Intrigue In Candara

[Argent Silvermage]

Tal raises and eyebrow and says Finn. There were much better circumstances that you could have done that under. Tal looks at will for some sign that he will bolt or attack. Will? I appologize for Mac Morn's revelation like this. but he does claim to be the last Mac Morn.

"Well, well, isn't this an interesting turn of events." Ariel turns back to the guardsman who is at the door. "Inform the council that we will be coming in short order. However, I must tell you that we do not have the current Emperor here. We have the former Emperor who has been deposed by a more vile individual." She turns back to the assembled group. "We have a few more things to discuss before we come to meet the council." She bats her eyelashes and gives a nice, wide smile to the Guardsman. "I am sure you understand."

 

[Jemal]

OOC: Hollywood eat your heart out. Now, THAT was good, uriel. Isn't that the point they usually put up the "To be Continued" signs?

Will stares at Finnegan, then slowly smiles and nods his head at Auld's words. "Aye, I should have guessed it.. The pain in your eyes, the way you spoke.."

He stands, and moves slowly towards Finnegan. "I know that there are no words to take away the pain I have caused you, sir. I do, however, pledge to you that I will not rest until The Empire is defeated, and someone worthy is placed in control.." He pauses for a second, then nodding to himself he continues. "The reason I came looking for you is that you are the only man left with any legitimate claim to the throne." Kneeling, he continues speaking "If you are willing, Sire, I will do all within my power to ensure that you are declared as the rightful ruler of the land. Together, we will restore it to the way it should be."

Meanwhile, the man at the door stares, open mouthed. Ariels words break the hush that has fallen over the room, and the guard nods absently, moving away from the door, presumably to the council.

OOC: Oh, I may have neglected to mention this... The council is what most people refer to the government as. Candara is run by a 'council' of elected officials, who run the majority of the city, and the country.

Well Spook, this is a great turn of events. Tal stands and awaits the rest of the group departing for the council. Spook jumps into his arms.

"Hmmph." Ariel waits for everyone to get up. "Alright, I have some experience with the Council, they are familiar with me, I have been used as a mediator before them in the past. Let's find out exactly what they are after before we start announcing things. I would like to discover their intentions before we tell them anything that they may not be aware of."

 

[Thomas Hobbes]

Abesh's face lights up at the mention of the ruling body of Candara. "We get to meet the council?" He wispers excitedly. He turns to Thomas. "Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to meet them. The council...." He shakes his head and focuses on Thomas again. "What'dyou think they'll do with the Emperor over there?"

 

[drs]

Thomas gets up out of his seat, and then answers Abesh's question. "I haven't had much contact with them myself, so I can only guess Abesh. Who knows they may prosecute him for the deaths he has unwilling caused. Or, maybe after hearing his story they might aid his task."

When the group starts to exit the private room, Thomas motions to Abesh for his attention. In a hushed tone Thomas says "Keep alert boy, there still maybe assassins about. Just because we are in the city doesn't mean we are safe."

 

[Creamsteak]

Just to confirm, I'm reading everything and keeping it out of my characters knowledge, but I'm trying to time any re-entrance so that it isn't just "re-enter" "hello" "side comment" "side comment" "exit."

OOC: Sorry - my time with net access has been short of late.

Auld smiles at Finn. "Well, lad. I knew you planned to have him lying at yer feet sooner or later, but I don't imagine you thought it would be like this, eh?"

He looks at Wil. "You would truly put Finn on the throne, and help to restore the Mac Morn line? You would give up all that you have had, renounce any claim to power, that you might serve this lad, deserving though he is? If he decided right now that your crimes were too great, and he should have your head for the actions you have taken, would you submit to his will?"

 

[Lichtenhart]

Father Antonio stands up.
"Sister Ariel, I don't think we should hide anything to the Council. The information we have are just too important to the well-being and the safety of many people that we should not put in danger. Regarding Will, he is not a citizen of Candara, and he can't be accused of crimes he did under the influence of such an evil artifact. Now he just needs protection more than anything. They will surely listen to a judge of the Republic."
