WHAT? NO HANGMAN? HOW ABOUT HEADS-UP SEVEN-UP?
The weather was kinda frightful this week, so it was no suprise that
for the first hour of Court, the only ones in attendence were King Mus,
Her Eminence Ambernathia, and Sir Aeric, who has no life and therefore
nothing to keep him from coming to Court on time.
THE INCREDIBLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING...COMPANIONS
These three Companions, faced with little or no company forthcoming,
quickly dropped all pretenses of nobility and etiquette and became Extremely
Silly. This set the tone for the rest of the evening, for in time
the full Court DID arrive, and joined in the fun. It was a welcome
respite from all the gloom and doom of the war up north.
NICE HAT, TODD
In a blatant attempt to "bite Sir Lucerne's style," Sir Aeric wore
a jaunty, if slightly-used, cavalier hat to Court this week. He claimed
that it was a gift from his master-sergeant's wife, but we all know better.
PUPPET PERFORMANCE PENDING! PREPARE!
Sir Danzig announced that he and a few other Companions would be entertaining
the Court next week with a puppet show, making good use of the generous
size of the Court curtain to hide the performers. All look forward
to the continuing merriment and lightheartedness in the Court.
FROM CRAZY CAERNA TO MERRY WIDOW
The Widow Dragonsbane, who as of late has been suffering from regression
brought on by the traumatic events surrounding the death of her wife and
the abduction of her baby, is apparently sane again. Her madness
was cured when she was visited in the night by a mysterious, black-clad
individual who entered her body and left through the window afterwards.
Sir Aeric was unavailable for comment.
AMBERNATHIA ANNOUNCES AMBITION
The High Druin declared for fourth-level Merlin(!) this week.
She was torn between Merlin and third-level Kay, but after drawing a runestone
which read "magic," her mind was made up. Good luck, Muppet!
FANGORN FOUND BY ANGRY ANDERIANS
A scout from the northeastern kingdom of Anders visited the Court this
week, and informed the Companions that "Felonious" Fangorn Flynarrel, whose
recent amnesiac escapades have linked him with such characters as the evil
wizard Sarabrande, is now in the custody of Anders. The scout told
a story of how Fangorn was involved in some sort of demon-summoning ritual
with his new master, and decided to DOUBLE CROSS Sarabrande by offering
him as a sacrifice to the entity, thereby securing it's alegience to HIM
and him alone. Well, he didn't say as much, but it was implied. Honest.
Anyways, the Crimson Offender will remain in the custody of the Anderian
military until Queen Jillian returns from wherever she went and the proper
paperwork for his extradition can be filled out.
ANDERIANS STAND IDLE AS ORKS ATTACK
When asked by Sir Aeric as to the Anderian's secret for avoiding war
with the Horde which is now invading Warwick, the scout was quick to explain
that they watched the Horde from a mere hour's journey away as they marched
on Warwick, but were certain that the massive Ork army flying hundreds
of war pennants and standards, was merely going to GO AROUND the eleven
lands and contine south. The mistake was easily understandable, and
(as Sir Aeric was quick to point out) the pigeons bearing the messages
to Warwick warning them of the impending invasion were ASSUREDLY shot down
and eaten by the Orks.

Well, that's all for this week, True Believers!
