The Court Room Pt. 1

As everyone begins to settle down into their seats after the 15 minutes, an atmosphere of contempt can be felt all across the court room.

Across the court room in the long balcony in which Elanore and some of her people had once sat, was now filled with a much smaller group consisting of 4 people. The General sat center, to his right sat Ranith, to his right Guenevere and to the Generals left sat Alexander.

The was rather Rigid and firm expression on the Generals face as he waited, knowing what was about to come.

From below the kings balcony you would be able to make out Dylan being escorted and sat into the seat behind the pedestal. Still in cuffs but he looks in rather good shape, not a bruise or scratch to be seen.

Murmuring could be heard amongst the crowd in distaste and hostility.

The sounds of metal footsteps can be heard from behind you approaching and stepping through the curtain doorways two guards in thick, heavy but ornate armor approach. At the center of the chest is the same crest that can be seen carved as a relief sculpture behind the king.

(A large head and mane of a lion, biting down into the neck of a creature whos neck seemed to extend and twist into a loop, covered in feathers with many, many pairs of wings of different kinds. And the top part of a body with that resembles a hound with the face of a person. The bottom of the crest encircled by a crown and large studded gems. The same of which, little boss wears)

The snap of their heels could be heard coming to a halt generally facing the party but never breaking their stand of attention. "The [Demi-god] named Pumpkin has been summoned to the Kings balcony by order of the King."

-Expo: Wait for Pumpkin to get their stuff together. No one else is allowed to go, only pumpkin. Does not take any kind of anything from anyone else.

Turning with an about face, in unison, the soldiers lead you to through a long walkway leading up to the balcony where little boss sits and he was no longer seated but 2 soldiers remained on either side of the throne anyways. The advisor with the red hat named Ezekiel you had stopped when running out of the tower, was also missing.

You can easily look to the center ground floor where the both of them were now. The General kneeled before the young king while the advisor kneeled behind him, keeping his head bowed but his arm reaching forward to help him hold up the greatsword he wasnt yet strong enough to hold up on his own high enough to reach the Generals shoulders. Raising the sword he placed it on either shoulder, speaking up "May our goddess Vontor guide both weapon and heart to find justice." He carried the sword over to where Dylan stood and pointed the sword to the ground in the hanging left position while looking up to Dylan and again with the advisors help to lift the sword, little boss says. "Stand not as a citizen of this country but as an individual before the mother who seeks balance and order. Be judged for the honor you carry and the morals you strive for."

Once both were sworn in, the floor cleared of everyone except the General and Dylan as the suspense builds, waiting for the word.

For pumpkin, it takes a little bit but after a couple minutes, little boss will join you on the balcony and sit in the throne excitedly.

-Expo: Let small banter happen between the two. Pumpkin promised it would be exciting.

Settling in his seat he will raise one hand and announce. The duel shall commence
