[QUOTE="Lobo Lurker, post: 3679047, member: 25172"] King Jarod listens as you accept his charge with half-closed eyes. One of the younger daughters, Nyssa, begins to cry and is quickly shushed by her older sisters. He speaks "[COLOR=White]Thank you . . . all of you. Captain Alfan,[/COLOR]" he indicated the elderly kingsguard kneeling at the bedside. "[COLOR=White]...Captain Alfan will accompany you. There are some horses in the yard--[/COLOR]" The king is cut off by Princess Jessa, the eldest daughter, "[COLOR=Plum]FATHER NO! we will not leave you here, defenseless, to die! We can rally the militia and what remains of the army. Lord-Marshals Nasher and Jeremy are still alive; they can lead the counter-offensive.[/COLOR]" King Jarod regards her sadly, with teary eyes he says: "[COLOR=White]Jessa, my dear Jessa... you were always the headstrong one. Listen ... listen to me, but really listen.[/COLOR]" He coughs again. "[COLOR=White]We are lost. The freeholds have already fallen... they just don't know it yet.[/COLOR]" Jessa begins to protest but Jarod silences her with a fierce glare. "[COLOR=White]If you must fight, then let it be a fight of your choosing. Leave now, gather your forces and fight the invaders on your own terms. For the moment, do as an old man asks.[/COLOR]" The crown-princess reddens in anger and storms from the room. "[COLOR=Red]By your leave, sire.[/COLOR]" says Capt. Alfan as he gets to his feat. "[COLOR=Red]Fear not, we'll get your girls to safety and stick by them as long as we can.[/COLOR]" Looking to the rest of you he says "[COLOR=Red]Lets go.[/COLOR]" [COLOR=White]----------------------------------------------------- [SIZE=2]DM NOTE: Feel free to ask any questions or make any comments that you want.[/SIZE] -----------------------------------------------------[/COLOR] Down in the yard, horses are saddled and each of you are given one of the best horses from the king's stables ([I][COLOR=White]feel free to pick your color, all are light warhorses[/COLOR][/I]).
