The Order of Tye were sworn to them,” she said, crinkling her brow as she fully understood the seriousness of the situation.<strong>“Sildar Hallwinter was a knight of the Order of Tye, wasn’t he? Long time ago, but still. I trained with some of their knights. A knight wouldn’t leave behind their ring behind unless they had no other choice.”</strong><br/><br/>She tapped her glove where it covered her own signet ring.<strong>“He must have left it so anyone following would know he’d been taken with Gundren. If this was just a straight bandit raid, I’d expect them to kill the bodyguard, not drag him along with them. Why take the risk of taking a fighter like Hallwinter alive?”</strong><br/><br/>Tania was not one for plots and intrigues: she left the speculation there, and fell in with the group again. Surprisingly, the trek wasn’t as bad as she had feared, and she wasn’t being snagged on undergrowth: the forest seemed almost farmed, and was eminently passable even for a knightress in chain mail armour.<br/><br/>Suddenly, Lynnara was jerked aloft. Tania, stumbling at the back of the group as the slowest among them, caught up to find an upside down elf dangling from the trees. Her glove rose to her mouth again, this time to suppress not a grimace, but a smile, at the absurdity of the situation.<br/><br/>Then her more serious martial instincts took over. While Amelia and Collin tried to cut her down, Tania scanned the undergrowth for signs that the trap had alerted any kind of alarm signal, such as bells strung between trees.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Perception check (if needed): 12</div><div class="spoiler_body">Summary: At 2022-08-26 17:42:18, hazelnut (uid: 105812) rolls: 1d20a1 Result: 12 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=160610)<br/><br/>Full Result: hazelnut rolled: 1d20, adding 1 to the total<br/>Comment: Perception check<br/>Result: 11, <br/>Total: 12 </div></div>
