Watchman's Trial: Hoagie - COMPLETED

[Gregor Eason]

Eason cackled as he sent off the Watchman's Trial for Mr. Olchafa Serpent, and prepared for yet another Trial to be written.
"Watchman Hoagie, eh eh? Seems to have completed most of his duties as a Watchman.. Bit shy with a quill though. Think we'll set him about with some Recruitment."

Greetings Watchman Hoagie!

After yet another day, Hoagie scanned the boards for his trials

Phwaor! Finally! Leaflet tour, eh? Lets see...

I read the page on the tome of locations, and set about the major banks, placing the spiffy Covian Banner.. thing around each of them.



Hoagie checks his list...

Oki doke... seems I've got to do the moongates now...

He trotted off in the direction of Britain Moongate, travelling from place to place putting the posters everywhere there was space.



But, it seems the more artistic guilds beat me to some of the locations!

Flowery sissies!!



Well, I've put leaflets all over creation! Hard work for Cove that is! Time fer a well earned drink methinks...

[Hoagie]

*Reads the second task on the list*

Har!

I rounded up the survivors of what must have been a thrilling sentry, sent a few pigeons, and after a painfully long time, actually had enough people to set off.

Attendees:
Delcarakdur, Junior Guardsman
Kal Shadowhand, Regular Scout
Erik Arkay, Grenadier Sergeant
Cor'Ari Ta, Junior Scout
Marie le Blanc, Watchman
Talpa Europaea, Gardsman Recruit
Damas Wulfmaw, Guardsman Recruit.

We set off to Britain with the aid of Delc's runebook, and with more joining us when we arrived.



I gave a (Not so) brief briefing, and set out a rotation of shifts  for recruiting, so one person wasnt on the job for too long at once. While they were gone, I set up camp in the outpost, and piled up a stack of leaflets for the men to use.



After many changes of shifts, people coming and going, and one or two potention recruits, I decided to leave the post and mingle with the crowds, to try and convince a few to join myself.



We returned home after a job well done.

[OOC: So sorry that went so badly, if it was as much of a shambles as it felt like, I need a slap ;p]

Hail Thar!

Have ye considered doin' yer civil duty!?

No!?

Well, ye should look into a life in th'Baronship o' Cove! The Grandest militia o' them all!

With us ye can make untold riches, see the sights, and show that sod who called ye a fatty what ye' really made of!

We be in the middle o' a long an' gruelling campaign ter show them Yewish ninnies who's boss, and make sure Cove is one o' the dominant militias in Northern Britannia! We can always use more men to help us overwhelm them once and fer all!

Wreak havoc on the battlefield as a guard in the Militia.

Enjoy a commoners life being a crafter or business owner exporting your goods across the lands.

Get in touch with your more shady side and dive into the Underground smuggling, thieving and assassinating.....

The possibilities are endless!

Say it wimme...

Fer Cove!!!

Ah, grand! Another day, another tedious recruiting outpost!

*Checks list*

My choice, eh? Despise it is...

I rounded up those willing outside the barracks, and gave them a briefing over what was to be done. After a few delays, we set off via a handy gate provided by Ben Radau to the dungeon Despise.

Attendees:
Garak Nightchill, Guardsman Recruit
Ben Radau, Guardsman Recruit
Kal Shadowhand, Regular Scout
Draven, Guardsman Recruit
Athalus, Senior Scout
Malin, Guardsman Recruit
Karn, Guardsman Recruit



After we arrived, I lead them a little way into the cave, and set up base at the junction, where wandering adventurers would have no choice but to go through.

I ordered Kal to take Daven on a quick patrol around the area to check for nasties, and in no time at all we were sat quietly with only the ettins to try and browbeat into the ranks.



It was just getting boring, when a cloaked Undead came into the area. Regular Kal Shadowhand soon got the upper hand, attacking, as a scout does, and driving him into a far off corner, where he was trapped and defeated. As that was all the excitement some of the recruits could handle in one day, we returned home, and went about our usual duties.
