(RP) Dangerous Legacy

[Knight Otu]

The Arrest Dean Belhander Group
Hurrying down the hall you find two guards outside of the door.

"Halt!" They both order, loudly and forcefully. "The King is in Audiance, he'll see no one at this time."

"With Dean Belhander, who is suspected of treason, and whom the king asked us to approach and arrest." Sel looks at the page who was to lead them to Belhander's rooms. "If the king is alone with Belhander, he may be in danger."

"You shall not pass this door." The stronger of the two guards says. He is the one on the left and he looks rather impossing. The guard on the right starts to look a little bit nervous and much less confident. The guard on the left lowers his hand to the hilt of his sword.

Liam quickly thanks the man and flips him a gold coin before hurrying back the way he came, cursing slightly under his breath. It looks like he chose badly, and the town seems like the likely bet after all. Sighing to himself he turns away from the houses.

"Back to town."

Krueger grumbles and huffs as he and Liam head back toward the palace and the east and the "shopping" that the guard at the east gate spoke of.

As you come near the palace, you get a strange feeling that something isn't right. You see a guard running across the rear courtyard, but of course, the guards standing at the gate remain at their post. You wonder how far the "shopping" is from where you are and how how long it might take to get there. Considering the women you are looking for are princesses, finding them shouldn't be too much trouble... most likely, there will be a crowd of onlookers following their every move as well as a few guards protecting them.

Still... if the "Shopping" district is very large... or worse, they've moved on...

"Ye suppose they caught Belhammer yet?" Krueger grunts from a half pace behind Liam.

((ooc: btw, by this time, you guys are a bit ahead of the other group, chronologically))

Liam sighs, disgusted with himself. He has wasted his time and still no sign of the princess or Lady Asta. He can feel something twisting in his stomache as he notes the guard. Should he be with Sel? Will he and Krueger be needed, something about his meeting with Lady Asta left him with a strong desire to protect her . . . but was she really in danger.

He pauses at the fork in the road, to the palace or the town. He dithers, torn for a moment until Krueger's question snaps him out of it.

"I don't know. We . . . we will go check."

He sets off briskly to meet up with Sel and Odo and the others, muttering to himself.

"I hope I'm doing the right thing."

 

[Knight Otu]

(is Odo with us?)

"You shall not pass this door." The stronger of the two guards says. He is the one on the left and he looks rather impossing. The guard on the right starts to look a little bit nervous and much less confident. The guard on the left lowers his hand to the hilt of his sword.

"You are obstructing an official command by the king. Either ask the king or your superior if you want to cover your bases, but otherwise, they will learn of your failure."

(Would that be a bluff?)

Arresting group
The guard grin evilly at the elf before him. "You will not pass this door!" He says through gritted teeth.

The other guard begins to look more and more nervous, his hand on the hilt of his sword.




Returning Group
Krueger gives a very short cheer of sorts as he follows Liam toward the gate. ((you're a bit ahead of the other group, so... sorry this post is sort of filler))

Arresting group
The guard grin evilly at the elf before him. "You will not pass this door!" He says through gritted teeth.

The other guard begins to look more and more nervous, his hand on the hilt of his sword.

"I see. Craven traitors, losing their loyalty for the promise of a bit coin and a slightly longer life than the loyal subjects. Did you hear about the gnomes? They made the same decision as you, and they were killed by Belhander's men regardless. Oh, it's worthless, guys, let's go."
Sel tries to secretly signal his companions to get ready to strike (do we have our weapons, still?) before pretending to turn away, ready to strike as well.

 

[Vendetta]

The guard chuckles... a sinister, devious chuckle that chills the soul. "The gnomes were always pawns in this. What need of a gnome has man?"

((Yes, you do have your weapons))

 

[Knight Otu]

"You won't have a better lot as dragon food." Sel'Tarien says as he turns away. "But I have one more thing to say: You are under arrest!" Sel whirls back around, draws his weapon, and strikes at the guard that admitted his involvement. He strikes to subdue for now.
