Training Officer
Class: Male, Human
Come one, come all!
“Come one, come all!” the training officer greets you and gives you a wooden training weapon each, after which he starts with a few warm-ups, followed by a lecture on the most common mistakes beginners make. Then, he lets you pair up for some short training fights.
Next, you form two groups and prowl the battlements. One group tries to storm the castle using siege ladders and finds out that the defenders are in a much better position. The instructor ends the exercise before the first siege ladder tumbles over, so no one is seriously hurt.
To finish the maneuvers, you get to fight a stuffed dummy moved by six guardsmen from a safe distance using poles and levers. Some of the participants are dealt some heavy blows this time.
Ale for everybody marks the end of the event, after which you find yourselves back on the street in a state of complete exhaustion.
