I doth impart to thee the lessons of thine long dead knights and what they taught to me of Combat with mine enemies which I hast summarised in three simple premises for thee. Mine new heirs who doth pick up thine swords for the first time in the defence for all that tis good in our fair land.
Seal Breingiton.
Combat 101
(1) DON'T Panic
Tis thy first times in combat and thou shalt be nervous. Every knight has been and tis nothing to be ashamed of. But tis a mental thing which thou must bring under thy control with discipline. A panicked knight tis a dead one, for the warrior who canst keep a cool head in the heat of battle hath already a clear advantage over one who canst not think clearly of any reaction to what 'ere may happen on the field of battle.
(2) DON'T Spam
Doth not think too far in advance of thy next action. The whims and course of thy fight mayeth change at a moments notice, and thou hadst best not be caught unable to perform the correct action at the appropriate time. Many a fair knight hath fallen whilst bashing his enemy whilst too far hurt, whilst other greater warriors come to their enemies' aid. Give thineself every opportunity to coolly deploy thy array of offense to thy enemy!
(3) 'Where' nonstop
To be successful in thy fight with the evil of the land, thou must get to know the lie of it. If thou canst see and enemy, then thou must know both how to get to him as quickly as thou might and escape from him if the battle goes poorly. Tis poigniant when hunting and fighting, but also whilst training when thine enemies who art usually stronger than thee shalt seek to bring upon thee grievous harm. Thou shalt ensure that thou shalt be vigilant at all times checking for thy foes with every few actions that thou art still as alone as thou art.
Thou art the chosen to defend the weak of our fair lands, so thou must be strong and wise. The reputation of Gareth Keep depends on thee.
