OOCA thread for teaching Raven some unarmed, but Sutekh if you or anyone else wants to join in at any point, you're more than welcome. I made the time after we met, since it would make more sense that way.
75th Day of Fall, 511 AV
Walking through town, Xalet had upon him his typical outfit depicting his place as a squire among the Syliran Knights. Covering his frame he wore his plate armor, although his helm and gauntlets were currently removed to allow him greater visibility as he carried the large wooden item across his back. It looked much like a large post of wood, simple in it's design. All across the top most of it's mast, the mid portion of it's girth, and the bottom portion of it's lower extremity was tightly bound lengths of hemp, coiled up and tied off securely. These three positions indicated the proper striking surfaces of an opponent, and thus Xalet had a proper training post.
The very bottom of his post had been sharpened into a point in order to allow ease of jamming it into the ground. With the heavy object upon his shoulder, the most dangerous point sat lifted high to the sky so as not to endanger any potential passers by. With Xalet's height, he had no worry of the object coming into contact with an innocents eye. After having some previous difficulty with wildlife in the Bronze Woods, this time Xalet made sure to equip both his sword and shield, just in case the unlikely occurred. If things went smoothly however, the squire looked forward to a typical day of training.
His Patron had mentioned that he needed to increase his muscular flexibility, even while wearing full plate, and to that end he had some goal in mind while going into his practice. Stretching and increasing flexibility, she said, were as important as building muscle and increasing strength and power. The qualities of muscle elasticity decreased the possibility of injury, and could create a more explosive attack. Xalet didn't know the technicalities behind what his Patron was speaking of, but he took her word for it. He never had reason not to trust her before. Soon enough he came upon the large main gate, prepared to exit to the north and head just into the Bronze Woods.
