Suihaden turns to reply, "Yes Milord, I have fought in the Holy Land against the Saracen but it is not the place of my birth. I follow Christ, my Lord and Savior, I know he is the son of God and died for me. I do not know this by having meet him for he died a over thousand years ago, but I believe in it by the testimony of others. So, I am afraid you cannot meet him even though he lives in heaven. Perhaps I should explain." Suihaden finds a comfortable spot on the bench and clears his throat with a drink. Then he begins. "According to the the Bible, after God created the world Adam and Eve sinned. Because of their disobedience, God could not be in fellowship with them and as a result the earth was cursed with sin and death. But God was not willing that we should all die go to Hell for punishment for our sins, so he sent his only son Jesus to earth to die for us as a blood atonement or sacrifice; then on the third day Jesus rose from the dead and was seen by many and then went back to heaven where he prepares a place for all who believe on him. That is the story of Jesus." Suihaden then returns to his food, having developed a ravenous appetite.

Seeing that he was addressed, Suihaden approached Isen's chair, saluted and spoke. "Greetings most gracious Sire, My name is Suihaden, I am a noviate in the Order of the Knights of Saint John, known as the Knights Hospitaller. I have come to to offer my services in this quest against the Jovians, I have little ability in woodcraft but I speak Latin in some small measure and thought it might be of use. I owe this heraldry to my good teacher Sir Christian De'gries of Atheneu."

(OOC) I have permission from Milord Isen to participate. (IC) As the others entered and spoke, yet another figure entered. He was of medium hight but with a thin build. He was clothed in black with an eight pointed white cross sewn on the chest and shoulders under which hung a light shirt of mail. His face was frank and good tempered but betrayed his youth. Over his back hung a kite shield with the same design as his tabbard, on his leathern belt hung a sword and in his belt carefully folded was one of the notices. He looked about the room and seeing that all were busy, stood respectfully to the side to await the attention of his betters.

With one quick movement Sui whipped out his dagger and severed the ropes that bound Nichtmar. Placing it in Nichtmar's huge hand he shouted. "There aren't any others, I sprained my ankle and I can't run."

Suihaden had never run so fast. His heart was pounding against his chest and sweat trickled down his forehead. In his haste he did not see a protruding root and went flying down on his face. A moment later he was up, but a sharp pain in his ankle stoped him.
“Curst be the tree that grew ye!” Sui shouted in frustration.
He looked around him; he cannot hope to beat the Barbarians to Mittelmarch now, not on a sprained ankle.
“What should I do now?” he mused. His sling gives him an idea. “I’ll cause a diversion and draw them off the path so Nichtmar or Firoth can escape.”
Suihaden hoped into the woods on the side of the road and places a stone in his sling. Soon the sound of tramping reached him.
“This better work.” Sui thought.
When the Vikings reached the path in front of him, he swung his sling and sent a stone flying in to the helmet of a tall Jarl next to Nichtmar. It hit with a sharp Pang! Sui smiled grimly, he may not be able to kill any; but by St. John, they would know they had been in a fight!

(OOC) I have permission from Haldour to participate (IC) Suihaden sauntered down the path, enjoying the sun in the trees. It was a fine day for a walk and maybe, if he was lucky, he would meet Nichtmar and Firoth on their way back from their quest. Little did he know how close they were.
As he neared a bend in the path he heard a tramp of many feet, he stopped, puzzled.
"Who could that be? There aren't any patrols out right now, no armies unless it is the Jovians; I better duck in to those woods and see who is comming."
Quickly he reversed his black cloak to green and threw himself down behind a tree root, then waited. The tramping grew louder, then the cause rounded the bend. What he saw almost made him gasp. A band of Vikings marched four abreast down the path and between them bound with heavy ropes were Nichtmar and Firoth.
"Ive got to get back to Mittelmarch and get help." Sui thought.
Then as fast as he could he ran through the woods towards the town, hoping the barbarians would not see him.

Seeing Kotaro would be cautious, Suihaden attacked carefully returning quickly to guard position after each blow. The fight would go to the one who made the least mistakes.

"Thanks Kotaro, Maybe I'll try some spear training later." Suihaden replied as he and Kotaro took a swig of water from their respective containers. "Thanks Baethor, I'll keep those tips in mind."

This time the fight lasted much longer, and finally terminated with Kotaro the victor. Taking a rest from training, Suihaden asked "Who are the Jovians? And why are they attacking us?"

Shaking his head in disbelief Suihaden grabbed his sword and faced off again. "You ninjas are unbelievable, I need to train more. On Guard!" This time Suihaden stayed on the defensive, blocking the showered blows and dodging Kotaro's quick and speedy moves by using his agility as well.

Kotaro's sword slammed down on Suihaden's arm. Being made of wood, it numbed it from the shoulder to the fingers. With a yell of rage and pain Suihaden brought his shield down on Kotaro's head with all his force knocking him flat. His head swimming with spasms of pain from his arm, Suihaden sank to the ground. After a few moments his head cleared and he asked Kotaro, "Are you alright?"

Remembering the second rule of defense Suihaden simply removed himself from the field of attack, and aimed a blow at Kotaro's back.

Suihaden made a surprise swipe at Kotaro's legs, hoping to score a hit. As the others watched, there was a flurry of activity, which ended with Sui on his back counting clouds. Slowly he climbed back up and told Kotaro, "let's try that again."

Suihaden souted his war cry "Cadarn Calon!" and sprang forward, trying to smother Kotaro's swords and strike himwith his. Kotaro, merely blocked and dodged around him. The two exchanged countless blows, Suihaden's lack of experince beginning to tell.

Touching his sword to one of Kotaro's, Suihaden replied, "certainly, ON GUARD!"

Seeing Kotaro stand up and apprroach the ogre and the dwarf, Suihaden spang to his feet demonstrating agility that among men only the inhabitants of wales posses. Following Kotaro the two approach the resing sparrers.

(OOC) I hope no one minds me getting started in RP
(IC) One of the latest recruits, a Welshman by the name of Suihaden sits in the grass watching the sparring of the veterans. He is astonished at their skillful moves. "Where have I been all my life!" he thought comparing his crude fighting methods he learned in Rys to the fine methods of the tried warriors of Mittelmarch. "Watch and learn." his mind advises him and Suihaden relaxes, taking in the wisdom of the elders.

After a long days training, Suihaden approches the Silver Moon Inn. He would rather have gone to bed in the Dormitory, but that stone building was freezing this time of year and he wanted a warm place to sit and think about where to build his farm. As he opened the door a blast of warm air and noise meet him. Quickly and silently he slipped into a dark corner by the fireplace where none would notice him and sat down on a stool his back resting against the wall. He pulled a map from his cloak and pondered over it

Suihaden was kidnapped in a Welsh border foray and raised as a welsh peasant. His great uncle Conrade de Percy had sworn an oath that one of his family members would always be a knight Hospitaller. When Suihaden's cousin became Lord of March, there were no other known heirs in the line; not wishing to leave his fief, henry caused a search to be made for his lost cousin, Alan de Percy. Suihaden was found to be Alan, and was sent to Acre to become a Hospitaller. There he met the ancient but still hale knight: Greybeard.
