<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Baroness Jan, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have stayed quiet on the matter of Ruspoli as all
should know that my loyalty will always lie with the Kingdom, the King and Queen
of Ansteorran and to those they entrust with their lands (which
means I support my friends HE Kainin and HE Orianna). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But I must speak up and let you all know the rest
of the story of Elizabeth.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have for the past week hunted across the
lands near the Crossrodes for the source of constant howling sounds and
other distressing noises that have echoed across the lands
- night and day. And so this past Saturday eve in the
persuit of this cause of tracking the poor afflicted
animal sounds I came to the manor of the parents of lady Elizabeth
Blackthorne. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There I saw the lady Elizabeth
Blackthorne and I was amazed and revolted at the vile words that came
forth out of her mouth as she gloated at the attempt she made on Kainin life at
Am Loch and she is in my not so humble opinion out of her ranting mind
on where her loyalty resides. Such words she spake that eve I will not
repeat to a mixed or young company. Her poor father and mother
were worn out from trying to help her to no avail and her brother said
that his parents were fearful of her as she rants and hollers late into the
night air and keeping them from a good nights sleep worring about this Ruspoli
that she goes on about to "come and save her from traitors." Little
did they realize that the Ruspoli she screams for to "rescue her" is the
same one that has been a curse to the western lands of Ansteorra. I
had a heavy heart when I broke the news to them that I thought this person
to be the one and same. I can also say that they were taking
good care of her bodily wise but the affliction that has overcome her mind is I
think beyond her fathers great skill to cure.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>She stated that evening when I asked why she would
do such a thing that she drank with a black cloaked "cutie" and
other witnesses that attended the Am Loch event have stated
to me that her claim is truthful in that she did drink a
concoction that was given to her by a mysterious black cloaked individual
and there-after she did make an attempt on the good Baron life.
I think that their must be a connection between the mysterious drink
given to her and the actions that happened afterwards. I was hoping that
she would have had this toxic substance out of her body by now, and so she
would then come to see the wrong she had done to the good Baron Kainin when this
toxin had run it course and she would then feel the remorse that such
actions should cause to a normal minded person. </FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>However it has come apparent to me that the lizard
faced Ruspoli has had something to do with the drink she took that eve and
so he was able to more easily alter her weakened mind on where her loyalty
lies. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now for those that do not know Elizabeth
it should be made aware that she is a member of your large shall I say -
Gender Specific Household - so the outright "capture" of her would cause
problems for those that should attempt to lay hands and or chains to
her. I fear that what this individual has done to her mind is as
great if not a greater wrong to a member of your household. That is
for you to determine. But I have a solution that may be agreeable to
you and to all others concerning Lady Elizabeth until her actions can be brought
before the King to settle on the matter of her alligence to the tratior Ruspoli
when she is in her right mind again. As for Ruspoli I believe their will
be a need for several horses, lots of rope, plenty of sharp blades, and a
large fire to finally show him the errors of his ways here in the western
region. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hopefully their stellar Majesties will
find the wisdom of Solomon himself in handling this matter of what should become
her but in </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>the meantime as you know
there is a large monastary just north of the Crossrodes that has taken on
the duties of helping those afflicted with the maladies of the
brain. </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2> It would be a suitable place
to temporarly house Elizabeth and she could then receive the help she needs
from the good nuns and monks that work and live their. Then her
parents could be able to receive a good nights sleep as the howls she makes at
night will not reach them <FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>and she would be
not able to hurt herself or others</FONT></FONT></DIV>

the university who know of the most current cures, as well as, the wise
women with their herbs and tonics. Hopefully we will be able to extract,
wring, sweat, bleed the devils out of you. Or perhaps, we should bring
the Cardinal and Monks and the Nuns of the Holy Order of St. John's Wort to
pray the devils out of you. Yes, yes, I can see it now - a grand and
Holy exorcism would do you a world of good. Fear not young Amazon

<DIV> My dear lady, you must not know me very well. There are
many men in this region I call cuties. This does not mean that I am
interested in him, or that he is interested in me, only that his looks are
to be admired. As far as my loyalty to Ruspoli's army is conserned,
why would I betray him? If I switch sides now, or ever, I would be in
no man's land. The Baron's men would be after me, as would
Ruspoli's. I would have no place of sanctuary. This alliance is
for my protection as well as for the cause. Also, Remeber this: The
cutie I was referring to was only one of Ruspoli's supporters, not our dear
Captain himself. I have no Lord in my life to tell me what to do, nor
do I have need of one. This will be my last post conserning the
issue. My true intention was only to let it be known by all that I am
not on Baron Kianin's side and to let him know I know the whole truth,
Captain Ruspoli is just too honor! </DIV>able to
<DIV></DIV>totally bash Baron Kianin.

<DIV>Greetings,</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV> I am sicked to believe that I once helped a woman as black as
Elizabeth. But I am wondering... You continue to call him "The cutie in
the black cloak." Is this your way of admitting that you are his lady of
choice? If so, your tyrannious ways will soon be apparent even to him. You
left the barony's side even after MANY proclamations of loyalty. Soon,
you, being of a treacherous nature (we all know that once a traitor,
always one), will go against him. And in that prove how much of a liar you
really are. The heads of soldiers... What a pity it is that we wasted such
time on such ignorance. Baron Kainan has always been a friend of my father
for many years. He is kind and generous. He is honest in all things.
I've never seen or heard him lie in all of my years. If he
gives his word, it is KEPT. So be warned, all you of blackened hearts, my
dagger will find you. I am not a fighter, but I will back my Baron and my
Liege. May God have mercy on your t! </DIV>! raitor
<DIV></DIV>souls.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Baron Kainan,</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>I send my loyalties and allegiance to you and your Lady. I hope that
I can be of use. And know this. The children of Ansteorra will not be
harmed in any way while I am alive to provent it.</DIV>
