Knights had to show some dignity and decorum after all. Keeping his pace even, he reached his destination with only a few curious glances at his excited countenance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piersb Posted September 28, 2021 Author Share Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) A Shell They carried his body into the chamber & lay him across a table. Lady Nim steeled herself for the sight of her beloved, cut down in his prime. As the men shuffled out, she closed the door firmly behind them and the noise of her hall. Her steward would make sure they had refreshments as they remembered their friend. Edited September 28, 2021 by piersb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piersb Posted September 28, 2021 Author Share Posted September 28, 2021 TIME TEAM: THE BATTLE OF MERCREDESBURNE PART FOUR EXT. PENHURST AERIAL SHOT TONY (V.O) We’re in East Sussex, near the villages of Ashburnham and Penhurst, looking for the site of a Dark Ages battle. Ancient sources say the native British fought with the invading Saxons at a place called Mercredesburne, or Mearcred’s Creek. Could this be where it happened? Geophys has been inconclusive, there’s been nothing definite so far from either of our two trenches, and time is running out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piersb Posted October 7, 2021 Author Share Posted October 7, 2021 A Change of Shield Lady Nim swept through into the hall, her sudden stop leaving her skirt swirling. It had become a ritual whenever she was home, to stop in front of the mounted shields and to take a moment to think of what had been, had been hoped and what had occurred. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piersb Posted November 2, 2021 Author Share Posted November 2, 2021 Reprieve and Recovery Lady Nim’s eyes slowly opened as she groggily became aware of her being once more. Everything was fuzzy. She thought she remembered saying goodbye to her friends. As her senses lost their dullness, she could feel the crescendo of pain where the axe had caught her. She’d felt her life ebbing away and had only regretted not being able to serve for longer. So – had that been it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are definitely setting a high bar! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piersb Posted November 23, 2021 Author Share Posted November 23, 2021 No Oxbridge to my knowledge, though I'm reasonably sure two of them studied medieval literature as a part of their undergrad courses. I think the key here is bribery a reward system. Any wiki entry (or other creative endeavour) gets either a free experience check or a free experience reroll (player's choice) in the Winter Phase.
