Militia Duties: Plague Scare! - COMPLETED

[Gregor Eason]

Militia Duties: Plague Scare!

Some dogs and cats are beginning to die with from a  mysterious illness that has been found very difficult to cure. The carriers of this disease have been identified as rats, and what's more, rats coming from the Orc Fort area, such an unhygenic place that it is. However, oddly enough, the Orcs seem not affected by the disease.

Cleansing Cove
The Baronship requires that Cove, and the Baronship Household, is swept clean of any rats, with the rat corpses being burnt with fire.
Following this, the Militia are to venture to the Orc Fort, razing the entire fortress to the ground. Nay doubt the Orcs shall rebuild from the wreckage, but at least the plague shall be wiped out.
At least SIX guardsmen must take part in this operation, and are advised to take care when handling this Duty.
In addition, following completion, guardsmen are to strip down to their kilts and undergo "sterilisation". A piping hot bath, filled with water (obviously) and a few curing remedies (cure potions), is to be built inside Cove for the guardsmen to cleanse themselves in.

Objectives
* Remove the threat of disease in Cove by killing all the rats, and burning their corpses.
* Proceed to the Orc Fort, burning the entire fortress to the ground inside and out.
* Sterilise personnel in a hot bath constructed inside Cove.

Conditions
* At least SIX guardsmen (any rank) must attend.
* Ten rats must be killed and burnt, minimum.
* Rat corpses inside and around Cove must be burnt immediately with fire!
* All small rooms of the Orc fortress must be set alight.
* The hot bath MUST be built inside Cove, and the guardsmen MUST sit in it for at least TEN minutes.
* A good report must be submitted on THIS THREAD (at least four paintings).

Notes
* Once all rats inside Cove are exterminated and ye need to find more, ye may venture outside the walls.
* For the hot bath I recommend benches in a square formation, and dyed blue cloth stacked inside this square, with a few cotton balls being placed here and there - but I leave it up to ye creative ability!
* What the hell do I do for ten minutes whilst sitting in a tub?? Use your imagination; try nay get frisky though *smirks, and eyes Calico and Ryan*

Reward/Administration
For completing this Duty, all guardsmen will receive marks on Attended Patrols, Hunts, and Gate Sentry/Construction; with double going toward the leader of the operation.

Commander Eason,
Cove Militia & Baronship Council

Plague Scare!

[/size]

Monday the 23rd of mai, an important task was carried out by the covian militia: The extermination of all rats in cove and the destruction of the orc fortress to prevent further invasions of rats from that filthy fort! Thus the threat of plague was exterminated and the orc presence in cove severly weakened as their entire camp was wiped out.

Guardsmen in attendance:
- Gregor Eason, Commander
- Ryan Greystone, Junior grenadier
- Moon, Guardsman recruit
- Zell Dencht, Guardsman recruit
- Marie le Blanc, Guardswoman recruit
- Kal Shadowhand, Watchman
- Arc, Corporal
- Arch, Guardsman recruit
- Fredrick Grail, Guardsman recruit
- John Dell, Junior guardsman


Giving instructions to the militia...

Firstly, I ordered the assembled militiamen to split into groups of two militiamen each... Then these groups were send inside cove town to eliminate the rat threat. After having inspected the handiwork of the lads and lasses I then ordered them forward to the orc fort! It was to be burned down, to pre-emptivly strike agains the plague threat...


To the orc fort!

Outside the fort we prepared ourselves for the oncoming battle and we split into two groups, one led by corporal Arc and the other led by junior grenadier Ryan Greystone... We slew countless orcs and we let none in our path survive... The fort was dutifully cleansed and then set on fire with exploding potions, oil and torches.




Fire in the Hall!

We then fought our way back outside, mopping up the rest of the orc survivors, then proceeding to burn the two towers just outside the now smoldering fortress.

We then marched back to cove were a monk had prepared a desinfecting bath for us... Each guardsman had to spend 10 minutes at least in this bath to eliminate the disease threat to the men and women participating in this operation.


The bath prepared by the monk...

Mission successful sir!

Superb work, Watchman Delcarakdur. And a fine effort from all that attended.
Alas, Cove has been cleansed. Hopefully this should drive off any infection that threaten our livestock, and even ourselves...
