The BetterMan Knights, as they were notified, straggled into Nikki's Brothel as a meeting place. This took a few hours as the Knights had been scattered throughout the kingdom. They chose Nikki's because this was the last place Sir Stud had been seen.

Nikki had closed the bar and asked the patrons to go to another part of the brothel. When everyone had gathered, Sir Sonic stood and said, "As you have heard Brother Knights, Sir Stud has been abducted, according to the man I shall introduce as Timothy, he was the last to see Sir Stud. If you please Timothy, tell us what you saw in every detail."

Timothy stood, looked at the Knights sitting at various tables, and said, "I had stopped by Nikki's earlier in the day to have a few drinks and one of Nikki's famous steaks, I was sitting, eating when Sir Stud and Miss Betsy descended the stairs and seated themselves at that table," pointing to a table behind Sir Uberschwanz. "I didn't pay much attention, as I was just finishing eating and decided to have another drink. I did notice though, that when Sir Stud got ready to leave, he stood and gave Miss Betsy a kiss and left through that door," pointing at the front door. "I finished my drink, paid my bill and followed very shortly there after."
Timothy was enjoying the spotlight and the BetterMan Knights hanging on his every word. He puffed up a little and said, "When I got outside, I saw two men throw Sir Stud into the back of a wagon, with a third man at the reins. I thought at first that they were friends of Sir Stud and that he had gotten so drunk that he couldn't ride because he appeared to have passed out. Then I realized that he had been walking fine when he left, so I figured something was amiss and came back in and told Miss Betsy what I had observed. Miss Betsy gave me five gold coins to ride to the castle and inform the BetterMan Knights of what I had seen. This is all I know, " and sat down.

Sir Sonic said, "Even though Miss Betsy was so distraught that she had to leave to go home, she told me that she had run to the door at this news, just in time to see the wagon disappear down the road in a Southerly direction. I was the first to arrive here at Nikki's and Sir 10 and Sir Loki came a few minutes later.

We examined the site and found where Sir Stud had been dragged to the wagon and a few spots of blood. We walked the road for a ways, but this road is heavily traveled and it was difficult to tell which wagon made the tracks." Sir Sonic continued, "Sir Stud had an altercation earlier with a man called Lars, I intervened and the man left. Miss Betsy said, that she had never seen the man in here before and when his description was given to Nikki, she said she didn't know him either. So we must go on the assumption that the man called Lars is behind this abduction."

At this, Nikki stood and said, "As y'all know, I love Sir Stud as a brother and I am very upset at this development. I am offering a reward of 500 gold coins for any information leading to the whereabouts of Sir Stud.
I have asked my patrons to spread this news in the hamlet of Holster in the hopes that someone might know something."
