The Eve of Battle
Raghnall and I took the English Commander, William of Suffolk, for a walk around the walls. We need to remind these English that if they fire their cannons, they may hit their commander. Meanwhile, Soren dealt with that weird rat man in one of the towers (who said some people refer to him as the horseman). Our walk around the wall seemed to do the trick and ended the barrage for now.
After the barrage, our group regathered. Jehanne wasn't happy about me taking credit for heroics, but she doesn't understand that people need heroes to inspire them. Like it or not, she's becoming a hero too. She can credit God all she likes, but it's the bravery and sacrifice of men that build this world. And I will achieve my destiny to become a hero here and now!
That said, she went on to say that she wanted to attack the English and I tend to agree. We can't win this war if we only stay huddled up inside the walls waiting. If we can do something about their cannons, longbows, or food supply, we could greatly cripple their forces. To that end, Soren suggested we move two groups out of the gates in the night; Jehanne leading one and myself leading the other. Together we would encircle the English forces in the west and strike them from two sides, while their longbowmen are night-blind. At dawn we retreat back to the safety of our walls, having hopefully dealt a massive blow to the English. Jehanne frowned upon the plan, but agreed to it if she could tell the English they had better leave first. Of course they refused.
With any luck, this night will bring about a great battle. In victory, glory! And from that glory, my legend!
