Environmental Storytelling

-- Marais Executioner's Sword description

Imagine you're a Cleanrot Knight stationed at the Shaded Castle. You've been stationed here for a very long time. Lady Malenia has yet to return from her campaign in Caelid. New orders from the Haligtree ceased long ago. The few travelers who dare approach the castle bring rumors of a disastrous defeat in Caelid. So you hold to the last order you were given. You and your small band of comrades stand guard over the Shaded Castle, keeping the way open for a retreat by sea.

If Malenia is even still alive to require such a retreat. It has been a very long time.

Maleigh Marais is an odd man. He insists on keeping a menagerie of undead in various stages of horror around the castle. He has at least one king revenant amongst them. And he spends far too much time brooding over the spare prosthetics Lady Malenia left behind. But he is, ostensibly, an ally of the Haligtree, and you have been ordered to guard his castle.

Specifically, you have been asked to guard one of said spare prosthetics. You're not sure why. Lady Malenia would have outgrown this one long ago, and there are a dozen more like it upstairs. Still, you do your duty diligently. It fills the time. It even makes you feel a bit better about things, having something to do.

This morning, Marais left on a rare expedition beyond the walls of the castle. He took the king revenant with him. Apparently there's been a bell-bearing poacher skulking about on his land. This will not stand.

He returns near sundown. Somehow he managed to catch the poacher. Even more shocking, he managed to take him alive. The absolutely massive man is chained up and slung across the back of the king revenant.

Marais is in a rare good mood. The last you see of him, he's heading for the courtyard, captured poacher in tow, and yelling for one of the undead bellhops to bring his sword -- no, not the rapier, the BIG one. It's been ages since he executed someone, and he wants to do this properly.

Not fifteen minutes later, you hear a blast of arcane magic and a piercing scream.

Marais comes tearing up the walkway. Without so much as a word to you, he jumps the battlements and takes off through the poisoned swamp, running as if Maliketh himself were nipping at his heels. A moment later the poacher emerges over the ladder, the ancestral executioner's sword of House Marais propped on his shoulder.

He's an absolute monstrosity of a man, easily seven feet tall, armored head to foot and wearing a crooked war mask held in place with altogether too much barbed wire.

Then again, you're nearly as tall, and even now the red and gold of the Cleanrot Knights is recognized and feared.

He looks at you. You look at him.

You decide this is above your paygrade. You clear your throat and gesture to the chest behind you.

"I'm just guarding this arm."

He nods, a moment of awkward silence lingering. He points back at the castle.

"I'm taking the great hall."

He turns and lumbers away. You remain at your post.

The sounds of metallic clattering and someone cursing a blue streak drifts in on the wind. You dare to peer over the battlements. Out in the garbage heap behind the castle, you can just barely make out Marais attempting to jumpstart a long-defunct golem. You shake your head at the futility of the endeavor just as the golem groans to life and Marais begins laughing maniacally.

You decide that this is also above your paygrade. You have an arm to guard.

{{Totally forgot about this thorny dude for a bit, I think it's hard to determine his motives behind gathering bell-bearings though}}

Do the thorns make it hard for you to take off that armor? 0.0

"What makes you think I ever take it off?"

He slowly turns his gaze to the phantom. Elemer's dull tone and imposing form betray no sense of emotion, but he reaches to pull a strand of barbed wire, tightening it around his other arm. Iron thorns prick through the chainmail. Though neither a gasp nor grunt is heard, they have broken skin underneath and the slightest bit of blood oozes through the gauntlet.

"Maybe that better answers your question."

{{I specifically thought of Anakin Skywalker because of how Elemer waves his sword around using the Force, but like it’s the edgy Force powers because it’s red in color}}
