View Full Version : The New Writer's Guild of Pawngame

Ruled by an iron hand of the late tyrant, the dark side of Eiliosdraye, the Writers Guild assumed a quick rule over the General Discussion. Unfortunately, what goes up, must go down. It was quickly bombed by inactivity, and the cofounder dying, Pawn's Hammer - it's greatest project, dying with it. Soon, the guild became a dying dream, leeching the last amount of intelligence out of the slowly dying forum, taking the last hope it has and channelling it into one place, one all-powerful, well loved place. The Writer's Guild falling seriously injured pawngame. E-crime was all high, and riddled with guilt, Eiliosdraye committed a murder suicide. Fresh out of the hospital from a strike from a police officer by the Ban-Hammer, Eiliosdraye recovered, and vowed to recreate his guild.

The Writer's Guild of Pawngame
Founded 2009, by Eiliosdraye
Hello, my name is Eiliosdraye. I am Pawngame's one and only Linux fanatic, original founder of the Writer's Guild, and resident pseudo-troll. It is my honour to present to you, the New Writer's Guild of Pawngame.
With enough attention, and your persistence, we might make this into a thriving usergroup, writing stories, guides, anything to keep the forum active, all using our intellect. In the mean time, we are a rag-tag group of high posters, low posters, any poster who is willing to take Pawngame to it's former glory, the 2007 days, when we all had shining examples to guide us into the legends we are inevitably going to become. The same shining examples that guided me to bring Pawngame to it's new generation.
How to get in? Simple, you must pass the test. The theme is "Dimension XI14", which is a universe setting, which involves using a universe created in another Guildmate's story. Of course, Dimension Xi14 is not out yet, so you will need to learn the basics. Alternatively, you may use a Romance theme.
Your next post will explain it all, it will be done by my young apprentice, FartingHippo.
Once you past the test, you are immediately called a Guildmate, and are free to join the Writer's Guild group. We will chat in there, discuss writing, and discuss guides that need to be written, be it a PG guide, a PT guide, a tech guide, or simply a thread you want stickied.
We only have 5 simple rules.
Do not be stupid.
Do not release your work without pre-reading. Also, Rule 4 is not a real rule, it is just there to make Twilight haters annoyed. This will be in the application. Look at rule 3.
Do not consider joining without absolute knowledge you will pass. If you are doubtful, you can the answer is rule 7 try, but don't expect anything. If you know you will succeed, you WILL succeed.
Do not diss Twilight. This is our most important rule.
Do not hate on other Guildmates. They are your friends.
From the start, you are a rookie, a lackey in Guildmate terms, if you did not get above 80% to pass to fresh blood. A lackey must make careful use of his talents, as he must get above 50% to pass(anything above 30% warrants a retry), and from there, it is up to him to do jobs for other Guildmates. For example, if a fresh blood wants you to do a report on say, Ubuntu 9.10 release, you should do it, because if a higher rank who issued you a job says you did it well, you are promoted instantly.
From fresh blood you go up to unsung bard, and from there you earn your freedom. An unsung bard only takes orders from me. Finally, you can become a master writer, and you can order fresh bloods around if you need a job done at the top quality. A hand is the utmost of power you can be promoted to you, if your writing is amazing, you are a hand, and have the ability to post a "sponsored story", which will be posted in the main thread, giving you free advertising.
To join, here is your application.

The Dimension XI14 universe cheatsheet will give you a basic howto on how to write your application(story). I expect it to be at least 30 lines(use preview).

Hello! I am FartingHippo, an alternate username of Eiliosdraye, and a hand of the Guild. It's my honor to present to you the cheatsheet, the thing that tells you everything about Dimension XI14.
In Dimension XI14, everything is ruled by the Caltraps, a bunch of all-powerful beings, they enslave humans and use them as slave labourers, they are master aimers, but very, very stupid. Even though they can fly, and can snipe you with a rock, they are extremely stupid, and survive off brute force. A basta(c)rd race, the Goblins, are cross-breeds from humans and Caltraps. They are all mute, and rely on the hand signals they use. Due to this, they are useless in the dark, and are easily ambushed. However, they are as strong as Caltraps, and as smart as humans. Their numbers are few, but they are a threat to Caltraps. The Imperials, an army of all powerful humans who are very stern defend their self from the Caltraps with crossbows and other weapons, and can fight them toe-to-toe due to their armour, but they are afraid of the Caltraps, as their armour has a weak point in the back, so they can only defend, any offence whatsoever will end up in death. Finally, the Empire, an army of technologically advanced warriors, armed with Steam Guns(guns powered by steam) are trying to get the Imperial guns, they are like the Illuminati, the Imperial oracles knew guns would destroy the world.
Finally, the rebels, a bunch of the remnants of the once great Sylvan Nation, highly mobile soldiers, are trying to kill the Goblins, who they believe are evil. In the middle of it all is the demigod Neal, owning an army he calls the "Knights of Less", a joke on how all of the armies are massive in comparison to them. He wants to take over the world, and is stopped by the reclusive Wizards of Lazhi. Neal can be taken down by the wizards, who are all-powerful, but extremely weak against projectiles, which can pierce through their shields. All of them are against Neal, who is the antagonist, the Caltraps are merely bandits, the Goblins are more or less shamanistic tribes, very scattered, the Empire is like England, very powerful, but closed in, the Imperials are like the French, large army, but not as advanced, the rebels are like the Apache warriors, they are stealthy and quick, and the Wizards are more or less scholars who have the most powerful weapon in the dimension.
Next up, Mana, a particle wizards learn to use, and Neal just born knowing how to abuse it, due to this, he has no wisdom on safe usage, and as such does not fear for his safety, making him VERY powerful(wizards are taught how to avoid collateral damage), and acting on instinct instead of training, he found out how to make his knights immune to his magical blasts, which is why he can take out the Wizards(Neal uses fire primarily, the metal is fireproof). Mana can be compressed to "coat" an object in whatever charge it is used(it can be charged with anything the user can do) and it will bind to the object, so you can compress it around a sword to make it catch fire when you flex it(thinking the thought used during creation, usually a word).
Go nuts, we have no characters EXCEPT Neal. Make it up as you go along.

Sounds interesting. So you guys (and girls?) are going to write fiction based on the universe that you just created in that post? If so, it looks like it has much potential. Will the best posts be public? I look forward to reading these.

Yes Freezer, but every month we change the application theme. We also write guides for sections that need them(and PT), and generally help everybody out. The idea is that if we keep writing things, people will keep active because they want to wait for what comes next in their favourite series, or if they want a new clan guide, or other similar things.

Hey, Timeline here.
What experience do you have?: I have written several short stories described by teachers and colleagues as elegant, and well written. I have submitted my works in writing contests, but unfortunately, I have not won one yet. Also, I wrote a speech regarding the stock market game for a bunch of rich people in their 50's, they were blown away.
Why do you want to join the Writer's Guild? I believe that this could be a fun and useful group for I and other users to hone our writing skills, as well as get some experience with leadership, and responsibility.
Are you aware being kicked out for breaking the rules, or failing one of the questions(very hard to do) can result in being barred for the group completely?: That seems fair to me, so yes, I am completely aware.
What is the most important rule?: Rule number one, don't be stupid.. this not only applies to this group, but to life.

Yes, higher ranks can boss around the lower ranks, as well as higher ranks get more "perks" in the guild, such as getting their stories linked on the first post, and I will give them little things I want done but are to lazy to do.
EDIT: Timeline is accepted with pardon, his application was amazing, so i'll overlook his error, but the "with pardon" means you need to get above 60%, and get above 50% to be given a reapply. Fresh blood is still the same.

My pseudo-entry
"Ready!" shouted the captain as I pulled back on my bow-string, ready to fire.
"Aim!" he shouted again, and I did as commanded.
"FIRE!!" He screamed now, and the damned Caltraps heard us. I laughed as our arrows pierced their ranks, watched as they screamed in misery, watched as they were punished for their crimes against nature. They would pay for taking our home from us, they would pay dearly.
This thought emboldened me, as I drew my long sword, and jumped from the tree I was hiding in. The Caltrap screamed in a subtle mix of hatred, agony, and pure stupidity, and charged me. Stupid beast. I held my sword at neck point, and charged. Little sucker thought I was challenging it, or at least until my throat pierced it's neck, and it's lifeblood splattered on the floor. I looked at it's eyes and said, simply, "You are dead,". It looked back at me, honoured to lose to a more skilled opponent, then died.
"Siris! Stop with the small fry, we have a Major coming at you! Oh, and duck!" my captain said, I did as told, and a rock missed my head by an inch. I let out an Elven war-cry, and charged the Major. It's green skin seemed to ripple with it's enraged bellow, and it charged, holding a makeshift club made out of a stump and a sharp piece of metal. It swung at me, I nimbly dodged and thrusted a knife into it's leg. It's two times my size and going down. It laughed off the pain, and swung at an odd angle, very slowly, but obviously with great force. I jumped over, and tripped it as it was stepping towards me for a headbutt. It fell on the ground where Tes jumped it, and stabbed it with knives.
"This could take awhile, cover me!" shouted Tessil, I agreed.
Soon, the Caltraps, seeing their leader down were enraged, and decided it was a good time to take me and Tes out. I pulled out my shortbow, and felt the wood. So good, I missed the forests, but a voice snapped me back to the unpleasant truth, that it was gone, and I needed to protect Tessil. More Caltraps jumped out, and then the problem escalated. They outnumbered us 4 to 1, and we were surrounded. Now it was a fair fight, and that was not in our favour.
The Caltraps threw rocks around me in a circular motion, and I screamed for Tes to duck. Several Caltraps were hit by their own teammates, causing them to charge enraged. I sighed, and laughed aloud at the stupidity of these things, pinched some Terri Powder, and threw it at the ground. Smoke filled the air immediately, our eyes were trained to deal with it, and I quickly snapped about 3 necks, left my other knife in a Caltrap's throat, and only one was there, and the smoke was clearing. It grinned in that evil grin only a demonic being can do, and swung at me.
That was no Caltrap. Suddenly, I realized why this one's stomps were too quiet, too planned. This was a goblin. I quickly adapted my tactics, planning to use it's stupidity against it was no good, I feinted with my dagger, then slapped it with my sword. Enraged, it charged at me, and made it's first mistake. Never close the distance with an elf. I threw some powder in it's face, temporarily blinding it as the smoke filled it's body, and shoved the rest in it's mouth. Goblin's skin is too tough for these wimpy swords, I thought to myself, as the Goblin's stomach acid mixed with the smoke chemically and burned a hole through it's wind pipe and head. It couldn't breathe, and eventually fell over. By then, the Caltraps were gone, scared that their leader was out. It was a minor victory, but for a new recruit it was damn impressive. If I didn't get a medal of intelligence for this, I don't know what I would get.

It's a little short, but here is my entry. It's more lines in a standard twelve font word processor. I like it :]
_____
I fumbled around me 5x9 cell, sparsely furnished with the gnawed bones of those who didn't survive, trying to find my one true possession of worth. The very item that had truly gotten me imprisoned in this death box, a diamond. But this is no ordinary diamond, it's the only diamond.
Many years ago the Caltraps discovered that using diamonds as a source of energy could bring them to power, and they were certainly correct. Every year for hundreds of years a diamond ring was placed in the central power cell, that gave power to all of their weapons, and machinery. And after so many years of this behavior, diamonds became rare and even more valuable.
My brethren have been forced for centuries to work as slaves searching for diamonds to power our own oppressors, and I did not need to think when I saw that glimmering speck of hope juxtaposed greatly with the blackness of the mine, I just acted. I quickly checked around for Caltraps, then took my pickax and cleared away the debris surrounding it as fast as I could. I swallowed the diamond and stole a piece of gold from another slave, just then, the lunch bell rang and the new shift shuffled in. I quickly made my way towards the exit and walked through the mineral detector, which rewarded me with a loud beeping noise. I was swiftly knocked over the head with an electric mace.
When I woke up, I found myself sitting in this little box, with the piece of gold confiscated from my left cargo pocket, but my organs and digestive tract safely intact.. this is Dimension XI14.
Here is my entry:
With a well placed barrage of arrow, the front lines of the Wizard army collapse, and chaos runs through their ranks. They quickly break file and begin running around, aiming at targets that are not there, and slowly getting picked off in remorseless fashion. Watching the horrors being unleashed on his enemy, Neal breaks off into a long and thunderous laugh that can be heard even though all the horrific screams of the maimed soldiers of the Wizard army. Although outnumbered 12 to 1, the Knights of Less have rained hell on the Wizards of Lazhi, completely overwhelming their inferior defenses and all but annihilating them from their homeland in Northern Begnion.
The land being fought for seems worthless to most, but Neal knows that if he can take it, he will have a open route to the Caltraps, where he can begin a guerrilla war and perhaps continue on his conquest of the Globe. All seems to be going well, until Rhys was at his side, giving him the latest report. "Sir, we have received news that the Grand Wizard has dispatched the Royal Alchemist Guard. I suggest a full retreat if we are to have any hopes of fighting on in the near future."
Neal was not happy about retreating, and his facial expression showed it. No one dared go near him when he was in this state of rage, for fear of getting decimated with a swift sword strike. The only person who he wouldn't raise his weapon to was Erika, the one who had always been a friend to him. As she began to tell him that retreat was the smart move here, he shook his head in disagreement. "If we retreat every time the Guard is sent after us, we'll never gain any ground. It would be best to crush them now and have a clear road to the Capital." But even he knew that to take on the Guard, he would need the wisdom of his tactician and possibly his only other friend on this godforsaken hunk of rock, Zigrun. The march towards their hideout in the Ulreich Mountains would fill him with dread for what lay ahead.

I liked this. 87%. The only problem is that the Wizards are in the east, but how could you possibly know it? There was very little conflict in this, which is why it got such a low rating, but fresh blood is at the very least what you deserve, it gives you an instant insight on the layout of the land, the knights, and the way Neal operates, plus giving some back story.

Pretty good, but the Caltraps are too stupid to use electricity, and the Dimension XI14 part was pointless, none of them know it, it's just the name of the universe. 80% because it's kind of boring, and inaccurate. Try reading over the source guide, if it's universe based(there's genre based and universe based always), you should read the universe backstory. Universe based always gets you a healthy 5% bonus.

I intend to take advantage of this in writing the new map making guide.

Here's a story I just feel like writing.
Bullets whizzing like rockets by my ears, the deafening screams of dying soldiers in pain and agony. The gunners in the stone towers scale us away as my Captain commands orders
"Everyone!, keeps your damn heads down!, and don't fire one damn bullet!"
Just as he says this, the crisp air gets pierced, a metal bullet, passes right by my ear, tearing off strands of hair.
Reinforcements pile the cluttered beach head as dead bodies cover the ground. A dying soldier crawls his way over to me, screaming. I ask, "What do you need!" Just as I say that, he gets ripped apart by bullets passing through his insides and killing dozens behind.
I dive into a trench with my BAR strapped around my back. Four more troops pile behind me, screaming for mercy. Two get shot, one being my Captain, Captain Smith.
I call for a medic, nothing. I hear my voice getting droned from the sounds of battle; Gunshots, dying soldiers, bombings, grenades, everything you could image, happening around me.
I take cover behind a stone barricade and wait for what seemed like a lifetime.
Then, it's silent. The warm ocean mist, washing over soldiers, drenched in sweat. All I could hear his Germans, calling out orders from right above me.
I look up, I'm in a German trench, with a Nazi uniform.
I'm on a cliff, with a radio on my back, what is going on?
I turn my head, to see American soldiers, tortured, belongings being snatched away and thrown at the ground.
I can't bear it. I go up to the German, grab his pistol, and pierce his gut, with a bullet.
I suddenly go back to the stone barricade, but, I'm looking down at my body from 100's of feet in the air, and rising.

Accepted, make a story using the topic(Romance or XI14 universe, the latter is more fun)
So make a story about love? Like that Romance? Mmk.
Mark and Julie, once lovers, now just friends, have been having conversations on every chat possible over the internet.
They tell eachother they still have feelings for one another but can't get back together for one reason. Their parents. Five years ago, Mark's father was caught in Julie's house sexually assaulting her little sister. This outraged Julie's parents.
One time while Mark and Julie were on a chat, Julie decided to take a shower. She left the chat open with all her messeges and door open. Julie's parent's decided to see what she and Mark were talking about. They scroll up in the chat a bit and are starstruck at what they see.
They turn of the monitor and walk out of the room. Julie comes out a couple minutes later and finds the computer off. She asks her mother, "Why did you turn the computer off?"
Her mother says, "I know what you've been talking about, and I don't like it, who is this boy anyway?"
Julie hesitates, and blurts out a random name. She says Joseph. Not realizing that was Mark's dads name, she runs. Her mother screaming at her, stomps her way over to Mark's house and confronts his parents. They have no clue what Julie's mother is talking about. Mark's mother is now thinking she is making all of this up to get Mark's father in more trouble.
An hour later, Julie goes back up to her room and turns on the computer, opens up the chat, and finds Mark offline. She tries to call him, nothing. She walks over to his house, rings the doorbell, nothing. A ladder is rested on the side of Mark's room window and she takes advantage of that.
She climbs into his room, looking around. His computer his off aswell. She is still looking, until she smells a fowl smell. She peers under the bed with a flashlight, slowly, as she shines the flashlight, a pale face comes into view.
Mark.
She tugs him out from under the bed and tries CPR. Nothing.
She tries for a pulse. Nothing.
She hears someone coming up the stairs and a dripping sound. She turns Mark over to see a huge gash into his back.
The door opens, a blade in hand, blood dripping, Julie's mother.
A blood curdling scream takes over the room. Julie jumps out the window, lands in a pile of rocks, and dies immediately. Her mother dumbfounded, just stands there, realizing she has murdered a teenager and has made her daughter commit suicide.

Also, still lolling at INAN's guide. It's been 3 days, all of you denied guys can reapply.
I'm gonna make Neal the protagonist....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ready!"
"Aim!"
"FIRE!", I screamed as loud as my lungs would allow. At that very instance the Lesser Knights let their arrows fly. Watching the arrows rain down on the wizards reminded me of the vigorous training I was put through. Those damn wizards are getting what they deserve. As I came back to reality I soon noticed that the knights were starting to fall. Oblivious to them, the wizards had set a magnetism spell on the ground near their feet.
"Is that all you've got you god forsaken magic users?!", I shouted to the wizards as I lifted the magnetism spell. Soon, they would be the ones falling the ground after I've ripped each and everyone of their puny little heads off.
"Get ready to charge! Draw your swords!", I demanded of the knights. "On the count of 3. 1! 2! 3! CHARGE!" As soon as the word 'charge' exited my lips the Lesser Knights all moved in unison. When they reached the wizards I couldn't help but laugh. The almighty wizards being defeated by a bunch of peasants. Oh the irony of it all.
As the last wizard was struck down I looked around, soon realizing where we were, the king's courtyard.
I looked up into the castle and shouted 3 words, "Its your turn!" I looked around, saw nothing in sight, and walked inside with the knights. They king is going to pay.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
To tired to write more at the moment. If you want me to write something else, I'll do it later.

You got Neal's mindset done really well. Neal is actually one of the antagonists in Havock(which means you get to fight him! YAY!), since it uses the same story, and the idea was he was kicked out of the Wizard's guild because he was too cocky, which caused him to get uber pissed and train a couple of peasants in using basic magic, trained them to fight well, and called them the Knights of Less, and since he has more magical power then all of the wizards combined, he thought he was a god, and is trying to take over the world.

YAY!), since it uses the same story, and the idea was he was kicked out of the Wizard's guild because he was too cocky, which caused him to get uber pissed and train a couple of peasants in using basic magic, trained them to fight well, and called them the Knights of Less, and since he has more magical power then all of the wizards combined, he thought he was a god, and is trying to take over the world.

Eiliosdraye

Attention guildmates: Now accepting applications for Havock's Writers.
Similiar to DimensionXI14(using the same universe), I want you to make a hilarious script, using the character (Player). Here's an example.
Player: Hello! Nice house you have here!
Bandit: Get lost, kid.
Player: That's not very nice at all!
Bandit: I told you, GET LOST.
Player: Why so serious?
Bandit: What the hell?
Player: Sorry, I just had an urge to say that.
Bandit: Are you possessed?
Player: You know, I think I may be.
The obvious joke here is that the player is being played by somebody else, and the "are you possessed" line breaks the fourth wall in a humorous way.
If you don't like writing dialogue, you can write stories, too. Keep in mind ,you cannot write ANY of the dialogue for your characters, so it would be like
You are in a fortress, and see a hydra running up to you. Boss fight ensues. After this, a crazy woman runs up to you, and says something along the lines of "Why did you kill my hydra?" Dialogue ensues, and you are taken to part of the sewers. From here, blablabla
You can only suggest dialogue, because the dialogue writers have to be hilarious, you have to make the actual plot.

Just finished my short story. Here it is:
The Littlest Caltrap
Once upon a time there was a little Caltrap named Jojo. This little baby Caltrap was not where he was supposed to be. This was because he was kidnapped by the Knights of Less at birth. This made the littlest Caltrap very sad. Jojo spent most of his young childhood in a dungeon or trying to communicate with Knights. After about 3 years the Knights were successful in teaching Jojo basic writing. Jojo wrote to them that he wasn’t happy where he was and that he wanted to be free. This made the Knights very puzzled on how to deal with this Caltrap, so they called on the assistance of Neal. Neal was the leader of the Knights and was a very scary man.
“All mighty Neal!” exclaimed the knight in blue armor, “we call upon you for assistance!”
“And what assistance may this be?” Neal asked.
“This young Caltrap is not happy here and he wants to be free.” The knight explained, “What ever shall we do with him?”
“He is no use to us, we know all that we need to know. Kill him before he becomes too powerful.”
“Kill him?!” The Knight shouted “We can’t just let him go?”
“We don’t need another one of those out in the battlefield later, dispose of him now.”
“I understand” said the Knight solemnly.
Jojo heard this but did not fully understand, but he clearly got the message when the Knight with black armor began to walk toward him with a large axe. The knight walked into the dungeon and saw Jojo in the corner. He picked little Jojo up by his left foot and chuckled sadistically. He dropped him and raised his axe high, then struck down in a chopping motion, Jojo jumped out of the way and the axe bounced off the hard floor and the other end stabbed the knight right through the eye hole in his helmet. Jojo fled the dungeon as fast as he could. He ran up the stairs to the ground floor of the castle. There were several knights conversing by the front door, Jojo had to think of a way to get passed them. Jojo noticed that on the wall across from him there were several sets of weapons hung up. He walked quietly over to the wall and pulled down a bow and plenty of arrows. The first shot was going to have to be a distraction because none of the knights were facing him and the only place he could kill them is by shooting directly through one of the eye holes. So with amazing accuracy he shot the chain holding the chandelier above them causing it to crash down right in between them. The knights were shocked; the first one to turn towards Jojo was shot in the eye immediately. One by one the little Caltrap killed with ease until the door was clear. He made his way out the castle and lowered the bridge to cross the moat. When Neal looked out the window to see this, he was not pleased. Neal called all of the archers to eliminate Jojo. Just as Jojo had just made it across the bridge he turned around to see hundreds of archers aiming at him. The first archer fired an arrow directly at Jojo, Jojo caught it and threw it back and pierced the archer’s throat. The archer spewed blood out of his mouth and fell to the ground twitching. The rest of the archers fired at him, Jojo seeing a wall of arrows flying at him jumped behind a tree. He came out from behind the tree and the archers began reloading. Taking advantage of this time Jojo took out as many as he could with his bow and arrow, but he barely made a dent in the hundreds of archers standing before him. He had to come up with an idea and had to do it fast. Could he run away quickly enough? No, if he tried he would be shot in the back. There was only one tree in sight and it was the one he was hiding behind. So he did the most logical thing, climb it from the back. He stayed up there until they sent out a soldier in armor to go behind the tree and kill him. The soldier looked behind the tree and Jojo jumped onto his shoulders and drove an arrow through his skull through his eye hole. Jojo covered himself with pieces of the soldier’s armor and ran off. He ran until he got to a village. Now that he was able to write he was able to ask about the whereabouts of the Caltraps. Once he got the information he needed he ran to them as fast as he could. Once he got there he told them the location of the Knights of Less and they were eliminated.
The End
Edit: lol, it looked a lot longer on MS Word.

WTF? The Knights of Less aren't hard to find, they live in a enormous castle. Also, three Knights of Less can cause an earthquake, and the archers employed by them will scare the Caltraps off. I like the action in this, but you didn't really think about the fact that Neal has god-like powers.

"Ready!" shouted the captain as I pulled back on my bow-string, ready to fire.
"Aim!" he shouted again, and I did as commanded.
"FIRE!!" He screamed now, and the damned Caltraps heard us. I laughed as our arrows pierced their ranks, watched as they screamed in misery, watched as they were punished for their crimes against nature. They would pay for taking our home from us, they would pay dearly.
This thought emboldened me, as I drew my long sword, and jumped from the tree I was hiding in. The Caltrap screamed in a subtle mix of hatred, agony, and pure stupidity, and charged me. Stupid beast. I held my sword at neck point, and charged. Little sucker thought I was challenging it, or at least until my throat pierced it's neck, and it's lifeblood splattered on the floor. I looked at it's eyes and said, simply, "You are dead,". It looked back at me, honoured to lose to a more skilled opponent, then died.
"Siris! Stop with the small fry, we have a Major coming at you! Oh, and duck!" my captain said, I did as told, and a rock missed my head by an inch. I let out an Elven war-cry, and charged the Major. It's green skin seemed to ripple with it's enraged bellow, and it charged, holding a makeshift club made out of a stump and a sharp piece of metal. It swung at me, I nimbly dodged and thrusted a knife into it's leg. It's two times my size and going down. It laughed off the pain, and swung at an odd angle, very slowly, but obviously with great force. I jumped over, and tripped it as it was stepping towards me for a headbutt. It fell on the ground where Tes jumped it, and stabbed it with knives.
"This could take awhile, cover me!" shouted Tessil, I agreed.
Soon, the Caltraps, seeing their leader down were enraged, and decided it was a good time to take me and Tes out. I pulled out my shortbow, and felt the wood. So good, I missed the forests, but a voice snapped me back to the unpleasant truth, that it was gone, and I needed to protect Tessil. More Caltraps jumped out, and then the problem escalated. They outnumbered us 4 to 1, and we were surrounded. Now it was a fair fight, and that was not in our favour.
The Caltraps threw rocks around me in a circular motion, and I screamed for Tes to duck. Several Caltraps were hit by their own teammates, causing them to charge enraged. I sighed, and laughed aloud at the stupidity of these things, pinched some Terri Powder, and threw it at the ground. Smoke filled the air immediately, our eyes were trained to deal with it, and I quickly snapped about 3 necks, left my other knife in a Caltrap's throat, and only one was there, and the smoke was clearing. It grinned in that evil grin only a demonic being can do, and swung at me.
That was no Caltrap. Suddenly, I realized why this one's stomps were too quiet, too planned. This was a goblin. I quickly adapted my tactics, planning to use it's stupidity against it was no good, I feinted with my dagger, then slapped it with my sword. Enraged, it charged at me, and made it's first mistake. Never close the distance with an elf. I threw some powder in it's face, temporarily blinding it as the smoke filled it's body, and shoved the rest in it's mouth. Goblin's skin is too tough for these wimpy swords, I thought to myself, as the Goblin's stomach acid mixed with the smoke chemically and burned a hole through it's wind pipe and head. It couldn't breathe, and eventually fell over. By then, the Caltraps were gone, scared that their leader was out. It was a minor victory, but for a new recruit it was damn impressive. If I didn't get a medal of intelligence for this, I don't know what I would get.
Critique this.

"Ready!" shouted the captain as I pulled back on my bow-string, ready to fire.
The captian shouting and you drawing your string would not be happening simotanuouly. (spelled that wrong)
"Aim!" he shouted again, and I did as commanded.
The way 'again' is placed makes it sound like he shouded 'Aim!' again, instead of the again going to the 'shouted' as was intended.
"FIRE!!" He screamed now, and the damned Caltraps heard us.
I would remove the word 'now', or rearrange the sentence so that it reads more clearly.
I laughed as our arrows pierced their ranks, watched as they screamed in misery, watched as they were punished for their crimes against nature. They would pay for taking our home from us, they would pay dearly.
This would have more power if the verbs were either all the same or all different, instead of 'laughed', 'watched', and 'watched'.
This thought emboldened me, as I drew my long sword, and jumped from the tree I was hiding in.
All of those commans are useless.
The Caltrap screamed in a subtle mix of hatred, agony, and pure stupidity, and charged me.
You say 'The Caltrap'. Nowhere did you specify any Caltrap though, so you should say "A Caltrap'.
Stupid beast. I held my sword at neck point, and charged.
Useless comma.
Little sucker thought I was challenging it, or at least until my throat pierced it's neck, and it's lifeblood splattered on the floor.
The phrase in the middle sounds a little off. And the word 'throat' should be sword. 'lifeblood' is an odd choice of words, it may be slang in the story, but since it is only used once it should be removed.
I looked at it's eyes and said, simply, "You are dead,". It looked back at me, honoured to lose to a more skilled opponent, then died.
"Siris! Stop with the small fry, we have a Major coming at you! Oh, and duck!" my captain said, I did as told, and a rock missed my head by an inch.
This is insanely cheesy and un-warlike.
I let out an Elven war-cry, and charged the Major.
No comma.
It's green skin seemed to ripple with it's enraged bellow, and it charged, holding a makeshift club made out of a stump and a sharp piece of metal.
Two enemys yelling and changing each other? How cliche...
It swung at me, I nimbly dodged and thrusted a knife into it's leg.
Instead of a comma, use a semi-colon.
It's two times my size and going down.
This sentence feels out of place in this story, especially since it sisnt actually fall.
It laughed off the pain, and swung at an odd angle, very slowly, but obviously with great force.
Remove the first comma.
I jumped over, and tripped it as it was stepping towards me for a headbutt.
Jumped over... what? And tripped it? It being the sword or he brute?
You need some clairifying in this sentence.
It fell on the ground where Tes jumped it, and stabbed it with knives.
Useless comma, and who is Tes? (probably a series thing, but I didnt read anything else, and if this is a short story, you should clairify)
"This could take awhile, cover me!" shouted Tessil, I agreed.
Take awhile to stab a disabled thing to death? (more of a probably series thing)
Soon, the Caltraps, seeing their leader down were enraged, and decided it was a good time to take me and Tes out.
First comma is useless. should be a comma between 'down' and 'were'. And werent the Caltraps trying to take you guys out this entire time, or did they just decide to try and kill you?
I pulled out my shortbow, and felt the wood.
No comma.
So good, I missed the forests, but a voice snapped me back to the unpleasant truth, that it was gone, and I needed to protect Tessil.
This is kinda thrown in there...
More Caltraps jumped out, and then the problem escalated. They outnumbered us 4 to 1, and we were surrounded. Now it was a fair fight, and that was not in our favour.
Fair fight, but not in your favor? Also, wtf is favour?
The Caltraps threw rocks around me in a circular motion, and I screamed for Tes to duck.
How do you throw a rock in a circular motion?
Several Caltraps were hit by their own teammates, causing them to charge enraged.
'charge', 'enraged'
I sighed, and laughed aloud at the stupidity of these things, pinched some Terri Powder, and threw it at the ground.
Remove the first 'and'.
Smoke filled the air immediately, our eyes were trained to deal with it, and I quickly snapped about 3 necks, left my other knife in a Caltrap's throat, and only one was there, and the smoke was clearing.
'our eyes were trained to deal with it' is thrown in there very sloppily. 'other knife' refrences a previous knife. The only other knife was used too long ago to have a refrence to it now. 'and only one was there' is very confuzing. One what? The second half of this sentence needs to be rewritten for clairity,
It grinned in that evil grin only a demonic being can do, and swung at me.
Remove the word 'in' at the begenning.
That was no Caltrap. Suddenly, I realized why this one's stomps were too quiet, too planned.
When it says 'I realized' you should have mentioned the quite, planned footsteps before.
This was a goblin. I quickly adapted my tactics, planning to use it's stupidity against it was no good, I feinted with my dagger, then slapped it with my sword.
The word 'since' before 'planning'.Period before 'I feinted'.
Enraged, it charged at me, and made it's first mistake. Never close the distance with an elf.
Remove the second comma.
I threw some powder in it's face, temporarily blinding it as the smoke filled it's body, and shoved the rest in it's mouth. Goblin's skin is too tough for these wimpy swords, I thought to myself, as the Goblin's stomach acid mixed with the smoke chemically and burned a hole through it's wind pipe and head.
This is going a little far with fantasy. Goblins are the offspring of a human and Caltrap, neither of which have super-tough skin, but the goblin does? And more than just the windpipe and head would burn.
It couldn't breathe, and eventually fell over. By then, the Caltraps were gone, scared that their leader was out.
'scared that their leader was out' reads funny.
It was a minor victory, but for a new recruit it was damn impressive.
The last it, shouldnt that be an 'I'?
If I didn't get a medal of intelligence for this, I don't know what I would get.
This doesnt seem much of an intellect thing, but whatever...
So howd I do? =D
Sorry it took so long, I had to eat dinner and do my chores somewhere in the middle of doing it...

The captian shouting and you drawing your string would not be happening simotanuouly. (spelled that wrong)
The way 'again' is placed makes it sound like he shouded 'Aim!' again, instead of the again going to the 'shouted' as was intended.
I would remove the word 'now', or rearrange the sentence so that it reads more clearly.
This would have more power if the verbs were either all the same or all different, instead of 'laughed', 'watched', and 'watched'.
All of those commans are useless.
You say 'The Caltrap'. Nowhere did you specify any Caltrap though, so you should say "A Caltrap'.
Useless comma.
The phrase in the middle sounds a little off. And the word 'throat' should be sword. 'lifeblood' is an odd choice of words, it may be slang in the story, but since it is only used once it should be removed.
This is insanely cheesy and un-warlike.
No comma.
Two enemys yelling and changing each other? How cliche...
Instead of a comma, use a semi-colon.
This sentence feels out of place in this story, especially since it sisnt actually fall.
Remove the first comma.
Jumped over... what? And tripped it? It being the sword or he brute?
You need some clairifying in this sentence.
Useless comma, and who is Tes? (probably a series thing, but I didnt read anything else, and if this is a short story, you should clairify)
Take awhile to stab a disabled thing to death? (more of a probably series thing)
First comma is useless. should be a comma between 'down' and 'were'. And werent the Caltraps trying to take you guys out this entire time, or did they just decide to try and kill you?
No comma.
This is kinda thrown in there...
Fair fight, but not in your favor? Also, wtf is favour?
How do you throw a rock in a circular motion?
'charge', 'enraged'
Remove the first 'and'.

This is the worst thing I've seen come out of pawn to date. Idiots criticing other idiots? Inability to use spell check? Unexplainable obsession with doublespacing? Seriously, what were they thinking.
