The Four Lands - Southern Operatives

To the Lord Marshal

Slowly the man places the bundels on the freshly cleared tabel and beings to unwrap them. The first item unwrapped is a long sword with a silver handel and cross piece encased in a scarlet red leather sheath. While clean and bright, both sword and sheath show signs of usage. The second and third bundels also are long swords but are less ornate. The next serious of items that are produced from the trunk are a three chain shirts matched with leather greaves. Finally, three baldrics are removed for the case...they are of red and black leather and have the number s 1/1/1 on it......

For Andor, Roak and Ewan
[sblock]As the baldrics are revealed your grasp of military history click and putting the numbers with the regemential colors you know that these men were members of the 1st squad of the 1st company of the 1st regiment. This particual squad of men along with the 2/1/1 were made famous 15 years ago when during a border skirmish with the D'shai they mounted what was to be an almost sucidal charge against the D'shai commanding generals position during which the slew the general's bodyguard and broke the moral of the D'shai forces losing two of it's members and only three survivors from both squads. The squads numbers were retired and today the squads are know as A/1/1 and B1/1/1/[/sblock]

Andor

Andor stands up.

Unexpected help to be sure!

He salutes sharply.

We, who died already, go again to face the Reaper. May Light bless you in your endeavors.

OOC: maybe in Four Lands better fit is "face the Darkness", but what the heck, it is translation from Croatian so it is already little skewered...this is from the book Blato (Mud), historical novel put in early 20th century Croatia

In somewhat somberer tone he adds...
Trouble really has a way of finding always same people for world saving.
 

[sblock=OOC for All]Hello, all!

I have to apologize for the slow (no) posting over the last couple of days. Had a meeting with my supervisor at work, and there are some company changes going into place I have to do a lot of thinking about to figure out if it's gonna be bad or good. Basically I'm obsessing over it to the point I can't think about much else right now.

Bear with me - I promise I'll get back into it shortly!

JA - if you want to take care of Katherine 'till I can post regularly again, that would be great![/sblock]
 

Ewan stands as well and bows to the gentlemen.

"It is an honor to meet you. Any help I may give to get your families ready to move to safety is yours. I'm sure the Lord Marshall will be glad to make your acquaintance again. Although I'm also sure he wishes the circumstances were different, as do I."

Nijel Bladesong, Paladin 44/49hp, Ac20

Nijel sees the numbers, to be sure, but has no idea what they signify. So he is a little alarmed when Andor stands and salutes. Always eager to give proper military courtesy like a good NCO, however, Nijel will henceforth treat this gentleman as his superior officer.
 

Katherine Brightlaw

Though an irregular to the core and thus not given to formal military protocol, Katherine notes the deference paid these men and resolves to treat them with the same respect - though likely not in the form they're accustomed to.
 

Roak too stands, and nods in respect as he sees the regimental numbers upon the baldrics. "It is an honor to stand among such heroes," he says. "Your deeds precede you. I have spent much time studying your victory against the D'Shai; truly spectacular. Know that your valor had inspired and guided me in my own martial studies."
 


To the Lord Marshall

"It was both a sad and a glorious day" he repsonds to the well wishes...."I will see that my family is ready to leave in two hours. Please make yourself welcome"
 

"Thank you for your hospitality," says Roak with a short bow. "We dare not tarry long. We must reach the Lord Marshall, and soon, and bring him the dispatches which we carry."
