The Castle of Goodriches

**Captain Blackadder** · July 22, 2008, 05:38 AM

Swidhelm walks around his castle walls marvelling at what he has accomplished in his few years on the earth.

He walks into his great hall and looks up at his portrait

Swindhelm smiles and waits for visitors.

Sir Andrew Knocks on the door hoping to see the interior of Swindhelm's Castle.

**Captain Blackadder** · July 22, 2008, 07:45 AM

Hail my liege Andrew ruler of our territories in France welcome to my humble castle I am afraid I will not be able to keep you in the fashion a man of your stature deserves. For I am a simple man of simple taste but I do have some of the best boar in all of the land.

Do you have any word from our king since you are in his consul? How goes his mind?

**Watercress** · July 22, 2008, 10:16 AM

Knock knock! in comes me. hmm, very nice castle.

oh yeah, i forgot to say, the king is going to york.

**Evolution** · July 22, 2008, 07:18 PM

The best Boar you say? hmm, that would be must excellent if you were to say... hold a great banquet in the name of our Kings victory at York.

I must say is that portrait of top craftsman ship? Who painted it?

**Captain Blackadder** · July 22, 2008, 07:47 PM

Come in my fellow Lords and freemen eat eat and enjoy the fruits of our labour

Here is the greatest boar in the kingdom and this is food that is fit for the king should he come to sample my hospitality.

Lets us all drink to the Health of the King

Swindhelm raises his mug
All hail the king conqueror of the York's scourger of the Saxons and soon to be destroyer of the welsh true ruler of all the lands as far as the the eye can see. We your loyal subjects salute you.

**Evolution** · July 24, 2008, 08:19 AM

Andrew agrees shouting cheers whilst nibbling on the boars ear.

Andrew looks across the table and notices a monk wearing his hood and says "Dear monk may I call you a hoodie?", the monk frowns and continues to eat the boars tongue quietly. "Swindhelm I must say, these vegetables are simply divine" says Andrew with his mouth full.

"What do you think of the Scots? and how should we deal with them?" asks Andrew.

**Captain Blackadder** · July 24, 2008, 08:24 AM

The Scots are a strange race they need to be conquered first in my mind since if we do not we will always have to look over our shoulders every time that we leave our Castles for fear that those dastardly scots will try and take our lands.

**Evolution** · July 24, 2008, 08:45 AM

hmm, yes I have to agree. The Scots shalln't be to happy with us because they too wanted York. They are proberly mobilizing their armies to go capture it. As if barbarians could match us pff

**Watercress** · July 24, 2008, 09:34 AM

hey, can i come in and sit down? (licks lips as i look at boar)

**Captain Blackadder** · July 24, 2008, 09:57 AM

Come in fellow lord enjoy the pheasant it is fantastic this time of year. Infact latter after dinner do you all want to go hunting my good friend Walter Tyrell is an excellent hunter.

**Evolution** · July 24, 2008, 10:11 AM

aha, Hunting would be an unmissable event. Would happen to have a spare bow I may use?

**Captain Blackadder** · July 24, 2008, 10:24 AM

here you go a box and two arrows I will have four for it is only right that the sharpest be given to the man who knows how to shoot the deadliest shots.

Let us go bag a stag.

**Watercress** · July 24, 2008, 03:44 PM

hunting? thats my favourite pastime! lets go! *runs off to the hunting grounds*

**Captain Blackadder** · July 24, 2008, 07:37 PM

Look over there a stag get after it Sir Andrew and Henry I'll go the other way with Walter.

**Captain Blackadder** · August 10, 2008, 07:14 PM

A Sign is Placed onto the Walls of the Castle

Sir Goodrich is no longer present at this castle he is touring the country looking for a wife if you have any business with him please leave a message with the steward.

**Desperado †** · August 11, 2008, 07:34 AM

Caradog comes up to the castle gate.

You say the King is away, looking for a wife? Well I was just passing buy....Tell him that if he does find one she may be married in the Church of St Mary's, or if it is completed by then, the St George's Cathedral. Thereason I came buy was because I recognised the highest flag, that of Holy St George, but what is that second one. Is it not that of Lord English Heritage? Why does it fly on his castle? I hope to come by some time again, good Steward. The ties between clergy and Knights do thin these days, and I must do all I can to strengthen them.

Caradog rides off.
