Scout: "Sir, here is the scout report you requested." Scout Report (Nahad): Scribe Note Gaston: "Ith like the Ducheth of Nahad are taunting me! The ith inviting me to vithit her, and burn her keep down tho that we can be free to be together!" Scout: "Sir, have you...spoken...with the Duchess Calanar?" Gaston: "Not with wordth, no, but Arya ith clearly a prithoner in her own cathle. Why elth would the only have 25 archerth guarding her? Arya wanth me to come and take her to Thaeth. Thith is a thign!" Scout: "Sir, the ways of nobles are confusing to a poor peasant like me. If she desires you, why does she not send you a letter, or come visit you, or acknowledge your existence?" Gaston: "I told you already--the is a prisoner! They are taking away her letterth, and preventing her from leaving her casthle. Go away, while I think about the Ducheth in private."

Scout: "Sir, here is the scout report of Nahad." Scribe Note Scout Report (Nahad) Scout: "As usual, the duchess is waiting in the city. Alarondur, with his daisy covered horses, have left the city, to be replaced with Horus." Gaston: "They mutht be taking turnth guarding Ducheth Arya! Or, Alarondur hath fallen out of favor with her, or perhapth the fair Arya has sent Alarondur on a quetht to prove hith worth. I hope she doethent fall for the charmth of her captor before I can rethcue her from him." Scout: "Sir, I have much to learn about how nobles interact, but the cavalry did not seem to be guarding the Duchess." Gaston: "Ah, the fair Arya, the mutht have given her word that the would not attempt to ethcape! The ith ath honorable ath the is fair."

Scout Report (Nahad): Scribe Note Scout: The people are a bit hungry in Nahad, my lord. Gaston: Her captorth are attempting to thtarve out Arya! Scout: That tactic makes little sense to me, my lord. Won't it just be the peasants that starve, and not the Duchess? Gaston: Once again, you thhow your ignorance of the wayth of nobleth. The thtarving peasantth will eventually rithe up to overthrow my fair Arya. This is Alarondur's way to prethuring Arya to become hith bride. Scout: He is no doubt a scoundrel of the highest order, my Lord.

Scout Report (Nahad): Scribe Note Scout: "Sir, it appears that Arya has recruited some men!" Gaston: "True, but they are thtill outnumbered by all those other nobleth that thowed up. Perhapth Arya is theeking out thutorth." Scout: "Sir, again, I do not know the ways of nobles, but they appear to be guarding the wall, although a few are moving out. Guy du appears to be coming towards Ornaz." Gaston: "Thee! He wanth to prove hith love with a thow of bravery!"

"Remember--Arya ith being held prithoner, we mutht thave her from her thuitors! I mean captorth! To armth!" Captain Aldric: "You heard the lord! Move! Remember to protect the duchess, everyone else gets the sword!" The men look at each other, slightly confused as to the whole scenario, but kept moving forward. The scout moved alongside them and explained that Duchess Arya was a prisoner in her own keep, while being courted by Count Alarondur with his daisy-covered horses, who undoubtedly had been behind the plot to starve the peasants--without her city, the duchess would be forced to become Alarondur's wife. Lord Gaston, the scout continued, had deduced the foul plot through his scout reports, and had also determined that Duchess Arya wanted Gaston, personally, to rescue her. Captain Aldric wisely kept his mouth shut, knowing that Gaston spent much of his free time trying to draw pictures of Arya from the descriptions of her the scout had given.

As i was sitting down in a back room of an inn I was using as headquarters I hear foot steps coming from the Common room. "Sir!" Captain Rolf said as he snapped to attention with a wide smile and a gleam in his eyes. "I have the reports from the battle" I motion for him to relaxe and come forward. "By the look on your face I amuse there is some good news." "Yes Sir, I am pleased to report that it was one of our arrows that wounded Lady Arya Calanar while on top of hitting multiple targets." He still could not keep the smile and gleam from his eyes as this was the first time the men have hit a target of any stature. "Well that is good news. I may just have to let the men have a little extra time to relax and rest once we return home" "Go and tell the men what they can expect when we return and give them my congratulations on a well fought battle." "Yes Sir!" He gives a quick salute and leaves. I sit back down and write a note to remind me of the promise to the men and the lean back and smile and think... "We score out first real blow and the paladin that caused me so much trouble the last time I was here was killed." "It was a good day."

Roleplay from Sayuki Kuriga

Message sent to Nahad

Sayuki led his men onto the walls, their armour the sickly green of rotting flesh, their assault made in a silence akin only to Death itself. Clearing a beachhead on the wall, his men waited for orders. "Capture the fortress keep. Remember that no harm is to come to Duchess Arya." With that his men charged into the enemy city, slaughtering those that came in their way with swords poisoned with the blood of those who had died from disease. Even if the blow didn't kill, the infection from the wound would. Many of their foes thought them to be allies in retreat, such was their sullen silence. They all payed for their folly, swept aside by the irresistible tide of death. When he came to the keep, he saw the figure of a woman wearing an ornate suit of armour, killing with a grace that put his men's utilitarian style to shame. When he saw her heraldry, he shouted to his men, "That is the Duchess! If one of you lays a blade on her I will kill you myself! Kill her retainers and she will have no choice but to surrender." He and his men began to attack when a massive yell was heard coming from his left. Looking, he saw a mass of men sweep over the place the Duchess was making her stand. As his men got closer to the melee, he saw that the Duchess was fighting off two nobles. As she moved to attack one, the other swung his sword, which she barely parried. The first noble then drove his mailed fist into her stomach, doubling her over. The second noble slashed through her armour, causing blood to flow freely through the wound in her side. The first stabbed her through the right shoulder, and both moved on as she fell to the ground. Rushing through the crowd of men, Sayuki came to where she lay gasping for air as blood pooled on the ground around her. Kneeling down, he waved for one of the healers attached to his unit. "Stop the bleeding coming from the body wound, I'll take care of the shoulder wound." With that he began pulling off her armour, desperately trying to stem the flow of blood with strips of his shirt torn off and tied around her wound. Seeing that his healer had finished stitching up the slash that scarred her side, he looked up to see some of her retainers looking for revenge for their failure in protecting the Duchess. He left her for them, leaving behind a shield with his heraldry, a direwolf bathing in blood.

Both participants are using the 'aggressive' strategy, so that neither has an advantage. The duel rages for quite some time and superficial wounds are suffered on both sides. Finally, a deep blow strikes Gaston down and his second declares it a surrender. Eithad, although the winner, has also suffered a light wound.

"I need no protection from Arcaea!" Whoever that young noble was, the thought that Arya needed any protection ticked her off. She wanted to charge out there and hit someone. Still, the healers told her to back off, under the threat that the two men outside would have their heads if she or Adaria tried anything stupid. Not knowing who they were, but assuming with some accuracy, she knew it was best to not push her luck. She had to be there for Adaria at the moment. She'd never been as close to Xarnelf, but she felt the loss in the realm. Realizing her outburst might wake Adaria, she sighed and quieted down for a moment. "Wait... Why does Arcaea want to protect me?"

As I was going over reports from last night and this morning I hear two men shouting in the commons room and go to investigate. Captain Rolf meets me in the door way looking rather annoyed. "Sir i was just told that there was a challenge issued against you" "Who and for what reason?" I was shocked by the unexpectedness of this forgetting about the roomers I had head about a certain noble's affection for the Duchess of Nahad. "It is Lord Gaston that challenges you, due to the injury we inflicted on Duchess Arya." The Captain's look was one of complete confusion. "Ah yes I had forgotten that he fancied her. As it may seem I have received a report that he has all ready fought one challenge and lost." I stop to think over the response I should give. "Tell Lord Gaston that due to his injury at his previous duel I decline his challenge so that he can gather his strength for the battle that will come. Be that here or on another front he will need his strength back." "Yes sir." The Captain salutes and walks out of the inn to deliver the message.

The sword had broken a rib and collapsed a lung. Only the skill of his healers had kept him alive.Gaston was finally healed enough to get out of bed. As Gaston awoke, it appeared that the Field of Honor had "taken over" an inn just outside the city gates, although most of the army had left. Gaston slowly stood and walked out of the room, left elbow held and shoulder level to keep it from touching his side. Gaston's healers insisted that he eat. He only agreed to do so after Captain Aldric pointed out that the beef would return some color to his face and 'vigor' to the rest of his body. Gaston walked to the city gate; captain, healer, scribe, and two soldiers with him. The guards at the gate watched his approach with some amusement, as Gaston tried to hide his injury by waving at the merchants and farmers leaving the city. Given the new state of peace, the guards allowed him through the gate. Every step of the journey to the keep sent waves of pain through his body, and sweat poured down his face. When the group reached the gates of the keep, Gaston spoke with the guard. "Tell the Ducheth Arya that I have come to theak with her."

Letter from Gaston Gellander (9 hours, 16 minutes ago) Sir Kurgia, I will not forget this kindness, looking after Arya.

Gaston Gellander (Knight of Lantzas)

Roleplay from Arya Calanar (1 hour, 49 minutes ago) Message sent to everyone in the region Nahad (8 recipients) Arya had just finished burning another letter from Sayuki. The coward that used disease to fight for him. At least an infiltrator doesn't parade around as a pinnacle of honor and admits to using poisons in the shadowy arts. This Sayuki slanders the idea of the knight. Horus and Namenir weren't helping either with their own disrespect.

She was about to consider challenging Sayuki under her full identity, when word came to her that Gaston wanted to speak with her. Anger at the coward fueled her decision. This man had been supported by several. She wanted nothing to do with Arcaea. Still, she wouldn't refuse the audience. She'd make her name known.

"Fine. Tell Gaston that the Princess of Thieves, Duchess Arya Calanar is granting him a short audience."

She'd admitted it only to a few people, but now she didn't care. Her mother used the title to her advantage in her own day, now she would as well. She wanted no suitors, and only a few from Arcaea had shown her respect. They weren't bad, but she didn't respond to the letters. She knew her temper would get to her as she wrote them. This was unavoidable though, and every bit of anger Arya felt, was also reflected in the eyes of her companion, Accalia the Svunnetland riding wolf. star [reply to sender] | [reply to list] | [ignore] | [userdetails] | [vulgarity]

Roleplay from Gaston Gellander (just in) Message sent to everyone in the region Nahad (8 recipients) Gaston was so delighted at the words of the page that he almost trampled the boy in his urgency to see the Duchess. Gaston ordered all those with him, save his captain, to remain in the outer courtyard, then followed the page.

Gaston entered the audience chamber with his left arm raised high, and then swept it down as he bent over stiffly, offering the best bow he could manage with his tender ribs. He kept his gaze on the floor, not daring to look up until Arya spoke.

"Printheth of Thieveth, Ducheth Arya Calanar, I am Gathton Gellander, knight of Lanthath, and I have dreamed of meeting you for weekth."

Roleplay from Arya Calanar Message sent to everyone in the region Nahad (6 recipients) "Tch..." She shook her head while sitting in the ducal seat. She reached over and scratched Accalia's ear. Her temper was clearly in control. She was tolerating Gaston's presence.

"Well, you're here. Is there something you wanted? I don't have all day. I have to repair the city that you and your friends tore apart."

Her gray eyes rested on Gaston, and for the first time in her life, she had her father's gaze, however tempered by anger, the gaze that could look through someone was more piercing than ever.

Roleplay from Gaston Gellander Message sent to everyone in the region Nahad (6 recipients) Gaston straightened up, then almost fell backwards as he noticed the wolf staring at him. Gaston's ribs burned with what was probably another infection, so he casually placed his left elbow on Captain Aldric's shoulder, who bent his knees as much as he could to make it seem more natural.

"My lady, there ith no need to hide the truth from me. I have been obtherving you for weekth, and I know that you planned the defeat of your thity tho that we could be together. I watched and thaw that you did not order militha brought forth. Well, here I am, ready to take you to Archaea."

Roleplay from Arya Calanar (16 hours, 59 minutes ago) Message sent to everyone in the region Nahad (6 recipients) "Go to Arcaea?" She laughed, something musical with a dash of spite. "Never! I didn't call militia forward because I had to save gold to rebuild the walls you almost tore down again."

She stood up and turned her back to Gaston for the moment, though the wolf was still on guard. "Besides, you're under-qualified and too late." She turned around again, not bothered by her words. She had no feelings for Gaston.

"Is there anything else I can do for you?"

Roleplay from Gaston Gellander Message sent to everyone in the region Nahad (5 recipients) Gaston was crushed by this news; he had not even considered that she would reject him. Still, he was a noble, and he put on a brave face.

"Qualificationth I can earn. What thall I accomplith? Would you be interethted if I became General of Arcaea? I am young, but I have already been appointed vice-marshal of the Field of Honor."

The second part of her statement finally struck home, and he sagged--a movement he immediately regretted has his ribs screamed in pain. Gaston straightened up quickly, which caused another protest. It felt like his heart was breaking--which it was.

"How am I too late? I thee no man at your thide. If he hath yet to marry you, I would duel him for the honor."

When it ended, the mischievous Duchess of Idapur finally glanced at the young knight, as if noticing him for the first time.

"Love, are you done here?" she asked Arya, while still looking Gaston up and down. "We've got things to do. I'll be waiting... don't take too long."

Adaria returned her gaze to the Duchess of Nahad, winked, and then started walking towards a visible doorway opposite the hidden one.

"Gaston. My title binds me. While I'm sure your offer is well intentioned, there are three things stopping you. One, is that I have no love for Arcaea or anything from it. Two, I'm only permitted to be with someone accepted into the Thieves' Guild. As Princess of Thieves, I can invite people, however, the final say goes to my parents, the King and Queen of Thieves. Finally, three, is that I've made a blood pact to Duchess Adaria."

She held up a finger. "It's not that I have no love for men. Adaria just won me over first. Also, I don't want to be some trophy wife. I am more than capable of taking care of myself. If you find yourself attempting to duel Adaria over me, don't bother. My blade will find you before you can harm a hair on her body."

"Ducheth, I have naught to offer you that can pothibly compare to what Ducheth Adaria can give you--at leatht for now. And I would never duel a lady ath fine ath either of you. Thith Thieveth Guild you mention ith interethting--could I become a member?"
