I'm among the bravest in the face of even officers with weapons but I due to the current status of our government on hold, have had to pick myself up after a forceful charge only to have disheveled my tactics and thrown things out of sorts.
I needed a better approach, they never listen to peasants pounding on the castle gates. But even the enemy of a noble if acting in nobility will be greeted, met, and heard, unlike the peasant.
I decided to go right to just learning the affidavit process correctly, as it is polite to offer involvement but they aren't even required if they'd like to ignore your documents.
It's these damned documents and incantations! I had to stash my shield and sword and don the wizard's robes for a battle of spells and recited scrolls in a heated gentleman's duel of deception magic.
