[OOC] [MEDIEVAL, REALISM] Marches of Man: The Black Shields!

[Errant Son]

Americans have politics? I thought it was just screaming contests.

@Errant Son

That, or dick measuring.

[Errant Son]

Considering the democrat candidate might very well turn out to be a woman, that is highly amusing to me.

[Errant Son]

Also, I was thinking since we have a large amount of atheist/quasi-monarchists and even pagans in our midst, we should have a Robed Swords ''inquisition'' type event. They'd visit the camp and investigate rumours of witchcraft and other vile demonspawn creeping in the camp.

Especially interesting given we already have 3 ex-servants namely Terryn, Haesteinn and now our new monk-friend.

[TheFake]

Would someone like to do a post together? That way we can converse if we have nothing else to think of.

@Azaria Blue

I've had success with this in the bast, the only trouble is getting everyone around at the same time.

[Twisted Fate]

As much as I hate to admit it, I'm struggling for a post at the minute.

Apart from that though, the Robed Swords Inquisition sounds like it could be potentially very interesting, especially with my character being a total atheist.

[Errant Son]

I'd suggest just starting a conversation with someone, and writing about the return to the camp. It doesn't have to be long. I'll post shortly after to get things going again.

[Errant Son]

Perhaps I was too enthusiastic about slightly deeper character progression. Let's get some action going then.

[Twisted Fate]

Ok I can deal with action

I'll start working on a post right now and I should have it up in a couple of hours.

[Errant Son]

I think the ''I can deal with action'' attitude is more common here than I thought. It's fine.

@Thortimer I will work with you in PM if you wish to fill in the conversation between Terryn and the monk?

[Twisted Fate]

It's not that I can't deal with character development per say, more that I'm trying to overhaul Jahan into a more diplomatic, and less flashy run-in-circles-until-the-enemy-gets-tired type character

After this battle though perhaps one of the more experienced fighters of the group could give him some battlefield combat tips? I feel like he'd be good in a one-on-one situation but as you said, his style wouldn't work too well in an actual battle.

As he's about to find out

[Zhaliora]

I'm just going to go headhunting. :3
Once I get around to it. xD

[Errant Son]

@Twisted Fate Guess we'll see how he does. :P

[Thortimer]

@Errant SonYeah, that'll work. PM me.

[Twisted Fate]

Ok, that post may seem a bit extreme this early on but just stick with me on this, the character will be a lot more interesting for it

Of course, if it's too much I can edit and make it a little less dramatic.

[Errant Son]

@Twisted Fate that certainly spices things up.

[Thortimer]

Finally, roiled in combat.

[Errant Son]

@Thortimer perhaps you laid it on a bit thick (I find it hard to imagine you'd be granted control over some men the day you arrive) but otherwise it was a good post. I certainly enjoyed it.

As a sidenote for future reference - if you are a peasant with a horse, typically you'd still not fight on horseback. That was reserved for the cavalry specifically, whom usually consisted either of veterans or of noblemen. I imagined those men would be part of the 40 or so men that went around the sides to flank under control of the other commanders (aka not Haesteinn).

[Brother Tumbo]

I'm gonna have to drop out of this one. I overestimated the amount of time school and work would take. If this is still going come summer I'd love to join again, but for now, farewell.

[Errant Son]

@Brother Tumbo Fair enough, school can be a pain in the ass. I'll find a fitting end to Key's service. Best of luck to you.
