((Okay then, Annie, you're accepted.

Azi, Eve is also accepted.

Rainbow... Accepted. While a little more description on his appearance wouldn't go amiss (such as how tall he is) I don't see any particular problems. Even if I'm seeing that 'monstrously buff' part as being a poke at me from community thread discussion. That said, I would appreciate a couple of details - the name of the order of knights, their symbol and whether they are/were an independant order or if they served a ruler.))

The weather had always been a fickle mistress upon Kaonus. Fluctuating between calm skies and violent storms since the earliest days of mankind, even after the taming of the Storm Warden the storms only became more manageable - which was not the same as being light. The torrential downpour that covered the eastern plains was enough evidence of that. It was bone-chilling as it soaked through thick clothing and drenched those caught in it for more than a couple of minutes, the cold of night only enhancing its discomforting effects. It was not a good night to be on the road.

Thus, it was fortunate that the Broken Lantern inn still had room. Poised on the edge of the village of Ellwood, its single lantern held aloft above the door like a flickering firefly in the darkness, it was like a beacon to those who trodded the road at this late hour - few and far between as they may have been. The village itself was tucked in for the night, howling winds and pattering rainfall the norm in these lands - the people had long since learned to sleep through most of it.

Within the creaking structure of the inn a fair number of occupants sat nursing drinks and shivering by the fireside. Few travelers, mostly just villagers with a penchant for drinking late into the night - but for tonight there was little merriment, just solemn drunks mourning their lot in life and shivering merchants with little left to sell. Ellwood was the last village before the long stretch of road to the larger town out West - Teliodor, a critical stop between the scattered east plain villages and the distant capital of Central Kaonus, Bastion. With the hills and woods surrounding north and south the road was one of the only ways through to the West, less you wished to risk finding something hungry and toothy out there.

In one corner sat a young man with a blue cloak, sodden by the rain, working through a bowl of warm stew. Despite the storm, it seemed a calm night within the Lantern for now.

Annie been traveling for many days away from her village. She felt scared and missed home but knows she has to get away. She been lucky that with the weather and haven't been monsters around that made her feel calm but still on guard. She been able to camp at night and didn't have to worry about the weather.

As she was walked many miles to escape the monsters who attacked her village, She saw an inn and it read on the sign that was called Broken Lantern inn. She thought it was safe enough and decided to inside. She was surprise to see that there was not many travelers in here. She sat at one of the empty tables near the fire so she can stay warm. She wave to the waitress and ordered a hot meal and some tea.

Cold, wet. Exactly as Eve remembered. Next to Ellwood--a village in eastern Kaonus--the Broken Lantern Inn, open to shelter any from the downpour.

Tristan and Iseult, Eve’s falcons, were away, probably perched somewhere until the rain ended. They would find her again sooner or later.

Before the rain, Eve had unstrung her bow and kept the bowstring in a pocket to keep warm. Bow unflexed, she used it as a crude walking stick. Although a savage, she knew the basics of civilization, one of them the purpose of an inn. She entered and quietly took a seat somewhere inconspicuous. Observation occurred next...

Jericho slumped at his table, offering a simple glance towards the travelers as they arrived. A brief acknowledgement before the soldier turned his attention back to more important matters. Raising “more important matters” to his lips and taking a long sip, he settled back into place wondering how he managed to get this far.

This building, the Broken Lantern Inn, had been the start of many of Jericho’s favorite stories. But Jericho was no hero. The heroes were all dead, and the only one that mattered had tried to murder him. The jaded man coughed violently before gulping down more of his drink. A brief smile crossed his face as he celebrated a small victory in that he still drew breath. His eyes scanned the room before finally closing as Jericho settled into his chair with his hand lazily resting on his longsword.

Simply business as usual.
Cower, worship, or beg. All are valid choices.

Barda:


Barda sat at a corner table, far away from any sort of light He witnessed two more patrons come in: A young lass who had unstrung her bow, and a terrified, wary and utterly exhausted girl who had presumably come from a ways away for food water and respite, same as he. Being far from any sort of light was the way he preferred it. Barda, an ex member of the now- fanatical Order of the White Rose, stood at 6 foot 3 inches, and 211 pounds, he was pure muscle, he was wearing his white steel plate armor.


He had with him, one of the many boy toys he picked up, a lad of around 20 with ginger hair, high cheekbones, and a revealing costume that had the former noble constantly checking him out. Come morning, the young lad would be gone, and Barda, on the run for murder, would be on the road again to the western kingdom to meet a poison merchant. His stocks of the stuff were low from yet another run-in with thugs hired by the Order of the White Rose, who have been hunting him for years.


He placed his arm around the boy. He didn’t want to leave him like he left all the other men he’s met. The life of a murderer meant the life of a loner; he hated it. It also meant re-living the murder over and over. Part of guilt meant examining and re-examining every detail, every possibility, every step prior to committing the act. He wanted to talk about his past, but with whom?


Murdering the leader of the Knights of the White Rose was no mere murder, it destabilized the region for months allowing monsters to ravage the in the eastern lands, which the knights’ duty was to proctect. Lord Maximus Audax was a gifted tactition, his successor is a bumbling idiot with no real talent other than he was Lord Maximus’ son. The man, Lord Avarus Audax is a greedy, and stupid leader who has turned the order into little more than the bandits whom they were supposed to defend the people from.

Barda both hated him, and admired his attitude toward life.


“You okay, Rexus?” the young man asked Barda. Barda introduced himself as Rexus to the boy earlier on in the night, better for him not to know him and be tied to their hunt for him.


“Nothing to be worried about, love, just thinking back on something that occurred three years prior, A humorous event, I assure you.” The boy raised his brow. “Humorous? How so?” the boy asked. “How about pranking the Grandmaster of the Knights of the White Rose with whoopie cushions filled with air, one sit and all that air comes out… audibly.”


Barda had become so adept at lying, that he was able to come up with a good story on the fly. Barda did not prank anybody. He was a humorless man. He was once again looking back at the murder in hind-sight.


“Audi-what, papi?” The young man referred to Barda as ‘papi’, which would be amusing if Barda had any humorous bone in his body. Barda was not a father, nor did he want to be. “Means that you can hear it… Loud and clear.” The young man laughed and jokingly hit Barda’s leg playfully. It resulted in a nearly silent clink on his armor.


“Papi, I want you in bed with me. I still want to see you out of that armor for once, you even sleep with it on and your claymore and longsword within reach, like a fugitive on the run.” Barda kept his composure.


“Do I look on the run, boy? If I were, I’d be caked in mud and twigs and looking over my shoulder all the time.” The boy giggled. “I’m just teasing you. Come, I want you to lay with me,” he said. Barda, starstruck by the young lad followed him up to his room.
