(RP) Dangerous Legacy

[Ferrix]

Odo: [sblock] You follow the guard for a short while and he seems to be heading back to the East Gate and the guardpost.[/sblock]

Odo will observe the guard, noting his build, features, and habits of movement. Looking around for a minute, he'll find a trough of water and clean his reddened face, slightly disgusted at the smell of alcohol on his clothes.

Are there any clothing shops in this area? If he can, he'll buy a new set of clothes and clean himself off.

Liam keeps an eye out for the king's path, even as the dwarven emmisary plants himself in their way. He watches Sel as the dwarf "chats" with him for a moment. The dwarf's volume is sure to attract unwanted attention.

"I certainly hope that you are right. But for us to suceed, we must all remain vigilant."

 

[Vendetta]

"AYE!" The dwarf grunts loudly, then stands there silently looking at the new arrival, as if trying to figure out if Liam is the traitor.

Odo finds a shop of note. Though there are very few clothes of halfling stature, there are a few "childrens" items that will make do, at least in the meantime.

Just about that moment, the Gate Captain reappears. "Follow me, the King will see you now." He says and turns to walk away.

The captain leads the group through the crowd, which is no easy task, and finally to the back stage area and to a secured room where the King was sitting. Inside the room it was somewhat cramped, not being nearly as spacious as the King's changing room where you had met him earlier that day.

When you enter the room, the King waves off his attendants who are trying to touch up his wig and make-up. It is obvious right away that the King has not had a good morning as he looks haggard and slightly unkempt at this close range.

"Our captain tells Us that you have learned something on your mission. Please, what is the welfare of Our men that We sent out this morning? Did you learn anything of the fate of the Gnome Contingant?"

 

[Knight Otu]

"Sire, we found the remains of the gnome wagons, and most gnomes killed. They, and we, were ambushed by hired mercenaries, whose mission was to destroy that convoy, and anyone who would come to investigate. After the battle, we found a survivor,", Sel'Tarien points to the gnome, "who told a disturbing story. A conspiracy is afoot to prevent an alliance, and it has conspirators close to you." Sel'Tarien then nods to the gnome, encouraging him to tell what happened once again.

 

[Vendetta]

all eyes fall upon the young gnome, as he weaves his tale of the previous night, the ambush and the blurred conversation he overheard while half conscious. With the conclusion of the story, the King asks to see the torn letter, which Erdrick produces. The good King grows angry as he looks up. "Our own vizier! Our trusted advisor. How foul is his treachery?" The King collapes in his chair, overwhelmed with a flurry of emotions from rage to bittle loss.

 

[hafrogman]

Liam has a hard time watching as the king's emotions are shattered by the revelations. It is difficult to be an agent of so much pain. Still, in this case, pain is needed before the healing can begin.

"Sire, I feel it is important that the vizier be here, to answer the charges, or to prevent escape or any further treachery if all is as it seems. He did not seem to be at the talks, do you know where he is?"

 

[Knight Otu]

"Liam is correct, Sire." Sel says. He then realizes something "Liam, have you seen Odo anywhere? I thought he just wanted to get some supplies?"

 

[Vendetta]

King Promus nods his head to the guards who allow the elven noble entrance. "It would seem Our Vizier needs arresting and questioning. Noble Elf, It would please Us to have you enter upon this most dire task. Indeed, the elves do seem to be we human's only dear supporters in this measure to form alliance against the dreaded children of Rox'Voroth. Will you do this for Us?” The King asks everyone present.

Odo finds a shop of note. Though there are very few clothes of halfling stature, there are a few "childrens" items that will make do, at least in the meantime.

Odo will purchase a few of the childrens items, making himself look something of a lower-middle class child. Scrubbing up his face and hands with some dirt, he'll head to the guardpost.
