@Zahrale "Strange"
Just for the record, Andel wasn't the worldly man his great-great-great grandfather Alister was. I noticed you mentioned his "street knowledge" in the first post -- and that's fine, given that he was the sort of kid that liked to roam the streets and explore and all -- but just as a reminder, Andel likely wouldn't be able to pull off what Alister did. His grandpappy was the full "dashing rogue" package, with charm and skill and wit. Andel just has good reaction time and is well-read.
I'll wait for the question about my character being settled until I post. Will make fixing things easier in case there is an issue about him.
I'm perfectly okay with the start post :) Actually I think that wrestling a half-giant as a hardly trained rookie (Harstac was a savage, I don't think one can consider this physically 'trained' in the sense of knighthood) without getting smashed to the wall in an instant is a major achievement.
My main reason for doing that is because your chars would have been forced to do this test in the first place, and it also shows you guys what i think of what your chars capabilities would be as Rookies
