As they charged the rapidly closing gate, a camel lancer hurled his spear at the gate, the blade stuck in the door, and snapped off. It is still there. They stormed the fort and captured it.

Middle picture:
Looks like an old Iver Johnson top break revolver w/pearl grips on his belt. Beautiful kit. The three in the picture below him all look like they are carrying swords,. Last edited by Rick; 19th March 2023 at 02:05 AM. |
