After some preparations I was finally able to start with the sentry on Sunday, 22.01., and travelled to the barracks for some aid. There OC Vince Valentine started a combat training session, but politely offered his help to get my trials done, so all guardsmen stumbled through my gate to the Covian Mines.
Those guardemen were:
Vince Valentine, Officer Cadet,
Vincent Redfield, Watchman,
Valiro, Scout Sergeant,
Thomas Sendrich, Junior Guardsman,
Olchafa Serpernt, Junior Scout,
Kas Valentine, Junior Guardsman,
Kal ShadowHand, Officer Cadet,
Jenifer Feather, Junior Scout,
Jack Sinist, Guardsman Recruit,
Gantoris, Guardsman Recruit.
The sentry was done in 2 steps:
1. The building of the barrikades:
2. While 2 guardsmen stood at the sentry the rest did some physical training led by me inside the cave. First we used some ordinary logs - just simple knee bends with the log high above followed by a run to the gate. The second toy was made of solid oak and also simple as the first - knee bends followed by a short run. This time the winners were allowed to take the gate duty over and relax.
The last round was also simple: ordinary granite for teams of 2 guardsmen, black granite for the three-men-team. Those rocks had to be brought to the gate while shouting for Cove. It was interesting to see the different ways to move a rock... simple, but brainless manpower; some used magic to levitate the rock; other used the logs as levers to move it. With shouting and yelling finally all reached the gate, and the sentry was closed due to the close parade.
