Re: Everwatch Training School
During her most recent trek into Nashkel, a young blonde woman overhears the rumors that relate to the next session of the training school. She ventures into the House of the Guardian, and after paying her respects to Helm, she scribes her name and affiliation upon the posted sign-up sheet.

Re: Everwatch Training School
After the last expeditionary attempt to the Cloud Peaks was thwarted by bad weather, Wai Li hopes to attempt again with those participating in the Everwatch organized Wilds Patrol (WP) in the next few days. She prays to Helm that if the expedition to Speartop does embark soon that vigilance keeps its mission successful and its members from harm.

Re: Everwatch Training School and Wilds Patrol
It is rumored that a troop of Everwatch, Phoenix Company, and other like-minded combatants mounted an expedition to Mount Speartop. Little is known of what transpired. Wai Li in particular seemed to later return to Nashkel with bite marks in her armor, amnesia as to what transpired, and a bad headache.

(( So, it's right at 02:00 GMT, and there's no one from the Everwatch IG. Is the time meant to be 14:00 GMT aka 2:00 P.M.? Because that's a bit different than 02:00.

*Rumor spreads that the recent Everwatch lead expedition to Speartop ended in failure, as an ancient white wyrm was indeed found on the peak and indeed was of such power that is annihilated the joint effort against it, many barely making it out with their lives and others not so lucky.*

Re: Everwatch Training School and Wilds Patrol
Some may have seen Everwatch and a couple of others on patrol routes to the mines near Nashkel. After a while, the group returned piecemeal.

Re: Everwatch Training School and Wilds Patrol
Those who entered the temple this afternoon, would find Desrah donning a blue shirt and pants, an apron around her waist.. either with a broom, mop, or duster in hand, depending on when they entered.. If asked, she would simply say she's giving back to those who have helped her.. keeping the conversation short ,only to return to her self appointed duties..

Re: Everwatch Training School and Wilds Patrol
A missive is sent to all Everwatch either delivered at the Temple of the Guardian in Nashkel or the Temple of the Shield in Baldur's Gate. If an Everwatch had left on patrol and left word of his or her whereabouts, a courier would find and deliver the missive in their patrol location.
Everwatch:
As the white wyrm and its dragon worshiping cult atop Mount Speartop in the Cloud Peaks still poses a grave and imminent threat to the Northern Amn region, we must be vigilant in facing it in a manner that is not again disastrous, carefully planning and training to do so.
I order all Everwatch without other duties conflicting to maximum martial readiness on two crucial dates in the next few tenday.
Mirtul the 7th (Saturday, May 7 at 16:00 GMT):
An Everwatch Training School will assemble again open to the general public and Everwatch security partners that will conduct martial training exercises beginning in the southern Greenfields near Nashkel. If available, I expect all Everwatch present to act as the superb martial leadership and conduct role models that we are.
Mirtul the 14th (Saturday, May 14 at 16:00 GMT):
Freshly drilled and trained from the school and other readiness efforts, a large and robust force will carefully ascend Mount Speartop and attempt to defeat the white wyrm and its cult for good. Eliminating this threat upon the region with vigilance.

Postings are also put up in various locations throughout Northern Amn in Beregost and Nashkel regarding the days of planned martial activity and regional security minded organizations contacted as well. (Just PM me if you think you would be told IC if I missed you IC.)

Re: Everwatch Training School and Wilds Patrol
14th of Mirtul 1352 DR - The second edition of Everwatch Training School

A small number of potential trainees showed up among which a strong representation from the Ebon Blade was present.

The Instructors Head Watchknight Wai Li and Recruit Eleanor decided to lead the ETS in the Greenfields.

Per Head Watchknight's direct order, Recruit Eleanor was to conduct the first training session. As the planned agenda stated the first part consisted of a few warming up exercises. Instructor drilled the group hard putting them through a basic routine she herself had been put through during her Squireship under Watchknight Dame Asperan.

Squats, sprinting, lifting weights weren't greeted well by some and two of the trainees dropped out of the ETS rather quickly.

The second stage of the ETC was dedicated to hand to hand combat. Captain of the Ebon Blade shared some of his experiences as a co-instructor. Trainees were divided into twos and had possibilities to fight different opponents in duels.

After hand to hand combat, the time came for a small lecture about strategy. Head watchknight Wai Li convinced Captain of the Ebon Blade to share some of his experiences from the last year's war. At the end of Merc's Captain lecture Helmite leader highlighted some of the main aspects of strategy herself.

The last part of ETS' agenda for this edition was a drill training. All of the attendees were divided into two platoons and run their respectable drills under rotating drillmasters.

Everyone had a chance to be platoon commander and run others through a drill sequence using different formation types. For example: diamond, two columns, square.

The first platoon in square formation finished their drills under Seeker's Keenan leadership.

Platoons faced one another and honors were given.

In the end words of appreciation, thanks and comments were exchanged before the Second Everwatch Training School was concluded and all trainees, instructors and guests alike were dismissed.
(((OOC: Thank you all for coming and taking part in this small player-driven initiative! We, the Everwatch, hope you had a good time

Special thanks go to TheTwiste11491, for bringing his guild and running this event cooperatively with Everwatch. You are great guys!

Re: Everwatch Training School and Wilds Patrol
Wai Li reviews Eleanor's report of the recent training and smiles to herself. She then smiles a bit wider remembering her order to Klait to run sprints after having already implausibly "run from Candlekeep". She would then pen personal thank you notes to all those that participated and pray to Helm that vigilance in security along the Trade Way may be increased from the training efforts.

Re: Everwatch Training School and Wilds Patrol
Rumor may spread that Head Watchknight Wai Li is leading an expedition now to Dragonspear Castle to explore troubling reports of activity within and without the ruins. It is said the patrol will leave from the Temple of the Shield shortly.
