- † enters † -- Josaine, 18:44:05 04/06/02 Sat
Young woman enters the training grounds, dressed in a simple shirt and breeches. Twin daggers hang at her hips while others are hidden all over her body along with other miscellanious weapons. She pauses to pins her long raven hair out of her way and silently waits for Guin and Crule.

- Grin -- Lady Guinevere, 18:29:10 12/08/04 Wed
She was slightly startled when her student yielded--he seemed to be the type to have a bit more fight in him than that--but, alas, it was only practice.
He had performed well enough, anyway, so it wasn't a bad thing that he had yielded--just slightly surprising.
Lowering the weaponry in her hands, she remained alert, just in case this was a tactic on Aduial's part...
"A fine performance. You do have immense potential in combat, although I would advise you to take up running, or another activity that will improve your stamina... After all, being able to outlast your opponent is just as important as being able to overpower him, or kill him. As is the element of surprise... But that is a different lesson entirely."
She glanced at him, grinning idly.
"Would you care for a short break in order to get some food or water, and to refresh yourself, or shall we just press on without such a pause?"

The master glanced over at her new student, expression one of bored patience, as if the very routine of going through yet another tedious "what-do-you-know" session was tiresome... Perhaps she'd liven up the generic routine when it came to lessons and other tasks... But, alas, for now... The basics begged for a traditional approach.
"So. What skills do you currently possess? What are your strengths, your weaknesses? What do you seek to learn, what skills do you wish to improve?"

"I've tested your skills with projectiles, and I've given you a sample situation... That had the possibilty of turning into a free-for-all, close-range combat style."
The master grinned slightly, adjusting her stance slightly. It was a barely noticeable move for the most part, just an idle shifting of her weight, eyes continually focused on her student, looking to anticipate any motions he would make...
"Tell me. How much do you know of hand-to-hand combat? Of fighting with polearms? Swords? Axes? Maces? Clubs? Anything that may be fought with in close range. Conventional weapons only, I don't want to know how proficient you are at fighting with a pitchfork in hand... Improvisation is fabulous for times like those when you have a strange weapon..."

Elven lady enters the grounds, dressed in black breeches and shirt, matching the long black hair that was currently tamed in a braid down her back. She carries her weapons with her, a longbow, sword, and concealed daggers, all of elven-make. Dark blue eyes gaze around for her master whom had summoned her here.

Stealthy figure enters from the main hall dressed in dark breeches and a dark shirt with silent, wellworn leather boots, pausing briefly to secure her cropped brunette locks. Jade eyes scan the practice grounds and the occupants therein before settling on a corner half in the shadows. Drawing two daggers from unknown places she begins a careful, deadly dance, each pass of the knives stretching and exercising a new muscle, occasionally taking a brief hiatus to smoothly change daggers. Practice made perfect, which was necessary for her job.

(ooc - see other reply below first...)
"After you finish your explanation, I have an assignment for you. This will be worth plenty--your training is nearly complete, as it is, but you still must pass a few examinations. If all goes well then, you will become an assassin and a member of the guild. I'll explain them when you return. You are to track and capture one feline. This feline."
A small grey striped cat sat beside her foot, tail curled snugly about her body, eyes focused on the apprentice.
"You will have up to five days to find her and return her here. She will venture where you can follow, and will hide--if you do not catch her beforehand--without going too far down any of the roads available to you. Perhaps two days worth of travel, at most. You should be capable of returning well before your time expires.
"Should your time expire before you return to the doors of this academy, you will get far less credit for your effort. Be wary--my feline can be difficult to spot..."
The feline fled, darting out into An'kor City, and the assassin smiled. "During the time you are missing, I will run a few simple errands in town if you are desperate to find me."

The assassin prowled the training grounds. There were no students about, no jobs to perform. Nothing. She thought perhaps weapons practice would ease the unrelenting boredom beginning to creep into her idle actions. Yes, weaponry. She needed to keep her mind on a task.
What weapon did she need the most work on... Her aim was suitable, archery precise. Daggers was her best weapon skill. She was a fair hand at the sword...
Surveying the rack of weaponry, she noted the hefty battleaxes. Yes, there was a weapon that she could improve with. Lifting the heavy weapon with ease, she took it out into the grounds and began the dance of training...

The catling pads down the stairs and enters the training grounds, a little elf child is walking beside her, the catling takes one look at all of the instrctors and says to the child named Mouse, " Mouse, I think I'll just train you myself in the forest, how about that? And then, when your a really good fighter, I'll get you a horse." Mouses eyes lit up like little sparks, "Oh yes! You train me, then I can get my very own horse!" the two of them turned around and headed back to the barracks to get there stuff.

- She walks in, and looks around. -- Shadowmoon, 09:03:35 12/15/02 Sun
Shadowmoon walks in, glancing around darkly. She looks as if she is about to leave. Suddenly, as if on impulse, she casts her cloak to the side, revealing wings as dark as the night, cat-like claws and tufted ears. Her clothing is leather, like that of one from the forest. She glances around. "This doesn't seem like much of an Assassin's Guild to me," she says in disgust, her tufted ears twitching. "Are there none that wish to challenge me? I came to this Guild to train, not to stand around and wait for a tutor."
She glances around. "If there are none here to challenge me, then I suppose that I will have to get my practice another way." She leaps into the air, her wings taking her into a near-by tree. She leans out, looking at the side of the building facing her. "Now, where would an assassin keep her valuables? Hmm . . ."

(ooc: many apologies, I am having mondo computer problems and may only get on sporadically. So, here are all the tasks I want you to complete, you will get graded on them, and if you have enough points you may take your test to be an assassin. Points are awarded for creativity, originality, length, word choice, spelling, grammar, html usage, etc.)
"I will set you four tasks," she said. "The first is to explain the pros and cons (at least three) of three weapons commonly used for assassination. Not including poison. The second," she continued, "is to list three effective poisons, your reasons for choosing them, and a description of how they work. Third task is to stalk a mark in An'kor City for a period of four days without being revealed. You must post in the city for each of the four days, and if they indicate that they see your character, you have not completed your task and must try again. The fourth and final task," she said, "is a spar in swordfight. You may pair up, or pick a fight with someone and take it outside An'kor." She grinned, a rare site for her, though it held no mirth, "Should you survive those and do well, you will be set your test. Upon completion, you have made full Assassin. Should you not do well at these, you have three choices: be set another task, do exceptionally well on your test, or be refused continued training if you are unsuited to being an assassin. Take care to do well. Spelling, grammar, and content are most important," she finished.

The boards got changed 'cause they're in a new game now, An'kor. Castle Camelot is no more. However, if you indeed did kill your mark, you are welcome in An'kor as a full assassin. If not, come to An'kor in any case, and we will set a new mark. if you don't see An'kor in the main clickie thing, hit refresh, and if that don't work, go to http://dreamscapegames.tripod.com/ and try that...
