What about you, my good man?”</span> <span class="mu-i">“Meself?

No, a big strong lad like you? Maybe done a stint in the local levies, mayhap a man-at-arms once upon a time for a lord far afield.

Blade for hire, if the pay were right! Big strong hands. Just the right size for grasping a tankard.”</span> The bard winks slyly. <span class="mu-i">“Or a battleaxe.”</span> The inkeep doesn’t pause from his duties, but the thud of the tankard on the bar is enough to make the minstrel hold his tongue. Not harsh, just a little heavier than entirely necessary. <span class="mu-i">“Oh. The intrigue...”</span> There’s no malice in the look, the brief glance and furrow of the innkeeps eyebrow as he turns away. But the bard has seen that look before. It’s the same kind of look that one might see in an old wardog napping by the fire.

>Sir Robert Gilbern, the calculating Second Herald of the Ordo Reginate <span class="mu-s">Sendag, 14th Day of Bacrimun, 883 A.C.E., Afternoon – Port Bounty</span>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMbbbopeVfc – Queensmen theme (kudos to the anon that remembered)Sir Robert Gilbern was tired. The black sheep of the powerful House Pascae and Second Herald to Her Majesty the Queen had seldom experienced such sleepless nights throughout his years of intrigue both at Court and abroad. He regarded his fellow Heralds seated around the table in this cloistered sideroom with patient, albeit slightly sunken, eyes.
<span class="mu-i">“I have spoken with specialists in this area, lawyers and academics of the like. Bookish men but experts on such legal quandaries as this. They have advised that the privileges awarded to our Order under Church Law grant us extensive exemptions to the rule of law both domestic and country-wide across Cantôn. However, it does not go so far as to granting us explicit authority over other Church organisations.”</span> Sir Gilbern paused at the snort of derision from Sir Montesquieu, First Herald and most favoured of the Queen. While Sir Gilbern understood him as a creature, a man that would rarely opt for subtlety where brutal simplicity might suffice, his position as first among equals in the Queen’s Heralds did sometimes give Sir Gilbern pause. Doubtless the Queen understood a man like Montesquieu was sometimes what the realm needed. It was hardly as though Sir Gilbern’s own hands were without blemish, that they were measures of last resort afforded scant exoneration. Sir Gilbern continued. <span class="mu-i">“The Praetors themselves have no hold over us, except in the most specific of circumstances. But, alas, we ourselves have no legal authority to demand Primus Holt turn over the investigation and its findings thus far to us. Even a writ from the Queen purporting to authorise as much would be bogged down in this Duchy’s legal system, perhaps for years if our opponents were to fund it’s opposition. Which they would be mad not to.”</span>
<span class="mu-i">“Damn this. That foppish ninny of a Duke has been content to play coy with his allegiances for years now. At least this will get him off his cushioned arse.”</span> Sir Montesquieu's distaste for the Duke Pascae and his preferences was well known among the Heralds, although he was nothing but the friendliest of friends when meeting the nobleman in person. <span class="mu-i">“This disruption of the local power base could serve us still. Taking over the investigation would have let us root out the disloyal as we see fit, and position our own supporters in the Duke’s circle accordingly. Now… Might as well predict where a leaf will fall in a maelstrom. And the fool knight who helped start this whole mess… He’s long gone, is he?”</span>
<span class="mu-i">“Cathagi. On pilgrimage, in fact.”</span> Sir Gilbern keeps his voice carefully neutral. It never served to let personal feelings leak out in these discussions.

Forgotten QM !!cRQ2bB+8b3B ID:FspOUgVk Mon 29 Aug 2022 12:51:50 No. 5387431 Report <span class="mu-i">“A likely story.”</span> Sir Montesquieu snorts. <span class="mu-i">“And now that brother of his is back in the public eye. Too high profile to move against without significant cause. The Andrei’s in general are proving to be a disturbance, if they’ve engineered this in the midst of the struggle with the Faction… Perhaps it may behove us to remove a few more members from the board, much as we did with the Hewitts.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“I would caution against it. We may have a potential ally in the House Andrei.”</span> Sir Gilbern knew full well that the pious Sir Andrei had been set on this pilgrimage far before any of this arose, but instead of disabusing the First Herald of the notion that the pilgrimage was a mere smokescreen he focused on his more practical points. <span class="mu-i">“And I know the Third Herald will vouch for the safety of this younger brother Emile, at any rate.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“I will?”</span> Lord Kasper Alexandi blinked, perhaps forgetting the fact that he was typically the Herald most set against cold-blooded murder by default. Mater Reginae loved Lord Alexandi for his many virtues, but pragmatism not being chief amongst them moderated his rank despite his comparatively high noble station. <span class="mu-i">“I mean, of course I will. Downright unchivalrous to do otherwise. But Rob, my boy… why him specifically?”</span> <span class="mu-i">“I have my reasons. Not least of which being that we now have in inside ear in the Dragon Guard.”</span> That gets the First Herald’s attention, but Sir Gilbern kept his attention on the bemused expression of Lord Alexandi. A part of him had been looking forward to this. <span class="mu-i">“As for you. Kasper. I should hope you’d not gainsay his wellbeing. Seeing as you’ve already spared the man once before.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“…He’s not…”</span> The Third Herald appears entirely nonplussed, but the First is quicker to connect the dots. <span class="mu-i">“Cain on the Cross, the mystery knight from the ruins?”</span> <span class="mu-i">“Oh. OH! The big lad with the bear sigil and… yes, he did have a chain on his heraldry now I recall. I thought it a mere coincidence at the time, but…yes they were about the same size and the voice... Andrei, was it?”</span> Lord Alexandi thumps the table with his fist several times, shaking with mirth. <span class="mu-i"> “HAHAHAHA!! That young buck! I knew I liked him! Oh you most definitely have my vote, Rob.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“How in name of the Almighty can you possibly hold that he is not in league with the Faction?”</span> Sir Montesquieu blusters, still disbelieving. <span class="mu-i">“He swore on his honour that he was no friend of theirs!”</span> Lord Alexandi dismisses his fellow Herald’s concern with a wave. <span class="mu-i">“Swore it!”</span> [2/5]

<span class="mu-i">“You saw him there, at the very heart of the conspiracy!”</span> Sir Montesquie looks at the Third Herald as a man would regard a village idiot. Surprised at the extent of the stupidity, if not the presence of it.<span class="mu-i">“Of course he would swear off involvement to save his own hide!”</span> <span class="mu-i">“Ah! -And- after I saw him perform the single greatest deed of arms my eyes have had the honour of beholding in all my years on the tourney and battlefields.”</span> Lord Alexandi hesitates, perhaps recalling the horror of that madness all too vividly for a moment, but then he rallies. <span class="mu-i">“And yes, I am including Sir Brockland the Stone finishing a wyvern off with his bare hands in that list. No, I am sure of it. No man capable of such a feat could lie to a fellow knight to save his own skin in the wake of such glory. Sorry, Monty. The Andrei lad is off limits.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“Well, we have long sought to revive our Cathagi network. A source within the Dragon Guard could prove instrumental.”</span> Sir Montesquieu’s narrowed eyebrows suggested that the First Herald was far from convinced by Lord Alexandi’s vote of confidence, but the potential intel was a prize not easily cast aside. <span class="mu-i">“Sir Gilbern. This Andrei boy will deliver?”</span> A difficult question. Sir Gilbern was still not entirely certain whether Sir Emile Andrei was indeed a friend and merely caught up in one political tempest after another, or a duplicitous turncoat playing his own game with deviously well disguised designs. Time would tell. His gut told him that the honest Romani knight would make a poor spy, but if nothing else Sir Andrei had never failed thus far to surprise him just when he thought he had the measure of the man. It was one of the chief reasons Sir Gilbern wasn’t getting much good sleep these days. <span class="mu-i">“I have the utmost confidence in him.”</span> That was laying it on a little thick, but for now Sir Gilbern knew he could not betray even the slightest hesitation lest the First Herald more seriously consider one of his… direct solutions. Sir Gilbern looks carefully at the expressions of each of his fellows before continuing. <span class="mu-i">“That’s settled then. What other business?”</span> <span class="mu-i">“As tenuous as the situation in Port Bounty stands, we cannot all remain here.”</span> Sir Montesquieu could be a brutal man, but he was also a prudent one. He knew when and were to pick his battles. <span class="mu-i">“The realm remains in peril.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“When is it not?”</span> Sir Gilbern remarks wryly, but the others nod seriously as if missing the joke. Perhaps even Sir Gilbern was finding less humour in the observation as of late. [3/5]

<span class="mu-i">“Montbrun.”</span> Lord Alexandi grunts. <span class="mu-i">“Don’t need the Fae Eye to see trouble brewing there.”</span> News had been slow coming this far east, but reports had been trickling through of Wastelander refugees and alarming numbers of Snakemen incursions in the Montbrun mountain ranges. And now the confirmation that Grandmaster Godric St. John of the Broken Blade had fallen in battle against a sizeable Scaled Horde force. The extent of casualties was unclear but the Cainite Order was by all accounts still embroiled in skirmishes in the Wastelands, but slowly being pushed back to the mountains themselves. <span class="mu-i">“Duke Montbrun can hang for all I care, we know him to be the lackey of the Faction or at least a major supporter. These Snakemen troubles serve our interests, for now at least.”</span> The First Herald regards the disapproval of his fellows at his callousness without flinching. <span class="mu-i">“Harsh words for our loyal countrymen in those parts, I know. But the Torwatcher Gates have never fallen to an outside enemy in our nation’s history. If the threat should truly escalate, they will hold. And while Montbrun holds, those Faction members are distracted and unable to seriously interfere with Her Majesty’s wishes.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“Does Her Majesty not wish for peace in all her realms?”</span> Sir Gilbern scratches his chin, hiding how the First Herald’s lack of foresight bites at him. <span class="mu-i">“Hear, hear!”</span> Lord Alexandi nods. <span class="mu-i">“Mater Reginae, I thank the Almighty for the pleasure of being in her service every day, has nothing but love for her people in every Duchy. Even gap-toothed hillmen.”</span> [4/5]

Merely that our focus there should be on staving off the machinations of the Duke and his Faction supporters rather than us seeking open battle with the Snakemen. Keep the men of that Duchy focused on the enemy at the gates, as it should be.”</span> For a brief moment, Sir Montesquieu looks just as tired Sir Gilbern feels. He covers it up well, typically with anger or scorn, but he had never given the others genuine reason to doubt that he was the Queen’s Man. The one who got it done, however dirty and unpleasant ‘it’ might be. <span class="mu-i">“There are too few of us that know how tenuous the peace of the realm rests at the moment. We cannot answer every threat in half the force we would wish. Like too little butter over too much bread, we are spread thin. The Crown Prince has returned to Aubrey, and he cannot be left to tend his garden of weeds there without a watchful eye upon him.”</span> As much as Sir Robert Gilbern could find himself at times hating the First Herald, he rarely hated him more than when he was entirely correct. Pascae, Aubres and Montbrun. Three Duchies in potential crisis, and but three Heralds to address them. ====================================================> Mismanaged, the tenuous situation in Port Bounty could quickly erupt into something more serious.

The mountain folk seem confident in their ability to repel this latest threat, but if a more united response is required you will be the foremost eyes and ears on the ground.

[Taciturn] > The Crown Prince cannot be allowed to lay thick his plots without obstacle, you trust only yourself to keep a careful enough watch on him at Court.

Personally really torn but with his own father in scandal after recent events at the Ball this might be a good chance for Robert to get his House and Duchy in order for Her Majesty.

[Cynic] I imagine there would be no small amount of personal pleasure in rooting out the mess of copperclippers connected his dear father in Pascae but Gilbern is well aware that he is probably the best rational counterweight in the Queensmen for the mad dog and if it means attending court in Aubrey so be it.
And well the Tor gates stand between any significant Snakemen force and the interior of Canton/Montbrun afterall and their is no way they could ever breach it...

The First Herald is by no means stupid and text has shown he can be subtle, but he also demonstrated too much scorn for the copper-clippers to be effective.
No, better to let him be in Aubres and weed out the Prince's plans. He has the disposition towards intrigue and heavy-handed approach necessary to avoid that a Son of Sin's influence gets out of control.
Alexandi should go to Montbrun because holy shit it seems like a vacation to him.

[Cynic] The Praetors should be able to handle Pascae, or at least stop it from getting worse.
The Montbrun should at the very least be able to hold the snakemen at bay for a time, and if the situation's trajectory becomes dire, the influence we have in court should make it easier to rally additional troops.
Sometimes the best we can do is counter our opposite number and have faith in others to prevail.

[Cynic] I'm really torn between Aubrey and Pascae but I believe Robby here will be the best guy to curtail the Prince without ruffling too many feathers. And I want him to be the one whispering into the Queen's ear, not Monty here. Besides, while Pascae is turning into quite the shithouse and it's getting convoluted, Monty's direct methods just might be the sword that cuts the Gordian knot.

The pain passes as swiftly as it came... momentarily flaming hot and then soothingly cool. Like that night above the cliffs, amidst thunder and rain. Your companions regard you with concern, even Fabio the Elder seems to have noticed your half-stumble. None of them seem to have heard the thunderous whisper echoing in your ears, though you have come to expect that at least. <span class="mu-i">“The Admiral.

There is much talk now of engaging with many Free Companies, the Bastards of Lys and Axemen of Lorne chief among them. But Moretti does not speak of war with your countrymen. In fact much the opposite, he calls for closer ties with Pascae specifically yes, but also with the other Duchies. ‘A seat at the table, and a hand on the wheel’ he says this twice. Ah, now Romano Giorgio interrupts. He is Third Admiral, that man there. This is not surprising. The Giorgios and Moretti’s are well know as rivals to one another.”</span> Another nobly dressed man steps forward, you gather the platform is restricted to recognised captains alone. Fabio continues to translate both sides of what appears to be turning into a vicious debate. <span class="mu-i">“He claims Moretti would surrender our independence for scraps from the Cantôn table. Why entertain this upcoming joint anti-piracy treaty with Pascae, Cantôn’s navy has been the lesser to ours for all living memory and this is not like to change soon due to a meagre rise in lumber prices. Giorgio claims we are free to dictate our own terms with the eastern god-botherers, but at the end of a blade if need be. He speaks of a tariff on all ships passing through Langlish waters, to fund our own expenses in keeping the trade routes free pirates.

Behind them their grey-clothed charges in the stands huddle and mutter furiously with one another in small groups, at times gesticulating wildly at the debaters still remaining on the stage. Of those all arguing with one another and not ones voice carries to you above the chaos of the crowd. It certainly seems as though the Seventh Admiral has thrown a cat amongst the pigeons. Fabio the Elder shrugs helplessly as the noise escalates to such a degree that picking out any single voice in the debaters in the College of Admirals is a fruitless endeavour. You struggle to collect your own thoughts in the madness of the crowd. Mikail and Jess, perhaps sensing your distress, elbow and shove other attendants out of the way and eventually clear a path to the edge of the plaza. There you finally catch a moment's peace.

(Praetor-in-Training) I am sort of torn. The prince is properly gathering power, drawing the langlish deeper into the cantonese sphere of influence. Proper centralisation and utilisation of this and traditional cantonese powress can pay massive dividends towards the betterment of the realm and perhaps expansion and taming of external enemies, perhaps even freeing enough manpower to forge a royal campaign to reclaim the Ardenne.

The Crown Prince is perhaps our most dangerous foe if left unchecked and we also cannot directly move against him, especially in Cànton. This is our best way of throwing a wrench in his plans even if it might draw his ire. The good of the country may well depend on us and as CAPTAIN CANTON we can't let this stand.

I would love to further investigate the connection here, but we lack the time or resources for it. We have troubles in intrigue in our own country, let alone in a country with a foreign tongue and layers upon layers of skulduggery. BUT, I would like to visit the Order of Trident chapter. There we could feel out the political leanings of the members and maybe even find an ally in this land. If we truly do find someone like that, maybe even an Reginate associate, we could reveal this major tidbit and have them investigate on their own. That should make Robby boy happy and keep the Prince's ambitions in check, for now.

We could mention the angel while being oblique about it. Don't need to explain divine intervention to Sir Gilbern. Could even explicitly write something like "[...]. I met an angel in Langland! She mentioned in passing that the prince and [the admiral] are working towards a common goal. Due to her status and the nature of our meeting I have little doubt to the truthfulness of the statement." Tell the explicit truth while implying something else. Would have the added benefit of further trolling him when we eventually make it clear to him that we meant it literally.

I wouldn't mind including such a phrase in any letter to him where we get a clue from the angel. It's his own fault if he thinks us a womanizer.

On one hand, Emile should be following up on any possible leads with regards to what the prince is up to. It seems like the Angel is prodding him in that direction. Plus, we did pay for the interpreter, we should utilize him
On the other hand, do we really want to potentially spend more time here? Will the ship even wait for us?

I'm re-reading the archive and I just had a thought. If the Sons of Sin gained eternal life by entering a pact with Below can we potentially enter a pact with Above or the Fae? I personally like the fae and considering our positive interactions with them, Makes Fools of All, and our prior instance of seeing a side of the fae that mortal men have probably not seen before, they are our best avenue to gaining the powers necessary to combat the sons of sins. Really I just want us to be able to1v1 a son of sin and win. TLDR Demon powers are cheating and Fae powers will level the playing field.

Who said anything about worship? We are Sworn to Valour and our Faith upholds the weak. All I'm saying is we can probably more easily gain secrets, weapons, or boons (evidenced by the fae market containing the secrets of crater back home, lore on the sons of sin, and fae magics which are probably way safer to use than any other forms of magic out there). That or more allies in the fight that are not sworn to the throne. Lastly, no one would ever suspect us and we are already guilty of harboring and abetting the Wild all I'm saying is lets see what we can gain.

regarding the dukes we know they each have their own issues, Montbrun is suffering its own crisis of authority and seems geared towards both an external and internal conflict and its dire enough for the Duke to be resorting to slavery to fund things, Fallavon is perpetually fighting the wilds and outlaws that inhabit the deeper woods and the bluejays seem to be well established with the backing of the Fey as patrons.
we know well Romanie has its problems with the Deadmen and its lowkey a source of Impoverishment for the duchy as it requires constant vigilance.
Aubrey and Pascae are harder to peg for longstanding issues as the two seem largely peaceful and prosperous enough but in fairness Aubrey is the crowns own duchy.

>>5389083 I would argue that slavery is indeed more different from serfdom. While the serf has many obligations that limit his rights and movement, he still has -some- rights vested to him by the system. He's not a piece of property to be used and discarded according to the will of a fickle master, he is somewhat protected by a rudimentary "rule of law". Altough, serfs and commonfolk do enjoy different right depending on the Duchy they come from. Pascaean commoners are well-off and they often hold more wealth than the nobles itself, while in
FUCK Fallavon they are clearly more on the mercy of their lords, as we have seen from Lord Lardarse's and Sinclair's behaviour.

I half suspect when we get to Cathaggi that we will find similar diversity in the treatment of slaves and the potential positions they can hold within the world there.

[Hearty] Anon write-ins were wise to keep an eye out for that potential Golden Sun connection. The Hangman’s Harp is not exactly the most prestigious of establishments, the sign is crooked and the owners appear to have permanently shuttered one of the windows where the glass has been shattered. You’ve little notion as to whether that was due to a discontent pedestrian throwing something in, or an unruly patron being thrown out. Times were you wouldn’t be seen dead in such a place, but you are more interested in the potential intel to be garnered here than whether the paint is flaking pain or the chairs in the common room are worn and splintered. The ale at least, you are forced to admit, does go down quite well. It goes some way in explaining why so many Freeblade mercenaries frequent this place, such rough and ready sorts are doubtless more concerned with the quality of the drink than the environment they sip it in. The Bastards of Lys are easy enough to spot, crowded around several tables in their patchwork cloaks distinctly at odds with the usual billowing Lanlish fashion. Upon each of their right shoulders, sewn in to the cloth, is a depiction of a crowned female Saint shedding a single tear. It’s not Salve Reginae, and the sigil almost appears Cantish in design from what you can tell, but if Lys is indeed the name of this supposed Saint it is not one you immediately recognise. Though all the men you see speak Langlish fluently, you occasionally hear a smattering of your mother tongue in snippets of conversation. Perhaps some of these men are also from Cantôn, though none you would think to be the noble blooded sort. To your surprise the Axemen of Lorne are mostly comprised of Norsikaans, though you do spot the odd Langlish sellsword wearing their trademark sigil of three silver axes in some fashion. Fabio is unfamiliar with the Axemen beyond their public reputation, but he confirms that their company is one of the oldest he is aware of. Founded by If a Norsikaan fighter finds themselves in Langland and short of coin, the Axemen are a promising port of call. Apparently, every man amongst them from huscarl to halberdier or arbalest must by the rules of the Company be armed at all times with an axe, be it a great two-handed longaxe or a smaller token hatchet. There is a rumour that they cannot remove it even when relieving themselves or bedding a woman. Fabio admits he is uncertain whether this is a joke, perhaps at the expense of newer recruits. [1/2]

[Intrigue: Bastards of Lys] + [Hearty] Hold the fuck up, this man is from Lord Lardarse's town. This is actually a good thing. If he hears how we embarassed the fat lord, we may just get in his good graces, and therefore have a good gateway into more intrigue. Besides, Moretti did mention these guys specifically along with the Axes, so they should be our main focus.

I'm torn, the Golden sons are a follow up lead while the Bastards of Lys and the Axe's are prospective contracts with the Admiral and will likely have the information we need, though I can Imagine that after the battle in Fallavon the sons are short on men to recruit which might make a man like us a prospect to consider and thus a good line of investigation.

So it's safe to assume he isn't a knight from the name right? Or he would have had a last name or be called Percy dan Darbyshire

Anons were wise to pick up on the Fuck Fallavon (Lord Fitchener) connection, and I like the idea of Emile also just wanting to speak non-foreigners for a change. Even one who is not a noble. The bonus from Fabio the Elder will be more directed at the wider Langlish crowd than your Cantonian target in particular. I also note that anons generally seem happy to share everything with both Sir Gilbern and House Andrei women. Going forward, I will assume that your reports are largely the same to both parties unless there is something compromising or highly specific (or it relates to an Oath of Silence like the Sins).

We should also definitely visit the markets, wouldn't do us harm to browse the wares they have there. Maybe there are some khaveshops were we can sit down and take a sip? Oh, and the Church! We should check it out too, pray for a safe trip.

One thing we should note with regards to the information, (1) we do have that warning from Gilbern to avoid using the information we gather to enrich ourselves. (2) the doubles bonus appears to getting some sort of information to vancewell. Depending on how it is, we might end up in a situation where we are accused of feeding information to a faction-linked noble house which can lead to not-great consequences to our family and the reginate.

>>5393639 Writing her without permission of her father? Scandalous! Here we go.
My dearest, Lady Vancell.
I apologize for the impropriety of writing you, without prior leave of your father. For I doubt he would make the allowance, or that I could respect his wishes in this matter where he to deny it. Seldom there is a day, an hour, a moment I don’t think of your person. The dance we shared was the spark that gave birth to the conflagration in my heart, and it keeps me ever warm against raging seas and cold nights. Arrogant and presumptuous that I am, my sole desire is that you also share that fire in your heart of hearts. Time and distance might keep us apart for now but know that I dream to see you again and speak with my clumsy voice the tender truths I hold for you.
Your Sir Emile Andrei.

Can I just say that I can barely process what the fuck just happened. Firstly the angel recruited Emile; A knight in canton with ABSOLUTELY NO expertise in spycraft, to gather intelligence in a country in which he is ABSOLUTELY UNFAMILIAR for a plot he has just heard of from an -anonymous angel tipline (tm)- involving people from social circles he HAS NO IDEA EXISTED. Well you would imagine that this would end in disaster or at least be a fruitless endeavour. But NOOOO Not only does this knigga swagger into what is the in universe equivalent to the cantina from mos eisley, not only does he make a beeline for the one knave that has all the information he needs to unveil this whole conspiracy he gets him to spill the beans on not just the whole deal but also some other side shit that's just the cherry on top. ALL IN ONE EVENING Meanwhile Sir Gilburn is back in Canton befuddled as to why Emile (His politically retarded but oh so dear and loyal friend) has already submitted a report before reaching Cathagi about a conspiracy with the prince in Langland that has all the relevant Details and conspirators indexed and annotated. By the almighty anons how the fuck did we pull this off?

Naturally assimilating into the table of Bastards of Lys with a few purchased drinks, no one remarks upon your presence disparagingly as the night goes on. In fact, your current subject seems to be actively trying to recruit you. Despite his lower station, you make efforts not to talk down to the common mercenary. Although Percy of Darbyshire hints at being the byblow of some significant lord with meaningful looks and the occasional look, you suspect that his illegitimate heritage is in fact far more humble than the sellsword implies. Quickly winning him over with your disparaging remarks of the Lord Fitchener. <span class="mu-i">“Hah! Lard Kitchener, yes! What a bloody tosser…”</span> Percy grins, shaking his head before downing the rest of his cup in one gulp. <span class="mu-i">“Ah! Gotta say, I don’t miss the place. All manner of beasties on the outside, and no shortage of harsh taskmasters on the inside. All things being said, Fuck Fallavon.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“I’ll drink to that.”</span> You signal for the barkeep to bring you another round. Your shout, of course. <span class="mu-i">“You’ve done well for yourself in the Bastards of Lys then?”</span> <span class="mu-i">“Oh yes, I done alright. Won and lost some good bit of coin. And the biggest riches are yet to come. I’m no Condottiero…”</span> The mercenary glances to one side as Fabio explains that this is the term for senior officers and leaders in Freeblade Companies, the self-styled ranks of each company being too diverse for most outsiders to readily refer to them. <span class="mu-i">“But I’m in the big tent when the real talk is happening. And trust me. Big things is happening.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“What do you mean?”</span> You ask, making sure that your expression carries the appropriate mixture of bemusement and greed. <span class="mu-i">“We’ve been told to build our strength and recruit. Any likely lads that know their way around a blade. A lad like you. The bastards won’t take just anyone! But for a fighter like you? Oh they’ll part with good coin for that kind of spine. Pit take it, I tell them you put Lard Kitchener’s pet knight on his arse and they’ll pay premium!”</span> The expatriate sellsword barks a harsh laugh and shares another wink And ol’ Percy here will take care of ya don’t worry, and not just for me recruit commission neither. You’d have your own command before the year was out, Almighty’s honest truth. Adam’s Teeth, you’d probably have your own section at least within the month. We have divisions all over, but they’ll finish up their business and trickle back. Word is we got the time, and when the word comes down and the contract is signed we’ll be shipping out.” <span class="mu-i">“What, all of you?”</span> You don’t have to feign the scepticism in your voice. From what he’s shared, the current strength of the Bastards is several hundred men even before they ramp up their recruiting. [1/4]

Our new employer, or co-employer I guess, has got a lot of coin to go around. I’m talkin’ deep purses, friend. Trust me.”</span> The hardbitten Cantônian mercenary leans in closer, demonstrating his skills in multitasking by scratching his arse with his left hand and letting out a fart at the same time. His right hand gratefully grasps the next tankard you hand him. <span class="mu-i">“Deep. Royal kinda deep.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“A lot of money to be made in a big campaign like the one your describing.”</span> You indicate enough interest for Percy to keep up his recruiting attempts, implying that you’d like to see action to work your way up the ranks. <span class="mu-i">“When are we talking?”</span> <span class="mu-i">“Not right now at any rate. Pit, maybe not even this year. I got people in the Lornes who say they’ve got business in the Frozen Straits, somewhere up in the north past Fallavon.”</span> Far north Montbrun? That’s House Norwache territory. You make a mental note of that little intel nugget. It doesn’t seem connected to the Faction, at least so far as you can see. But it could prove useful to House Rabe, and if nothing else the truth of that claim would help cement the validity of the rest of this information. <span class="mu-i">“An’ I hear them Suns is still wrapped up in a bunch of contracts on the east coast.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“Pascae?”</span> The Crown Prince envisages a major campaign in the future. Not immediate, maybe not for years if the Free Company’s are being encouraged to wrap up their various contracts and recruit. But the where is critical. <span class="mu-i">“Would the Bastards be going there too?”</span> <span class="mu-i">“Nah. Well, maybe yes. I shouldn’t be telling you this but there’s some big stink on in the big city right now, Port whatsit… Big payers are nervous, looking for a little muscle to keep the wolfs at the door, know what I’m saying?”</span> Percy shrugs and nearly slips off his stool. When he recovers his balance he is presently surprised to see another mug of ale placed before him. <span class="mu-i">“Oh you’re a gent right enough. Maybe we’ll *hic* dip our toe in if the pay is right. But nah, I reckon the big one is gonna be Eashterner than that. Way Easht...”</span> A subtle warning chitter sounds as a well-dressed man brushes behind you. You glance over your shoulder and quickly look away. It’s the Captain-General Lorenzo of the Golden Suns, one of the few mercs present that you You’re surprised Lady Soutsworth recognised the scent from the Duke Pascae’s Ball. You begin to make your excuses to your informative drinking companion, but it seems Percy of Darbyshire has let the drink get the better of him. Many of the other Bastards are in a similar state of inebriation, none of them comment on your departure as you discretely head upstairs to your room and dwell on the revelations of tonight. [2/4]

Forgotten QM !!cRQ2bB+8b3B ID:zfRZhFl7 Mon 05 Sep 2022 10:06:13 No. 5394069 Report East of Pascae? Aubres, perhaps. But for what purpose...a coup? It couldn’t be. He’s heir to the throne anyway for Pit's sake. Why hire foreign mercenaries, and on such a scale, to take something that will one day be his at any rate? Doing so would only turn every right-thinking Cantônian against him. It has been tried before in your nation’s history, with nothing to show for it but a brief puppet-kingship whose authority ended at Aubrey’s walls and suitably gruesome results for the traitors involved in the end. To Fallavon then, for another try at the ruins? No. Too blunt and obvious a weapon for a purpose both sides were so desperate to keep hidden. The hiring of a few Golden Sun divisions to tip the balance in their secret war was risky enough. And perhaps now the Faction realises that the horror from the Pit unleashed in those deep halls was not the balance-shifting prize they had hoped for. Motte-Fallavon is the crossroads of the realm and an enticing strategic target of its own. But the same argument against a move in Aubres applies here, all that would be achieved would be raising the ire of every Duchy threatened by the move. Montbrun? Sir Karlaus Rabe was happy at the prospect of cleaning the mountains of Snakemen raiders. But the campaign was going to be over by Mid-Winter, if the zealous Order of the Broken Blade didn’t wrap it up before then. Everyone says that. And even if it is more serious, even if the Scaled Horde is on the rise once again, the Torwatcher Gates have never once fallen to the Foe. Your sisters would have called you something of a slouch when it came to your education in the histories. But you know your battles, the big ones at least, and every time in Cantôn’s history the Horde has broken upon those Gates like water upon a rock. Lost Ardenne? The combined armies of Romaine have tried time and time again since the Night of Three Sisters to topple the Dread Lords from their throne. Always, they have failed. Kings have led armies into that dark realm and been crushed, the legacy of their reign being their subjects added to the Deadmen ranks. Crusades of the faithful have lost heart and faltered in the face of the horrors of that stalk that place. An assortment of pragmatic mercenaries, an army of them, will not succeed there where so many others of faith and fire have failed. Even a godless sellsword can fear for his immortal soul. Not Romaine itself, surely? Your gut sinks at the prospect of roving bands of mercenaries let loose in the fields of your home. House Andrei lands plundered, her subjects robbed and brutalised. The shield against the dark cracked beyond repair. But again you ask yourself what could the Crown Prince, or his Langlish allies for that matter, possibly gain from such a venture? [3/4]

He likely already knows that we have spoken of our visions. We should mention them to him but stress that we have not just taken it as fact and have used it to further sharpen our pursuit of the truth and it *has* borne actionable and physical proof.
-----
This is our first report to the Reginate and Sir Gilbern. In order to cement our relationship and establish a strong plateform for future mutual trust and support, we *must* show that we are commited, so that we can in the future take action to protect our own with the backing of the Ordos. Thankfully the requests to release pertinent information to the relevant parties should be a fairly simple matter as it may directly concern their survival and Sir Gilbern has likely had a rough measure of Sir Rabe and will likely see him as not Faction material.

It just may discourage the validity of our information by creating an image of us like a raving lunatic who made it all up. Robert himself is a cynical man and the same can be said for Monty, so I have no doubt they will outright discard such ramblings. While I know that anons really want to spread the word of the Angel and affirm our sainthood, it's dangerous talk. The kind of talk that could get us in trouble with some parts of the church, and when I mean some parts, I mean the Queen herself whom the Heralds directly serve.

This is our promise to Sir Gilbern. Based on this alone we must send all information through him. A promise made is a promise kept.

We can't start off being wishy washy with operational security from the beginning otherwise Gilbern will never trust us. The Prince had some incredible knowledge of our day to day life and multiple letters will make it very easy to find out what we know. We could probably word it in such a way that it would be advantageous to send over to the Rabes to 1) Get them on the Reginate side and 2) not waste Queensmen resources on dealing with the Axemen when they can handle it for them. It costs nothing and they get a positive reputation/foothold with a Montbrun house.

Let the doubters of your intentions be damned. [Include Divine Message] How directly are we wording this? I know it was discussed as saying it straight but not elaborating the otherworldly nature of it in hopes that Gilbern would think it a code name rather than an actual visitation of the divine. That way if we reference the letters in the future it can be obvious that we actually meant it in hindsight but fly low enough not to pique interest if intercepted.

>>5394124 And Kingsmen are crucially, not the Faction. We must keep in mind that the King and his Roiguard are curiously as of yet out of the picture for some fucking reason. Furthermore, Damien is already reaching out to the Reginate as we chose for him and mother is likely also bending her resources in pursuit of more information. Importantly, Damien is also under no such oath to keep his information secret and what he knows is most likely going to the ear of our father and mother.

>We must keep in mind that the King and his Roiguard are curiously as of yet out of the picture for some fucking reason. Since the start of the quest the factions play has been proxies, proxies and more proxies when it comes to their activites be it Hast Vancewell or Condottori or even probably a Duke their is always distance between the Faction head and their agents with good fucking reason since things could go nuclear real fast for everyone involved if stuff like the ruins got out to the larger realm.

I would like to lobby harder against admitting our divine messages. If I remember correctly, we did try to convince Bishop Gilbern and he wasn't really convinced by it. Besides, it just really doesn't sit well with me to spread that information too much. We may just alien people by doing it.

>>5394848 >>5394927 You're basically stating that we actually have a better case if we're trying to feed information to our family as compared to feeding information to Sir Rabe, are you not?
That, we could possibly explain the 1st that we are concerned for our family and get the reginate to understand our transgressions but in the 2nd there is no real great reason to send confidential information other than 'because we wanted to'?
>>5394929 Because its not about getting angry. The combined actions of the two are meant to show that we are currently willing to agree to the restrictions Sir Gilbern placed on our information gathering and work with him. It also helps us in that if we are forced to take selfish actions to save our own above the reginate interest, they are likely to let it go as we have shown a willingness to follow their lead.
As per Forgotten in #26:
>By opting to divulge the full truth and NOT swear an oath, I see this as you entrusting yourself and family more to the good graces of Sir Gilbern himself rather than the Ordo Reginate organisation as a whole. I will view this as an AUTO-SUCCESS, Sir Gilbern is willing to give you the benefit of the doubt for now. This does not mean he may not make a request of you during your tenure in the Dragon Guard, but it does mean that his judgement of your sincerity depends on your assistance somewhat. >It is highly unlikely Sir Gilbern will steer the Reginates to action against your family and will, assuming you don’t break faith, take steps to shelter both you and them from the worst of the attentions of the Prince’s Faction. Given how much you have divulged, Sir Gilbern could very easily destroy you. If he wanted to, that is. Anonymous
>>5394933 Yeah basically, I think the thing that we really need to understand is that while Gilbern is a comrade to us and someone putting trust into our relationship he still views us as a asset, admittedly one that is providing dividends and probably isn't so quickly discarded but still an asset that can be should the need arise.
Another thing to consider is that IF our family does get this Intellegience Damien can convey it his sweetheart who is a part of House Rabe.
Anonymous
>>5394946 Aye. And considering that the regular circles of trust in cantonese society go about:
Kingdom -> Duchy -> Allies -> Family
The instruction to not spread to our family already has an implicit understanding not to spread to those spaced further out.
Like its a strange thing. To restrict pertinent information to our family while freely giving it out to a friend.

A major House to the north like Norwache being threatened by mercenary activity, or perhaps hiring mercenaries themselves, is something that is certainly of concern to his House. While the Rabes may not share a direct border, the Norawache are a major Montbrun noble house controlling one of the three Törwatcher Gates. The stability of their lands will doubtless have ramifications for the security of the Duchy as a whole, especially if the Snakemen incursions are more serious than everyone seems to think. Failure to give Sir Rabe forewarning when it is within your power could cost lives. You will not have that inaction on your conscience, certainly not for the sake for placating an agent of the Queen who may decide to keep such a thing secret if it somehow benefits the Queensmen. The phrase ‘better to ask forgiveness than permission’ springs to mind, but given that there is no suggestion this information relating to the Axemen of Lorne’s movements has anything at all to do the primary concerns of Sir Gilbern’s sphere of interest. You hope that your honesty in what exactly you have told anyone else will furnish trust that the balance of the report is indeed for his eyes only. As for the Angel… Had the Angel bid you to write of them you would have scribed down every detail of their visions until your hand cramped and ink ran out. If the Angel bid you to tell the world of their visitations you would climb the tallest tower and shout your declarations until your lungs were hoarse. But thus far the Angel has spoken to you in whispers, given you the threads to pull. You cannot divine the Almighty’s intentions, but you know they go beyond something as paltry as just another source of intel, albeit an undoubtedly omniscient one. You will not disseminate the proof of their visions, however reassuring the vindication of your own belief by others might have been. You blink at the conclusion of the Sandag service, you were so lost in your own musings that you missed the priest’s sermon on the exiled Brothers taking shelter at the foot of a mountain during a desert storm. You’re somewhat familiar with the parable, but you had completely missed the point the priest of this homely chapel was trying to drive home. Afterwards, as people bid their brothers and sisters in the Faith farewell at the chapel doors, you’re surprised to note more than a few Langlish in attendance. Such men, and the odd woman, are still garishly dressed for a Sandag Mass but far more modest in your view compared to their heathen countrymen. [2/3]

Forgotten QM !!cRQ2bB+8b3B ID:zfRZhFl7 Tue 06 Sep 2022 12:18:05 No. 5395061 Report [3/3] You bristle at the first instance of one of the Langlish church-goers taking your hand and calling you <span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-g"> ‘Fratello’</span></span>. But you swiftly reprimand yourself, mentally noting it for confession with Father Towbray later. The articles of the True Faith are clear. A man’s wealth, birth, sex… even his nationality or language, while they may be of import in the material world before the Almighty all such distinctions ring hollow indeed. You force yourself to return the man’s awkward smile with an earnest one of your own and address him as ‘Brother’ in return. While the size of the Capara congregation is unimpressive, you find some comfort in the knowledge that not every single citizen of this godless nation is without God themselves. =================================================== (1) You have 4-5 days left in Langland before your scheduled departure, the intel you have gleaned thus far will be verified during them.

Forgotten QM !!cRQ2bB+8b3B ID:zfRZhFl7 Wed 07 Sep 2022 12:11:03 No. 5396221 Report [2/2] Overall, your translator’s presence turns the tour from what would have been a possibly stressful and overwhelming experience into a relaxing and informative experience. For example, you had no idea that the roofs of all buildings over a single storey tilt the same way to serve as further shelter eastern sea storms that blow in from the otherwise protected cove. That kind of detail would doubtless delight Father, he’ll probably pay more attention to that than anything else in your next letter home. You can see it now, Father sitting by the fireside in his favoured sideroom as Roselyn or Halina reads to him. ‘Emile slew a sea serpent? Very good darling, but hardly surprising. Go back to that bit about the roof in Capara, are the shingles slanted and blah blah blah’. You roll your eyes at the scene in your head. Really, <span class="mu-i">architecture</span>? Why not a manlier hobby, like hunting? You also find it interesting that the Langlish, while not a religious people, are certainly not without their own superstitions. They are seemingly obsessed with luck. There is a certain fountain in town that one should toss a coin in before an important deal, a certain garden that lovestruck fools should walk through before asking for a woman’s hand, a certain meal that a sailor should have on his last night ashore. Luck is viewed as a virtue, an inherent trait that shows strength of character much like bravery or honesty. And much like a man can develop cowardice by refusing to face their fears, or form a habit of lying, the Langlish view is that a man can also run out of luck if they don’t cultivate it. After a day or two of this you do eventually get around to paying the Order of the Trident Lodge, one of the few chapter houses of a knightly order located on foreign soil. There you meet… =====>Sir Dante Lyons. A renowned tourney knight from Aubres, you’d actually heard the name Lyons before and would have expected his attendance at the Summer Tourney in Romaine. He tells you that he joined the Order to see more exotic fighting styles, he is well familiar with all the famous local duellists and is learning from them even as he demonstrates his own Cantônian martial styles. [Haughty] >Sir Bailley von Rhum. The youngest son of the previous King’s Roiguard commander, himself a famous knight raised from the common ranks and awarded lands in Romaine, this man fell in love with the sea whilst on Errantry.

One of the Order members more directly involved in facilitating negotiations on the anti-piracy treaty negotiations between the Langlish Cities and Pascae Duchy.

He is full to the brim with stories of the high seas, from running battles with pirates to perilous weather and even encounters with sea monsters. [Hearty] IRL things ran pretty late tonight, lads.

Mikail is slightly disenchanted with his Roiguard dreams. 0 = Fumbled first impressions. You’re not particularly welcome at the Order of Trident Lodge, and the extent of your encounter with Sir von Rhum is one of forced politeness. 1 = Interesting story. You have not made a friend, but you do listen to one of the man’s experiences. You can’t see how it’s going to be of utility to you on your own voyage, but at least it was entertaining. 2 = Regaled with stories. You have some idea of the paths on your voyage where certain dangers are most likely to occur, and even some wisdom that may give an advantage if encountering one of them. 3 = Knightly camaraderie. In addition to unique insight into the various dangers of your voyage and how to best counter them. You will have the option of convincing Sir von Rhum to join you on the next leg of your voyage, or to take on Mikail during the remainder of your stay for specific lessons to do with nominations into the Roiguard. Double Pass = Hero worship. As another commoner with Roiguard aspirations, Mikail learns some valuable lessons and vindicated in his aspirations. 3 rolls of 1d100. You have ONE re-roll. <span class="mu-s">Mind your manners and stop gawping, Mikail.</span>

Quick rundown on why we care about what's West of Westeros?
Anonymous
>>5399704 Forgotten based StV off of Warhammer Fantasy, so i would imagine it's dark elves (dark Fae? The unseelie court maybe).
For reference, i'm pretty sure the inspirations for each faction goes something like this:
Aubres: Brettonia with some Empire influences
Fallavon: Brettonia all the way
Montbrun: Brettonia with some Kislev
Romaine: Ardenne is based off of Mousillon. The rest is Brettonia
Cathagi: Cathay? Unsure how much lore there was before total war. May also be the Empire
The Enclave: wood elves. Duh
Black sails: Likely dark elves. They are known for their black arks and incredibly hostile.
SoS/the Faction: chaos and its worshippers.
Norsikka: Norsca with less chaos worship (probably)
Langland: Sartosa maybe? They're just italians but on an island.
Course, the world of StV is very different from WHF, and while the roots of most factions are the same, most are nothing alike when you look closer at them. It could be that the black sails are related to the deadmen of Ardenne, since they are mentioned in the same paragraph in the pastebin.
Anonymous
>>5399771 Because Forgotten has been dropping hints about the black sails for years now, and we will need to understand the bigger picture if we hope to influence the secret war.

>>5399780 Canton is more a blend of the Empire/Brettonia with some places (like Fallashit and Romaine) being closer to Brettonia while the more civilised realms are closer to the Empire (Aubrey & Pascae)

Like understand the secret lore? Play a key role? Lead the kingmen/queensmen?
Anonymous
>>5399808 It's not exactly out of the question that we're going to have an influence on the Faction Conspiracy in the future, considering we've already personally interacted with two different Sons of Sin and who knows how many key figures. We're going to be playing a role, the only questions are how big of a role it's going to be, and how well we understand the part we're playing.

But it seems the man isn’t yet done with his tale. <span class="mu-i">“Mostly, though there are others. Crabbers, fisherfolk. They keep to themselves, but I’ve heard stories. They say that every year, two of their number are sent out to man a lighthouse on the westernmost islet."</span> A shake of the head suggests what he thinks of this. <span class="mu-i">"I don’t know why. Can’t be to guide ships away from the rocks through the pervasive year-long fog, no sane captain sails out in those waters. But every year, they send two men out. And every year, and I mean -every- year, only one comes back.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“Reginae wept.”</span> A cold shiver crawls up your spine, questions of possible human sacrifice left hanging in the air. <span class="mu-i">“What do you think is out there?”</span> [1/3]

<span class="mu-i">“I’d be lying if I told you I knew.”</span> Sir von Rhum says with a careful shrug. <span class="mu-i">“But I can tell you what I think. Once, a little ways south and west of here, I was stationed on a Cantônian cog. The Old Glory. We were a fleet of three, merchantmen on our way back from Cathagi that had strayed from our intended route. It came for us in the fog.”</span> You glance up. The light in the lodge room has darkened slightly, a cloud passing overhead outside no doubt. But ominous all the same. You look back at the man across from you. <span class="mu-i">“What did?”</span> <span class="mu-i">“A serpent. Unblinking eyes wider than your squire is tall. A maw of needle teeth big enough for an armoured knight to charge straight down its gullet with room to spare on either side. We peppered the damn thing with blade and arrowhead even as it crushed one of the ships in its coils, the Armitage I think it was called. I’ll never forget how it let us go, turning on the screaming sailors cast overboard. Plucking those poor souls beneath the waves one by one, the shimmer of its fins and crest beneath the water. Black as pitch.”</span> Sir von Rhum pauses, his eyes telling you it’s not a sight too far from his dreams these nights. He brushes off the melancholy look with another swig, wiping his mouth and pointing at you with the hand wrapped around the mug. <span class="mu-i">“If you ask me, and you did… these rumours of silent black sailed ships, drifting in the fog and crewed by the damned hungry for sailors souls is all hogwash. No. That’s what lurks out there in the west. A monster. A sea creature so big that folk mistake its fins for sails in the distance. The kind of beast that would make the one that attacked us look like a minnow.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“But… Cain sailed west.”</span> The scripture is silent as to what became of him in his self-imposed exile. But surely a watery death at the hands of an unseelie leviathan was not his final fate. <span class="mu-i">“Saint Cain and his Ten Thousand.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“Aye, so it’s written in the Book of Brothers.”</span> Sir von Rhum nods, eyes not meeting yours. <span class="mu-i">“I just hope he had the good sense to turn south at some point.”</span> [2/3]

Forgotten QM !!cRQ2bB+8b3B ID:B130ybCx Sun 11 Sep 2022 12:57:13 No. 5400606 Report [3/3] Aside from that grim discussion, the rest of your day with Sir Bailley von Rhum proves to be quite enjoyable. He is a jovial man, and the vast majority of his stories do not bear out nearly so grim as his encounter with the sea serpent. When you confirm that Mikail has aspirations to join the Roiguard one day the man is delighted to hear it, insisting your squire come sit with the two of you and painting a picture of life in the Roiguard through the eyes of a boy who paged and eventually squired for the best of them. Heinrich Hightower, brother to Brockland the Stone, Jarsay the Fair and not least his father the Red Rhum. All renowned knights of the realm with their own legendary feats you yourself are familiar with. Bailley ruefully admits he went on errantry at first to get out of his old man’s shadow, the Red Rhum was a legendary figure that one did not easily step out from. But Bailley himself fell in love with the sea on his first voyage, describing her as a cruel and bewitching mistress that never ceases to surprise her suitors. He happily concurs with your suggestion that he take your squire on for a few days for lessons specific to the Roiguard examinations. On the condition that you agree to attend his favourite Langlish restaurant on the dockside on your final night ashore, along with a number of your companions. It seems more than a fair bargain. ====================================================== While Mikail learns much that will assist in the initial Roiguard tests, the less he takes most to heart is this.>A Roiguard is an exemplar knight. Moreso if they come from the common ranks, not less. They must excel in everything a noble born knight does, and do better still. They must prove themselves, not just for the benefit of noble ranks. But to their King. To Cantôn. [Haughty] >A Roiguard is an incorruptible man. They must be free of scandal and base desires. Promises of gold must hold no sway, nor can threats to life and limb deter them. They must fear nothing in the pursuit of safeguarding their King, to shield their liege with their own body if need be. [Stalwart] >A Roiguard is a vigilant guardian. Be it a charging foe on a bloody field, a snake hidden beneath a velvet pillow or a knife tucked beneath a courtiers cloth. Ever on watch for dangers both obvious on the battlefield and hidden in the halls of power, they must never slacken in their alertness. [Resilient]

I could see Mikail leaning into any of them, but this one seems so very important. He must excell in his studies as a squire and we as his teacher and mentor must provide him with the knowledge to do so.
>>5400613 You don't understand anon, Bailley here mentioned that the Beast in the West isn't the one that attacked them. He says that it's -even- bigger and more terrifying. It's no wonder that the Langlish are afraid to even mention it. But the again, who knows if he's right? Maybe there is something akin to the Dreadlords in the West, raising demon sea serpents from the depths and demandig sacrifices from the island dwellers.

<span class="mu-s">Tunegan, 17th Day of Bacrimun, 883 A.C.E., Morning – Capara, Langland</span> Point Plaza, or Punto Plaza as the locals call it, is a wide area a few blocks away from the College of Admirals at the edge of the city itself. It is a largely tiled area set up in a series of concentric circles, at the centre of each ring is a sandy areas that come in varying sizes. You suppose these mark the in-bounds areas for the ongoing sparring, at least a dozen swords ring at any given moment. The plaza itself is divided into three areas, roughly circuluar and separated by nothing more than the odd stall and social custom. Your translator Fabio the Elder explains the significance of each area, also noting the plaza is a recent feature of Capara and in his day they had to make do with fighting in the dirt outside the town walls. At the opening of the plaza are the Sognatori, the amateurs and unskilled. From children playing with sticks to teenagers taking things a little too seriously, fierce grunts and angry insults mellowed by the amused chuckles of watching adults and the fact that everyone is using blunted steel. In the middle, the largest section of the plaza, is the Sfregiato. They are the proven men, bravos that have fought and fight regularly. They don’t necessarily need to have killed a man to be permitted to train there without being jostled back to the Sognatori, but almost all have at least bloodied their blades in earnest. This is a place where such men come to settle scores without the intention to leave behind a body, or else test their mettle against others and perhaps learn a thing or two. Or even, judging by the raucous laughter and slapping of backs of those standing around, a place to point and laugh at their friends getting their backside handed to them by another. [2/3]

The masters of the Langlish blade, some with a single student under their careful watch and some with classes nearing a dozen. Not all of them are engaged in any particular activity, quite a few seem content to recline in comfortable couches and drink khave as they watch the others sweat. Some of their number look too damn old to have held a blade in years, at least one is using a cane just to stand. But, as you watch one wizened old figure with hair whitened from age fight off five accomplished students with a disturbing level of ease, you surmise that looks can be deceiving. You ask Fabio about the use of blunted steel, given just the other day you saw one man cut down another in the street with the real thing. He explains that the plaza is considered neutral ground among the bravos, even those who claim patronage of rivalling families. While even a blunted rapier can prick the skin or remove an eye, to defy that unspoken agreement apurpose is to quickly earn the ire of the master swordsmen that are the defacto rulers of the plaza. The prohibition is not for ethical reasons, mind you. They just don’t like the bloodshed and bodies distracting their students or disrupting their classes. If things really do get heated, any bravo is free to walk a street or so away and have it out in earnest there. =================================================>You are challenged by three would-be bravos of the Sognator, boys really. They offer a wager of 10 sequins apiece for a dance with you, winner decided on touches. You’d fight for honour alone, but the added wager is a nice edge. A hit anywhere except your blade or shield will be considered a touch, so these cocksure youths will have the advantage. You do not mind, they will need it.

The mood is jovial, with a bit of friendly rivalry between differing nations of martial schools. That or Fabio is tactfully not translating the more offensive jibes. [Hearty] As you walk among the established fighters of the central plaza section you are pleasantly surprised to find yourself not unwelcome. Even if they do not regard you as a bravo, they clearly recognise a fellow warrior and are more interested in how to employ their skills against you, with a little light-hearted ribbing. Though you do note on a few occasions that Fabio seems to repeat phrases spoken to you in an altogether softer tone than what strikes you as a blunt deliver, or even at times completely miss whatever an opponent was saying to you in the moment. You have your suspicions, and your pride prickles at the possibility of insults going unanswered, but if you insist on Fabio translating everything verbatim you’ll be here all week settling scores. Instead you ignore them, favouring opponents that put more stock in action and technique than flowery words. Many of the friendlier ones are intrigued by your masterwork armour, and the inflamed pride you might have had at some other remarks is well soothed by their admiring tones and compliments to the maker. It’s not the first time these bravos have come across full-plate by any stretch, Fabio explains, but many remark at the comparatively small number of gaps by which a telling wound could be scored. The back of the leg is a well known weak-point, but one the Sfregiato readily admit they would not first aim for in an earnest fight. Instead, you note the inside of the elbow on your sword arm is a prime target for their style of fighting. Although they do claim a truly skilled master might go right for the slit for your eyes with little immediate risk to themselves. It’s an interesting theory, but one you would have to see to believe. As the day goes on you actually get very little genuine fighting in, Point Plaza seems to be just as much a place for socialising and slowly going through various techniques in small groups than it is earnest sparring. As expected, the day is not without its excitement. People pause in their swings at angry shouts in the next circle over that end with a pained scream, you turn just in time to see a man fall to the ground clutching his limp wrist. <span class="mu-g"><span class="mu-i">“Maledetto idiota.”</span></span> The bravo next to you remarks, shaking his head in disgust. He makes a flicking gesture with his fingers at the man being helped out of the adjacent arena. <span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-g">“Chi con tutti i venti di ponente cerca di strappare a Scartare le Rose quando chiunque non gli cadesse in testa come un bambino avrebbe fatto Dipingere il Cielo.”</span></span> [1/2]

>>5403968 Sadness ;(
you open for questions though?
I was wondering about Ardenne, pastebin says the masters of the deadmen were awoken in Ardenne. Is this a know fact or just assumed everybody "knows" fact? Seeing as pastebin also mentions that deadmen are seen elsewhere in the world. Is there any scholerly debate, in world as to where the deadmasters come from. Is it believed to be a curse or maybe Fae in origin, or even a punishment from the almighty?
Ooc, what SoS could this most likely be if they were the cause, the paladin Sangiune is literally called blood so wouldn't be too out of left field for him to be vampire like.
Anonymous
>>5404067 I'm pretty sure not everything links back to the SoS, the Fae enclave had a book called '''The Ardenne anomaly'' so its unlike anything they have encountered.
Sanguine's psydonym is more an attributation to a name I think Cain took in the Arena's of Cathaggi.

>Adversary The dead are an unrelenting and almost insurmountable enemy save perhaps for a united Canton.
I have a few theories as to the deadmen1.Ardenne overreached accidently at their apex and awoke something no one was prepared for. 2.A Cantonian conspiracy used the night of three sisters to take out the ascending Ardenne which was a Kingdom in all but name. 3.The night of three sisters awoke something everyone forgot about and it practically destroyed Ardenne. 4.A Rogue mage used the night of three sisters to destroy Ardenne or seize power, we know their is an upper echelon of the deadmen we haven't met yet.

This offers you the advantage of your armour, but even a friendly enough match is not without risk of injury. [First Blood] You sip on a cup of khave, finding it just as pleasant as the Patrikas’ own brew if not moreso. Clearly the wiry old Cathagi immigrant’s wares have become a fast favourite amongst the established swordsmen of Capara. The taste however, whilst agreeable, is not your primary focus. Your attention is locked on your challenger, this Giovanni character, drifting between the separate social circles of fighters before your match begins. Given that just yesterday you watched this man cut down another without compunction in the streets before your very eyes, you hold no misgivings in preparing your own mindset for battle accordingly. The man is a killer, and you will not enter a contest of arms with such an opponent whilst hungry or parched where such niggling distractions can be addressed before the combat begins in earnest. The man himself appears to pay little heed to your hawkish gaze, you had been hoping to seem him warm up or demonstrate a move or two whilst you took your rest. All the better to get a read of him. Alas, all he seems to be doing is drawing in a bigger match before the duel begins. By the time you step into the sand, delayed by the absence of Mikail and the complete hopelessness of Jess in assisting with the straps on your armour, anywhere between a quarter and a third of the plaza are watching with interest. ============================================= If two anons would please step up to the plate… <span class="mu-s">(1) Ursen Gorget</span>>50DC 0 Success = Nil effect. 1 Success = +1 Combat Re-Roll. +5DC. 1 roll of 1d100.

You had anticipated this, having watched the man at work previously, and are sure not to be overwhelmed or lured into a vulnerable position. While not a master by any means, you do believe you’re coming to recognise the strengths and weaknesses of this foreign style of fighting. It relies on speed and precision over protection and endurance, entirely at odds with knightly opponents you have previously faced off against. Maintaining your defensive posture, you allow the majority of the bravo’s attacks to patter against your heater shield. You yourself barely get a swing in, more setting a line in the sand and checking his aggression where it risks breaking past your guard. You don’t expect the man to tire himself out too quickly, he’s too good a swordsman for that. You’re simply biding your time and watching for your opportunity. He does get a few hits in, but your cautious approach deftly ensures that these glance harmlessly off of your expensive plate. His advantage is speed, yours is armour. Whilst he may have gotten the only hits in this round, he is no closer to victory. Still, some of those strikes were <span class="mu-i">very</span> close to the thin gaps in your expertly wrought armour… ========================== <span class="mu-s">Blademaster Contest: Sir Andrei vs Giovanni Giorgio</span>0 Success = Opponent benefits from a combat stance.

Doing a count, our DC should be 45 before restraint modifiers. His DC should be 53. Our Av should be 61. His AV, obviously, is literally nothing, because his fighting style seems to just go with massive DC bonuses but disdains the wearing of armour. Theoretically, if we go no restraint and he goes mild, combined with his Thorn perks, we would have the DC advantage. As long as we don’t crit (hah), he should be fine.

Experienced swordsmen in the audience comment with surprise as the match they had thought well and truly decided still hangs in the balance. An expert slice at the edge of your shield catches the strap, a blow like that on an unarmoured hand would have removed it at the wrist without a doubt. As it is, you’ll probably have a bruise on that hand and the shield now hangs loosely at your side. Any assumptions that the match was over are put to rest when you tear it off and fling it to the side, stance ready. Hopefully Fabio or Jess will pick that up before some urchin runs off with it. Both you and your opponent are tired now, you can see the man’s linen shirt soaked with sweat and his wet hair plastered across his brow.

(2) First Blood

We really have to look to upgrade our blade and/or try and find a teacher to up our blademaster bonus during our stay with the Dragon Guard. If we weren't wearing armor, there is no way we would have won this. I get that armor is its own bonus while taking a penalty for holding back and our opponent is spec'd specifically for 1v1 duels, but we were totally outclassed the entire time. Thank the Creator that the Ursen charm proc'd.

[+1 Step on the Path of Cain] <span class="mu-r">UNLOCKED Righteous Fury: +1 Adverse AV Roll to Foes</span> You flick Giovanni Giorgio’s blade to the side, another quick jab deflected into your pauldron. Maybe you don’t the full measure of him, not yet. But you -are- starting to get a read on some of his moves. In a twisted mindgame, some of that is in fact you letting him read him to lull you into a misstep and pounce with his astonishing speed. The pompous underhanded tactics of Sir Hewitt, the determined aggression of Sir Sinclair and the measured patience of Sir de Broulert are nothing like this opponent here. They were each a formidable opponent in their own right, but you have never felt as truly challenged by a single human opponent as you do here and now. The foreign bravo is a better swordsman, you have to admit as much even if it burns your pride. Had you been without your armour, or even a lesser harness than the masterwork of the <span class="mu-i">Bellicose</span>, you would have fared little better than a pincushion. But you are not armoured in anything but the finest that Cantônian forges have to offer. Your opponent is a supreme blademaster, but he is used to the quick victory decided in a single well-placed thrust. He has not had to slog at an enemy opponent for what feels like hours, he had not had to press against the foe in a muddy melee and deliver the killing blow even as his lungs scream for mercy. You are built for fortitude, to withstand the blows of your enemy and endure. To the bravo, sluggishness means death. And a man pushed past the point of exhaustion can become very slow indeed… <span class="mu-s">At last! Now!</span> Your single blade locks with both his long steel, your superior height and weight pinning him in place for the moment. His back foot scrambles on the sand, bringing up his short steel and barring it against the pressure of your sword. The two of you lock eyes, sweat matted locks of the Langlishman curling down over furrowed brows as your own piercing gaze bores into him from the narrow slit of your helm. <span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">“HHhhrraaahhhHH!!!”</span></span> With a roar closer to that of a frenzied bear than a man you swing your blade to the side and up, the long steel of your opponent sent spinning into the air. Every eye in the crowd follows the high arc of the bravo’s blade, travelling full over the large audience to sink into the sand of the adjacent pit point first. Your sword, now held in the left hand, slams Giovanni’s remaining short steel into the sand by his leg and the man has just enough time for his eyes to widen before the backhand of your right gauntlet smashes into his face.

I considered the hearty option as well which might make us have better options for trade routes and improving the Andrei lands, but we need to survive what is to come in Cathagi first.

What is known to you (perhaps specifically due to your encounters with the Comitas and Order of Names), is that the unholy abominations like the Wodenaki is a Fae weapon and relic of the wars before Three Sisters. But you recall it being all too familiar to your past encounters with the Deadmen.
>Is it believed to be a curse or maybe Fae in origin, or even a punishment from the almighty? There are indeed different sects that hold that the fall of Ardenne was punishment from the Almighty for their hubris, debauchery and pride. Most of these sorts would fall into the Reclaimant sect, particularly if the viewed it as some sort of test of faith on a national level.

[Haughty] >GAIN +1DC to Blademaster DC bonus [11DC] While your opponent is gracious in defeat, and the other bravos insistent in their invitations to show you a good Langlish night out, you must respectfully decline in favour of an opportunity to further study the way of the blade. You had not appreciated it before, having considered yourself a competent swordsman, but now you realise. If you want to be considered one of the best knights with a blade in the realm, you still have much to learn. There is very little in the way of practice during your time in the plaza before departing to the markets on your final day ashore. Speaking with the Senza Pari masters and watching them at work involves more theory than function, aside from a few instances where young students are encouraged to practice against you. The masters insist on blunted steel, though Fabio the Elder explains this is because they don’t trust their own charges not to trip on their own blades rather than concern for your safety. You find these lessons particularly helpful, as the focus of them is on how an opponent might best counter the armour you wear. For the most part though, you sit around drinking excellent khave and listen to the war stories of the eldest Senza Pari veterans. Much of these tales are merely reminiscent of youth or cutting remarks about how easy the younger generation has it these days, but one story in particular catches your interest. Some of the older hands, those taking their ease around the khave shop rather than training pupils, recall a man who passed through here some time ago. There is some disagreement as to whether he was a true foreigner or a Langlish mix of something, but All agree that over a score of years ago the man came her, each of the masters old enough to remember him admit to having been bested in the plaza much like Giovanni was today.

The greying swordmasters do claim that, in addition to besting every Langlish blade set against him, this unassuming swordman of legend travelled to both Norsikaa and Cantôn in search of a worthy opponent without success. Even the latter is true, you cannot say that you have ever heard the name. Some say he was a famed senior officer of the Dragon Guard, before retiring to a villa in the outskirts of the city. Others say he arrived in Nova Cathagi wearing nothing but rags and a blade in hand, challenging every swordsman in the city worth the name.

+1DC is nice, it could make a difference but not a huge one, the 3rd bonus is great but how often will we be fighting the Langlish specifically?
When we fight another Blademaster though, that's when the bonuses really count because we're no longer domination but in actual potential danger. A +5 bonus to getting to decide the tempo of battle is a big deal, as we just saw in our previous fight. Blademasters come in all flavours from Langlish to Norssikan to Cantonian.

Besides, higher DC means less chances of negative doubles, which are our constant cockblock issue.
>>5410733 *insert +5 DC meme here*
There's no such thing as a wasteful Combat DC bonus. A single point could have literally allowed to wear down Giovanni faster.

>>5410756 I'd argue that given our AV is 66 without any other modifiers (up to 80 if we take the Cautious stance) and with our 2 AV re-rolls our survivability is already pretty high. I agree that fewer double fails is great and +1DC isn't a waste but I think the stances are more important than you give them credit for.
Being able to control the flow of battle against expert enemies allows us to play it safe or exploit vulnerable moments and end the fight quickly. It lets us decide the level of risk we engage in from round to round and capitalize on any situation that occurs.
Against a superior opponent, allowing them to dictate our stance means potentially being put in a situation where we halve our AV when we don't want to or go too cautious and fail to do any real damage making the fight drag on longer and putting ourselves in more danger.
+1DC is great but getting to decide how aggressive we fight moment to moment I think is more important against the stronger fighters.

>>5410756 If we want more combat DC, we should get better gear. Based on an old Pascae market chart, switching to a Halberd/Buckler combo (assuming those can be combined), gives us +10DC and +20AV compared to the arming sword/heater shield combo of +5DC +20AV. Or at least we should be getting masterwork equipment if we are absolutely married to sword and board.

Forgotten QM !!cRQ2bB+8b3B ID:5icJTh3i Thu 22 Sep 2022 12:31:49 No. 5411654 Report Sorry lads, no update tonight and I am working on the weekend too so it may still be on-off like it has been the last few weeks. I will try to get a hang of this work-life-valur balance. Can I just say though, I adore that anons are so familiar with Sir Andre’s closest family and what they would like. I haven’t seen a lot of quests where the character has an established family relationship, so maybe it really is usually like this. But goddamn if it doesn’t bring a tear to my eye to see anons picking out architect books for Pops or a little flair of a dueling coat for the tomboyish little sis and things like that. Just absolutely love it.

> SELECTED: A permanent increase of +5DC is granted to contested Blademaster rolls [+5DC Blademaster] While they are methods used by the Senza Pari that could come in handy against one opponent or several, and specific Langlish style of the masters themselves is worth observing further, you decide that the most important area of focus is how to direct the flow of combat against a fellow competent swordsman. There’s only so much you can learn in the short amount of time you have left ashore, but you do pick up a few tricks that can help tilt the odds ever so slightly in your favour and how to counter them should a cunning adversary aim to employ such methods against you. A flick of the wrist here, a subtle increase in extending your reach there, these are small factors but where the balance is so finely held it could make all the difference at the moment of truth.

What time you don’t utilise drilling in the Plaza or taking your ease in the local khave shop is otherwise spent exploring the markets of Capara with your translator and remaining companions. Mostly you wander the busy streets, inspecting stalls and window-shopping at certain stores, but a few things do catch your eye. You remind yourself that you are here merely enroute to your true destination as a pilgrim, not a tourist, but you cannot help but pick up a few items to send home. A mark of your adventure, if you will. You wonder if your grandfather was much the same during his pilgrimage, although as you recall his sailed directly to Cathagi without stopping at Langland Fabio the Elder proves instrumental here, warding off hucksters and publicly belittling copper clippers that are too bold in their haggling. He also steers you clear of the rougher parts of town where you might encounter particularly daring pickpockets or worse. He also politely circumvents or defuses any potential repeat of your run-in with the town guards, not that they’re looking to hard at one more foreigner in the busy Langlish markets. >[COUNTER INTRIGUE AUTO-SUCCESS] Fabio finds you a street artist that specialises in depictions of the choice buildings around Capara. The pictures are not framed, but for a small fee the depictions themselves are covered in lacquer to preserve them. You doubt Father would hang them up in the main hall, Saints you hope not, but he’ll probably enjoy the half-dozen artistic pieces of architecture in one place or another in his study. Fabio and the street artist seem to know one another, but rather than taking advantage of you the man in fact hands what he considers to be his finest piece. For this you do have a frame fitted at another shop, Father will enjoy the signature image of the entirety of Capara as seen from the hill overlooking it and the docks. Mother is more difficult, as usual, but you eventually settle on a collection of pressed flowers being sold at a stall run by two farmgirls from out of town. Fabio gets you a discount on a few because apparently they are poisonous, from the mild rashes of the Fanciulla Orchid to the outright lethal Nera Lily. You decide to refrain from mentioning that this probably makes them all the more appealing to the Lady Andrei, he might get the wrong idea. For your older brother Damien, you get a flask of the finest Langlish wine available to compare to your family’s own Romani vintages. As future lord he should know how foreign markets might hold up against his own stock. [2/4]

Roselyn and Anastazja are easy, some items of fashion that don’t empty your purse too egregiously. You got them gloves last time, so you settle on an array of scarfs and handkerchiefs in the garish local Langlish colours. You pray to the Almighty they don’t actually wear such flamboyant foreign garbs fashions in public, though you wouldn’t past Roselyn to set a new local fashion in the Romani Courts. <span class="mu-i">‘Pascae gloves are so last season, Langlish scarfs are in’</span> and that sort of thing. Even among the renowned headstrong women of Romani nobility, you suspect she has well-established herself as defacto ruler of her own little clique. Anastazja less so, but if she really is getting engaged sometime in the future you will have to get her something nice then. Halina loves one thing and one thing only. Books. Mother has long resigned herself to securing a place in a convent rather than a marriage prospect. Not that she didn’t have enough children already to keep her busy on that front. A book is an expensive commodity, even small ones, though you do find a good price. It’s a thin book, but it’s cheap because it is in Cantônian and is a treatise on the various superstitions surrounding luck in Langlish customs. Your bookish little sister should appreciate that, or at the very least find it amusing. You immediately know what to get Maryla when two boys run past you in the street. Too young to even be Sognator initiates, they nonetheless cut a very fine figure playing with sticks in the flamboyant duelling cape you have seen some of the more well-to-do bravos sport. The local play ones made for children are cheap, gaudy and more concerned with flair than function. But such flair! She will love that, you’re sure. Mayhaps as much as the sterile Creeping Horror egg you sent back as a memento. Little Lenna and her twin Aleksy are too young to really appreciate anything token of note, in fact they’re barely past the age where they would chew or swallow on it. So for Lenna you get a doll in a frilly red dress and a mop of blonde hair, until Fabio helpfully points out that red is a colour favoured by the noted courtesans of the city. So much for <span class="mu-i">that.</span> You instead settle on a light blue one, not too dissimilar from the Andrei colours. For Aleksy, a wooden sword that is much the same as wooden swords anywhere in the world except the hilt of this is more like a rapier than a longsword. He’s such a quiet boy, Mother has already voiced her concerns he will grow up to be an insular and gloomy child. Hopefully a toy sword will encourage him to play more actively.>-20 Sequins [Wealth: 90 Sequins] [3/4]

Mikail is your squire, so he is being paid already in knowledge, experience and occasionally equipment you have no further use for. Brother Rousseau is a sworn brother of the Knights Comitas, and thus their charge rather than directly in your employ. But that does leave Orin and Jess. Orin is simple enough, you intend to pay him the same rate your father would offer an unskilled servant or fresh militiaman. Until he proves himself worthy of a higher payroll this arrangement is more than fair in your eyes, considering the circumstances of his hiring. Jess the Kid is trickier to figure out. In addition to having proven herself as a proficient marksman, she has demonstrated her skills as a tracker as well as having shown that she is more than capable of handling tasks requiring a degree of discretion. They have enjoyed your hospitality and protection during their travels in the realm of man where the Law of Adam reigns, but this is in part you fulfilling a life debt. As for wages, you doubt Jess even understands human currency beyond seeing men swap them for other things. Does a Fae even have use for coin? How do you know she won’t just flick her pay overboard one by one, like a child with pretty pebbles near a lake? ===================================>It is one thing to ensure safe passage, you are a man that pays your debts.

[Hearty] [0.3 Sequins p/day] [Fair Living: +0DC in Social Interactions, +0DC to Combat] While Emile can comfortably afford the VIP treatment, he is still on pilgrimage and should not be balling out like that. Enough to keep in fighting condition and no more
BTW this will be 0.3/day for 30 days = 9
So 90 - 9 = 81 to work with
Below are the purchases I think we cannot negotiate on:
>Purchases Sailor Gear (20)
Magic Trinket (10)
Bosun Guide (0.6/day for 30 days = 18)
Total of 48
81 - 48 = 33 to pay Orin and Jess
Orin will be (0.1/day for 30 days = 3)
Jess will be (0.2/day for 30 days = 6)
So we have 33 - 9 = 24 sequins left over to buy misc stuff
My market vote is for the 3 purchases I listed. I don't see anything else that we need for the trip, and as much as I would like a better sword for our man, I think making it to Cathagi in one piece with all of our things intact is much MUCH more important

Deck weather conditions do not affect combat DC >SELECTED: Token of Affection (-5 Sequins) +1 Courtship Save [single use] I belatedly realise ‘save’ was probably a little too powerful given the price. Let’s call it a Langlish special. >Remaining Wealth [60 Sequins] <span class="mu-s">Turnegan, 19th Day of Bacrimun, 883 A.C.E., Afternoon – Capara, Langland</span> It is your last day ashore and you’ve just about finished up at the dockside markets when Jess the Kid and Orin have returned from their own errands and minor escapades. Your manservant is clearly not at ease with your Fae companion, though you’re uncertain as to whether that is because he is suspicious as to her true nature or because of her stunning lack of contribution to any conversation. Jess for her part seems entirely unconcerned that she hasn’t made a friend in Orin, standing to one side inspecting the rope you recently purchased as Orin conveys the corroborative reports of movements in the armoury and dock areas confirming much of what you already know regarding the expansion and logistical planning being made by the various Freeblade companies. Thankfully Fabio isn’t in earshot when Orin relays this, but you make it evidently clear to your man the importance of avoiding any imprudence in these matters while you wrap up your final purchases. Rope, of a pedigree and firmness that would be the envy of any ‘landlubber’. Fingerless gloves for handling said rope, wear a poor man might make do with rags wrapped about his hands. A waterproof bag, made from seal apparently, so that your letters and other vulnerable material may be proof against the elements. A versatile knife specifically crafted to cut through cable and rope, along with a sharpener. A hammock, which you hope to replace your cot with and avoid the worst of the seasickness. That and a number of small others things that will doubtless come in handy for any would-be adventurer on the high seas. You refrained from expanding your purchases to higher tier tools that come with a cartographer licence, such as a compass or other expenses. You’re not charting a course or piloting the ship, just living on it. But hopefully the above items and a few other essentials should make any sea hardships more endurable. [1/2]

Forgotten QM !!cRQ2bB+8b3B ID:5icJTh3i Mon 26 Sep 2022 10:42:26 No. 5416046 Report [2/2] You look askance at Jess as she tugs a section of the cord between her hands several times. She gives you an approving nod, self-evidently pleased with the quality of the rope you’ve purchased as part of various items a sailor might find useful. She helps herself to some, and you decide to account that in her pay rather than try to explain the how’s and wherefores of purchasing something herself for now. Perhaps that is some obscure Fae custom, where the belongings of one member of their pack are considered the property of all. Or maybe Jess just has rather light fingers given her wildling upbringing. Nothing to remark upon now you suppose, you can certainly envision your agile tracker getting more use out of the rope than you. You bought something else, a little thing. It caught your eye in the lane further uphill in the town main, not far from the same garden where local suitors are supposed to walk through for good luck before asking making their advances. You don’t believe in such foreign superstitious nonsense of course. But perhaps it was that thought that allowed something like this to glimmer, figuratively or literally, in the periphery of your sight before catching your attention. You run your hand over the token, mind wandering back across the Westfold Waters to your homeland. The voyage ahead is not without its perils, danger and fortunes both foul and fair will assay you long before you ever reach Cathagi’s shores. Thoughts of the love of your family ease your mind, yes. The Angel’s hand steadies of course, but also at once terrifies you. You touch the favour folded in at the corner of your breast, you find the feel of it reassuring in an altogether different way. ============================================= (1) Favour>You doubt the Lady Frida Vancewell has spared you much more than a second thought.

Maybe... a fancy and finely wrought dagger, feminine but deadly, pretty to look at but still functional?

A smile to protect, a gentle warmth to offer succor when you are weary. A happy future, should you wish it. [Daubeny Favour] Considering that most of our nautical journey is ahead of us and that I doubt Forgotten would want us to get board, there will almost certainly be pirates. Combat is better than intrigue. Also, I would be surprised if we didn't have to demonstrate our skill in addition to presenting our recommendation to the Dragons Guard to get in(though the Favor we use may change by then). Plus we already chose Vancewell once and its too soon since we committed to courting both for us to focus one one, its too much fun.
As for a favor, something that would make her smile, so for it to be a happy smile instead of a sad smile, it must take her offguard.
>A fake flower, but unlike any we have seen It appears to be woven from silk and is so fine that you only realized that something was off about it. We might not be able to send Lady Daubney a flower across the sea every month, but this novelty should last till we return home and all the while its beauty will warm her heart. Some idiots at court if they see it may say that whoever got it for her is a cad for getting a fake flower, but anyone with an eye and sense will see the craftsmanship in it

Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if we get far enough into courting her we hear that she tried to kill Damien so that we would be the heir to our father's lands(and so she would have more direct access to it).

As I said, she would only attempt such a thing if she wished to marry us and believed we felt the same, so its a long way off, but who knows what other "obstacles" she would remove in addition to actual obstacles.

For real though I think she'd appreciate the blade. It's not going to be a big honking bowie knife but she's a deadly lady and its a good status symbol

>>5419321 Also I'd like to know about alcohol culture in the dukedoms and world in general. Like does each duchie have their own traditions or are they more standard. I assume beer and wine is a staple everywhere, but I imagine Favalon would have more of a culture of ciders and herbal bitters or liquors owing to the abundance of ingredients to be found in the forest. Is distillation a widespread thing, or are strong spirits rare? What about the church stance on alcohol, i know they see consumption in excess as a vice, but how much do they incorporate or encourage it in rituals and celebration? As a Scandinavian I'm used to it being a huge part of all holidays and festivals secular or otherwise, but i imagine more puritan places would frown on our level of consumption for holy occasions.
Also what type of sailors are the langlish ale's and gin? Wine and sweet liquors, rum and grog?
What do the cathargi drink? Do they have hookah as they seem like a blend of eastern Roman and Arabian/Persian with the coffee and stuff.
Also is tea a thing in the setting

[-15 Sequins] > Token now grants +2 SAVES to Courtship [single use each] You glance down at the exquisite slender dagger in your belt with some degree of trepidation, and not because you just spent half your remaining coin on it. It is not your typical courtly token of affection, but one you think would go over well with its intended target. Sent to the Lady Vancewell by itself however, without context, could very send entirely the wrong message. It could even result in the gift being sent back, with a murderous hired hand attached to it. You wouldn’t put it past her. No, you’ll keep a hold of the gift for now. At least until you’ve figured out exactly how you feel about your would-be rival and paramour. You’re still not entirely certain whether it is the woman herself that you’re attracted to, or more the daring risk involved in courting her. [1/5]

<span class="mu-s">Turnegan, 19th Day of Bacrimun, 883 A.C.E., Early Evening – Capara, Langland</span>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UY0i0NKX-t8&ab_channel=YannTiersen-Topic - Capara Resturant Theme (yes I know Amelie is french just go with it) It is your last evening ashore, and as promised you and your companions meet with Sir von Rhum at his chosen place of eating on a small hill overlooking the bay of Capara. Jess the Kid, Brother Rousseau and Mikail are all present, even Orin is making himself useful with the waiting staff and Fabio provides helpful translations on the appropriate choices for someone unused to the Langlish palate. To your surprise, Captain Verdicci has also made an appearance and is already tucking in to the first serving.
Father Towbray and Sister Ignatius are present as well, having ensured that their fellow pilgrims are accounted for and ready for departure in the morning. There was some trouble at the docks, a few rowdy Langlish types sought to make trouble for the pilgrims. The Reclamaints received more than the usual level of vitriol in response to their preaching and remonstrating with passers-by at the evident lack of morals. To your outrage, someone attempted to rob the Sisters of their alms intended for others. Father Towbray himself was accosted by a few sailors and daytalers exiting a whorehouse, however said individuals and the daring thieves both found themselves facing the full wrath of an avatar of the Knights Comitas. Brother Rousseau sits silently through the praises of both Towbray and Ignatius, humble as always, pausing only to accept another serving of tomaso sauce from Jess. The two have quickly settled back into their comfortable silence, but you make sure to thank the holy knight personally for his vigilance. You feel vindicated in having left the pilgrims in his care whilst you were ashore.
The restaurant itself holds an advantage not just in the stunning view of the town and sea from the deck, but also in the quantity and quality of their dishes. They specialise in seafood and generous servings of a certain wheat flour mixed with water and egg, boiled into strings or certain shapes. Black Garlic Prawn, Smoked Eel ‘Carbonerra’, Lobster ‘Tagilini’ and a number of either challenged foreign palates. It’s all a bit much for your taste, but your companions seem to be enjoying themselves and you listen to your squire indulgently in between mouthfuls of his meal.

<span class="mu-i">“I learnt so much my head is dizzy, but I won’t forget none of what you told me. I won’t never forget your kindness neither, Sir von Rhum.”</span> Mikail of Andryski is buzzing with energy, between mouthfuls of the local delicacies. That boy can really shovel things away. Finishing his meal in some sort of record, he offers a bashful look at the Trident knight. <span class="mu-i">“But I’d like to continue squiring for milord Sir Andrei, ifn' you don’t mind.”</span> You and Sir von Rhum look at Mikail a moment, then at each other, before the both of you burst into fits of unrestrained laughter. <span class="mu-i">“Sorry, milords. I weren’t jesting. Sir Andrei needs a squire for his pilgrimaging business.”</span> Mikail frowns, completely misreading your reactions. Nonetheless he stubbornly rallies in the face of the combined merriment of his superiors. <span class="mu-i">“ ‘Sides, Da would tan me hide if I let the Lord’s son run off to foreign deserts and whatnot all alone.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“Stop, I beg! Yield!”</span> You cry, clutching your ribs. It takes a minute, but eventually you recover your composure. <span class="mu-i">“Hahahaha! Ahhh… what say you, sir? Can you afford to part with your newfound protégé?”</span> <span class="mu-i">“Oh, well. Hmph. <span class="mu-s">Highly</span> unusual.”</span> Sir von Rhum guffaws in between his attempts at putting a serious face on. <span class="mu-i">“Can’t say I’ve ever been turned down by a prospective squire before. But I suppose, if you really can’t do without him...”</span> <span class="mu-i">“Don’t say like that, it will go straight to the lad’s head.”</span> You rolls your eyes, before patting the beaming squire on the back roughly. <span class="mu-i">“Welcome back, Mikail. We begin sparring the moment we cast off, you can show me what you’ve learnt.”</span> You are satisfied to see his smile falter just a bit, but your squire’s beaming mood seems none at all diminished in the main run of things. Reginae wept, you’re really starting to care for the boy. But he does sometimes say the daftness things. The evening passes in laughter and good cheer as the setting sun over the Langlish mainlaind casts the bay waters in a delightful orange glow. Conversation ebbs as your people pause in their meals and watch the last fisherman tuck into the bay for the night, the cry of seagulls plain over the gentle crashing of the waves below. It is in this moment, with the majority of your party at ease and somewhat distracted, that Captain Verdicci suggests you join him for a nightcap a little way aways from the deck. [3/5]

right? 3.This could lead to more Intel we can send off to Robert if we find something
4.I want to see where this leads & I'm curious how our captain of all people got assigned to such a sensitive matter, if this proves high up its likely we could use some measure of him for bouncing goods back to Canton.

Mikail for his part seems a little bemused as to why you’re out here this late, in the wet and armed for battle. In truth you’ve not much of a notion yourself, from what Verdicci told you this seems to all come back to the Giorgios and Morettis, and perhaps some third party. Or at least he told you something like that, he did mention his ex-wife is now seeing a Moretti naval officer these days. Or it’s the complete opposite, and this is some sort of revenge on his part.

>>5422537 Well for one thing the concept of plausible deniability exists. Sure, it's masterwork armour, but if there is no heraldry how can they prove it was OUR masterwork armour on this dark night. Especially given our reputation for honour and chivalry.
As for reprecussions, I'm sure the Langlish have spies and assassins as competent as those of Canton. If we're going to involve ourselves in the dirty deeds against some of the more powerful houses of Langland, it would be best not to go around outright advertising it. Doing so is going to rub salt in the wound and be insulting. It's as good as bragging, especially considering people will likely be talking about the "Bear of a Cantonian knight, who came in like a powerful morning gale in his masterwork armour and heraldry and defeated a renowned Bravo without a scratch on him"
Not wearing our easily recognizable heraldry is a single, simple step we can take to help prevent this from all getting out of hand.
Anonymous
>>5422543 it's a half measure that won't actually shield us from any repercussions. sure by removing our heraldry we could possibly maybe prevent political consequences but in the realm of intrigue and assassins 'plausible deniability' doesn't count for squat

[Idealist] >Heater Shield REMOVED >Masterwork Full-Plate REMOVED >Breastplate and Helm EQUIPPED >Wooden Shield EQUIPPED It is perhaps not a promising sign that you felt the need to dress down for this occasion than stand proud in your full knightly regalia, but too many would likely readily recognise you after having made a name for yourself with the bravos in Punto Plaza. There are few souls out this late in the drizzle indeed, but the risk is still not to your liking. You’re not entirely sure how much anyone would care about your involvement, but you’d prefer not to find out.
A nameless, unadorned foreign hedge knight on the other hand, will garner no such attention. Verdicci approved of you opting for a more discrete adornment and lent you a wooden shield, though the Heir of Ursen totem sits comfortably beneath your breastplate. The Langlish have their good luck suspicions, you have your own. You can only help the dip in pride and protection both are worth it, there are far more gaps in this piece than you had previously realised. Hopefully you won’t be facing any more bravo blademasters, which seems to be the case if Captain Verdicci’s lookouts have the right of it.

Most sidle up against the wall of the alley with you taking up be rear, but one or two huddled under doorways or awnings in the street itself. To the unperceptive eye, one might take them at a glance for tavern goers recently ejected from the locale or beggars fortunate enough to afford a cloak.
Heads downturned to conceals the masks, daggers and all manner of steel wrapped under the capes drawn about them in the rain. To your eyes, and to the eyes of any sensible onlooker, this collection ne’er-do-wells could not paint a more villainous picture. What does it say about you to consider yourself in their company? Maybe you should have insisted on more questions regarding the nature of this job, despite the Captain Verdicci not striking you as a villain. He <span class="mu-i">seemed</span> earnest, not the type of man to kill just for coin or fancy. But this hardly falls into his usual fare so there is likely some ulterior motive, you suspect it has something to do with the ex-wife angle. Romantic in a warped way you suppose, but you have known some men to do very stupid things for love.

Forgotten QM !!cRQ2bB+8b3B ID:6PjDaypb Mon 03 Oct 2022 13:14:25 No. 5423331 Report [2/2] You’re beginning to have serious second thoughts, but the hour is nigh. The sound of horse and the crack of a whip reach your ears, punctuated by the click and spin of the wheels. It takes the corner and enters into your sight, a dark silhouetted carriage with black curtains drawn tight over the windows, two armoured guards in red/black livery sit up in the driver seat and another two at their posts on the back. The carriage is coming faster than one would consider safe, certainly not safe for any pedestrians that might have been walking the streets when it came about that exact moment. But the guards seem glum and grim-faced in the rain, rather than panicked or alarmed. At the agreed moment, a shaft erupts in between the neck and shoulder of the driver. You don't hear the clack of the shot in the rain, or see the shooter, all you see is the whip flicking from the target's right hand and reins wrapped tight around his left and pulled up. The man keels back in his seat with a gurgle and carriage horses pull up short with an indignant shriek. That was a crossbow bolt, not Jess’ work. Verdicci must have another man in the rooftops, and judging by the man’s aim he’s really splashed out for this ambuscade. Quick as you like one of the sailor crew steps out from his spot in the street and grabs the reins. The carriage horses rear and snort, but unlike a warhorse of Hannibal’s pedigree they are not bred to snap and bite at anyone who grabs their reins. The carriage steadies, coming to a complete halt with the remaining guards milling in confusion as the ambushers stream out into the street. Four guards. Well, three now. Just like Verdicci said, which shows promise for how smooth this will all go. =================================================>They outnumber the remaining carriage guards about two-to-one. With the element of surprise it hardly seems a fair fight, nor one requiring your personal attention. You content yourself with directing Jess the Kid to take down the fourth carriage guard from a distance. [Haughty] > Time to get stuck in, you move forward and engage the fourth carriage guard. The quicker this is done, the quicker you all get out of here. It also makes it far less likely that one of the attackers will become a casualty, making them a burden in the getaway at best or evidence at worst. [Hearty] > You bide your time, watching the Like yourself and Mikail, Jess is part of your rentinue and hence part of the reserve. You conserve your energy and attention for any reserve force that may respond to the ambush, but part of it is you don’t really want to draw your blade for coin. [Idealist]

The range is short and the high angle means there is no arc to the plummet of the shaft. At this range, a shot with the right arrowhead can pierce even full-plate. The arrow sticks into the guard at the rear of the combat in the breastplate, halfway up to the fletching. His body slams into the side of the carriage, sending it jolting and further panicking the screaming horses. It’s not a kill shot, the man is struggling to stay upright even as his blood leaves a smear on the carriage door, but he’s all but out of the fight. Not Jess’s finest shot, but it seems to have done the job. One of the ambushers, a short burly man that has the build of a brawler rather than a bravo, reaches the leftmost side of the carriage. He rips open the carriage door as his comrades move to finish off the last guard, only to stop dead in his tracks. You don’t see what happens inside, but you do hear a high-pitched whine coming from the direction of the carriage. With a sudden shock you realise that the noise is emanating from the attacker himself. In front of your very eyes, cracks appear in his body stiffening and the man tilts back from the side of the carriage with one and reaching out as if frozen in time. When body hits the cobblestone it shatters, cloth and flesh alike, as if it were fine glass. [1/2]

Even if you had never seen them before in the College of Admirals, even if you had not seen magik most foul used to kill a man in such an unnatural way, you would have some notion of what you faced here. A member of the dreaded sorcerous caste of Langlish society. <span class="mu-s">Inferni</span>.
<span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-g">“Inferni! Infern-“</span></span> Verdicci’s crewmember gags suddenly, clawing at his throat with bulging eyes. The unfortunate man seems to shrivel up, aging several decades in as many seconds. The reigns slip from his lifeless, desiccated fingers and the carriage horses shy away. The carriage jolts backs, the horses directionless without their deceased driver to urge them forward.
Judging from the very audible and very colourful curse being muttered by Captain Verdicci, an actual Inferni being present in the Coven carriage was not part of the plan. The magik user in question removes their hand from the side of the carriage and steps out into the open in the dwindling drizzle, clearly unimpressed with the four remaining attackers shirking back to the edge of the street. Magik users are tolerated in your homeland as a necessity, sometimes. But to use such unnatural arts to kill? Even the King's own Royal Sorceress would be burnt at the stake, and rightly so.
Two men horribly dead, and the thing has not even drawn the sword at its side.

[Hearty] + [Combat start: Belligerent / Audacious] Seeing as we're fighting a magic user who's not drawn his blade yet, I think we should begin with an audacious attack to maximise our chances of damage before we have to go on the defensive. The wording of his spell's effect makes me think the increased AV would be useless in any case. Best to gamble on scoring a big hit in the first move. Also, "you have no wish to give them time to cast their next spell" makes me think we'll have the initiative with this option.

It seems like my apprehensions about this job were unfounded, since i suspect the target of our rescue mission got a letter from Hogwarts, so to speak. It makes perfect sense that their parents wouldn't want them to become a sterile weirdo, and conveniently, it also means our cause is righteous.

>>5419344 >pic related Cool hobby anon! Very wholesome.
>>5419353 I think we have covered previously that Romaine is very big on their wines, whereas as in Montbrun they specialise in whiskeys. Other Duchies have their own variants, but a connoisseur knows the strongest spirits hail from the mountainous duchy. Aubres dominates in grain-based alcohol, whereas Fallavon doesn't have an alcohol industry per-se, it would vary widely in the nature of ciders and liquors available depending on where you are but it is usually local use rather than done on to an extent where it is widely exported. Pascae benefits from all of the above as a trade powerhouse, but it's not as though the alcohol of one particular duchy is available anywhere else for a price except in times of extreme instability. Norsikaa values honey mead, but Fallavon is actually better known for it quality wise to men of taste. Langland provinces have locally sources wines and such, but are usually out-competed in foreign markets on that sector by Romani brands. I'll admit I hadn't covered Cathagi alcohol culture, focusing on khave etc. It's not taboo but isn't nearly as prevalent as it is in the northern nations compared to other vices, which would includes but goes a bit harder than just hookah.
While there is not a communion in church das as such, most annual festivals are inherently affiliated with some religious significance and alcohol typically features to one degree or another. As we saw in the Motte-Fallavon vigil the main festival (not the Blue Lantern vigil which Sir Andrei participated in) was basically a massive piss-up lasting several days.
Members of most Holy Orders such as the Broken Blade and Knights Comitas would forswear alcohol except in moderation at certain holy festival days. As you've surmised consumption to excess is considered a vice.
I don't think I've accidentally already casually mentioned tea somewhere in this quest, but I'll say now that it is not a thing
at least not in the areas of the world covered by mapbro. Anonymous

>>5425119 The equivalent of it, I suppose. I've been trying to toe the line between familiarity and specifying local flora too specifically, the idea of unconnected fantasy worlds having the exact same types of flora and fauna as us where many are the result of centuries of designed horticulture or animal husbandry can sometimes trip me up.
So I might say 'they herd prized cattle here' but I will try to avoid 'they herd Hereford cattle here, but you can find Red Angus meats in the nearby town'.
None of which addresses the question of whether your brother is a stoner after hanging out too much with his libtard bluejay friends and their fae dealers.

Your totem blessed by the Heir of Ursen is uncomfortably hot against your chest. The carriage horses, still terrified, pause for breath to rear as best in their harness to flail their hooves. Men, hard men that have killed and had others try to kill them more times than they can count, flinch in the face of this new foe and slink back to the edge of the narrow lane. Even Captain Verdicci, a verbose and fearless man by your reckoning, is deathly pale.
There is a moment, a second between the halt of the rain, the scream of the horses, the terrified curses of men scared beyond their wits. In that second there is almost silence. Silence, almost, but for the thud of steel boot on stone as you thunder towards your sorcerous Foe with all the power and relentless will of a Montbrun avalanche.

Swords are more consistent, while flails are more fit to snowball.

>>5427887 >>5427883 >>5427876 We can go for the halberd/buckler combo for a net positive of +5 Combat DC while keeping our AV the same, but that would mean we can't use our shield. It's a great option if we want to stay on a low budget since it will only cost 45 sequins. Otherwise we might want to swing for the more expensive bastard sword, maybe masterwork if we happen to be paid incredibly well or are partially reimbursed for our sword for a cost of 90 sequins (or 140 if we splurge). Though I'm not sure we would even have the time to really go get any of this stuff tonight to be honest.

The onlookers are left in awe and shock as this plain looking knight resists the fell sorceries and strikes down the witch. But why did he do it? Is he a phantom of a past victim of the Inferni, returned to reap a bloody revenge? Or perhaps a manifestation prayed into this world by the Eastern God-Botherers?
Or perhaps a man sent to save a child meant for the Covens, to spare it a grim future of isolation and social scorn? Agh, the stories write themselves. Maybe the famous Langlish playwright Gugliemo Crollanza will immortalise him in one of his tragedies? Who knows.

After this job he can provide partial reimbursement to you for the expense, this mission would doubtless have failed but for your intervention. You will not stoop to looting a sorcerer corpse freshly made. [Idealist] You have to finish this before your sorcerous opponent can cast another invocation, or worse, more of his fell ilk arrive as reinforcements. You rush forward again, dirk held tight and a prayer to the Angel on your lips for their protection. This is not the hour for caution. The Angel listens, the warping energies that slink out hungrily towards you do not bite and tear and rend. You feel an unnatural coolness, discomfort and numb where the unholy powers touch, but no pain or dismemberment like the other unfortunates before you. The Heir of Ursen amulet pulses once and the leeching energies wrapping around your forearm dissipate and die. You slam into sorcerer, pinning their body against the Coven carriage door and trapping the blade against the press of your hip. The killer-mage lets out a choking grasp as your left hand attains a vice like grip around their throat, his daze turns to short-lived panic as the point of the dirk licks inwards. And <span class="mu-s">stab and stab and stab and stab.</span> Shred of his unseelie protections or ability to banish your cold steel, the hooded warlock dies like any other. The carriage shakes with each thrust. By the end of it, the warlock’s punctured black cloak is soaked through with blood that continues to seep out into the street between the wet cobblestones. [1/3]

Your right vambrace, front of your breastplate and right leg are entirely red, the corpse of the sorcerer hanging limply half off the ground, your hand still clasped around their neck. Captain Verdicci and his hirelings stare at you, awestruck. You’re not sure if the slaying of an Inferni is some unheard-of feat here, or rather it was the apparent ease with which you did so. In either case, no one aside from Mikail comes to your side for a few moments. He seems heedless of the corpses, but he does give the scattered glass-flesh of the fallen hireling a wide berth. Blade still drawn and keeping one eye on the streets, your squire proffers a flask of water. <span class="mu-i">“That’s the last of them, milord.”</span> You wave away the drink, best not reveal your face to quench your thirst until you’re well away from here. <span class="mu-i">“What now?”</span> <span class="mu-i">“Now? We get what we came for I assume.”</span> This last sentence is directed more at the Captain than your leal squire. The man is at last getting over his shock and stirring into motion and ordering his remaining hires to watch the street. The Captain approaches the carriage himself, sparing a sad glance for the withered husk of his crewman by the somewhat calmer horses. He checks to make sure the others are out of earshot before speaking in hushed tones. <span class="mu-i">“That was something else, <span class="mu-g">L’Orso Tempesta.”</span></span> He offers you a deferential nod, much more respectful now that he’s seen you in action, before tapping on the side of the carriage door. <span class="mu-g"><span class="mu-i">“Forza ragazzo, ti portiamo fuori di qui.”</span></span> [2/3]

You’re not sure what kind of passenger you had expected, but a boy that has yet to see his tenth winter was not it. <span class="mu-i">“A child?”</span> You ask, feeling the adrenaline now wearing off.

You had assumed that the Captain would turn them over to those who hired him, or arrange some sort of safehouse until ransom or something of the sort could be arranged.

True to his word, the Captain is open with you and begins his tale nearly a decade ago with the failure of his marriage and the follies of his youth. He could never say no to a pretty face, which oft included her but also others. It is a lot of information, most of which you do not believe is of any relevance to last night’s escapades beyond cementing in your eyes that the man clearly has still has some regard for his wife-that-was. His ex-wife remarried, and remarried well, some 8 or so years ago into the Moretti family. Soon after they had a son, a gifted boy that did well in his tutoring and knew nothing of the past of his mother outside of the Moretti family. Captain Alfonso Verdicci’s new cabin boy is the only child to his ex-wife and her husband, Constanso Moretti. Which would make him the nephew of none other than the admiral of the Langlish 7th Fleet, Antonio Moretti. The child is practically Langlish royalty. <span class="mu-i">“But when he demonstrated a talent for the arcane a few months ago… well, <span class="mu-g">quello era quello</span>. ”</span> Verdicci snaps his fingers, explaining that the Inferni Coven routinely test children for magical talent and induct any that show promise into their ranks. The career path is by no means optional. <span class="mu-i">“Not even La Famigla can defy the Inferni in this, it is the one thing on which the Coven does not budge. I must swear to you that I did not expect the presence of one of the sorcerers in the flesh that night. We were told that all their initiates must pass their trial at San Vittore, of which I hear many do not survive. My understanding was that until they are proven, the accredited Inferni do not take any active role in their training.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“You think this Moretti boy was gifted?”</span> You eye the 8-year-old waif scrubbing the foredeck on his hands and knees, unsure if you’re waiting to see if the tacit-mage burst into flames or if you’re musing on whether your own homeland tests for the ‘gift’ in a similar manner. <span class="mu-i">“Talented enough in their ways to justify a more direct hand in his training?”</span> [3/4]

Or our informant was not worth nearly as much as we were paying him.”</span> The man offers an unconcerned shrug. <span class="mu-i">“Who is to say? What I do know is that it is no life for a child, they say the gift grants power in exchange for life. Better he live the life of adventure for a time than become just another hood, yes? Besides, his mother asked.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“And you never could say no to a pretty face.”</span> Your wry remark earns you another wide grin in turn. <span class="mu-i">“Ah, so you were listening? Yes, but others also I think. This kind of work called for a lot of coin, and the Morettis are not poor. The husband? He was involved yes, I think. The uncle? Big Boots Moretti himself? I do not know.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“So… I am an open book to you know, sir knight.”</span> The Captain holds out his harms expressively, that easy smile still resting on his face. <span class="mu-i">“What says my reader?”</span> ==========================================> “I am glad to hear you are no villain. But I must admit to having second thoughts on my decision to get involved.” Mercenary work is beneath you, it’s the work of a common sellsword and does not behove an anointed knight. All other matters aside, you’re getting a headache thinking of how Sir Gilbern might react. You will turn down mercenary work in the future except for the most above-the-board postings of prestige like the Dragon Guard. > “Cain on the Cross, man. If you had just told me this beforehand you would have had my sword, coin or no.” Mercenary work sat ill with you, even if the cause was arguably just.

You will be more careful in your inquiries in the future, but you will not turn your nose up at mercenary work should it present itself. [Idealist]

I suppose in future we should be far more selective and informed about the oaths and work we engage in be it the Dragon guard, our work with Gilbern or our comrades and allies though I suppose that could be a shift away from Idealism towards taciturn cyncism if we treat people with such distrust.

>>5430701 I mean I feel like almost every action he has taken up until tonight says otherwise. He's commented multiple times on the unworthiness and copper clipperiness of mercenary work, has helped people out of the goodness of his own heart and honour and has taken the righteous path when we could have easily had a pay day instead.
I think it was anon specifically, not really the character Emile that was looking for a fight and a chance to get more coin. Obviously everything we choose is what Emile chooses and blah blah every option given is in character but it's all about degrees and shifts.
Emile can be pragmatic, taking what he has won from the battlefield or accepting coin for a deed well done, and he is by no means perfect and point (as noted by our thorns points), but I think he is through and through a pretty strong idealist and generally bent away from mercenary work.
Even the Dragon Guard, whilst technically mercenary work is a highly prestigious thing for a knight to do and currently a convenient way to remove ourselves from the political picture and prevent the destruction of our house all whilst possibly aiding the realm by passing on info.

>>5430704 I'll agree its a new facet of Emile that hasn't been well explored yet since many of our adventures have been at least well intended if not virtuous and this one was dubious at best and motivated by an empty purse as much as the prospect of heroic action.
Honestly if the mercenary work was so intwined with copperclipping I don't think Emile would have made it halfway to Cathaggi already.

>>5431844 >>5431845 >>5431848 >3 SUCCESS: Message from the Skies. Your courier not only reaches the destination in remarkable time, but singles out the intended recipient personally. The message has gone straight from your hand to their eyes, with no one in between. A remarkable feat. Neatly done, that's going to impress both Sir Gilbern and anyone else that happens be around when Courageous Sky makes their entrance. Nothing screams 'this is one important knigga' more than having a Griffinhawk courier deliver a message directly into their hands. And, of course, there is absolutely zero risk of compromise to that information.
This will be the last vote of the thread coming up. While I understand the charting of your voyage is actually Captain Verdicci’s call, I think it’s suitable (and fun) to give you some input here. You are big boys, so I’m not going to hold your hand and give out clues with respect to the pros and cons of each route. I think that’s been disseminated for those that have been paying attention.
I will still hang around this thread and answer questions, both those I’ve missed in the last few updates and any new ones you have. And of course, I welcome discussion and feedback.

>>5431856 >>5387209 >The Coy Siren will head East by South-East to the Cantôn coastline, following it until a short dash across the Cathagi Strait and to Nova Cathagi itself. [East by South-East] I will personally be voting for this one, not because I think it might be the safest route due to the shallow waters, but because we can head back to Romaine and show our new Captain friend where he can do Trade deals with the Andrei's/Vidra's/Norveski's with a letter of recommendation. More ships means more power and funds to build up the safety of Andrei lands. If we had courageous sky we could have had a Romaine port to send to, but oh well.
The Tempest Isle route seems the most dangerous considering how much deep water we would pass over, and would be the furthest from land if there was an issue, plus sea monsters. The Strait route seems like medium danger due to some time in deep water and a variety of small islands which could probably house some pirates.
Be aware that we are down some DC due to the loss of our blade. So difficult combat might not be in the cards.

>>5431880 Thanks
as for choices going by the Canton shoreline could give us the opportunity to check out the Covenant that was apparently attacked way back in like thread 3 or 4 though honestly a lot of time has passed since then so I don't know if we'd find anything worth investigating, their may also be the low threat of Corsairs
Going directly through the Cathagi strait is probably the fastest route but also the most perilous even in autumn and sea dragons might be a threat.
Going south spares us the strait but may but us at the mercy of Corsairs and the temptation of
forbidden lore I think I'll mull it over a bit personally.

[East by South-East] Safety of the pilgrims come first. I refuse to put lives under our charge at risk to chase glory in slaying some sea-snakes.
While we may make a stop at Canton briefly, I doubt it will be enough time to sail ALL the way to Romaine

>>5431964 The reason I think we will get to Romaine using the Canton route is that it is the shortest crossing point to Nova Cathagi, as it is literally south of it.

I should be clear, you will not journey ‘home’ as in to Andrei lands proper. You will follow a portion of the Pascae, Aubrey and a bit of Romaine coastline before crossing the Southern Sea. Your stay in a Romaini port would be more akin to a pit stop with very little time ashore, if any.

>>5431856 I might as well ask, but approximately where would Andrei lands be on the map?

>>5432316 Is it a coincidence that the Vancewells, Montbrune's and I think Alderauge all have a Pegasi as their heraldry or is their an implication there?
Also are there any famous feuds in Canton similar to say the Brackens & Blackwoods from Game of thrones or the Campbell's and McDonald's of Scotland?

Not that it matters since I got it wrong and the Vancewell's are a bull on yellow.
