Gauging the Situation

Robbie has just entered the City gates of Mendefera. He walks a little way into the city and looks around. This was by far the biggest city Robbie had ever been in. Robbie doesn't know what to do next so he stops on the side of the street and starts practicing his Martial Arts. This is almost a form of meditation for him as his body can pretty well go on auto-pilot while training.

As people walk by some stop to watch him briefly before continuing on their ways. As of right now Robbie is mostly using shadow attacks out of the Forward and Horse Stances which are basic stances. Only on brief occasions does he go into the Backward stance as the weight distribution is not ideal for multiple offensive strikes. After he was finished practicing offensive maneuvers for a while, he shifted his stance to an Angolan Capoeira Stance which has steady movement which makes one a difficult target to strike and sets one up for unpredictable strikes.

A member of The City Guard spots Robbie training. The city guard walked up to Robbie, there was a notice in his hands. As he stopped in front of the new fighter he began to read it. “Sir due to the lack of able bodied guard, we are here by recruiting every able body being to take up arms against the masses of monster stirred up by recent events. This order was given by the peacekeepers.” The guard then lowered the notice so he could look at Robbie. Reaching in to a pouch he pulled out an odd looking token, handing it towards Robbie. “This token will get you some basic armor and weapons from the armory down the road, as well as some gold coin given for enlisting in to the recruitment army. If you have any questions please ask the barrack captain. He will have more details any questions you may have.” The guard would then walk back up the street in search of more recruits.

Robbie stops training as the guard comes over to him. He then listens to what the guard has to say and is handed a token. After the guard leaves he looks at the token, "This is surely an interesting opportunity to make a name of myself. I do not need armor or weapons, but I could use some money, and it would be interesting to see what the Captain's of this guard are like. Perhaps they can teach me some of their fighting wisdom to help me out when I am on the road." After saying that aloud Robbie starts walking over towards the Barracks.
