JA's - The Prince's Own

[sblock]"From nobility you remember a symbol such as this as being the sigil of the Deloran family who many centuries ago were the hereditary monarchs of Car-ni-macar till they were overthrow by the vasa"[/sblock]

"I can't tell you much," says Vanessa. "But I recall seeing a symbol such as this one being used as the crest of the Deloran family. Hundreds of years ago they were the hereditary monarchs of Car-ni-macar, until they were overthrown by Vasa. Perhaps if there are surviving members of the house, they have used this in attempted revenge."

 

[Scotley]

"Waiting hundreds of years just to massacre a bunch of servants to be? That hardly seems a decisive blow in revenge for having your dynasty thrown over. There has to be more to the story."

"Unless the item was inherited by the Vasa when they inherited the kingdom. In which case that would support the idea of a test. Somehow I can't see the king killing a bunch of his own subjects." Yevas sighs in frustrations. "So far this box is the only clue we have and all its doing is giving us more questions than answers.

So has anyone any ideas as to what to do next."

 

[J. Alexander]

As the party is discussing what to do next, there is a sudden blaring of bugles and a heavily armed and mounted party, perhaps 200 strong, is seen coming up the road to the area..they are prehaps 3 mintues out.

 

[Scotley]

Henry utters a foul and perhaps unexpectedly harsh stream of curses sounding more like a squad of mercenaries than a bookish lad. He reaches out and flips open the book/box thingy.

 

[Rhun]

"Now we're in it..." says Vaness, as Henry flips open the box/book.

 

[ghostcat]

Seeing Henry going to flip open the box, Yevas dives off the stage and does a roll landing, staying flat on the ground.

Kyra

In the meantime, Kyra has finished dressing herself in more appropriate clothes, and has her other assorted belongings packed together.

Just as she wants to emerge from her pavillon, she hears so many hooves that sound like a whole army has arrived. Well, not too far from the truth it seems.

Declan

Declan looks up on hearing the mounted company approach, and instantly feels guilty at not raising the alarm earlier.

Before Declan can react, Henry has opened the book - leaving nothing but cringing against any magical retaliation.
