<br>
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman'"><span style="font-size: 18px">You are <b>Lord Lothair du Artois,</b> first son of your passed father. You preside over the ancient house of du Artois, which is now a shadow of its former glory from the days when this land was still known as Carboldica. No longer peers of the realm, your lordship is sworn to a mere baron, rather than an emperor or king as it had been centuries before. Still, your household is in possession of traditions and relics that many other lordlings do not, such as many fine banners and a quality longsword.<br>
<br>
You preside over du Artois Castle, and have three villages mastered by your vassals, Lastrahn, Avendar, and Pelleck. The knights serving as masters of these villages are Sir Kelias du Artois (a cousin), Sir Marolyn (a cousin-in-law), and Sir Horne (a new knight), respectively. These men have bailiffs doing most of the management of these villages, while they are engaged in knightly pursuits such as hunting, training, and attending your court.<br>
<br>
The villages under your domain mostly provide crops, wood, fish, and fruit. The carpenters of Lastrahn are capable of turning wood from Pelleck into weapons like spears and simple shields. There is also an apothecary in Lastrahn that professes alchemical skills, usually making herbal teas and simple remedies for the rural folk.<br>
<br>
You are mostly directly responsible for the administration of Castle Du Artois, a riverside motte and bailey fortress with most of its buildings protected by a series of wooden palisades. Most of the male servants double as your personal soldiers; your retinue is comprised of 53 men, including all its commanders. Many lordlings in Midduch have few retained men under their command, but since it has been less than a year after Guy Edban's peasant rebellion in Serbeck Barony, many lords still have a decent amount of men on hand. Your 28 footmen (10 wearing mail) carry shields and more-or-less proper swords. They generally wear woolen gambesons or boiled leather derived from the Stromwood pasturelands, though your best troops wear mail over top. You also have 20 trained archers with light armor and weapons. Though you have less mail among your common men, there is a high proportion of knights and squires serving your household, for a total of 6 knights (including yourself) and 5 mounted and armed squires.<br>
<br>
<br>
The latest days have been dreary, with blackening skies and few songs from the birds (aside from the ravens). You've heard that your liege lord, Baron Caleyston of Clayhold, has sent some of his men to Crowsby due to some kind of trouble, but he has not had any contact with you in about a week. The road leading to your domains from Clayhold is quite treacherous due to forest bandits operating in the area, and Clay Bailey being unequipped to deal with them. It's often a precarious situation for messengers, who outlaws enjoy holding for ransom.<br>
<br>
You are approached in the manor hall by one of your retainers, an archer who lives in your bailey with his young wife.<b> "My lord,"</b> he says, bowing in greeting. He is wearing a simple tunic with the du Artois insignia. <b>"Me and some of the lads were fishing by the riverside... and... well, I'm not sure how to say it. The fish don't stop flopping. One has been out of the water for many an hour- we even gutted it, and it still flops as if it lives. We don't really know what it means, my lord."</b></span></span><br>

<br>
<b>NAME:</b> Lord Lothair du Artois<br>
<br>
<b>GENERAL DESCRIPTION: </b>Lothair has some fair and sharp features that undoubtedly come from his Empard heritage. Standing at a notable 5'10", Lothair stands over most people, but doesn't tower over them.<br>
<br>
<b>AGE: </b>27<br>
<br>
<b>SEX:</b> Male<br>
<br>
<b>ETHNICITY:</b> Boldic<br>
<br>
<b>HISTORY:</b> The du Artois family is able to distantly trace its lineage to the Empard rulers of the region, but his ancestors were often used to forge strategic marriages with local Chieftains. This often made the du Artois a threat to the ruling families. Thus, the family was relegated to the hinterlands now known as Middle Duchy of Carmondy to "oversee" the lands there in what was in effect a political exile to a remote land. Generations have seen the du Artois power and holdings stripped to the point where little remains other than the du Artois manor and some nearby lands. Recent generations have resigned themselves and kept silent to preserve the little that the once powerful family had.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Lothair was holding council in the manor hall with his advisers. Due to the distance to his liege lord and other major towns and cities, Lothair knew that self sufficiency was crucial for the du Artois holdings and people. Travel was perilous around the forests due to the gangs of bandits, and perturbed trade in the region as well. Still, these challenges were blessings as well as it bestowed the du Artois holdings with some de facto autonomy from his de jure liege, the infrequent messages being one such example. Thus, Lothair pondered the idea of establishing a small market town outside of the palisades to facilitate trade in the area by providing a centralized location for merchants to gather and bring their goods and services. The Castle was the central location of the three surrounding villages and easier to reach than to travel to each of the individual villages. However, he looked to his advisers to see what their opinions and input on the matter was. "Sir Paryn, what would it take to establish a market outside of the palisade walls? Are our supplies and coffers sufficient? Sir Homwic, would policing the market and ensuring the safety of the traders from potential bandits be easy? Master Silas, what would the legal ramification be? Could we implement a tax or a fee for those who come to this proposed market to sell their goods and services?" Lothair sought their input to see how feasible his idea was and continued to discuss with them.<br>
<br>
Shortly after, one of his retainers entered the manor hall and bowed. <b>"Me and some of the lads were fishing by the riverside... and... well, I'm not sure how to say it. The fish don't stop flopping. One has been out of the water for many an hour- we even gutted it, and it still flops as if it lives. We don't really know what it means, my lord."</b> Lothair stared at the archer for a second, caught a bit off guard by the statement. "A fish? That will not die? What kind of dark, unholy Witchmarch sorcery is this?" Lothair said as he rose from his seat. "Summon Brother Holan and bring us to this undying fish." Lothair silently thought to himself that recent times were a bit odd... a bit too gloomy and quiet. Perhaps there was foul magic at play and that a witch hunt was due. Still, he didn't want to jump to conclusions until he had a better understanding of the situation as he started to walk and follow the retainer to see this immortal fish.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="font-size: 18px"><span style="font-family: 'times new roman'">Sir Paryn takes some moments to ponder himself. </span><b><span style="font-family: 'times new roman'">"I think we gather enough wood, and call for the help of the carpenters in Lastrahn, we can fashion some market stalls, as well as animal pens for traders to rent. I say we are in a reasonable area for a market, between . We shouldn't need many other supplies if we plan on merely hosting it. Though... offering merchants small enticements, such as temporary food and lodging, would help encourage travelers to come."</span></b></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman'"><span style="font-size: 18px">Sir Homwic nods when you ask him your question of security. <b>"Yes, my lord. There would be little chance for raids if it was established close to our castle, and our merry men are garrisoned nearby, always in a position to enforce any decrees you place upon this market."</b><br>
<br>
Master Silas nods.<b> "Yes, we could levy a tax for those wishing to use our safe and convenient location for the purposes of trade. Of course, our liege lord may in turn want to exact his own tax for the right to hold this market. I doubt he would outright disallow such an enterprise, but it would be our duty to report this intention to him. Otherwise, we keep our profits and risk slighting the man when he figures it out later." </b>The clerk rubs his chin...<b> "Keeping the logs of the market shouldn't be too much extra work, but if it grew large enough, we may want to consider hiring-..."</b><br>
<br>
Your council turns to see the servant enter with some troubling news. Many brows are furrowed, and eyes widen with surprise and superstition as he tells of the strange fish. When you issue your orders, your man quickly runs off to fetch Brother Holan, your castle chaplain.<br>
<br>
<br>
Though most castles have an ordained cleric as their religious representative, Brother Holan is a monk, though also a sworn deacon under the Priest of Pelleck. He is sinewy, thin man with a short robe and tall, boiled leather boots. New to your service after the passing of your last chaplain (a proper cleric), Brother Holan had fought as a soldier under the Abbot of Trimount during Guy Edban's rebellion last year. Still, despite being more martial and less well-read than most holy men, he considers himself very close with the holy creator Paragon.<br>
<br>
Brother Holan greets you with a bow as you and your advisors are brought to the riverside, just outside the bailey.<b> "My lord, sirs,"</b> he nods to each of your advisors. He gestures at the squirming, gutted fish that is still hanging by the hook in its mouth.<b> "This is a case of undeath."</b> The hierodeacon quickly makes a holy gesture to form the Emmortal 'E' with four of his fingers, as if to ward off its aura. <b>"And why has a fish gotten to be like this? I am not so sure. Evil men like to raise more stout things from the dead, unless we have ourselves a mere novice for a necromancer."</b></span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Lothair frowned as he heard the Brother's reasoning and thoughts. "Undead... in our lands." He muttered. He had heard stories in the past of how the undead used to terrorize the lands.  This sign bode ill for the lands. "This dark magic must be dealt with... the water may be cursed too. Send word to the men. Any and all fish caught are to be gutted and watched for 30 minutes. Those that are undying are to be burned into ashes in a fire. All are to also take caution with the river and the water. Draw water from the wells instead of the river. Paragon protect us if someone were to eat an undead fish... or drink cursed water. All animals as well, after being gutted, are to be watched for 10 minutes as well and burned if they do not die. The curse could be affecting dead animals too in the area... we must take caution. The curse of undeath, I have heard in stories, spreads rapidly. We must contain this curse and send word to the church to see if they know of a way to cleanse the region of this malady. For now, we must gather the men of the cloth in the region. As for that undead fish. Carefully place it in a pot and keep it sealed so that we can show the priests once they arrive."<br>
<br>
Lothair looked to Brother Holan and said "Please pray for and bless the area... or spray some holy water. Whatever it is that you can think of that may help with the situation." then turned and returned to the manor as he began to call out for his retainers. He needed to send word, and quickly to his vassals and to his liege lord while the situation was still relatively contained, or else it could spread like wild fire.<br>
<br>
---<br>
<br>
Summary:<br>
1. Lothair orders for all caught fish and butchered animals to under go a monitoring period of 30 minutes for they are eatan. Those that do not die are to be burned as they are clearly under the influence of the dark magic. He also orders all to be cautious around the river and to rely on wells.<br>
<br>
2. Lothair also dispatches runners to his villages to send word of the undead fish and Lothair's orders to his bannermen with haste. The runners are to also request the local priests / chaplains to come back with them and escort them back to see if they can work together to find a way to combat the curse of undeath and get their insight on the situation. The apothecary of Lastrahn is also requested to come as well.<br>
<br>
Runners:<br>
Lastrahn: 2 Heavy Infantry, 2 Riding Horses<br>
Avendar: 1 Squire, 2 Heavy Infantry, 3 Riding Horses<br>
Pelleck: 1 Squire, 1 Heavy Infantry, 2 Riding Horses<br>
<br>
3. Lothair asks Brother Holan to bless the area, spray holy water, or whatever it is that he thinks can help clear the area of this foul magic.</div>

Brother Holan spreads crushed yellowbloom around the keep's grounds, uttering prayers and holy incantations. He bestows blessings upon the riverside, and excuses himself.<b> "If the effect of these blessings end up being rather weak, my apologies. I am not an ordained man."</b><br>

Shortly after your decree that all fish must be carefully watched before they are eaten, there is a slight uproar as several of your staff notice that every caught fish seems to be having this reaction shortly after death. One fish had a cleaver taken to its head shortly after being caught, and seemed to remain killed for good, however. Only its eyes seemed to remain 'alive' after this was done. <b>"Is the rest of him supposed to be clean?" </b>one of your servants. Another one remarks that she prays the ale made from the river's waters isn't contaminated.</span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Lothair looked to Brother Holan and said "Your best is all I ask. Thank you Brother Holan for helping me keep my people safe." Still, not too long after Lothair's orders, further word came. The rest of the fish seem to be cursed as well. Lothair frowned as he looked at the fish who all seemed to refuse to die. "This dark magic is spread further than I feared. It appears that eating them is not prudent for now. I dare not have my people EAT the product of dark magic. It is simply too dangerous and we know too little for now. Let us leave the fish alone until the priests arrive... though I suspect they might encourage us to burn the witch magic. Still, these undying fish are to be left untouched until further notice." <br>
<br>
Lothair looked at the insightful female servant who commented about the ale. "You. You are very wise. What is your name? Can I entrust you to test the ale? Get a chicken or some small animal strung up or in a cage and then have it drink some ale. Then watch the chicken to see if there's anything odd. After an hour or so, you may gut the chicken and see if it will die. I pray that the water itself is not cursed... if it is...Paragon help us..." Lothar said as he muttered the last few words to himself. "I pray that the brewing process, at the very least, would purify the water, but it is better to err on the side of caution like you suggest."</div>

 One of the cocks wandering by the hovels outside the bailey is fetched by your servants and eventually made to drink ale from a bowl. After an hour passes, one of your servants deprives the chicken of its head with their knife. Afterwards, it acts as a chicken normally does, staggering around for a few moments before falling over. It is decided that this does not count as undeath, of course. After about a half hour, the body seems to be dormant, but the beak and eyes seem to become animated. Many of your staff are very perturbed.<br>
<br>
<b>"Oh no, Emmortal God! Are we going to have that happen to us?"</b> one of your other maidservants asks. Most of your people have already drank ale or water sourced from that river. There is a sense of panic beginning to set in.<br>
<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Lothair nodded "It appears that we may all already be cursed and that it is not just the water. Perhaps, it only works when the cursed being is dead for a bit of time. The Chicken stirred after half an hour. There is not much that we can do other than seek a way to break the curse if that is the case."  he replied to Brother Holan.  He loudly spoke up to those nearby "Faith! My people. Faith. Have faith in your teachings and in the Paragon. Everything is not lost as we still have our lives and faith. We will find a way to break this curse. For now, corpses should be handled with urgency. The curse takes about thirty minutes to take effect for small creatures like chickens. Any corpses that have returned to life are to be burned, immediately with care." <br>
<br>
Lothair looked to Geina and said "I wish you to attempt one more thing. Get a freshly caught fish that has not been gutted and is still alive. Then have it cooked, not burned. I wonder if the curse only works if the body is left alone for a period of time, and that eating them will not cause additional problems if the corpse is cooked quickly."</div>

A stocky man riding atop of a small pony arrives at the keep, wearing a furred robe that might belong to a wealthy peasant or poor knight. He is followed behind by a man of the cloth, wearing a simple brown robe stitched with Paragon's holy 'E', and the plain leather skullcap that clerics often wear. You recognize them as the local apothecary owner and the Priest of Lastrahn, respectively. Trotting along close behind atop a large destrier, you see your cousin, Sir Kelias duo Artois. He is accompanied by his squire, the teenage son of Sir Horne. <b>"Hail, my lord,"</b> the knight says. <b>"What terrible evil have we been stricken with in these damnable days?" </b>he asks. <b>"Your servants sent word requesting a few men from Lastrahn, I hope you don't mind if I accompanied them."</b></span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Lothair welcomes the new arrivals "You are always welcome, Sir Kelias. I wish we could meet under more auspicious circumstances, but these are dark times." Lothair said as he nodded to the cleric and the apothecary. "Thank you all for coming with urgency." as he led the group to the manor hall to speak privately. The group sat around the grand table in the hall with a pot sitting in the middle. The frantic thudding of the undead fish could be heard as Lothair let the silence sink for a moment. "As you are all aware, we have discovered an undead fish. It sits in the pot before you. However, in the last few moments, we have also discovered that ALL the fish are turning undead after 30 minutes of being gutted. Cutting off the head renders the body still, but keeps the head still active. We also killed a chicken, which also came back to life after 30 minutes. This has all made me conclude that we may ALL already be cursed by this dark magic and that it is too late to prevent it. Rather, all our attention should go towards finding a way to break the curse for the undead only arise AFTER a period of death. The curse needs some time to work."<br>
<br>
Lothar then looked to the holy men and the apothecary and said "I have summoned you all here to discuss the matter and see if you have any ideas or insights as learned and spiritual men."</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Lothair hailed the men and their retinues as they arrived.<br>
<br>
"If my theory is correct, then our focus should be on making sure that the bodies do not have enough time to rise. For this reason, I think it would be best for all men who die in these times to be cremated with all haste. At the very least the head should be severed and destroyed. At this point, there seems little reason to try and stop the people from eating and drinking. They'll simply starve and turn into undead even quicker. Though, we could test this theory if we had some prisoners... a bandit or two whose lives are already forfeit.<br>
<br>
Regardless, we must make preparations, undead men could stumble upon our villages and cause chaos. Sir Homwic, what do you think would be the best course of action? Getting spears mass produced and posting militia watchmen to watch for any undead? Fortifying key homes to use as emergency keeps?" Lothair asked.<br>
<br>
He then turned to Sir Paryn and replied "Surely, sending a few men to Squire Top to, at the very least, warn them of the curse, would allow us to still meet our obligations if Lord Caleyston calls for us. It is not like I will raise an entire levy and send a warband to Squire Top. I seek to be neighborly with the men of Squire Top and Lord Stromwood, and have the decency to warn them with some runners even if they are unable to assist us."</div>

We will have to erect funeral pyres if the dead are to be treated with any dignity... of course, this is still not as dignified a sendoff as a proper burial, but almighty Paragon will surely understand our corporal plights,"</b> the hierodeacon says.<br>
<br>
Homwic nods.<b> "We have fifty good men in our retinue, and we could raise a levy on freemen if we needed more proper, albeit temporary footmen. Simple serfs are not martial folk, but even then, they can be given drills with basic gear. We could commission the carpenters in Lastrahn to produce spears and shields, though we'll have to speak to them closely to determine the prices they ask for this labor, as well as how fast we'd like them to work. As these are not normal times, we could simply <i>force</i> them to do it, but regardless, this would not reflect on us well,"</b> he warns.<b> "Either way, we may be able to raise over two hundred men from the serfs. It is your lordly right to institute a draft even without providing equipment, though they will be little more than unorganized rabble."</b><br>
<br>
Sir Paryn replies, <b>"I believe that would be a good idea, to at least remind Lord Stromwood of our presence. Our warnings of the danger to his lands would be a sign of goodwill."</b> He continues, however. <b>"Either way, we are in an awkward position to deploy in the name of Lord Caleyston," </b>he says.<b> "The rest of the barony is quite some distance from ours, aside from perhaps Clay Bailey. If our own domains were threatened, it would take days for us to march back, due to the position of the river."</b></span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Lothar nodded and replied "Very well, please see to it that funeral pyres are used to deal with the deceased until the curse has been broken. This is to apply to all villages and holdings. As for preparations, Sir Kelias and Sir Marolyn, when you return to your abodes, determine how much it would cost to purchase and hire the material and labor needed to produce 100 spears and 100 bows and send word to me. My coffers will be open to prepare us in the event that this situation deteriorates and we find ourselves forced to fight the undead. Since we are not marching to war, there is no urgency yet. Still, I wish to be informed of what expenses may look like and budget accordingly. For now, Sir Homic, will you organize patrols and sentries accordingly? I do not want anyone to be caught with their pants down if an undead man ever stumbles into one of our villages. Now, my sirs and misters, if there is nothing else that anyone else wishes to say or ask, then I believe we all have much work to do. I must begin to draft a letter to send to our northern neighbors."<br>
<br>
---<br>
<br>
Orders/Decrees:<br>
<br>
1. Due to the presence of black magic, all bodies are to be dealt with promptly. The bodies of the dead are to now be cremated via funeral pyres and given their rites to cleanse the bodies and souls of the dead of the black magic.<br>
<br>
2. The masters of Lastrahn and Pelleck are to send word of how much it would to cost to get the material and or labor to make 100 spears and 100 bows once they return to their homes.<br>
<br>
3. Patrols and guards are to be sent to the villages to keep an eye out for potential undead and trouble.<br>
<br>
For Each Village:<br>
1 Heavy Infantry (Veteran)<br>
2 Infantry<br>
3 Archers<br>
<br>
4. Runners are sent to Square Top or Stromwood Castle (which ever is quicker to get to) to send word of the undead and seek any advice or information on how to combat the curse.<br>
<br>
1 Squire w/ Riding Horse<br>
2 Heavy Infantry w/ Riding Horse</div>

The non-woodlands villages would be at a lack of knowledge on how to use the short bow," </b>Sir Kelias says.<br>
<br>
Sir Horne nods. <b>"Aye, even the utmost underlings in my village know how to use those things. Some may feign not knowing how... I know some of them are poachers, for sure."</b><br>
<br>
Sir Kelias thinks of something else. <b><b>"Though we have carpenters for simpler equipment like shields and spears, do we have many bowyers?"</b></b> he asks.<br>
<br>
Sir Horne hums. <b>"As for fletchers of bows, there is only one such man in my vill. He won't be able to outfit a small army anytime soon... though, perhaps I can offer him some tax exemptions for his services, regardless. I believe that jolly old oaf owes my manor of his hogs for his daughter's marriage. Maybe I'll let him keep the beast."</b><br>
<br>
<br>
The envoys are prepared with their horses, deciding to ride for Stromwood Castle via the old clay paths, as it would take longer to reach Squire Top due to the terrain. Likewise, some of your senior retainers begin to organize their own bands of guardsmen to keep an eye on the villages.</span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Lothair listens to the men's advice. "Very well, forget the idea of bows. A single bowyer will not be able to make 100 bows in a reasonable amount of time. For now, let us focus on getting those spears and shields as mentioned." He then paused for a second and continued "Sir Paryn, Master Silas, pray tell. Do you recall the current legal boundaries of the holdings du Artois family? You see, since we are far from Clay Bailey and bandits plague the road between us and the Baron, I figure that establishing fortified towers to keep an eye on the road would do us much good in securing the road for travel and make communications easier. If the legal claims support it, then I seek to potentially establish a garrison at the intersection to our east. Perhaps, even establish a toll to support our efforts to keep the roads clear of plant growth and banditry."</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Lothair nodded and thanked the lords for their counsel. "It appears to be something we should consider, but would require quite a bit of manpower, which we are not privy to at this moment. For now, let us wait for our messengers to return before taking further steps. I would hate for us to be spread even thinner if an emergency or situation were to arise suddenly. Our main priority should be attempting to find a solution to this abominable curse. One outpost and toll by the intersection will not help with that goal. Yet, if a solution remains elusive... well... we must also look into the future and work towards further expanding our influence and security in the region. At the end of the day, there is no major problem with the undead if we keep our subjects healthy and safe. Even if we cannot cure the malaise... we can treat the symptoms and continue to live a more or less normal life."</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Lothair replied "I hear your concerns, but as of yet there is no imminent threat of hordes of undead. We must look towards the future and consider the economic and logistical issues of raising a host too quickly and for too long. Will we be constantly on guard, watching for a horde that will come perhaps a month or perhaps a year later while leaving the fields to rot and pests? My Sirs, starvation will be what kills us and turn into those foul beings rather than the dead if we allow such a thing to happen. That said, perhaps, we can begin drilling of the people? Once every week's end for a few hours, we could have our veterans and retainers attempt to train the rabble so that when an emergency happens, we will have a trained militia to call upon, and given the situation... I imagine most would be eager to learn how to protect themselves and their families. In addition, perhaps we can seek volunteers to undergo more rigorous training. Once we have a store of spears, we can expand the training to the serfs. Then with the carpenters freed up... proceed to build a fortified tower or outpost at the intersection and other locations to serve as a lookout. What are your thoughts on the matter?"</div>

<span style="font-family: 'times new roman'">"Not to mention that the men held on retainment would have to be paid marching wages as well," </span></b><span style="font-family: 'times new roman'">Sir Paryn points out. He is is charge of the servants' payroll, after all.<br>
<br>
<b>"That's right. Now, production of peasants' arms, giving training, and keeping the able-bodied lads on standby would be more feasible," </b>the captain agrees. <b>"Building a watchtower will take time, but it will give us advance warning of any threats."</b></span></span><br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Lothair considered the circumstances and replied "Knowledge of the curse and drilling with weapons are our best tools against this dark magic. Even if it means opening our coffers to draw them to these drills and lessons. For that reason, I will contribute 90 gold to be used as incentive for people to come to these drills. They should at least know how to handle a spear and to learn that the undead seemingly can only be dealt with by destroying the head of the cursed being... more importantly that all dead things will come back within a short period of time, during which the body MUST be dealt with quickly via decapitation and/or incineration. If further funds are needed to draw the people in for future drills and lessons, then we may discuss such things later, but let us at least give the serfs the bare knowledge to deal with the curse and undead."<br>
<br>
Now all there was to do for now was to wait for word to come back from the messengers and to learn how long it would take to make the spears.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">(I have a bit of lore on currency <a href="https://www.rpnation.com/threads/fantasy-currency.461584/" class="link link--internal" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rpnation.com%2Fthreads%2Ffantasy-currency.461584%2F&amp;hash=b1c2f5b100c1ad65cfcf99f3d1a6ef03">here</a>! The generic 'coin' resource is treated as silver pretty much.)<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman'"><span style="font-size: 18px">Your steward, Sir Paryn, arranges for some of your coffers to go towards incentivizing the peasantry in your domains to give up some of their free time to join you and your men for important drills. A silver penny, or even a few coppers is sometimes enough to entice the serfs to participate in extra activities. At least a few peasant families (mainly the chief servants of the local manor) are actively involved in public service by default, and many will join due to the current climate of fear. Sir Paryn says that adding a money reward could ensure almost total participation.<br>
<br>
Less than an hour later, you receive word from one of the messengers sent to speak to the carpenters in Lastrahn. They can produce spears at three pence apiece, and plain kiteshields at six. Your captain, Sir Homwic, says that, according to the data from court scrolls he has from your vassals and bailiffs, you could possibly raise up to 200 men from the serf classes. Between the labors of ten or so carpenters, the humble village guild estimates they could produce just over 40 spears per day, or 20 shields (or 13 shields and 13 spears). Your captain informs you that equipping them with spears only would be fine enough for simply adding extra protection to the villages. <b>"However, if we want to deploy them as useful members of our host, they will need shields. I know the undead won't shoot them with arrows... but a shield makes a man feel safe. Less likely to break and run."</b><br>
<br>
Sir Paryn has something to add. <b>"It will cost over 1,800 silver. We won't go into debt, but this is an expensive venture," </b>he says. <b>"It's only 600 silver for the spears."<br>
<br>
"I'd say it's worth it. It's a good investment to have more functional soldiers at your command,"</b> Sir Homwic shrugs.</span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Lothair took a moment to consider the costs. Over half the treasury would be needed to arm 200 serfs with spears AND shields. While shields would make the serfs feel safe and less likely to break, they were at the end of the day not soldiers, but farmers and laborers. At the moment, to Lothair, it made little sense to invest so much into a non-professional group of untrained militia men. Besides, a shield only meant so much in battle. They had to be able to kill the enemy. So, the spears were a necessity while the shields were a nice addition. Considering the circumstances and how they were up against an unknown enemy, Lothair didn't think it would be wise to use up a majority of the coffers to give the serfs shields. Perhaps, later when they were trained and knew how to fight properly would the proposition be attractive and logical. But for now, these strange circumstances made it seem as if spending half of the treasury would be unwise.<br>
<br>
"Your insight into the minds of the serfs are appreciated, Sir Homwic. I did not consider that a shield would be a major source of morale for the serfs. Yet, I would be lying if I said that the idea of spending so much on a group of untrained militiamen did not concern me. I believe, for now, having the carpenters focus on producing the spears would be prudent as a shield means naught if one cannot kill their foe. Plus, these uncertain times may call for other situations that require expensive solutions. Due to these concerns, let us purchase the spears first. Then, once the serfs are drilled and actually know how to fight, then the idea of spending so much for shields becomes much more appealing. Perhaps... rather than making large and difficult kite shields, heater shields would be better suited or even the simple round shield? Ask the carpenters how much it would cost to make one of each." Lothair said to the men.<br>
<br>
---<br>
<br>
Summary:<br>
<br>
Lothair requests that the carpenters begin to focus on producing 200 spears for now for the cost of 600 coins. He also requests to know if making heater shields or round shields would be cheaper, easier and quicker.</div>

He decided to come to see you in the keep for ease of communication, now that he is aware you are willing to secure a contract. The master carpenter is a man with graying hair, a thin mustache, and a slightly hunched back. He wears fur-trimmed clothes and a reasonably fashionable (for a commoner) felt hat. <b>"My lord,"</b> he bows, though with his posture it almost looked like he was doing so already. <b>"A round shield would be possible, though it would leave the men of the vills more open to being crippled by the legs...</b>" he warns. <b>"We could make them at four and a half pence apiece."<br>
<br>
"So..." </b>Sir Paryn does some calculations in his head. <b>"Around 900 silvers, then," </b>he says once he is finished. <b>"300 less than it was before."</b><br>
<br>
The old man nods. <b>"Yes, sir. Not our finest examples of woodwork compared to the kite shields, but it's something we can happily provide. We will be able to produce them quicker as well."</b></span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Lothair nods at the arrival of the master carpenter and listens to the man's explanation about the round shields. After hearing the men speak, Lothair replied "Thank you for coming all the way here. For now, let us proceed with the order of 200 spears as the shields are rather pointless without the spears. Once the spears are done, we can then discuss further orders and jobs for you and your guild as the men will be better able to make use of the spears and a shield after they are trained. If purchase of materials is going to be a burden upon you and your carpenters, then you may take up to half of the payment upfront with you on your trek back to Lastrahn. The rest, of course, will be paid upon full delivery of the 200 spears. Do you find these terms acceptable, Master Carpenter?"</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">"Duly noted, you are dismissed, Master Carpenter." Lothair replied as he got up from his seat. He couldn't help but feel a bit anxious about the situation and that there could be more to do instead of simply wait for the runners sent to Stromwood Castle. At the very least, he wanted to hear word from his neighbors... and ultimately try to get word from Clay Bailey. Lothair called out to his knights "Sir Homwic, will you join me in a trip to scout out an ideal location for our planned outpost and then visit the master of Darroworth to inform them of the situation regarding the curse and our plans to build the outpost? Brother Holan should accompany us... I imagine seeing a small group of armored horsemen would stir some concern, but having a monk among our numbers will lend some ease and belief in the curse. Though, the village of Darroworth may have already discovered the curse themselves... Sir Paryn, I entrust you to watch over the castle in my absence. Sitting here in the hall doesn't sit well with me when there is more that we can do, and it would be best for us to at least make contact with Clay Bailey to see what is happening out to the east. Emmortal watch over us all if the curse isn't contained to just these quiet lands. I hope fortune will allow us to meet with our runners sent to Stromwood Castle on the road and that they will have good news for us."<br>
<br>
---<br>
Summary:<br>
<br>
Lothair, Sir Homwic, Brother Holan, 1 Squire, and 2 Heavy Infantry w/ Riding Horses prepare to ride out, scout out the future site of the outpost/road toll, and then go on to Darroworth to speak with the village master.<br>
<br>
Sir Paryn is entrusted to watch over matters in the interim.</div>

Normally, it might just be a gentle ride through the countryside. Obviously, the recent goings-on have created a very heightened sense of danger, as if there was an impending siege. Sir Homwic's squire is young, but even the two grizzled retainers seem a little bit nervous. Brother Holan issues a short prayer before the departure.</span></span><br>

Sir Paryn stands upon the battlements and orders the rotation of the on-duty archers. He waves your party out of the gates near the manor house. Riding down the road, you see plough teams with oxen working the fallow fields, while in other fields the serfs and freemen sow their spring crops of barley, peas and beans. Though many of the faces of the common folk seem gloomy due to the bad omens and foreboding weather, it is not an excuse to shirk their duties in the fields. A few young peasant women walking along the road bow as you ride by, while Sir Homwic forces his squire to avert his wandering eyes.<br>

You come upon the crossroads. There aren't many trees nearby, so Sir Homic suggests that wood will have to be brought from Pelleck, since it would be illegal to harvest anything from any woodlands north of Clay Bailey's road without permission from Darroworth's overlord, the Baron of Stromwood.</span></span>​</div></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">The road was relatively calm and quiet. Frankly, it would almost seem like a normal day if it were not for the curse and the odd weather. Lothair gave a stern nod in greetings to those that the party passed by. The trip to the intersection proved to be uneventful as Lothair looked around the barren plains around the area. While there wasn't much to look at nor resources to build with, at least that meant that building a watch tower here would give the sentries a good clear view around the area and enough of a heads up if something or someone approached. "A bit remote from Pelleck, but a fine spot to build a guard tower since it could get a commanding view of the area." Lothair commented to Sir Homwic. Without much more to see, Lothair then called out "Onwards, men. To the village of Darroworth, and keep your eyes open for any signs of the runners we sent to Stromwood castle." as he then urged his horse forwards to the village.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><span style="font-family: 'times new roman'"><span style="font-size: 18px">You and your affinity continue on to the village of Darroworth, located in the outlying Stromwood lands.<br>
<br>
Your party passes by a few more fields, serfs still being seen here and there, but mainly in larger groups and never alone. You occasionally bear witness to the desiccated carcasses of critters such as dogs, cats, even the occasional sheep. They are haphazardly butchered, as if the act was done by raving madmen, the meat left to rot in large piles. You also spy items such as a pair of lost boots, and several broken arrowheads. Some of the serfs seem to be gathering straw and wood for a pyre.<br>
<br>
The main plank-road leading to the entrance to the village is guarded by a makeshift checkpoint consisting of wooden stake palisades and positioned wagons. Several male serfs carrying hatchets, forks, flails and spears mill around nearby. A nearly toothless freeman with a bow so large that it exceeded his own height seemed to be their 'commander'. He approaches your affinity and bows, his large brown cloak blowing in the wind. <b>"Lord Art," </b>he greets. <b>"Hail!" </b>It was common nickname for you in the region, since the common folk... had some difficulties with pronunciation, at times.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Lothair's nose furrowed slightly at the sight of the desiccated animals and rotting flesh thought the serfs of this village seemed to be relatively organized in their large groups, a note that Lothair would keep in mind for his own people. When the party arrived at the village, Lothair muttered to Brother Holan "These people are preparing a pyre... whoever it is for... will you perform their last rites? If the folk are welcoming of us, then I am sure they can do with some hope and faith." until the group was greeted by the freeman, Lothair called out "Hail! My good man! I came to warn your village's master about a curse in the region... but it appears I may have been too late. We caught some fish who wouldn't stop floundering after hours and a chicken that would not cease moving until its head was cut off... even then its head continued to move. I suspect the lands may be cursed and all dead things will come back as undead after a short period of time. Have the dead not stayed dead in Darroworth as well?"</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Lothair was taken aback slightly at the mention of treason. "Another rebellion? Emmortal preserve us." He prayed. "Men from the forest? The east teems with bandits. Will you take me to their bodies so that I may try to identify the men? Do they bare any coat of arms?" Lothair then looked over to Sir Homwic and said "Despite their master having departed to quell the rebellion to the north, I cannot, in good faith, simply leave the folk here to deal with the calamity by themselves. Sir Homwic, can you help rally and organize the men and defences here so that they will be at least a bit more prepared to handle the situation?" Lothair turned back to the archer "Good man, what is your name? Will you accept our help? As your neighbors, by the good graces of the Paragon, I cannot ignore your plight. Know that if need be, my castle is open to your people should they need to seek shelter."</div>

As for coats o' arms... well, they looked like vagrants,"</span></b><span style="font-family: 'times new roman'"> the archer mentions. There were plenty of such landless peasants in Midduch, since feuding and lawless nobles have burned many homes in the past. Vagrants were scorned or pitied depending on where they were, but sometimes they joined villages as hired hands, or joined the ranks of outlaws.</span></span><br>
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman'"><br>
<span style="font-size: 18px">Sir Homwic acknowledges your command and sets off to check the state of the village's arms and defenses, possibly looking for the bailiff or some other local official left in the stead of their master.<br>
<br>
<b>"My name is Ralph, m'lord,"</b> the freeman says. "<b>Thankee, your lordship. You are most gracious. Though, the bondmen in this village may not be allowed to leave... but if there is no other choice, seems to me that some would come,"</b> he shrugs.<br>
<br>
You prepare to set out with the peasants to view the bodies. Upon riding over, you see that there are just under a dozen corpses. There are men and women laid out in the green grass, children as well. Most belong to the barefoot poor, dressed like beggars and itinerant farmers. One man was wearing a wealthy townling's furs and cap, however.<br>
<br>
At least a few of the bodies were unlucky local serfs that had been attacked and slain. Some of the bodies are newer-looking, with fresh red blood and fair skin. Others have putrefied, their flesh squirming with maggots. The peasants have left sweet-smelling herbs and colorful spring flowers along all of the bodies, to ward off the sickly stench and corpse flies emanating from them. At least two serfs act as guardsmen on either side of the line of bodies, nervously gripping their large scythes as if they were halberdiers, staring intently at the row in case one of their number should rise back up a second time. In the background, more wood is gathered for the funeral pyre.<br>
<br>
<b>"Here they are, m'lord,"</b> the freeman declares upon the arrival. He makes sure to point out the rotting cadavers he had slain himself. <b>"Got that one, a hundred yards," </b>he boasted.<b> "Anyway, m'lord... these strangers fell upon us last night, and the night before as well. The ones they killed... they became like them. Abyss creatures."</b></span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Lothair became concerned at the sight of the relatively wealthy man. These undead were not just bandits. How far has the curse spread? It became clear that other settlements to the east had been affected for the wealthy looking townling to have come this far from the east. He had to send men to Clay Bailey and learn what the situation was like in the east. Lothair then turned to Ralph and said "Well done, Ralph. Though, the men should not be nervous as long as they cut off or destroyed the head of the undead. But yes... it appears that all who die are affected by the curse and return as these demonic monsters within 30 minutes or so. Be sure to cremate the dead swiftly or sever their heads soon after their death." He then looked around once more at the chaotic village. "If possible, I would establish an emergency fort around the center of the village. Your wagons should serve rather well in making a wagon fort and make it so that the undead only have a small opening between the wagons. Your men would only have to hold those opening and are also able to fight from on top of the wagons where the undead will not be able to reach them."<br>
<br>
He then turned back to look at Ralph and said "Now, unless you have something to request from me, I must depart. I plan to send an expedition to the east to Clay Bailey and get a better sense of the situation. When your master returns, inform him that I intend to build a fortified tower at the intersection to the south to give us all a bit more safety and keep an eye to the east." Lothair, however, was still perturbed by the sight of the wealthy townling. His curiosity rose and he approached the corpse of the townling to inspect it closer. "Where could this man be from..?" Lothair asked outloud to no one in particular. Perhaps, there was something on its body or pockets to potentially identify where the man came from? Lothair began searching and would otherwise rally his retinue and return to his manor.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Lothair's nose furrowed at the stench of the dead and the rotting. There didn't seem to be much left to examine as anything of note was likely already "discovered" by the peasants and taken. Still, if Brother Holan was correct... Redwold seems to have been victim to something terrible for a wealthy free man to have turned into an undead and find itself all the way over in Darroworth. Lothair approached Sir Homwic to whisper "Darroworth, in effect, serves as a buffer for our holdings from the east. If Darroworth is ever to be overwhelmed by the undead, we will likely be next." He then returned to his horse and said out loud to his retinue "Saddle up. We will return to the du Artois manor to get some more men and then attempt to ride east to Clay Bailey. We need answers. Where in the bloody world are the Stromwood messengers...?" as he urged his horse onward. Lothair nodded to Ralph as he rode by and said "Farewell, my good man. May the Emmortal watch over you." as the retinue began to make way back to Castle du Artois.</div>

<br>
<b>"Farewell, m'lord. You as well,"</b> he calls as you ride off with your men. Many of the locals turn their heads as they watch your affinity make its way back to whence it came, with noticeable haste... <br>
<br>
You make your way back out to the outskirts. After you pass by the flat crossroads, you notice that there are two riders some distance behind your entourage. They are recognizable as the envoys to the Stromwood keep, and they eventually catch up to your affinity.<br>
<br>
<b>"Sir, my lord,"</b> the squire of Sir Homwic greets as he returns with two of your mounted serjeants. <b>"Lord Stromwood is aware of the situation. However, he has stated that he must deal with one of his rebellious vassals, Sir Moulton,"</b> he says. <b>"We were told that the undead will soon overtake Redwold, and that Aussux has likely already fallen. The Baron has offered to extend his protection to us, if we provide men to assist in crushing the rebellion."</b> He draws in a breath, as if he is still coming to grips with the fact that such large townships are already being destroyed by the curse.<b> "He... invites you to meet with him, if you would like to discuss detailed terms."</b></span></span></div>

<br>
Lothair hailed the returning envoys and listened to what they had to say, but the words they brought were simply disheartening. "The cities... have fallen?" Lothair muttered as he processed the words. He looked to the squire and said "Good job, lad. This was an important task that I had given to you, and you have done well." He turned to Sir Homwic and said "Sir Homwic, will you return to the manor and inform Sir Paryn and the other Knights of the situation with your squire? We may have to hasten the process of arming and training the peasantry. Then I will need you to send capable riders to Clay Bailey to learn what goes on to our east, and I do mean capable... Paragon knows what they might encounter on the roads and I fear it may not be just a small band of bandits.  I will head north to meet with the Baron. His offer in particular perturbs me. How does he plan to extend protection to us when his domains lie in between the undead and Artois lands? Rather, he should be worried about protecting his own lands... and this sudden rebellion... something simply does not add up."<br>
<br>
---<br>
<br>
Summary:<br>
<br>
1. Lothair, Brother Holan, 1 Squire, and 2 Heavy Infantry ride back north to see Baron Stromwood.<br>
<br>
2. Sir Homwic, 1 Squire, and 2 Heavy Infantry ride back to the Artois manor to inform Sir Paryn and the other Knights of the situation.<br>
<br>
3. Sir Homwic is to organize a group of capable riders to head east to Clay Bailey and learn what it is happening in the domains of Baron Caleyston.</div>

<br>
<br>
You turn around and begin to head to Stromwood Castle accompanied by Brother Holan, Sir Paryn's squire, and two mounted retainers. Passing through the Baron's personal domains on the way to the keep, you see that there are household soldiers patrolling the roads, in addition to local militias much like the one encountered at Darroworth.<br>
<br>
Stromwood castle is soon seen in the distance. It is larger than the motte-and-bailey where the du Artois family rules from, containing several large stone towers, a sturdy gatehouse and portcullis, and more archers and crossbowmen posted.<br>

You are received at the castle gates by a small party of serjeants, who offer to take the horses over to the stablemaster to be fed and watered.<b> "Lord Stromwood will receive you in the great hall, my lord," </b>one man says.</span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">As the small party rode north to meet with Baron Stromwood, Lothair nodded and hailed the various foot patrols that they encountered. It was an odd sight especially seeing the militia men. It would make sense that they were watching for the undead, but at the same time... wasn't there a rebellion? Shouldn't most of the forces be concentrated to crush the rebellion as swiftly as possible? Perhaps, that was why the Baron sought du Artois aid in the rebellion... the baron didn't want to send his own men into battle for one reason or another, but if it were the men of another then that would serve his purposes quite well. Wary of the entire situation, Lothair continued to ride north to hear from the man himself what his reasoning or thoughts were. Once the party arrived at the Castle, Lothair hailed the sergeants and dismounted. He looked to Sir Paryn's Squire and said "Tend to the horses and have them prepared to ride back south. Time is of the essence in these uncertain times." Thus, with the rest of his entourage, Lothair began to walk to the great hall to meet with the Baron.</div>

<br>
After entering the great hall, you see the heraldry of House Stromwood in the form of their ceremonial shield hanging above the baronial seat, which is situated before a long oaken table.</span></span><br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1585073205632-png.697491/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/634/634451-0da59a3b7c07babe71f1b4097f525f78.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1585073205632.png" title="1585073205632.png" width="92" height="100" loading="lazy"></a><br>

<span style="font-family: 'times new roman'"><span style="font-size: 18px">A few other vassal families have their emblems displayed upon smaller shields, such as Harwood</span><span style="font-size: 15px"> (of Harhold) </span><span style="font-size: 18px">bear, the cadet branch Strongwood </span><span style="font-size: 15px">(of Gremotte)</span><span style="font-size: 18px"> axe, and the Pelkey </span><span style="font-size: 15px">(of Squire Top)</span><span style="font-size: 18px"> feathers. As the barony has more knightly families than most care to count, their heraldry is not displayed in the great hall aside from Lord Angas Stromwood's main officers, such as the justice of the peace, steward, and captain. In addition to heraldry, some beasts from the barony's forests have their heads and antlers mounted in several spots.<br>
<br>
You see Lord Stromwood sitting on the baronial seat. He is a tall, thin man with a graying stubble that never seemed to become a full beard. He is dressed in an embroidered linen robe and fine leather shoes. The nobleman looks tired, and his eyes are somewhat baggy.<br>
<br>
<b>"Salutations, Lord Artois," </b>he greets upon your entrance. A servant with a pitcher of wine fills up his copper goblet, and moves over to fill up the similar vessels that have been placed on the long table for you and your men. The Baron continues to speak.<b> "I welcome your noble lordship to my hall. I know of your commitments to Lord Caleyston, but you must understand that in these foreboding times, it might be wise for men like myself to look towards his neighbors for friendship."</b></span></span>​</div></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Lothair bowed his head slightly in a sign of deference to the Baron and waited to be addressed first. Lothair listened carefully and replied "Thank you, Lord Stromwood, for your hospitality. I apologize for the haste and suddenness with which I came. I admittedly presumed that the cases of undead were limited to the area surrounding my lands. Little did I expect the cities to have already suffered a horrible fate. Yet, like you said, in these foreboding times, we must work with our friends and neighbors against the darkness that threatens to consume all, which is why I sent messengers here with all haste to warn you. Yet... that is what confuses me, your Eminence. How could anyone find this to be an appropriate time to begin a rebellion? More is at stake than autonomy and taxes... what does Lord Moulton desire from all this? He may be a perfidious traitor, yet surely he is not a fool?"</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Lothair's brows furrowed slightly at the speculation. Paragon preserve them all if the curse was as widespread as the Baron suspected. "If what you suspect is true, then we face a dramatic upheaval and change in the coming months." he simply replied. Lothair noticed that the Baron eyed his companions, which soon led to a request that Lothair suspected would follow soon. Lothair nodded and turned to his retinue. "Get some rest and food. I will meet you all outside the Great Hall once my discussion with Lord Stromwood is over." Lothair waited for the men to leave the hall before he turned his attention to Lord Stromwood and said "As you requested, Lord Stromwood. I assume that what your Eminence wishes to discuss with me requires great discretion. Does this suffice or do you wish to retire to more private quarters?"</div>

Our castles are, more often than not, very old... and although they may hold back the hordes of the undead, many are not properly stocked with long-term provisions."

Would you be willing to, at the very least, explain to me the details and why you believe that he may be trusted to aid us in these uncertain situations? I may not completely agree with you, yet your wisdom and experience are well known. Allow me to be privy to your thoughts, and I will listen despite how controversial it may seem. What is this ancient military order you speak of and more importantly... if he is talented in the dark arts... why do you not suspect that he is responsible or attempting to profit from this curse?"</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="font-family: 'times new roman'"><span style="font-size: 18px">The Baron seemed to brace himself for an adverse reaction, but now seems relieved that you are willing to listen. <b>"This man hails from one of the old, black orders,"</b> he explains.<br>
<br>
As a knight, you previously had some education on the history of the 'orders'. The modern institution of paladin(ly) and knightly societies goes back to the days of Aedor, when many circles of sorcery employed groups of early 'knights' and other servants that protected them whenever their spells proved insufficient. These were complex organizations; in addition to the sorcerors and knights, there were also many sergeant-brothers and other staff drawn from the ranks of commonfolk. The black schools of necromancy and warlockery also possessed such orders, but they were driven away shortly after Paragon worship was introduced by the late empire. The overall structure of these 'orders' was adopted by secular knights, as well as the church's sworn warriors.<br>
<br>
Lord Stromwood elaborates on the case of his 'assistant'. <b>"I do believe he has much to gain from this curse... but he is forsaking his cult,"</b> he says.<b> "You see, he was led by... <i>'men'</i> that peered <i>too</i> far into the Abyss, whereas he is still a living, breathing man. His masters sought to rob him of his humanity, and so now he seeks to stop their vile hordes from encroaching upon my domains, so long as I reward him sufficiently."</b></span></span></div>

To me, it seems like the man has a pound of flesh to pay after staring into the abyss for too long and has second thoughts now that the tax collector has arrived. Perhaps, he seeks redemption, yet the fact that he seeks to materially profit from his "redemption"... your Eminence, I hope you understand why I do not trust this man. If he was truly repentant, then I would be more willing to trust this man despite breaking his oaths to his order. But this man... he reeks of the stench of an opportunist who will betray anyone if he suspects that he will profit from it. I advise caution, Lord Stromwood. You have good intentions, but this man does not. Has he at least provided you with useful information that you can act upon instead of just his 'services'?"</div>

The lord decides to divulge some information that he has learned. <b>"Aussux has fallen. The towns of the realm have been the first to go... Soon, the hordes will sweep across the countryside, and attempt to upseat us rural nobles. Thousands of my peasants will starve if the harvest is interrupted, and I need soldiers to maintain order in my domains. My vassals are dealing with the rebellion as we speak, but I still don't have enough men." </b>He taps his fingers some more.<b> "Again, I am aware of your commitment to Lord Caleyston. But he would have you march south of the lake to simply die in the defense of Clayhold, while he eats his siege provisions and lets the rest starve."</b></span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Lothair nodded in general agreement with the Baron. "I do not disagree with anything that you say. I visited Darroworth before coming here and the peasants there were at arms, having dealt with the first sighting of the undead. I doubt that many will return to farming in the coming weeks when they worry about being attacked by the undead again. Thus, I have come to see if we could coordinate some sort of response to the coming hordes. The peasants of Darroworth showed me the corpse of a wealthy burgher of sorts who seemed to be the city of Redwold... and to be frank I fear that Lord Caleyston is already under siege or worse as I have not yet heard word from him. Last I heard... he was busy dealing with a riot in Crowsby, but seeing the undead coming from Redwold..." He said and then paused for a slight moment before continuing to speak.<br>
<br>
"While I have not heard from my liege lord, I still have my obligations to my people, your Eminance. I am not insane enough to ask them to leave their homes to fight so far from their families while the undead come to besiege their homes, but I will be willing to contribute men to patrol and help protect your southern holdings, particularly Darroworth and other neighboring holdings. You would have men freed up to send to more pressing places that require your attention while I work to insure our mutual protection in the south. Would this be an acceptable deal to you, your Eminance?" Lothair inquired.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><b><span style="font-size: 18px"><span style="font-family: 'times new roman'">"I have reason to believe that Redwold is in chaos, though the local guards are rumored to be maintaining a few holdouts, along with some surviving townlords."</span></span></b><span style="font-family: 'times new roman'"><span style="font-size: 18px"> Townling aristocracy operates quite differently compared to the rural nobility. The townlords and urban gentlemen are often rich and powerful men with mercantile or guild connections, who possess enough silver to outfit themselves as knights, or even style their families as noblemen. The rural landowners often look down on them, viewing "peddler's wealth" as an inadequate substitute for ancient, 'proper' lineage. Gold, obviously, speaks to the king more than a few grumbles of his barons, so towns are afforded royal charters and special rights to protect them from encroachment by the rural lords, who are especially predatory in a place like Midduch.<br>
<br>
Times, however, seem to be changing... <b>"I am interested in sending men to relieve the townlings once I deal with the rebellion threatening my domains,"</b> the Baron explains.<br>
<br>
He goes on to respond to your offer. <b>"How far would this... defensive agreement extend to? Stromwood Castle?" </b>he inquires. <b>"Would you be willing to deploy on the field to protect my barony in that area, with at least part of your host?"</b> he asks. <b>"This would not be alone. If I am attacked, you will be fighting alongside my own host as well. Obviously, I will reciprocate with the complete protection of the du Artois manor." </b>He taps his finger on his armrest.<b> "I will be understanding, if, say, we are both attacked at once, and you cannot spare your host. I will not demand anything of you, in that case."</b></span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Lothair nodded and replied "An expedition to aid the burghers would be a wise decision. Though, I am sure they would be hoping for aid to come sooner than later, but alas we must help ourselves first before we are able to help others. As for the agreement, I am not able to field as many men as your Eminence is able to. However, what I can assure is that some of my own bannermen will be able to patrol the roads and maintain garrisons in the villages to the south of the main road that are in danger of the coming hordes of the east. If your Eminence is willing, then perhaps we could establish a small outpost or fortification on the main road? I imagine that fleeing refugees will be coming in mass from Redwold. If they are left unchecked, then they may turn to banditry and stealing from your farmlands in order to survive in the midst of the chaos. But, if we are able to instill some order through a checkpoint, then the refugees could be organized and sent to work the fields or join a levy or militia as needed. We would not need to build much if your Eminence were willing to turn the village on the main road into a more heavily fortified settlement."<br>
<br>
---<br>
<br>
Summary:<br>
<br>
Lothair offers to patrol the road south of the main road and garrison some of his professional troops in the two villages that are potentially at risk from the undead coming from the east. (Darroworth and the village to the northwest of that)<br>
<br>
Lothair also suggests establishing a joint outpost/checkpoint on the main road due to concerns of mass refugees trying to escape from Redwold. These refugees will be desperate and likely turn to banditry if left alone, but early action could perhaps allow them to turn the refugees into additional labor and manpower. Plus, the outpost could serve as a future staging point for the future when the Baron plans to help the townlings.</div>

Lothair set his eyes to return to his manor where he could assess the situation with the council of his Knights and receive their wisdom and thoughts on the matter.</div>

<span style="font-family: 'times new roman'"><span style="font-size: 18px">The Baron bids you farewell, and you head outside with your men. A Stromwood servant woman has just given your horse an apple, before untying it from the stables and handing over the reins as you approach.<b> "Farewell, m'lord."</b> The rest of your affinity likewise climb atop their horses.<br>
<br>
<br>
The ride back to the du Artois manor is relatively uneventful. The day seems to be winding down into the evening by the time you are received by the guardsmen at the bailey. Your castle staff have lit several braziers, with more posted guards and sleepless servants than usual. Word is sent to your advisors to meet you in the manor hall.<br>
<br>
As you are waiting for your feudal officers to appear, a yeoman from Lastrahn approaches you. <b>"M'lord," </b>he greets.<b> "My brother serves in your guard, and I seek to pass on my children to him, so that they may be safe behind the walls while I return to the village,"</b> he requests with a quick bow. Waiting nearby on a horse-drawn cart, there are three daughters, the oldest being in her teens, and two boys who must be no older than ten. <b>"I can pay for their board,"</b> he assures you.</span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Lothair returned to his manor with little issue or particular events, a small blessing for which he thanked the Paragon for. Yet, he had much work to do as the coming days would be challenging and likely test the limits of his people and his own abilities. Yet, as he awaited for the arrival if his officers, Lothair encountered the Yeoman who asked for Lothair to allow his children to seek shelter with his brother, one of his bannermen. Lothair was a bit apprehensive with the idea. He didn't want the castle to be potentially swamped with refugees and concerned parents... there simply were not enough buildings to shelter hundreds of children and accepting these children would set some sort of precedence. Yet... would he deny the safety of children? <br>
<br>
Lothair spoke to the Yeoman. "My good man. I assure you that there is no need to be so fearful and concerned. The curse has not spread far enough to threaten our livelihoods. Yet, if you are so concerned, then I will not turn them away. They may stay for now with your brother, but for the sake of worried parents  and neighbors across the villages... will you find others who would be willing to bring coins together to hire the carpenters to build proper accomodations for the children? You will not be the last to ask me to shelter your children inside the walls, yet I cannot put a roof over hundreds of children. More homes must be built, and I cannot raise and care for the children. I may be able to protect them with these walls, but you and other parents must be able to shelter and provide for them as any parent must do."</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Lothair grimly began to explain what he had learned from his trip. "There is much to discuss. Sir Paryn, I assume that Sir Homwic has informed you of the situation in Darroworth. I rode to speak with the Baron. He faces a rebellion and is stretched thin in the face of an impending wave of 'ghouls' from Redwold. According to the Baron, Aussex has fallen and Redwold is in chaos and under attack by the ghouls with some pockets of city garrisons and burghers remaining, which he seeks to go aid after the rebellion is dealt with. Now, the most concerning part of the Baron's situation. He has come to meet a former member of an ancient and dark order who practiced the dark magics. This... oath-breaker left his order after finding out the extent of how far his masters had fallen into the darkness and the abyss. Yet, despite claiming to want to fight against his former masters... this opportunist seeks material reward for his knowledge and services rather than help the faithful and seek redemption in the eyes of the Paragon."<br>
<br>
Lothair paused for a moment before continuing "I do not trust this turncoat. Yet, I do trust that the Baron is doing his best with the terrible situation that we face and has brought the traitor in as a retainer and adviser. We know nothing about the insidious dark arts and how to fight it. This wretched man, for now, is our best weapon to fight off the undead that will soon flood the countryside and spread the curse. The Baron has extended an offer for mutual defense, and offered custodianship of the villages of Darroworth and Stennon as a sign of good faith and trust if we do agree to help him when attacked by both the ghouls and other opportunists. In effect, the Baron's own lands would serve as a buffer for our own lands from the hordes coming from the east, though we would be expected to help with his current lack of manpower. What are your thoughts on the matter?"</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Lord Artois nodded as he listened to his advisers. They all had similar thoughts to his own. "Aye, Sir Paryn, I told the Baron as well that his decision to trust the traitor was not wise, but he is damned regardless. Without the necromancer, his lands will be overran by the undead and his people cursed as well. With the necromancer... may the Paragon be merciful and judge Baron Stromwood accordingly. Yet, I find myself sympathizing with the Baron. Between working with the necromancer at the cost of his own soul and the safety and duties that he has to his people... I would not abandon the noblesse oblige. The du Artois family is an ancient house that keeps its word and duties for better or for worse. I believe that the Baron has decided to bare the burden of sin to protect his flock. I will not judge him for doing so, yet I will not trust this evil man... if he were to betray his fellow man, then I would be among the first to cut him down where he stands."<br>
<br>
Lothair than looked at his advisors and said "In the face of this terrible dark magic, we cannot survive internal feuding. I fear that this rebellion is enough to weaken our ability to fend off the coming hordes of undead. Frankly, I think both the Baron and the rebels are foolish unless the rebels do not realize the severity of the situation. Yet, the one thing that the Baron has that the rebellion does not is a possibility of protecting what we hold close to our hearts. The charlatan may be lying and not be able to help at all, but there is a possibility that he may provide us with a viable means to fight the coming darkness. The rebellion... armed conflict between living, faithful men... that only leads to death and misery when all our effort should be put towards fending off the dark magic. Thus, I ask you all. No matter what decision we make on the matter. Will you continue to support me so that we may protect those who we are sworn to protect? We simply cannot afford internal conflict and less so in the coming days. But, we may, as the Brother said, have to choose among the lesser of two evils and don the ever guilty crown in order to fulfill our obligations to protect the people. Will you continue stand by me despite having to choose the unthinkable?"</div>

Paryn's face is tight, but he seems to agree as well. <b>"We are kin, Lothair," </b>he says, gesturing towards Homwic as well. He takes a brief moment to look up towards the du Artois banner hanging in the great hall; the bird chasing the sun.<b> "Our ancient house would have been dust in the wind, if our family did not stick together."</b><br>

Brother Holan seems to accept the situation as well. <b>"There are many... particulars, in the scriptures. I am not an ordained man, so I have no final say on any of this.

					<div class="bbWrapper">Lothair nodded and replied "Thank you all. I will sleep on the matter and draft a letter to the Baron in the morning. This has been... among the longest of days. I am sure that you all are anxious about what is to come, yet you must be well rested to be able to act well and think clearly. I urge you all to get some rest. I, myself, will retire to my chambers, but if there is anything you wish to discuss then know that my ears are yours." With that Lothair, would prepare for bed unless he was interrupted by someone or something.  Before going to bed, he would perform his nightly rituals and offer a short prayer at the castle/manor chapel.<br>

<br>
After the eerie and uncertain dark, the sun rises again in the sky, sending beams of light through your room. The sound of the rooster's crow and general chirping of birds reaches your ears.<br>
<br>
<br>
Once you present yourself to the rest of the keep, you receive a few reports.<br>
<br>
Sir Homwic informs you that one of your patrols engaged the undead near Avendar. They were described as two landless vagrants, reanimated by the curse. They had chased a young serf girl before they were cut down by your men, though the archers had already skewered them with arrows before this happened.<br>
<br>
Brother Holan has administered blessings to the castle once again, and has offered to pray with a few of the servant families.<br>
<br>
The apothecary of Lastrahn is said to have been working on herbal methods to fight the curse.</span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Meeting with his advisors and after reading the reports, Lothair asked "Sir Homwic, do you believe that we should focus our attention to the north east? It appears Avendar is more at risk than the other villages... I have half a mind to send all the spears to Avendar and have the folks of the village start to train under the supervision of the footmen there. Furthermore, how many men do you believe we can commit to our agreement with the Baron to patrol the southernmost parts of his domain?" as he began to draft his letter to Baron Stromwood. Lothair then looked up from his letter and looked at Brother Holan, "Brother Holan, you are free to use the castle's chapel to administer daily prayers. Hope and faith are the things that matter when the days are dark. May the Emmortal watch over us in these dark times."</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Lothair looked to Sir Homwic and said "The du Artois family will not shirk from its duties and responsibilities. These people's ancestors were once our forefather's men. Sir Homwic, I will entrust the defense and patrols of the Baron's southern lands to you. Take 10 archers, 7 footmen, and 2 veterans with you and your squire. Ride to Darroworth and set up defenses and patrols. The people there seem eager to protect their homes, but lack organization, training and direction. Things that I know you can provide. That one man... Ralph I believe his name was. He claimed to be a good shot. Where and how he learned to shoot the eye out of a man from a hundred meters away is suspect, but a minor concern in the face of this curse. Attempt to organize local talents like him to help you in your endeavors.<br>
<br>
In addition, take 2 extra riding horses with you. See if you can organize small, rapid, and discreet scouting parties to quickly detect any coming undead from the east. Reading these reports... the ghouls seem slow in nature... they failed to run down a young girl in Avendar. Thus, speed appears to be our ally when dealing with the curse and early detection will allow us to mobilize even quicker. In the mean time, I will reorganize our men and focus on the defense of Avendar. Stay in contact. If 48 hours pass without word from you, then I will assume the worst."<br>
<br>
Lothair then turned to Sir Paryn "Sir Paryn, I will draft a letter to the Pelkeys extending a hand. If they lack experience, then that is something that we in particular will be able to provide. If there are any concerns or questions, then please speak. The day is both long and short and there is much to do."<br>
<br>
Lothair would then draft some letters and seal them with the ancient sigil of the du Artois family once he had time available:<br>
<br>
<i>Hail Baron Stromwood,<br>
<br>
This letter is to confirm our mutual defense agreement in the face of this accursed magic. The du Artois family will not shirk from its ancient noblesse oblige to protect its own people to the best of our abilities. To secure our mutual borders, I have instructed over a score of  my personal bannermen, under the command of Sir Homwic du Artois, to head to Darroworth and begin efforts to organize a cohesive defense from the coming threat to the east. Though, my own lands have begun to see the undead as the village of Avendar was assailed yesterday by the undead. If you have any further knowledge on how to combat these unholy beings, then I eagerly await to learn. As the situation develops, I will continue to reassess and commit more men and resources to fight this mortal threat to mankind.<br>
<br>
With Sincere Mind and Heart,<br>
Lord Lothair du Artois</i><br>
<br>
---<br>
<br>
<i>Hail Lord Pelkey of Squire Top<br>
<br>
I write to you in these uncertain times. Yet it is in the time of great turmoil that the true self appears from the mortal coil of man. As you are aware, a foul curse has struck these lands and the dead rise once more as ghouls and threatens our lands and our people. I have had the opportunity to discuss with Baron Stromwood to organize a united front to address this mortal threat to mankind as we cannot face this threat by ourselves when it has already consumed the great free cities of Midduch. Thus, I write to you to attempt to organize a coordinated defense and response to to coming undead from the east. We can fulfill our duties and responsibilities to our people, neighbors, Lord Stromwood, and the Emmortal. As I write, I am sending my bannermen to the east to help in the defense of Darroworth, which has already been attacked by the undead. Will you join the Baron and I in defending our mutual borders? Together, we can accomplish much and show our true selves and may it be glorious. I eagerly await to hear word from you.<br>
<br>
Lord Lothair du Artois<br>
<br>
---</i><br>
<br>
Basic Summary:<br>
<br>
Sir Homwic and his Squire are given command of 10 Archers, 7 Footmen, 2 Heavy Footmen, and 2 Riding Horses. They are to set off to Darroworth to organize defenses, patrols, and scouting parties in the east.<br>
<br>
The first batch of 40 spears is sent to Avendar so that training and drilling can begin.<br>
<br>
Lothair writes and send two letters, one to Baron Stromwood and one to Lord Pelkey.</div>

"It will be done, my lord," </b>Sir Homwic replies. <b>"I will ensure that you are regularly informed of the goings-on in Darroworth, and I will do my best to work with the locals."</b> He then summons his squire and goes about mustering the aforementioned men, also gathering some foodstuffs and ale to bring along to sustain the defense party.

Your letters are dispatched, and the messengers return later on in the day. </span></span><span style="font-family: 'times new roman'"><span style="font-size: 18px">You receive two scrolls bearing the seals of the lords.<br>
<br>
Lord Angas Stromwood grants praise in response to your contribution of troops, and states that the local bailiff will cooperate with your men. He advises you to cleave the skulls and smash the heads of the undead monstrosities, as they otherwise appear impervious to all other assaults that would kill a living man. He also tells you to be wary of reanimated beasts; though some are definitely more harmful than others. He describes how passive creatures, such as cows, will be stricken with undeath the same as a man. While they are <i>"grotesque, unnatural things with strangely balanced humours",</i> they don't appear to attack anyone.<br>
<br>
<br>
As for the scroll with Lord Pelkey's seal...</span></span><br>

<br>
<span style="font-size: 18px"><span style="font-family: 'times new roman'">The scroll is rather long, somewhat sloppily written in parts, but ultimately Lord Pelkey informs you that he is willing to join your defense. He can spare two scores of men, mainly levies, to patrol the hamlets between Stennon and Darroworth. However, he informs you that he has been beset by refugees as well as undead originating from the township of Redwold. He states that he has a decent number of horsemen, <i>"not proper knights or anything but rather hobelars I believe they are called"</i> - and that he wants to deploy them on the road, just south of Stromwood castle, past the hill. He also requests for assistance to help build lodgings for the refugees, and mentions the Lastrahn carpentry guild.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Lothair read the message from the Baron carefully. Not all who were cursed returned to attack humans... why this was the case... Lothair wasn't certain, but if undead cows remained passive... then could they be used as tireless labor animals? Not needing to rest, or eat while plowing the fields non-stop? Lothair brought the idea up to Sir Paryn. "If what the Baron says is true... then we could turn certain animals into undead draft animals that will not stop to rest, drink or eat. Imagine... a lone undead cow plowing an entire village's fields within a fortnight. Regardless, Sir Paryn, will you spread word of the Baron's message? It appears my assumption that the futility of attacking anything except the head is true, though crippling the legs may slow them down. In addition... pass the idea of using an undead cow along to the Masters of the villages. I will leave it to their own discretion if they wish to attempt to use an undead animal as a source of labor."<br>
<br>
Lothair then began to draft a reply to Lord Pelkey:<br>
<br>
"Lord Pelkey,<br>
<br>
I am glad to hear word from you and your eagerness to address the situation. Your offer to send men to help patrol the road in between Stennon and Darroworth is welcome. I myself have just tasked Sir Homwic with organizing the defenses and patrols in the region with a score of my own bannermen. He can likely be found in Darroworth as Baron Stromwood has granted temporary custodianship of the village while its master rides north to quell the rebellion. I ask that your men coordinate with Sir Homwic so that we can maintain a united and cohesive front that is prepared to meet any threat from the east. <br>
<br>
To that I end, I praise your initiative and idea with your hobelars. I too have ideas for the main road and the east that I spoke with Baron Stromwood. I would eventually like for us to build a military encampment there. However, first we must ensure the safety of our people and villages. Your hobelars, I believe would be more useful at suuporting our patrols in the region, but more importantly as scouts. If they are willing to make quick, rapid ventures to the east to attempt to gather intelligence, then we will be better able to make more effective plans.<br>
<br>
For now, know that the only way to kill the undead is to destroy the head and that the corpses of the recently deceased should be cremated as soon as possible as the curse takes a bit of time to bring back from the dead. In addition, animals are affected by the curse though more docile creatures like cows do not attack the living when they are brought back. I will send word to the carpenter's guild that their services are sought by your lordship and I will also ask my bailiffs and knights if their villages or hamlets are able to accomodate some of your refugees to help alleviate the issue. If there is anything else that you are in need of or seek advice, then know that my ears are yours, Lord Pelkey.<br>
<br>
Lord Lothair du Artois"<br>
<br>
---<br>
<br>
Basic Summary:<br>
<br>
1. The Knights, Masters and bailiffs of the du Artois fief are told that the only proven way to kill the undead is to destroy the head. In addition, that animals can become undead as well though not all undead animals are hostile. Undead cows are docile and could potentially be used as a source of untiring labor. They are also asked if they are able to accomodate refuguees from Lord Pelkey's domains. Perhaps, they can be settled and put to work in the fields? Or perhaps they have unique trades/skills?<br>
<br>
2. Lothair replies to Lord Pelkey, praising his initiatives and urges him to have his men coordinate with Sir Homwic in Darroworth. The Hobelars in particular could be used as scouts.<br>
<br>
3. Lothair sends word to the carpenter's guild that their services are sought by Lord Pelkey in building accomodations for the refugees.</div>

<span style="font-family: 'times new roman'"><span style="font-size: 18px">The suggestion to use undead beasts as draft animals is a bit of an awkward one, considering the glances your advisors exchange.<br>
<br>
<b>"<i>'Let Man not make use of the profane magicks. Sorcery, necromancy, warlockery. Let us only find solace in our faith in the Hallowed Realm',</i>" </b>Brother Holan reminds you, paraphrasing from the holy scriptures.<br>
<br>
<b>"Regardless," </b>Sir Paryn adds, <b>"the peasants would be too shy for such a thing, at least right now. Not that we should we should <i>ever</i> do it- but..."</b><br>
<br>
Brother Holan's expression does not change, remaining rather flat. <b>"I can always find out more about the undead for you, my lord. <i>'Paragon smiles upon the curious scholar'</i>. The fact that not all of them are ravenous... it is surprising, but that doesn't mean we should let our guard down around the things. The common man rightfully recoils in disgust in the presence of undeath."</b><br>
<br>
Sir Paryn clears his throat. <b>"Any which way, the knowledge on how to destroy the undead is very valuable. I will spread the word. Before we send word to the carpenter's guild at Lastrahn, I believe it will create a small conflict with our spear order. How shall we address that?"</b></span></span></div>

"Pardon the rather unscrupulous suggestions. However, ever since I was barely a page, it has been drilled into me that one should always try to understand and attempt to think like the enemy. All of us here have been martial men at one point or another and know the value of intelligence and strategizing. It is a mental exercise to further my understanding of what the cursed are capable of... and what their weaknesses may be. If there are others who will be willing to use the dark magics, then we must be prepared and understand what they are capable of, eternally laboring draft animals being one potential asset that they will have. Brother Holan, I will entrust you to continue to learn about the undead. Their gruesome nature is not for the faint of heart as you have stated, yet I believe your faith will be smiled upon by the Emmortal and the Paragon will guide you."<br>
<br>
Lothair then turned his attention to Sir Paryn and said "The spear order should only take four more days until it is finished. By the time that the carpenter's guild sends a representative to meet with the Lord , negotiate the terms of their services, and then survey the land that they must build, I imagine most of the order will already be accomplished. If not, then I do not mind if the carpenter's guild splits the labor in half though I expect fair compensation for the extension in time that the order will take."<br>
<br>
Lothair turned his attention back to the council as a whole "Has our messenger to Clay Bailey returned? Have we heard word yet?"</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Lothair looked towards Gideon and asked "Thank you for the report. Get some rest once you leave the hall. However, I must inquire more about what you saw before you depart. Lord Caleyston has abandoned his castle? What... abysmal news this is. Has the Sheriff of Redwold taken command of Clay Bailey or was a patrol merely passing by? What of the residents of Clay Bailey and its attached villages and hamlets? Were all the hamlets on the way already devastated by the curse?" as he poured a cup of ale to hand to the senior retainer. He then looked to his council and said "Depending on the circumstances, it may be prudent to evacuate the Clay Bailey fief and save whoever we can. The fewer who die... the less we have to worry about."</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Lothair looked towards Gideon and said "Lord Caleyston has abandoned his castle? What... abysmal news this is. This lot you encountered seemed to be little more than brigands... Emmortal knows what may have happened to the sheriff or if he is even alive." as he handed the man the cup of ale. "Drink and get some well deserved rest, Gideon. Job well done." Lothair returned his attention to his council and said "The situation is indeed dire if Lord Penn has fled and the only thing maintaining a semblance of order is a gaggle of self-appointed inquisitors. We must establish some sort of authority and order in the region, else we may risk having a Bandit King set themselves up in the east. Master Silas, how long has it been since the lands of Clay Bailey has had the colors of the du Artois flying over them? Any meaningful claims or legitimacy that we may be able to use to garner some respect, and dare I say fear to stamp out the banditry before its roots settle? The last thing we need is for the undead to take advantage of the chaotic situation in the east... perhaps... we should attempt to evacuate some of the hamlets that have survived so far?"</div>

<br>
<b>"Well, my lord, it must be... at least a hundred years ago. It was when the family was still a member of the realm's baronage. I recall it now... King Cauran II confiscated Clay Bailey from Lord Aspen du Artois due to his 'incompetence' when, engaged in his lawful feodal duties, executed a Galdic warlord who just so happened to have held royal favor. Of course, this was many generations ago."</b><br>
<br>
He shakes his head after lamenting the family's loss.<b> "The lordship of Clay Bailey, in this era, is practically just a bunch of nonsense... the original stone castle, which had been occupied by House Kerrett some centuries ago, was ultimately destroyed by their lordship's own tenants and replaced with this shoddy wooden construction we see today- and aside from those two impoverished vills, there is little else to speak of... Most of the major landowners in those villages are, in fact, townlings from Redwold anyway... so personally, I am not surprised that the Sheriff of that township is somehow involved in Clay Bailey's affairs. From what I have heard, Lord Penn amounts to little more than a simple knight in practice; granted, he is one of House Caleyston's important bannerets, nonetheless..."</b><br>
<br>
Your advisor continues. <b>"We could try to evacuate a few of the surrounding hamlets... but caring for displaced peasants would be another matter entirely. It will put a strain on our resources," </b>he states simply. <b>"Our subjects also do not hold folk from the lands surrounding Clay Bailey in particularly high regard either, due to their association with... assorted<i> riffraff</i>... from the township. In the past, a family of yeomen was killed in Avendar by a band of most<i> vile </i>bandits associated with a certain Redwold burgher... who himself was later slain by the local Merchants' Guild over an unrelated incident. Overall, such a cutthroat way of life is not known to the simple du Artois tenants, making them quite wary of outsiders."</b><br>
<br>
<br>
Sir Paryn thinks for a few moments after listening to the household clerk.<b> "Well, they're violating the King's Law by raiding the countryside. This also poses a threat to our domains... I do not think anybody would think twice if we just slew them all- the rogues, of course. But aside from what we know from Gideon's report, there is precious little knowledge about the situation."</b></span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Lothair listened attentively as Master Silas explained the history of the du Artois family.  "A<span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"> hundred years ago... at least plenty of time has passed since the Royal Family has passed judgement upon the du Artois family. I, for one, would not want to still have the attention of the Royal Family</span>." Lothair replied to lighten the mood a bit. There was no use in mourning for the distant past despite the power and wealth that the du Artois family once wielded. "<span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">Let us focus on the present where we can still act. The people of Clay Bailey may have wronged ours in the past, yet the matter of family feuds pales in comparison to eternal damnation and corruption of the spirit due to this curse. Regardless, it is not my intention to have any displaced peasants be a complete burden upon our people. They will work where possible. Surely, there are landowners who can use an extra hand in the fields or the carpenter's guild must surely need more porters to aid in moving all the materials needed for construction? If the peasants truly despise the thought of sheltering the peasants of Clay Bailey, then we could keep them contained to the north in Darroworth and Stennon. In the end, whether we ride to evacuate the hamlets or not. There WILL be refugees coming from the east. We must prepare for that eventuality. Master Silas, will you inquire and gather information for any fields, fisheries, orchards, lumberyard, or workshop if they are in need of additional unskilled labor?</span> <span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">Otherwise, we may have to consider sending refugees further west or north unless they possess particular skills or training.</span>"<br>
<br>
"<span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">Given our obligations to the Baron, we do not have enough men to call upon to rout out the bandits and I have no interest in calling upon the levy given that we must have a productive harvest in the midst of all this chaos.</span> <span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">We must utilize all that we have at our disposal. Master Silas, will you draft a letter to Sir Homwic and Lord Pelkey. Inform them that they, if unable to deal with the influx of refugees, should consider sending them on their way further west unless they have useful skills, training, knowledge or talent. I suspect that we will have an influx of many unskilled laborers from the city and farmers. We will likely not be able to help shelter all of them and sheltering them in cramped and squalid conditions would be cruel and unsafe. These people will have better fortunes in the west, away from the undying monsters.</span> <span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">Those who are skilled will be fewer and more able to provide services that will aid us in our stand against the unholy.</span><span style="color: null">"<br>
<br>
Lothair fell silent for a moment as he then spoke once more "</span><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">Food is a major concern... Sir Paryn, let us explore contingencies and backup plans for a bad harvest or a sudden wave of refugees. Will we be able to expand our fisheries to perhaps catch more fish? Perhaps, we should seek seamstresses to craft fishing nets and attempt to obtain more boats? Or would a large hunt be enough to supplement a meager harvest?  In addition... perhaps we should consider ways to preserve food so that there is less waste and spoiled food? Would salting, smoking or perhaps... turning our surplus foods into pemmican be an option?</span><span style="color: null">"</span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="font-family: 'times new roman'"><span style="font-size: 18px">Your clerk agrees to draft the letters, and also says he'll complete a survey of potential employers for potentially useful peasant &amp; townling refugees, any charitable families willing to take in strangers, etc., and estimate how many extra hands your local populace would be willing to support.<br>
<br>
As you bring up agricultural and culinary matters with Sir Paryn, he does not look like he can confidently answer. <b>"Our way of life depends on collecting our rightful dues from the farmers," </b>he remarks.<b> "I could instruct our extra servants to focus on hunting and fishing, though the castle might be a bit less tidy. And while that could likely feed the mouths at our castle, we have many other tenants, of course. I could see what supplies we would need to create some proper boats, I'll send a message to Pelleck."</b><br>
<br>
Your steward, also your kin, now remarks on the levies. <b>"Not all lords in this shire are willing to deploy their levies- and well, some of the more... <i>disorganized</i> ones aren't able to at all... I am happy that our House is at least cultured enough to retain our ancient right to call our land's freemen to arms. We still have special constables in our villages that keep track of the eligible men, making sure they're practicing, all sorts of things. Not every man in the village is a part of it, since only a few have the proper equipment. If they're only deployed for a few days, I do not think it will interrupt the harvest severely. I believe Sir Marolyn, Sir Kelias, and Sir Horne are already using levies as part of their local patrols anyway."</b></span></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Lothair nodded as he listened to Sir Paryn. The ability to raise the levy was... always available. Yet, he hesitated in raising it unless the situation was dire. However, they currently had the luxury to act and go on the offensive if need be... an option that could very well not be available later. <span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"You speak the truth, Sir Paryn. And it seems that the best way to discern the truth is for me to personally ride to the east and head to Clay Bailey. I will take whatever men that we can spare and ride out to Darroworth. I entrust you to look after matters here and make preparations to further our food stocks as we have discussed. Master Silas, also write to the masters of the villages and inform them of my intent to ride east to help bring order and peace upon our doorstep. If the situation in Clay Bailey is not dire, then we will return promptly once we are certain that we will not be attacked and that lawlessness is not rampant. They are to levy all who they can without compromising the protection and security of the villages and meet me at Darroworth where our host will then march east towards Clay Bailey. Pray that this will be a quick and easy march and that we will be back in a matter of days. Master Silas, you will stay and aid Sir Paryn in his duties. Brother Holan, you will ride with me. We may have weapons and armor to protect our mortal coil, yet in the face of evil we will need faith to shepherd us."</span><br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Lord Wolff looked to his men and replied. "We will continue onward towards Darroworth and meet with the rest of the men and continue to rally our host. Our course has changed, once the men are ready and formed up, we set forth to Lord Stromwood and answer his call to aid. Without peace and order in the lands, mankind and the faithful have no chance to stand against the hordes of undead. May reason and faith prevail on this day."<br>
<br>
He looked towards the rider and said "Has Lord Pelkey been informed of the situation or has a rider been sent to inform him? If not, you should ride with haste to inform him of the potential conflict. Otherwise, you are welcome to ride with the Host of House Wolff and guide us to your Lord." With that, House Wolff would continue to rally its men and then set off to the north instead of the east.</div>

"Aye, your lordship. Lord Pelkey's forces has been summoned as well,"</b> the messenger confirms. He tells you he must go on ahead, as he can't afford to ride at the pace of the infantry in your party.<br>
<br>
The march towards the village of Darroworth is rather uneventful. You see a few farmers on the roadside frields looking displeased and worried at the graying, even somewhat purpled clouds in the sky. As you draw closer to the village limits, you are greeted by the men you placed under the command of your knightly captain. 10 archers, 2 veterans and 7 footmen join your forces.<b> "Ah, my lord. You came by much swifter than I'd expected," </b>Sir Homwic remarks.<b> "I heard that the Stromwood host is assembling to the north."</b></span></span><br>
