[Vince Valentine]

Vince nods with an impressed smile as he reads through the guardsmens files...

"Well, well! Looks like our hardiest grenadier is almost eligible for his senior trial! I always knew that lad would go places, now if only i could pronounce his name..."

Greetings Regular Te'l'Var. Your hard work has not gone unnocticed, and you are mere steps away from the rank that many envy, yet few achieve....Senior Guardsman. So, without further ado, you're trial.....

Senior Trial: Demarian Tel'var

Part One
You are to contact Iryvn, Duke of  of Trinsic and organise trade talks with him and his most senior officers. The alliance that we share with Trinsic is shaky at best due to our 'colourful' history with them, so good negotiation skills and a little Grenadier charm will be essential! Here is a full list of what's to be requested by yourself:

Two kegs of explosives (Greater Conflag)

Four bolts of the finest Trinsican silks, for the Barons own personal use

Two Crates of the finest Trinsican wine

A steed of the finest breeding, in the hopes that one day it shall replace the Barons beloved Chelmsford.

In return for these goods, Trinsic shall place a trade request themselves, choosing from our vast range of Covian wares. Once you have swapped orders, you shall be required to order, from our fine citizens, everything on Trinsics list.

Once the crafters have finished their work, you shall arrange a time/date for the trade to take place, leading a caravan to Trinsic to deliver the goods.
Once this is done, you shall safely escort our order home. This is a task that shall require alot of planning, but as a grenadier, it is well within your abilities.

Conditions

The actual trade talks should be held in a public place, such as a town hall or some such building.

You must have one command member with you at these talks, as well as four other guardsmen

Anything that Trinsic order must be made by citizens of Cove, via an order delivered by yourself. Your own alts may not be used.

These are peaceful talks, so hostility must be avoided at all costs!

The steed that you recieve may not be ridden under any circumstance.

Two reports shall be written by yourself, one of the actual talks, and one of the caravan going to/from Trinsic, and posted in This thread


Part Two COMPLETE

Leadership is a key skill in any senior guardsman. To demonstrate this, you're to lead a campaign on the most unholy of this lands creatures. In three seperate missions, you shall take down an array of foul beasts. These missions shall be...

1) Lead your squad of at least Four other guardsmen to the depths of Deceit Dungeon. Once there, eradicate any and all liches that you find, as well as any other threat that lurks.

2) Lead your squad of at least Five other guardsmen to the Dungeon of blood, located in Sprituallity, Ilshnear. Work your way through the many tunnels until you reach the lair of the Succubi. Queen of the undead, you'll have your work cut out just keeping your guardsmen alive with this one.

3) Lead you squad of at least Four other guardsmen through the kitsune fields of tokuno, where'll you'll find the fearsome 'Oni'. Said to be a spirit of pure chaos, he'll not be easy to vanquish.

Conditions

You must have the number of guardsmen stated on each mission.

A report with sketchs must be written for each mission successfully completed, stating the tactics you used.

The three missions must be lead seperatly

 Part Three  COMPLETE


As a senior guardsman, Organisational skills will be vital!
As such, I'd like you to arrange patrols for Five consecutive days.
These should focus on the five main patrolling points of Cove and it's surrounding areas, with one patrol being lead per day. You may lead one of these yourself, but the remaining four shall have to be delegated to fellow guardsmen.

Conditions

All patrols must be logged In this thread, by either you or the guardsman who leads the patrol.

All five patrols must be lead on consecutive days, one per day for five days straight.

These patrols can be to anywhere within Covian patrolling range.

You may only lead One patrol yourself, four of them must be lead by guardsmen that you've delegated to.


That's the lot Demarian, you'll find in your pigeon box a few details that may come in handy.
Do not hesitate to contact me should you come across any problems, or need advice during this trial. Now go forth regular, make Cove proud!

Tuesday Patrol

Area Covered:- The surrounding area of Trinsic.

Patrol Leader:- Officer Cadet Hoagie

Attended:-
Mikaela, Watchman
Perun, Junior Scout
Garak Nightchill, Junior Scout
Random Amazon Woman

As the majority of Covians were, in fact, based in Trinsic, I gathered a group of willing guardsmen to aid me in a patrol of the surrounding area. There had been several brigand and undead attacks throughout the day, so it was important to make sure everyone was safe. Especially so with so many people gathered in one place. We had a good turn out, and a member of the Amazon people offered to lend her sword on the patrol. We gathered at the Trinsic west gate, and were delayed to our start by a disagreement between the Amazonian and a pair of shifty types who had allegedly planned to rob her while she slept. After defusing the situation, we slowly head off to the west. We went on for a while, hacking our ways through the thick branches, when WHAM! Two of our number plummeted into a dark ant hole. Glancing around to see where they went, I looked at the ground and saw the opening of the cave. After a short time, they managed to escape by climbing up some roots, we continues around, making our way to the south gate.



The journy around was uneventful, the only threat showing itself to be a large snake. Quickly dispatched by the five of us, Watchman Mikaela was pigeoned with an emergency, and had to leave. We continued around to the south gate, where I dismissed the men.



As I headed back to the Covian Headquarters, mumbling to myself about Trinsic being safe for another day, a sharp whistle came from the West Gate. Dashing over, I saw the shifty looking characters from before had drawn weapons, and were looking for a fight! Quickly drawing my sword, Me, Mela and a Kaldorian guardsman quickly dispatched one of the Brigands, the other fleeing into the trees.

Perhaps a sentry would have been more use!

[Raiden Morana]

Thursday Patrol (Trinsic due to moot)

Raiden, Grenadier Corporal (leading)
Mela, Scout Corporal
Hoagie, Dragoon Officer Cadet
James Moris, Watchman
Mirael, Commoner

We set off out to patrol the town of Trinsic. A lot of peace loving Covians are here for the moot and a fair lass called Mirael accepted my offer of protection as we wandered the streets.

Everything seemed quiet, apart from the Watchman's insubordination. That said he's a stealther and i'm sure Mela will straighten him out!

Then out of thin air it seemed, every Covians favourite Waywatcher twice attacked Mirael an unarmed, defenceless commoner. However his third cowardly attack saw him knock her to the floor.

Hoagie and i chased him halfway back to Yew. We returned to where Mela was tending to the injured civilian. She had a few cuts, bumps and bruises but nothing serious.

Everyone safe again I dsimissed the patrol.

Hrm what is Kreiger and Falconheart playing at'...

[Raiden Morana]

I can vouch for Krieger's patrol Dem' as I attended along with Hoagie, Mela and one or two others.

We vanquished the grim reaper with a little help from some adventurers.

I think Krieger is on leave at the moment but a pigeon may speed the report?

[Falconheart]

Well I did stage that Friday patrol with the recruit Curulhach. I asked for the recruit to do the report and painting. Didnt realize that it was me to do the report and painting.
Well I sent pidgeons for the paintings to be sent to me so I can finish that report. Didnt get them yet.

[userjosh5368]

Right if you can't get the pictures just add some detail so i can imagine what happened.
Keep it up watchman

Friday Patrol (minoc gate to altmere outpost)

Falconheart, Watchman (leading)
Culharach, Gaurdsman Recruit

Well as I promised you a patrol on that friday I sent a guild message for a patrol to meet at the barracks.
Unfortunately we where only two members to complete that task. But to my enjoyment the member showing up was Recruit Culharach a fellow archer!
So our first goal was to clear the way from the covian area to the minoc gate so our citizens especially unarmed commoners can pass safely.
The only real threat in that area consisted of 3 ogres and 2 harpies that are no longer a threat.
I let the recuit vanquish this threat alone I just stood back and was waiting to jump in, in case he needed some help.
That was not neccesary as the recruit already showed a remarkable expertise with his bow.
I didnt even have to tell him to cut out the feathers from the harpy. Well done recruit Culharach!
While carefully advancing  to the minoc gate we checked the ground for any susbicious tracks.
We didnt find any
After we reached the minoc gate the recruit had to leave and I continued the patrol to the altmere outpost.
The recruit did his job so well that he didnt leave me anything to do! Well I did find a large amount of what I consider an illegal substance.
I cleared the area of 73 leaves of nightshade. Other then this the patrol was relatively quiet.
