Katryn Wakefield - Watchman's Trial*Kelly nods, looking highly proud and pleased… “Both my apprentices in one week for their trials?! This is more like it… Let’s see what she can do.”
Task One: Solid Sentries
Cove is growing bigger in size and population day by day. One reason for this is our loving care and tendering towards it. It is your duty to take the men and citizens to New Haven and build a sentry somewhere in the centre, providing food and drink for the attendees and public.
Conditions:*At least four other guardsmen must attend this task, and any additional citizens you can gather together.
*Whilst holding this sentry, I wish you to hold a short parade drill for the Army attendees to show the potential Recruits an example of our discipline.
*The sentry must be manned for at least twenty minutes after it has been built.
*A minimum of ten banners must be placed around the town during the duration of your sentry.
Task Two: Relaxing the Ranks
Our men had a tough battle the other day, including you, Wakefield. To show your respect and loyalty to them, I want you to prove yourself by hosting a relaxing evening in a destination of your choice for Covian Citizens. You may invite other friendly organisations or armies if you wish to.
Conditions:*You must provide food and drink, as well as at least one other form of entertainment for the men.
*Speak for your men – Carry out a motivational speech for future battles. I know your first battle was rather daunting for you.
*Make sure you pick a spot big enough for the event to take place.
Task Three: Hunting Harpies
With the increasing of Archers within the Baronship, we need to keep our stocks of feathers up for ammunition. Go to a place of your own choice (although I do suggest Spirituality’s Harpy Nest) and collect feathers for the stores from harpies.
Conditions:*Take at least one other guardsman with you on this task as company. It could get messy.
*A collection of at least 10,000 gold must be gathered in addition on your travels.
Final Condition:Full, detailed reports of all the above must be written and attached accordingly.
Good luck with these trials, Watchman. I hope to see you in your Covian Cap soon!*Signed*
