>>5931864>>5931904>>5931939>>5932079Understanding that the arrival of vile "adventurers" on your lands must be punished harshly you decided to confront them. Ordering your men to bring you your chainmail (you thought about acquiring some pages or even a squire for this task, it will be necessary once you will have more lands). And you decided to be ready to confront such trespassers on the roads of your demesne. Because of the lack of horses your men behind you were on foot, only Godefroi and brother Louis being mounted. Father François decided to come with you, as to bless the troops and maybe to negotiate, just as Captain Crumbling as the guard's captain. Only Rose, because of her sex, and Oldfossil, because of his wounds, were left behind. In thirty minutes you had left at the head of twenty good men to intercept these adventurers. Denarius, who you had decided to hide in your castle, had told you that there were four of them and they were mounted.
You decided to stay in the village, to not be seen on the road, least your troops would be spotted in the plains and the riders would not spring into your trap. You decided to leave the castle, since the day, if snowy earlier, was clear in the afternoon, and you had a good view upon the west from the battlements. When you saw four riders approaching you knew that it was them. And you ordered your soldiers to sally forth.
You got them right near the bridge separating your castle lands from the village of Local, you hid your men under it and when the riders were on it they sprang forth and you appeared from behind some houses on your horses with Godefroi and brother Louis. It was then that you remarked that there were in fact not four but five riders, one of the horses, a powerful brown horse that you saw somewhere, was carrying two persons, one of them being a short scotsman who could not ride it on his own.
