DISCLAIMER
As our regular Court Correspondent was otherwise occupied, we at the
Roomer Mill find ourselves dependent upon somewhat less than complete
notes for this week. We therefore apologize in advance for any
events or
details that may be overlooked, or any inaccuracies in our reporting.
Just remember: they're only roomers!
GARMENTS G-G-G-GONE
Ohmuhlourd F-f-f-fritz reported tonight that someone had stolen his
clothes. Not sure what that's all about, but we wish him the
best of luck in recovering them.
VAYA CON VIVEK
The wizard Vivek, formerly in the employ of Duke Lorath of Windsor,
announced tonight that he is leaving the Eleven Lands. Apparently
he is
going to train Runa, the daughter of Marquessa Catalyn and the late
Queen Morganse of Alexia, in the Art of magic. He also told the Court
that he did not trust the High Druin as a result of the changes in Earl
Mus'
behavior over the past couple of weeks.
GREENWOOD WITH ENVY
Two characters hailing from the Kingdom of Greenwood appeared in Court
this e'en. The first was a bounty hunter named Kyle, who had come
looking to apprehend "an Adder" on charges of murder, rape, and torture.
Astute readers will remember that Greenwood is the new name of the
country of Wiltshire, the homeland of Sirrah Adder, whose brother
recently followed him to Warwick seeking (and receiving) asylum.
Shortly after Kyle's appearance in Court, another visitor arrived.
Lord Emilio
DeCascos was an official diplomatic envoy who sought to extradite the
Adder criminals currently under protection from the crown here in Warwick.
Both bounty hunter and noble ambassador were given the same answer: no.
The pair were ejected from the Courtroom when they began arguing heatedly
over the apparent lack of respect one gave to the other.
ONE HELL OF A NIGHT
Over the course of the evening, despite several interruptions, the
Fortune's Folly page class told the story of their quest in the Dreamlands
which resulted in their squiring.
IN SEARCH OF: KYNNIARC'S DAGGER
The Purple Mercenaries, a band of loud and obnoxious people wearing
little more than boxer shorts, came to Court this e'en to deliver Kynniarc's
long lost Caerna dagger. For some reason, they chose to break the
dagger into six pieces, which were then given to the queen, who is also
thane of Clan Caerna.
DUCK, IAGONDOL!
Damsel Duck was clanned by the IaGondols tonight, and was apparently
challenged to find the source of zabumple.
AURELIA MISS YOU
Night Aurelia announced in Court this e'en that she would be leaving
the
Eleven Lands and travelling to the north to explore and expand her
horizons. She was given a wreath of flowers and a pair of fairy
wings by
the Fortune's Folly pages as going-away presents.
THEY DO DECLARE!
The three Fortune's Folly pages in attendence this e'en declared their
intentions to pursue three different knighthoods. For Mudd, it
was
Lancelot; for Duck, it was Percival; and for Adder, it was Gawaine.
Best
of luck to these most un-lazy squires!
DANNY KAYE? NO, PALLY-A!
Sir Aeric Bannier became Paladin Aeric Bannier (of the Sacred Order
of
Michael) tonight, as he was ordained in a unique ceremony by Earl Mus
and Lord Dragonsbane. Congrats!
MAD MUS
Earl Mus expressed his displeasure when he discovered that Duke Lorath
had brought one of the anti-Mus wards created by a faction of the Mage's
Tower into Court, presumably to show it to the Companions. It
was also
shown that the ward did not work as well, if at all, in the Courtroom.
Duke Lorath hastily apologized and removed the ward from the Courtroom.
OH, SHIT!
Sir Marduk reported that his sting operation over the Thanksgiving
holiday was a success in that the remaining dragon extract was now
in the
hands of the Companions, but chose not to tell the full tale until
both
Sirrah Valric and Sirrah Adder (who aided him on this venture) were
there to add to the telling. |
