You didn’t want to interrupt whatever girl talk was going on between Malevus and Monica and going to talk with Eligius and Normand could go either way. It would be better to leave them be and go talk with someone else.
The scoundrels, that being Sir Radan and the Rovers, started to have their discussion turn to something quite heated as all three had raised their voices in disagreement on whatever they were attempting to explain to each other. You didn’t know what it was and decided to not interrupt them either. So finally you decided to join Sir Gravis and the knights, they after all were good drinking companions in Durnholde and if you spent the evening, or at least part of it with them, you would probably have plenty of fun with them.
Taking your mug of beer with you, you took a chair and joined them. All five knights were still wearing their armours and you wondered, when they wouldn’t be wearing them? You didn’t remember seeing Sir Gravis without his trademark black plate mail before.
“Prince Alric! You decided to join us instead of the rest of your companions?” Sir Gravis asked you.
“Well… I didn’t want to interrupt whatever they were discussing or talking about.” You said back to the knight. “So I decided to join you, after all we had a quite fun time back in Durnholde.”
“Ahh, good times.” Sir Gravis said and leaned back on his chair. “But I don’t miss those days, you know we were in Durnholde Keep.”
“I understand and I take that as a compliment.” You chuckled and took a sip of your beer. “Sir Gravis, I wanted to ask you, what was that dropkick Joe did during the battle?”
“A nice little trick, wasn’t it Prince Alric.” Sir Gravis said and continued. “We had done it before and decided that hey it worked, why not do it again?”
“We did it once, during a bar fight.” Empleton said back to Sir Gravis.
“But it worked.” Joe, the shortest of the knights and the one who had delivered the kick. “They didn’t expect that.”
That definitely was true. You didn’t expect it either.
“So you did that in a bar fight and decided to do it again in a real battle?” You had to ask them. “What were you thinking? What if you had failed?”
All five knights looked at each other somewhat uncomfortably, they probably hadn’t thought this through well enough. This forced you to sigh deeply and finish your mug of beer.
“That being said, it did work, but I don’t know if it will work against a more trained and experienced foe.” You told the knights. “Take that in account if you are planning on doing it again.
“Will do Prince Alric, will do.” Sir Gravis said back to you and finished his mug of beer.
Then he ordered another round for all six of you. It will be a long night.
