Patrolling Log

[Delfer]

Commanding Officer: Kal Shadowhand, Officer Cadet
Guarsmen in Attendance:
Garand, Junior Scout
Buttons, Junior Grenadier
JT, Junior Guardsmen


Some undead goblin had attacked Kal on his way to the borders. Being Covians, we craved revenge and sought out to punish the Orc skeletons! We started at the graveyard and destroyed two liches at once, a grand Covian victory!

Then we went to the orc fort. It was too easy there, only two brutes! Pfftch! We just stabbed them and slashed at them until they fell down and started to decompose. Then we made our way to the docks. There was some kind of boat there. An orc boat! But I had no explosive devices to plant in it's hull so we let it stay.



Then we made our way back home to Cove and I basked in the glory of my new-found hat.


~14, 071 pieces of gold were obtained.
~Buttons gave his 1,000 to the coffers!

Area Covered - A Foot patrol Of Cove And A Brief Raid On The Orc Encampment -
* Kennit & Hayden Shephard

Upon waking up, kitting up and leaving the barracks, i headed towards the Green Goblin, and inside came across two Guardsmen who seemed keen on teaching me a lesson in humility, I informed them that one member of the Tel'Var Family name hardly needs a lesson from the likes of them, And was then further accosted by what i can only see was attempted Sarcasm, I have never wasted time using it myself as it serves only buffoons and fools, And those with no common sense at that, Obviously this is what was meant by the North being a land where nobody means what they mean, I will exercises caution when talking to these folks again.
After being politely if not promptly informed that i would be of "NO" use to a pretty little elf in leathers as it was "Grenadier" and "Scout business, I Proceeded to enjoy this moment, and was abashed for it, I politely pointed out that as i obviously wasn't going to be of use, I cant see why i should waste my time attempting to help, And should use the spare time to put myself to use, And not trying to curry favour by either boot licking or honey tongued flattery of my superiors.

Well, Seeing as very few Guardsmen seemed motivated to do much other than sit and grump in the Green Goblin, Another Recruit Hayden and I decided to carry out a foot patrol of Cove and the nearby town and Orc Encampment, The foot patrol went down fine and without incident, Nothing sinister or out of the ordinary. Following this I headed towards the Orc Fort to keep the Greenskins in check and put a few down. Hayden had business at the church to attend to while i did this, My total count was i believe 42 Orcs, Including Grunts/Choppers/mages, And one Orc Brute who did have a decisive and intense battle with, In the end, I emerged the victor, The gold i took from the slain counted just under eight thousand gold pieces, Which i had intended to put forward to the Church as a sign of "good faith" given the reputation for its strict if not "fair" dealing of people.

Alas, As soon as i reached the church, and upon removing my helmet and entering, There was a grizzled and offensive banner stood before me, scratching my head and pondering some, Hayden soon appeared and demanded that i remove the banner from the church and his sight, I believe him to be quite devout in his faith. Being a little clueless as to why someone would bother putting it in there i asked, And it turns out that there is currently a growing civil unrest against the church, Upsetting indeed.

Soon after other Guardsmen did approach and although i can hardly say they were surprised they were disappointed, Well, One woman seemed not to care at all and i would put it, "Casually dismissed" and walked off from the scene carrying what i would assume was a child, and smiling to herself if not to her baby, Highly suspect if one thinks that this is acceptable, Even one like i, Not accustomed to the North wouldn't dare think such a Blasphemy acceptable. I would agree with the recent gossip of forming a church guard, As obviously the current measures being taken are not enough.

After another patrol and checking of the local area for a lass i had seen earlier that evening clad in black roaming around, we returned to the Green Goblin and then to receive more orders from the Commander, and watch what i can only call a "Jest" with a rather pompus fellow in a strange hat following up the Commanders comments with his own Bawdy boasts.

A Brief if not simple report of a excursion to the Orc fort, Also this morning several bandits and what looked like a giant spider with them somehow got close enough to the barracks without being challenged, They were swiftly cut down and the threat was vanquished, it is a little shocking that such folk if not such beasts are able to get so close to main part of Cove ..

A swift patrol into the orc fort and back to check that the men wern't getting too lazy... Also to collect a nice amount of gold for the coffers! We killed not one.. Not two.. but THREE brutes and countless numbers of the little buggers.. The orcs will NEVER think of attacking Cove again!

The patrol in full swing..

In the end each guardsman donated four thousand crowns to the coffers with Jenifer donating the final five thousand as well.. all in all twenty thousand one hundred crowns went to the coffers..

Commander,

Upon the discovery of a foul shrine to the Guardian outside the Church, I led a patrol of Guardsmen to the cemetary and cleansed it of the undead that doth lurk there.  I have written to Father Hugo of this sacrilage and thy Guardsmen's aid in cleansing it.

My Lord Bishop,

I led a patrol of Guardsmen to the orc fort with the intention of killing these guardian spawn.  We succeeded in slaying many, including two Brutes.  We recovered 18656 gold coins from the corpses and the Guardsmen piously agreed to donate this sum to the Church.  Most praiseworthy.  We had one wytch  arcanist present.  I must report he survived, alas. 

With Faith,

A report on today's events including a patrol of the roads west towards Britain and yew,
Attending were

Kennit Tel'var - Guardsmen Recruit
Rita Whalebiter - Junior Watchman
Larinya Angalae - Guardsmen Recruit

We carried out a patrol of the roads north by west towards Yew, Upon which many a beast and foul creature where to be found among which numbered two ogres, three giant spiders, And a harpy

We came across a group of Gypsy's loitering around and after politely asking them to move on to another area off the road, a band of eight brigands attacked us, We generally assumed this was all part of some trap and swiftly cut them all down and took their obviously stolen gold, Among their camp we found a chained woman who it turns out was from Cove, As is out Duty we then escorted her home to safety and put out total collection of three thousand gold to the Barracks, I too placed the extra eight thousand gold pieces i had accumulated over the past week on the piles meaning a total of over eleven thousand pieces were stored, To be put to good use. We then spent some time recovering from the long walk in the Green Goblin where we were lucky enough to have a old, veteran guardsmen give us a very long and wise talk on the Yewish and about the importance of always keeping a knife close to hand when they are around, An insurance against their sneaky and treacherous ways it would seem.

It might be noticed that all these folks on the roads west seem to only come from the Yewish Road, It might be wise to send a strict if not friendly reminder to the yewish garrisons that they should carry out road patrols to ensure their riff Raff from the large Brigand encampments in the west do not make their way into Covian Lands, If the Yewish are incapable of dealing with the problem or lack the means to destroy them. May'haps the Covian Army might show them personally just how a land is kept safe for the good of all.

[Jenifer Feather]

Patrol into Despise!

I did venture into the Dungeon of Despise to bring back a big bunch of gold and practice shooting my bow.. since I am still not as skilled as I would like to be.. After killing a bunch of Ettins, Trolls, Ogres and a couple of Ogre Lords i decided enough was enough! And I brought back around 7500 crowns for the coffers!

Circumstances of last night

After eating a large dinner cooked fresh at the green goblin and walking and carrying out many foot patrols of Cove and the town main, Nothing was overly odd, And all seemed well ..  I was agasted to find a piece of paper on the floor withy some very troubling things written on it, Using my iniative i set out to find the officer on duty who i was told was mr Kal Shadowhand, Alas i couldnt find him and what took me the better part of twenty minits searching Cove, asking for his location i returned to the goblin on a whim having seen both him and Guardsmen recruit Heather rubbing noses earlyer that eve, My instincts were correct as one fellow subtly told me he was -NOT- here, The man must of been simple if he really thought i was going to believe him with a tone and attitude like that, Another fellow, I believe a local baylif was most helpful and told me he was "upstairs" To which i thanked him and moved upstairs to report this, To my suprise after knocking twice on each door there was no answer from any, So i sought the help of one Miss-Raiden who promptly almost knocked down the door with a scandalised look to her at the thought of a Guardsmen renting a room "By the hour"  Mr Kal Shadowhand emerged looking beraggled and somewhat short of breath, where as Guardsmen Recruit Heather came out with eyes full of tears,  I will not speculate what they might of been doing or "How" badly one might of been doing something. But i will make it clear that see'ing as no other guardsmen saw fit to assist me in carrying out my duties nor actually doing any REAL work perhapes the responsibility of command has yet to come to master Shadowhand if he would rather kooch around in the Green Goblins rooms with younger recruits than be avalible for reports or trouble, A man of such rank holds much influence and it should not be abused or put to waste.  Master Kal Shadowhand thanked me and told me a job well done to his merit and my gratitude and left the Goblin.
Soon after Guardsmen Recruit Katlyn joined me and we discovered a fellow in a wide brim straw hat dropping papers which included "Elf Liberation Front" And "Long Live The Duke" papers both with what seems propaganda like work on them, Having done nothing wrong except found them i asked the man to follow me for some questioning, Soon after he bolted into the woods, Being in a set of armour i was unable to catch him up, While the man hadnt done anything wrong, His behavoir is certainly suspicious and i shall be arresting him if not knocking him down if he attempts to flee again, I know his face and will draw a sketch of it soon ..  It should also be noted that a Yewish Guardsmen with a bright red beard and red hair decided to visit and join us in the barracks, Having been told to welcome the yewish and with no one senior enough to countermand the order, i let him stay and assist us in examining the papers,  I will be handing the papers into the next senior guardsmen ..
