Fallapede Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 Just now, The Ward's Guard said: Caden growled, but he seemed to more or less be holding his peace as he spared a glare for the captain. "Speak then." "To put it simply, your guards are improperly spaced. Certain areas are covered by several points of view, but this leaves blind spots which are easy to exploit. I was able to get in easily, and imagine if it had been someone with bad intentions!"

Caden's knuckles whitened as he gripped his arming sword, "and who might you be?"
Channelknight Fadran Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 Quote Ouchy'd, then. Okay. A loud yell of pain came from the king's chambers.

This is what happens when your security is lax! I'm Jasper, by the way. Pleased to make your acquaintance." He bows and takes off at a sprint towards the noise. Quote I'm assuming we're near enough to the king's chambers to be within earshot. If we're not I'll change this.

Caden turned around in an instant when he heard the yell, shouting at the captain to bring the Keep into lockdown. He then sprinted after this 'Jasper,' making good ground as he ran.

The Ward's Guard he/him Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 16 minutes ago, Channelknight Fadran said: "CAN SOMEONE PLEASE STOP THIS GUY???" Caden arrived at the King's room first, where he was shortly followed by s number of the King's guard, shoving aside anyone who stood in his way as he slammed through the door into the bedroom. When he saw the King with an arrow in him, he rushed to where he was, throwing himself between the King and where he assumed the assailant had shot him from. Caden scanned the King's injuries with a deadly serious face before reaching to lift the King from where he was. Shortly after Caden had stormed into the room, two of the King's guards entered in with shields, moving to position themselves between the King and the assumed position of the assailant.

Caden lifted up the king and carried him out of the bedchamber, with the guardsmen covering him with their shields. As soon as Caden had made it out of the room, the captain had caught up to them; Caden didn't even spare him a glare before shouting at him. "Get this whole castle on lockdown, current codeword Mors Regem! No one is to leave the chamber that they're in without explicit permission, I want guards doubled and the entire area searched immediately! MOVE!" At the last word, the captain began to run off to raise the alarm. Caden placed the king on the ground to assess the king's wound, he shouted commands at the guardsmen around him as he did so. "You, scout down that hallway until you find a secure room! The other one will stay with me, now go!" Quote This means that as soon as the alarm goes off, everyone in the ballroom will be stuck there until the lockdown is released; in case you didn't get that from what I just said. Absolutely everyone is forced to stay where they are unless they are a guardsmen with the proper passcodes and orders from the commanding office. Any and all violations of this lockdown will be met with dire consequences, so I can't wait to see if this will cause drama amongst our cast of characters. That is, unless you all think I'm taking this too far. Edited February 9, 2021 by The Ward's Guard 2

Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted February 9, 2021 Author Posted February 9, 2021 Guards began to spill into the room. For Riva, it was only worth the raise of an eyebrow. Oh, what now? she thought, crossing her arms and leaning back against the wall. Maverick, however, the guards' presence spooked him. Stars above! He hid behind the pages of his mystery novel and tried not to tremble. Quote Now would be a great time for that distraction, Robin. @Robin Custos
Condensation she/her Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 Aliénor stopped dancing and stared at the guards. "What's happening?"
The Ward's Guard he/him Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 6 minutes ago, Condensation said: Nope, sounds great. Quote Well then, since there are no open objections. Also, if anyone wants to challenge a guard, I'd be more than happy to RP as one or more. Bells began to be rung, which they could be heard all throughout the palace. As soon as the security or guardsmen heard the bells ringing, they began to close the doors to every single room in the entire palace, and they counted to times the bells tolled, ending at 13. All throughout the palace, guardsmen ran and scrambled from their barracks to their posts during a lockdown of this scale, closing doors and locking them as they went, sealing the people inside. Any chamber that had someone in it had a guard positioned on the inside that they they could watch the occupants. Anyone who was outside of a room was quickly rushed into the nearest door before it was closed. In no time as all, guards were positioned practically everywhere all throughout the building. Just now, Condensation said: Aliénor stopped dancing and stared at the guards. "What's happening?" "Complete palace lockdown my lady, you will have to stay here for now."
Condensation she/her Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 Just now, The Ward's Guard said: "Complete palace lockdown my lady, you will have to stay here for now." "What do you mean? Why?"
The Ward's Guard he/him Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 1 minute ago, Condensation said: "What do you mean? Why?" The guard bowed his head in respect. "Something has happened my lady, but I'm sorry to say that I don't know what. All I know is that everyone must stay in the chamber that they were in when the lockdown was initiated. No one may leave, not even you."
Fallapede Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 Jasper clambered out of the king's bedroom window and crawled up to the roof, scanning the area for movement.

Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted February 9, 2021 Author Posted February 9, 2021 Nicolae leapt out of his seat. He was a little too drunk to have counted the bells, but he knew something was wrong and he went to Eleanor first. "I'm at your aid, Miss," he said loyally. @Condensation
