Amazing Photo

Post by MorGrendel »

So I came across this photo.

http://www.romanempire.net/romepage/ima ... s/Ouch.jpg

Looks like every othe fighting photo, right. WRONG!

Exhibit A. Dan's hand is empty, actually looks like he's reaching out for something.

Exhibit B. A reeve running into combat yelling HOLD! (look at his mouth)

Exhibit C. To the left of center, just below the Roman's bent arm, and to the right of Dan's outstreched hand you can see a face. That's right, a face of an unconscious reeve Dan has just stuck. Hey Dan remeber that time you knocked Ivar out? Good Times.

From the other reeve:
Mac: Hey, your gonna want to move.
Ivar: I'm alright, I don't want anyone going into the stickers.
Mac: Dude, your gonna get hit. Dan's got these monkey swings.
Ivar: There is no way Dan can hit meewwrrrlll...
Mac: Told ya. HOLD!

Or something to that effect.

I was working the spear and drawing the end guys shield over to me. I was opening him up for Dan. Galatians throw a wicked drunken monkey, and let's just say the reeve was on the way to the target. In Dan's defense, he did not attempt to shoot around the reeve, rather the reeve leaned in at the moment the blow was thrown.

Wasn't it kind of that reeve to put his own body between the fighters and the sticker bushes... D'oh!
