"Lady Eivor is with the main army with Harold Motius. I have her Trump to contact her once we are ready. Are you going to introduce your friends, or perhaps they might like to introduce themselves." Kat replies looking over the other two men. She is sure that she's seen one of them before, but where she can't recall. It must have been at the the Regent's party and she was concerntrating on other things.

" of course." I point as I speak " Ryland, and Edward. I'd like to introduce you to Kat. Another of the senior members of the family firm....a Princess Sand...brought us togther."

[OOC - I will wait and let Ryland and Edward introduce and describe themselves. Kat looks pretty much like her picture. She wears a shimmering cloak with a crystal boach with a crown atop it. She has a short sword in her belt. She looks a little beaten up at present with a cut, but all her wounds seem to be healing nicely.]
Kat raises an eyebrow at the mention of Aunt Sand's name.

Brian will take the Trump for Eivor to allow Kat to debrief Ryland and Edward more fully.

As with the standard formality of being a Noble, Edward bows slightly to the Princess. He is dressed in off-white pants, a silver waist coat and a deep blue jackets. This fashion is set similar to the Victorian times of shadow earth. He walks with a cane, but this is an accessory. (Clearly.)
"Good Day Princess. Edward, at your....Pardon me. Edward Fitzhugh. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance." he says as he offers his hand.
"I am one of the newest to Amber and a bit naïve to the customs and courtesies of this particular court."
"Seeing that you are friends, or at the very least on good relations with King Brian, I will do what I can to assist you today."
(ooc: does this realm have any technology present? Since this looks like a possible battle, Edward will use a little bit of sorcery and determine if Magic is available, and its potency.)

Post by Ryland on Nov 2, 2022 4:31:33 GMT
“Princess Katerina Alswyck of Eshanta, it is my pleasure to meet you again. Alas, I didn’t make more of an impression the last time.” He introduces himself.
“You have brought us to a battle. And, against chaosians. How considerate of you. Did you know that we were getting bored?” Ryland bows.
“I’ll be happy to take a flank. Is there anyone we want alive?”
Ryland hand starts tapping at his side as he looks from the princess to the field of battle. His eyes are fluttering in his head, and the tapping becomes more rhythmic with short taps and then long ones. It is clear he is counting troops and looking at deployments.
His attire appears to span several empires and centuries:
He is wearing:
Calf High Snakeskin Leather Boots of Decadent Midnight Blue with white edges on the scales
Long White Silk Socks with tiny Aqua Teal Celtic Knot Waves and Periwinkle Blue winds of Celtic Spirals embroidery
Gi Style Silk Pants – Decadent Midnight Blue with White Trim and the small Red Orange Fox symbol embroidery going down the fronts of the legs.
Gi Style Silk Shirt – White with a tiny pattern: small Red Orange Fox Symbols chasing White Entropy – Delta S symbols tossed about by Aqua Teal Waves and Periwinkle Blue Winds. The pattern is so small that one must study it up close to see it. Otherwise, the shirt looks multicolored.
Wide Full-grain Tooled Leather Weapons Belt of Periwinkle Blue
Weapons - two Red Orange Escrima Sticks with white caps etched with the Red Orange Fox Symbol on the top of the end caps. Additionally he has a cutlass and dagger.
Hooded Heavy Leather Cloak – Decadent Midnight Blue Leather embossed with Celtic knots and a Red Orange Lining with Aqua Teal Trim edges

Brian takes a moment to Familiarize himself with the land he is going to lead his men into battle in. Waiting for the Trump card from Kat to get ahold of Eivor

Kat hands Brian Lady Eivor's card. "I'd like that back afterwards please Brian."
She takes Edward's hand and gives it a little shake, wondering why he was being quite so formal in the wilderness. "This Court here won't exist much longer unless we do something about it and I thank you Edward Fitzhugh for agreeing to come and help."
Kat turns to Ryland, who still hasn't given her his name. "I am sorry too, perhaps we can catch up on lost time as we prepare for the battle. It's probably best if we don't kill Jurt and Julia Sawall. I'm not sure what their game is here, but its not completely in alignment with the main army. If we capture the Demon Lord then it may be prudent to question him about what Chaos' intentions for my home land are. It will be good information to take back to the Regent. Oh and finally, please don't kill the other version of me. We are the same and linked, so if you kill her, the same will happen to me. All the rest of them, feel free to relieve your boredom with Sir."
[OOC - Note Ryland the battle is not actually here, so he won't see troops of either side yet until they go through to Lady Eivor]

Before taking the Trump and using it he turns to Ryland and Kat. " if this is like the last gambit....we have two rival chains factions, Amberites, and some one looking to steal something of power. It might be the Mirror Maze....and it might be another matter. "
With that being said I reach out to Eivor

Edward looks over to the battle field, then to the others and makes his own assumptions on how the battle is going to go.
"I take it we have reinforcements somewhere in hiding? If not, I don't think this is going to end well."
and he turns to King Brian and Ryland. "Unless of course one of you three have been under the tutelage of Prince Benedict for a some time. In which case I am all ears."
he pauses a moment before announcing. "My sword play is appalling by some standards, and my magical use is going to be time consuming at the very least. So, any idea's?"
Edward does glance to the three members of royalty as he waits for someone to come up with a fantastic plan.

"Well," I turn to Edward "I had to start as a single person and eventually liberate my home.....I will say Liberating your home from an Alien ideology is a bit easier to do than more nuanced political problems. We have a few advantages to our side."
I turn to Kat "Tell me everything useful you can about your home. Our best bet is to take the city. I've been led to believe King Merlin's people want it. And given previous incidents in this current set of troubles, I have a solid reason to believe there was something in the city they wanted....POSSIBLY IS STILL THERE. But taking the city gives us leverage. More importantly, how do we win your people back to our side? I also have a reason to suspect the Villian who seized your home may not be there. Which will make taking the city less difficult. His being there would be helpful.....which is why my gut tells me he likely won't be there."
I take a drink from the flask.
"The trick is how we do this without starting a new war with Chaos. Even better if we get Chaos to tell us about their different factions and how they are involved in the current troubles."
I turn back to Kat "And just.....what is an acceptable Victory condition for you here?"

"There are a number of towns and vilkages here but I suspect now that their army is concerntrating on the capital. Their aim is to wipe out all the humans here, so our goal must be to stop them from doing that. I'd say that relieving the siege there is our primary aim at presnt and our goal is to save my people from slaughter."
"If there is something in the city that they want, then I don't know of it. The King is the only person who would have anything unusual that they may want as he was given things for me by my father, though I have since learned it was not my father who left me here in his care." Kat shows him her sword. "If there was something else then he may have it, but I would have thought he'd have given it to me. Now however he may not with my mirror twin betraying them."
"I think you and Lady Eivor could win the people back to your side. Just don't mention my name when telling them why you are here."

" So we need to take the city first. Any secret points of access? Underground tunnels? That sort of thing?"
I give Kat a look of mild disappointment for a moment but say nothing

"There's a secret way in to the Castle, but there's no secret way into the outer walls of the city. If there was, you could bet your bottom dollar that my mirror self would have told the opposition exactly that and let them in by now." Kat replies.
