[kcdeliverance]

No, no, no. I'm telling you, Dry Devil is a hell of a marksman! I'd bet my right arm that drunk as he is, he could still hit anything you can point at!

[and-i-will-kiss]

The word of a bandit he says. It's up to me to trust it or not.

He kept it as he said. Bloodied eyes pierce me, those tell me I'm dead. But not so yet, as I get dragged by force into Nebakov's dungeon, together with Sir Hans. I'm too tired to fight against the push, or to look behind, behind me there's just a pile of corpses, I can smell them, my arms long dropped down to my sides, Hans is worse for wear, as he tumbles inside the cage. He's up for ransom, as for me, this Zizka hisses he doesn't know what he'll do with me. My minutes are counted starting now, I shake my tiredness away while I pace like a wild caged animal about.

The bandits disappear after a call of rebellion rumbles in the fortress. Stranded and it's just the sinister silence of waiting around us. Hans is none the wiser and sits down on a nest of hay. I can't, my legs won't give away. Probably this is the fourth of fifth time I have been tip toeing around Death's threshold, and my body knows it. More than my already battered and bruised head could ever know. Sir Hans just sighs, I think his usual banter has been robbed out of him, at least he's conscious and with me right now, even if that nasty brownish gash on his forehead tells a different story. I feel guilty, the only take away is that I'm clearly not the best bodyguard. Or advisor. I'm just a mender. Mending my Liege's oversteps, mending my mistakes, mending and patching wounds that weren't supposed to be there in first place. Mending is the opposite of forging - I try to put things in a way I can easily understand them - I have seen many times how a badly built thing ends up in the forge and you have to hammer it out until it resembles something useful again, but the core, its insides... My mistakes, Hans' as well, are too costly now, so much it could put a price on our lives.

My train of though gets suddenly trampled on, as the door almost gets removed from its hinges, with Zizka's men pushing Itsvan Toth inside. The bastard. Finally at my grasp. The bandits' only grace on the Hungarian is that they push him in the other pen; maybe they saw me, how my face changed colour, and my intentions to strangle him, as I paced like a caged wolf in my enclosure.

The cunt can't even remember me. Am I this invisible? I'm gonna make me as evident as I can now, you fucking monster. Traitor. Scum. Hans suddenly springs up from his corner and backs me up. As I bring up my missing sword, the one he stole from me, the one I'm supposed to hand to my father, his demeanor and posture changes. Now he's a blade himself, and he wants to see me bleed. "Radzig's bastard", he derides, and he smiles, yes, he does, wide and bright, at our condition. Oh the irony, something he wields well, seeing he's as trapped as we are. I swear, if these jail bars were thinner, I would have stretched out to reach and punch furiously his smug mouth off his traitorous face.

Nobody would have noticed, but the clamour outside tells something different. In comes Erik, Itsvan's aide, and his men. They managed to shake Zizka's men away and now they are preparing to escape. They release Lord Nevak and Toth. As a parting gift he gives me a glimpse of my father's sword, like a baring of teeth. And of course I can't allow this challenge to go unclaimed. I swear I'll find you, Toth, I'll make this distance even shorter, closer than now, closer than ever, so near you won't be able to breath again in your entire life. Short and cruel. This is a parting promise.

So now it's just the two of us, alone again. Both high strung and swearing between our teeth, but still trapped here. We just recount how many turns the coat has had, impressed with the amount of crossing and double crossing this war has, and how our role, our mission, has spun out of its original direction. It was supposed to be so easy. We are not messengers anymore, we are pawns. We need to get out.

Long minutes pass, the world outside has returned to its usual hums and footsteps, only interrupted by something stomping in our direction. The poor door, I must say praise the carpenter who made it this strong, gets slammed all the way back again and, from its too, too bright to see directly sill, a figure enters the room, a familiar one - at least to me, but so unexpected it might be a joke from God.

Godwin? Is that really you? Oh God.

(I recently replayed this segment and it's insane the amount of detail it has. Never did Semine completely in my first playthrough, but now I did and, while I was expecting some changes in the ambush that didn't happen, wow, they rounded up some loose ends really well. Some people are finding other stuff, like not following Hans after the lake ambush, and stuff that only appears is Henry has levelled up a lot during the Trosky segment. Currently I'm back at Suchdol and starting map 2)

EDIT: forgot to post this Godwin I did aaaages ago
