Being truly on my own is a bit of a weird feeling. It's never really happened.

Let it never be said that sometimes extreme brevity isn't the most appropriate post, though. Everything is a tool.

I went ahead and read your profile again hunting for some since you asked so nicely. The only one I noticed offhand is that sheriff is used with sort of a more modern/wild west context. The medieval shire-reefe was similar (and, I am not extraordinarily well read on this topic, so I could be mistaken) but more of a position appointed to a local by the crown. If I remember correctly, Magistrate eventually replaced the word Sheriff in the middle ages and is a more accurate description of the office. So, closer to a judge/administrator than an officer?

@Monochromatic Rainbow You're staying. The decision isn't yours.


A magistrate is, I believe, the lowest level of criminal court in England and Wales. Equivalent to the Justice of the Peace. The Scottish Sheriff court is the one above that.

But when I was paying attention to law, it was concerned with contract and negligence, so I don't remember the court structure too well.
I know how tactics and medieval technology would relate to the current scenario.

But the knights contain a guy with dog ears and tail, someone that got up from a fatal wound, and the setting (it's been on here before) has standard fantasy dungeons. There is only so far I am going to take caring about historical realism.
It's a camp. That had a lookout. Without military discipline. Would you be surprised if most of them just left the weapon where they could run back and get it when the scouts came back? <.<
@Raineh Daze

Didn't see this, so forgive me for the double post errybody. But uh... polearms were the most common kind of weapon back in the medieval era, easier to use, cheaper, and more effective against angry knights than a sword.


... that has nothing to do with what I said. I essentially said "It would be really lucky for undisciplined people not expecting an attack to have an inconveniently big lump of wood and metal on hand"

Eh, if you can carry it without issue it's never too much armor. Keep going until Tyaethe can handle tank shell fire.


Given that she's a damn undead, she would probably be better served without armour or shield.

Pour all that strength into offensive destruction.

If it is going off of the Dark Souls armor in your bio. I think the helmet is a great helm, and the cuirass could be from the 15-1600s because it has the folded plates. I know there are some German examples of that. As for the sword it comes from a long history of legendary great swords that totally are not fantasy :P


The helmet would be a stechhelm, but DSIII doesn't have anything patterned off of that, whilst DSII doesn't have the rest of the set. Though on top of that, I'm pretty certain the bio points out that it's made thicker than it has any need to ever be. :p
I mean that they would be remarkably prescient to have polearms on hand with no advance warning. In the middle of a forest. At dinner.

With an ambush/lookout prepared.




Meanwhile, Tyaethe's armour corresponds to no century. Too overkill. Fantasy!
@Zebanamana

Has he accounted for the bandits potentially having bills to unseat him? Many a knight found out that being pulled from his horse and having a rondel shoved through his visor was a pretty sucky way to go.


Those would be remarkably prescient bandits...
Not necessarily. Just... I'm hoping that IC Eadwig is somewhat aware of how contrary to their situation it is to use horses xD
