We'd just smashed some runt o' an orc, so weh decided ter celebrate with a training.
It wound up bein' long as th'void. It lasted suh long, 'ah had ter pass command to Hoagie, Kas, and then Kathrine t'keep thin's going. We randomly started physical training, then suddenly changed to combat training, and back, then to something completeleh differen' just to keep the men on their toes.
The most importan' thing weh did, though, was develop the "Keres Manoeuvre", a foolproof way of dealin' with runners. What 'cher do is get yeself a mage, and have them paralyze yer foe. Then the mage starts whipping up 'ah combination of that exploding spell and tha' one that makes 'ah pillar of foire. Then, as he's attacking the paralyzed foe, the rest of you attack with all your strength.
Gets 'em evereh time if 'ets done roit!
