Feint Whispers Chapter 7: Blood, Sweat, and Fears.

[Festy_Dog]

Norri remains quiet when Tarowyn is addressed by the knight, confident that the elf's wit could strike a telling blow in retaliation.

"Take care, Tarowyn. You too, m'lady," he says quietly, and bows before turning to the other scouts, "Let's head back, our eyes are of more use at front."

Norri heads back to where Jericho is with the scouts in tow.

 

[Mirth]

"Wait, Norri, we're coming with you" Tarowyn calls out before the halfling can depart. "Ride ahead and make sure Kravik is gone, then tell Bhartus and Jericho to convene a meeting with all of the lieutenants."

Turning to the infantryman that just commented, he says, "You've just been promoted. Come with me." And finally, the elf turns to Whitney, "I've got a plan that I could use your help with..."

He turns his blades and bow over to the men that escorted him back, "I won't need these to talk with Jericho, so you needn't worry about my state of mind. You all can ride with me back to the front with me, if you want."

 

[Festy_Dog]

Norri beams when he hears the order.

"Yes, sir!" He gives a salute and hurries on his way.

Tarowyn's got an ace up his sleeve! Can't wait to hear about this...

Once back in the presence of Jericho and Bhartus, Norri excitedly relays the information.

"Sirs, Tarowyn has requested a meeting with all the lieutenants. It would appear he has a cunning plan he would like to share," Norri is obviously pleased by the information he is sharing.

Whitney turns and faces Tarowyn and looks completely furious. "Tell me why you risked such a foolhardy move.. I'm almost as angry with you as I am with that.. man.. Jericho. I cannot BELIEVE he spoke to me like that.." paces back and forth, practily radiating heat. "So.. why did you do such a damn foolish thing."

 

[Krug]

I once took care of a litter of human brats that were better behaved, thinks Bhartus. Bhartus addresses the lieutenants. "I will not suffer such dissenssion. We will not parlay with the Knight. Our wills are iron. So should yours be," he concludes.

 

[Festy_Dog]

Norri looks a little confused.

"So... his request has been turned down, sir?" he asks, not fully adapted to military lingo.

 

[Krug]

Bhartus sighs to Norri, "We'll wait to see what Tarowyn has to say." He calls all the lieutenants.

 

[Tokiwong]

Norri looks a little confused.

"So... his request has been turned down, sir?" he asks, not fully adapted to military lingo.

Jericho simply nods, frustration boiling on his face, "Bring the elfy and Julia."

Kravik strokes Saladin's neck, "Aye, he will do. Though if you wanted me to look after him once you're gone, you only need ask.." with that he hops upon the steed's back, "I'll leave you now, D'orite, as I see you have other conscerns. I'll look for the honorable foreigner on the battlefield" he turns Saladin northward and, pressing his heels against the horse's sides, makes him bolt forward.

Norri makes his appearance and the exchange with Jericho and Bhartus is had.

Tarowyn and Whitney: The scouts with accept Tarowyn's weapon with a mere 'Yes, Sir'. The Knight who Tarowyn addressed (not infantryman) exchanges glances with his fellows and trots forward, "What need have you of me, Commander?"

ooc Tarowyn and Whitney: let me know when you want to head towards the front.

 

[Mirth]

OOC: Sorry folks, busy weekend. I'll try to post today or tomorrow, but it will probably be Monday AM. Just wanted to give you a heads up...
