Results of Iain's roll sent by PM.   ;D

 Hope Iain's  rapport reaches the king first so Kelson will have up to date information  when he communicates  with Kelric. He especially  needs to know about Valerian's  loss  of his powers.

Good writing, Laurna! I hope, too, that Kelson has received an update from the good Baron. Then Darcy & co can go to help Wash out.

If Iain established  rapport first, Kelson's reply to Kelric will certainly  different. Hope so for Wash's sake as well as Kelric's. Have to say I have been a little disappointed  in Kelson's  handling of the Mearan problem so far.

Remind me never to upset you, Jerusha.

Much as I dislike Piers, it's not a fate I would wish on anyone.

Laurna

Oh, ooch! I almost feel for Piers.

I am pleased that none of the other prisoners betrayed Iain and Wash, I hope they will all be released to the light of day very, very soon.

Thank you, Jerusha, that was good.
May your horses have wings and fly!

Piers is lucky he wasn't working for Feyd. He's not as forgiving to those who betray him.

Jerusha

From the bit of research I did on dungeons in the middle ages (ghastly topic to pursue during lunch!), it seems oubliettes were the more common method of containing prisoners. 

I would never want to be a prisoner during those times (or any other, for that matter).

Laurna

I did a quick reading on the subject too. If you were nobility and a threat to the person holding you, then you were instantly killed. If you were nobility and not a threat, than you were ransomed for lots of money. If you were common folk, you were put in prison and forgotten. If you were common folk imprisoned for a reprehensible crime you were thrown in the oubliette.
Yep, you do not want to be prisoner.

Wonderfully written Jerusha, I almost felt a little sorry for Piers. Certainly would not have wanted to be a prisoner in one of thise medieval dungeons. I can see why Wash vowed never again to be a prisoner. Really glad that Wash took his cue from Feyd and warded the portal they escaped to. They certainly do not want to ever be in the hands of Valerian or Brioc again.

Me too, laurna. i felt so sorry for Kelric. What a terrible dilemma, but I don't think he really has a choice. He has to take this step to protect  not just his own family but Gwynedd and everything that Morgans and Haldanes, including Alaric, worked and sacrificed to build. I agree that Wash, in his right mind, would support this action and would rather die than be the agent of Gwynedd's downfall

Well done, Jerusha and Laurna! I'm again on the edge of my seat, waiting for what happens next. Hopefully Iain can get a message through soon that Wash is safe! And I hope that miserable excuse for a duke, Teymuraz, NEVER gets his powers back.

I agree, Judyward. Just a notè,Teymuraz  is dead , this is his son Valerian.. He is just as bad though.
