386 Sally Forth or Die

I understand why so many children die by falling into wells. The slick, wet bricks, the lack of talons, and most tellingly a Might/Athletics/Climbing/Climbing Techniques of less than five. For me, not quite so deadly. I wouldn't want to make that climb with people firing arrows down at me, but it wasn't that bad.

Squishing around in soggy armor that you forgot to take off the night before? It raised more than a few questions, let alone the unusual looks.

It was my first experience with mixed infantry; a heavily armored spear and shield soldier, with an archer under their protection. They would remove the shield only briefly, irregularly, at the direction of the bowman (or woman).
