The Kingdom of Daventry; Tuesday [05/07] - Day TWO of the Tournament of Knights!

[pun_king]

Good morning! It's another beautiful day in Daventry, a day where the brilliant color of the sunrise across the sky is as rich and colorful as the trees that spread across the valley. Hopefully, no one else had their beds mysteriously stolen in the middle of the night! It's a big day for our small cadre of Hopeful Knights--the bold and braggadocios ~Whisper~, the small and scheming Manny, big and brash Acorn, mysterious and menacing Achaka, and, of course, Graham, who was honestly just happy to be there--as they seek out their true test of worth to be considered for the Daventry Guard: the eye of a hideous beast! Will they be able to obtain such a prize by the deadline? Only time will tell, and they'll likely be hard at work accomplishing their goal!

As for everyone else? Well, you've got a day of either helping, hindering, or just enjoying Daventry at this time of year! Be cautious, though! With the bridges out, there's plenty of wetzel wolves in a frenzy around the woods, unable to migrate to Serenia as they would like to, and, with the bridges out, travel around the realm is a bit restricted, too. It doesn't help that even the Fantastical Floating Island, one of Daventry's top billed tourist attractions, is closed for the day in preparation for one of the events tomorrow! But there's still good friends, beautiful vistas, and fun to be had in the Kingdom of Daventry.

Adventure is, after all, where you find it!

[[ and, of course, for all those in Daventry with him, NFB for distance, and with the usual OCD! ]]

"What the fuck?" Arden said. "How did you--where did that--?" And then she sighed. Questions later, action now, an order of operations that had never turned out poorly in the history of ever.

So, three problems:
1) Triumph was trapped;
2) Once he was freed, he'd need to get down;
3) To be at all helpful, she'd need to get up there.
3.5) Once she was up there, she'd also need to get down.

She eyed the tree, trying to discern how climbable it was. She didn't have a lot of experience climbing trees, but so long as it had pretty evenly spaced branches, she should be able to do it, right? And Triumph being held up there meant those branches would be able to support her weight...

Hiking her skirt up even higher, Arden began trying to climb. "Just hang on, Triumph!" she called. "Which--okay! Poor choice of words! But I'm coming up to help!"
