever had sence I started UO. I realy enjoy the rold play that we do and really enjoy the hunts we go on But the Wars we fight are the up-most Bomb. My character has come a long was sence being here and i owe it all to everyone here* Thanx Everyone * Yall are the best. I really thank you Ryan, For if not for you I would not have heard of BoC and just went else where to RP, But it would not compair to this now at all. THANK YOU Ryan.

Cove Swamps (Today)
A tip off that something was happening
Lead by Junior Gardsman - Ryan Greystone

              I met up with Ryan an' 'e told me tha' 'e got a tip tha' thar was somethin' 'appenin' in the Cove Swamp. So with tha' Ryan, Kas Valentine and meh kal ShadowHand set out ta investegate what it was. We got ta the edge of the swamp and the smell was much stronger then ever. We entered the Swamp triin' ta stay on dry ground as much as possible bein' that they were such narrow paths ta walk on, we headed ta the south and the smell got even stronger, We had ta fight a few thin's but we got to were we thought was strange fer being in the swamp, we found two boxes and looked inside to find one filled with Rum and the other filled with some sort of strange weed. Ryan then told us recruits Kas and I to carry them boxes,* That lazy Git* * Smiles* We gathered the boxes and headed out. We came up to the Guards out post and desided to loom thin's over before returnin' back to the barracks. Everythin' looked ok. We got back ta the Barracks and place the boxes by the store room fer the Commander to look at when 'em wakes up.

                 Well Meh get out of meh bed 'open ta enjoy a much needed day off to rest, I walk over ta opne the shudders when tha' pesky pigeon came fliin' in with one o' them parchment tied ta 'ems leg, So I take the parchment and it reads( Brit invassion everyone tha' is able ta the Barracks now)
                 Well I turn ta gather meh thin's *Thinking ta mehself*(One day tha' pigeon will meet meh blade). I gather meh thin's and head out fer the Barracks. When I get thar, Everyone was onr the rooof getting ready fer a bit o' trainin', so meh loin in and have to do laps around the arena. After the trainin' was done Junior Ryan took a few o' us to ta Brit fer a pre-battle warm up. When we got thar we were met with heavy resistance and was soon forced ta ta head back ta wait till the main forcec were ta meet.
                We arrived back at the Barrack and then Dissmissed till further notice.After seein' what we would be facing I then went ta the church ta meh fathers AVATARafter prayin' ta meh fathers Avatar meh then went out ta the wood and found the biggest Oak tree, then knelt down and started praying ta meh Mothers Avatar ( Sylvanus the Oak Father).
               I prayed till another pigeon came up and dissturbed meh, I grabbed the parchment that 'em 'ad tied ta 'ems leg ( It is time ye lots less go ), So meh ran back to line up fer rolecall, When i get thar I was surprized ta see how many tha' 'ad showed up. There was( Grief Dryfh Gry-Senior Gardsman, Ryan Greystone-Junior Gardsman, Shadwell- Sergeant, Tiberius- Regular Gardsman, Gimbly- Grenader, Calico Kate- Gardsman recruit, Kas Valentine- Gardsman recruit, Valiro Grydhonclaw- Watchman, Aileron- Gardsman recruit, and meh Kal ShadowHand- Gardsman recruit.
              After everyone that was going arrived Junior Ryan had Kas open one o' them Blue wytchy thin's so we could go to Britain, The wytchy thin' opened and I then stepped in and came out near the outter area of the town o' Britain. When everyone was all thar we setout to go see what we could do ta aide Britain in its time o' need. We arrive at the Bank o' Britain when we saw how many forces we were ta help out. We then lined up ta be given out last minute orders from Junior Ryan( Who like ta give orders than recieve them) *Smiles*.
                We then headed ta where al them fouls beast were ta smash then in the heads and to run the back ta were them came from, Everyone was doing goo' till we got ta the middle,It was so thick that ye could nay move around without trippin' on them beast tha' 'ad been feld of slippin' on the Blood in the streets. A few o' us got knocked a goo' one but we still got back up and rejoined the Battle. One by one , Two by two, and so on the beast fell at our feet till we drove them ta the Britain GraveYard.
                  Thin's were getting thicker and thicker the further we push them back the thicker it was gettin' I got seperated meh group so meh 'ad ta ressort ta the ways of meh elven brother tought meh to fight hit and run if ye be smaller than the other and ta always put yer back ta a tree if ye be alone, and alone meh was till meh 'eard Ryan yellen' meh name so I follow the sounds of 'em voice till meh was back in the circle( Till Ryan desided ta move again that is). We fought and fought meh thought tha' we would never drive them back, thought meh arms were goin' ta give out on meh so meh remembered COVE and YEW and all tha' stands ta loose if we were to fail, and fer some reason meh strength would jess blast through the next beast tha' triied ta stop meh from pushing forward.
                Slowly we were pushin' them back ta where them came from, But with still alot o' risistance from them beasts, We payed them nay mind and jess kept slashin' and hackin' , pokin' and jabin' till it was startin' to get clearer and clearer and we could see what we were doin' and where we were, then finally them beasts spirits 'ad broken and them ran back ta the cave them came from. After watchin' them run like the rats them be we then Lined up ta see who all made it through this night. Everyone was accounted fer and Kas called forth them Blue wytchy thing's and back ta the Barracks we 'eaded. we were then congradulated on a job well done and Dismissed.

   I Kal ShadowHand wa at this training

             Morning came around when I was awaken by a pigeon that had a parchment tied to it's leg, I grabbed tha' thing and ripped off the parchment and unfolded it and it read *There is going to be an attack at the Barracks*. I grabbed meh armour and weapons then set out fer the Barracks. When I got to the barracks everyone was outside lined up waiting on the others tha' might be comming, I lined up and Tiberius was fillen everyong in on some last minute details. After we got our groups in order we were told to gather wood to fix up a perimeter zone when the Kaldorians came in, so we took our stand by the barracks.
                Their so called leader came up telling us that they were here to get our surrender, Of course we did answer their demands with our archers by giving them a volley of arrows to tell me No. They then attacked in full force as we held them off the best we could *But luck be not with us* We all got knocked one by one till we all were over come with pains, Cuts and Brewses and they finally left us all to lick our wounds.
