This is a Bishop/KC fanfic. The KC is called Selene she is a chaotic neutral human rogue/bard of fey heritage who is rather cynical and jaded. A line break means a change in scene or perspective. I also feel that I should mention that some of the convos are based on ones from the Bishop romance pack by Domi of G3, which is awesome and should be checked out.
I also suggest that you listen to Savior by Rise Against before, during, or after reading. I just feel it really fits the story and relationship between Bishop and Selene.
ooooo
"Go. You put West Harbor in danger by staying here." Was the last thing I remember my foster father Daegun saying to me. Now I stood in Neverwinter. In front of the house of Aldanon the sage. The one both Sand and Duncan said would be able to tell me more about this mysterious shard. I took in a deep breath. I then caught my reflection in the window. My raven colored hair disheveled, wisps of it had escaped from my braid. My pale complexion was a bit flushed from all the work I had been doing clearing out the docks. My blue eyes were as always looking critical, untrusting, jaded. I sighed and then knocked on the door.
"Yes, who is it?"
"My name is Selene. I am with the city watch and I have some questions for you."
"Of course come in, come in. I would never stand in front of the city watch intentionally. Not unless there wasn't anywhere else to stand but that would only happen during a flood of some sort."
"Right," I said rather sarcastically as we followed him through the strange house.
When he stopped he turned around and said: "What is it you wished to ask me?"
I held out the silver shard and said: "I was told you might know something about this."
"My word indeed I do." He then pulled a similar shard from his pocket and said: "I have been trying to study it for some time now but haven't been able to make much progress."
"Well, maybe you'll be able to make more progress if you use mine too. As long as I get it back that is."
"But of course. It just so happens I just got the quicksilver I need for the experiment. I'll be right back."
Sometime later Aldanon returned to say "Well, dear me with another of these shards I learned quite a bit. It seems these are pieces of a silver sword of Gith."
I raised a brow and asked, "Do you have any idea how it got here or how it was broken?" I'd read of Gith and her followers and thought these swords were incredibly rare for one and nigh indestructible for two.
"I have no idea." Said Aldanon.
I sighed asking "Do you know anyone who would?"
"Perhaps Ammon Jerro."
"And where would I find him?"
"What?" asked Aldanon "Oh no he's dead, been dead for years."
"Great how am I supposed to figure more out about this sword then?"
"You could go and visit Jerro's haven."
"Do you know where it is?"
"Heavens no why would I? His family might, though. You could go and check the archives but petitioning to get in could take weeks, months even"
"Great," I said wondering if the man actually had anything helpful to say.
"Here take my shard I don't need it anymore."
"Thank you."
"You're very welcome and when you get to the archives be sure to ask for Archives Administrator Cotenick. He's been known to let me in quietly every now and then." I thanked him again and left his home.
"Well, that was helpful." I said sarcastically as we left, rubbing the back of my neck.
"Really?" said Grobnar "I didn't think he told us much at all but I guess that's why you're the leader."
I rolled my eyes thinking "By the gods. What is it with gnomes not understanding sarcasm?"
Neeshka smirked letting out a chuckle and Elanee said: "Grobnar I don't think she was being serious."
"Blasted gnome." Muttered Khelgar.
I was still wondering how Grobnar didn't get himself killed on an almost daily basis when Neeshka said
"Hey isn't that the place Aldanon was talking about?"
I looked around and saw a large elegantly official looking building and replied "Maybe. You're the native here. You tell me."
She frowned slightly at me and said "I'm pretty sure it is. It looks like it would be the place regardless."
"True enough." I said, "Let's check it out."
As we entered I looked about and then said: "Something seems off here."
"Off?" Elanee asked, "How so?"
"I don't know." I replied "It's just a strange feeling I'm getting and I've learned to trust my instincts. Be on your guard."
Neeshka nodded saying "She's right I feel it too."
Just then someone ran around the corner it was a man in a robe and veil and upon seeing ran up to us and said
"Thank the gods you're here."
"Why what's happened?" I asked
"Demons have broken in. They killed all my fellow caretakers you have to help." Said the man desperately
"Of course we'll help." I said, "But first we're here to locate information about an Ammon Jerro do you know anything about that?"
"In the vault most likely but you'll need open it."
"How do we do that?"
"By answering the four riddles that prove you worthy of accessing the vault. You'll need this, though."
He took off his veil and handed it to me. "Wear this and you'll be able to see the pens."
"Pens?" I asked. There was then a loud crash nearby and the caretaker ran for the door.
I sighed and put the veil on. We then walked into the main room the vault was locked up tight and was locked in a manner of which I'd never seen before.
"There's no way of picking this lock," said Neeshka "we'll have to find a key of some sort."
"Sounds like fun." I grumbled.
Casavir frowned at me and said "No need to be cynical about it."
I gave a sarcastic smirk and slightly leaning on my sword I said "But I'm a cynical person. Are you asking me to be someone I am not?"
He raised an eyebrow at me and Grobnar said: "She has a point."
Still smirking I turned about and went to go look for these pens. Across the hall was a small room, in it a pedestal with a book and pen on it.
As I made my way toward it I barely avoided being struck by an arrow, it burying itself in the wall to my right. I glanced to my left and shot an ice arrow at the githyanki standing there catching it in the throat. I then had to duck as another one came out of the shadows to my right swinging a large, thin blade. The latter was then bowled over by 200 pounds of dwarf and I couldn't help grinning a bit. There were only a couple more after this; Casavir striking one down with his shield and crushing its head with his hammer, Hammer of Justice he called it, and the other Neeshka had snuck up behind and stabbed it in the back, quite literally. Once that was all said and done I walked up to the book and pen and watched it scrawl a question. In reference to the tome "Death of a Sailorman." who is the captain of the Crimson Hawk?
"Lariat Quist." I replied
"Well done. That's what I was about to say." Said Grobnar
"How did you know that?" asked Neeshka
"Bardic knowledge." I said with a wink. She frowned at me and I laughed saying "I read the book before. It's not like I had anything else to do in West Harbor. Now come on one down three to go."
ooooo
"Interesting there is another Jerro." Said a githyanki as we entered the vault. "We should find her, as Zeeaire will be wanting her." with that he turned and left.
One of his companions turned and seeing us said: "The Kalach-Cha kill her!"
They were not hard to dispose of and once they were out of the way I walked over to the book the gith had been examining and it said that this remaining Jerro was one Shandra Jerro.
"Shandra?" said Neeshka "The Highcliff girl with the flammable barn?"
"We must get to her at once the githyanki are probably after her as we speak." added Elanee.
I nodded and we all headed off to Highcliff
ooooo
"What are you doing here?" Shandra asked
I gave a smirk thinking it a bit obvious after fighting off all those githyanki. Though I replied, "I'm trying to rescue you."
She took a step back as the room filled with more githyanki and she said running into the next room "Why don't you just leave me alone?"
I swore and turned whistling a battle tune as I attacked the nearest githyanki. When the last of them had fallen we turned following her into the bedroom.
"Why are you following me? What do you want with me?" She asked
"No time for questions just come on!" I said grabbing her arm.
She started to resist until she saw the flames and then I was able to get her out of the house.
Breathing heavily she asked "What is going on? What are those things? What do they want with me? What do you want with me?"
Taking out the gith that had started the fire with my bow I then replied "I'll tell you later. Right now we have to get you somewhere safe."
"Fine!" she said throwing her arms up in defeat "Let's go."
ooooo
"And who's this lovely young lady?" Duncan asked as we entered the flagon.
"This is Shandra" I replied
"Nice to meet you, lass. I'm Duncan and this is my establishment the Sunken Flagon." Duncan said to her with a particular gleam in his eyes that made me roll mine.
She nodded and said" Nice to meet you as well. Now, if someone wouldn't mind telling me what's going on."
I stretched and said, "We, just as the githyanki, found out that you are the last of Ammon Jerro's descendants and we need to know if you know where his haven is as it may have some very important information in it."
"Ammon Jerro he was my grandfather or my great grandfather. I'm not really sure, to be honest. My mother told me he was a humble if eccentric wizard."
"I see and what do you know about the haven?" I pressed.
"Not much only what my mother told me that it was a labyrinth of demons and death traps and that only a Jerro was able to enter by shedding blood." She took a step back saying "Wait. Is that why you saved me so you could bleed me?"
I rolled my eyes thinking "Yes, that's exactly what we mean to do."
But before I could respond Casavir said: "That's not our intention please calm down."
"Ok sorry. Just a lot to take all at once; I guess." she said calming down a bit.
"A little Paladin charm sure calmed her quick." Said Neeshka, flicking her tail.
I smirked in agreement with her and said "Anyway we can pick up on this tomorrow. Let's all get some rest."
ooooo
I woke to Duncan yelling that the flagon was under attack. I jumped up and grabbed my rapier and dagger. There was no need to get dressed I had slept in my armor as always. The door then burst open and a couple of githyanki came in. After I cut them down I made my way down the hallway till I came to the tavern area where the main battle was taking place, fighting more githyanki along the way.
Once the battle was over and we were nursing injuries Duncan said "That lass Shandra has been taken! We must do something! Where in the hells did those githyanki come from?"
An attractive man who'd been helping fight the githyanki then said "Does that really matter? What does matter is you'll have to act fast if you want to get her back." Crouching over one of the bodies he continued "Look here this one has a sprig of Duskwood in their boot that is sure to be where they're returning."
"Duskwood?" said Duncan "That's your territory, Bishop."
"Yes, but I'm not going back there for some farm girl and certainly not with any kin of yours, Duncan."
I frowned wondering what his problem was. There was something about him something so familiar, something that drew me to him though I was unsure of what it was and I didn't like it, I didn't like it at all.
I came to when I heard Bishop say "Fine I'll do it. It'll be worth it to be rid of you, Duncan."
Duncan nodded and I raised an eyebrow, curious. But Duncan looked away avoiding my gaze. I shrugged, looking away as well.
"All right, well pack your bags and let's get moving we're bound for the Luskan border."
ooooooo
"What is it?" Bishop asked as we were following the trail of the githyanki. He looked right at me and said "Well? You've been staring at me since we left."
It was true and I looked away. I thought I had been being inconspicuous. So either he was really good or I wasn't being as sneaky as I thought I was. Or both; that too was a possibility.
"Is there something you want to tell me?" he asked a little annoyed
I smiled sweetly at him and said "No, Nothing. Nothing at all." I then pulled my flute from my belt and began to play a song I hadn't heard in quite a while.
ooooooo
He stared after her, both a little annoyed and a little stunned. He was rather unsure what to think of her. She certainly wasn't anything like Duncan and that look she had been giving him, just barely detectable, he was unsure what to make of it. He had had women look at him before; he was an attractive man and he knew it. Though the look she had been giving him wasn't anything like the looks he had received from interested women. No, this look was more one of curiosity than of lust. As if he were a puzzle she was trying to figure out and he had to admit he was curious about her too. Something about her... he didn't know. He then shook his head and continued on the sooner he was done with this the sooner he could get away. Get away from Duncan and his strange niece.
ooooo
"Hold up something isn't right here." Bishop said as we came upon a small village.
I nodded in agreement adding "You're right not only are all the people gone but there is no livestock anywhere." I drew my bow as I spoke.
Bishop smirked and said "Good eyes. I'd noticed the villagers but you're right about the livestock. Something is defiantly wrong here."
Looking around tensely I said "This has been easy. Way too easy. I hardly ever paid attention to Daegun when he was trying to teach me how to track and even I've been able to pick up their trail."
"I've noticed that too." Said Elanee
Bishop nodded saying "Keep your weapons handy and your eyes open; I smell an ambush."
Moments later an arrow came flying at me I held up my arm deflecting it with my bracer then let an arrow of my own fly catching the githyanki between the eyes.
ooooo
"Nice little ambush they planned here," Bishop commented, "Decent effort, sloppy execution, It might even have worked if I hadn't been here."
I raised an eyebrow at him thinking "Really?"
He then continued "They left a large force in this village, which means it'll be easier on us when we catch up to the others, as long as we catch up to them before they go to ground."
"If their forces are divided then good," I replied, "But that means the remainder will travel faster, and the trail will be harder to follow."
Bishop smirked and said, "Well now, aren't you a bright ray of hope?"
I smirked back as Casavir said, "She was merely pointing out the realities of the situation Bish-"
"I suggest you rein in that attitude of yours, paladin," Bishop snarled "What? You don't think our leader can speak for herself?"
"It was not my intention to speak for her." Casavir said stiffly
"Yeah? Then don't, and maybe next time you'll sound convincing."
I raised an eyebrow and holding back a smile thought "Well this shall be interesting."
They glared at each other for a while and then Bishop looked away towards me and said
"What I was going to say, Is that she's right. What's more, our friends won't be leaving an obvious trail this time, since they don't have the men to bait any more ambushes."
A woman then ran up to us saying "Excuse me are you hunting a woman Shandra Jerro?"
"Yes, we are. Did you happen to see her?" I asked.
"Yes. Those creatures took her north they barely have an hour on you if… pardon my manners I am Alaine and thank you for helping us and for trying to rescue Shandra."
"Don't worry about it." I said
"You have our word, Alaine that we will see to it that she comes to no harm." Said Casavir
"We promise no such thing. She may be dead for all we know. Now run back to your scared kinsfolk."
I nodded and said, "Agreed, we should get moving."
"Listen to her girl. Next time fight or you'll die." Bishop said.
"Not as long as I'm here, ranger." Said Casavir.
"You can't be everywhere, paladin and besides sometimes protecting the weak just keeps them weak." Replied Bishop.
"He has a point." I said
Casavir looked at me appalled and I said "What? He does. Look at logically. If you keep defending someone day after day, you're not really doing them or you any favors. It will become tedious after a while and I really think you just may come to resent them. Although maybe not, for people do make livings as bodyguards. Anyway, I digress what I mean to say is if you teach them how to defend themselves instead then you are both able to move on with your lives. So I repeat he has a point."
Casavir just shook his head and looked away.
I shrugged and said, "Some people just simply won't listen to reason."
"You're something else. You know that?" said Bishop.
I smiled and said, "I'll take that as a compliment."
"Take it how you will." He replied.
oooooo
We had stopped for the night in a small clearing. Bishop assured me that we would arrive tomorrow so I had decided to rest underneath a nearby tree. I pulled out my flute and began to play it softly so as not to disturb anyone.
A few moments after I had begun playing I heard "What is that song you play?"
I jumped a bit and saw Bishop standing nearby I hadn't even seen him.
"This one?" I questioned "It's just a fey lullaby that was played for me as a child, by Daeghun's wife perhaps. I don't know, for she died when I was very young but I still remember it and it was defiantly a woman who used to sing it to me."
"So you're an orphan? That doesn't surprise me."
"That I am." I replied with a slight sigh. "Never knew who my father was not even Daeghun does and my mother supposedly died in childbirth."
"Supposedly? You doubt this?"
"I sometimes feel like I have memories of her but they are like dreams and cannot clearly focus on them; so they very well may be dreams. Dreams of the mind of a child wishing for her mother." I shook my head and with a wan smile said "Forgive my ramblings. What of your own family?"
"I have no family." He replied with a finality that was meant for me not to question,
"Of course." I replied bringing my flute to my lips once more,
Bishop stayed nearby listening to my song, watching me until it was over and then disappeared again.
ooooooo
Bishop walked away after the song was over wondering yet again what it was about her that drew him in. For the past couple of days, they had been on the trail of this girl Duncan was so eager to get back and he couldn't help but notice he always seemed to end up near her. whether he wanted to or not. He would find himself almost right next to her when walking or when they set up camp. Like tonight he had planned to check the perimeter of the camp and then go straight to sleep. But upon hearing that hauntingly beautiful song she always played he was drawn to her unable to stay away. He shook himself glaring at her over his shoulder. He didn't like not being in control of his actions. She noticed his gaze and gave him a smile or more of a smirk really and then began to play a new song. Continuing to glare he then turned about to make the perimeter check he had intended to.
Ooooooooo
"I don't care what your reasons are. Just return the girl now." I said angrily to the Zeeaire the gith leader.
"Trust me once she's after you, you're doomed." Said Shandra
The gith leader laughed saying "Know that you are in no position to demand anything from me, you will answer for your crimes...along with this frail thing that carries the last of the Jerro blood."
"Crimes?" I said, "You were the ones to attack me first!"
"That does not matter." She replied "You are in possession of the silver shards that is enough to warrant your execution. Now give them to me and I shall give you and your companions a quick painless death."
I smirked and said "Funny I was just about to offer you the same."
Zeeaire then rose her hand and I felt an intense pain in my chest as I was lifted off the ground and the shards flew from my pack towards her. I growled as they did so furious she was able to get them from me so easily.
I saw both Casavir and Bishop move toward me as Zeeaire said "Odd. I have all the shards you carry but you still seem to have one. You have a piece of the sword inside you and I shall remove from you by force!"
Casavir ran to support me as I fell. I pushed him away snarling
"I'm fine."
I then straightened up whistled a battle tune and struck out at the nearest githyanki. Soon enough we had Zeeaire cornered she was alone gripping her side as the blood pooled out on to the floor. Her minions all dead on the ground yet she still seemed to possess that same sense of arrogance she had before. This both annoyed me and made me respect her a little at the same time.
"You think this is over? You are wrong Kalach-cha. And I hope the pain you have brought here is revisited upon you a thousand fold. Evil wakes Kalach-cha, and in killing me you now stand alone against what comes. An ancient enemy, one that has existed for millennia comes for you. You have already felt the effects of his presence and he will only grow stronger with time."
"Tell me. Who is this enemy?" I asked, "And be quick about your life's running out."
I saw both Elanee and Casavir look disapproving at this while Bishop smirked approvingly.
"This enemy, this King of Shadows..." she wheezed out "If he succeeds in his plans your civilization will become dust, and all life will be consumed by darkness." She then began to laugh maliciously and I drew my rapier slashing her throat and cutting off her laughter as she fell, clutching it, to the ground.
Looking disapproving Casavir said "I'm not sure that was really necessary. She was evil but…" he trailed off.
I looked at him over my shoulder with an incredibly cold gleam in my eye and said "She was going to die anyway would you rather me leave her here to bleed out on the cold stone floor? A much worse fate if you ask me, though I will admit that I did not do it for purely altruistic reasons. She is the one responsible for sending the gith to my village and subsequently killing my best friend, at least four other villagers, not to mention injuries to numerous others, setting it aflame and a few other reasons I don't believe we really have the time to get into."
I swear Bishop was grinning so widely his face was at risk of cracking and Casavir then said "Of course I was only saying…"
"I knew what you were saying and we don't have time for it." I replied coldly "Save your sentiments for those who deserve them."
I then sheathed my blade and went over to Shandra's cage. Opening it I asked "You ok?"
She smiled and said, "Yes and thank you I have no idea how I can pay you back but I will."
"Oh, you'll have plenty of time to repay us all back on the way back to Neverwinter." Bishop said smiling suggestively
"What? I-" she said taking a step backwards.
I gave him a bit of glare and said: "I'll pass thank you and you better as well if you want to keep your tongue."
He smirked and said "Oh, jealous are we? Don't worry I haven't forgotten your lovely face oh fair leader or the debt you owe me for giving away my knife. What's better than a woman with a piece of cold iron for a heart or is it an addition to?"
"Instead, I would think. I've been told on numerous occasions that I'm heartless." I quipped back.
Bishop grinned wickedly and said, "You get prettier with every word."
I crossed my arms ready to retort when Casavir said: "I won't have you speaking to her or anyone else like that Bishop."
"Oh really." Said Bishop "What a surprise and what would you say if I just decided to leave you here with your righteousness to keep you company?"
"Enough." I said, "We're leaving now and Casavir?"
"Yes, my lady?" he replied
"I know you mean well but I can take care of myself." I then quickly turned about heading for the exit.
ooooooo
"Good to see you've returned and in one piece no less." Said Duncan as we entered the flagon.
I nodded and said "Yes, good indeed. I was wondering if I could talk to you about something."
"Of course what is it?" Duncan asked
"This wound on my chest. Do you know anything about it?" I asked nonchalantly
"That well I don't know why you're asking but from what I know you suffered that wound when you were just a babe during the battle of West Harbor must have been a stray arrow or debris."
I frowned and said "It wasn't any stray arrow or debris. It's one of these." I said holding up a silver shard.
"Is that so?" he said nervously "I-we had no idea."
"Ah notice the stumble in his words. He's hiding something from you." Bishop said smirking.
Duncan glared at him and said "Silence Bishop!"
Duncan then looked back at me and said: "Look I'm not supposed to talk about it and my brother will be furious for me telling you but if you have one of those shards in you I suppose you have a right to know the truth." He sighed heavily and continued "During the battle of West Harbor while everyone was fleeing for their lives your mother Esmerelle and Daegun's wife Shayla did not as the whole place was going to the hells they fought to reach your crib and by the time Daeghun realized they were missing it was too late. He could only watch from a distance as the village was consumed in battle."
I stood a bit stunned for a moment and then said: "So, Daeghun lied when he told me my mother died in child birth?"
"Yes but I'm sure he had the best intentions. He probably thought it would be just too much to bear knowing she died protecting you. You were all that was left after the battle of West Harbor." His eyes seemed to glass over as he continued remembering "Your mother was still clutching you tightly when we got there. There was so… so much blood. She tried to shield you but the shard must have cut through her and into you. We thought you wouldn't survive at first with that deep wound in your chest but you did it sealed itself within days."
"I…I thank you." I said softly.
"You're welcome it's been with me a long time and it's good to finally speak of it." He said with a sigh of relief.
"Come now we succeeded in our mission did we not I think that calls for a celebration." Bishop said breaking the awkward silence.
I raised an eyebrow at him curious as to what he meant he then continued saying "I've also come to the conclusion that I think it'll be best if I stay on with you."
My eyebrow rising even higher I asked: "Oh really and why would you want to do that?" I said my eyes gleaming mischievously and with a slight smirk on my lips I added: "Not that you're not welcome but I thought you were wanting to leave as soon as possible."
Giving me a bit of a glare but also the slightest hint of that wicked grin of his he said "True but traveling with you is the most fun I've had in years and why would I want to give something like that up?"
"No, no Bishop you've done what I asked you can go now." Duncan said firmly
"Oh come now Duncan," Bishop said his grin widening "I still owe you don't I? And what better way to make it up to you then to help out your kin here?"
"We don't need any of your help Bishop." Said Casavir coldly almost glaring at him but just almost I don't think he would ever actually glare at anyone.
"I don't think it's really your decision is it, Paladin." Bishop said spitting the last word venomously.
The tension was almost palpable. I stepped in between them and said first to Casavir "I won't be turning away any willing ally. He's welcome to stay as long as he wants. Understood?"
"But my lady he's…" Casavir began.
"Am I understood?" I said firmly interrupting him.
"Yes." He said relenting.
I heard Bishop snicker and I turned to him and said: "And Bishop?"
"Yea." He said still smirking.
"You're going to have to at least try and get along with the others. Alright?"
He snorted derisively and my eyes narrowed. He rolled his own and said "Fine. I'll try."
"I hate to ask but what happens to me? I can't go back to my farm ashes and all." Shandra asked a little awkwardly.
"Well, you're more than welcome to stay here." Said Duncan quickly.
I raised an eyebrow at him and said "That you are. Besides, we still need you to find Ammon Jerro's haven."
"Oh, thanks for your compassion." Shandra said sarcastically.
Bishop gave her a bit of a glare while I shrugged saying "I said I was heartless what do you expect?"
She crossed her arms and looked away clearly upset.
I sighed putting my face in my hand for a moment and then said "Look I'm sorry for what's happen to you but it's not my fault. I was just trying to help both you and me. But if there is something I can do to help I will."
She gave a look that was somewhere between confusion and gratitude and said "Thanks, I think."
I nodded and said "I'll also do my best to help you with some combat training. We can't be rescuing you all the time."
"I agree with that! I'll help out too, lass." Khelgar said a little too eagerly in my opinion.
"Well alright." She said hesitantly "I'll take whatever help you can give."
"Good now how about we start with the celebration. I could use a glass of wine." I said stretching to try and relieve the tension.
"Sounds good." Said Bishop "Grobnar you worthless half man strike up a tune before I strike you."
I raised an eyebrow at him and smirking broadly he said: "Don't worry I have other plans for your lips my lovely little bard."
I almost blushed and grinning asked, "Is that so?"
"It is."
I gave a chuckle and was almost enraptured by his amber eyes. "And what would these plans be?"
Just then I heard "There you are."
We both snapped back to normal moving away from each other as the man who entered the tavern said: "I've been looking for you."
I raised an eyebrow as I said: "And who would you be?"
"I am Sir Nevalle and I am here because Luskan has accused you of murder; of an entire village no less." He replied
"What?" I said "That's ridiculous! What reason would I have for murdering an entire village?"
"I have no idea." Nevalle said "But there is no way I'm turning over a loyal member of the watch to Luskan treaty or no treaty. There is a loophole if you pledge yourself to one of the Knights of Neverwinter you will be tried here and not in Luskan."
I smirked and said "Ah, there's always a loophole isn't there? Where is this knight I need to pledge myself to?"
"Go to the watch in the market district. Sir Grayson will meet you there." Nevalle stated.
"Very well." I said, "I shall leave to go there as soon as possible."
"See that you do." Nevalle said he then left closing the door sharply behind him.
I then made for the door myself as the others seem to burst into argument over what to do. I didn't see what they were complaining about. I pledge myself to this knight do a little fast talking and get myself out of it. If not I suppose I could always make a break for it.
