The Hunt begins The sun was beginning to set over the hills. Shops throughout town were beginning to close for the day. This, however, was just the start for Isabella. Prepared and ready, Isabella pulled her hood over her head. The black and white spotted leather adorned with horns. She drew her cutlass and began to move. Into the fields and through the foliage. She smiles as she came to a clearing. Hushing the men and women behind her, similarly dressed to her, they began to move quietly. In the middle of the clearing, a large wild cow was feeding on a berry bush. Isabelle pointed to nearby bushes, organizing her men to take positions around the clearing. For a few minute, it was silent. Just watching the animal as it continued eating. Suddenly, Isabella began to move, screaming and shouting, forcing the cow further into the clearing. The others stood up and moved out of the foliage, following Isabella as she charged towards the cow. With quick movements, the band of soldiers slashed and fought the cow. It didnt last long. Once the dust had settled, Isabella gathered the men and women around the cow. "Right, Jhor gather the berries. Rekl skin the cow. We need to move quickly to find more fruit for the coming days." Isabella smiled as she walked towards the bush, picked a ripe berry and placed it within her mouth. "Right lets move out, there is more to be found around here but we better get it before the moon rises too high."

An Invitation from Lasten Bluelake

Roleplay from Lasten Bluelake

Lasten looks at his table full of all the different cuts of meat, waiting for Dame Isabella to come join him and play skat, while his squire readies a few extra pineapple maces. "Are you really eating some of that pineapple?" "Yes, Sir Lasten!" "Ew. Why?" "Because they're bitter and sweet, Sir!" "But it's... fruit! Fruits are weapons! They must be saved to fight the Beppo!" "What's the Beppo, Sir?" "No idea, boy... just hear he's really bad. Alas, have we emptied the meat stores of the whole area? Can't be lowering ourselves down to eating fruit..." "It seems so, Sir" "Good lad. Come play cards with me, I'll make you the greatest skat player of all time!"

Isabella finally arrived to where she had known Lasten to be staying. She arrived with caution, unsure how to approach, she wasnt quite used to this. However, as she arrived the sight of the table of food lifted her heart. However the sight of another... eating.. a fruit concerned her. As she got closer, she tried to recall as much as she can of what her parents taught her about social etiquette. Lasten was someone she has not met, so she wished to try her best. "Greetings and good day to you, Sir Lasten Bluelake. I thank you for the invitation, please except this gift from me." She spoke in a greatly elevated voice and walked with her back unnaturally straight. She held out her hands, presenting a large club. However its head had been replaced by a melon with ripe berries attached via small cocktail sticks. "I can assure you this is an excellent weapon, I personally have one just like this in my armory." Isabella shuffled slowly towards the table, her head bowed down in respect, not really paying attention to where shes going. With a loud thud, she hit the corner of the table opposite Lasten with her knee. Causing her to stumble slightly, wincing in pain, but remain standing. She waited there, with the eyes of onlookers staring daggers at here, until Sir Lasten spoke once again.

"Oh, thank you, most gracious dame!" Lasten accepted the gift from Isabella and swung it a few times. "It's a very good weapon! I can offer you one of my maces if you will." He bowed down to pick up a pineapple mace and missed the dame's bump to the table. Oblivious to her pain, he gave the mace to her. "Please, try it out. We use it against the enemies when we're on the charge. The handle and core are made of steel, but the pineapple pricks and scratches... It can also give some infections, and of course, releases them from the Beppo."

Isabella took hold the mace, still wincing in pain but trying hard to cover it up. She stepped away from the table and began to swing the mace around. Testing its weight and balance. The more she moved the more comfortable she felt with it. She walked back over to the table and placed the mace down, she did not pay attention to where however. As soon as she released the handle, the weapon fell from the table landing cleanly on the top of her foot. While she was wearing thick leather boots that protected her from the needles, the weight was enough. Before she could react to the pain, she knelt down to pick it up and place it safely on the table. As she gritted her teeth she turned and bowed to Sir Lasten. "I humbly apologize for dropping the mace you have so kindly lent to me. Should it be damaged, I shall find you a fresh pineapple to replace it." As much as she was trying to hide it, the pain was clearly showing on her face this time. The combination of her knee and now her foot was too much for her to hide. She attempted to smile in apology however it came across as an angry scowl. She took a seat at the table, rubbing her knee trying to ease the pain as much as she could.
