    Lordling (Terryn)

    After acknowledging the reports, Artos moves on to the matters that influenced him to conduct this meeting. He roughly summarizes the prior day's events, focusing heavily on the details at Cotarhill. "The situation at that castle was... ghastly. Together with Barnaby's forces, we were able to...

    Lordling (Terryn)

    Upon entering the castle courtyard, Artos immediately dismounts his horse and leaves it for one of the stable-hands to take care of. He marches towards the keep with the weight of crucial matters pressing down on his shoulders, but is intercepted by one of his footmen. Artos doesn't say a word...

    Lordling (Terryn)

    Artos rises with the remnants of a sweat caused by dreams immediately forgotten. He figures they must have been associated with the horrors of the prior night and proceeds to carry out his morning stretches and routine. Soon, he receives word from one of his men and listens carefully to the...

    Lordling (Terryn)

    Once he has been left alone, Artos takes the time to become familiar with the room, stepping around and observing. Being aware of his surroundings, especially after tonight's events, is prioritized. Even more so since he is about to sleep in the very castle that was recently packed with ghouls...

    Lordling (Terryn)

    Artos does not like the final comment made by Barnaby, as he had suggested to burn the dead earlier. He shrugs it off. He agreed to not interfere in the personal affairs of the lordship, to not flaunt the authority of Lord Protector. "I think, with the fatigue my men and I have sustained...

    Lordling (Terryn)

    This is not something that Artos considered, being asked to provide more aid immediately. He's taken off guard from it at first, but holds a firm grip on the wall of confidence. Outwardly, he just listens intently to Barnaby's concerns. Inwardly, he's fuming. Barnaby, you bastard, can't even...

    Lordling (Terryn)

    Upon descending the stairs, Artos was surprised to find that the situation between the brothers was resolved, with Cornick being imprisoned. He had expected to find them still staring each other down, or even to find that Cornick had attempted something foolish. Artos was glad that he wouldn't...

    Lordling (Terryn)

    Gritting his teeth and curling his nose in disgust from the stench that remains, Artos looks upon the aftermath. The oily black liquid that pools and trails across the stone unnerves him, along with the corpses that produced it. It is likely the most gruesome sight he has ever witnessed. He...

    Lordling (Terryn)

    Artos subtly curls his lips upward upon being called a snake. Seeing the lord draw his sword, and anxiously at that, makes Artos snicker lightly. "Cornick, Cornick, Cornick," he shakes his head, "you're too hardheaded for your own good." He motions his arms outward and speaks again, this time...

    Lordling (Terryn)

    The wait prior to Barnaby's arrival made Artos realize that he wasn't free of anxiety and nerves himself. He had a way of prioritizing his feelings, how he should present himself in certain situations to accommodate his desire, but waiting was different. When there was simply no alternative to...

    Lordling (Terryn)

    Artos displays confidence in their plan. "Very well, Barnaby. I will meet you outside the keep when I see that you have gathered. In the meantime, I will run my men through what's about to go down." He gestures dismissal to Barnaby before signaling for his men to gather around. He briefly...

    Lordling (Terryn)

    Artos reflects on all that has been said for several seconds. Nodding to himself, he looks to Barnaby. "Understood," he tells him, "my men will follow suit once you give the call." Artos rubs his chin thoughtfully. "Your plan includes seizing your brother, which he may take very wrongly. He does...

    Lordling (Terryn)

    Artos continues to stroll with Barnaby. "That sounds like a given," he responds, "allowing the undead to remain within your castle will surely lead to unnecessary incidents in the future." Knowing that some of them are relatives of Barnaby and the nobility here, he reassures Barnaby, "It won't...
