Dj will follow the guards......hearing the question, You would ask that question of a King's man, who brings the princess to safety? she tries to move quickly hoping the guards do as well......

DM Saysyou guys are awesome

25 bonus XP for the whole party! So glad we got Saraquai in here

The Half-orc simply grunts his withdrawal of the remark as he turns from the group. He moves towards the last gate at the western end of the hallway, and opens a similar panel in the wall. Turning the device, the gate lifts into the ceiling. He opens the door to the spiraling stairs, and stands at attention.

"I am not permitted off this floor, this is the end of my patrol." he explains. "Please speak to Lieutenant Kairym. She can grant you access to the Dungeon."

With this, the Half-Orc closes the door behind you, and approaches one of the small blue bells in the hallway. "Flindell. This is Hronak...one of the Garrison. The intruders have been captured, and are being escorted down to the Grand Hall now. They will be turned into the custody of Lt. Kairym."

Dirkdiggler · #33 01-10-2011, 05:38 PM

Drake nods to Hronak, "Thank you we will take this prisoners right away to the Dungeon. Mage take point and lead the way I will follow closely behind at the rear to make sure these men don't try to run." Drake unsheathes his bastard sword after he says this. He then gets behind the Eli, Comme, and Solyon. "My lady stay beside me so they may not take you as a prisoner. I will protect you and take you to your quarters once we have escorted this filth to the dungeons."

Eli with his head hung low followed the guardsman without saying a word. It seems the ruse has worked!

Saraquai · #35 01-12-2011, 03:20 AM

The elven magic user thinks of the quickest way out.....not sure how long the ruse will last till the alarm is raised once again. M'lady, I am but a humble servant of the crown still, is there somewhere we can hide you till we can figure this out whee you will be safe? The young elf raises her right shoulder adjusting the leather satchel that looks to contain a large book.

The satchel is the dark worn leather type, almost matching the color of her hair. Today DJ, wears it pinned back in soft curls with Baby's Breath neatly woven in the curls. Her dark eyes seem a touch concerned which is an oddity for Elves, at least in her home area. She is tall for most elves and is neither slim nor heavy. Her dress is of bright red silks, the hem, wrists and neckline are adorned with some sort of mystic symbols or strange language and although she has been running through these halls it is oddly not wrinkled nor dirty. She wears no jewelry other than two gold earrings that look like oddly entwined lines.

Princess Aoibheann cocks her head to the side, thinking over the situation..

"These men killed my father, and they were obviously behind the plot to get me kidnapped...probably hoping for my death," She theorizes aloud, "I could go back to my room, or to the armory, but the Kings men are following the Council's orders, and they would search my own quarters..."

This last thought sours her expression, and a pointed glare is thrust down the stairway, as she fixes her gaze to DJ. "No, the best place for me now is with this group, for now."

Her attention purposefully skips over Comme with this admission.

Saraquai · #37 01-12-2011, 07:35 PM

Continuing to move towards the nearest exit, Where then can we retreat and figure out how to make you safe as well as try to clear these men's names?

Jaggedblade421 · #38 01-13-2011, 12:53 PM

Eli racked his brain as they walked trying to think if any of his church contacts in the area could be trusted. The Issue is thinking of who would put there trust in me over that of the crown. keeping his head down Eli continued to silently think the situation over.

Dirkdiggler · #39 01-13-2011, 03:41 PM

Drake thinking this over makes a decision. "It would be best to exit the city completely. We must get out of here and then find a place in another city for the Princess. We will clear our names and come back later to get rid of those evil mages."

Let us proceed south to the coastline where we can catch a ship. I know that this will take you away from your church Eli but there must be more where you can go to. You as well DJ, we can find you another mage guild or order. I say we proceed to the country of Zenhuavere.

Jaggedblade421 · #40 01-13-2011, 04:28 PM

I agree, and have no qualms about leaving my church in fact I think it the best thing at the moment. looking at the Princess for a moment, Eli continues.However I fear that Her highness will not go unnoticed wherever we travel, Her face is on paintings and flags and banners spread across the land, and I am certain that much like the church the council is not with out means of gathering information from any corner of society... With that eli looks to the mage hoping for some form of conformation when suddenly his face lights up with a new thought. Perhaps some secret haunts belonging to the elven people would agree to keep her highness safe for the time? he continues looking to the mage as he speaks.

Saraquai · #41 01-14-2011, 01:44 AM

DJ immediately bites her lower lip, Hmmmm, we could definitely disappear in the Elvish lands, and they need to know that the King has been assassinated for selfish reasons.....I worry though if the council will strike at wherever....no, if he Princess wishes it and we feel it's the best course, then we will go there. she finishes as she clenches her fists.

Causa · #42 01-14-2011, 02:45 AM

As the group discusses their options, the chinking of scale maile carries up the twisting stairwell. A pair of Aasimar climb the stairs, carrying a longsword and a heavy steel shield, emblazoned with the symbol of the Royal Guard: A twisting serpent coiled around a sword hilt.

A third Aasimar climbs the stairs behind the two guards. This one wears a breastplate specifically molded to properly fit the female form. Her helm is fluted on either side, in the style of delicate Aasimar metalwork. She carries a heavy mace hanging from a leather harness across her torso, and a heavy steel shield on her back.

"Lieutenant Kairym," one of the guards greets her, "These appear to be the prisoners we are accepting custody of."

Saraquai · #43 01-14-2011, 03:41 PM

OOCWhat do i or any of the party know of the royal guard? Especially Lt. Kairym? How loyal are they to the king, friends with the princess, political views?

DM SezThe Royal Guard is the unit most loyal to the King, and it's members are purposefully diverse for political reasons. The Council is considered to be viewed as Officer ranks, so almost all Council members hold rank over members of the military, including the Royal Guard. The Princess is a figure head and while she is heiress to the throne, she doesn't have any military authority at this point. The Guard would not supersede orders from the Nine on orders of the Princess.

Politically speaking, the Military and Council are deeply integrated. Council members are usually assigned members of the Garrison for escorts and aid on missions, and when Albion was at war, Council members were often times leading or organizing divisions of soldiers.

Seeing the new faces and knowing that these guards are going to be much harder to fool Comme naros his eyes at the femail figure and says in a venomous tone just loud enuf for her to hear "I will escape these bounds and dissipate into the winds so quickly your guardsmen will never see me agen."

OOCim looking for an opening so that i can bolt from the party and try to distract the guards for a while could i be informed when there is an acceptable one... also i need to know if there is any way i can slip a message to anyone in the party telling them where my house is?

Dirkdiggler · #45 01-15-2011, 03:40 PM

Drake looks at the three new comers and nods, "Lieutenant I think it best that I stay with you until these men are behind bars. I will bring up the rear and make sure they do not escape. I was just lucky enough to come upon them to catch them off guard. The mage here was also a tremendous help."

Drake looks to the Princess, Lady do not fear your father will be brought to justice. This I promise you. Drake looks to Eli and Comme trying to instill some confidence that things will work out.
