Riparian Guard - Barracks - Room 352 - Ramiel

Ladon · October 1, 2004, 05:10 PM

The room was basic, as the Recruiting sergeant had already stated. There was the bunk, that had two sheets, two blankets and a pillow, all neatly folded ready for Ramiel to use. There was a set of drawers, and a small desk with a candle holder on it. The candles (five) were in the top drawer of the set of drawers. There was also a trunk for the storage of bulky items. Against the back wall stood a wardrobe that had a shelf in it.

ooc - settle yourself in and the captain of the guard shall come and talk with you

Ramiel · October 1, 2004, 07:10 PM

Ramiel slipped the key into the lock on the door, and entered his room. It had been months since he'd seen a bed, let alone his own room. He approached the set of drawers, and pulled the strange key from his pocket. What the hell, he thought, might as well leave it here; as safe of place as any. He opened the drawer, placed the key in, and closed it. He looked through the rest of the room, hoping to find anything of worth. He came up empty handed; that is, unless the occasional dust bunny was worth anything. Sitting down upon his bed, he cracked his neck, and waited.

Ooc: Have a read of the new handbook so that you get the idea of what you can do and also the training that is available. If you have any questions don’t be afraid to ask either here, or on the ooc thread, or even PM

Ic: Captain Dalegan walked up to the new recruits door and knocked, He waited for the recruit to answer and then stepped into the room. He smiled as the new recruit had made an attempt at a salute. This was always fun to watch, and with training, would improve. The captain then began his introductions for new recruits to the guards of Riparia.

Serale Ramiel. My name is Captain Dalegan. I am the captain of the guard of Riparia. I am pleased to meet you and hope that you will have a long and fruitful career as you step out into the world of the Military that guards this great city.

First - The training course you are about to embark on lasts for a cycle. At the end of the training, and if you make it through the training, and be assured some do not make it, or can not hack it, then you will be enrolled properly into the Riparian Guard. In basic training you will be trained in the basics of some of the work that you will undertake in your life here. You will learn to work as a team, you will learn basic weapon skills of your choice, you will learn basic dagger skills as a compulsory weapon.

Second once I have finished this little introduction to the guards, you will be sent to collect your basic issue belongings for the duration of this training. You will be issued with a guards dress uniform, three training uniforms, a guards dagger, a provisional Guards visa, two pairs of boots, a copy of the guards handbook

Three - training is in two sections. you will be trained in the basics of what it takes to be apart of the riparian guards, and basics in strength and stamina, and endurance to make you fit. then towards the last couple of brightenings in your training, you will be trained in the use of the dagger and the weapon of your choice. On the last brightening of the training you will have a training adventure to complete. If you complete this training then you will be promoted to the Riparia guards.

One more thing, and funnily enough, the most important, for some that may well prove to be unable to complete the course, the pay for a trainee guardsman is the sum of twenty crowns for the cycle. This may not sound like much but you will be getting free room, and board, and free training in a number of different aspects of the life of a guardsmen.

Once you have completed training the pay packet of a private in this section of the military of the realm, is thirty two Crowns a cycle. Again this is plus the previous benefits.

So Ramiel, do you have any questions about the Riparian Guards at this time that I can answer for you now?

Ramiel · October 9, 2004, 08:16 PM

Ramiel listened intently to Captain Dalegan, nodding his head occasionally. In fact, he was so concentrated, it was a few seconds before he realized he had asked him a question. He rose his hand in another salute, only marginally better then his first.

No questions, sir. I look foreward to serving Riparia.

Ladon · October 17, 2004, 09:22 AM

The Captain smiled in the direction of his newest recruit.

So I now think you should head to the armory stores and pick up your kit and then your time is your own until you recieve your uniforms and weapons.

The Captain made his farewell to Ramiel and then Ramiel went to the stores.

The Armory stores Sergeant was busy when Ramiel entered. There were one other in the room that would be served before he got to serving the elf. As it came to Ramiel's turn, the sergeant, a Short human with a funny looking hat on his head, that hid one of his eyes, looked the Elf over.

The sergeant went through the racks of uniforms, everyday uniforms, and then brought them to the counter in the room.

Well my friend, here's your dress uniform, it will fit I can tell your size so do not fret You also have three, every day uniforms.

The sergeant then moved off to the racks of weapons and collected the Standard Guards dagger, and then collected the introduction documentation pack. The dagger was a special dagger that the guards were given on enrolling. It was made from dwaven steel, exceptionally strong and sharpened to the point that a human hair falling onto it would be cut into two. It had a slightly curved, eight inch blade.

Right here we have your dagger. Do not lose it for it is you standard weapon and you will be court marshalled if you are caught without it when you are on duty. The documentation pack includes your military visa, and the Riparian guard Handbook. You must sign the Visa for it to become your identity card. On completion of your training the CO will sign it to make you an official Guardsman. You will need to wear your everyday uniform first thing to your training sessions, So, new recruit, take these and be ready for the start of the new brightening.

Ramiel · October 17, 2004, 07:42 PM

Ramiel took the equipment in his hands, attempting yet another salute, and nearly spilling everything on the floor. After a minute of juggling, he walked back to his room. He placed the clothes into the drawers, putting the dagger on top of it. As he walked over to the bed, he remembered that he hadn't signed his visa yet. After doing so, he laid on the bed, flipping the mysterious key through his fingers.

Ladon · October 18, 2004, 01:00 AM

ooc: Ive just seen the thread where you picked the key up. Once we get you through a bit of your training, I can help with the finding of where that key goes

I'll look to setting up your training thread now and then you can begin to become a part of the guards here.

ic: ~The next Brightening~

In truth Ramiel would have no idea as to what adventures that key may hold, but he kept this in his mind for another time, for from this an adventure of much intrigue would await his inquisitive mind. Still Now was not the time for this to happen. The dawn of a new brightening awaited and the Training Sergeant awaited his presence of the parade ground.

Sergeant on deck

OOC: make sure you salute

IC: The sergeant walked up to each of the recruits rooms. He knocked on the door and waited to be allowed admission. There were two reasons for him arriving at their rooms this time in the evening. One was his weekly inspection, the other he would announce after he had inspected the room

Serale Recruit, it is the time of the cycle inspection. Now this will occur on a regular, (ooc: when the GM can remember

), interval to ensure that throoms are being kept to the standards required from those in Military service.

The sergeant inspected the room, and found a couple of small problems that he pointed out to the recruit, and then he moved on to the second reason why he had turned up at the recruit’s room.

Right get these things sorted out and no further action will be taken against you. (ooc: imagine what you could have messed up and sort it out,

)

Now recruit I do not know if you have heard the rumours that are passing through the Riparian guards at the moment, so I am here to put these rumours straight.

Yes the riparian Guards are going to war.

Yes, if you so wish you may go along on the mission, although as a recruit you will not see much of the action at the battle front, but you will be involved in the battle in some way.

I need to know whether you want to go on this mission by the end of tomorrow (ooc: Saturday) so have a think about it. If you want to go then let me know, and tidy your room recruit, as I want to be able to eat my food off the floor next time I come in here.

Ramiel · October 21, 2004, 08:12 PM

As the Sergeant entered the room, Ramiel stood up quickly from the bed, raising his arm in a salute. He listened intently as the Sergeant pointed out several small flaws in the way his bed was tucked; he also noted that the room was rather dirty, and could use a sweeping. Ramiel made a mental note not to forget these; it could be bad for him.

When the Sergeant said that Riparia was at war, Ramiel knew he wanted to join them. When he finished, Ramiel gave him another salute.

"Yes, sir, this room will be spotless when you return. Thank you for pointing them out."

Ladon · October 22, 2004, 02:18 PM

The Sergeant nodded as the recruit confirmed that his room would be tidied up.

See that it is Recruit, for we have a certain standard that we need to ensure we keep around here.

If you want to join in the other recruits that are going to be going to war get your butt down onto The parade ground where the captain will be waiting for you.
