I'll take the wooden bascinet as well as the bone brestplate if no one else wants it.

[Cheeetar]

I would like to add a specialisation in my steel short sword.
I shall take the steel cap and put it on.
"Captain Inaluct, how long must we ride until we come upon the castle?"

[Squeegy]

Protip - Experience
Every enemy you face in a fight gives you 10 EXP. Five enemies yield 50. This is divided evenly among everyone in the group who was fighting (except NPCs). So, with five people fighting and five enemies, everyone gets 10 EXP at the end of the fight. People knocked unconscious or killed do not get EXP.

Every level your health is raised and you are allowed to take a skill. You can improve on your old skills or add a new one. Every level in a skill (up to 9) raises its effectiveness.

[inaluct]

Huh. I guess I have fucking insane horse riding skills, to the point of being able to hit someone in the foot with a scimitar from horseback. Unfortunately, I am also ineffective.

I grab a steel longsword and some unclaimed armor (will I get a reduced bonus for using the sword, even though it isn't a scimitar? It's extremely similar).

"I am unsure of our distance from the castle. You'll have to ask our chivalrous friend."

Captain Inaluct looks back and forth.

"Hey, speaking of chivalry, how about we decapitate these guys? The ones that aren't already decapitated?"

[Squeegy]

Sorry, you chose scimitar specialization, not long sword. No bonus.

[inaluct]

Okay, then. I hammer the long sword into a scimitar on a rock.

Yes, I am aware that I am about to batter the shit out of a really nice sword to make it slightly curved.

[Cheeetar]

"Knight, how long do you think it is until we meet Earl Thompson?"
I shall rip apart any of the bandits clothing for use later as bandages.

[Squeegy]

As Inaluct batters his sword, it breaks in two. As well, it appears the bandit's clothing had plate mail sown in and cannot be used for bandages.

The knight says, "We have a day or two of riding. We had better start."

[inaluct]

I keep the broken sword and ride with the knight.

Traveling
The travel could take a while. You might as well talk amongst yourselves and decide your course of action.

[inaluct]

As Captain Inaluct rides, he talks incessantly. "When we get to the castle, we walk into Earl Thompson's throne room dramatically. I'll address him, explain what's going on, and say how the knight helped us. What do you guys think? Do we need something more specific? We could hand him the severed heads of some enemy soldiers."

[Cheeetar]

"We should stress how we saved the prisonsers. The Earl will be impressed"

[Squeegy]

Traveling
You talk a bit during your journey, but mostly there is silence. Night comes and goes, and you rest long enough to be awake the next day. Suddenly, off to the right, you see a man broken and bleeding, and lying in the dirt.

"We must be going," the knight says, "We are almost there."

[inaluct]

Can we recognize it as a soldier of either side?

[Squeegy]

The man is not wearing an insignia.
