A Knight Off Duty (open)

[Kavran]

Kavran looked at Vakya and then turned around for a moment, searching the streets. The unnamed stranger from earlier had vanished without a trace, right in the middle of the fighting. He'd have to have him hunted up and debriefed. Information was a dangerous thing, no matter where you went or who you were. And he had seen or heard enough to become either a huge asset or a grievous liability. He nodded to himself and then turned back to face the other three in the group.

"Well, let's review. We were attacked by several thugs, all lower-class and inebriated. There is a strange letter here written entirely in code, and we have no clue as to its meaning or even if it was meant for the man who was currently holding it, or if he was supposed to deliver it... For the time being, I'd say that we treat this piece of our investigation as circumstantial. At the moment, we need to visit Wystern's contact and see what he can tell us. We need to know whether or not these Eyes exist, truly, or if this is deception or a jest in very poor taste."

Kavran then took a moment to collect his thoughts before speaking again, weighing out every word and making certain that he didn't do or say anything foolish or unnecessary.
"Vakya... You're a good man. You've shown us that, and you've also proven yourself just as dependable as anyone. Since you want to join up, I can't deny a fellow fighter. I'd be honored if you would join us. Besides... I want to hear the rest of that story of yours."

OOCI say that wraps this thread up, everyone. I responded to the PMs and I believe that everything is in tip-top shape. I look forward to continuing this with all of you.

Weighing in... XP Awarded Character: Kavran Experience: 2xp Bastard Sword, 2xp Rhetoric, 1xp Unarmed Combat Lore: Fighting in a Dark Street Note: Change the Sword skill on your sheet to the specific sword you use. Character: Kamrynn Sleightyr Experience: 2xp Short Sword, 1xp Shield, 1xp Acrobatics, 1xp Investigation Lore: Fighting in a Dark Street Note: There is no swordsmanship skill, I recall reading the word short sword so that is the xp I have awarded. Please change your CS to reflect this Also you should edit out your acrobatic somersault. While it made for good reading you are far short of the skill necessary to somersault over a person while wearing all of your combat gear and avoiding injury from their attacks.

Just a reminder Character: Wystern Experience: 1xp Stealth Lore: Observing Combat in a Dark Street, Creeping up on People Note: There is no Sword skill. Please change it to reflect the exact sword that your character uses in combat. Group Notes: A few things in this thread could be cleared up by visiting the new and substantially clearer Syliras wiki here: Syliras Drunken thugs and oversized NPCs are kind of rampant lately. Remember that this is a prime example of why people don't mess with the knights: they get killed and are not granted mercy. Syliras is a dictatorship, a military castle run entirely by well armed and well trained soldiers. There will be very few people (hopefully) willing to attack Knights within the city, if any, no matter how drunk they are. Remember that there is just as much to fear from a five foot man as there is to fear from a man who towers over and doubles the size of your PC Plus the little men are more common! Lastly all starting knights are bottom ranking. I did not see any reference to Kavran's rank directly, but it has been implied that he outranks the other PCs. Unless he has received special permission that I am not aware of then he is the exact same rank as everyone else in this thread until such time as he exceeds the minimum skill ranks required to advance in the Knighthood.
