Babies and Wet-Nurses: A Conversation

**Xath** · 26th March 2005, 12:00 AM

(At some point when we all have free time)

Xath sits down at the table with the Circle. "So we've all agreed to Archonus' plan that the child shall travel with us. And we all agree that if that is to happen, the child will need a wet-nurse. So what we need to find is someone of similar term to Jaine who is able in combat. While we have many pregnant women in this fledgeling kingdom, the list of those who we can trust to be true and stalwart in battle is few. Obviously Jaine cannot nurse her own child, as she cannot travel with us. Even if the child were to remain in Hyrwl, a queen is no nursemaid. So we needs find someone who is suitable. Jansten has told me that there is a woman of term who is battle capable amongst his rebellion. I believe her name is Dara Goldenblade. The Goldenblade house is as old and trusted as Arendorr. I think so far she is our best bet. Thoughts?"

Archon · 26th March 2005, 12:11 AM

Archon's eye's widen at the suggestion of Dara as a Nursemaid. Without rising from his chair, he replies not really looking at anybody.
"No. I will not have her serve as a nursemaid to my child. There must be another."

I know very little of this Goldenblade woman. More importantly, she has a child of her own to worry about. I think it would be unwise to ask Lady Goldenblade to bring her child into our party of adventurers and place her in harms way.

**Xath** · 26th March 2005, 12:13 AM

Xath turns to Archon. "What do you know of her that would suggest she is an ill canidate?"

**Xath** · 26th March 2005, 12:14 AM

Xath turns to Justice. "We may have no choice. We need someone who can hold her own if the situation requires. That may not give us many choices. I still think we should consult Lady Goldenblade, if she is amenable."

Archon · 26th March 2005, 12:17 AM

"Because she is a loyal servant to the Bluestar. She cares not for this rebellion."

Queen_Dopplepopolis · 26th March 2005, 12:20 AM

Archonus! How do you have such information! Dara - by all appearaces is a loyal servant to Jansten's rebellion. Not of the Bluestar. She serves our cause.

(OOC - this convo is happening in the past, right?)

**Xath** · 26th March 2005, 12:22 AM

OOC- I think so.

IC- Jansten vouches for her. She was being mind controled by the Bluestar, but has found refuge and healing with the rebellion. I see no reason not to trust her, at least no more or less than any member of the kingdom.

Jansten hasn't PERSONALLY vouched for her...but I don't think it has come up, either.

She's, by all appearances, a loyal member of the rebellion.

OOC- I remember Greg saying something about her being brainwashed. But that they healed and were rehabbing her. Am I alone in this?

OOC - I don't remember that... doesn't mean it didn't happen, though.

I don't remember one way or the other. I know what has happened to her, but I don't know if it ever came up IC.

Archon · 26th March 2005, 12:31 AM

"she very well may have been brainwashed, but i saw her, in Oceanus during the invasion. She tried to get me to side with her"

Queen_Dopplepopolis · 26th March 2005, 12:33 AM

In shock, Justice looks to Archonus. "Why didn't you say anything sooner? Why didn't you share this the moment we saw her in Jansten's ranks?"

Archon · 26th March 2005, 12:34 AM

"I did not know she was within Jansten's ranks, this is the first i've heard such news."

The_Universe · 26th March 2005, 12:35 AM

OOC - LIES! She was mentioned during the first description of Jansten's people, some time ago.

But not a big deal.

Might want to amend or roll a bluff, though.

((I think someone ought to roll a bluff check! You **totally** knew - this is why Dara has been brought up so many times... why we've - OOC - questioned Archon's decision to talk.))

Archon · 26th March 2005, 12:37 AM

ooc- seriously, to my knowledge i thought she was still working for the Bluestar.

Archon · 26th March 2005, 12:38 AM

ooc- the last i heard of her she was standing next to the Bluestar at the first negotiations, i thought we all saw her there

You saw the Bluestar being all chummy with Jansten, as well. anyway, not a big deal. Converse, get it out in the open, and then move on!

Anyway, she's been in the camp from Day 1. You can move this conversation around in history as you see fit (if it helps it make sense) but as of the moment Dara is wandering around Hyrwl with as much freedom as the rest of Jansten's people.
