[EVENT RP] The Reclamation of Tania

[Toogee]

Paige was trying to see what was going on outside while Satsume wanted to bring up his earlier misstep. She had far more important things to worry about, however.

"Satsume, we're in the middle of a battle. Can this wait- Yuri?!"

Paige was caught completely offguard: the man she came to find was standing right behind Satsume. She left her post at the window to greet the keeper.

"Yuri, I've been looking for you. When this is all over, I need to speak with you," Paige lowered her voice so other patrons beside Satsume couldn't hear, "I need to speak with you about Ostia, so...don't disappear."

Gasps were heard through the room as the windows darkened from the presence of soldiers. Shortly after, soldiers streamed into the inn and began moving furniture into defensive positions. The innkeeper was nearly distraught at the intrusion, but dared not speak against the Lycian army. Five more soldiers entered, carrying a wounded fighter onto a dining table. Upon closer inspection, the wounded was wearing Bern colors; he was a prisoner. Finally, a soldier wearing a cape closed the door, clearly the commander of his unit of 20 soldiers. His face bore a well-trimmed goatee, his long brown locks of hair fell above his shoulders. He walked in like he owned the place. Given the power of the army, he may as well have.

"Prep the prisoner for interrogation. You two, get your crossbows to the windows upstairs. Shoot anything that flies."

The bowmen immediately made their way upstairs while other soldiers started tying the prisoner to the table. The commander then turned to Paige, Satsume, Yuri, and the rest of the patrons.

"I am Commander Raul. This inn is now our base of operations. You all have the honor of being drafted into the Imperial Lycian Army."
