Gloriana - Dangerous
A small taste of how Nell's book might be...
Family Secrets
by Sandeli Foxglove
Act I
Prologue
Enter Chorus
Chorus
Old forces of great strength, long forgotten,
In fair Perrenland, where we lay our scene,
From ancient halls beneath the ground, begotten,
Awful monsters with intentions unclean.
Opposed only by heroes by chance,
Sandeli, a lady lost at young age,
Honeypot the faun, who loves to dance,
Velicia of the eladrin, a swordmage,
Dorothea star-touched and strange of mind,
Last of them, but foremost in battle,
Nathaniel Deverin the fighter refined,
But on characters, lets not prattle.
O, pardon! since a crooked figure may
Attest in little place a giant;
A few men, green in face, may portray
A whole hoard of goblins, defiant.
Suppose within the girdle of these walls
Are now confined, cities and halls below ground,
Where our heroes' struggles and their calls,
bouncing from wall to wall, loudly sound.
Think when we talk of horses, that you see the steeds,
Printing their proud hoofs i' the receiving dirt;
For 'tis your thoughts that now must deck our heroes' needs,
Carry them here and there; jumping o'er time, overt,
Turning the accomplishment of years
Into an hour-glass, solving many a mystery.
So now my audience, you may without fears
Admit me Chorus to this history;
Who prologue-like your humble patience pray,
Gently to hear, kindly to judge, our play.
Exit
Scene I. Sandpoint. A square in front of cathedral.
Sandeli, Nathaniel Deverin, Dorothea Caiphon, Mayor Deverin and Attendants
Mayor
Holds speech of feast for new cathedral ...
Enter Velicia.
Velicia
Dear Sandeli, I find thee here at the food tables. Have you not eaten yet? or is the question more correctly put thus; Is there still food left?
Sandeli
Velicia, friend and teacher, you know me and so do I you. It is no mere coincidence that we meet here. There are many dishes left and now that you are here we will this amend.
Enter Honeypot dancing and playing flute.
Velicia
Look! I know this faun. Honeypot! Over here!
Sandlei
A faun? Known for their drink as well as their music. Though I know of them I have yet to meet one. I shall keep my purse close.
Velicia
This one is of exceptional virtue.
She has none of the treachery that stain their reputation.
Here she comes now.
My most dear Honeypot! What's the news with you?
Honeypot
My excellent good friend! How dost thou, Velicia? and who is your friend?
Velicia
I fare well indeed. And this is Sandeli, a student of mine in matters of scribing.
Sandeli
Aye! I fill papers with ink and have yet to write, not to the fault of my teacher.
Honeypot
...
Velicia
But, what is this I hear stirring? Look! Goblins!
Enter Goblins.
Nathaniel
To Arms! To Arms! Citizens, defend yourselves or flee!

Attendants flee.

Dorothea
Something weird
They fight.
The goblins die or flee.

Well have you done, but all's not done. The foul creatures came from the direction of the gate. It must be held. Make haste, go hence and look to it, brave heroes.
Exeunt
Scene II. The gate and nearby graveyard.
Enter Sandeli, Nathaniel, Honeypot, Velicia, Dorothea
Velicia
The gate is safe. We were not too late.
Nathaniel
This is good news. Without this gate the town lays open for attack. There are several goblin tribes in forests about this town, and though they have not attacked, it is but a real threat that hangs upon our shoulders, like the ???
Sandeli
Joke ??? But be still! All is not well. Something's stirring. There are goblins in the graveyard!
Enter goblins.
Nathaniel
Alas! The goblins do dark deeds, indeed. They do not even leave the dead alone in their eternal sleep.
They fight.
Velicia
Casting magic
Sandeli
I will challenge thee big foul goblin. As big as you are among your people, You are still less than me.
They fight.
Sandeli kills Goblin but is wounded.
Honeypot
Let me dress your wounds and cheer you up with music.
Nathaniel
The goblins are trying to steal something. Nay! I shall thwart their unsavory plans.
They fight.
Goblins drop bag.
Sandeli
Honeypot
There are great many goblins outside. A whole tribe in the least. I think we need a trick.
Nathaniel
Be cunning in the working this, and we will be saved. Else we are in great peril.
Honeypot
Sandeli, hand me that sack hanging by the shovel. Dorothea, give me some of those

[to Nathaniel]There he lay on the floor of the wretched cave, his expensive clothes torn, soaked in his own blood. He was all but dead, when words left his broken lips.
