[Ilan]

I advise my companions to ride on till midnight and take only a few hours rest before moving again. The following day will be spend in a normal way but the pace will be high.

Please all post your opinions on this.

"No, we will take things easy, no need to hurry to the city. We need a good nights rest if we want to appear in front of the governor in proper shape. Riding all night will make us look wearyand will not aid our cause.

To Ilan:

We have nothing to fear, don't forget that the law is still on our side. A single knight in full plate will not travel too fast through the forest, and I am sure that Roland will need some time to make up his report as well

To all:

Let's travel until nightfall and set up camp in less Minotaur crowded lands, we don't attend the village and ride again at first light tomorrow

Tristan digs in his memory in the hope that he finds anything on a punishment for ignoring a paladins order here in Amstrad.

Just to make sure that he won't be arrested when arriving in the city.

OOC: And his opinion is that we should take some rest... duh.

As the both of you were hired as civilians (Neither of you had any rank in the Amstradan army) by the crown of Amstrad, neither of you had any authority over the other, regardless of the respect certain Amstradan government officials have/had for either of you. Sir Roland Goldsteel's nobility is unimportant in Amstrad, since the royal family rules the country centrally, and not through a feudal system.

However, if any of your actions are judged to be against the laws of Amstrad, while actually in service of Amstrad, you can be tried for treason. The penalties of treason are quite severe.

So far however, you have no reason to think you have broken any laws.

[Take, could you write up an NPC for me? (S)he has to be a Xth level something/10th level Weapon Master, at least 40 years old, human, who used to teach you (ie your old master)? You don't become a Weapon Master by visiting inns and taverns, nor even through using your sword a lot, so you need a Teacher. (S)he hence needs a lot of ranks in Profession (teacher) as well. Thank you!]

So after an hour's walk we break to set up camp. I'll do the cooking, since it beats going into the forest to look for wood. Guard duties as always (so wake me when something happens)

Wulf speaking in an exicted voice:

/OOC so that seems to be my name mr. take..../OOC

Finally, the adventures continue....I was so fed up with all this awful squabbling...and thank you for enthrusting me with the rear guard...I will fulfill my task properly!

/OOC this implies I agree with travelling (light) until nightfall (though that is only one hour away ) and then speed to the city/OOC

[Actually, I can't be bothered with Random encounters at the moment]

You arrive at the city gates of Delarom a few hours after noon of Moonday, the 3rd day of Brewfest festival. You know that the festival grounds are situated on the other side of town.

"Weapons please"
