Jack's capture.

*Being a deputy and a member of the Hounds...not to mention he promised Arjay he would help move the prisoner...Jarrin would probably be on hand for the release and transfer. As Jack would start resisting and trying to assault the guards, Jarrin would just smack him across the back of the head in an attempt to knock him out.*

*If anyone gives him a glare or stink eye look, he would just shrug and say: "Whaaaattt?"*

Jack would resist until he is undeed incapacitated.

"I WANT A TRI-" passed out.

// We doing this on the forum or are we working on scheduling in game?

//forum is probably still probably the only way to keep the pertinent parties involved.

"Much as I hate to say this, you're more valuable as a trade item than as an execution spectacle," Arjay mused as they loaded into the cart.

((So Jack's passed out. Your guys' move)

((Still your move, Arjay.))

Arjay, and his backup, travel on across the land, Arjay keeping watch on Jack with a wand of Silence ready. Arjay gives orders to take the safest route toward the approach to Castle Krag, hoping against hope that this goes quietly.

*Jarrin goes along with Arjay like he promissed. He is noticeably quieter than normal and not exactly his normal, jovial self.*

"The group would encounter zhent patrols soon after entering zhenrarim controlled territories "

Arjay wouldn't waste any time. "Tell your leaders that we've come to exchange prisoners, as agreed," he'd say before they had a chance to challenge him. "There'll be no trouble today." He would, of course, also relate where they had arranged to meet.

the patrol leaves for krag immediately telling the group they would meet in front of the castle's gate

"dozens of crossbowmen and waiting on the ramparts aiming at the group. When the gates finally opens they are met by an advancing veteran battalion protecting the dark archon and the Darklord's hand. the skymages appear flying over the group on wyverns led by the skymage master's beast Holding Ahri tangling by a rope. *

Arjay would look up at the dangling mage, then back at the Dark Archon as he didn't lead his group any closer. "You'll understand, I hope, if I don't release him until she's on the ground?"

scared not to catch her?

Bring her down! I expect the weavemaster handed over now.

Ahri hadn't exactly expected to be tied and held to a flying mount. She looks quite indignant, but happy to be out of Krag.

Arjay then shook Jack, trying to rouse him.

Jack awakes in a shock, attempting to push or kick Arjay off; but is still weak. Still bound and gagged.

As Jack is woken, and Ahri is brought down, she looks to the Swordhands...or whoever to untie her, rather than lay tied up in the snow.

Arjay took whatever strikes he could manage while bound, then pulled him to his feet. "Today's your lucky day, you're going home," he said, helping him off the cart. Then he'd look to the Archon. "He's been refusing food, he might need help. Send one of your men to escort her out, and we'll trade halfway."

Jack tries to speak the entire way.

EDIT: Also to note; as soon as Jack realizes where/who he was, and what was going on, he became much more compliant.

Ahri doesn't speak to the Swordhands as they escort her, she just keeps a real close eye on them, watching for any funny business. While she had seen both Arjay, Jarrin and Celovar's skill...if the Zhentarim decided to go back on their word, there wouldn't be much that could be done save to run.

*Jarrin watches, but stays by the wagon ((or cart or whatever they brought Jack in )) with his cloak pulled around himself and making no overtly hostile movements at all.*
