Lucilla goes to prison

You were captured by Vlaanderen forces during the battle in Naraka.

Lucilla suddenly woke up. She had no idea where she was. It took a few moments before her eyes adjusted to the dim light. Only then she realized she was behind bars, in a cold, windowless room. Apart from the bed she was lying on, she couldn’t see any other objects in the room.

What the…!?! Where am I?” she asked herself.

You are still in prison and will be held captive for 6 more days unless you escape or pay ransom. The new ransom has been set to 157 gold.

And then it all came back to her…the battle, the sound of the arrows flying thought he air, the clashing of the swords, the shouts of the knights encouraging their troops, the terrible screams of those who were injured and a sharp pain in the back of her neck. And then it struck her:

Bloody hell! I got captured.” she thought.

She got up from the bed and started to explore the room. “I wonder if there’s any way to escape from here…” She noticed there were some phrases written on the walls of the cell (“I’m bored”, signed Sir Thomas, ||||| ||||| |||, “All days are nights to see till I see thee, And nights bright days when dreams do show thee me”, “I will not fear, fear is the mind killer, I will not fear, fear is the mind killer, I will not fear…”), but found nothing that could help her escape.

You have made friends with a guard during the long and lonely night, and he is slipping news from the outside world into your cell (no need to bribe anyone today).

Oooh, looks who’s up!” she heard someone say. Looking out on the hallway, she could see one of the guards. He seemed to stumble on his feet and when he got closer, Lucilla sensed the strong smell of alcohol. “Someone seems to have drank a bit too much.” she thought. “I wonder if I could use this to my advantage”.

Greetings. I woke up a few minutes ago and was just exploring my room. I didn’t realize I was making so much noise, I’m sorry I disturbed you” she told the guard thinking, “I hope he’s drunk enough not to notice I’m mocking him”.

Don’t worry dear, you didn’t disturb me. I was sitting alone in my room, trying to find a way to pass the time. I heard someone moving and I came to see who it was” the guard replied, and Lucilla realized he had no idea she was mocking him.

I was the one moving, I was trying to find a way to escape.

Oh… Did you find one?

Not yet

Oh.

You seem like a nice guy. Why did you choose to become a prison guard? Isn’t this an awfully boring job? I mean sitting there in your post, not having anyone to talk too, can’t be really fun, can it?

The guard sat down on the floor near the bars from Lucilla’s room, took a flask out of his jacket, took a gulp, put the flask back in his pocket and started talking. He told Lucilla the story of his life, how he was the son of a poor peasant, how he spent his childhood working on the small piece of land his family owned, how he ran away to become a knight, how he managed to get into the academy, how he was forced to leave the academy after being involved in a scandal and ended up as a prison guard. He also told her about the town he was living in, Naraka. Lucilla found out the town history and lots of pieces of information about various inhabitants of Naraka. But she also found out information about the latest happenings in Naraka, about the battles she took place in, about the battle when she got captured, and also about what had happened after she got captured.

The guard continued to talk and drink the strong smelling drink in his flask for a few hours, when, with a loud thud, he fell asleep on the floor...


Lucilla escapes from prison

You are still in prison and will be held captive for 5 more days unless you escape or pay ransom. The new ransom has been set to 66 gold.

When Lucilla woke up the next morning, the guard was no longer sleeping outside her cell. He was not in his post either. Another guard was patrolling on the hallway. This one, Lucilla observed, not only looked stronger and more fiercesome than the other, but he was also sober. „There's no way i'll manage to find out some news from the outside from this guy.“ Lucilla thought.

Bribing a guard, you manage to escape from your prison in Reeds!

The following day, Lucilla gladly noticed that the guard she had befriended just two days ago was on duty again. Also, he had been spending some time with his friend ale again. Lucilla started talking to him, and this time, with a few sidelong glances and wry smiles, it didn't take her long to persuade him to let her out in exchange for some gold coins to buy some more of his precious bitter drink...

As soon as she left the prison, Lucilla started towards her camp. On the way, she tried to find out what had happened to her fellow Heenites while she was in prison. The news were terrible...

Erin O'Deaghaidh, Count of Sotrebar has been killed during the battle in Naraka.

My ears must be deceiving me!“ Lucilla told the messenger who brought her the news. „This can't true!

I am afraid it is, m'lady“ was the reply she got.

Lucilla stared blankly for a few moments, then turned her back to the messenger and continued her way towards her camp in deep silence.

She felt a great loss had been bestowed, not so much on herself, for she did not quite get to know Erin O'Deaghaidh, but on Heen. The realm has lost one of its bravest knights, a great man, a hero.
