((Oh yah, forgot about that. *pats your head* I am thinking of what words of encouragement would be the absolute best ones to say, give me a day or two for that.))

[Worldmaster27]

We're ready to go when you are.
Excellent!
Men, have the corpse moved to my personal study. I will want to inspect it further. And send someone ahead to notify the King of our need for an audience.
The guards move the dead construct's body away as you leave. It takes about two hours to reach the center of the city - Castle Etorya. It is a huge spectacle, towering over the surround walls. The grey stone stands out against a bright blue sky. More guards greet you as you prepare to enter the castle, checking over papers and trying to making sure that none of you are assassins. Right before you enter the throne room, where the audience is going to be held, your weapons are confiscated. Except for Vin's hidden daggers, of course. The servants instruct you to be polite and respectful to King Duso. They then open the doors, revealing a lush and obviously expensive interior. The ground is covered in velvet, and the many banners and tapestries are made of the finest cloth. The throne itself is made from gold and silver, with numerous diamonds studding the arms. If only the man sitting upon it looked as well. The good King Duso lounges upon it, looking incredibly bored despite the dire news. His beard appears as though he has not shaved in years, reaching all the way to his belt. The servants lead you before the throne. What do you do?

[Lyeos]

Greet him in a casual way. He must be bored because everyone is too formal!

[~Neri]

Hai!

[Worldmaster27]

Hey, what-
SILENCE! You will speak only when spoken to!
He points at the magistrate.
YOU! What are you four here for!?
He bows.
My liege, the most noble King Duso, we are here to report a most grievous disturbance within your fine city.
Do not upset me! What do you report!
My liege, we, uh, we wish to report that, well, there was a slight breach, and, uh, a hostile construct entered the city last night. It attacked these travelers. They managed to kill it.
Remind me what a construct is! And why are you bothering me with this!
A guard leans over and whispers in the king's ear.
WHAT!? You dare spout these lies before my presence!? There has never been such a thing with my city! Never!
But! My liege! It-
SILENCE! You will be quiet! None of these devils have ever entered my city! And they never will!
Vin is starting to look annoyed, and you're feeling the same way. Mel seems fairly disgusted at his attitude.
((Only Vin has weapons currently. And he's getting annoyed.))

[Lyeos]

Remain silent and keep listening.

((Well, that was a bad idea. I dislike this king, so very very much. Any king that you can't talk to like a normal person doesn't deserve the title! Galuf Halm Baldesion for president! Four more years!  ))

[~Neri]

This King is gonna get himself dethroned if he keeps acting like this.

[Worldmaster27]

((Kevak, you misspelled 'decapitated'.))
You decide it would be prudent to remain silent.
Forgive me my lord!
Why should I forgive you!? You're wasting my time! None of those necromancer's creatures will get within my city! It is impossible! We are the most well defended location on the map!
Vin can't contain it any longer.
Hah! And how are you to know? You never leave your feasting table, never mind the castle! You wouldn't know it if an army was bashing down the gates!
Impudent whelp! How dare you speak to me like that! You and your friends will learn just how secure this castle is - in the dungeons!
The guards quickly move in and restrain all four of you, leading you down a series of steep staircases to the dungeons. You are each put in a separate cells. It's unknown how long you'll have to stay down here. You all still have your equipment, just not your weapons. The magistrate appears to be crying in the rear of his cell.
((That went well, all things considered. I'll let you have a 'talk' with the king soon enough, don't worry.))

[Lyeos]

Talk to the magistrate! Ask him how long things have been like this!

((Wondering if we can Push the keys away from any guard that might happen to pass by...))

[EagleX]

Have Vin pick the lock with his hidden daggers and set the others free

[~Neri]

Vin, have pickpocketed the guard.

[Lyeos]

Vin, have pickpocketed the guard.

Yes, let's have Vin do this in the past. We also don't control him out of combat, I think, so this will be interesting.

((On a siiiiide note, I'm wondering whether the King is just pretending to be a stubborn old fool or if he really is an idiot.))

[~Neri]

((King is clearly a fool. Regicide anyone?))

[Lyeos]

((King is clearly a fool. Regicide anyone?))

((Eventually, but not yet.))

Guys, Mel is chaotic good. She stole from people back in school
