The War of Three Kings — IC

[ratwizard]

The coarse hair on Brannik's neck prickles up as he hears commotion in the village. He grips his warhammer, ready to defend the villagers from whatever may come. "Looks like we've got to fight for our meals tonight. No bother," the dwarf notes, confidently. Come out, come out, little bandit bastards.

The commotion appears to be focused in the centre of the village and Powle leads you past a couple of buildings until the village opens up slightly into a small square with a well in the centre. You spot a band of nine men wielding weapons, they don't carry the banner of any Lord. Four unarmed women wrestle with several of the men.

Go: Chloe, Adrian, Kass

Only bandits, good. This will be quick. As he takes in the sight ahead, Adrian notes the locations of his foes and quickly devises a course of action. Motioning his lover to focus on the women in danger, he rushes into the fray. As he runs, Chloë sends a powerful gust of wind at the men in the south, buffeting them but leaving the woman they're harassing free to escape.

As the two men are occupied with Chloë's conjuration, Adrian closes in on the nearest of the men to him and lands a powerful blow that knocks him to the ground. Swiftly, while the man is down, Adrian rushes over to the other two near to him and lends another solid blow, sending one of the two bandits reeling backwards in pain. It seems fate is not on the side of these men today.

Spurred on by the more-than-impressive blur of the Wind Dancer, the Bull in turn breaks loose from a light jog into a lumbering run. Rounding the corner of the house with momentum, he witnesses Adrian and his ally buffet the bandits with precision and prowess. Good gods, there're more than a few of these rats.

Lurching forward, Brannik puts great force behind his charging swing at one of the wounded bandits. The head of his warhammer catches the man in the ribcage, caving his ventral cavity in and giving way to obvious crunching of bone and flesh matter within. The man collapses to the dirt, very dead. "This village is under our protection, you blasted thugs! Scatter like the vermin you are!" he roars, spinning to face the assortment of the brigands.

Seeing the brigands gathered nearby, Chloë cautiously approaches and unleashes another torrent of wind, one which ignores her allies and buffets her foes. The powerful wind pushes all three men towards the well, threatening to send them falling into the depths below.

Further south, Adrian ignores the hobbled man besides him - who is still tormented by Chloë's original gust - and rushes to face the apparent leader of the bandits. "A coward like you deserves a slow death, but I will be merciful and grant you a swift one," the man says as he barrels into his foe, adeptly maneuvering around him in the process. While the man still reels from the blow he violently shoves him forward, falling towards the well as well.

They swing their weapons at him but he slaps them aside with the haft of his warhammer as he passes. With a roar, Brannik sweeps the mighty weapon into the legs of the leader with a sickening slam. The man goes sideways, catching brief airtime, before slamming painfully to the ground. The dwarf nods to Adrian before turning back to face one of the bandits he'd evaded. "You're next, ya pasty bastard," he shouts at him.

With the foes immediately near him pushed away by Chloe's arcane forces, Wes decides to bridge the gap the quicker way that walking. Etherealizing, the knight soon appears on the opposite side of the well, next to the downed leader.

Wes surprises the leader by appearing in front of him and drives his blade through the man's throat. As you pull your sword out he collapses to the floor, dead. Powle's attack is parried in the ensuing melee. Brannik is struck by one of the men he barrelled past previously. Surrounded, Kass is attacked from all sides in quick succession with two of the blows landing. The bandit yet to enter the fray makes his way over to Adrian, sword at the ready. Theun and Rowan also attack once more, although Rowan fails yet again to hit his target.

Helping to surround the bandits battered and beaten around the well, Gemma slides in and lets out a war-cry. Her bloodcurdling screech causes her enemies to lose focus.

Although worn from her previous injuries as well as her new ones, Kass doesn't quite give up yet. She slashes at the bandit directly in front of her, causing him to lose his balance and plummet into the well. Knowing the fight is far from over, she hastily works to bandage herself up before another foe lashes out at her.

Seeing his cousin in peril, Wes focuses his arcane energies on her and teleports her into safety, teleporting himself into the midst of the fray as well. How about you two do yourselves a favor and join your pals in that well," Wes says snarkily as he sweeps his blade at the foes surrounding him.

Powle rushes up to the unsurrounded bandit and attacks, however the bandit parries the attack and replies with more success. The other bandit left standing seems affected by Adrian's electrical powers, but he quickly shakes it off and lands a hard strike on Brannik.

Having partially treated her new wounds, Kass feels up to the fight once more and rushes in, swiping at the foe with her blade.

"That's funny," Wes says to Adrian, noticing his teleportation. "I can do your little trick!" he shouts before he vanishes once more with a childish giggle. He reappears next to a remaining bandit, perfectly mimicking the thunderous effects the Gleiosian had produced. I hope he didn't think he was special in knowing how to do that.

Turning to face the well, he calls to the last of the bandits. "Your comrades are dead and you are in no position to fight back. I suggest you surrender, lest you add another corpse and a whole lot of inconvenience for this small village."

As Adrian and Brannik finish off two of the bandits, Powle walks over to the well and picks up a rock. He drops in on the remaining bandit which causes the man to slip and plummet to his death. "Well those two will be annoying to get out," He says, peering down the well at the two bodies. With all the bandits dead, the women come over thanking you for helping them. You take a moment to catch your breath.

Brannik drops to a knee, his breath labored after the last bandit in the well is dispatched. "So be it," he says, with a raised eyebrow. "It's your well to put bandit corpses in if you'd like." The dwarf turns to Gemma, who looks to be catching her breath as well. "Good work out there. You're getting better with that damned spear," the man admits.

"I don't think they'll have much of a choice in the matter," Wes responds to Adrian. "I've read that some dark magic is behind whatever evidently causes the dead to rise. The Priestesses of Inara up north apparently dedicate their lives to keeping the dead dead."

With his own breath caught, the Menoran walks over to his cousin, having been worried about her for much of the fight but proud of her as well. "You fought hard, Kass. Not many people could hold their own while surrounded like that."

[ratwizard]

"Dark magic indeed," Brannik says, suddenly solemn. "But that is a discussion for another time. Let us see to clearing the village of these slain men for now. The men and women here have been traumatized enough for a day." He begins to drag one of the bodies away from the town square to its edges. He pauses, looking up to Powle and the others. "In my culture it is sacred to bury even your own enemy. But I tread on your ground, and your traditions shall be upkept as such, not mine. Shall we prepare a pyre or might you have a cemetary?"

[Namelessjake]

Gemma nods in agreement with Brannik. "Still not quite you with that hammer."

"I'm fine," Chloë replies to Adrian. "No worse off than I was before anyway," she says with a smile.

"There's some place we can bury em," Theun says, grabbing hold of one of the bodies. "Rowan," he says, and the other man joins him. Together they lift the body onto the cart Kass had moved earlier.

"We can handle this. You lot should get those wounds looked at. Thanks for the help though, I don't know what we've have done without you today," Rowan says as the two men make their way other to another corpse.

"Yeah thank you," Powle adds. "Come," he says, leading the group inside.

Long Rest

---

Most of the next few days are spent resting in bed. Rowan's mother, the village healer, strongly enforcing it as a rule. However the rest does you good, allowing your wounds to start to mend. A welcome break from the fighting and marching of the last couple of weeks. Once you are fit enough and Rowan's mother allows it, you start to show the peasants how to fight, training for a few hours a day.

After a week at the village recovering you decide it is time to leave. As you eat breakfast with the villagers on the day you plan to leave, Theun asks a question. "So, what'll you do now? Return to your Lords and go back to fighting each other?"

[Fialova]

"I suppose that depends more on Chloë," Adrian responds to the man between bites. "Ademar was her liege, not my own. I do not even hail from these lands, I've little concern for who rules over them." He takes a few more bites before a thought pops into his head. "I do have issue with these bandits taking advantage of the strife, though. I've half a mind to show them all the errors of their ways." I can only imagine how many other small villages were beset in similar fashion, with no such defense.

[Scratcherclaw]

"I'm not sure, actually," Wes says with his mouth full of bread. After swallowing the bread, he adds, "My Lord probably thinks Kass and I are dead, if he's even heard any news of the battle. And although I still owe my allegiance to him, I'm not sure I can continue to turn my back on the same people I swore to protect." Even if they do smell bad...

"Besides," he says after a gulp of milk, "I'd prefer living a little longer. And I'd rather not go through another near-death experience like Parth." It may be selfish to care only for myself, but are these three kings not doing the same thing?

[ratwizard]

The dwarf scarfs down his breakfast. "I offered my allegiance to the Hollowguard and their mission, not a pretender king," Brannik admits, frustrated. "I had my doubts about the Lord of the Hollow swallowing up our ranks, but I didn't imagine it would lead to political instability this crippling. I can't speak for Gemma, and I don't intend to set a poor example, but I am seriously reconsidering the mission laid out to me by my superiors."

[Namelessjake]

"Where you go, I'll follow," Chloë replies to Adrian, her feelings for her lover clearly more important to her than her allegiance to her king.

"The same goes for you," Gemma says to Brannik, echoing Chloe's words.

"Me too," Kass says, looking at Wes.

"Well if you plan on doing more of what you did last week, then you have my sword," Rowan says.

"And my axe!" Theun interjects. "This war is far from over and our village won't be the only one that suffers. A small won't make much difference, but it'll make the difference for those we do manage to protect."

"Well someone has to stay here to work the fields and keep watch, I guess it's me," Powle says. "You lot will always be welcome here though. You've done us a great service we won't forgot," he says.

[ratwizard]

"Do you know where the bastards we just buried came from?" Brannik asks the residents. "I'm sure there are more of them waiting to be purged from the land. Going after scum like those that attacked your hamlet seems more of a use for our talent then murdering each other in a sack-of-shit war like the one going on."

[Fialova]

Adrian flashes Chloë a quick smile at her response, glad to not have to choose between her wishes and his urge to punish outlaws for their crimes. "Well if Chloë doesn't care, then I'm in," Adrian responds to Brannik. "I must say, I am a little excited to hunt these bastards down. I've mostly funded myself in this land by defending travelers from the cowards, it will be nice to track them down and get rid of them before they can prey on someone."

With a look of concern, he turns to the eager villagers. "However, I don't know if you two are best served tagging along. Your eagerness to help is admirable, but who will defend your village should it be beset again? Powle alone? I cannot see things going well should you leave this place so unguarded." It is one thing to seek glory, but not at the expense of others. You'd think after last week's events they'd be committed to the safety of this place, yet they are so willing to venture away from it? The fools.

"Glad to have you with me, cousin!" Wes responds to Kass, happy that she's remaining where he can keep her from getting killed. "That sounds like a fine way to make a living," the boy remarks to Adrian, admiring his dedication to protecting the land's people.

"I'm inclined to agree with Adrian," Wes mentions, unsure of the peasants' plans. "Like you said, this war will bring more of these bandits, and I'd hate for the village to fall victim to them again."

"I've got an idea about who they mighta been," Theun says. "I'm pretty sure I recognised a couple of them. Seen them in town on market days, so they're probably from another village nearby."

"I guess I'll stay here and help Powle then," Rowan says, noticeably a bit disheartened. "If you ever need me though, I'll be happy to help," he adds.

"A group of knights and their companions roaming the countryside hunting down bandits and protecting the commonfolk. It's like something out of the songs," Gemma says with a small laugh.

"Those aspects of knighthood have been forgotten by most of the nobles these days." Powle says. "You're bound to win friends on the Steppe."

"Our jobs aren't as glorious as they sound," Brannik warns to Rowan after noticing his disappointed look. "There is honor in protecting your home and family, Rowan." He flashes the man a quick smile.

The dwarf nods in agreement to Gemma and Powle's words. "While amusing, being the subject of folk tales is not where I find my worth. No, value is found in bringing safety and stability to these wartorn regions. Perhaps we should travel to the nearby villages. We may be able to get a clue to where their stronghold is."

Wes lightly frowns at Rowan's somewhat crushed spirit, saying, "Brannik speaks the truth. Glory does not measure the worth of a person anyways, but instead their willingness to protect those they love. And you can best accomplish that here." Wes grins at the peasant man, gesturing at the other villagers.

At Gemma's statement, the Menoran chuckles lightly. "May they sing of our deeds from Erlfeld to Vrannitch!" he utters jovially, beaming brightly. Regaining his composure, he adds, "But yes, traveling to the other villages sounds like a plan. They may too be in need of our assistance."

Adrian does not speak more to Rowan, having little to add. I have left my own home in search of glory, I cannot in good conscience reject that path in front of this man. But he'd be a fool to leave it undefended, something I did not do. "If they do sing tales of our deeds, then that only means we need to think of a nickname for Wes even more quickly. 'The Bull, the Wind Dancer, and Wes,' makes for a strange title."

Turning to the villagers, he says, "How many villages are nearby, and which is closest? We can make our way between them all, defending from similar attacks should we encounter them while searching for the source of the raids. If you recognized some of their faces then surely others will too."

"There's a few," Theun says. "The closest is a few miles North, but if my thinking is right then we'll want to head to one to the East. About a day's journey on foot, he adds. "One of them was definitely from there."

[ratwizard]

"It's been a week. The villagers to the east are sure to know that their man has gone missing at this point. Let's hope they aren't selfish scum like those that attacked your village," Brannik says. There's land enough to feed all. I can only wish that stability can return to this region.

[Fialova]

"East is fine by me," Adrian responds. I can't imagine they differ too much from one another. The Tulrissians are many things, but creative is not one of them. "If it is a day's journey then we should head out soon, lest we get stuck trudging in the darkness or, worse, camping in the wild."
