The Meeting





The hour had finally come, night fell over the land and with it came the promise of knowledge. Evelyn gathered Marcus before heading down into the catacombs of Loringrad Castle. The entrance was a large pair of doors, ornate and bearing the family crest of King Gregor and his children. Evelyn paused for a moment to check if they'd been followed before entering the tomb. Pushing against the old and heavy doors, Evelyn dreaded the loud creaking as the way was opened for them. A long set of steps descended into the dark, illuminated in segments by torches left lit by another. Down the three Templars went, into the home of the royal dead before reaching the end. The main chamber was large and provided a number of good hiding places.

"Be on your guard", the Knight-Captain ordered Marco but a voice from within the darkness countered. "You've nothing to fear, I come as an ally", whoever it was that spoke owned a voice which was coarse and carried an air of suspicion about it.

Evelyn immediately reacted by preparing a lightning bolt in her hand. She scanned the room looking for where their informant was hiding. It did not take long before he revealed himself...and several others. Out of the darkness came several individuals wearing black cloaks, each with their faces hidden but it was clear they were all armed. It was clear now that coming here was a mistake, the two of them had fallen into a trap.

Just as their attackers began to approach, their apparent leader dropped to the floor. The others stepped back in surprise as they realized he was dead. Before anything could be done another had fallen, then another, and another, until ever last one lay dead on the floor with their blood pooling on the floor of the royal tomb. Evelyn watched carefully, her eyes going wild as she tried desperately to located the cause of this. It wasn't until a familiar voice echoed through the chamber did she realize who it was."It seems we meet again, Captain. Much like our prior encounter if I recall. Hopefully this time on better terms", the assassin Red revealed herself as her invisibility spell dissipated. Evelyn sheathed her sword but kept her hand on the hilt. Giving Marcus the signal to be at ease she spoke, "I was told we'd meet again, though I did not expect this soon"

Red did not give that familiar smile she once bore so often. Now she was dead serious as her face was just as stern as Evelyn's. "Marcus' work I bet. I hope he did not speak too much. That'd be unfortunate for the both of us", Red said calmly as she walked over to one of the Dead bodies. Grabbing it by the head she revealed the body to have had its throat slit, rather slashed open, by a very precise blade. Evelyn remained where she stood, getting a good look at the assassin's handiwork. "Why would that be unfortunate?", she asked "We only stand to gain through mutual sharing of knowledge".

"Not true, captain. While you know nothing of us we know practically everything about you and your men. My leader, he values secrecy, believing that by working through the shadows we are more efficient. Should word of what we really are get loose, you, your men, and anyone involved with the leaking of such information will be killed. Including myself and Marcus", Red flipped the body over on its back before searching the contents of its clothing. "That being said, I shall tell you of what we are in the hopes you have enough sense to grasp the severity of such information", Red pulled a strange object from the pocket of the cultist before putting it in a pouch of her own. Satisfied with her search she stood up and faced the three knights, "My name is Tyr, and I am a member of The Watchers of Serenity. We are an order that was created from your own. Our goals are the same but our methods are different. While you lot fight the monsters who stalk the wilderness, we hunt the monsters who prowl the royal courts. Our influence stretches from the nalrokar islands to the western forests and we ensure the sphered of influence are kept under "

"Why have I never heard of you? Surely someone must have discovered your existence"

"A good number have over the years. They're all dead because of it. However none of this is important, what is important is what you plan to do in the following days. I've been watching you during your investigation, good work in discovering the poison by the way. However you may have set yourself back by bringing it to the king"

"His children can't possibly be responsible, that's insane, he's their father!"

"And you believe that to be enough? This is the throne of Farendar, whomever sits upon that throne controls half of the world. His children are just as, if not more likely to be the culprits for their succession won't be questioned.

Evelyn became sullen at the thought of one of her childhood friends plotting to murder the king. "What do your propose then?", she asked, letting her hand off of her sword.

"To put it bluntly we find out who and deal with them. More specifically we shadow their activity, discover what backing they have if any, and work the chain until we have considerable evidence to bring to the king", Tyr walked back to where one of the bodies lay still leaking blood. Unsheathing her sword she cleaved the head clean off of the body before bagging it and tossing it towards Evelyn. "Bring it to his Majesty, tell him what happened here but leave me out of it. I don't need to retell the consequences should you do so", Tyr ripped a part of the cloak off from the dead cultist to clean her blade of the blood before sheathing it. "In the meantime I must get to work, hopefully I will find something to hurry this investigation before our enemy's plan comes to fruition". Tyr began casting her invisibility spell, in truth it did not take much effort as a single hand sign activated the magic.

"Wait! You haven't told me how to contact you", at this point Tyr was gone but her voice could still be heard. "I'll find you when the time is right", with that the Watcher was gone. Evelyn turned Marco with a look of worry and bewilderment. "The King has gone to sleep already, what in the hell are we to do with this?", she said with annoyance as she held up the bagged head.


somehow...I missed this part. I didn't see it until now

FUCK! I feel so stupid.

My post had Kaathe meet your character at the castle gates, but you changed it to the courts, so I have to change my own post

@OtomostheCrazy sorry about that but it didn't make sense to deliver medicine to a dead man.

I have to apologize for the extremely short post. I normally do not write like that, but I feel I can't wait to even attempt to cover all the reactive-posting I would do after the sheer volumes of text you guys have been spewing. I just want to get in the scene.

And speaking of getting in the scene, i have to admit I'm feeling kind of down about these long, communal posts that other players are getting to do, that I, and several others, are being excluded from. I understand the several of you were merely covering a lot of backstory for your current characters, but how about the rest of us? We have backstories too. I feel like it's not fair that we don't get to participate.

@Wraithblade6 Instead of complaining, perhaps take the initiative and tell them. "I would like to be involved if you dont mind" that way they can add you in.

@Wraithblade6I got just the thing. After I reply to Leoric's latest post most likely Zelosse will post the collab we've been working on. You and I can then collab and have Damien bring news to Evelyn.

If anyone else feels left out then let me know now. Also I don't know if I got everyone's character in the character tab so if I didn't then let me know.

Our intention was not to alienate anyone. The collab i posted was from 5 people who got accepted at the same time. We didnt think it'd negatively effect anyone. Please if you want to do a collab, please pm me, im open to exploring back story and creating ic relationships

I have in effect, done so.

Thank you for understanding, @TheDarkTemplar

@LeoricAquila Thank you. I wouldn't say that other people collaborating affects me negatively. I just didn't want to be left in the shadows. And yes, you guys all outrank Damien.

Okay, I finally found time to edit my post.

Since @Yennefer's character was stuck in the courtroom, I decided to have Kaathe be there as well, since two characters near each other is better than one being alone.
