Spit on the arrowheads to get them to stick before tying them on.

Continue training. Watch the men carefully to see what mistakes they're making.

Nirur, let me know if you want me to type that section of the book now. I have it all planned out, but I didn’t have time to throw it into a document. I think I gave you all of the relevant pieces from it. The other information in that section relates to how the different schools of thought perceive other magic forms.
((The summery was enough.))

See if the book has any easy to cast inspirational spells.

Search it, then tie it to a chair and then slap it to wake it up. If it speaks common, then interrogate it about what is down in the cave, and what killed the people.

Just wanted to make sure everything is okay, Urist. Are you doing something for Easter?

Turn 43: Call to Arms (Cont.)
~Tradebridge Castle~
     Rabble couldn’t find any other complete description of spells, but he did find a passage suggestive of one he could manage.
Spoiler: Relevant Section (click to show/hide)
The book went on to describe how different illusions could interact with each other, a problem that didn’t not seem immediately relevant to Rabble.

    Cortis finally got his arrows put together, yielding 8 arrows which would be far more effective than the crude sticks he had previously been using. Xaver continued pushing his men harder. He walked through the ranks and corrected his men where he could. He was working with one pair when, as he walked up to correct the stance of the defending one, the other continued the cadence and struck prematurely. The cut was shallow and would heal quickly, but the men didn’t seem keen on continuing to work with such a real potential for injury. +1 Teacher

Spoiler: Tradebridge Castle (click to show/hide)
~A cave near Barkamsted~
      Eliza and Lork could find nothing on the thing’s body, except the rags it wore. Eliza took a chair from one of the rooms nearby meant for sleeping and Lork tied it down before shocking it awake with a slap. It made a kind of shrieking sound and whipped its head around, looking for escape. Lork started shouting at it in common, and it seemed to perk up. It made a variety of different sounds before finally settling into what sounded like common. It had a strange accent, and it faltered over many words, but it seemed to know common passably well.
”The cave is us, goblins you call us… pretty shining veins, meant for us. We wouldn’t kill, not enough metal. Men kill men, neither much metal. Ack, bad metal. Used metal.” The goblin shot Lork an accusatory look. ”You have no metal. What kind of men has no metal?”

Forget the battlefield, guys. We are gonna stay, cuz FDRP NEEDS AN ELITE SQUAD

((I feel like I should explain myself. I was expecting Soldiers to be like Simple folk exactly, just in a seperate setting. Like Jon Snow in GoT for example, same world, whole nother ballpark. If I wanted to play Warhammer, I'd not be on this thread. Sorry for wasting your time, Urist.))

Find something soft to use as a target (a pile of hay or something) and practice my accuracy. (This is a skill-increasing action)

Try to cast an autoillusory light spell. Meditate and convince myself that my hand is creating green light.

The point isn't really combat pushing me away; My guys are essentially bots, and interactions between players, Roleplay, doesn't seem to be on the top priority of Soldiers as Simple Folk does. This just suits my type of fun more.

I kinda imagined my guy was kinda like the mountain and his men. Not physically or by characteristics, just by how the group is an extension of him. If that isn't okay, I guess I'd have to join Soldiers. If that is the case, I'd like to see Roleplay be introduced too.

((Ah. There will be plenty of roleplay, though more with NPCs and less with player characters by sheer force of there being less players, at least initially. The real point of the different thread is to let me treat combat and movement on a different scale. The map is a part of that scale, not a statement of all of the types of play which will take place.

To lay out for you my plans for the thread, you will start by addressing the threat to the county, which will involve several skirmishes with brief rest periods. After that, depending on your success, you may be offered opportunities by people at different political levels. You could hire your band out as mercenaries, take up a crusade which will become available, retire your men, or become a standing army which is garrisoned at a strategic point. How these activities pan out will depend as much on how you treat NPCs and other players outside of combat as inside of it.

tl;dr It will be this thread, just with combat unfolding between groups instead of individuals.))
