[Taocow PBEM] Book 3 - Chapter VIII - New Camelot

>> [The King]
>> The King looks to Ted. "If you are able to join us, you are welcome
>> to, otherwise my guards will take you to your quarters to rest."
>>
>> The King then turns to the others. "The palace and the city will be
>> searched high and low for her." he says. "But if you would like to
>> help, you certainly have my permission. Perhaps we can meet tomorrow
>> morning. I owe you all that much. Sir Prrcyvel will help you look for
>> Lady Louissa."
>>
>> With that the King and his guards turn and leave the dungeon.
>> [/The King]

>> [Sir Prrcyvel]
>> "Well Osmar, old chap, it looks like no banquet tonight!" he laughs,
>> as he leads the company out of the dungeon. "Where would you like to
>> start? In the room she and your brain-controlled friend were sitting
>> in up until the attack?"
>> [/Sir Prrcyvel]

> [Vesper]
> "I will go with you,  I know there is a spell that can locate someone.
> Sadly I don't posses it but perhaps someone in this enchanted
> kingdom does."
> [/Vesper]

> [Alex]
> "Thanks, first rule of soldiers is to always work in pairs," she states.
> "Granted, as a ranger, one often has to operate independently."
> [/Alex]

> [Oz]
> "Tag along where? Shouldn't we start in the room where Louissa was
> last seen?" Oz looks confused, but more engaged than he had been since
> they reached safety. Relative safety, anyway, with giant floating
> brains everywhere.
> [/Oz]

> [Vesper]
> "I'm willing to start wherever any of you are. You knew her better than
> I and maybe she left some clues for us to find behind."
> [/Vesper]

As the company and Sir Prrcyvel make their way up to the main level,
an alarm suddenly blares in the distance.
[/GM]

[Sir Prrcyvel]
"That's an armory alarm!" Sir Prrcyvel shouts. "Someone is trying to
break into one of the armories."

He doesn't even wait for the company [OOC: I assume you all follow
him] but breaks out into a run.
[/Sir Prrcyvel]

[GM]
Moments later the alarm quite suddenly stops. A voice is heard over a
loud speaker. "False alarm! Repeat... false alarm."
[/GM]

[Sir Prrcyvel]
"This place is falling to pieces, I tell you!" the knight laughs. He
then shows them to a door. "This is where Lady Louissa was waiting,
and where Ted should have been sent after his interview."
[/Sir Prrcyvel]

[GM]
The door reveals a room with a luxurious looking sofa, chairs, a table
with fruit, some of it half-eaten, on it. There is a curtain at the
back of the room. The sofa looks a little ruffled, as if someone had
just been laying on it not long before.

Out in the hallway, Oz and Vesper notice something odd, a door about
30 feet down the hall that looks like it has a dent in it, and a trail
of something; paint, liquid, something, leading to a door on the other
side of the hallway.
[/GM]

[Sir Prrcyvel]
"When you're done here, perhaps we can check the CCTV system." Sir
Prrcyvel offers.
[/Sir Prrcyvel]
