The Search for Lord British
The chill in the air raised the hair on my neck beneath my helm. My steeds breath and my own visible to the eye. Spring was returning to Sosaria but evil still hung in the air. My mind flashed back to a few days before. "Lord British has been missing to long" I said to my fellow War Council members frustration in my voice. "We must mount a search for him immediately." my fellow members all agreed and we set the date.
Now before me stood some of the bravest and noble in our land, ready to give all to find their King. Members of the Royal Society of Paladins, Yew Militia, Knights of the Alliance, Order of the Silver Serpent, Trinsic Loyal Guard, The Knights of Zodiac, The Moonglow Defense Force and many many others some 50 plus in total. Knowing the group to large to track Lord British as one the group split into two main bodies. One group lead by Lady Sagan of the TLG and HC gating to the dungeon Shame's 4th level while the other and myself went on foot or rode horse back to check the woods along the route our King may have taken. Once there and the groups divided again still to large to travel the dungeon in safety. From there the search began, one group working its way from the bottom while the other two worked their way from the top.
One group with the Lady Vixen of the OSS even had this to report: "We searched thru every nook in that dungeon, but Lord British was no were to be found. One of the party's did find an old hideout where some thieves must have stayed but no signs of our King. A few of us traveled by boat, and under different circumstances we would have caught up on some fishing had our quest not been so important." Along the way the group that I belong to was ambushed by two brigands. They proceeded to imped our movements by casting spells and using magic. Though we showed these two honor by not attacking them if they themselves were peaceful that was sadly not the case in the end. They attacked and one of our number fell. Shortly there after we caught one of the brigands and he tasted the steel of our blades and fell in return. The other to dishonorable to help his comrade fled in stealth. After that our search began again.
To the very depths of Shame we traveled searching high and low but to no avail. If Lord British had been brought here, he was no longer. But hope is not lost for we believe that there must be some clue no matter how small that must have been overlooked in the giant caverns of Shame and we will return again soon to pry it from that place of evil and restore our King to his throne and his lands. Continue hope citizens of Britania for not all is lost, Trinsic once again is ours and the forces of Minax are stopped at every turn. Evil may have a hold on this land but its grip is slipping more and more everyday.
