[IC] Brothers and apprentices

[Shadow Dragon]

He swings his sword at the training dummy, striking it several times, letting the sword do the work, and raises his shield to block a imagined blow.

Ro had gained lean muscle and is now quite skilled with weapons. She glances back at the cottage, to where her current culinary experiment is steaming.

Athelis nods. “Agreed. Your order?”

[Jasper19]

The ranger looks at them" today you get your ranger cloaks" leon smiled widely

Bandon looks at his brother band they were trained fighters now and even at mediocre they were better than most countries warriors " it's a simulated battle so I'm thinking we make a shield wall"

The BM watches then walks over" raise your shield higher "

[Shadow Dragon]

He raises his shield, and looks at the battlemaster. "Wouldn't that open my side too much?"

[Sharidi37495]

Ro smiles broadly.

Athelis nods and ties her hair back before getting in formation with the others and raising her shield. “What are we to expect? Do you know?”

[Jasper19]

Leon bounces up and down exited as the ranger gives them their cloaks

Bandon looks at athelis " we take turns having mock battles with the other brotherbands why do you think we're using sticks "

The BM shakes his head " not if you crouch down "

[Shadow Dragon]

He crouches down, raising his shield.

[Sharidi37495]

Ro chuckles at Leon. “Excited?”

Athelis frowns. “Sticks?” She sighs. “I suppose it’s a bit early for mutilation.”

[Jasper19]

Leon nods" yup " he says and puts on the cloak

Bandon nods" yeah we mutilate our enemies " Quinn smiles holding two sticks and no shield

The BM nods " good now if it is an axe stroke you want to angle it so it slides off , glad we have a treaty with the skandians"

[Shadow Dragon]

He laughs nervously. "Wasn't there a saying where the best option for fighting a Skandian was with food and drink?"

[Sharidi37495]

Ro tries on the cloak and looks down at herself with a smile.

Athelis grins faintly, and as she’s standing by Quinn she subconsciously positions herself so she’s protecting him as well.

[Jasper19]

Leon pulls the hood up and camouflages with the tree seemingly disappearing

Quinn spins the sticks muttering chants and phrases sometimes hitting his chest Bandon grabs his sword as the first brotherband comes " shield wall! " he calls

The BM smiles " yes their is though that didn't always work but I like your humor lad"

[Sharidi37495]

Ro frowns at where Leon was. “Where did you-?”

Athelis slides into position and holds her shield up.

[Shadow Dragon]

He readjusts the shield, angling it like he was told.

[Jasper19]

Leon seems to come back into view " i f I would have moved you could have seen me " he says smiling " those stealth lessons are paying off "

Quinn bounces on his feet bandon puts his shield up " march! " he calls and begins to March forward

The BM nods " good now prepare for your duel your having soon every cadet has to have one "

[Sharidi37495]

Ro laughs a little. “Definitely. Your way better than I am at that.”

Athelis marches forward.

[Shadow Dragon]

"Is it to surrender, or defeat?"

[Jasper19]

Leon smiles" you're better at archery then me though "

Quinn suddenly takes off running and jumps over bandon he then runs to the other brotherband and uses one of their shields as a stepping stone as he jumps behind them . Bandon grits his teeth " don't break formation! " he calls to the others

The BM thinks" to surrender but if they don't surrender them it's to defeat you will be using heavily blunted swords. "

[Shadow Dragon]

"Sounds fine to me. When is it?"

[Sharidi37495]

Ro shakes her head with a smile. “I am not but thank you anyway.”

Athelis sighs a little and keeps in formation, keeping tabs on Quinn and Bandon.
