Leo

Obtained a steel pickaxe from Sir Daniel Smith


Eighth mining session:
**Baron Daniel Smith He'd take the steel pickaxe in his hands and approaches some rocks that would show all the signs of containing ore. He'd soon swing the point metal pick into the rocks and begin to chip away, uncovering...
**Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens lifts his freshly acquired steel pickaxe up into the air after approaching the chunk of rock and noticing its formations. He began to slowly chip away at it with his pick and take several long, sweaty minutes just to try and expose a potential ore vein.
**Baron Daniel Smith And pulls the ore out into his pouch, tucking it away with a grin.
Baron Daniel Smith says "What did you find?"
Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens says "Iron."
**Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens pulls out that iron ore with the back end of his pick and lets it all fall to the ground. After it was all depleted he went ahead and stuffed the fallen ore into his sack, tied it up with some rope, and turned back to the Baron.

Gained 8 iron ore. Pls give me a * dad

Ninth mining session:
Baron Daniel Smith says "Let us mine before it gets too dark."
**Baron Daniel Smith He'd move onto a small rowboat and depart to the mine, taking his pickaxe and readying it in his hand.
**Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens hops aboard and takes a seat.
**Baron Daniel Smith He'd approach some nearby stone with the things that show it should be something to look for when mining. Raising his steel pickaxe he'd hack and dig into the stone, uncovering some ores that he'd pull out of the rock with his pick to clear them and gather them up in a pouch.
**Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens , after stepping out of the dingy little rowboat, stepped ashore and calmly wandered inside the cave system just behind the Baron. He turned to his right this time and soon spotted a promising find: a potential ore vein of iron!
**Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens stepped up to the cluster of rock sticking out of the cave wall and dragged a finger over the earth, carefully examining its formation and what it was made of. He nodded his head approvingly once he was satisfied with his chance and went ahead and retrieved his pickaxe.
**Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens lifted up his mining tool and began to swing away at the rock, ever-so-slowly picking away at it for what might seem like hours. After a lot of hard work, sweat, and maybe even a few tears, he finally discovered that rich ore vein, whatever it might be, and dug out the ore.
**Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens crouched down once the ore vein was depleted entirely and gathered up his ore into a sack which he tied off with some rope from his belt. "Aaand here we are.. Finally."

Obtained 8 iron ore.

Leonardo was tasked with beating the baron with a two-handed stick. What joy:
Baron Daniel Smith says "Wait. I had this idea for myself to train."
**Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens shrugs.
**Baron Daniel Smith He'd approach some tree and reach down, soon gathering a somewhat large, dull but rather thick branch. He'd turn and offer it over to leo, soon slipping out of his coat. "I will surely be taking hits in battles in the future. So I must train my body to react better to being harmed. So Take this stick and beat me with it."
Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens says "Oh."
Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens says ".. As you say, sire. I won't hit your head, but I won't hold back either, unless you ask me to do otherwise."
Baron Daniel Smith says "Very well. Go on."
**Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens takes the large branch in both his hands and clutched it tightly as he gazed at Daniel for a short amount of time. He decided this would be a pretty good way to get back at him for holding off on that equipment he promised so long ago, and decided to put all his anger out on him with that in mind. The man heaved the large branch up before bringing it down upon Daniel's left shoulder with a rough smack. Considering Leonardo's strength, it would probably hurt quite a bit.
**Baron Daniel Smith He'd flex his muscles in and hold a stance, bracing himself for the beating. He'd grunt and flinch down, leaning to the left as his shoulder is viciously smacked with the branch. But he wills himself, using his own strength to just keep standing and get used to the pain.
**Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens repeatedly lifted that branch back and swung at Daniel's shoulders, arms, sides, and thighs, and shins.. Over and over and over again. Leonardo had some additional endurance to him, so he was able to push on further than Daniel might've wanted. Even then, Leo pushed himself to the limits as well, hoping to increase his energy before he tires out with all this upperbody work.

**Baron Daniel Smith He'd shut his eyes and tense his muscles, standing stiffly as his body is beaten and bruised with the branch. He begins to pant hard, trying to keep himself standing, but leo's much higher strength would deliver harsh marks beaten into his sides. And while the branch wasn't hard and dense enough to break bones it certaintly exhausted dans will to stand. He eventually fell after leo sent many of the strikes across his body. Making him collapse back onto the grass and his limbs shake in pain
**Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens continued to further push his own endurance as he relentlessly heaved that branch down upon Daniel's now fallen body. He'd aim for his torso some more now that he could get to it easier, gradually beating and bruising him more and more. Leo eventually began to pant a bit as well, growing visibly tired now.
**Baron Daniel Smith He'd take some of the beating from the branch, soon gaining mild lacerations from the swings of the servant hitting him with his branch. He'd raise a hand up, half blocking one of the branch swings with his hand to signal him to stop while laying there, half concious.
**Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens quickly stopped upon seeing Daniel raise a hand up. He held the branch in both his hands in front of him as he gazed down at his baron. ".. Well uh.. Hopefully all that helps you in the long run."
**Baron Daniel Smith He'd grunt and slowly roll up into a seated position, bracing his forearms on his knees as he'd speak. "It shall...Just, i must retire to sleep. Help me up"
**Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens nods and tosses that branch aside to kneel down a little and grasp the baron's hand and help him back to his feet, "I'll help you to your chambers, sire."
Baron Daniel Smith says "Thank you."
**Baron Daniel Smith He'd pull up with leo's help to his feet, grabbing his jacket and putting it back over his shoulders
**Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens takes him to bed and tucks him in after giving him some warm milk and reading a bedtime story.

Hoping to earn some points in Endurance/Strength

Sparring with Daniel Smith with another mace-stick:
**Baron Daniel Smith He'd move around to the grass by the tree and dig around. He soon carefully pulls out a small branch about the size of a mace with a handle short enough to be used effectively by one hand.
**Baron Daniel Smith He'd then approach leo and hand over the stick, taking a step back afterwards and drawing his sword. He turns it to the broadside of the blade and grasps it in both hands, getting into a wider stance and preparing his defense.
Baron Daniel Smith says "Try to hit me."
**Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens nods and takes his weapon, preparing himself to attack. He made a simply lunge forward this first time around, going to whack Daniel in the left arm.
**Baron Daniel Smith He'd expect the simple attack and in turn, bring his sword out to meet and deflect the stick as it's swung at him. He does this with barely any effort but takes a small step back, regaining some distance and circling his arms back around to pull the sword into a defensive position again.
**Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens took a step back as well, "Just a warm-up." he added quickly before lunging forward again, going to make two quick strikes for Daniel's sword and then another jab for his torso. Smack-smack-smack.
**Baron Daniel Smith He'd extend his arms over to the side and bring the sword out in a quick move, a bit faster than Leo as he'd hold the blade firmly, blocking it from the two strikes and then waving it outwards very briefly before he swings it in towards the mace as it comes in for a jab, attempting ot knock it to the side as he steps back.
**Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens has literally all his blows deflected and shit because he's so shit at fighting still. He brings his mace back and takes two steps back to put some distance between them. After a few moments he lunged forward once more, going to make two strong swings at Daniel's sword this time, aiming to force him to loose a hold of his grip on that sword of his as he aims towards the base of the blade.
**Baron Daniel Smith He'd bring his sword up as leo would swing it in, the blade being tilted heavily to the side after the sudden strong swing. But the second time he'd let the sword swing around to the side, leaving him exposed but taking a step back to gain some distance before he'd suddenly swing the sword back in, attempting to knock the mace out from Leo's hand.
**Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens had his mace knocked right out of his hand as a result of Daniel's quick movements and skill with that sword. The man sighed and stepped back to pick his weapon back up before it rolled downhill.
**Baron Daniel Smith He'd nod once towards him and lowers his sword, resting his hand on the pommel as he'd speak. "You're strong. But you need to be quicker with your weapons. Some more training should help. I expect you to make good use of a weapon if I am to provide you will truesteel."
**Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens nods, "I agree entirely, sire. It's just a little difficult with how fast you're moving is all.. Hard to keep up." he said as he held his mace back out in front of him, "Let me know if you have any tips."
Baron Daniel Smith says "Yes, well always keep an eye on your enemy and their weapon."
Baron Daniel Smith says "Since you intend to use a shorter weapon and a shield it's going to be all about getting as close as you can. Using that shield to push their defenses aside and attacking."
Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens says "Aye.."


Mining with Katherine:
**Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens , after entering the cave with Katherine, began to look around for any traces of an iron deposit. He went to the right first, glanced amoung the structures and rock formations around him, and then made his way back over to the left side after having not found anything promising.
**Dame Katherine Mellinstone would remove the pickaxe from around her back, placing it into both her hands, she'd take a few laps around the cave, finding a suitable deposit. "Leo, will this do fine?" she asks.
**Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens makes his way over to the corner where he spots a set of sedimentary rock that looked good enough to mine and decided to stop in front of it. He glanced over to Katherine and tapped the rock a few times, "This is what we're looking for here, yeah."
**Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens lifted his pickaxe up and began to chip away at the rock before long, slowly mining away at it with one heavy swing after the other, "Just.. Takes some time.. Feel free to help me out."
**Dame Katherine Mellinstone nodded, she'd tap the clump of rocks a couple of times with a hand. "I'll try this then." she'd say before bringing the pickaxe over her head, sending the pickaxe down over the rock several times. "Clink clink clink*.
**Dame Katherine Mellinstone turned to Leo. "Hm, not doing very much, I'll help you with that large rock."
**Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens nods and continued to mine away at it on his side, "There's probably more over here to gather anyways." Before long, with the work of both the experienced and amateur miner, they were able to mine down enough of the rock to hopefully reveal a decent deposit of iron. He turned his pickaxe around and used the wider end to chip off the chunks of ore and let them fall to the ground.
**Dame Katherine Mellinstone turned to the rock that Leo assaulted with his pickaxe, she'd do the same, bringing the pickaxe over her head and swinging it down over the rock several times.
Dame Katherine Mellinstone says "Are we through?"
**Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens nods and was quickly able to gather up the fallen ore and stuff it all into a sack which he tied off with the rope that was his belt. "Mhm. Let's get this back to Sir Smith."
Dame Katherine Mellinstone says "Very well."
**Dame Katherine Mellinstone placed the pickaxe onto her back, leaving the mine.
**Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens puts away his pickaxe and turns to head back for the exit, dragging the ore along.

Fist-fighting with the baron:
**Baron Daniel Smith nods his head once and brings his hands out, widening his stance as he'd prepare for the sparring match with his squire.
**Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens returned the nod and tossed his own stick away. He lifted his hands up into fists out in front of him as he clenched them tightly, prepared to swing at a moment's notice. He began to fast-walk towards the baron while keeping that same determined, aggressive stance. Once in range, if able, he'd go to make a swift blow with his right hand for the man's gut. He kept his left hand up to defend his face.
**Baron Daniel Smith He'd see leo coming in with the advance, suddenly breaking into a quick lunge and attempting to grab firmly onto his upper arms, turning his body somewhat as the fist connects with his side. He grunts but pulls on Leo to keep his balance while his feet stagger. He'd then try to step a few times over to the left and shove him over to try and send him stumbling down the hill.
**Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens was tensing up hard as he really began to fight and struggle to keep his balance with the baron clutching his arms. He dug one foot into the dirt to keep himself steady against the baron's pushing while his other foot came around to prevent himself from being right in front of the man and instead at his side. He'd manage to force his right arm free, it being the furthest away from the baron now, and went to send it flying for Daniel's cheek.
**Baron Daniel Smith He'd keep his one hand planted on leo's left arm, staying with his movements and grappling onto him. As he'd send the punch towards his cheek a quick reaction would allow him to duck below it and in counter, thrust his fist out to strike him in the gut while he pushes against his shoulder. Hoping to wind him enough to knock him over the side of the hill and send him rolling down.
**Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens let out a gasp as he was struck in the gut, though it wasn't nearly enough to put this man down. He did take a step back, just slightly further down the hill, in order to regain his balance though. He was relatively quick to recover from a minor blow and ended up rushing forward once more with a large step, the retracting of his right arm, and finishing with another punch at Dan's torso.
**Baron Daniel Smith He'd try to hold leo off with his hand gripping at his arm, but he'd just manage to send a fist towards his torso, the large strength difference causing him to spin off off the grapple somewhat and fall over down the hill. After recovering his footing he'd get up and dust himself off, nodding. "Ah, good work. But we'll do some more tomorrow."

More fist-fighting:
**Baron Daniel Smith He'd wave katherine off as he'd go to take his weapons off and set them aside. "I'll need some space for this." He states, placing his sword and spear off to the side before returning and widening his stance a little. "You know how this goes. first one throw someone else to the bottom of the hill."
Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens says "Mhm."
**Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens lifts up his hands and forms them into fists in front of himself, arms blocking his torso/neck and his hands blocking his face. He began to pace towards Daniel and, once in range, went to move his right arm away to swing for his chest.
**Baron Daniel Smith He'd bring his fists up, holding them ready as leo approaches closer. And once the opening punch is thrown he'd bring his forearms to block it, steadying his stance in the ground before pushing forward and attempting to charge into leo and grapple with him by grabbing his upper shoulder with one arm.
**Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens brought his fist back after having it blocked and stumbled ever-so-slightly as he was pushed backwards. He moved back some more as he was charged into, though he was quick to put a heel in the dirt behind him to keep him from moving anymore. At that point, he went to lift his left arm up and send his elbow down harshly onto the baron's back to give him a good bruising while he still had him grappled.
[LOOC] Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens: or wherever i can
**Baron Daniel Smith He'd hold Leo back with a push, bringing his other arm out to suddenly grasp his other shoulder, getting some better control before his elbow smacks right into his back. He'dbe thrown off balance a bit but try to change the direction in which he pushed leo, attempting to shove him to the left, down the hill.
**Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens is finally pushed over after Dan had sustained multiple blows. He ends up getting shoved some few feet away before falling onto his back with a quiet groan. He was quick to get up though. "Argh.. Alright."
**Baron Daniel Smith He'd release his grip and sit back down on the hill, rubbing his back somewhat as he'd look down at him. "Done already?...We'll do some more tomorrow. I'm a bit hurt from this so I'll rest for now.
Squire Leonardo 'Leo' Dickens says "Sounds good."
