You, however, force his King into a corner after he castles. Checkmate.The older man, a bit grey, looks none the worse for the loss, and it almost seems to please him."You will do well my young friend, I know. I myself will be soon rewarded for my own service. My later years will be sunny." He shakes your hand, gathers his cloak, and hurridly makes his way. "Remember not to pry into that note, and give it to John before sundown."Smiling Galia exits your small town home.What do you do to prepare for your trip to the Lion's Proper? It is located south of the river.No need for initiative, respond as suits your schedule.KizzyThe Guardswoman chuckles as you agree."I prefer exceedingly rare meat for my breakfast, actually, but to each her own."Spinning her cloak she makes quick steps towards the south bridge with you following, the two soldiers taking up the rear. On the main road towards the bridge to Southwark you feel the warm noon sunshine on your neck and you think of the nomads that raised you while drifting as Gypsies do. The best days as a youngster were always the sunny days.  Your reverie of family is broken by shouting ahead.A young typical looking man and who you would assume to be his mother are wrestling with Guardsmen as they are bring dragged, hands bound, into an armoured prison carriage. The man shouts frantically."This is wrong, we have done nothing against the Crown!!!. My father is not a criminal! My mother is not a criminal! Let her go!"A tall red haired Guardsmen raises the staff end of his wicked looking pike spear and strikes the young prisoner in the side of the head. You see blood sprinkle on the road below him."Quiet before your betters, rebel." The Guarsmen grabs the young man with one hand and heaves him into the carriage while still holding the pike with his other."Pay no attention" the Guardswoman says to you over her shoulder.Do you choose to do anything or do you continue on your way? No need for initiative, respond as suits your schedule.</blockquote>
