    Default Camp and Cavalry training ground of David Clothier

    Here an innumerable amount of men and horses are constantly training and patrolling to become the most effective cavalry force in the known world. Horses are put through their paces and taught to walk, trot, canter and gallop all at the signal of the rider. The men train with lance, sword, and maces from horseback and when dismounted also. When dismounted some Knights prefer to use a poleaxe and so train with them as well. When not training or sleeping or doing some other chore the men are patrolling around the camp and along the roads.

    Inside the camp there are well laid rows of tents and in the middle there was a large tent flying the flag of David Clothier and a flag of England. It was in this tent that David pored over maps and messages and recruitment plans as well as specific training regiments that were tweaked now and again for maximum efficiency. The tent was large enough to have a large party gathered inside. Two guards were always stationed on either side of the entrance flap to deter any would be assailants.

    At the moment David was away with one thousand men loaned to him from the King to hunt down the Black Hand assassin band, however, any messages sent to the camp for David will be forwarded with all haste.

    An arrow flies through the air. It lands at the ground next to Sir David, and carries a letter; "throw away your weapons and let your allies do the same. If you do so, i shall show myself. Do not try to fool me, i have several men on watch. -A."

    Give me your word that you shall also enter unarmed and I shall disarm myself. David called out to him.

    Another arrow flies through the air. "It shall be done. Let your guards back off."

    David thinks for a moment before handing his sword to one of his guards and telling them to leave.

    I am unarmed and my guards have left. Enter so we may talk.

    Excellent. Not to my knowledge no, but I try not to involve myself in politics until our position is secured. Can you think of anyone we might need on our side?

    A few lords a least, my squire will most likely declare but he is but one man, so I think we would need a few lords or knights with a hundred men at their back to help.

    Every man is valuable and yes I am inclined to agree with you. Whilst the King does not wish to be seen as the aggressor I would agree we need more support. I am sure the King will have some plans for us so I would advise caution, at least for the moment.
