Home and back again

[Ryan]

Ryan trudged through the Laus territory, it was quite for now which was good, Laus was close to Ryerde, he could either stop here for the night or keep going and reach Ryerde by sunlight.
After leaving Ostia in an unsucssfull attempt to find Jason Ryan was tired but as a knight of Lycia it was his duty to return to his Marquess so Ryan pushed foward.

Ryan arrived at the castle Ryerde the next morning, he was greated by the Marquess at the gates.
"I couldn't find Jason milord" Ryan said to the Marquess in a defeated tone
"Ryan it has been almost 10 years, I didn't expect you to find him straight off the bat" The Marquess replied
"But I was his friend, I should have known where to look for him" Ryan blamed himself for Jason's intial dissaperance

"None of that now Ryan, we have recieved word that Bern is attacking Ostia" The Marquess said changing the subject
"Of course Jason loved excitement" Ryan exclaimed
"That's not why we're sending you Ryan, simply put a fellow territory is in trouble and we are helping out, keep finding Jason out of your mind"
"Yes your majesty, I shall return to Ostia at once" Ryan hopped back on his horse
"You should also know that they have a new Marquess over in Ostia, his name is Matthias or something you should check in with him, tell him you were sent by the Marquess of Ryerde, and give them this seal, it is the seal of Ryerde it should proove your telling the truth"
Ryan took the seal from the elderly man and thanked him, he trotted off back to Ostia, the place he had just left.

He was tired so he was defiantly staying in Laus, he went to a small village just south of the castle.
"You there milady, do you know where I could find a place to sleep tonight?" Ryan asked a young woman
"There's an inn up the street and on your left" she replied kindly
"Thank you" Ryan trotted up on majesty to the Inn, it was full of drunken pirates, they looked as if they were staying here for just the night.

"And I slapped that bitch" one of the drunken pirates yelled at the top of his lungs. The other pirates laughed, Ryan thought it was absoloutly disgusting.
"Can I book a room here for just tonight?" Ryan asked
"500 gold" the inn keeper replied
"I'm sorry, I don't have that much is there any way I could get a cheaper deal possibly?" Ryan asked kindly.
"You can have a room for free if you can beat big fat paulie" the inn keeper replied gruffly
"All right, where can I meet this 'Big fat paulie'?" Ryan asked
"PAULIE" the innkeeper screamed as a large pirate that was somewhat sober walked towards the man.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT HOWARD?" Paulie screamed
"This guy here wants to challange you" Howard pointed to Ryan
"Let's go outside" Was all Paulie said as he grabbed his axe, I followed him outside and mounted majesty and pulled out my slim sword.

[Ryan]

I hopped onto majesty and pulled out my slim sword, he took the first swing and almost hit majesty but she was a fast horse and dodged it. I swung my sword down and cut across his face, he screamed in anger and took another furious stroke at me, missing once again.

I jumped off Majesty to distract him, he want after me but before he could get close Majesty kicked him in the head knocking him out cold. Paulie woke up after a few hours not remembering a thing, I got a free room for the night and left early that morning, I would be in Ostia soon.
