The 13th Legion Color: Dark Tan Nickname: The Pirates By far the greatest portion of the legion is composed of these heavy infantrymen. They bear the brunt of any attack! Generally termed "recruits" derogatorily by the heavy infantrymen. Their main job is scouting. They compose about a fifth of the legion. You may be wondering how on earth the Legion got such a bizarre name. Well, keep reading! Far, far underground. A sudden scuffling of feet and a power of violent exclamations. A small group of Ulandians come crashing through a hole in the cave wall. Behind them rolled a boulder that showed the reason for their haste. With a thud that made the rocks tremble, it stuck in the doorway, completely blocking it. “You little! What were you thinking!” “Yeah! I had even just mentioned booby traps!” “I’m sorry…” the recruit began to mumble. “Sorry! You’ll be a lot more sorry three days from now when we’re still stuck here without any food!” The heavy infantryman turned and started complaining loudly to his buddies, “We were going to impress everyone too! Man, we have a name to make for ourselves, and then some… some noob like this comes along and messes everything up!” His companions agreed with him heartily. Meanwhile the recruit stumbled into his friend. A few bumps and scrapes ensued, followed by a loud splash and a gurgling cry. “Water!” exclaimed one of the others, peering round him nervously, afraid to move. Everyone else froze, until someone managed to strike a light. The poor soaked recruit was promptly pulled out by the three infantrymen. “Where is the noob, anyways?” one asked. “Why isn’t he helping to fish out his buddy?” They turned and saw him, another torch in his hand, looking around him in awe. “Maybe this won’t turn out so badly after all,” he drawled. They all looked at the walls around them. “Gold. Tons of it!” muttered one. “Just what we need! I even heard the commander mention the need for funds. We’ve made our fortune, friends!” “Here, hold this,” commanded the infantryman who had been holding the first torch, handing it to the soaked recruit. “Keep it steady.” He peered closely at the gold. “It’s the real stuff all right! Gentlemen, I propose to you that we will no longer be known only as the 13th legion! We will be known as the Golden Legion! Three cheers for the golden legion!” Everyone cheered and threw their helmets into the air. Of course, since they were in a cave, the helmets clanged against the roof and then ricocheted into the water. The soaked private was deputed to fish them out, since he was already wet anyways. The rest set themselves to filling their pockets. “Now,” said one of the infantrymen, his pockets full, “if we could only find out how to get out of here!” Fifteen Hours Later: "Sir Centurion, here is a messenger from that nameless, unlucky 13th legion. He tells a rather far fetched story but insists he be brought to you." "Show him in," sighed the Centurion. The messenger ducked into the tent. With gleaming eyes he dumped his pockets out in front of the Centurion, quickly telling his story. "And there's more where this came from!" he finished. "This is excellent!" the Centurion exclaimed. "Well done, thirteenth legion! You have earned your place, if this be true!" Later that day, on the parade ground, the Centurion called a few of the men of the thirteenth legion over. "Who was it that found the gold first, you say?" Half reluctantly they pointed out 'the noob' as he was already called throughout the legion. "Excellent work, my boy," the Centurion said to him. "We will have to make you captain now!" The infantrymen's faces were a sight to behold! After all, they didn't get their pet name of "Golden Legion." Instead they were just called, "The Pirates." Another view! Comments and criticism are welcome! That rockwork... insane. Learn from my mistakes. Don't try to curve your rockwork. Thanks for checking it out! For the record, it is considerably smaller than the 32x32 max.
