>>5735523>>5735623>>5735869>>5736110Even if you wanted to hunt a lot you decided that dying of illness because of it was not worth it, and you wanted to enjoy the hunt without coughing or having to blow your nose. No, you decided to wait a bit, plot your revenge and go on a hunt later. You decided to train to read with Oldfossil before dinner and to talk about the knave that tried to kill you at dinner. So it was once an excellent stew and good wine were served that you began to explain your plights.
-My brave knights, dear Oldfossil, and dear Captain Crumbling, I have brought you here not only to eat and remind ourselves of past glories but I need your advice ! The attempt on my life could not go unpunished, the vile common born "lord" of Darkplace must be put back to his place, and I think that it is a grave. What are your opinions my dear men ?
They all looked at each other and Captain Crumbling spoke first.
-My lord, if we have all the proofs, and the girl's soul is saved she can witness before a court, the man will be punished, probably with the death penalty. We should tell the future baron, and the count about this.
You answered.
-With Oldfossil's help we wrote to our ally, lord Neutralsson, but I do not know who will be the future baron, we should wait.
While the captain nodded, and resumed to eat some chicken leg Oldfossil spoke with his characteristic soft tone.
-My lord, and dear Crumbling, with all due respect I must disagree. Trying to go the judicial route against someone with an army of assassin's and a guild to back him up and kill you would be most unwise. Justice, by definition, is slow, and public, and a dagger in the dark or a vial of poison is short. A part of me would want to murder the lord of Darkplace, answer with his own weapons, but it will be difficult, he is very aware of the techniques used for this and is, as an ancient spymaster for Baron Crook, probably better than us at this game. We could still try at the ceremony of inauguration of the next baron. If Baron Crook Wickedson looses his coronet, lands and titles a new baron will receive the fief from Count Careless and he will summon all of us to Someplace to swear him allegiance. It will be the time to strike, maybe with the help of the orc and your friend Denarius. But it will be very hard still...
