In reply to Shorty (msg # 808):
Alannon smiles: "You are indeed correct Shorty, there is much work to do; however we would not have you take up your task without providing you with the Green Knights equipment." he claps twice and Alannon steps aside. Behind him 2 humans appear, one pushes a wooden post on wheels and hanging from the post is a large set of armor, and the other carries a large 2-handed sword in is scabbard .. both wear a combination of green and brown robes. As they come thru between the other council members they split and stand on either side of Shorty, the crowd is now in a low murmur. Alannon resumes his spot.
Alannon: "The Council will now present the Green Knight his mantle of office." Alannon pulls the armor from the post, the human then moves off with the post back behind the council. The armor looks to be green leather with a pattern of an oak tree on it. "May this armor protect you during your charge as the Green Knight." Alannon announces and presents the armor to Shorty. Then Alannon takes the scabbard & sword, . "To protect Arcturus and any world you find yourself apart, we present to you a weapon befitting the Green Knight, forged from Arcturus and the surrounding heavens, the sword Tainkintana." Alannon presents the sword to Shorty.
Another huge cheer goes up from the crowd. Alannon holds up his hand to bring them back to a low murmur.
"Finally" Alannon announces "a special gift." he produces from his robes a gold circlet in the shape of oak leaves sewn together. He moves toward Shorty to place it on his head. "The Diadem of Clarity"
After placing the diadem upon Shorty's head, Alannon steps back and nods.
The crowd erupts in another roar that again goes on for minutes.
