Mya Lyons and Crypto and I , Sen'Thia bore witness

        I am Sen'Thia, song forge, new to the Dales.
        I was beaten in Shadowdale by the Zhents for no more than entertaining, singing and acting.
At the Ranger Camp, I happened across an epic fight, worthy of ballad, between one leader of the Zhents, Raegnar, and the leader of the Rebellion, Taeron , supposed to be furious enemies and each the pinnacle of the forces they each represent. Imagine my surprise to learn who they were. No guards at all, they stood alone, pre-arranged? Likely so.
        I bear witness that betrayal is upon the Dales.
No ballad of epic fight ever ends with bitter hated enemies carrying the wounded , felled foe , to that enemy's home land to be healed and saved.
Taeron did exactly that, and I bear witness. The rare chance that he had to finish his vile enemy by his own hand, one on one, was there and in his power, and yet, instead of slaying the "hated" Zhent, Taeron carried him to safety ! . . . and I saw Taeron cast some kind of spell that brought the Zhent back and awake before leaving him in clear sight of Zhent guard towers, to be rescued.
I say a man is known by his actions, and by his actions, Taeron is a betrayer of his so called rebellion, and every person of the Dales, including me, who has been violated by brutality at the hands of the Zhents.
Taeron had not a scratch and yet, this was his dreaded counterpart? What secrets do these men hold between them? Had it not been for the few witnesses, his act would have fooled us all, rallying everyone with hope to his side.
If compassion is claimed, will you believe it? Where did the hatred go? My eyes beheld a game by allies . . . Battle field compassion? , I say NO.
Carried there in Taeron's arms
to a place of certain safety
like a spider taking victom to it's web?
Like a fly to be eaten?
Or more like a mother's arms
to heal what was beaten !
In a soft and warm bed.
Epic warriors toe to toe
to decide the fate of Dales
I saw by action and not word
Taeron forged betrayal.

When the Zhents control the rebellion
 secretly , there is no rebellion.

((I'd like to say that the aftermath of the PvP was influenced heavily by a technical difficulty and a PM conversation we had. I believe that those who need to know more will ask me or Raegar.

I feel I also have to make a statement here:

This is a game, and unless we can play it fair, there's no use playing it. The aftermath was a sign of fair play and I will prefer a small bending of RP for the sake of fair play over a the alternative any day.

WhiteRose - I noticed you tend to be bitter towards me and take things way too seriously. But if you were there as you claim, you'd probably notice the heavy silence that followed the duel as well as the OOC comment that we're settling something OOCly via private messages.

There were OOC issues that influenced the battle and it's outcome.
Fair play prevailed.
We found a way out of the sticky situation without bending our RP too much.
The original thread is not over yet.))

I am told that what an IC character sees as the RP is played, is what sticks , otherwise we can endlessly OOC excuse anything.

*watched Alfie tear down the post he was reading and scamper off*
"I suppose amending would be impossible at this point" he thinks to himself.
"Fiddlesticks" he says

If questioned by anyone about what she saw, Sen'Thia would answer this:
" I admit that I am new to the dales, and maybe in this land men have advanced to the point where enemies can kill each other in gentlemanly fashion, perhaps even delivering your fallen foe back to their kinsman is a normal and regular thing here... I really admit that I do not know if it is.
I saw what I saw , and I speak honestly about what I saw.
Just because in my entire life of singing new and old ballads of war, I have never heard or seen such a thing, does not mean it could not happen.
Why don't I just write a song about it? "

She begins humming and inventing a tune in her head, about the grand nobility of warfare in the dales.

((Next time you see someone log out, don't forget to make a post about how he learned how to vanish completely and then reappear several days later on the same spot. That will make a great RP post. *sage nod*))

\\I am this close to lock this thread.
Enough with this please. Taeron is an old player in the server and if he had a reason to adress something OOCly becasue of OOC issue that both players saw fit, so be it.

You may find a RP excuse for the matter or say it never happened.

White Rose, I think you can be more understanding in this matter and understand that there are time when we ought to take OOC steps for the good of RP.

One more OOC post here and this is going to get locked.

*Piak grins more than once while reading the note*
Hope there are copies of this, this gem needs to be preserved.

Iwean reads the note and wonders to himself, I thought the reabels were heartless! It seems they do have some compassion!" Walks off to find Taeron and congratulate him on his brave deed to return a fallen enemy to safety of its peers.

Actually this thread would mean nothing since the Two that are doing the battle have decided to deal with it with just the two of them. So it is being locked.
