Most noticecable is that he has now spirited charge (beware my mounted charge!). Also has broken wing gambit teamwork feat....so with through standard action folks can have it 6 rounds (basically allies who allow +2 attack and dmg bonus to foes makes foe provoke AoO from attacking them). Or for 13 minutes through drill sergeant approach. Also has cavalry formation teamwork feat but haven't got much use for it yet. Also gained new mercy and all channeling/lay of hands healing growed. Anyways understood, 4 days until something big happens. Try make most best with time I have then to prepare.<br/></div></div><br/>Gabriel slept deeply, in morning he stretched, remembering the dream about the woman clearly and for surprise noticed many injuries what he had received past day did not hurt at all?! Taking off bandages he saw he was fully healed and also felt somehow<em>stronger</em>than before.<br/><br/><em>Did I just saw.....</em><br/><br/>Gabriel quickly dismiss a blasphemous thought to see Iomedae in field in rather provocative silk dress. Usual visions of her indicated she was in armor and sword but he wondered did he see one her messengers perhaps? As nothing was said he is not sure what all this means but he felt comforting that goddess is watching over him at least. If not hundredth percent sure of his actions but trusting on judgement of his heart he is doing her work if bit subtle orthodox manner.<br/><br/>Gabriel calls one military sergeants help him on the armor, dress his fullplate armor on and strap his shield on his back and his longsword into weaponbelt. He moves to the barracks where already traditional morning activities are going on. All recruits and regulars have been kicked off their beds, visit quickly showers, make bed and dress up on uniform and armor and join a humble porridge breakfast. Day starting in stand in line outside in drill field where soldiers practice their swordplay.<br/><br/>However altough calvary tactics had been Gabriel's field of study what he have teached for year and two in king's army but now today he says to recruits (which among Michael is and wearing a helmet); "Now we do not today torture horses with exercises and instead practice bit on counter offense! Form two teams now!" Gabriel points soldier and asks soldier say one and next two and then third says one and so forth. Once numbering has gone through he shouts; "Number ones go to left and number two's go to right! Form trio partners in each one!"<br/><br/>When soldiers formed three partners each and any spare one forms fourth in a team and he says; "Now approach your defensive lines directly towards opposite men three man line formation. Focus all attacks on central soldiers and attack quick as possible on the attackers who attack your partner! The middle man is swapped after two attacks by going right. Man in middleman's left replaces center man and man who was right from middleman goes where left man was. Idea of this practice is to learn drop down your guard provoke enemies attack you and able defend yourself while doing so, as purpose of this exercise is to teach you strike in exact moment when foe attacks your partner and when they are most vulnerable for attack." Once Gabriel shows what he means with one pair of three lined men and even show how he himself works as middle man he orders whole soldier group do this exercise which teaches one bit more unorthodox combat tactics known as broken wing gambit. Which is entirely based on deceive foes by dropping your guard and be a bait for their attacks while comrades strike enemy exact same moment the foe attacks. A kind valuable lesson that you cannot achieve results without sacrifices and without willingness to do so.<br/><hr/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">explanation</div><div class="spoiler_body">OOC: Incase if above was unclear Gabriel meant this;<br/><br/>R  R<br/>M M<br/>L  L<br/><br/>In above the team in left strikes on middle man in right team<br/><br/>R\ R<br/>M-M<br/>L/ L<br/><br/>A instant later the members in right team strike upon middleman who is attacking their middleman;<br/><br/>R\/R<br/>M-M<br/>L/\L<br/><br/>Once this attack process is done twice, the middle man changes;<br/><br/>M M<br/>L  L<br/>R  R<br/><br/>And attack pattern looks this then;<br/><br/>M\/M<br/>L- L<br/>R/\R<br/><br/>Counter attack from right team;<br/><br/>M\/M<br/>L- L<br/>R/\R<br/><br/>Now somepoint Gabriel spends one Tactician charge which then would give all soldiers for 6 rounds knowledge of the teamwork feat; broken wing gambit despite they have no regs for it. It is meant teach them the feat and know they need 5 ranks in bluff to get it. So those who would achieve 5th level or so in near future could select it as bonus feat if they have enough skill points raise bluff (or have it already). Also teach the soldiers the pattern how best use it (which is to focus opportunity attack to one nearest foe who is in reach many as possible allies, otherwise you hit whatever is nearest). Just notice the weapons in use are wooden practice weapons so no lethal injuries from this exercise :P. Just bruises and some nonlethal damage which heals over a hour or so to most.</div></div>
