3. A sign on the Barracks: New Militia Recruits

A sign on the Barracks: New Militia Recruits


  • Kerrith chuckles from her usual post on the Archers Tower for the night watch.
    "If you need help Rando just send a couple of the pups to join me on the Night watch. I'll be sure to keep them awake and alert."

    With that she grins ferally showing the canine teeth she sharpens herself.


  • When the drill is over, Lucidious makes his way over to Rando asking for his thoughts on the new recruits. He follows Rando about for a time, asking a few more questions and nodding in agreement to his responses. He then bows respectfully and makes his way back to town hall with a small smile, apparently pleased with Rando's progress.

    Aren heads back from his post deciding it maybe best to sleep with his gear


  • The helm hides Mords expression as he moves out of the barracks, nudging the recruit in front of him.
    Murmurs quietly as he walks back to his bunk and rearanges his kit for easy access Some things never change from town to town…..


  • Rando marks the time it took to respond, who had the right equipment and who was aware. He tells the trainees to stand down and stow all kit

  • N

    Aren quickly reacts at the sounds of the alarm grabbing his combat gear and throwing on his leather tunic as he sprints out the door and to the gate, once he arrives he sets up a solid fire position and begins finding targets for his arrows

  • S

    Kalith is seen staying near the back and center of the ragtag troop. When asked why he isn't in the forefront:

    I am a cleric, my job is to support and heal. A dead or crippled militiaman can't defend the citizens.


  • Still hanging about at the south gate fire, great guffaws of laughter is heard out of Raver, nearly falling off the bench where she was sitting…. the sight of the ragtag gang rushing out to defend the gates, one of them missing their pants

    Oy there boy! Ye forgot something!

    goes back to laughing herself into fits


  • Rando and one of his training team move in the the trainees barrack room at some ungodly hour and shout

    "ALARM ALARM, STAND TO, TOWN IS UNDER ATTACK REPORT TO THE SOUTH GATE"

    Rando is making notes who is the slowest or is missing kit as all hell breaks loose as the trainees scramble for their kit and clothes


  • Mords legs feel like they are not part of him as he makes another staggering circuit of the town. His eyes remain pinned on the recruit in front of him and each breath is a searing ache in his side.

    When Rando finally orders them in he staggers towards his room

    He cleans his kit then bolts some food and lays down with a groan. He runs the recruits through his minds eye and wonders who earned them the extra work. He would find out. He was patient. His eyes closed on this thought and his lips thinned into a flat smile.

    It seemed only moments that his eyes were closed before he was dragged out for his rounds. His body was stiff and the air was chill as he moved towards the south gate. mutters Hells and damnation, does it never get warm here…..


  • The Guard turns around with a smile and says

    "Shout at you… Rando.... not our Rando....."

    Just before the guard turns away to carry on his duties he says

    "he more likely to rip off you head if you mess up

    he points to a group of very dirty people all carrying staffs running in a squad around Norwick

    " One of them messed up and they all got punished, be warned failure is not tolerated in the Militia"

  • N

    Aren Ashaller shows up at the barracks in tantered leather armor and a warped long bow, he however is beaming with confidence, he goes to the closest guard and asks him a question

    "Is this Rando character going to yell at me?"


  • Rando has been watching the new trainees carry out their duties, making notes next to certain names


  • Mord presses his lips together as he turns away with the staff and sighs quietly He remembers his discussion with the small commoner at the south gate and heads towards his assigned duties

    Murmurs softly as we walks through the chill night Ah well, tis not like ye have not done this afore….

    ::Kalith makes an agreement with a local laundry woman to get his gear recleaned daily(perhaps several times) of the mud :roll: ::


  • *Rando has given the trainees an inspection, picking up on a few things with each trainee and making sure they understand and are not going to be making the same mistake. A few of them are seem to be doing press ups in a rather large puddle

    Rando issues each new member a large staff to be carried on them as all times as a mark of their trainee ship, any caught not carrying it whilst in norwick will be punished.

    Rando assigns them some duties, the rota is 4 hours on guard duty north gate, 4 hours off, 4 hours south gate 4 hours off. this is to be repeated until given permission to stop.

    Each trainee is being marked on their appearance, bearing and the way they carry out their duties. Failure to carry out any tasks by any member of the trainee class will mean all trainees will be punished*

    Shahrazad observes the list, and immediately starts searching for Rando

  • S

    Kalith reports to duty in newly cleaned armor, weapons and gear and awaits orders.
