Scotley's 4e Swashbuckler

[stonegod]

Old man Wilhelm kept near the fire; even in the hottest part of summer, he'd be there, "warming his bones." Today, he had Francois' pistols before him, cleaning and working on their unique mechanisms. Drache, as always, was nearby, learning against the mantle, the eyes of the dragon barrel glittering in the light.

Wilhelm did not look up at the arrival of the young lady, instead keeping focus on his task.

 

[Scotley]

She reaches into a pocket of her jacket and pulls out a large gold ring. A very distinctive ring. It is the queen's own signate ring. "I am here at the behest of Her Highness." She allows you a good look at the ring and slips it back into her pocket with a quick glance around. At this point it becomes clear who she is, you have seen her in company with the Queen and she is one of her ladies in waiting and the daughter of some minor noble or other.

"I come on a mission of vital urgency. One of which you must speak to no one. Should you choose to accept this mission her Highness will secure permission from your Commander. The mission involves delivery of a letter to the boundary of our kingdom. It must be done in secret. Absolutely no one must know, you may not tell even your confessor if you catch my meaning." This is almost certainly a veiled reference to the Archmandress and her Church Knights. "Certainly, you cannot claim to be working for the Queen, her role in this must be kept most secret nor even your own order for this cannot be traced back to the throne if fail." She glances around once more and then asks with urgency in her voice, "Can I trust you to undertake this vital mission this very night?" She gazes into your eyes.

 

[Rhun]

Lucien smiles. "We Hounds are the very soul of discretion," he says. "If our Commander approves us to undertake this mission, you can be certain that we will not utter a word of it to anyone outside of ourselves, and that we will be about it immediately."

 

[Shayuri]

"Why all the secrecy though?" Tabitha asks curiously. "Is it to a lover? A foreign lover? A missive of war or peace? Come, you must know."

Manous nods his agreement with Lucien's assurance, and looks at Tabitha with disapproval, but says nothing.

"I have sworn my oaths to the king and this brotherhood. No w you ask me keeping secrets from him and denounce my membership with the Hounds if asked? I'm with Tabitha, I need to know more before I'm willing to do this.

Lucien, Manous, why are you so eager to forsake the oaths to king and brotherhood just for seeing a signate ring?"
Malkyr declares his opinion.

[Leif]

Manous Artouche, Human Protecting Paladin 4

Manous, now very happy that he hasn't voiced any opinion concerning the question of loyalties yet, says, "Now hold, Malkyr! I have said nothing concerning such loyalties, and I resent your implication that I will forsake an oath to my King and my brotherhood for anything." The Paladin was evidently thinking with the wrong head, but now seems to have recovered.

 

[Rhun]

"And as I noted, our mission must be approved by our Commander. I trust in his judgement of such things. Are you saying that you do not trust the Captain?"

 

[Walking Dad]

Malkyr Tsul

"I trust our Commander. I trust him to look deeper for the meaning of this and if doing a secret assignment for the queen will break our oath to king and Hounds.
No one can command me to break my oaths, but you can convince me that, by widening their definitions, a greater good can be done. But this isn't the case, yet."
Malkyr declares his opinion.

Ali silently gets up and walks to the door to the outside, bowing to the lady as he passes. Once in the doorway, he looks around to see if anyone is loitering nearby. Once satisfied of their privacy, Ali returns to the group, "If the captain says we are to take the mission, I will ride on the mission."
