-Let them enter the castle and prepare to greet them, we will see what they want.
Once dressed in an impressive and very fancy doublet you got downstairs, in your great hall. You sat on your throne with your guards and servants around you. Godefroi, Brother Louis, Ancel le Purineur, Oldfossil and Captain Crumbling were in the room, your councillors around you and Ancel near the doors. Lady Takable had decided to come too, as a guest, with her men, she was probably curious to see why would those so called adventurers come here. You greeted her before they entered, as the traditions of gallantry demanded and she seemed pleased to see you, but enough pleasure, it was time to rule.
When you ordered to let the adventurers enter you were even more astonished than by Murd, Ehhr, Hob and Beau, they were, if possible, even more strange. First you saw that there were not only men but two women two who were gallivanting and travelling from tavern to tavern, what a shameful display ! You knew that Lady Sue was an adventurer but you thought it was an exception, here you saw that two out of five persons of these delegation were of the fair sex. Had they not fathers or brothers to stop them from doing this ? But you were even more astonished by the rest of the group, one was looking a bit like the barbarian Murd that your men killed, but brown haired and bearded, he was armed with a sword and dressed in furs, leathers and an animal skull on his head, maybe helmets were expensive in his cold lands, but the other two were strange. One of them seemed to be a kind of cagot, but an armed cagot, in light armor, with a sword and a shield. You wondered how could he be threatening when you could probably just kick him and make him fly. The last man was a huge half man half lizard, you saw one of them at Someplace, a kind of priest and were impressed, these lizard men seemed to be head and shoulders above mere men, his armor was impractical but he must be able to compensate this with brute force. You remembered Lady Takable's words about Kobolds, she said they were small but maybe you saw two very big specimens. You should investigate. The ladies were not bad looking, one was all dressed in black, with black hair and black robes, maybe she had lost a relative ? It was probably why she was travelling, she carried a book too, so she was probably of good lineage. The second one was one of those pointy eared guelphs, she was very beautiful with light brown hair and a kind of wooden staff made of a tree branch, you regretted that a kind of strange green armor stopped you from assessing the size of her cleavage but a look from Lady Takable made you stop wondering about it. She was right, she was the lady of your love here and deserved all your attention. You made sign to Oldfossil to begin talking.
