Joan of Arc

"Rubbish! The king will need to be convinced that..."

Fred - or rather, Joan shook her head. "The king will have the Bishop verify my claim. And once he determines I am lying, he will have me executed. More importantly," she said, softly but with conviction, "I will not - I dare not claim such a thing when it is patently untrue."

Belboz made a sound of frustration. "Fine, fine," he said crossly. "That's the problem with you knights - your scruples are quite inconvenient at times!"

"Which leaves us with how to convince the king to listen to me," Joan said glumly.

Belboz conidered it for a moment, then snapped his fingers. "Of course! I have just the thing! Now where did I put that..." He began rummaging through several piles of objects. "A-ha! Here! I wager the king will believe you one you show him this!!" Belboz held out a hand containing...

1. A necklace with a pure crystal miniature sword attached to it.
2. A sealed scroll.
3. A small silver statue of a winged woman.
4. A bronze plaque with a single word inscribed on it.
