Channelknight Fadran Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 Just now, The Ward's Guard said: The old man was silent for a moment more, "all of the Ravenness's victims are sent down into the dungeons until she comes for them." ----- "I have my men tracking a lead, but I had to make sure you were safe my King. As soon as I am done here, I will deal with this lead personally. We also have a few prisoners that I want to handler myself instead of handing them over to the Ravenness." "So... if Ara's not down here... then that means she's safe?" ----- Ivian nodded. "I'll reign in Riva once everything calms down."

"I'll reign in Riva once everything calms down." "Or, it could mean something worst." The old man shook his head, "I just don't know. Add that to the list of worries in this dungeon." ---- Caden nodded, "as you wish my Lord. About the prisoners, I have reason to suspect that that one in particular was involved in the court. I fear that they could be," Caden glanced at the guards surrounding him, "be involved with the King's lady we discussed earlier."

Ivian thought to himself for a moment. "Round up all the King's Ladies. Question all of them about this... Robin person."

The old man sat in silence, his eyes adopting a far off look as if remembering something, long ago. ---- "I have already begun accounting for every King's lady to see how many there are in the castle, I will adjust my orders. Unless you order otherwise, I will keep the castle on lockdown." Edited February 15, 2021 by The Ward's Guard

Unless you order otherwise, I will keep the castle on lockdown." "What's the current lockdown situation?"
The Ward's Guard he/him Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 Just now, Channelknight Fadran said: "What's the current lockdown situation?" "Everyone is confined to the room that they were in until the lockdown is lifted, any violators will be imprisoned, killed if they resist. There are many breaches in the lockdown, because of this, I moved a regiment of my personal army into a parameter around the castle. We have a number of prisoners already my lord."

"Send some questioners down to the dungeons. Not inquisitors--we don't need any more violence on our hands. Make sure to search everyone and learn everything you can about those taken into custody. Do not release any of the prisoners until I command it." As an afterthought, he added, "and check whoever the Raveness has taken. She always gets more... irritable during lockdowns."

The Ward's Guard he/him Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 Just now, Channelknight Fadran said: "Most likely. Why?" "I want to find a more secure location my lord. We don't know how many are out to kill you tonight, and I wanted to know if you could move during an attack." Caden bowed once more, "if that is all, I must hunt down the assassin my lord."
Fallapede Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 Jasper blocked the punch on his forearm, then swung towards Darrin's gut with his other hand, and followed up with a straight punch towards his cheek. "Trust is important, you know. Don't just tell me you won't keep your word."

"Trust is important, you know. Don't just tell me you won't keep your word." Both blows landed and Darrin fell to his knees. Really should have practiced had to hand more. "Well, it's kind of my job to hurt people," said Darrin. Then he reached out and grabbed Jasper's ankles.
The Ward's Guard he/him Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 The soldiers who took Arabella moved her quickly into a side room from where the general had left them, closing the door behind them once they were sure that there was only one way out. They sat the child in a chair and took up posts watching the door and the girl. @Vapor ----- "My lord, I must ask my leave now. I suspect that I will need everything to catch this assassin." @Channelknight Fadran

Hide it or something please. (I don't want to be caught.) Seraphina watched with alarm as the kid she had given the note to was dragged away. I sure hope I'm not caught. I don't want to be given over to the Raveness for treason... She pushed away those thoughts. She had nothing else to do, so she just sat bored at her table. Is the ball going to end? Am I going to be stuck here all night? She sighed, and looked around the room.

He gestured at two of the guardsmen to instruct them to follow before heading out of the room to deal with this lead for the assassin.
Fallapede Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 "Please, do surrender. I wouldn't want to hurt you any more than I have." Jasper rolled to retrieve his knife from where he'd dropped it earlier and leveled it at Darrin.
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted February 16, 2021 Author Posted February 16, 2021 Darrin grinned, a bit of blood rolling down his chin from where he'd been punched earlier. "Oh, I never surrender."

"Oh, I never surrender." Several guardsmen in uniforms burst out of a nearby door, and when they saw the two they immediately shouted as they ran towards them. "Halt, and lay down your arms!"
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted February 16, 2021 Author Posted February 16, 2021 Darrin's face fell. Oh, joy, he thought. He had... no idea how to get out of this.

Five guardsmen brandished their weapons towards to two, "stand down immediately and submit to the King!' Just as they finished their announcement, Caden strode into the courtyard from the other direction, walking in his typical hunched posture with the torchlight gleaming off of his pale while armor, with his face concealed by the shadows cast by the setting sun, leaving only his eyes visible. He hadn't drawn his arming blade yet, but his hand was on its hilt as he was followed by a group of at least twenty soldiers, who immediately fanned out in order to block escape routes. Caden chuckled like no man would, as if he had tried to practice it to sound natural, but had missed the mark. His gravelly voice rang through the area,"what have we here?" 1
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted February 16, 2021 Author Posted February 16, 2021 Darrin swallowed and paled. And all for your lack of patience. You're going to be handed over to the Raveness tonight, aren't you, Darrin? "Well, then," he said. "It appears I have been caught." He bowed. "My congratulations."
