I'll be the first to admit though,while most of the pack of us were doing the "Im going to die with honor routine" up on the hill,and trying to look extremely noble,I was doing the "Holy hell,we just challenged an army"and nervously laughing my a$$ off routine
Arden doesnt tell that part,but I more or less expected us to be wheat toast,so I couldnt help but laugh. To explain,my household The Mountain Confederation is a bunch of dirty mercenaries.And when I say dirty,I know of which I speak,Ive seen us after 2 weeks of Pennsic.Our reputation is at best described as "trouble makers"
Normally its described as "wife swapping drunken degenerates",though I think thats a little unfair,it was more girlfriend swapping,wives were generally off limits
