Sneaky training!

*Shayne, Recruit.

...After being suspiciously questioned by Regular Scout Dalamar, Sergeant Arkay saved me from further probing by asking me to come on a sneaking training. You know, the basics of how to sneak, and what to look for, and easy/difficult places to sneak.

First of all, Ma'am Arkay layed down three bandages, making an 'L' shape. She then demonstrated sneaking, but did it in the open for obvious reasons...or so i could see, for the not-so bright. I then copied her, it was simple enough, making sure i didn't tread on any sticks, or rocks, or anything that'd make a noise basically.

We made a list of things to look out for, the list was..
*Glass
*Twigs, branches and sticks.
*Leaves
*Puddles (Think 'Splash')
*Small woodland creatures (Think 'Squeek')
*Tree roots

We then looked at reasons to wear leather, and made a list...
*Dyeable - To dye it different colours to suit our surroundings.
*Almost free movement
*Lightweight
*Quiet
*Looks fiiiine.

We then did something, where she'd walk in any direction, and i'd have to follow, keeping close, but using as much cover as i could. This worked reasonably well, however any noise i made she could pin straight on me, however when someone doesn't know that you're there, are they going to be that paranoid, in a forest full of animals that can also snap twigs?

After that, we made a list of difficult places to sneak...
*Sand
*Water
*Snow
*Cities - Depending on the density of population. (Hiding behind people)
*Closed doors
*Open spaces

We then continued onwards to destard where we spend hours taking down various beasties. Unfortunately my sketches were burnt by a particularly mean beastie...
