Ascension: Sword and Sorcery

"To unite the 5 Races." Robert speaks steadfast. An aura envelops him as a...sort of energy resonates in his voice. Lesser men (or women) would be entirely enraptured by his tone, willing to give up anything and everything to Robert, but the King is not a lesser man.

The King stares at Robert, flabbergasted, looking for an answer. Finally he cracks and his eyes close and his mouth opens wide.

"Ohohohohoho!" The King laughs jovially. "Such zeal! Such determination! I admire you young man, even if your goal is unattainable." He stops to catch his breath and steel himself, acting once more like the professional and royal monarch he was before Robert's answer. "Unfortunately, that is beyond my scope as King...and far beyond my power. But I know of someone, another...visionary who might be able to help you. Should I point you to her?"

[] Of Course. Get Directions and a Royal Mandate/Seal
[] No, Robert will do this on his own.

"Her name is Lady Ida." Relays the King as he hands Robert a map with explicit directions. "She lives on the far outskirts of the royal city and I've been told that she too had such impossible goals." Robert nods as he takes the paper and gives it a one over.

"Thank you, your majesty." Robert replies with a bow, causing the King to smile slightly.

"Of course. Be...very careful young man. Lady Ida suffers no fools. Besides herself of course." The King adds with a playful smirk.

"I will be, thank you." The King's expression suddenly shifts to an alarmed look as Robert walks out of the palace.

"Don't tell her I said that!" He yells after Robert in a panicked voice, unsure if the clearly insane young man heard him or not.


Robert bows to the royal guards as the palace, and then carefully navigates through the royal city until he comes to the royal gates. Normally, one would give a reason for leaving, but Robert had the official signature of the King. One flash of that, and he's out and ready to go. Following the map, Robert heads north and west, hoping to find a willing ally in his life's work.

It's a fairly peaceful walk, given the proximity of the royal city. Due to constant patrols, there's almost no sign of dangerous wildlife, and certainly no foreign hostile agents. At least, not any that one can see.

When Robert is around 90% of the way, not a mile out from the 'X' on the map, he runs into a woman who one would assume is Lady Ida. She has dark brown skin, long black hair that's braided four ways, and is dressed in long green and white robes. She's clearly older, but only appears to be around middle-aged, and she has a serious look on her face.

What does Robert do?
[] Watch her from afar
[] Approach her
[] Continue his way to her house. That is where the King told him to go.
[] Call out to her
[] Turn Back, She's too serious for him
