>ATE<

ah! homesTEAder eh a day-afternoon shift knight, no nights

>DER<

Since I REacheD a certain age I have only worked as a part time knight



>HED<

as long as there were plenty of feEDHoles err! taverns around whilst patrolling the Squires land

>NYX<

We stand and fight with the solid strength of a battalion of sphYNXes

>XES<

A battalion is rather eXcEsSive don't you think, a couple of sphinx and one dragon would do the job quicker then we knights could slope of to the tavern
