The Butcher of Ildon

[dandan1350 479]

OOC NOTE: The butcher's identity is unknown to everyone so far. Other then that all residents, bannermen or nobles of Ildon are involved also Elendil's and a few outside parties. This is just meant to sum up all the butcher rp and I thought it'd be fun.

Dralex walks towards Winterhall spitting into the moat as er New"]he passes it a grim look on his face as he steps into the courtyard, looking over to Goroth and Grimes in their usual spot he quickly passes them trying to avoid attention. Entering into theWinterhall throne room he nods to the guards saying nothing as they let him past, diving to the right he ducks into the stairway moving upstairs as he heads to one of the rafters jolting up with little effort there he perches himself nice and steadily. Dralex slips his bow from his shoulder, slowly pulling an arrow from his quiver he notches it onto the bow string without even paying attention as he wraps two fingers around the bow string giving a quick yank back feeling the tension he nods and slowly drops it letting it slack, the arrow still notched.

“Now I wait…”

After several hours of watching Lord Artorus atop his throne speaking with all those who request audience the day finally comes to an end as nightfalls and the sun slowly lowers behind the tree line. Dralex averts his gaze to the war room door waiting for anyone to enter, waiting and waiting for the Butcher to appear only to no avail as he slowly gives up hope he brings himself down off the rafters, poking his head into Isabella’s room to make sure she is safe he hears a light thud and the rattle of chess pieces. Without hesitation Dralex sets off down towards the war room, jumping large gaps of stairs finally making it to the doors he bursts in nearly knocking one of the mighty doors off its hinges, he quickly darts his gaze around the room only to see a door slowly shut on the other side of the room cursing under his breath he walks to the chessboard only to see the black king representing the butcher behind the white queen representing Isabella, he then curses calling out his own stupidity as he realises his mistake again running up the stairs with great leaps and bounds bursting into Isabella’s room bow at point not sure if any have heard him by now he darts the arrowhead across the room seeing no shapes or movement except from Isabella’s head appearing from under the covers her eyes partially shut as she’s suddenly awoken from her slumber, giving a quick shushing sound he lowers the bow walking to Isabella.

“T’is alright… Just silly me jumping at shadows.”

He says in a calm voice his eyes still darting around the room as he hears the rhythmic thud of boots along the floor outside, as people come to investigate the noise.

OOC:

Please continue on from there! It I imagine would mainly be Elendil's or bannermen running to see the noise but you never know, I do hope this catches on a bit.

Blood entered the keep grounds, crossing over the bridge with a quiet tip of his hood to the gatekeeper. He moved past the usual people, the guards, the Castellan, giving a respectful tip of his hood to all as he moved. He passed through the doors unhindered as he so often does and steps on the rug, the sound of his footsteps muffled by the footpads on his feet. He walks briskly into the room with the chess board and goes to the seat closest to the window. He pulls the chair out and sits in the seat.

He pulls his favorite knife out, one of four on him, and puts it on the table by the chessboard, folding his hands together and resting his chin on them. He eyes the newly moved pieces, figuring that the Black King represents Axl, and the White Queen unknown to him. Without anything to go off of, he only figures Axl and the Butcher are taking turns with their pieces, going at one another, and the actual victory will decide who wins. He stares at the board intently, for a good while, disregarding the sound of the door swinging open in the distance, somewhere in the halls no doubt. He unfolds his hands and leans back in the chair.

"Perhaps we'll catch a killer today."

-Ser Adorellan yawns, walking around Ildon. He attempts to walk around quietly, making his way towards the keep. The sounds of his armor awaken the dogs there howling is heard around Ildon. Adorellan chuckles slightly followed by a sigh, "Daniel?!" He shouts out, worrying from what he's been told. Adorellan walks into the keeps grounds, giving the guards a simple nod, before leaning against the wall.-

*Isabella sits in front of the chessboard frowning heavily. She tilts her head from side to side and makes a clicking sound with her tongue as she remains deep in thought. She picks up the White queen piece and examines it carefully. With an angered sigh she puts it back and picks up the black king. She sighs angrily again and turns to Dralex looking very annoyed*

"Dwalex, This person is silly. He can't play the game properly and I don't like this game of chess. Can't we start again??"

[KidKrinkles 2044]

Blinks a few times at the girl. He looks around for Dralex and sees no one. He looks back to the girl.

"You should probably put that down."

Dralex slowly strolls into the room, looking to Isabella then the hooded man not seeing him as a threat he looks to the chessboard. Dralex walks to Isabella holding out his hand for the king.

"I'll take that Isabella... Now run along, go find Daniel and refrain from touching this board or entering this room."

He gives her a stern and worried look after speaking in a serious tone. Moving to the chessboard he slips his hand under the board and carefully lifts it up moving over towards the door.

"I'm off to my nest... Any who need me can find me there."

[KidKrinkles 2044]

Blinks a few times. He takes his eyes off of the chessboard before looking up to the man walking off with the same chessboard. He pushed out the chair he was in and takes a smooth step backwards, sliding it back into the table as is polite and courteous.

"Nest?"

He says, a ponderous tone in his voice and the most curious and peculiar name to call your home since "the slaughterhouse". He takes a few smooth and quick steps and, presumably, catches up to the man quickly.
