Seemed to me everyone was just sort'o sitting around or drinking (or both) so I called a training. Weh started out with a bit o' my dreaded physical training, in which I shout random orders to individual attendees to keep 'em on their toes and make sure 'ey can follow orders.

All o'a sudden, I orders'em to arm their parade arms and launch into a free-for-all! Th'men performed admirably, massin' their attacks t'knock each othar one by one 'till finally th'Commander gained the upper hand and won.

Next we did a bit o' subterfuge trainin'. I had Kas attempt to impersonate 'ah Trinsican - e' failed miserably. The Commander did an impression of Sarge, an' did it perfectly. 'ah connae tell he wasnt Sarge for a momen'. Sarge then did an excellen' impression of 'em Skarans. We ended this section o'the training with a fist fight.

Training Part Two: The Keres Strikes Back

So after we'd done that bit, we staggered off to Town and did two rounds o' Combat Hide And Seek. Team Extremely Awesome won the First round as Seekers, and lost the second round (after losing Sarge to Team Significantly Less Awesome). Marcus 'ad t'go before we started, 'ough.

- Round One -

Team Significantly Less Awesome (Hiders)
- Raiden
- Kas
- Round Two -

- Hoagie
- Raiden
- Takeamada
Team Only Slightly Less Awesome (Hiders)

I now feel thoroughly trained, or perhaps thoroughly beaten, it's hard to tell the difference most of the time. Regardless I just thought I'd mention the dream I had when I was beaten to the floor during the hand to hand fighting session. Three spirits with a tremendous sense of rhythm and timing appeared in the air, dancing my mind back to a conscious state.

I drew a picture !

Thank you funk elementals, I am in your debt.

S'funny.

I shared a similar vision as I was knocked cold at the same trainin' session.

Spooky!
