Sample Roleplay:
"How many are they?" Brandeles placed his hands on the table, looking at the map while his ranger look on. "Possibly forty of them, or more..." the ranger responds as Brandeles look at his lieutenants with his serious look at and look back to his map again, then sighs deeply, "Our number is quite too few, but we will strike them in their camp from the woods. I want our men placed here, here and here." Brandeles presses his finger at the locations on the map as the ranger look at it, and nods.
"We will strike them after sundown, and ask our men to wait for my signal to attack. Now go." the rangers nodded and leave the tent immediately while Brandeles follow him from behind, exits from the tent. The rangers' camp were rather small but undetected by the bandits, hooded rangers were walking around in the camp with their bow in their hands and sword sheathed beside their waist. Brandeles is tasked to assault the bandit camp with his rangers, the bandits cause too much trouble for the village nearby and it's time for the rangers to act, to get rid of the bandits, either kill or capture.
"Captain!" a young ranger apprentice comes to Brandeles from behind, with haste and anxious look on his face. "What is it, ranger?" Brandeles knows that this ranger must have something important to report to him, "A group of mounted knights coming this way, and it was.... Prince Arthur who lead them." Brandeles was not really surprise but curious, what would a future king and his knights come to his encampment? Perhaps assist him in this assault? The heavens must be bless his hope of aid.
"Then we shall welcome him with open arms," Brandeles pats on the ranger's shoulder with his smile. The ranger captain pulls his hood on and ready his bow, arrows and sword sheathed besides him. He signals few of his hooded rangers follow him to the camp entrance, wait for the prince and his knights to come.
