Raiden's 1st Hunt - Despise

Attended by:
Raiden Morana, Watchman (leading)
Drachir, Junior Scout
Seamus, Guardsman Recruit
Kiyoshi
Tweeso

After meetin' at the barracks we made our way to Despise on foot, the LONG way accordin' to meh fellows *grins*.

We made our way through the dungeon despatchin' Ettins, Elementals, Trolls, Ogres an' more than a few Ogre Lords.

The little man Tweeso tried his luck wi' some chests as we made our way through despise afore he 'ad to leave pledging 3,000gp to the coffers.

The rest of us brought back over 16,000gp from the hunt making 19,000gp in total. The only disappointment was that meh sketches got lost in combat but i managed to do a hurried one showin' the gold we 'ad earned goini into the coffers.


Thank ye lads fer attendin' an bein patient wi' meh leading meh first hunt.

*Raiden reports the second hunt of the first part of his Watchman's Trial*

Raidens 2nd Hunt - Covetous.

Attended by:
Raiden Morana, Watchman (leading)
Sergeant Arc
Erik Arkay, Junior Guardsman
Roland Dagorian, Guardsman Recruit
Eben Roichar, Watchman
Kiyoshi, Guardsman Recruit

For meh 2nd hunt I chose the Covetous dungeon. I thought we could get some feathers fer Coves fletchers while we was on the hunt be alas some adventurers had beaten us to the bird women fer all we found was there corpses.

We worked our way through the first level with relative ease and continued to the second where things got a little tougher plus Eben and Kiyoshi were required elsewhere.

The four of us that were left battled our way through and past what seemed like an army of undead skeletons until we reached a curious entrance.


We entered what looked like a crypt and were momentarily overcome by a swarm of liches. However we rallied and counterattacked. Driving the litches before us we made the entrance area safe. Sergeant Arc lost a case of reagents in combat fer which 'e said he was dockin' meh wages *grins*.


With Sergeant Arc's and Erik's experience plus Roland's backup ('e is a fine Recruit) we continued for a while before returning to the Barracks with nearly 21,000 gold pieces.


Meh thanks to all those who attended.

I came across my fellow militiamen as they were concluding a gate sentry around our fair town of Cove. They volunteered to join me on a hunt as part of meh Watchman's trials ... but where to go?

They wanted a little more adventure and danger than an average hunt. It could lead to our Doom! I thought and with a little encouragement from Officer Cadet Arkay we headed fer Umbra.

We found the deadites there to be tough and soon found oursleves being overrun.

As well as we healed and fought it was a losin' battle and though we slew many deadites

we had to make a tactical withdrawl and a speedy one at that!


Determined to get the required gold fer the Baron as part o' meh trials we then headed to despise.

We made our way quikly into the depths of the dungeon slaying many ellementals, ettins, trolls, ogres and their hardened lords.

Having amassed over 15000 gold pieces in loot which made well over my target of 50000 fer meh trial I decided to order my men back to the barracks fer a well deserved rest.

I had hoped fer a few more o' meh fellows to attend but I was able to lead a fair session with those that did.

I first made sure that the recruits knew standard formations and how to line up properly on parade.

I covered single and double lines as well as how to form and the trackers line. I also tested their co-ordination wi' some marchin'.


Next I impressed upon the recruits the importance of healing in combat situations.

Then put it into practice with a session of attack and defence.

I did a quick spot check on their kit to make sure they all had an acceptable light source an' enough bandies etc. before some quick drilling on the formations we had covered earlier to make sure that they had been listening to meh!

We finished off wi' last man standin' to put everything into practice before I dismissed the men.

.... if i left ye out apologies, twas a heavy night.

I was pleased so many o' meh fellows attended the final task of meh trials. We drank heartily and I had put on a few activities for the men to enjoy.

First we had a darts competition won by Officer Cadet Arkay with a score of 31, his prize being a fine bronze dart.

Then we had a little drinkin game, and after some more ale I held a raffle with Kas Valentine winning 2nd prize (a cheque for 5000gp) and Hoagie winning 1st prize (a rather large pig) Har!!!

We carried on drinking heartily telling tales of the previous nights action when again we put down our vile Vesperian neighbours!

After the excitement of the evenin' and the ale things are a bit hazy after that, but I had the strangest dream ...
