(Adventure) Immortality Awakens (Knight Otu Judging) Part II

<Ah, so 20 years is the minimum sentence?> Anton nods, turns around, and starts to go to the cave. There is no more business here that he wants a part of. The girl did not even matter to him, as she was crazier than the rest. If the party does not want to risk travelling with him, he will head back to Orussus.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Were you expecting a slap on the hand?" Larue calls towards the retreating Anton, "You killed a man and left a widow and orphan who may not be able to make ends meet, and you are so vile as to believe that you do not deserve to face consequences. So be it, villain. But the brand of murderer that you avoided on your face will always reside in your heart."

 

[Jdvn1]

Anton stops to address Larue, "Sir, I do not have the time to spend twenty years working for someone. I am sorry for the widow and orphan, but I feel I did not have a choice. I do not apologize for my actions, nor do I try to hide them. If you throw the orphan and widow out, that is your prerogative, and it is on your heart. I did what I felt like I had to do." He pauses and tries to think.

"If I know how much money the orphan and the widow need to survive as they have been, I will help if they will accept my help with monetary means. Other than that, I will not be someone's slave."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"You don't even apologise and now you're trying to offer a bribe? Even the wealthy cannot simply buy off the just desserts of their evil deeds. The sentence of hard labour is meant not as slavery but to give the murderer time to think about their sins, to force them to accept the consequences of their actions, although nothing could ever equal the grief of the bereaved family of the innocent victim."

 

[Bront]

"Larue, I realy care naught for what reward you were offering us other than to use it to help another poor girl. Feel free to give any or all of my part to the woman to help ease her financial burdan. As it stands, my only interest in being here is a promise I made to the woman you claim to love that no other harm will come to her, and that she would be treated well. Surely, as a man of honor, you can understand and at least let me in. Once I have been assured she is ok, I shall leave, never to return. You have my word as a warrior."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"And then you can understand that she is fine and take my word. If you aren't going to assist in the capture of the murderer, then you're an accomplice. However, I will allow you in on one condition. It is to ease the pain for the widow and her child, and it will not harm or hinder you. Will you comply?"

 

[Bront]

"What condition is that?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"In addition to the surrender of your weapons as you stated, I want the name of the murderer. Nothing more, but nothing less."

 

[Bront]

"I expect my weapons and such to be returned, but aye, I agree assuming you will."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Well, yes. They will be. Tell me and surrender your weapons and a guard will escort you to see the lady."
