Royal Britannian Guards (Bloodguard Div)
A small group of the Bloodguard meet at Command Jurrels office in Minoc to see if the now resident Erisk had any more comments to make. But sadly we could get no more from him so we decided it was time for us once again to travel the streets of both Papua and Vesper to evacuate anyone that had stayed but now wished to leave. We posted a note to say our intentions and set off first to the Guards Rest to see if anyone was there. Finding Lady Clara Mhor she eagerly joined us and a gate was opened to Papua. Arriving at Papua bank the Bloodguard found only the bank Clarks there who were still unwilling to leave. Sadly as we fought our way from building to building it was the same. Turning the corner of one road we came upon Ishida deep in battle, so without hesitation we assisted and was grateful when Ishida agreed to join our force. Yet more intense fighting followed as we continued in our mission. It was when we rounded the corner after checking every building that we came across a pile of Ophidian corpses and the smiling face of Foxmouldy. Now with him agreeing to join our force and Papua thoroughly searched a gate was opened to Vesper bank.
Once at the bank FoxMouldy agreed to wear the Bloodguard sash whilst Ishida put on a Bloodguard robe that was issued during the Despise invasion and a new Bloodguard cloak. Now ready in Bloodguard uniforms we turned to face whatever lied ahead in Vesper. But as we turned we came across a woman by the name of Anna- Maria staring down the road from the bank. She turned and greeted us with a smile. We explained that we were on a mercy mission to help free any who were still trapped within Vesper and her face brightened even more. It turned out that she was in need of an escort back to the Swaggers Inn where she was the proprietor, so we immediately offered assistance and lead her down the road through a small force of Ophidians and Wyverns to the Swaggers Inn. It was then that an offer of refreshments was made and we followed her down to a beach side bar which had temporarily been set up during refurbishment of the Inn. Anna-Maria hurried off to arrange for more tables and chairs for us and then we received a welcome from Hans Davison if you can call it that. He made it clear that Loyalists were not welcome and we were to leave immediately. But at that moment Anna-Maria returned and stepped in before any trouble could start, stating that we were her guests and he was not to interfere. But this was still not good enough for Hans scowling at us he demanded we removed our Loyalist shields from his presence. Well we could not see a problem with this as we were hardly going to drink with a shield in our hand and disarmed ourselves. With that he stomped off, and with our tables set we sat down to enjoy not only a refreshing drink but also a well sung song from Shai’tan a bard employed at te Swaggers. Not wanting to over stay our welcome we soon left and returned to the Commanders office to see if anything new had been reported there.
It was a welcome site when Commander Jurrel entered and spoke to us. We made our report regarding our talks with Erisk and our continuing search for a Palace of Knowledge he had slipped up and mentioned. We also reported on the nights mission into Papua and Vesper with how we had hopefully improved the diplomatic situation with at least one Vesparian with our assistance. Still showing the same confidence as before he was pleased with our night work and stated how he had already decided on what needs to be done to keep Britannia safe. We also took a moment to comment on his new Paladin Armour which he explained he had taken time to collect each piece of the Ornaments of Virtue. With our nights work now complete and our report made we sort the rest we had earned that night, but who can truly rest in such troublesome times.
