He see that the hall is well prepared. The personal who did this have really made a very good job.

"Thank you, Elmix, but all is ready," Mini is replying as Maj walks up. She greets him warmly and says, "You are free to converse with old friends...you may be standing or seated at a table. It really matters not, as long as you feel comfortable. This ceremony is for you and your comrades for having helped Cumberland so much."

All right Mini, Elmix answers, but if there anything i can help you with, just ask me Wink


Then Elmix noticed new member Majestic and one of most trusted members of CM Sir Chagryn. Elmix remembers him beeing in CM almost as long as he was. They both were together in countless missions.



Elmix goes to gets himself a drink and goes to greet them both Hello Follow mountaineers! It is nice to see you both here. Just remember, do not take too much drinks before ceremony, we still will have a chance to get after.

Beemo walked into the hall shaking her head wondering why she let Mini talk her into signing up for this again. Maybe this time things will be better, she thought as she walked towards the table with the drinks. The only way to truly bear any pomp is to be relatively inebriated, well at least enough that the long speeches do not seem so long.

Indeed, everyone needed to drink lots of beer, but not so they could endure the long speeches. No. They had to drink lots of beer so they could win the drinking game!

Emrys walked into the large hall, in awe of all the preparations. He decided to watch the events so he could finally reconcile the names he'd heard with actual faces. He huddled himself in one corner to observe the festivities. Like any other recruit, he wanted to see who would be the new Commander and the new Champion. Though he didn't know a lot of people, even in his home town, he wondered if he would ever see any familiar faces.

As he hears there will be a drinking game, he remembers one of his ceremonies where the they had a dancing competition and the one or the pair who danced the best would get the first prize.

At the end the winner appeared the General, who did prepared in bar drinking and made his performance by dancing on stool for some small time which ended with is fall. The Judge awarded him with 1-st prize.

Elmix thinks this might go here too, but he better not drink too much, so gets another cup of beer for now still thinking if he need to prepare more

He notices Lady Richgrams arrived so goes and greets her.

shane arrives at the ceremony in his dress uniform, he had to have it tailored as the long trips to the border have made him thinner than before. He is stunned to see the Hall is such beauty, he gathers himself and grabs a tall mug of Ale to wet his whistle while awaiting for the ceremony to begin.

Emrys nibbled on bread and cheese while watching the new arrivals. He guessed that it probably wouldn't take long before someone gets up the podium and deliver a speech. He took a sip from his mug as his eyes wandered. He thought he saw someone from his town but wasn't sure. He wondered if medals and trophies would be awarded. It would be nice to see some real live heroes... He silently quipped before taking another drink in honor of those who have fallen in battle.

Miniphoenix wanted to give all the soldiers some time to relax and talk to each other before she began her speech. After a few hours of merrymaking, the noise of the crowd became a bit quieter, and she decided to use this to her advantage. Stepping up to the podium, she waited until some noticed she was there.

"Greetings fellow Soldiers!"

Mini saluted them.

"I always look forward to Promotion day. It's when you get to drink lots of Ale at the expense of Elmix's personal stash. Then I don't have to worry about him getting drunk for a few days" Laughing drunken

"But Promotions are important for another reason. It's when the county recognizes you and gives you its thanks for all that you've done. Without you, we may not be. Countless rogues have tried to take away our freedom, but you are the few that have stood proud and defended us and our liberties. Thank you!

I could go on and on speaking of all the great deeds you all have done. However, rather than living up to Beemo's expectations and boring you with a long-winded speech, I've decided not to torture you. Our brave soldiers deserve to be treated better.

So with that said..."

Mini unrolls a scroll.

"We have many who have done a great service and deserve a promotion. Let's thank these men and women who've stood by Cumbria...


JillyJonkers....Guardsman
Kallyana........Guardsman
Nathaniele......Guardsman
Pizzabandit.....Guardsman
Emrys...........Bowman
Majestic........Bowman
Rafay...........Billman
Beemo...........Billman
Victorious......Apprentice-at-Arms
Chagryn.........Paladin
Richgrams.......Paladin

Please give these dedicated men and women an applause."

Mini clapped.

After the cheering died down, she motioned that she wasn't yet finished.

"We have some special ranks to announce....

Shanehall16, promoted to Standard Bearer

And

Elmix, Champion of Cumbria"

As he came to greet Sir Shane, they finally had some time to talk up a bit

I am good now that i am here and soon be even better. It is great we can be here for some time, but it seems we have to go for a new adventure already.

He gives a scroll of information to Sir Shane and it was something about Carlisle.

As theyr nice Captain Mini greeted them, it was time to stop to drink, so Elmix puts his glass down and listens


As he hears further...

"I always look forward to Promotion day. It's when you get to drink lots of Ale at the expense of Elmix's personal stash. Then I don't have to worry about him getting drunk for a few days"

You are kidding, right? Shocked Very Happy

That actually did not matter, but she indeed would not have to worry about him getting drunk. There will be nothing to drink left for him after such ceremony.

As he hears all CM soldiers who have received the promotion, he do joins the applause.


He was happy to hear Sir Shane received a special promotion. He really deserved it for his hard work.

As he hears he is the next Champion of Cumbria, this makes him happy that soldiers have made such choice. He will do all he can to be able to appoint the hopes of soldiers who put theyr trust in him by voting for him.

The ceremony did not seemed to end yet and he still had a chance to get another glass (hopefully) so he goes to congratulate follow CM soldiers who have received theyr promotions.

Congadulations Elmix i am sure you will do fine in your new position. Shane appluades everyone who has been recognized for thier efforts to keep our homes safe.

We the CM are the first line of defence and in my opinion we are experts at our craft....

Keep up the good work everyone. Shane drinks a mug of ale to honour all of his comrades.

Emrys' attention shifted forward when the captain when up to the podium. He was quite a distance from her as he was seated at a far corner. He took a swig from his ale to help with the growing thirst. His eyes opened wide and he very nearly choked when he heard his name. He put the mug down and thrusted the palm of his hand against his chest to help him catch his breath. He didn't think he had been a Mountaineer long enough to have been included. But knew his superiors never made a mistake when it came to things like this. He straightened himself and proudly wore his new rank and badge. There was still work to be done.

He picked up his almost empty mug and raised it, "Congratulations to everyone. And cheers! To the Mountaineers!"
