The Grenadier Way - Grenadier's Quest For Virtue

[Raiden Morana]

Now it takes a Grenadier to truly "know" the "Grenadier way".

To other guardsman it may mean, undying loyalty to the Baron, brotherhood or simply a way with the ladies, which is ofcourse is all true but to a Grenadier it is also much more than that.

The ability to drink large amounts of ale and still bellow the Grenadiers Song are of course fine virtues but not the only ones the Old Guard follow.

Honour and Sacrifice are the noble virtues of the Grenadiers and earlier this day Demarian and I set about the Grenadiers quest for virtue.

Attended by:
Raiden, Senior Grenadier.
Demaian Tel'Var, Regular Grenadier.

We ventured to the lands of Ilshenar and a deep dark dungeon that oozed blood.

Before we entered the vault we were set upon by imps and undead warriors but we stood fast, healed well and overcame our numerous foes... 'Tis the Grenadier way. *nods sagely*

We entered the dungeon in order to find the guardians spawn... daemons. The plan was to each challenge these hideous beings to honourable single combat.

We had not ventured far when we were set upon by vile blood elementals and a golden daemon. Again the Grenadier spirit held true and we slew our foes before reaching the daemon's chamber.

One after one we challenged them and one after one they fell. We fought them honourably but I nay think their souls would be reprieved and it was not long before their miserable corpses were stacked knee high.

We heard the fowl cry of a sucubus near by so we steeled ourselves and shields locked we advanced into the fray... 'Tis the Grenadier way.

We fought hard and more than once it seemed our efforts might be in vain. But our heater shields battered and our weapons almost blunt we brought the monstrosity down.

With almost the last of my strength a hacked the creatures wings off to hang above the hearth in the Grenadiers Hall as a trophy of our fine efforts.

Our mission complete we headed back to Cove, the tavern and a well earned ale...'Tis the Grenadier way.

To continue our ongoing training in the virtues my apprentice dragged me off to the ice caverns to do honourable combat with the huge frozen ogres there.

We each took turns in calling them out and healed eachother as one after another we brought them down.

Not once did we slip and the frozen corspes piled higher and higher. Cold and weary and with the cavern clear we made our way back to Cove. Huzzah!

For the Grenadiers!

Trophy Collected - Wingbone of the Succubus - Demarian Tel'Var

No sooner had I smashed that damn deadite, that haunts the Baronship, into the dirt, then Dem' arrived at the barracks.

As no other guards were awake so early he decided to lead us off for a spot of training in that most noble of Grenadier virtues, Honour!

We headed to dungeon blood to seek out daemons so we could each in turn challenge the beasts to honourable combat. One after one they came and one after one they fell, golden ones took up the challenge and they too were sent to the abyss by Grenadier swagger and steel!

As we made our way deeper into the dungeon we heard the crooning of a she devil trying to lure adventurers to their doom! Hoh! She'd be no match for some Grenadier swagger!

Dem' made off to lure her into our little trap and she took the bait hook, line and sinker. She did take some beating down and her damn hounds snapped and snarled at us but we smashed them to the floor.

Dem' then took his trophy, the wingbone of the she devil and we made our way back to Cove...

Swaggering all the way! Hoho!
