After the guard's announcement, there is a general mutter of resentment in the room, but most of the people do rise, keeping hands away from weapons. There is a group of 3 litorians who have just come down the stairs as the announcement is made. The 3 of them snarl, and purposefully walk down the stairs, and take seats. The guard merely nods at them.
Several other guards approach behind the first, and fill out the room. There is a extremely well dressed man behind them (People with k(nobility) will recognize the Margrave's livery) who is approaching.
The guards select several people that have not risen (including the mojh), and stare at them.
To Haradoth: "You will rise, lizard, in the presence of the Margrave." Haradoth notices the man is missing a tooth, and has a nose that has clearly been broken a number of times.
The first guard approaches Rupert. "I enjoyed your salute, boy. I have one of my own." Quicker than Rupert expects, the butt of the longspear flashes up, catching him firmly in the crotch. His runic armor cushions the blow slightly, but not nearly enough. He staggers, but remains on his feet (ooc: successful attack roll, successful fortitude save vs. pain), though his eyes water.
The Margrave then steps in, accompanied by an attractive blond woman with a piercing gaze, and a leather bag in hand.
Actions? (Sit and wait is an acceptable answer).
