Elliana was quiet, and bided her time time as Maria stood and cried out declamations to the King's statement. Something about this conversation was burning in her head and she was taking her time to comprehend it. Oh yes, she just needed to wait for the right moment.

Zarusian soldiers

The King looks beffudled to Maria and stays there for a few seconds. The nobles begin to whisper and talk in low voice till the King turns to Siarani Fieryheart and speaks some words to her ear. The Lady tells him some words and the King retakes the word.

"Lady Brightmane, I am sure your contribution was important as the effort of every Lady and Lord that helped in this noble cause. And for that, I thank you."

Albreich Hermanel then clears his throat. "Your Majesty, I have to say that Lady Brightmane here doesn't share your gratitude with your army or the nobles that dispatched the undead horde. Not only she denied us shelter in her lands, she even threatened a preacher of Pelor that Lord Elazran saved from her wrath."

His accusations are followed by Beltan Elazran's words. "And noone has ever seen her so called lich. My King, allow me to illustrate you about who are the deserters of this military force she cooperated with: Bridgeburners! Murderers from the Karot Empire! The evil empire that has subjugated dozens of realms like yours, my King, stealing the power over those lands and people from their rightful rulers!" He turns to Maria and Elliana and extends his hands, as if introducing the King to the zarusian warriors. "And as they said, birds of a feather flock together."

Lady Fieryheart keeps silence, but the other nobles sitting in his table applaud Elazran's words. The nobles in the other tables begin to speak to each other.

The King talks to Lady Siarani Fieryheart and after hearing her whisper he stands up and looks at Maria and Elliana. "What do you have to say in your defense, Lady Brightmane and Lady Zusari?"


-------------------------

Bridgeburners

The Captain pays attention to Ezourer's words. "We are in a desperate situation, indeed. But for now we can only wait. Rest now, Ezourer, but keep an eye on Glasenter. I guess tomorrow will be a long day."

OOC: Prepare spells.

Elliana stood and placed her hand upon the helm as she calmed herself with a deep breath, making a motion for Maria to stay out of this if she would. She glanced first at the king, then Albreich, and finally Beltan. Her words were soft and her voice lovely, despite the edge beneath it.


"Before I answer your majesty, I would like to request a clarification. It has come to my attention that the story that has been spread was Lady Maria and myself where saved by the Soldiers of Pelor. I will not speak for the Lady Maria and her lands, but something gnaws at my heart and plagues my mind. I wish to hear the official story, by the Champions of Pelor, sworn before God and King, before I respond."

Lady Maria calmly listens the accusations which she kind of expected and she replies; "I can swear under name of my god and Pelor's also that there was lich and it was defeated. true I cooperated with Bridgeburners which were deserters from Karot Empire. It's true Karot Empire is our nation's enemy but greater enemy were undead and instead running from our kingdom Bridgeburner's fought for your country my king. Why? Because they left Karot Empire behind and sought a new home for themselves.

What I heard Karot Empire betrayed Bridgeburners after they landed on our shores and it was Bridgeburners which defeated the entire empire vanguard with serious losses. Now when speaking war crimes, who is truly the blame? The unit or the very empire who commanded them perform said crimes for it's benefit?

When soldiers die in battlefield, is it soldier's fault they die or the commander who send them to die? Who carries responsibility? In my teachings always the commander, the king and the empire carries the burden of deeds of it's soldiers, not the unit itself.

They had chances to loot, pillage, rape and rob from villages which we passed but they did not do such things. Only focus slaying undead and driving towards it's hearth; lich leader which held horde together and coordinated. Same way how you allied with dwarves and elves to fight against common enemy, I allied with Bridgeburners despite they were mixed bunch of non-humans. My alliance with them ended when lich, the main threat, was over. But I carried no malice and I would had given them chance to find place to stay or if not welcome at least get peaceful departure and our kingdom's thanks defeating a dangerous foe.

Instead, pelorite led king's army arrives with dwarves and elves and send their allies to kill people which kingdom owed a debt. Send allies because pelorites just did not like Bridgeburners and satisfy bloodlust of their allies which they valued more than follow simple ethics of honor."

As words settle in and Elliana makes also her claim clear Lady Maria nods and says; "I would like also hear the rumors spread about rescuing me and my units. As we never were rescued, we came here because I was told all involved with war with undead must make presence known to him.

What comes to not letting king's army to rest in my lands is about said preacher spreading lies and disdain my honor as a noble of my domain and thus I accuse Lord Elazran from baseless spreading of slander and dishonoring a fellow noble. As the preacher came day before king's army and there is no doubt Lord Elazran send said man ahead on purpose spread slander.

I demanded Commander Fieryheart to serve as a judge on this dispute but he refused, because of conflicting personal interest in the matter, which I wholeheartedly agree since display how he send dwarves and elves kill people which as pelorite and as knight of the king should had very least thanked instead killing them. Thus he transfered the matter of the decision to you my king how it's settled or solved out.

Because this was unsolved and Commander Fieryheart threatened use king's forces to harm me and my domain if I anyway would had performed a arrest on Lord Elazran, I refused give army shelter in my domain because of that decision. May it be king's army or orc army or dwarf army, any army commander who threatens me and my subjects lives shall never get shelter from my hold."

OOC: Lady Maria makes aid another on Elliana's diplomacy so it sounds we had been abused against (misuse of king's army power) and lied about. Which is indeed correct in our own genuine opinion anyway.

09:02, Today: Lady Maria Brightmane rolled 26 using 1d20+11. Diplomacy (aid another).

Wow, nice roll. Pity it's aid another and no doubt I screw up any actual rolls with my modifier. Anyways Elliana got 29 roll with that.

It is no other than High Priest Fantder Fieryheart who nods and looks to Elliana.

"My King, at noon we reached a fortress. Great was our joy when the alliance found with divination magic that the living had taken it from the grasps of the undead. I sent one of my men to congratulate the victors and he came to me with the news that Lady Brightmane and Lady Zusari were there."

He looks to everyone present and then to the King.

"Our fear was evident to our allies and they used divination magic to know what was going on. Elves and Dwarves found their sworn enemies, Zarusians and Karot Empire all in a same place. The opportunity was too good for them to pass. I begged our allies to spare the lives of the Zarusians, and to this day, I thank Pelor for illuminate me with the exact words to touch their hearts. For you remember, my King, that the elves didn't doubt in protecting humanity from their very own kind when the Eldreth Veluuthra appeared. No humans destroyed the elves that wanted to elliminate us as a whole race, but the elves guided by the clerics of Corellon Larethian waged war against those enemies of peace. But there I was now, obbeying your order to bring you any noble that helped in the war, even when the answer to my messages was just one question: "Why do we tolerate humans that hate our allies when our allies don't tolerate those who hate humans?" Finally, I could them see the other way and I went to the gates, asking the Zarusians to come with me, for they had escaped retribution while the fate of the Bridgeburners was already decided by their crimes. We healed them... We did it hoping that this war would erase our differences for a short time at least. And then, Lady Maria Brightmane denied us refugee in her lands because she saw a missionary preaching the word of Pelor in her lands. Your father, my king, was the one that declared that no man or woman of faith could be persecuted for their religion, foreseeing the abuse of power that Lady Brightmane displayed in that moment!"

The nobles begin to shout, enraged by Fieryheart's speech.

Elliana sighed softly as the shouting continued and she waited a moment. Seeing no din coming she placed her hand to her chest as her armor shattered into motes of light, leaving her in simple tunic and pants. Despite the more common attire, she stood tall. Though the magic of her armor fading had made sure with a sudden shock to make sure she would be heard.

"So you say High Priest, and so I will respond. Not only as a Follower of Zarus, but also as a subject of our Majesty. I am Elliana Zusari, and for generations my family has been loyal to this kingdom. I am not of high nobility, nor does my rank allow me to speak for the temple of Zarus. So listen please to my words."

A quiet sigh as she calmed herself, her body now much more on display for the nobles that screamed and raged about the high priests words.

"You speak of the fact that religion can be freely pursued, yet you stand before me and state it is obvious that the elves and dwarves would want to kill us. Allies of our kingdom would seek to murder we faithful subjects? because of our faith? We obey our kings laws, we follow the throne faithfully and proudly. And yet these armies, these armies you bowed your head to and begged, would kill his soldiers on his lands doing his will? You tell me these noble allies who wonder why you tolerate us, where not only willing but pleased with the opportunity to murder us as we obeyed our lords will?!"

She spread an arm out wide as her voice raised to make sure the attention was on her, eyes wide as she found this idea immensely alarming.

"By your gods grace, only through perfect words from the high priest of Pelor, the right hand of our king, they -allowed- you to call us away. You speak of Armies that march within our borders, happy to murder subjects of our king, in a kingdom that promotes religious freedom, because of our religion? You can stand there stating on an oath before both your god and your king, that they would kill us for our faith on our own lands?!?"

Elliana grit her teeth and drew her arm back, standing tall despite how much this fact seemed to bother her. Her fingers clenched quietly into a fist.

"Are those the actions of our allies? To murder us rather then talk to the king? Do they honor him so little? I would be happy to meet them and defend myself honorably as our king has deemed it, but even the High Priest speaks of their decision to slay us in cold blood before he intervened. How are your subjects, how am -I-, supposed to feel safe to settle down and have families? How can I serve my king when the allies, eager to kill me for my faith, are allowed free reign despite this desire? In this land of religious freedom!?"

Finally Elliana slumped into her chair exhausted, breathing deeply as she stared at the king. She spoke softly though her voice carried, exhausted from exposing her fears and concerns.

"My lord, how can this be? that our allies are not subject to the same laws as everyone else? Even we Zarusians settle our issues in your courts, and at your laws. But these armies are free to murder as they please? What honor, or justice, is there in this?"


(Wasn't sure if you wanted any specific rolls to play up how attractive Elliana is, but if its another check feel free to roll it for me. She's playing up the fact she's single and afraid for her safety though.)
01:47, Today: Elliana rolled 11 using 1d20+6. Charisma Check (General Aesthetic Appeal).
01:46, Today: Elliana rolled 35 using 1d20+22. Diplomacy.

Lady Maria listened as Elliana talked and pointed exact the point what she planned to present....but Elliana made a far greater show of it than she ever would had. She had to resist from smiling and thus ruin her dramatic display where she gathered attention to the glaring fact which pelorite digged himself in; either their non-human allies are dangerous and break ethos of religious freedom of their kingdom and thus are considered national threat, or he had lied all along bargaining with said allies.

As Elliana finished Lady Maria looked on the high priest and said; "Commander Fieryheart told me at the gates in any other circumstance he would had let me or Elliana to die in hands of elves or dwarves, all just because of our chosen faith. That statement alone breaks very notion of rescuing us, as act to rescue must happen for sake of compassion and there was not any in Commander Fieryheart's tone as he talked with me. He spoke of gratitude being reason why he bargained but I wondered was there a political motive also; to prevent my and Elliana and my soldiers blood staining elven and dwarven hands and thus break code of the very alliance which pelorites drew benefit from.

We were injured and we were no longer in alliance with Bridgeburners, we were willing to let elven and dwarven armies inside the fortified city to celebrate peacefully on victory over the undead as Sir Hagglum first proposed! Instead, because of our chosen faith, elven and dwarven armies did not hesitate to act and prepare slaughter us! Very subjects of this kingdom, both noble and commoner alike!

You still wonder why we got our own militia in my lands? You wonder still why Zarusites preach be wary of your non-human neighbors? You still wonder why Zarusites distrust other races so much?

Also when we were rescued, we were not escorted like people who got saved. We were guarded inside pelorite army to point that they questioned, nay, prepared stop my hunter going to hunt for some fair game for dinner! What rescuer does that? No one I know of. We were treated more like prisoners which had not been given chains.

Then we arrive my lands where is a pelorite preacher who was part of king's army, I am not against pelorites holding preaches but this preacher did not preach about Pelorite faith expect small amount. The preacher spread slander about my deeds in the war, calling coward and as whore who had slept with kingdom's enemy to achieve victory. It was not preaching, but a slandering propaganda done by another noble, Lord Elazran, as means discredit my efforts in the war in guise of preaching Pelorite faith.

So if preachers are allowed to insult nobles directly with no negative consequence in this country, would the king approve if preacher talks about him and his ancestors in negative light just because preacher was 'preaching'? No religion which respects the authority and law of the kingdom would not do that, no Zarusite preacher has directly insulted any noble so far as I know as part of sermon.

Only a Pelorite could think use whatever means necessary to bring other person down in name of good, thus ignore past king's order and wishes to allow any faith flourish which is not harmful to the kingdom, a law which brings harmony and peace in kingdom with various faiths without it going to Civil War. Thus a pelorites run faith above the needs and laws of the kingdom. Only Pelorite faith would run unorthodox approach in breaking harmony and stability for sake of good.

Yet when I called upon Lord Elazran from doing this insult and abuse of clerical faith, Commander Fieryheart interfered and threatened with a sword me and my domain if I anyway would had arrested him so I would had brought him to justice on the matter. So you call me abusing my powers? So far you have two abuses of power before mine Commander Fieryheart, three if you count placing actual rearguard to spy me with divinations and ready to block my advance to capital if I anyway moved faster than your army. All for sake that you got time pamper yourself and polish your armor while denying me same time."

OOC: Lady Maria again aid another's Elliana's diplomacy (which auto succeed with +11 mod) as that was exact point Lady Maria is driving in as well; that a king's army had to 'bargain' with two allied non-human forces to spare subjects of the kingdom. A kingdom which has freedom to practice any faith which is not hostile and Zarusite faith has not been hostile at all to other races directly. More a competitive and overall distrust towards them yes.

Anyways treat Elliana's roll also applying the other issues, anyways there is no religious sermon or zealotry in Lady Maria's speech. Just direct calm voiced talk done by noble who has returned from fierce war and in her homeland she is abused by other nobles who hide behind cover of popular faith who has more backing than hers has.

High Priest Fieryheart hits the table with his fist after hearing you.

My King, do we have to heard such words? Isn't it true that a man forges his own self? A king may order to attack another nation and murder innocent people, but isn't a man that obbey the order to kill everything in his path, including harmless people, responsible for his own actions? Is an assassin innocent just because he has been hired by someone else? No, and the innocent blood that they have shed in multiple regions of this world still claim for justice! We are not even talking about men with feeble minds, that kill because of fear of the wrath of their emperor. Bridgeburners were the elite task force of the Karot Empire! A horde as dangerous and vicious as the forces of the abbyss! And you want us to think that we owe something to this scum? Let's see what we owe to the Bridgeburners, your majesty!

The entire destruction of Bastion, a town with ten thousands souls! They burned it to the ground to do battle against the undead army! And this Lady Maria Brightmane knows too well, because she was there! When the allied forces arrived to the ruins of Bastion, we healed the wounded, we gave food to the hungry and water to the thirsty. And by we, I mean humans, dwarves and elves! Brightmane, who fills her mouth with words of honor and ethics, a follower of a religion that claims to care about humans never healed them, never gave them food. She only fought and when the Bridgeburners came with a plan so absurd she never questioned it.

And now she dares to lie about what a poor preacher of Pelor has said. No commoneer would call such things to a noblewoman for they know the virtue of our ladies... and the wrath of Brightmane. And if there is any doubt, I will give the order to search for him in every town, in every temple to bring him to you, my king, and with magic you will see the truth of his words. No, that missioner only preached about what he say with his own eyes, and wasn't afraid of anything till Brightmance came and threatened him!

And let it be known too that I impeded Lady Brightmane break this kingdom's law when I stopped her attempt to go above her rights as a noble by arresting Lord Elazran. She was the first one who continuously taunted knights to battle her, like a capricious child attempting to attract attention. What peace, my king, could we hope for, if a noble sees fit to arrest another one just because? Wouldn't both family fight each other, employing not only duels or diplomacy but also armies? The unneeded spill of blood and the desire to avoid it are the origins of this law. But Brightmane decided that she could do what she wanted in her lands, as if she was a Queen! And now here she is, my King, asking for your judgement, the very judgement that she was so willing to ignore! She wants to add an accusation against me for spying her? Very well, I couldn't expect a less cynical attitude from her. I want her to produce any proof of that, or allow nobles to carry divines and experts to see if I am lying when I say the only time I ordered to use magic to see them is when we found her the first time."


"Cut the crap, Zusari." Lord Hermanel takes the word after hearing Elliana. "You know why the elves were ready to battle. Your religion is more like the one the orcs preach than the ones the rest of humanity has."
He abandons his position at the table and walks to the center of the hall, between the three tables. "Your religion not only condones, but also encourages slavery and the conquering of other races, like our allies, elves and dwarves! Even today, there are slaves in your lands, elves that have once been inhabitants of the lands ruled by The Chainbreaker and now are exploited for your benefit! If it were for your religion, we would be right now bathe in blood, battling against elves and unprepared for an invasion that took us all by surprise. Don't play the act of harmless maiden, for there is no fear running in your veins but tiranny and pride."

Lady Glenven now takes the word. "My king, this is only a feeble attempt of Lady Zusari to put the perils that her own vision driven by her zealousy in Zarus arise in our allies' actions. Elves and dwarves healed, helped, fought side by side with your servants. Suddenly they see members of a church that proclaim human superiority over all other races, human right to enslave, conquer and take whatever humans want or can take side by side with members of an army known for conquering and killing without remorse or second thought in their hunger for riches! As Lord Elazran said, birds of same flock fly together. Do they talk about honor? Is there any honor in threatening an unarmed man like the misioneer? Because that is what Brightmane did! Zusari is an hypocrit in shielding herself in a tolerance that she would not doubt in erasing should she have a greater measure of power! What safety we have, Lords and Ladies, that this alliance with the Bridgeburners won't go further in detriment of your majesty? For, as High Priest Fieryheart said, in different situations, we wouldn't have doubt in look to the other side. But the situation was and still is this: We are subjects of this realm, a peaceful realm that honor law and allies. And we respect our King's wish to uphold that peace."


And then, Lord Elazran's immediately speaks with a smirk in his face. "But Zarusians don't. Brightmane insulted all those who practice our faith, my King. They called us fools for hearing the advices of our allies. Allies that wouldn't have helped us if we waged war against them, as Zarus mandates. No, instead we heal, we help and we honor elf and dwarf. And that friendship makes us stronger than any invasion. Strong enough to stand here to hear this false accusations. Strong enough to heal Zarusians that don't know better out of compassion even when we knew that we would only receive attacks and lies these noblewomen in compensation! Strong enough to resist the taunting and disregard of any security measure in an army camp! And now I here demand Lady Brightmane and Zusari tell us what words the misioneer told that could taint her honor more than her acts! I can give faith that he never called her a whore. That, Ladies and Lords, is the sole invention of a woman that wishes so. Do you have a problem with me, Brightmane? Then spare a man that only told his truth and raise to my level, instead of imposing your cowarly misery to a commoner that can't defend himself against your power as a noble."


The King trembles... he shakes his head and then holds it in his hands. "Shut up! Shut up! You should no quarrel like that!" Lady Fieryheart looks at him and puts her hand on his. "What do I do? Tell me what do I do!" he asks her, still shaking. The woman nods and whisper something to his ear.

Ezourer nods silently and prays for his spells to the Bridgeburners of old, hoping that their everburning flame will help him to take care of his fellow soldiers.

Elliana stood again slowly as she prepared to defend herself before her king screeched out for them all to, as he so eloquently put it, shut up. She bit back the urge to defend herself further, settling for a scowl as she sat back down as the king seemed to take a moment to ask for advice from, of course, the pelorite beside him. She shouldn't have been surprised that they even had the king's ear, but hopefully her words would stick in the hearts of many of the unaligned nobles here.

Lady Maria notices the king is on distress on the conflict, however in entire debate she haven't shouted or slammed on tables or otherwise been noisy. She had remained calm, soft spoking and civil toned in discussion.

She replied as she could on various accusations, charging her voice with calming influence guided by divine power sound pleasant to listen and hear; "In town Bastion I detected no living soul in entire place as we arrived, it was ghost town. When we were attacked by undead we burned the town as means destroy undead as means of self-defense. If there were any living victims from the fire I was not aware of them, or do you blame us burning thousands of corpses with the fire there? What comes to healing and food, it was either spare my soldiers under my command or help those less fortunate from Bastion. Either case lives would had been lost and I choose take care of my soldiers as my aim was to end undead threat and to end that threat I needed soldiers."

Lady Maria then paused and added; "What comes to other accusations you lay claim to I am willing go under divinations to prove what I speak is the truth, but not diviners amongst nobles nor from pelorite church nor from mine. But from Saint Cuthbert, who's followers only care about the truth as it is. But either case we could have entire day spend speaking on rhetorics and details of each other's faith but the king seems not have desire listen us talk about our arguments, so let's bury all those subjects for another time and focus on celebration.

Only thing I wanted make clear there was no rescue operation in regards of me or lady Elliana, and if there were, then our supposed peaceful allies would be more than willing shed blood of people from your kingdom because they do not like choice of our faith to their liking. More so when I nor lady Elliana was not any shape nor form a threat to them.

However, only reason why elves or dwarves would even consider it is because of their hatred for my faith. But before hatred there is anger and before anger is...fear."

Lady Maria smirks and says; "I find it amusing that in depth of all that hatred lays fear of my faith, that they are afraid of me, lady Elliana and just handful of Zarusite faithful soldiers enough to break their peaceful alliance with your kingdom by shedding blood of kingdom soldiers which had not elected no hostilities neither race domains in entire existence of the faith in your kingdom."

Lady Maria then looks on Fieryheart and she says; "What does pelorite doghma went? Oh yes; Aid those in need and vanquish evil, especially undead. Pelorite fate encourages hatred and anger against evil, but what's evil? Whatever Pelorite decides to be evil really and it's clear that doghma alone directly conflicts with a agreement we made with past king for peace. As you cannot let go of your hatred for my faith which you view as 'evil' only because it conflicts in your first doghma, Zarusites does aid humans in need, not just every race like you do. But that alone makes you discriminate my faith whenever you can.

So you say birds fly in same flock, so does your flock fly in same flock with dwarves, elves and yourselves in hatred towards my faith which has done so far nothing deserve it, at least locally. Same hatred which helped you ally fighting against undead but same hatred I held over them as well."

Lady Maria raises goblet up and says; "So let's toast for better tomorrow and you can cease your shouting which no doubt is partly reason why king has headache by now. I may be many things but I am not deaf. If you want argue with rhetorics of my faith I gladly do so but outside king's halls. Unless king wishes hear about my faith through mouth of a practitioner, than those who despise it as sole principle of their chosen faith doghma."

OOC: Lady Maria uses Divine Insight to get +9 bonus to her diplomacy check.

17:44, Today: Lady Maria Brightmane rolled 12 using 1d20. Diplomacy (+20).

Nice, for once nice roll. 32 total roll for friendly finisher for rhetoric discussion and get hopefully dirt thrown to pelorites way. Overall above check was means not to try upset the king from doing return reply against pelorites but it's also towards pelorites.

Now, I can turn unfriendly person friendly with above roll or hostile person (which pelorites no doubt are as they berate lady Maria publicly) into indifferent (even if take -5 to diplomacy check as DC to do so is 25). If king was indifferent on the issue before the roll then he's helpful now.

The King looks defeated, shaking and holding his head in his hands.

"We have a necromancer here!" Lord Hermanel applauds. "Lady Brightmane, you have traveled with one of the walking and smithing dead. Or at least that is what the people of Bastion said. You spoke there after your battle and a lost soul heard about Zarus and decided to follow you. A dead man that answers to the name of Blackiron, no doubt serving you by your necromantic powers... Or your falsehood in front of our King. There was people, living people that watched you burn everything they hold dear, and you know it!" His applause now have become an accusation finger. "You choose to take care of your soldier. Of your little sect. You never cared about the rest of the humans in that town."

"And yes, Brightmane. Elves, dwarves, and we have fear." Lord Elazran smiles. "We know the evil that dwells inside Zarusians' hearts. We know of their hunger for power. And we could imagine what a Zarusian could think when hundreds of cruel soldiers that was even sent here by the Karot Empire suddenly find themselves without a clear objective after defeating the undeads they found in Pale. Elves, dwarves and us have fear, Brightmane. For our peace. For our King's rulership. We fear all the evil that you could bring to us with your quest for power."

"Fear? For me?" King Kurtac asks opening his eyes wide. "Why?!" The ruler of the country shakes in fear.

"Lady Brightmane has fought alongside and most likely lead the Bridgeburners against the undead, my King." Siarani Fieryheart answers, caressing his hand and putting her other hand on his shoulders. "Powerful war veterans of many conquests that came to your lands as your enemies. Your allies feared that the Zarusians' next target for them would be you."


"THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!" Lord Soldercot hits the table with his fists, and Lady Fanastida gets up after him. "My King, my stepdaughter would never raise her sword against you! We Zarusians pay respect to authority. All this accusations of treason are unfunded!"


"And yet, speaking of doghma, Zarusians only respect authority if it is backed by strenght." High Priest Fieryheart now takes the word. "Deep in their religion is the competition and accumulation of power. This blind and foul goal made everyone of us afraid for you, King Kurtac." And then, he smiles. "But now, the Bridgeburners are no more. I am sure not even they can withstand the combined forces of the children of Corellon Larethian and Moradin." He chuckles "Your deeds comdemn you, Lady Brightmane. You already said that you cared about your soldiers first and foremost. For you, the people of Bastion was already dead. You let humans alone, Brightmane. Without home, without protection. So much for someone who fills her mouth with words about how her religion cares about fellow humans."

When the King hears Maria's invitation, he doubts for a second and then shakes his head.
"No... this is all wrong. I want protection... for my kingdom. I need peace!"

"You are protected, my King." Siarani offers him her hand as she stands up. "Let's go to your chambers. You need to rest. Ruling a country with people like these is frustating and exhausting." The King gets up and walks to his chambers, trembling like a leaf. Everyone then gets up to bow their heads. Behind him, Siarani turns to the "heroes of the country". "My knights, my King needs someone to accept Lady Brightmane's invitation... and deal with the threats to the kingdom outside the castle."

Lord Elazran looks at Maria. Lord Hermanel looks at Elliana. And then they both smirk and answer at the same time. "With pleasure."

High Priest Fieryheart raises his hands "Stop this, the King doesn't condone this!". Lady Siarani then looks at him. "I speak for the king, uncle. Rhetorics will be met outside the castle. And then, as Lady Brightmane said, we can toast." She turns, smiling to Elliana and Maria and follows her King.

The two knights then comes to the center of the room, extending their hands to the door to the side. Almost a formal invitation. "Would you do us the honors, ladies?"

Lady Maria sighs and rolls her eyes on necromancy accusations and she replies; "I did not say I did not find humans after Bastion was burned, I just told I did not find any humans before the fires started. I had assumed town entirely was abandoned at first based on earlier scouting. Also if I would had got supplies, healing to spare to entire Bastion I would had done so, but I did not have it and you accuse me for not be bringer of miracles.

Also you mix up quest for power for seeking of perfection on one's self. It's every man and woman's, despite race, to seek better themselves in their skills and craft and never settle for what you achieve. Through passion you gain strength, through strength you gain power, through power you gain victory and victory shall grant you enlightenment.

By through that code you all, knights, nobles and other races, have gained power. So you blame Zarusites doing what you all have done your entire lives? Hypocrisy at best."

As talks for treason and fearing for king Lady maria laughs and says; "True we respect strength, but are you accusing your own king being a weak Fieryheart? I say he's strong for tolerating that sort insults for not loosing his temper and taking your head. Even if king would be weak, Zarusite would seek first make king strong for his crown and throne than strike him down.

But as I repeatedly told you my only alliance with Bridgeburners was only to defeat undead horde, nothing more."

Then Siarani interferes and leads king away and as discussion seems to drag on despite Lady Maria trying settle it down, then Siarani tells what to do and she nods to her. As knights move to the doors Lady Maria starts to walk to them and say; "Very least you got some manners left gentlemen."

Lady Maria is curious will they indeed go outside king's halls literally club each other non-lethal manner unconscious and continue the festives then? As it seems pelorites seem not give up from arguing with her about rhetorics of her or their faiths. Also it's clear no words get through either side so talking is very much pointless as dinner showed that pelorites do not back down nor does Zarusites.

Bridgeburners
-----------------
The morning goes uneventful. The first rays of the sun begin to illuminate the room, waking you up.
You see that Glasenter is also awakening. He sits on the bed and looks at you...

And then he pukes. On the ground, but you can't prevent it from splashing on you.

"Ezourer, I think I have fever."

You can hear outside similar screams of repugnance that comes from your mouth.

"Gross!" The shifter shouts. "You make me sick, Bookworm! Stay there!"

Ezourer really doesn't want to get close to Glasenter. He takes some steps back and casts a spell, hoping for insight from the Bridgeburners of old.


OOC:
Activate Shifting Dreamsight
Move: Move back away from Glasenter's vomit power.
Standard: Cast Detect Disease
22:56, Today: Ezourer rolled 25 using 1d20+7. Wisdom Check with Dreamsight.

Just checking, I hear outside similar screams of repugnance to the one that comes from my mouth, right?

Elliana calmly stood, she wasn't overly surprised with how this had gone due to the Pelorite effectively having control of the king. She had said what needed to be said and her words would lodge in the hearts of the nobles here, and perhaps a few new worshipers of Zarus would be born in the future.

"Of course. I am always ready to deal with anything that threatens my king and country"

Calmly Elliana picked up her helm as she murmured a word to herself, motes of light drawing in around her body. She placed it upon her scalp and as the faceplate was shut with a soft snap, the light crackled into place as her armor reformed itself. Midstep her gait went from foot wrappings to the metal of platemail as she walked proudly towards the door, her head held high. Though it was hard to see her eyes through her helmet, her body language spoke of absolute control.

Bridgeburners
-----------------

The spells let you realize that Glasenter is indeed sick. He has been contaminated. You can see the disease in his stomach, growing inside him.

"Ezourer! What is happening?" He calls out, sweating. He has fever. In that moment, the Captain opens the door.

"Sargeant! What is happening? Why half of my men are vomiting?" He is not pleased at all and looks at you as if saying "Fix it. Now."



Zarusians
------------------
"Your quest for tyrannical power ends here, Brightmane. We will defend our king's strenght against your efforts to weaken our kingdom to impose your idea of strength." Lord Elazran's words are said as you pass him by.

"You are the threat here, Zusari" Hermanel waits till you go ahead of him to follow you outside.


"If you don't stop this foolish thing, then at least I will impede this to be a complete disaster!" High priest Fieryheart hits the table with his fists and departs after his knights.

"Have faith in Pelor's chosen, uncle. That you taught to me." Siarani replies.

Lord Soldercot and Fanastida run to Brightmane. The woman hugs her daughter. "My girl... defend Zarus' honor and ours. May he help you to find the strength inside you."

Lord Soldercot nods to Elliana. "May Zarus bless you. Thanks for stepping side by side with my stepdaughter." He puts a hand on her shoulders. "Be victorious. You honor your family name with your courage." He walks to Siarani next. "I demand to see the King!"

As you walk outside you can hear both pelorites saying words. Magical words.

"I will not allow any of you to die. Each fight will be over the moment I feel any danger to the life of any of opponent! I may not prevent you to behave like kids, but at least I can prevent you to die."

OOC: You have 5 rounds of preparation. They have them too.
Roll initiatives!

E: Lord Elazran
H: Lord Hermanel
B: Lady Brightmane
Z: Lady Zusari
F: Fieryheart

Lady Maria would quirk her eyebrow on Lord Elazran words and reply; "Your delusional man lord Elazran. You see only what you wish to see and hear only things you want to hear. I heard sun may blind you if you stare it too long but I did not imagine it also apply to Pelorite faith."

Lady Maria goes out but she gets intercepted by her mother and she smiles and hugs her and says to her; "Thank you mother, I am sure Zarus is watching me but it will be up to me to succeed in his name."

Once outside when pelorites start chant magic....it reminds Lady Maria that she haven't studied any spellcraft and thus she must redeem that in future so she knows what magic these two are weaving.

She hears Fieryheart and she replies; "You know well as I Lord Elazran had this coming since he started taunt me Fieryheart. You either neglected in control with your subordinate or you purposefully allowed his behavior run rampart. Either case I hope the case gets settled one way or another today, I am fine with that no one dies today and instead learns from duels more than from words."

Compared to pelorites she does not chant spells at all. Instead drawing on her greatsword and taking a stance, she starts with clear and strong voice speak tenets of her faith with inspiring tempo; "Shall it be known Mankind shall know its place in the World and shall know how best to fulfill its destiny, Zarus has made known Commandments to be followed by all humanity alike.

Those of the races of Man who reject the Commandments, thereby reject their humanity and become as any non-human race - inferior and subject to the will of Man. It the command of Zarus that all who reject their humanity be shown no mercy, even below that of the non-human, who may earn grace by serving Mankind as their natural superiors in all things."

After that when pelorites are nearly finished in their prayers and ready for battle she takes horn from her belt and she blows it loudly, generating a loud horn blow which sends shrill of excitement to run through Elliana and herself as she continues her inspiring performance while doing honorable greeting with her greatsword towards Lord Elazran; "Thou Shalt Honor Thy Fellows. Man must respect man, even as he strives against him in competition to prove his superior humanity."

OOC: Perform:Oratory 29 (near nat 20). So pretty darn impressive inspiring speech for any Zarusite (as note this bonus applies also to Elliana). Anycase using hero's regalia to add +1 to my inspire courage bonus as I use Smite to Song feat. Total bonus becoming +3 to attack&dmg and +4 will saves vs fear.

Anycase she takes on Leading the Charge stance, so thus +9 to damage rolls for allies (Elliana in scene) on their charge attacks.

In 5th round Lady Maria uses Horn of Resilience (from regalia of hero set) to give herself and Elliana DR 5/- for 5 rounds. Lady Maria this translates to -6 DR as horn bonus stacks with her templar DR (and if she takes one stance, it increases by +3).

Anycase her maneuvers at start of the fight are; Revitalizing Strike, Mountain Hammer and Covering Strike. Her Initiative is 6 -_-. I think Lord Elazran goes first. If not, Lady Maria would no doubt charge on him while going for smite attack. If Elliana would use a save roll or non-true strike attack roll, Lady Maria would lend her +5 on either check as immediate action (part of hero's regalia bonus).

Elliana was quiet as she let Lady Maria speak, taking her place calmly as she centered herself. No words for Lady Maria or her family as she approached the fight to come outside. She was ready to live or die in Zarus's honor so the safety net didn't matter in the slightest to her as she began chanting when the go ahead was given. First around her spectral blades flowed into being, slashing and stabbing in a glowing circle around her. Next her breathing deepened as she drew up inner reserves of durability and asked Zarus for his blessing. Finally wisps of flame began to surround her, flickering and flashing around her armor as she finally drew her blade calmly. A final spell to hone her mind as prepared for the fight.

"Sir, yes sir!" Ezourer salutes the Captain and rushes outside, where he hears the moans of the other people. If Glasenter is not the only one, then there must be something in common. Maybe a sneaky undead made a plague, but if the disease is in his stomach and Glasenter hasn't ate anything yet...

He orders a healthy soldier to go with him to a near well, putting away the bucket and tie him with the rope so the soldier can lower him to the water.

OOC:
Full action: Search for something that could have infest the water with disease

01:35, Today: Ezourer rolled 12 using 1d20-1. Search check.

01:34, Today: Ezourer rolled 9 using 1d20-1. Search check.

01:33, Today: Ezourer rolled 7 using 1d20-1. Search check.

01:30, Today: Ezourer rolled 8 using 1d20+2. Hold Breath.

I thought that I had to make constitution checks to hold breath from the beggining. My bad. But with those search checks, I don't know what I could find.

Lord Elazran smirks as Lady Maria points him with her greatsword. "You speak big, Brightmane. But you face now not only the might of Pelor but also the judgement of his allies in Elysium. That is something you will never know. Places, destiny, commandments, competition, superiority? Empty words that hide how lonely you and Zarus stand among men. What good is the whole world if you don't have anyone else to share it and protect it? You will fall, just like Zarus did when his arrogance made him blind to the fact that there was no friend or ally left for him! Behold, Brightmane, for the souls of hundreds noble warriors guide my sword! Their friendship is my magic!"
His helm shine a bright blue, fathers appear on his cape and his arms are covered in blue bands.


Lord Hermanel on the other side is amused by Elliana's silence. "Well, you seem the silent type. I like that, Zusari." He chuckles. "You know, I hoped back in the academy that I could set you straight and guide you out of your religion. But I guess I didn't have enough time." His morningstar ready in his hand he looks at her. "Just imagine how far we could have go together, united under the banner of light, peace, freedom and good. Too bad your soul is imprisoned by Zarus' chains."


05:22, Today: Lesser Worldmaster rolled 2 using 1d20+1. Lord Hermanel's Initiative.

05:19, Today: Lesser Worldmaster rolled 13 using 1d20+3. Lord Elazran's Initiative.

Just a general description:
Lord Elazran wears a Breastplate, along with steel shield and a longsword. Part of his armor is bright blue and his eyes also shines blue. A small pouch hangs from his neck.

Lord Hermanel also wears a Breastplate but one made of mithral. In his hands there is a morningstar ready. A cloak resembling the rays of the sun cover his shoulders. He has a pouch in his belt.

Order:
1st Lady Zusari
2nd Lord Elazran
3rd Lady Brightmane
4the Lord Hermanel.

Elliana was quiet as she had stayed nearly Maria but as the fight was called she stepped forward. She had originally planned on charging Hermanel but his spells made her wary, and she was not a fool. A few quick murmurs as the spell began to build in her hand quicker then her foes could react to as she flashed her hand forward. This was a 2 on 2 as far as she knew and she pulled no punches as the cone of fire burned forward searing the ground and the two knights before her.

"Burn" Was the only words for her foes as the intense wave of fire hit them. Zarus guide her she was done with talking and platitudes.

"GAAAAHHHH!!!!" The two knights scream at the same time, feeling the fire burning their skin.

"Damn witch!" Lord Elazran, the one the spell has taken completely by surprise shouts. He can't believe that single spell nearly burned him alive.

"Beltan! Come behind me!" Albreich Hermanel calls his friend in desperation, seeing his state. He is also wounded, but not as bad as Beltan Elazran.

"It is over, Lord Elazran! Drop your weapon!" Fieryheart opens his eye wide, visibly concerned by the young knight's well being.

But instead, Beltran Elazran runs to Brightmane to hit her with his longsword.
"No! Zusari's dishonorable actions hasn't changed anything!" Driven by the courage and the grace of the heavens, Lord Elazran strikes and breaks Brightmane's defense. And she even can see the shades of angels aiding him.

Move: Move to E10
Standard: Attack Brightmane. 42 damage. 36 with Maria's DR. +6 Extra Damage

Lady Maria was quite bit surprised to see Elliana's stunt....but then again it made her realize they haven't agreed on any terms for their duels besides Firyheart's request that no one dies.

Then despite seriously injured Lord Elazran press on the attack, impressive as it was it however did not fell Lady Maria....she is rather resilient to harm and she actually gets more powerful as she's hurt actually! She feels the impact, surge of blood as Lord Elazran's blade cuts through her armor and feels flash of pain...making her heart beat faster and thusly she channels pain into her muscles to empower them and speed her reaction as she speaks; "Thou Shalt Rule; Man must rule over all creatures and may take his ease and service from those ruled."

Her blade starts to glow in golden light with quick incantation as she prepares for the attack, however she too hastily chanted and thus ruined her own spell but she continues further with her sermon chant none the less; "Thou Shalt Have No Others Gods Before Me; Man may worship as he pleases but must not forsake the fundamental laws of Zarus.

Then as she swiftly makes horizontal slash towards Lord Elazran while she gives final commandment to him as her blade cleaves into his body; "Thou Shalt Suffer Not the Fool; Man must strengthen his mind that none may gainsay his just judgments and rule!"

OOC: Swift action cast Devastating Smite (defensive casting; failed so no doubled smite dmg). Use Revitalizing strike with smite (+3 hit&dmg from inspire courage, +3 hit&dmg from furious counterstrike, +3 hit and +9 dmg from smite, -2 using PA to get +6 dmg and also use Awesome Blow either ignore miss chance if any or force a trip check if Lord Elazran survives the hit conscious if no miss chance present, primarily ignore miss chance if any would come up). 3d6+9 heal upon hit on Lady Maria.

15:19, Today: Lady Maria Brightmane rolled 4 using 1d20. Concentration (+2).
15:16, Today: Lady Maria Brightmane rolled 10 using 1d20. Revitalizing Strike (PA+Smite) (hits AC 31, Lord Elazran likely charged so take it account to check for hit).
15:23, Today: Lady Maria Brightmane rolled 31,18 using 2d6+22,3d6+9. Dmg+Cure (total dmg; 37pts slashing/magic/adamantine, forgot power attack bonus, healed 18pts dmg and 15pts from steely resolve come at start of next turn).
15:28, Today: Lady Maria Brightmane rolled 6 using 1d20. Trip check (+5) (if no miss chance).

Note; if possible Lady Maria would not 'overkill' with her strike. She uses still lethal damage but she would try hold back the blow so it does not hit past -5 further or so. Willing take -2 or -1 to hit to accomplish this feat.

As her attack is done, she finishes with non-sermon voice; "A Zarusian is never alone Lord Elazran, as Zarusian can always depend on their brothers and sisters in faith. Your defeat was because lack of understanding of foe you face, so thus you were only half-prepared."

ZARUSIANS
-----------------

Lord Elazran screams as the blade cuts his armor and flesh.

"Lord Elazran, you had your chance! Now it is time to let go!" Fieryheart begins to cast a spell when Lord Elazran interrupts him.

"NO! I am still alive! I must fight!" Lord Elazran still stands. But he has endured too many bloodloss.

And Lord Hermanel knows it. You can see that he wonders how the young man is still alive after receiving such attacks.

"Don't put him out of the fight without the result of my next spell! Please!" he begs and as shiny lance of force is shot from his forehead to Elliana, he begins to cast a spell.

From a point between Maria and Elliana black tentacles appear from the ground, trying to hold them. And then, he hurries in direction to Lord Elazran.

OOC:
Everyone make Grapple checks DC 17 28
Elliana, you take 15 damage

BRIDGEBURNERS

Ezourer doesn't find any undead in the dwells and fountains. What he finds are simple dead people contaminating the water. And they are in every source of water. Seems the undead decided to leave a little gift, in case the town was captured.
