Sir Gregory
They came through the door of the secret entrance which led into the gardens of the castle. Gregory stopped everyone and looked back behind him where they had just ascended from...wondering if he wanted to send one of his men down that hole to investigate.
He eyed the man that claimed to be a paladin of Helm. Why had this man tried to recover the prisoner, if he were a paladin? Was there really more to this story? Sir Gregory thought about it, wondering as well what it was that was climbing the stairs. The tiger that had been warned about? One of the two guards that were left behind? Whoever had been killing guards on the upper level? Gregory had no answers, but he was usually a good judge of character. His feelings told him to trust this man, at least for now.
"Okay this is what we will do. Jesmar, give this stranger your sword. Then you and Parlon go over to those bushes and wait for my signal. If there is something following us, we'll depend on you two to bring it down. Kenden...you stay with our paladin and his new charge, Mr. Silverfall. Get to the Inquisitor. You know the way. I will stand here in the open and lure this person or whatever through the door. If he or she gets past the crossbowmen, they won't get passed me."
He turns to the Paladin.
"Listen stranger. I am holding you to your word by the God whom you profess to serve. Don't fail my trust in you. If for some reason it comes down to needing it, I have extra armor that should fit you in my room. That is on the upstairs floor of this wing. Now go!"
OOC>>>Two crossbowman and the Sergent Elite Guard await whoever is coming up the stairs, feeling that it is not an invited person. The sergent knows that his men should not be tailing behind them. He suspects trouble, therefore, and has set this ambush.
Morgie, Larry, and Kenden are to continue through the gardens and make their way back into the castle to get to Marcos.
