[Nestor and Wa]

OOC: Sorry, I may not have made it that clear, but you are not attacking each other but different persons who are there only to test your ability with your weapon. Also feel free to go into as much detail as you want. I award xp for good role playing. Also, instead of going through a whole combat scene (which could take days) I want to get the adventure rolling now that everyone is together. So, we will play it out from here and see how it goes... good luck! ;)

[Wa]

OOC: I read the ooc posts about the leathers & chains, so you're all set there.

IC: Wa and his opponent strike blows back and forth, the hits on Wa are tough, but do not cause much damage from the blunt sword. Likewise, Wa is obviously careful to make sure that no lasting damage is done to his priest opponent. They go back and forth for a good time, obviously matched up well. Finally a horn blows and Wa's opponent steps away. A crowd has gathered around by this time and applaud the dwarf's proficiency with his axe. But the spar has obviously taken a lot out of both men and the healers come by to wrap wounds and make sure everyone is in good shape. Wa is asked to stand off to the side while the others finish, he happens to be next to another two (one being Nestor) while they finish their sparring.

[Nestor]

IC: Nestor waits for his opponent, holding his ground. His opponent lunges and slashes at Nestor but meets only steel. Whenever Nestor has an opportunity he makes his attempt at hitting his opponent, but with as little force as possbile. The test ends rather quickly, as the priests decide that Nestor, as a priest of Heironeous, is obviously gifted with the weapon of his chosen god. He is checked and bandaged by the healers standing by and is told to wait by the others (including Wa).

IC: As the last of the adventurers finish their tests they begin to stand together in a group, anticipating their participation in the mission. Finally Celaria makes her way up in front of everyone and speaks:

"Well, I must again congratulate all of you on your fine swordsmanship, archery, and for all your good caring hearts. You have made the selection process very difficult, but we have to choose and therefore we call upon Wa Inigol, Nestor Mayfaire, and Roxy Winterheart to help with our expeditions. I will be going along also to help in any way that I can. Wa, you should feel very priviledged, it is not often that we call on the duty of one that does worship one of our gods, but we feel that your heart is good, and you were recommended to us by Roxy who has helped immensly in the past few days. Please rest as we will be leaving tomorrow night. If you have any question please ask me or Cerick before we leave."

OOC: I just wanted to add that if anyone ever feels like suggesting anything to me or has any questions or even feels that I have made a mistake, please feel free to say something. I am a new AGM here, and though I have all the 3ed books, I was brought up on 2ed and am still getting used to some of the rules. I am a rather laid back person so do not hesitate to express yourself. All I ask is that you not be rude, and that I may take some things out of context. But all in all I am a logically minded person. This way we can all have a good time and can learn from our adventure. Thanks! :)
