End of the Age

the ship follows, and they are met by guards

hanna hands a soldier the banner and walks up with her commander shes wearing black temarian knight plate armor with nilfgaard additions to it

Albrecht: Thoughts on all this, Lieutenant? And might I add, how did you come by Temarian knight armor and why?

hanna: im excited to explore new lands and I collected it as a trophy and to taunt them I had them decorate it and modify it with my own

Albrecht: Exciting as this might be, let's remain cautious. Just a glance at that knight reminds me to much of those in the Northern Kingdoms. As for your armor...Clever, but just hope a general doesn't stop by for an inspection. It could get you in no small amount of trouble. Regulations and all that.

hanna: I always have a spare sir

*He laughs at that.*

Albrecht: Smart Lieutenant, very smart. When we make port, I want you to remain on board, just in case something were to happen.

hanna: sir I will not question your command but I would love to step in first but very well I understand

Albrecht: We're already going to be a shock to them. A female officer meeting with them may be considered an insult.

hanna: I understand sir

*They eventually make port. Albrecht descends from his flagship via a ramp. He is flanked by his bodyguards and the two Witchers.*

they are greeted by several soldiers

Albrecht: Which of you fine...gentlemen, is in command?

berk is still acting a a body guard for the captain

Desmond: command of who specifically?

Albrecht: Well, you immediate group for starters, but I suppose your direct superior would be best for the purpose of a diplomatic meeting.

OOC: Crap, just realized something. Okay, when people are talking in a non-common tongue (example: Nilfgaardian), indicate with brackets: [Like so.] It's how it's indicated in Witcher 3 when you have subtitles enabled, so let's do it here as well. Will help make things easier.

"I am in command here. Lord Hightower rules the city"

Albrecht: Would your Lord Hightower be available for a meeting?

"I dont know"

Albrecht: Very well, can you at least take us to his keep?

"you mean the hightower? alright" *gestures to the obvious really high tower/lighthouse*

Albrecht: Please, lead the way.

hanna signals him over

Albrecht *to the knight*: Excuse me for a moment.

*He goes over to her.*

Albrecht: Yes, Lieutenant?

"do you want me to set a perimeter around the ships?"

Albrecht: Very much so, Lieutenant. Better to be cautious in places such as this. And in the future, even if I don't order it, be sure to keep men on guard at all times and set up perimeters where appropriate. A good officer always tries to anticipates their commander's next order.

"yes sir "she orders her troops in a perimeter around the boats

*He turns away from her. His entourage follows the knight to the tower.*

he leads the way
en route
"a woman commander eh?"

Berk: i'll just remain your bodyguard till you say otherwise

Albrecht *to the Witcher*: That will do. *to the knight* Yes. I trust that will not be a problem? You see, in Nilfgaard, we don't care what is between a person's legs or their vocation or birth, only that they are good at their job. She earned her rank.

"not a problem, just never seen it before"

Albrecht: I take it women are not...terribly valued beyond breeding here then?

Berk: not to mention she could probably kick any other man on the ships ass save me drake and the captain

"Depends where you are i guess"

Drake: No, she could definitely kick your ass.

*Albrecht ignores the Witchers.*

Albrecht: I see...Very well. *They eventually arrive at the tower.*

the guards let them in

*They enter and wait to be granted an audience with Lord Hightower.*

Berk: that one time did not count the ground was covered in nekker intestines and i slipped.

Drake: If only bad footing was an excuse every dead Witcher could use.

that and being to cocky

Drake: That to. So....think this local lord is going to be just like the ones back home?

she paces back and forth examining her soldiers stance maing sure they are top notch

*They up to Nilfgaardian standards, for untested troops.*

she then looks at the natives and their gaurds

Well if hes a narsasistic ass we will know

*Drake just laughs at that.*

*The lieutenant notes that the locals have assigned what appear to be simple militia to keep an eye on the Nilfgaardians.*

they are lead to a small boat first

*They board it.*

Drake *whispering*: Great...Off one boat and on another.

they also board
they get rowing
they see they are approaching
THIS

Albrecht: Impressive. I assume your lord lives there?
