[QUOTE="Neurotic, post: 4957779, member: 24380"] [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]"I already told you I'm here in search of my mentors killers. This is how it happened: I was assigned as a squire to Tolgarien knight Justin Oldoak. We ran for two years up and down borders of Borderlands, calming tensions, judging criminals, hunting down occasional humanoid band that came within the borders. The Knights of Telatium are a non religious order of Knights that hold a series of small but important keeps scattered throughout the unclaimed lands and borderlands. While on one patrol with a small contingent of the Brotherhood, Sir Oldoak, me and the rest of the party were ambushed by a mixed force of ogiers and orcs. Having achieved surprise the creatures forced us into a shield wall along a small knoll. Closing in on the survivors the attackers soon eliminated all but three, two knights of Telatium and one Brother. Preparing to make their final last stand we stood back to back to meet the on rushing hordes. Just as the came into contact, the attackers themselves were surprised when flight after flight of cloth yard shafts began to fall from the sky impaling the dark masses. During the arrow storm, I was hit through the throat. I witnessed orcish caster taking the body of Sir Oldoak and teleporting out. Warrior of the Brotherhood was cut down just before arrows started flying. Then I lost conciousness. I woke up after some time to find myself manacled to a small stake but bandaged.
