Report: Gargoyles

[Snudrud]

When: wednesday.8.11.06

Lead by: Roland

Attended by: Snudrud, Mela,Hoagie, Mirael

Roland had sent us on a quest to aquire the book of hounor. We heard that Sir Keith, might know where it was, so we went searching for this Keith. We found him at the barrcks, but.....he had a problem, he was looking for the book too, but he had to escort a gargoyle ambassador named K'lor back to his home city safely.... So we came to an agreement, that we should escort the amassador home safely, and he'd look for the book. We met the ambassador and we were off!




We had to fight our way clear, and it wasn't a dance on roses! We's fought valantly, especially our favorite goblin, Snudrud!



We manged to bring the gargoyle home! As we were heading home, we were ambushed by a 21 foot monster!



When we had fought our way back to Trinsic,  Keith had found the book! We aquired the book!

The moment of truth!



We had done the task assigned us, and there was much cheering!
We lived happily ever after.....until Snud took Melas diamond, so at least the goblin lived happily ever after!

Snudrud. ( this is written by a clerc, beacuse old Snudders can't write)

OOC: Mela deserves the credit for leading, since Roland didn't go.  'Interesting' report, just as well it wasn't the Book of Honesty you were looking for.

The Book of Honour

By Redren Mallor

   
   "To thee, Lord Randall, I vow fealty and shall serve thee fully and wholly.  I, Guy du Bois, so swear on my life and honour."  The paladin knelt, both hands resting on the pommel of his sword as it's tip rose up from the chipped flagstone.
   Lord Randall looked down gravely and nodded once.  Tapping the squire's shoulders with his ceremonial sword he solemnly replied, "And thus do I accept thy service, Guy du Bois, and knight thee accordingly.  You knelt as a squire.  Now rise as a Paladin of Trinsic.  Rise, Sir Guy and do thy duty."
   Guy slowly got to his feet and with the cheers of the assembled warriors ringing in his ears, he joined the ranks of the paladins before him, humbly accepting their congratulations. 
   That ceremony done, Lord Randall faced the assembled knights and warriors.  "Our King has given us a mission, a mission of vital importance.  Despite the stability he has brought to the realm, there are still those who oppose our Liege, Lord British and his newly instated Virtues.  To the south of Trinsic, a group of these rebels have assembled.  We are to investigate and if necessary, end the threat.  Our friends from Jhelom shall patrol the lands near Trinsic whilst I lead my knights southward to investigate this emcampent.  And take action if necessary."

Several days later, Lord Randall and his Household knights approached the rebel camp.  Giving their horses time to rest, a scout was sent to investigate the camp.  When she returned, her report made it clear the camp, whilst heavily guarded, was not military in nature.  Families worked and seemed determined to make it a permanent settlement.  But Lord Randall was displeased at the thought of a settlement of potential enemies near his lands, which were situated just south of Trinsic.  The thought of battle seemed to excite him and he assembled his knights.
   "My loyal knights!  We have found our enemy.  And in the name of the King, we shall crush them!  No prisoners."
   The scout, a Ranger from Skara Brae, was shocked.  As was Sir Guy.  She tried to remonstrate with Lord Randall but he rebuffed her.  Realising the futility, she vowed to report the Lord's actions to the King and made as if to leave.  The lord made a curt gesture and one of his knights cut her down. 
   Lord Randall turned to his knights.  "You heard the order! Mount up and prepare to charge.  Everyone of you is sworn to me, I expect and require you to do your duty!" 

The knights mounted and formed a wedge.  Then they charged.  Sir Guy would never forget the ensuing slaughter.  Even the unarmed were butchered without mercy, the camp taken by surprise and unable to withstand heavy cavalry.  At first, Sir Guy was careful to attack only those bearing arms but a young woman broke free from the carnage and tried to flee.
   Lord Randall saw her.  "Sir Guy, ride her down!" 
   Guy froze, hesitating. 
   "Ride her down I said!  Do your duty, sir!"
   
Guy charged, quickly caught up with the fleeing woman, and with merciful quickness, bludgeoned her with his sword, killing her in a heartbeat.

As thee knights rode home, Lord Randall commanded them to silence, claiming what they did was in the best interests of the Crown, but by necessity would need to be kept secret.  Sir Guy was torn.  Justice demanded he report the slaughter, but he was oathsworn to Lord Randall and his Honour demanded he obeyed his lord in all things.  He kept his silence. 

Lord Randall's madness grew stronger and eventually came to the notice of the King, the slaughters and brutaility reported by another of Randall's knights, one who could keep his silence no longer.  Eventually his fort was stormed by the King's soldiers and Randall was hung, most of his knights slain.  Among the survivors was Sir Guy, who was imprisoned, but never once betrayed his lord, regretting only that he had pledged himself to a tyrant.

Thus endeth the Book of Honour.

Veldrin's got a thread on English-American grammar, take a look. 6. The Germans did not speak English, they spoke several languages, and definetly not English. English is a language made up of various other languages, Norse, Latin, French, diverse Germanic languages etc. And mods... Lock this]
