The Four Lands - Dark is Rising

[Leif]

Stexird Kranhauser, Dwarf Ranger

Stexird would ordinarily remain right where he sits while the brass conducted their meeting, figuring that, hey, he was here first, so if they don't like it they are free to go elsewhere. But, seeing his dining/drinking companions all leave, Stex sighs, downs the rest of is ale, and follows them out, fuming and grumbling. "Cor blimey, never got sat down and tipped a cup but what some important-looking dandy of a soldier-boy with foppish gold braid so heavy upon his shoulders that he couldn't raise his arms to work even if he was of a mind to do so, didn't spoil things one way or another. I hope I don't get indigestion now!"

As to be expected from such a gathering the younger officers take offense and one walks the the dwark and says. "I would make an example of you if your head was higher that your arse and not stuck so far up it "

 

[Scotley]

Anessen sighs and turns to the nearest mature looking officer, someone with ribbons to indicate some real experience. "Tell me good sir, for my companions and I are new to the city and ignorant of its ways, what are the laws with regard to matters of honor? Is dueling permitted? Will a brawl bar our entry into the city? Are the punishments for such things stiff? Is there perhaps a formal way in which such mattered are settled?"

Stexird Kranhauser, Dwarf Ranger

As to be expected from such a gathering the younger officers take offense and one walks the the dwark and says. "I would make an example of you if your head was higher that your arse and not stuck so far up it "

Taking due offense from the young officer's words, but remaining in control of himself and very canny, Stexird just smiles at the officer and imagines how he would look with his head stuck on the end of a long pike, his crumpled, worthless, and quite dead body being abused by the Dwarf's warhammer.

Regardless of his imagination, Stex bows his head slightly and continues on out of the establishment, following his new friends. "Come along, Anessen," Stex says to the elf, "let it go. Just let it go."

Jadu stands in the pleasant air outside the eatery, enjoying the evening as he waits for the final few of the group to make their appearance.

Espejo continues out into the street and joins the others. Perhaps starting to move a little faster once the insults start.

 

[J. Alexander]

"Good question" the senior officer replies to anesseen, "It varies by custom and cause to the point only a arms judge or professional duelst would know by heart.then turning to the young officer he says "Let it be jared, give them passage I wish no blood to spoil the night" The young officer bristles but steps aside at the request.

For those outside the evening is in full swing now and the sounds and smells of people ending their work day abound.

 

[Neurotic]

"Let's go. We don't need trouble, Anessen. And dueling some daddy's son won't help you enter the city." Logan seems somewhat more stable on his feet, fresh air clearing his head a bit.

"I don't think I'll drink anymore tonight."

 

[Scotley]

The Elf bows to the senior officer and says, "A blessing upon you and your celebration." He then makes his way out, hopefully with the dwarf in tow. Outside, Anessen answers Logan "I had no desire to duel myself, but I thought perhaps a formal and legal resolution to the trouble our dwarf friend was buying might save us all a tour of of the local penal facilities or worse."

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

"An excellent thought, friend. I've no wish to see the inside of a prison cell anytime soon!"
