Topic: Forgotten Realms: The Unsung Heroes
Subject: .


Xaris trained hard with the soldiers, and when this private Rook threw his sword down in disgust, he was appalled. He really thought he was getting through to the men, breaking through the yolks of average citizenship and dipping into their warrior instinct. He was thrown into an even deeper anger as he disrespected the orders his superior had given to him. He himself might not of been the best at taking orders but he knew who should of been, and it was Rook. Xaris hurried over to the man before he could get far, and stood in front of him.

" Where do you think you are going." Before he could answer, Xaris was already speaking again.

" It doesn't matter, because your going to be back there and pick up your sword, and ask your superior if you can take leave. Do you know what will happen to this place if even one person is let go with an attitude like yours? This whole place, where I almost died for, where my friends almost died, where you will protect your family and friends, will be burnt to the ground by goblins because people like you don't give two damns about anything but themselves! Have you even looked at yourself? You think a goblin will be a push over in your condition? You will be skewered like the pigs we eat for dinner and then your family will die. Now, be a good soldier, and train as hard as you can so we don't all make this place your grave. And I swear, if you continue walking in that direction I'll have to put you in your place. This is no time for people to act like children!"

While Xaris was finishing up training the guards, a large human came up to him through the gates and introduced himself as a warrior of helm. Xaris reached out and grasped the armour clad fighter and smiled.

"I am glad to have another warrior here to defend the mighty fort that is the Starspire Bastion." The small gnome looked quite pleased as he spoke about the fort.

"You could probably help me train these men every day into mighty warriors, as of right now they are not up to par with what we need to fight these goblinoids." He looks back to Thomas, with a slightly apologetic face. " No offense."

He looks back to the steely warrior and speaks again. "But you probably should go see Lord Bart, tell him that you are here and I'm sure a proper position will be picked out for you. Lord Bart can be found further in the keep, I'm not sure where he is right now though. My name is Xaris by the way. "

With that he turned back around and began training the soldiers once more, tutoring and teaching them in the arts of swordplay, well as much as a barbarian knows atleast.

Topic: Need some help in designing an encounter....
Subject: First of all...


That sounds like a crazy fun encounter. But when it comes to trying to think of something all I can think of right off the top of my head is jut create your own monster! In te back of the monstermanual it gives you a ton of help in making your own thing, and if you do want to use a creature like this, then I suggest some sort of minor daemon or a variation of some fiend? iunno

Xaris walked down to the bailey where at a distance, he watched the seven men train. He almost winced at the lack of enthusiasm and discipline they all had, and knew that if this keep was going to be defended by these men, he would have to help them work as hard as they could. The wind blew his hair around as he walked closer, and he quickly pushed it back and tucked in his newly purchased chainshirt, its rattling starting to get slightly on his nerves. As he approached, he greeted the soldiers in front of him with a smile and a kind word.

“Hello, Thomas was it? I happen to notice you were training your men and thought that I could help.”

He stepped forward, and the men in front of him smiled and greeted him also. Thomas looked to him and spoke.

“ Ah, master Xaris, I am glad to have you in my presence. The stories of your heroism spread far and wide, and we would be honored to have you by our side.”

He looked at the small gnome, his eyes not coming off of him. It was not everyday that the average person saw a gnome, let alone one with such a different colour of skin. But Xaris did not mind, he was used to these looks by now and just took it as human curiosity, something that he still was trying to understand.

Xaris smiled and looked at the men and how they stood with their swords, commenting in his mind on how some slouched and on how others treated their weapon like a tool, and not an extension of their body like all good fighters should. He stepped forward once more, joining in between the sergeant and the six men he trained.

“ I couldn’t help but notice, but I think I have a few pointers to give to you and your men. If these goblins are going to come back we are going to be the first line of defense, and we all need to be as ready as possible.”

Xaris could see in captain James face that he really did not like the idea of someone else training his men, but he also did not openly come out and refuse Xaris’s offer. Instead he called one of his men forward.

“ Private Wilhelm, step forward and show master Xaris what he have been training all week.”

A young man about the same age as James stepped forward, obviously tense about sparring with Xaris. He gripped his short sword tightly and came up to Xaris, looking down to him. Xaris looked up, and smiled calmy. He reached back and unsheathed his mighty great sword which hung behind the green cloak that he received from Bart. He stepped back and readied his fighting stance.

“Whenever you are ready, sir Wilhelm.” Xaris spoke calmly, but his face suddenly getting serious, his jaw clenched and his eyes narrowed, staring directly into the face of Wilhelm. The man has obvious fear in his eyes, but still came forward at Xaris, his sword blatantly held with an untrained hand. He thrust his sword at Xaris, which he easily stepped to the right, and brought his sword down with two hands to touch the elbow of the arm which held the sword, and with a quick change in step brought the swords point to the mans belly, touching the tip of the blade to the leather armor. As quickly as the spar had started, it had ended.

Captain James crossed his arms and nodded to Xaris.

“ I see, maybe we do need your help after all.”

Xaris smiled and sheathed his great sword, and stepped to Captain James to shake his hand.

“ I will be glad to help you train your men, and even I can give you private lessons, Captain james. I can bring out the fighting machine in all of you, and I promise you that when the day comes to bring these skills to bear against the enemy I will be at the front lines, amongst the men in which I trained with!”
Xaris let go of the captains hand and began to show the men on how to hold the sword, defend, block, and take advantage of every opportunity you get. He explained how you have to practice with every ounce of your body and soul, and that the way you hold yourself and the way you look to the enemy is as much a factor as how well you use the sword. Intimidation is key to breaking moral, and you win battles by not only killing but scattering the enemy into oblivion, and picking them off afterwards.

Xaris trained with the soldiers, and after the training was over for that session he talked with james to the side.

“ Captain James, I shall try to train with you and your men every day, with every one of them. I will be trying to get you new gear as well. This leather will not protect you from much and I think all the men need long swords and large shields. Will you accept my help through out the many weeks to come? Winter is settling fast and we need to be in the best shape we can get in.”

and I came up with a picture of what we could have. Ignore where the guards are placed, as we have decided it would be best to have two guards at each entrance. What do you guys think?

Gunk-karg sighed at the sight of the other two leaving. He was left sitting around the campfire with Ether, Kannizan, and Jethro. He leaned onto his hands, resting his elbows on his knees and sighed in frustration again, listening to Kannizan and Ether talk. He began to take off his patch work leather vest, and then his chain shirt under neath, leaving him on with a pair of dark brown pants, and a white under shirt. He placed them next to his sleeping area, and looked around as the second fire started to glow.

" By all that is good in this damned world why in the hell are the pointy eared half breeds being so difficult?"

He looked around to the three other men who sat with him.

" At least most of us here are not pig headed enough to think they can throw a fit and leave and hope to get their way. And I'll take last watch, I like to be up early enough to work out the morning kinks."

He stared into the fire, kicking around some dirt with his studded leather boot, and looked up again, secretly hoping that these others do not ruin this whole expedition.
