Intrigue In Candara

[Jemal]

Allright after giving up your weapons you are escorted to the council room, where the council is allready in session. As you enter, the room goes quiet and all eyes turn to you. The head councilman stands up as you are ushered to the middle of the room. "Ah, I see you have deigned to appear with his majesty. I don't suppose you would be willing to just hand him over to us, would you? There are many deeds he needs to atone for, and much information we need to gather from him."

OOC: CS, feel free to post at any time looking for these guys

(It's not really 'appropriate' yet. I'm still going door to door looking for an ex-adventurer friend of the Knights family that can send a message, and although you answered that, the timing is just 'wrong' for me.)

 

[Thomas Hobbes]

Abesh shifts uncomfortably from foot to foot. He's always thought of the council as the just and wise rulers of a great nation- the nasty tone is rather unexpected. He keeps his silence, however, as he knows it's not his place to speak. He casts his mind idly back to his entrance, where he handed over his sword and whip, but left his little bag of tricks otherwise unemptied. He had been breifly tempted to provide a drumroll and fanfare for the group to enter to- it seemed only appropriate, for a former emperor, and he had both a trumpet and the magical means to sound drums- but he had been too nervous, and that had prevented him from carrying through on a plan that he otherwise wouldn't have hesitated to embark on. Oh well, he'll keep the idea in mind....

Ariel steps up to the plate....

"Oh my, my, my. Now that is not the council that I know." Ariel lets that hang in the air for the briefest of seconds, to emphasize the point. "Wisdom, mercy, compassion. That is our Kingdom, your graces. Perhaps a bit of what you do not know should be illuminated for your graces. Your enemy," she points towards the Empire, "is not here. You have the former Emperor, but he is not in control. You do not have that which pulls the strings. If you believe that the war is over because the former Emperor is here, you are wrong. You do, however, have a potential ally that has come seeking aid so that he may restore his people to a peaceful and stable way of life. I believe, your graces, that you should remember what our fair kingdom stands for. I believe that you should also realize, that the Grey Lady has given this man Sanctuary."

 

[Lichtenhart]

"That is indeed true; I, Antonio D'Este, Grey Priest and Judge of Candara, granted him sanctuary" Father Antonio says as he bows to the council "because he's not guilty of the crimes against our and his people. I can give you my word he won't lie to you, if you want to interrogate him. The true responsible, a threat both to us and the Keltic people, is an evil artifact who dominates the minds of men. It must be stopped."

"That is indeed true; I, Antonio D'Este, Grey Priest and Judge of Candara, granted him sanctuary" Father Antonio says as he bows to the council "because he's not guilty of the crimes against our and his people. I can give you my word he won't lie to you, if you want to interrogate him. The true responsible, a threat both to us and the Keltic people, is an evil artifact who dominates the minds of men. It must be stopped."

Gustaf, waiting for the right moment enters the discussion already taking place, following up on Antonio's words...

"The Edilritter is the name. It is a singular quell artifact, thinking only of taking this world into itself. It is highly resistant to magic, accelerantly enhanced to increase magical potency, and has a gaping void for a soul. It can be traced back 60 years or more, to the father of a concealed friend of my own, who has met before the councils of this country long past. They tried to destroy 'the EGG' but failed to ever corner it. It escaped from Sergei Elexie, and has it's own purpose."

"I'm disturbed, Antonio, you say the Emporer was taken control of? This is the most direct act the egg has ever taken, to my knowledge. It seems appropriate that we hid the Emporer as far away from the Egg as possible, I will handle those arrangements alone. Father, you, and perhaps these friends may help me make that journey? Apparently it is impossible to contact the appropriate persons to handle this, so we must act quickly."

"Council do not doubt me, I speak with the utmost knowledge of the matter at hand. The EGG must be destroyed, and the existence of a military at it's hands is disguistingly dangerous. It will increase every spell they throw, every soldier's blade, and every last drain it can upon the sould of men."

At this point everyone notices that Gustaf ran in with his weapons still sheathed on himself. Whether they take insult to this or not,

"Please pardon my intrussion, my appologies. I am not fond of formallities, and being away from my weapon disgusts me. There are at least three matters at hand, the first being the hiding of this man, the second being the defeat of the invaders, the third being the disuasion of the power of the egg... and the fourth..."

 

[Thomas Hobbes]

and the fourth..."

Abesh waits with bated breath, looking at the strange man who has burst into the council chamber.

ooc: Now finish that sentence.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Talisian listens with intrest. He will not speak unless he must.

Thomas looks to see if any guards come running in to tackle Gustaf . Other than that he does his norm and scours the surroundings for any assassins or what nots.

 

[Jemal]

A few guards approach Gustaf but the head councilman waves them off as he looks expectantly at Gustaf.

OOC: Damit man don't do that! I'm supposed to be the one droppign the bombs. *L* j/k, I'm loving the interaction and story you guys are setting up.
