Legend of the False Gods (invite only)

[Thardania]

Eegost was a little intimidated as he looked around and saw that he was the smallest person in his position. "No," he said to himself as he steeled his determination, "it just means that I have to work harder than everyone else." He grabbed a spear and then grunted as he grabbed a shield. "It's a little heavy," he said as he held the shield up. Why do I need this, he thought, I'm just going to be using my swords anyway.

[Man in A Box]

Lite wasn't to small but he wasn't bulking with muscles. he grabbed the weapons and smiled "the line, the unmoving beast, going forward in only a few steps and cutting down everything that goes near. nothing gets past the wall" Lite looked at Eegost "honestly i feel sorry for you. your style requires you to be free of weight but Templers are meant to be the heavy duty wall that is ever unmoving thanks to there superior strength and power. you obviously don't fit the bill for that" Lite looked away "you look like a support man" he said smiling "baking up the line with long ranged weapons and killing anyone who gets past the wall, or perhaps a gladiator, your not that vicious but your about the right body condition"
the drill captain nodded "line up, this is the first test" the vets got in a separate line then the recruits "bum rush them vets. recruits, you must hold them back with your shield! do not kill each other, this is only a test!"
the staff Sergent had the dummies using wooden blades since this was only a drill.

[Bedlams Crown]

Kekacauan had one hand on the spear and one hand on his sword," This will be easy,"

[Thardania]

"I can do this, I can do this," Eegost kept muttering to himself over and over, ignoring Lite's comments. As he spoke he remembered back to the night before his home was attacked. He remembered the tournament he had entered, and the skeleton that was there. No, focus! he thought to himself, If I could kill that thing, I can do this too. He pushed the end of his spear into the ground for support as he held his shield up the best he could. Templars. Knights. Holy knights from what I heard in the stories. Gladiators. They usually died in the end. Fitting name. Except for that one guy.

[Man in A Box]

the drill captain smacked the back of Kekacauan's head "your not killing them you fool! sheath that sword and pick your shield up! you only use your sword if you loose your spear understand!" he the drill captain yelled in Kekacauan's ear. Lite stepped forward and stretched and held up his shield up, he was always confident with what he did, if you have no confidence then you might as well not try. Lite got in a staggered stance did the same as Eegost putting his spear for support but only for a last resort.
the vets were pumped, they were ready to plow the newbies

[Bedlams Crown]

Kekacauan said"ok captain"he sheathed his sword and grabbed a shield and got back into position

[Man in A Box]

as the recruits got in line the captain finally released the vets. the vets came hard and heavy "if anyone gets past 100 push ups" Lite kept his weight on his forward and made sure to keep his back foot cement so they couldn't knock him over or pull him forward, Lite kept an eye over his shield so he could see where they were coming from.
the vets were trying hard to get by. if they couldn't knock you down they would yank on the shield to throw out of the way. if that didn't work they would try to cut through the side where your weak, and even when they are taller then you they, for fun, try to jump over you, and it works some times

[Scocialist Provinces]

"OOH! Finally, some recreation!" Flame burst out, still handcuffed to Eagost. "Do be carefull, though. The blades may not be sharp, but they hit hard and can break bones." He advised to his friends. the dummies began to charge, and flame litterally dragged eagost along in his own charge.

[Thardania]

Eegost's arms buckled as a vet crashed into his shield, and it hit him hard in the face. He managed to stand his ground, though not very well. The vet then decided to push towards Eegost's spear hand. Eegost felt the vet slipping through on one side. He let go of his spear and punched the vet in the gut, making him lose his breath and knocking him to the ground. Crap, I hope I don't get in trouble for that, he thought.

[Bedlams Crown]

As the first vet hit Kekacauan's shield he began to lose his balance Kekacauan threw his shield at the vet. The vet easily blocked the shield but it gave Kekacauan enough time to hit the vet in the gut with the hilt of the spear knocking him down.

[Man in A Box]

Lite held his ground well. he was enjoying this type of fight. Lite kept his ground and kept his vet in front of the shield. finally the vet got angry at Lite and he swiped his back hand across Lite's face. Lite got angry. he brought the shield down on the vet's foot crushing them, the vet let out a yell of pain and before he could let it all out, Lite brought his shield up and slammed his jaw shut making him bite his tongue and topple backwards. the vet got back up and rushed with a load more of anger, but due to his anger he charged head first. Lite busted forward with a shoulder ram and his shield hoisted up to create the maximum impact. that knocked the vet senseless on the floor.
"alright!" the the drill captain called "now heres a rule i want you to remember: when you loose to many men on the line then you will dispatch and join the charge with the gladiators, understand!" he made a gesture to the vets and they grabbed there shield and spears "now that the playing field is equal let see who can stand there ground.
Lite got back in stance preparing to take the vets on. in the not to far distance he could hear the stomping of hooves and wheels. he turned his eyes to meet the rest of the Isenra army approaching the camp. Lite tried not to pay mind to them.
"Begin!" commanded the drill captain

[Thardania]

Eegost nodded, holding up his shield before he noticed more soldiers coming to the camp. He looked back just in time to see a vet crash into him. He managed to stay on the ground, but he slid back a few inches. The vet was still pushing on the shield, slowly sliding him back, and now he had no spear to hold onto. Thinking quickly, he pulled his shield back, making the vet lose his balance, then he quickly pushed the shield forward with all his might, hitting the vet in the face and knocking him out. He quickly got back into the line just in time to block another vet.

[Man in A Box]

the vets strategy was to charge them and pushed the bottom of there shield under theres giving them leverage to push up knocking the enemy off balance and hopefully off there feet.
Lite looked to the approaching troops and among them were two girls, one with fine, beautiful, well matured body dressed in formal shrine outfit. the other smaller and cuter and looked much more flexible.
as Lite laid his eyes on them he paused and zoned out and was quickly knocked on his ass by the vets and even then he just stared at the two beautys

[Thardania]

"Aaahhh!!" Eegost shouted before he landed on the ground with an "ooph". He had fallen onto the shield when the vet pushed at the bottom of it. When the vet realized that, he had thrown Eegost back quite a few feet. Now Eegost just lay there, dazed and confused.

[Bedlams Crown]

Kekacauan fought off the one vet after the other but when Lite fell on his ass he couldn't help to see why,Then he saw the two women and suffered the same diffeat as Lite.

[Man in A Box]

the drill captain yelled at them "what do you think your doing! if that ever happens again i'll throw back in the pit"
Lite groaned and found his way back to his feet. "put your weapons up, its brake time!" the captain called. Lite put his weapons back and found a seat on a bench, he watched the new guys coming in, they were just the same, recruited forcefully, and some are Isenra troopers. Lite examined the two girls, he noticed that they were both Isenra citizens, probably just trying to defend there country. that was unusual but it was accepted. Lite was distracted, he couldn't help but sit and stare at the girl's fine bodies.

[Scocialist Provinces]

Flamed burst into uncontrolable laughter at Lite's mistake. The same thing had happened to himself before, twice, but he learned to cancel out that kind of emotion, and eventually most emotions altogether. He walked up beside Lite, still chuckling "Ah, so it finally hit you. Quite literally, actually. Hah, don't worry, it happens to everyone at least twice, even me." It's a pain in the ass at first, but once you've given it a... Go... You learn to block them out." he informed Lite, still in tears.

[Thardania]

Eegost got up with a grunt, noticing that Lite and Kekacauan had been knocked back too. Of course, it looked like he was the only one that was thrown, but at least the captain wasn't yelling at him specifically. Eegost put his weapons away and sat on a bench near Lite and Flame. "So that's what you're looking at," he said as he followed Lite's gaze to the two girls among the new recruits coming in.

[Bedlams Crown]

Kekacauan got up, put his weapon away, went over to Lite, Eegost, and Flame and stared at the women.

[Man in A Box]

Lite sat and stared "its just that its been some time since i..." he looked at three sitting with him "that's not all look at once you pervs!" he said waving his in front of there faces to get them to look away "i for one am not the kind to sit around and stare. i would try but sadly they are women of ISenra and they see us as they see dogs, we've no chance" Lite said before standing up and taking a breath "really they'll just a distraction to us" Lite sighed

[Scocialist Provinces]

"No, really?" Flame repleid sarcastically. "You three'll get used to it. and beleive me when I say this, they think the same about you. We're just another group of wife-beaters that think little more of them than sex toys. Well, at least it's true about me!" He joked. "So, when do you guys think we're being shipped off to ginger-land?"

[Thardania]

"They're not the only recruits, you know," he said to Lite as he noticed a darker-skinned fellow right behind the girls. From the looks of it he was a little shorter than Lite but was well-muscled. "He looks like a fighter, I wonder where he's from?" he thought out loud to himself before turning his attention to Flame. "What the heck is ginger-land?"

[Scocialist Provinces]

"Ourock. You know who we're fighting, I hope?" flame began "Everyone there is a ginger, and scream like little girls when stabbed." he chuckled. He had fought in Ourock before, and found it rather fun. "They seem to bleed more than normal. I guess the sun just boils their blood!" he joked.

[Man in A Box]

Lite sighed "just how old are you Flame?" Lite asked turning to him "not all off them are gingers but they do seem like it" Lite chuckled and looked to the Dark skinned man "hm... maybe he can help with something" Lite turned and walked off forgetting that he had asked Flame a question "where did thoughs two go?" he wondered off off minded.

[Scocialist Provinces]

OoC: Flame is 29, but has been in the army for 12 years
