It had been a week since the incident with the princess, the Nem sisters, the necromancers and the Damon Cal. Little was gleamed from the prisoner about the conspiracy and the trail ended there.

But the Iron Roses would not have a chance to rest, many of their number were deployed as extra security to the castle and the royal family. The rest, meanwhile, would be called to action not long after. A messenger from Fort Daelantine arrived, dying as soon as he came, clutching in his hand a hastily-scrawled note calling for the Iron Rose Knights to come to the fort's aid. [u]Fanilly[/u] selected a group of the remaining knights and quickly ventured out to Fort Daelantine.

Jarde was among them. In all honesty, he felt this was some sort of trap for the Iron Roses. One fell swoop to wipe out a number of their order in order to weaken them enough for a more decisive strike. As to who or why? Well, Jarde had not thought it that far. There was too few information to go on, after all. The only way to resolve that was to investigate Fort Daelantine itself, and maybe spring the trap should there be one.

[quote=Maritza Verenna][color=c4df9b]"We're not close enough to tell what happened. If there has been a hostile takeover, storming the gates is going to be pain, even with the help of Lady Radistirin or a mage... Captain, permission to scout ahead? If I take to the tall grass, I ought to be able to slip close undetected."[/color][/quote]

"[color=yellow]Allow me to accompany Lady Verenna, Captain.[/color]" Jarde trotted his horse over. "[color=yellow]As you know, scouting is my thing and dare I say, I have a much more... conspicuous form than Madam Maritza here. Err, no offense.[/color]"
