Dark Dagger

That's alright! I thought about reminding you sooner, when I read through everyone else's posts yesterday, but I figured I'd give you a bit before doing so.

There is just one person left. @Shadow Dragon Do you want to post this go around or wait for the next. I can give you another day before I start on the next post.

Sorry it took me so long to get the next post up and for the lack of quality. Things have just been a bit busy here, and I've only now gotten a chance to really sit down and write it.

"Very well." The King looked around at those gathered and swept his arm out toward the far doors. Two guards stepped forward and bowed deeply. "If you will follow them to the next chamber." His eyes landed on the dragonkin. "Only once you have been . . . properly informed can you begin your search."

The guards opened the doors and strode down the hall to another room. This one was smaller, lit only by a few sconces, and littered with books and scrolls. The five volunteers could barely fit without standing shoulder to shoulder, pressed so tightly together that it bordered on maddening.

"The Lady will be shortly," said the first guard. "She'll tell you everything you need to know." They looked to one another and slipped out of the room.

"Don't try anything," said the other. "We'll be right outside these doors."

The doors shut with a soft thud.

I'll get to work on the next post. Look for it tomorrow, as I'll try to get it posted fairly early.

While there is no strict posting order, I think it would be best if there were TWO other posts before your own. Please and thank you.

Just an afterthought: What do you guys think of a posting order? It might not have to be strict as I know sometimes life gets in the way and you can't always post as soon as possible. But maybe just a rule like 'no double posting' or waiting for at least two other people to post before posting yourself? I just want to give everyone ample opportunity to post something before I move on. Of course, I'll try to check in and see if you need more time if so long has passed.

The cobblestone and dirt streets of Ironkeep were nothing more than mud and river as the rain continued to pour. Three days it had been this way, and people were beginning to grow restless. Nothing unusual for the capital of Ovyadell. What was unusual were the soaked announcements that hung from every open surface, promising gold, power, or influence to any able, willing-bodied people who could find the King's dagger.

And so, people came. They flocked to Eastormel Castle and filed into the grand throne room, eager to earn some reward. Men and women, adventurers and common folk alike, waited with bated breath as the doors opened and the royal family took their places on the dais. The King first, then the Queen and Princess on either side of him.

The King held up his hands. A hush fell over the room. "I would like to thank you all for coming today." His eyes roamed over the gathered crowd. "Something very precious to my family, to the kingdom has been taken. My own men have failed to catch the culprit, or to return what was lost. So I now turn to you, my people."

"I will not lie to you. It may be dangerous. But such a worthwhile reward could not be earned without a little danger." A few of those gathered grew nervous. "You will have to travel to the Underground. I believe it is there you will find the dagger." Some looked to the doors, as if they only just realized how frightening the quest would truly be. "If you leave now, I will not hold it against you. This job is not for the faint of heart." Most began to file out, leaving the quest and the reward behind.

The King looked over the few who remained. "Those who still wish to accept the job, step forward and say your name."
