After battle in Chagasu and Corniel
16 May 2008
Crip has his head in his left hand; his right hand resting on his sword. Two weeks ago, he had proudly marched sixty-seven men into Corniel. Half of them had been left to guard the region, while the other half stayed with Crip.
But now, of those that stayed with Crip, barely any remained. Half killed in Chagasu; the other half killed in the ferocity of the enemy charge in Corniel.
For a brief moment, it had been so fabulous. The chance for Crip to fight alongside his old men in Corniel. Two troops carrying the banner of The Bridge, fighting side by side, as if they'd never been separated. But then, fighting side by side had changed to dying side by side and later retreating side by side. They had fought well, he felt, but it was far too little. His own troop had been decimated, and though a few more from his old troop survived, they were in poor shape, and he suspected many of them wouldn't make it through the day.
So Crip sits, as he watches the many coloured banners of the many enemy realms through the gaps in his fingers, and wonders what has changed to cause all this. He'd not seen how they were a threat when they were all near Tucha, and the Empire had attacked in Nazia, but he understands even less the reasons for this war now.

[This is too long to put here, so I've stuck it on a separate page for Meeting with Talerium General. This involved Sir Solak Marioneaux.]
Refitting in Barad Gardor
10 June 2008
Crip: Come on, men, time to get marching! Sooner we get back to Barad Gardor, sooner you can get a decent meal, and sooner we can see Duke Willem's mighty army that we've been hearing such reports of - a strength of a thousand, they say!
Werner: Now sir? Or in ten minutes?
Crip: Now, Werner!
Werner: [pointing to the carts only half-filled with Elroth brandy] Or in ten minutes, sir?
Crip: Ah, oh, yes. In ten minutes! Be ready then!
