The Order of the Silver Rose rp

[Miasmata]

A letter is delivered to the knights outside of the gates of the Silver Rose compound.

The delivery is tended to by a Templar with a flowing golden cloak, upon a dark steed. He urges that a reply should see it's way to the Song of the Morning soon and turns upon the road to gallop north at full speed.

Some time after the mounted man, a small young woman hefting an oilskin sack would run up, panting slightly. She would hesitate before offering a sheet of paper and card towards the sentries posted by the gate.

Once assured the authorities within would read her missives, the young woman would quickly down a vial before running off, towards and past the Friendly Arm, and the Lion's Way.

[ PMs to come And they did. ]

*this is posted in the Order of the Silver Rose Patrol Log in the keep*

*begins to write his first entry it seems to even in the writing his hand is shaking*

yesterday i made one of the biggest decisons in my life to become a squire, but befor i did that i walked north and south along the lions way from Baulders Gate to the Friendly Arm Inn, and here is what i saw

Baulders Gate: met a very daper and fine Bardic man we did not talk long he was heading to bergost but seemed to be chasing the more Beautiful of the Species of mortals.

Farmland: picked up a letter from the Sage in the Farmers market he asked that i take it to some nearby ruins, i complied and began this curioring.

Hilltop Ruins: kobolds seem to fester here along with rats then in then going down seem to lead to imps and Bladelings along with alot of moss patches in hindsight if i would have known what my first task was i would have started collecting them earlier. found the man i was to deliver the letter to i tried to give him back his gold but he wouldn't take it ((no option)) i then left the area without incedent.

Lions way heading south befor reaching FAI: Bandits and bears and wild dogs they seem to have issues recognizing races from calling me dwarf to orc makes me wonder about there eye sight. i tried to show many of them the errors of there ways but they procceded to attack me with spears and clubs

FAI: upon reaching the Silve Rose Keep i was met by Sir Seth and Sir William along with Lady Elvina which then lead to 2 of the three i had previously seen 3 days befor in less than happy moods, one of them noticeably was unhappy with me i am unsure why as i don't belive i had ever spoken to her or ever treated her in any ill matter all of us procceded in and began the squire ceremony joined by Lady Gina and one other Miss that i did not reconginze...Lady Elvina preformed one of the best squire cermonies i've seen as of yet and i feel like i was less than that

*Squire Loriah begins her writing tasks reluctantly for Sir Cyrus. Her handwriting is surprisingly clear and ornate.*

Patrol to the Vault of the Dead

Knights and Squires attending:
Gen'ral Seth
Gen'ral Cyrus
Knight Lea
Former Com'mander William
Squire Clint (CJ)
Squire Lori

We traveled by foot to the Fields of the Dead. Our mission was to destroy the undead of the Vault of the Dead, sending them to their final rest. The place reminds me of the Crypts and the Old Coven Keep in the Rodan Cemetary back in our old lands of Elben Aator. Sir Seth gave us all protections, he's quite skilled at that. Was nice having a scout, Lady Lea warned us at every turn how many she sensed nearby. My job was to turn them and stop them in their tracks. Sir Seth and Sir William were the heavy hitters so they stayed in front with Squire Clint right behind them. Sir Cyrus's spells ripped through them like a hot knife through butter amazing us all.

We cleared room by room going along carefully until the bottom level... Still too strong for me, I'm no match for a Dracolich. But we pressed forward.. we had to. Couldn't leave that vile abomination standing so long as we have breath in us. We went in Ethereal, casted the last of our protections and surrounded the beast. Everyone fought bravely, even a few of us got knocked out but it was not yet their time yet. My healing was simply not fast enough for a group so large. Was never all that good at healing. But we took the vile abomination down, healed up those who needed healing with what was left of our supplies and headed back to the Keep by way of teleportation from Sir Cyrus.

We should do this again ... soon.

THE BATTLE OF MINTARN

I arrived at the Fist Compound in the Docks district in Baldurs Gate followed closely by Knight General Gina, Knights Sir John, Sir William, and Sir Elias. We were soon joined by Captain Mealir Osteril and his crew. Once all arrived we were ushered into to meet with General Scar of the Fist. This is where we relayed our plan of attack upon the pirates of Mintarn. And the role the Fist would play into our plans. Our plan was this:

We would travel to Mintarn in two ships, one Captain Mealirs ship, the other a Fist Warship. Upon arriving under the cover of darkness, the warship would remain out at sea. While we, on Captain Mealirs ship, would search for a suitable landing spot on the Northern shore. Where we would disembark and travel just North of the town.

Find a suitable place, a cave or treeline, for us to remain hidden.

Two Scouts of Captain Mealirs choosing would infiltrate the town and and do reconassence. Finding the strengths and weaknesses of the Pirates, as well as the numbers we face.

Once they return and we have the necessary information, a sending would be sent as to when the Fist warship would blockade and attack from the sea, giving a diversion for us to attack from the North.

This was the plan, although this outline is a bit general, it is the one that was agreed too.

Once the plan was agreed too, we set sail.

During the Two days we were under Captain Mealirs hospitality aboard his ship. The sea's were mostly calm, save one small storm that we endured below deck. Hoihe tried to ease the idleness and seasicknes of some, by his singing of mariners' song of battle and Glory. Gliding upon the waves with us spending most of our time below deck.

The Captain took an indirect route as to avoid the usual shipping lanes, to avoid a chance sighting of any Piurate ships.

When were close to the Island, but not yet in sight of the island, an arrow was shot over to the Fist Warship, carrying the message for them to wait here. Which is where they dropped anchor. While we continued to the Northern shore. It is here we foiund a suitable landing sight, in a bay on the Northern shore. We disembarked, using rowboats to row ashore, Leaving Hoihe and another aboard ship to travel back to the Fist warship to ready for attack.

Our travel inland was fairly uneventful, only encountering a Lion pack along the way. Which one of our scouts lured away from our path as to not disturb them. We then followed the river inland, til we found a river crossing and road that lead straight to the town gates. it is here that several among us marked their teleport runes for a timely escape if it were needed.

Surveying the treeline we found a suitable cave for us to take sanctuary while the scouts infiltrated the town itself.

The scouts, a Miss Soora Luelles and Vendor Xon, left on their mission into the town, while we waited inside the cave. I had Sir William, Sir John, and Sir Elias explore the cave, while we waited inside the entrance for the scouts to return. After a long while I sent Lady Gina, to check on our knights progress. It is while she searched for them, she discovered another exit to the cave. Most fortunate discovery as it turns out, as this exit led right into the town itself. And would ultimately be the entrance we would use.

After many hours of waiting the scouts returned with the information we needed, as well as with a prisoner. They explain this Pirate with mace in hand, was chasing a young boy, and they had no choice but to subdue him. They extracted some information, I'm not sure if it was from their prisoner or from the young boy, but the prisoner was beaten severely. The information was that the leader, as was the main body of the pirates, were in the Town Hall. Which was near the Northern gates. Before leaving they asked the Boy to warn the residents, who were hiding in their house afraid of these pirates, that help was on the way and to remain in their houses while the battle ensues.

There was a discussion as what to do with the prisoner, First it was suggested to Break an arm or leg so he could not escape and warn his pirate friends. To which I refused Flatly with no uncertainly, which Sir Elias agreed, but once they saw the seriousness of my conviction it was agreed that he would be restrained by rope.

Word was sent to Hoihe by sending that the attack would commence in the early morning hours of Dawn. Firstly the Fist warship would move into place to blockaide the harbor and begin the attack. Which would give us the diversion to attack from the North. We proceeded to the cave exit which led directly into town.

Once the attack began we invaded. We met heavy resistance once we were in town, after one scirmish another quickly began. We methodically went thru the streets, putting down any resistance we met. which ultimately led us to the Town Hall. All the while the bombardment of the warships was invaluable to our cause.

Once inside the TownHall the fighting became more intense, with resistance round every corner. These inside the Town Hall were their captain's strongest fighters, his elite, if you will. Our Knights fought Long and hard here, many injuries were incurred. As well as with Captain Mealir and his men. We healed as we could and pressed forward. Until we met the captain of the Pirates, there was no discussion only swords flying in every direction. the Battle was intense.

But we prevailed and the Pirate Captain and all of his Pirates that we found have been dispatched. And Mintarn is safe and free from Tyranny once again.

We should send food and supplies to Mintarn to help them in their time of need in recovering.

*A Letter passed to the Guardsmen of the Order of the Silver Rose by a messenger dressed in a nice medium blue tunic with sky blue trim and leather jerkin bearing the personal coat of arms of Lady Tara Rahn.*

Lady Elvina I am currently recovering from injuries suffered during a reconnaissance of the cavern inhabited by Minotaurs in the Central Cloak Wood. The cavern is just downstream from the waterfall and fallen tree bridge. I was on a task assigned by the smith at the Thunder Hamber Smithy in my home town of Beregost. I want you to know I am well and will return to my patrols shortly.

A man in heavy armor and a golden cloak can be seen hovering near the Gates of the Silver Rose compound with a missive in hand; the guards could easily spot that the missive boasts the seal of the Song of the Morning.

Once it is handed over the templar bows with a fist over his heart and departs in a grim manner.

[Miasmata]

A missive is written and stamped with the Song of the Morning’s official seal. On the face of it boasts a crisp and clean lettering and it is directed to “Squire Clint.”

A templar in a golden cloak can be seen handing the missive off to the guards at the gate of the Silver Rose complex.
