stick war : legacy ~ a job well done (fluff) ~ miner/clubman

The battle with the Archidons had been won, and Order now had a bunch of their people with them.

A miner sat against the Order statue, exhausted from all the hard work that he and the others had put in to winning that battle. Clubmen, while far from the most advanced fighters, were still pretty expensive to train, so they had been very hard at work all throughout the battle, desperately mining so they could pay for enforcements.

One of those clubmen walked over, a small smile gracing his otherwise blank features. "You guys worked hard back there" he said, tossing a small canteen of water to the miner. "We wouldn't have been able to take down the Archidons' statue if it weren't for you guys"

"Eh" the miner waved a dismissive hand. "We just did our job" he continued, not wanting to take more credit than he'd earned. "You guys are the real heroes, takin' down their statue with no more than a club"

"We really should upgrade these" the clubman muttered, turning over his weapon in his hand. While Order didn't worship their weaponry, they still saw the practical value in having different types of weapons. And the clubmen understood that what they had was damaged goods at best.

"Our next mission is to fight the Swordwrath" the miner told him. "With the Archidons' help, we should have no issue overthrowing them, and then you can use a sword instead!" he continued. "That's close enough to your club, right?"

"I suppose..." the clubman mumbled. "I don't know how I feel about affiliating myself with one of those religious titles, though"

"It's not religious in Order" the miner corrected. "'Swordwrath' is just a fancy label for one who uses a sword. We don't even have to call you that if you don't want" he explained. "Besides, isn't the upgrade of practicality worth it?"

"Perhaps" the clubman conceded. "Nonetheless, today's victory against the Archidons was a job well done" he continued. "We should celebrate?"

"How would we go about doing that?"

"I think some bread and alcohol is in order, my friend"

"Was that a pun?"

"You decide"
