Hark was preparing to go out for a few drinks when he heard the familiar sound of an explosion. Hark stepped out of his hovel to see flaming wood splinters flying through the air, and a short distance away the wall breached. Hark ducked as a large piece of burning wood flew through the air - landing on the roof of his hovel. It was mere seconds before the hovel began to take to the fire. Hark quickly made his way in, heading straight for the chest in the corner. He pulled the key off his neck and quickly removed the lock from the chest. The room was already beginning to fill with smoke. He threw open the chest and hesitated for a moment. Tarnished silver. A large silver kite shield, a silver broadsword and a fuil suit of regal silver dragon armor.
By the time Hark managed to don his armor his hovel was completely alight, pieces of crumbling wood and ash falling from the ceiling, and the room cast in a harsh orange light. Even the door was on fire. The heat was oppressive, although, strangely, it didn't hurt. The heavy shield in his left hand had a stlyized scale on it, to symbolize balance and justice. In his right hand he held a tarnished silver broadsword.
The frame around the door had begun to warp, and the best option to open the door was a swift kick from his armored boot. The wooden door simply crumbled under the weight of a silver clad foot bursting through the door. Hark walked out through the embers, his faded crimson cape catching the air movement from the fire. Hark took a few more steps forward only to hear his hovel collapse behind him, nothing left but a few nails and ash.
Hark looked to his right, the bandits already beginning to pour through the breached wall. Hark began sprinting towards the opening. This is what he was trained for in the Silver Dragon Knights, fighting in tight spaces as shock troops or as defenders of a breach.
"Gods Dammit" Hark muttered, this was the second time he'd lost everything he had come to call familiar. Am I destined to wander forever? Hark thought before colliding full speed with one of the first bandits through the wall, bringing the shield up and smashing him in the chin. There was a sickening crunch as the bandit lost several teeth and received a shattered jaw. As he recovered, his axe in his hand, Hark brought the sword through the bandit's sternum, quickly withdrawing it as the bandit crumbled forward.
Hark brought his shield over his chest and quickly brought the butt of his broadsword into the shield, a loud metallic clang would have been heard from quite a distance.


Oh look not a single mention of his armor being from Vinsenia. Just the Silver Dragon Knights which I could only have known about from his CS. And as I already clearly pointed out, I had simply forgotten the details. I mean really, there's like 15 characters in this party, I can't be expected to have all their CS's totally memorized, can I?

Part of being in an RP is referring to CS's if you're not sure who's who.

Please re-read my last post. I cannot tell you how many times I've gone through the CS's in Roleplays I'm in just to make sure somebody is who I think they are, or what they look like. I admit that, yes, I screwed up in having Barst rescue that girl. I forgot that in Vincanity's post, he'd had Helath kill the bandit.

When that was brought to attention, I said woops and fixed it. That was it.

Well, you didn't actually fix it, and you complained about a mistake YOU made. There's two reasons.

Double did actually did fix it, a while ago now. Dragging this on would be pointless, as the moment's already passed.

MMM's right on the money with the complaining about a mistake you made. However, this is no reason to harp on you after fixing it.
Now then, let's all settle down.

Taken right now from Double's post. I know it's not fun to retroactively edit posts, but it has to be done sometimes.
"he said no more, and an arrow from above struck him in the arm. With the girl now released, she was then hoisted onto a pegasus and carried to safety. Barst. It had to be the Pegasus Knight Kristoph had asked about earlier. Kristoph approached silently, listening the other man introduce himself as Helath and simply letting Simon do the talking."

As Vincanity said, Helath killed the bandit. As such, I edited Barst into a different scenario.

Okay there. Are we done now or is there another minor error you want to call to attention in my post?

Holy moley, what did I do? Suddenly dragged into some crazy anger over here.
Got a question for you GM:
How well known are the Silver Dragon Knights? I kind of envsioned them as rather famous, especially within Vinsenia, and I'd expect that someone who defended his nation against Vinsenia would know of them, but how far has their exploits reached?

Give or take 3.467 degrees latitude. I think.

They're an elite force to a formerly purely defensive nation, so I doubt they'd be well known as an army unless they were fought directly.

I guess I have another question, would their banner have changed since the new king came to power? IE, would I be bearing an obsolete sigil?

Nope, the new king still flies the flag of Vinensia, so it's unchanged.

I'll have a post up in the morning-ish.

@Nerendier, I'd think that the ceremonial idea would work well 0: Alice would most likely remember, yet would likely be remembered lol

I work a double tomorrow then another double the day after, so it might be fairly unlikely that I'd get to post. So Tuesday most likely.
