Forgotten QM !!cRQ2bB+8b3B ID:1CU/JdSU Fri 04 Nov 2022 08:07:42 No. 5451872 Report <span class="mu-s">Many years from now, not far from home…</span>
It is well into the evening at the tavern by the road, and the place has grown lively indeed with hands from the kitchen delivering warm meals and the mead flowing freely. Nothing pleases a crowd like the tale of a good perilous sea voyage, and it doesn’t take long to get the inngoers singing and chanty a sea shanty like trueborn Langlish sailors.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zBm_6IfInY&ab_channel=UbisoftMusic – Langlish Sea Shanty<span class="mu-i">”And it's windy weather, boys, stormy weather, boys
When the wind blows, we're all together, boys
Blow ye winds westerly, blow ye winds, blow
Jolly sou'wester, boys, steady she goes”</span>
The troubadour leaps up onto the main table as he strings his lute, laughter spluttering from the audience as the seated patrons scramble to move their plates and cups out of his kicking feet.
<span class="mu-i">“Up jumps the eel with his slippery tail
Climbs up aloft and reefs the topsail”</span>
The bard pauses, pointing out to the clapping onlookers to pick up the chorus. They do so most enthusiastically, typically getting the words completely wrong and with none of the Langlish lilt, but the spirit is there. One might be forgiven that these were in fact a crew on shore leave rather than dusty farmhands and milkmaids at the end of a day’s work.
<span class="mu-i">“And it's windy weather, boys, stormy weather, boys
When the wind blows, we're all together, boys
Blow ye winds westerly, blow ye winds, blow
Jolly sou'wester, boys, steady she goes”</span>
The night is young and the ale flows freely, even the burly innkeep is nodding along to the song while manning his station at the bar. The smile on the bard widens, the shine of his teeth glinting for a moment in the firelight. He decides to see if they can make this a real night to remember.

Forgotten QM !!cRQ2bB+8b3B ID:N0L8gglj Sat 05 Nov 2022 05:51:54 No. 5452675 Report Sir Rabe isn’t sure exactly what his father means, given that this snakemen upset will of course be crushed soon enough, scales and all, but he’s glad to see him move on from his daughter being wilful again. If Pa really disapproved really, the halls of Castle Rabe would definitely have heard of it by now. Or at least the echoes. If she is wilful as a result, so be it. Every man among them would lose their right hand before seeing her shed a tear. Young Lady Brunhilde Rabe typically gets what she wants, at least from her family, and right now it seems she wants to get married to the pretty southern boy. Ma would be happy to see her happy, and that is enough. None of this is said between the two gruff Montbrun mountain men, such talk of feelings and wishy washiness belongs in the halls of soft southerners. Real men have better topics to discuss, such as war.

2. Unless some other duke is known for lots of mountains that's the implication of certain statements in fallavon

>>5452677 >>write-in travel to neighboring duchies to gather knights errand second sons or the like and invite them to come and win glory and renown against the snakefiends. show them how dire the threat is by showing them the refugees and fight to keep the passes clear. [Hearty] Division of labor, one brother at home, one to help the dukedom at large, one already dead in the wastes, and one to rally support from the southern dandies.
Also something should probably be done about the refugee situation, maybe see if they can be employed as guides or irregulars for the parties beyond the gates. Alternatively they could maybe be routed into Romaine, with permission of course, seeing as I suspect there is always a need for more manpower to battle the constant attrition of the deadmen, and larger population would mean more land can be reclaimed and held. But these things seem above the head of our battle bro, could be something for sister dearest to work out with her fiance, two snakes with one swing as they say as having the new son-in.-law help with the refuges might endear him to father crow.
Also really want to see the interaction between Hans and lord Andrei. i can just imagine Rabe them bonding over being border lords who regularly have to hold the line against the foes of man, and of course the ego stroking when beardad gushes and raves over the magnificence of the Törwatcher gates and it's design and upkeep.

For the most part the respective captains seem content to keep their distance, even these heavily patrolled waters aren’t entirely free from piracy. One Cantônian Cog does comes close enough for waves and shouts to be exchanged as you pass the other pay, and just two days ago a Langlish galleon dwarfing your own ship pulled up close enough to make the crew uncomfortable, but pulled away once the correct flag signals had been exchanged.
An interesting means of distinguishing honest traders from pirate types, but one that could surely be subject to abuse if a merchantman was taken and forced to divulge the current passing signals. Captain Alfonso assures you that such concerns are probably why the galleon pulled up as close as it did, implying that the man is familiar enough with the Langlish officers in these waters for them to know him by sight.
It has been fair weather this last week, and the Captain expects to reach the Cantôn Coastline in another week if the weather holds. From there, weather will be less of a concern than pirates, a cove that will shelter a ship from a storm will just as easily conceal a buccaneer from its prey as opposed to open waters.

Forgotten QM !!cRQ2bB+8b3B ID:EQhLMBoT Sun 06 Nov 2022 13:58:45 No. 5453964 Report https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8EQxFtQs1c&ab_channel=BrianTyler-Topic – Across the Westfold Waters Each week during the voyage will see a call for rolls for how the weather fares in the following week at sea. As you have taken the most circuitous route by hugging to as much coastline as possible, the ill effects of bad weather can be mitigated. The tradeoff is the length of time the journey will take (EST 7-9 weeks) and the likelihood of running afoul pirates. There is little chance of encountering sea monsters in the coastline waters, but not zero.

What is ocean bounty? Mermaids? Sirens? Wreck ed ships? Sea beasts? Eldritch horrors seeking to impart knowledge to mortal minds? Were islands never discovered by man? A relic of the brothers? A treasure map in a bottle?
Anonymous
>>5454054 Multiple use, yes. So if we can get a single pass, it'll potentially allow us to snowball to better results. I'm fairly nervous about a failure cascade where a single week of bad rolling sends our DC into the deep end.
>>5454063 1) Double Pass (<23) = Gentle Currents. As below, negates any loss this week from Foul Winds.
2) Double Pass (>23) = Fair Winds. Gain +1d6 Days Progress. Ocean Bounty becomes more likely.
3) Pass = Swift Sailing. +1 Day progress. DC next week increases by 5DC.
4) Fail = Slow Sailing. +1 Day progress. DC next week decreases by 5DC.
5) Double Fail (<87) = Foul Winds. Lose -1d6 Days progress. Terrible Storm becomes more likely.
6) Double Fail (>87) = Rough Seas. As above, with possible equipment loss/damage and harm to companions.
A 11 or 22 will activate effects: 1, 2 & 3.
A 33 or 44 will activate effects: 2 & 3.
Any other passing result will just be 3.
88 & 99 (lol faekiss shiet, etc) will activate: 4, 5 & 6.
55, 66 & 77 will activate: 4 & 5.
Any other failure result will activate 4.

<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-i">Tunegan, 1st Day of Hastrimun</span></span>
The holy women from the Cantôn pilgrim contingent held a special service to mark a day of significance for one of their many saints. It remains unclear whether this was the day of one of their supposed miracles or the saint’s martyrdom. A few of the crew observed and made some obeisance, which was not begrudged of them. Sailors take comfort in their own small superstitions as they see fit, I see no reason why this cannot include the big ones.
<span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">Wenegan, 2nd Day of Hastrimun</span></span>
A flock of seagulls passed us by, a sign that the coastline cannot be too far away. That or my instruments have severely misled us and we have strayed far south and near to one of the few rocky isles out in the Westfold proper. But I am inclined to doubt this given that another sail was briefly sighted well ahead of us and moving in the same direction. Benicio, the lookout on duty, was granted an extra ration of rum for his keen eyes.
<span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">Turnegan, 3rd Day of Hastrimun</span> </span>
Land spotted by the lookout this afternoon, we will make the Cantôn coastline by this evening. The weather continues to hold.

<span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">Fenegan, 4th Day of Hastrimun</span> </span>
We reached the coastline of Cantôn before midday, a sight that caused no small cheer in the crew but also what I assume to be homesickness in the pilgrim passengers. One hopes that this fair weather continues to remain in our favour.
<span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">Sendag, 5th Day of Hastrimun</span> </span>
A dispute between a pilgrim accusing a sailor of thievery was settled by the Storm Bear before the intervention of myself or my first mate was necessary. Sir Andrei has spoken with me regarding the matter, reimbursing the pilgrim’s missing belonging. A drunk Norsikaan outcast Jorre may be, but he denies the misdeed and there is no proof of the act beyond the accusation of the victim and one other pilgrim. I must side with my crewman in this, but I have none too subtly reminded all of the men that our passengers are not to be mistreated.
<span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">Sandag, 6th Day of Hastrimun</span></span>
We made good progress today, passing by the Cantôn city of Calais that marks the southern border of their westernmost Duchy. First Mate Yori reports a rumour from the men that the knight’s silent archer was spotted idly tossing coins into the sea from the prow of the ship. It seems peculiar, even by the standards of sailors, but may require some attention. It is his business how much he pays his men, but wanton waste of wealth in front of the crew can prove demoralising if it persists.
<span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">Monegan, 7th Day of Hastrimun</span></span>
The winds have cooled their heels, but our progress is thankfully not much slowed. We’re frequently passing frequent ships along the coastline almost every day, similar Captain’s that have traded the security of solitude for the sanctuary offered by the numerous coves along this route.
I mentioned yesterday’s laughable report to the Cantônian knight concerning his archer’s unique spending habits. I had expected humour but he instead seemed so perturbed by the news he excused his servant boy from today’s exertions to speak with their charge at length. My grasp of the language was not up to the details of their conversation regarding basic barter and economics, but surely even the most backwater Cantôn hamlet has seen a coin at some point?

<span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">Tunegan, 8th Day of Hastrimun</span></span>
The male warrior priest, a knight and a holy man both in their strange custom, has become involved in the archer incident. There are no more reports of skipping coins in the sea waves, instead it seems the archer has become an avid gambler. This shared vice has done much to win them over to the crew. A new rumour has started, as they can be expected, that the archer is in fact a woman in disguise. I’ve asked Yori to encourage the men to refrain from spreading such are harmful rumour, given I understand warrior women as taboo in Cantôn custom as it is in Langland.
<span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">Wenegan, 9th Day of Hastrimun</span></span>
Another day of ordinary weather, if this takes a turn for the worst we will have to consider taking shelter in one of the many coves. This is not my preferred course, a ship in shelter can also prove to be trapped by a lurking buccaneer.
The Cantôn knight was heard to mutter and thrash about in his sleep last night, the noise being heard from his rack in the spare room by the cabin boy on night watch. Apparently, the knight’s servant later refused Yori entry into the cabin, assuring him these fits typically passed quickly. Hardly worth noting in the log, except Yori reports that the knights servant boy had a sheathed sword in his hand when he answered the door.
<span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">Turnegan, 10th Day of Hastrimun</span></span>
The weather turned for the better. Another week at this rate we should be nearing the Cathagi Strait.
I have given yesterday’s entry some thought and decided not to take it any further. Yori is right that barring access, but the Andrei knight is now more a friend than a mere passenger and I will not embarrass by raising his servant boy’s vigilance surrounding his masters troubled sleep. Intriguing but not, I think, a matter that requires further investigation.

>>5456086 The male warrior priest, a knight and a holy man both in their strange custom, has become involved in the archer incident. There are no more reports of skipping coins in the sea waves, instead it seems the archer has become an avid gambler. This shared vice has done much to win them over to the crew. A new rumour has started, as they can be expected, that the archer is in fact a woman in disguise. I’ve asked Yori to encourage the men to refrain from spreading such are harmful rumour, given I understand warrior women as taboo in Cantôn custom as it is in Langland.

<span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">Fenegan, 11th Day of Hastrimun</span></span>
A sail was sighted north of us on the horizon, but was eventually lost in the small gathering of clouds. The winds were ambivalent today, at times blowing against us and at times hurrying us along.
<span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">Sendag, 12th Day of Hastrimun</span></span>
The northern sail has not been sighted again, we may have left her behind as the winds improved. However, Benicio reports that he believes he saw sails heading away from us to the south. No one else could verify this, and I trust his eyes but the man admits it was far and away from a sure thing. According to him it could have been two ships with single sails, or one larger vessel with two masts.
<span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">Sandag, 13th Day of Hastrimun</span></span>
The weather continues to hold, we passed a Cathagi tradesman heading north but they kept their distance and did not respond to our flag signals. This would be unusual behaviour for a Langlish or Cantônian vessel, but I am unperturbed by the behaviour of this Cathagi ship. Their captains can be personable enough on the shores, but wary of all while at sea. The writ of the Dragon offers scant practical protection out here.
The pilgrims held another service today, I have noticed one or two of the crew joining them lately.
<span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">Monegan, 14th Day of Hastrimun</span></span>
In other matters, I am not much of a reader and have little material to share with our more gentlemanly passengers despite their requests. Nor is the little I have suitable for gentlemanly eyes either, the language barrier will do little to disguise the pictures. Instead the Storm Bear has had to content himself with questions of myself and other sailors during meals regarding our past visits to Cathagi. He is not the only one, many of the pilgrims are curious of the strange land not one of them have seen before. I have shared what knowledge I have, but I doubt even my verbose descriptions will quite capture the first sight of the Crescent Palace sprawled over that ancient metropolis like a, well, a dragon on its hoard of gold. I am quite hilarious at time.

<span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">Tunegan, 15th Day of Hastrimun</span></span>
The Storm Bear did not join us at breakfast this morning, instead spending two hours on his knees in non-step prayer on the foredeck. This is apparently some penance for a minor transgression of the soul, and the ragged priest watched over him the entire while. I mislike the tradition, a man’s mind should be his own but there was much hushed murmuring among the pilgrims once that winds caught our sails at the end of the knights vigil.
The wind carried us along a most favourable current and as our speed continued to build I had the crew take routine measurements. Day and night we never broke less than 6 knots, at this rate we will be around the horn in a matter of days rather than weeks.
<span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">Wenegan, 16th Day of Hastrimun</span></span>
The weather and currents have cooled their heels, which I found not the least disheartening. Favourable weather such as that can turn sharply into a gale without warning in these parts. We are now at the Cathagi Strait proper, a near a full week ahead of schedule.
<span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">Turnegan, 17th Day of Hastrimun</span></span>
The heart of the Strait itself looms ahead. There is a mixture of anticipation and nerves among the crew, all the old hands well know that here is where we can expect the worst combined threat of weather and pirates here more than anywhere else.
This energy has filtered down to even the pilgrims, not least because of the two waxing moons that should reach their zenith in the coming nights. Bad luck to approach the Straits under a Twin Sister, or so the Cantônians say. The ragged priest is foremost in scoffing at this superstition, and for once he and I are in agreement. I will only abide reassuring superstitions on this ship.

The more I think about your argument the angrier I get, because it makes a lot of sense and you are technically correct that the 9 should be a double pass (as the earlier vision vote said -always-) and a crit-pass in the situation. But thankfully I get to have my cake and eat it because the 88 is technically a Rough Seas results, not a Foul Winds result. In this rare instance, I'm going to rule that the 9 should receive the more powerful of the two results, rather than compound with both.
>>5458495 This anon has the right of it, but as a nod to your point and admiration of loophole rules lawyering, I will grant the +1d6 days gained.

I also love the idea of whatever we get being inside a worn treasure chest that is washed aboard our ship or literally falls from the sky when we are praying asking for a sign that we are just and righteous. That 9 has significant meta meaning so whatever we get their should be some Angel action. Maybe it whispers to us where to look or what the thing we find is.

<span class="mu-s">Monegan, 21st Day of Hastrimun, 883 A.C.E. – The Cathagi Strait</span>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfH7NnA50JU&ab_channel=Commack – Rough Seas You stumble across the ships hold, trying not to step on any of the pilgrims huddled across the floor. Captain Alfonso Verdicci has claimed that this is not enough a particularly bad storm, but it’s been enough for him to turn back from their attempt at the Strait in the hope of finding shelter. Well, it feels bad enough to you.
The water trickles and drips everywhere overhead, there is not a dry spot in the hold. Your shirt and breeches are soaked through, and have been for days. Everyone else is the same. You pass Mikail is leant over a bucket, retching. He may as well not bother with the bucket, it’s full of sick and seawater as is and slopping over onto the floor with every jolting wave. Beside him Orin stares vacantly at the beam in front of him, too rattled to sleep and too tired to be sick again. Even Hannibal has lost his feisty temper, and is reduced to a shrunken miserably neighing figure at the rear of the hold. The storm had upset him terribly, and your poor steed had to be restrained with rope and hooded lest he harm himself or another. The stench is… atrocious. But a breath of fresh air is far from the reason you climb up the stairs from the hold, gripping the railing tightly as the ship heaves and groans.
It takes an effort of will to force the door open, and upon success the noise of the hold suddenly shifts into a deafening cacophony as you reach the main deck. A wave directly ahead takes up your whole vision, blotting out the horizon. For a moment you fear you’ve reached the deck only just in time to witness the whole ship go under, but at what feels the last second the Coy Siren clears the crest to safety. Another massive plummet and heave of the ship follows, you have to grip the doorway with both hands to avoid being thrown out facefirst into the wood of the deck.
Brother Marcel Rousseau claps a rough hand on your shoulder, grabbing your attention. Even if the man were permitted to speak, his words would be lost in the two feet between you under this howling gale. But the length of rope in his hand held out toward you says more than enough. The few hardy sailors permitted above deck to tend to the most essential operational parts of the ship must all wear these lifelines that should prevent them being swept overboard in these rough seas. You thank the holy knight for his aid, tying up your own link away from a watery grave before turning your attention back to the deck and shouting up at the lone figure aloft in rigging.
<span class="mu-i">“JEESSSS!”</span> Your bellow is reduced to a whisper in the howling wind and thundering waves, directed at the one figure above deck not secured by a rope lifeline. <span class="mu-i">“WHAT IN THE PIT ARE YOU DOING?!”</span>

She’s usually so sure on her feet, like a cat, but there is little she can do in the face of the ocean’s fury when flung from the rigging into the boom of the mainsail. You hear the slap of the impact as the archer hits the landing with none of her usual grace, falling limply from the boom into your waiting arms below. It’s like catching a bundle of twigs, with no weight to the unconscious bale in your hold.

Meanwhile, Black Sails are less known and perhaps we might discover if they're tied to the Tragedy of Ardenne or not.

So as much as I like the idea of learning more about the brothers and pushed for an artifact the simple fact is in character I think we going towards the Witch Hunter angel and knowing how badly that magic fight could have gone (permanent mutations, limbs reduced to ash, etc...) any edge we can gain to better understand and fight the enemy is sorelly needed. That and we already know where to get forbidden lore (from the ruins and the fae) what we don't know is magic. Hell we don't even know that silver weapons blessed by a priest may help. So I vote.

We are about to go from PTSD war night terrors to the kind of nightmares only things mortal minds were not meant to understand bring. I am starting to think there is a very good reason why all the magic users we have met so far have looked like shit and were insane as fuck. I dont know how the magic system differs here from Black Company but what I know from that is likely originates from pacts with non-human entities. So we might be getting a devil to go with our shoulder angel.

Fair. But we still don't know anything about magic and its possible that the order of names had ways to weaken the costs of magic or that that one was not particularly powerful. I think its more likely the stronger the mage the greater the damage on the body, mind, and soul is.

>SELECTED: A single tarnished piece of metal dangles from the ceiling in front of you, rusted beyond recognition. 13 stones show the way ahead, each one marked with a sail painted as black as night. [Ocean Bounty] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBN56wL35IQ&ab_channel=ASN The first black sail is picture perfect, as fine a depiction of the terrible omen as done by any artist you might find in the places of culture at Court. A particularly morbid one, perhaps, and struggling to work with the raw materials to hand but talented nonetheless. You can even make out the ‘crew’, shaded figures standing silently at the edge of the ship’s railing and staring straight at you.
Sink. The second depiction on the standing stone is somewhat cruder, or at least more abstract. The sail in this now does resemble a fin, gossamer filaments of night spreading out like the sea monsters Sir von Rhum described. Even beneath your growing dread, the inconsistency from the depiction on the last stone niggles at you. All sorts of rumours abound as to the nature of the Black Sails, from haunted undead crews to a monster of flesh and blood but incompressible size. Certainly they cannot both be true, such an answer makes no sense.
Sink. Deep. With start you realise that the depictions of these Black Sails are getting gradually poorer in quality, as if their completion was rushed at the time of creation or selectively vandalised at a later date. The second to last pylon is the messiest yet, but you can make out what appears to be dark hooded figures leaving their smaller black sails to crowd around the central giant sail. As if to attack it. Or in worship.
The ‘sail’ on this last obelisk is little more than a daubed streak of pitch hurriedly smeared across the rockface. The stone is cracked, riven straight down the middle as if it were split by a giant.
Sink. Deep. Into. [1/3]

So this Banner guy with the crown of thorns is the third missing brother of Adam and Cain who was deleted from the histories? The parallel of Path of Thorns to Path of Cain and Path of Adam always confused me. Would make sense that 'Thorn' was the third brother's path.

However unlike the Latin of our world there hasn't been a religious retention of this language preserved for the higher social classes. Typically the Book of Brothers is translated into the common tongue. Just being literate still makes priests among the few who can read the holy book though.
The archaic Cathagi is still used in very ancient traditions and mantras (such as the chants exhibited by the Order of the Broken Blade etc), but isn't required learning by the nobility or priesthood like Latin was in early medieval Europe.

Getting good equipment early ensures we survive the next 2 years.

>>5451895 Alright I'm voting for the least interesting option but for a reason.
As anon has pointed out, waving that banner around is going to probably cause serious trouble and bring us a ton of negative attention, even if it's "merely" a holy artifact. It's either heretical because it depicts things in a non-church approved way, or it's a super holy, rare artifact that we shouldn't be in possession of which might piss the church given we're already in their scopes for our miracle
As much as I would LOVE the book, we can't read it, maybe can't trust others to read and translate it and should have a wealth of information available one way or another via the DG if we play our cards right.
Taking a sword increases our chances of survival. We've grabbed the attention of the prince and a SoS already, we're thinking of joining the Dragon Guard, there are all manner of horrors in the world. It makes sense even if other options are cooler.

Well, that's a fucking lore bomb if I've ever seen one.
As other Anons pointed out, this was likely the prison of the Abyssal SoS. The place was a prison for him, guarded by knights who lived there but whose purpose likely waned in time and were eventually forgotten.
If a SoS is behind the tragedy of Ardenne, it shouldn't be this one however. As the skeletons of the knights are still here, it would make little sense for a calamity who spread undead to leave there here.
The Banner is another very interesting element. The figure shown is clearly the Patron of the Path of Thorns, and the fact that such an item is here means that at some point Thorn boys were allies (true or convenient, I can't say) of the Adamite and Cainite Orders. That said, Thorn points are a malus whenever dealing with Sin bullshit, so I presume this Banner nullifies or even reverses said negative modifiers. The existence of knights devoted to such an ideal brings up many questions, and I can't help but wonder if that's the true identity of the Son at the Prince's side.
Anyway, as much as lore compels me I must say that there is really one choice here:
>The last man to fall, his weapon is in perfect condition. The man must have gone down fighting whatever horror assailed them, the edge has sunk into a solid stone three finger widths deep. Gripped tight between those splintered skeletal fingers, the Blade… it’s still sharp. Impossible. [The Blade] So very appropriate after ours was destroyed. Almost as guided by divine providence.

>>5464141 Would it be so surprising? I remember that it was a theory thrown around a few threads ago.
The old ruins said that a bargain was struck and the brothers were 'forged' in Sin. It might be entirely possible that, if Sin is the Father of a SoS, then there was need for a Mother of Sin as well. It would also explain why the Ordo Reginate has many behaviours which seem more in line with the Path of Thorns rather than Adam's or Cain's and of course, occult knowledge such as chaining Sons of Sin.
I also re-read those passage and it was mentioned that two brothers were chained - presumably, Anarchy and Abyssal. I do hope that Cain actually smote a few of them because otherwise he's the greatest loser ever.

Of course this relies on a fantasy world where things actually go well so Abyssal is probably one of the two. Which would mean that Anarchy's the only chained SoS at present.

Good idea. Take the chains with us. We already have that chain from the last one and it fits our character. Maybe we can even chain our sword to our wrist so we don't lose it. Those chains are also probably super resistant to magic material. Worse case we use them to confine the next mage we encounter.
Oy all you anons complaining about the sword being boring you guys have no idea. This sword could be like Anarchy's mace, that dead man may have been possessed by Abyss's and died wielding his blade, or what I hope to be. A shard of an elder being that takes the form of what is most desired by the viewer or was reforged by dark rite into a sword. This is a dark place none of these options are pure so why not pick the one that benefits us the most.

>>5464316 Glad someone else suggested it. Even if taking all the chains with us (might be a bit too high-profile?) we just GOTTA take at least a chain link with us to match the first one we have.
Did we attach it to our shield? Can't quite remember

>>5464378 Yes we did, it goes across diagonally on the shield. Maybe we can get another one and make and X cross.

Besides, don't think we need to go so far as to state that there is a "Mother" of Sin or specifically a "Father". After all, Sons of Sin can just be a metaphorical name to them as they have fully given thesmelves to the temptation of fell powers.

The masterwork benefit is in addition to the base castle-forged weapons in the chart.

We are not practicing magic we are using a single magical artifact. I think you are underestimating our constitution and endurance stats. It is also unlikely to happen immediately. I consider magic to be of the Warhammer type with some elements of radiation and random mutation. In small doses perfectly fine no more than a sun burn.

>>5464053 >"One wishes that the Deadmen were a plague unique to the lost city of Ardenne in Romaine, though the tales of a similar rot creeping across the foreign realms proves this to be otherwise. Langland mercenaries, always boisterous and ready with a tall tale, hush and murmur with darting eyes of the Black Ships from across the endless ocean to the West. Traders from the cold north speak of warriors of Norsikaa venturing across the World’s End Mountains in search of the famed treasures of legend only to return… changed. >Their fell masters are rarely seen, and rarer still leave any survivors in their passing. More worrying still is that no records of these creature’s existence are present from the time of Adam and Cain, implying that they are a recent corruption. That, or a cover-up of terrifying reach. On all corners of the civilized world, in the dark and forbidden places friend to neither man nor beast, something sinister stirs." Anon, you've put the cart before the horse. The Sons of Sin received their unholy power from somewhere, and i'm beginning to think that not all of them fell to a single entity. I think we may have just learned the name of one such primordial presence: Abyss. It would appear that whatever bargain was struck in the time of Brothers unleashed it into the world, perhaps in exchange for a transfiguration of mortal flesh.

>>5465336 Although I would like Forgotten's confirmation on this, I don't think we are forced to make a choice between defensive or offensive prowess here.
The Second option sounds just like a souped up version of the first - which means we get Magic Resistance plaus whatever else it offers...for a price.
Considering we decided to renounce lore for this, the spiciest option is the only way to go.

We should not consider this a weapon to be used on Man except in the most dire circumstances, but against the Foe and all who consort with them. Hopefully our Bear Totem can mitigate the effects when we do use it.

[Magik Blade] A lot of the time I don't vote if all of the options seem equally good to me and none of them stick out too much, but the fact that people are genuinely getting this upset about the possibility of a magic sword killing Emile's sperm and hitting him with the 5G Estrogen Ray means I really had to throw my hat in the ring.

I think this vote and choice represents perfectly well why people turn to Magik and get corrupted. They convince themselves that the cost won't be that high, right? That what they are doing is necessary for the Greater Good. How else to defeat the Dragon and the Sons of Sin but with a Magik sword? What's one more magik artefact if it gives us a +5DC in combat that we sorely, desperately need? And then one day they look back and find themselves staring up at the world, for they have sank deep in the Abyss, one small step at a time.
NO! We will FIND another way to defeat the demons and the dragon and the zombies and whatever else the Gods throw at us. The EASY way is not the RIGHTEOUS way. The Angel and Heaven Above are more than a match for Foes we face, and through our Faith in them we'll vanquish all our foes.

Hey everyone. I just talked to some independent fact checkers from pascae. Turns out this whole little sons of sin thing is just another right wing conspiracy(who knew?).

Unless it would be too heavy for Courageous Sky, could we have taken another piece of silver chain link to send with the next letter so we do not lose our keepsake from the island? I would like to have the chain link we found added to the original length of chain we have.

I have strongly expected since our first meeting with the Cathaggi expedition that there is a Kingsmen presence in the DG and while we aren't strictly opposed to them yet a good deal of caution should be advised if we encounter them so as to either not alienate ourselves further or to understand their objectives.
Anonymous
>>5466754 >Cathaggi expedition that there is a Kingsmen presence in the DG There is some sort of connection, but its with some of the castes but not the DG directly, but its very likely that all the castes have their ears and friends in the DG. If I remember correctly of all the bits and pieces of Cathagi politics we gotten so far, the warrior caste was losing influence and displace by the use of mercenaries, the Medusae or sorcerous caste, represented with serpents, was at the top politically and was in a slow struggle the merchant caste, represented with weasels, as they were gaining influence likely from all the trade due to the relative peace.

Remember my kniggas, Gilbern's trust in us (and subsequently his willingness to help protect us and our family from the enemies we've made in the Faction War) relies on us being a dutiful informant to him. Even if it has nothing to do with our station in Cathagi, something might get back to him about the Cool New Magic Sword we found and he might start poking around and asking questions about where we got it from, and how.

>as they were gaining influence likely from all the trade due to the relative peace. probably but you forgot to mention Ooc the rising threat of the Bedouin nomads which probably saps the warrior caste and who's continued presence may have also lead to the fall of the Medusae caste.

Brothers a troubling thought just came to me. Would it not soonish be time for Mike to end his squiredom and become a proper knight? Which presumably he would need the king for, or at least his Lord (dad). Can he even join us in the DG for 3 years?

Assuming we can knight a motherfucker, I don't actually remember but I think you might be right about needing the King. If that's the case though, he'll need a bit of prestige and glory, which if he joins us in the DG (even as a retainer) should certainly help I think

Speaking of we should really talk to Orin at some point he's ethical standing in the ruins leads me to believe he himself might make a decent knight.

> Based and Duchyman pilled I got to admit the princess was pretty high tier though *bonk*
Duchies are even more cringe since they are a self-serving system. Some seem less idiotic than others (Romaine's ducal family seems actually somewhat competent) but the prince has the right idea when it comes to breaking down their powers and centralize more. Too bad he's under the sway of a giant pile of NOPE.

regarding the queen its in a similar position being hard to judge through our interactions so far, prehaps a weak queen is little more than a figurehead being used by the clergy or queensmen for their own agendas, the same could likely be said of a weak King being little more than a figurehead for their own factional strongmen.
As for the Duchies you're making a hell of a hot-take regarding our own duchies competancy in comparison to the others, certainly fucking Fallavon deserves destruction and salting but every other Duchy has a unique and constant problem that isn't simply crown politics like Aubrey.

As for Duchies, that take is literally how feudalism works. As much as I enjoy fantasy, it's a shitty government system. Also, I did use the word 'seem' since we don't have a lot of info...but we have isn't very flattering:
- Fallavon is classist to the extreme and causes its own Bluejays problem;
- Pascae has copper-clippers all over the place, with unsavory businesses running around (such as the one Emile uncovered);
- Pascae has Crown politics to deal with, and we've discussed just how serious they are;
- Montbrun's issues tend to be external, but Vancewell and (seemingly) the Duke prove that there's infighting there and IIRC those external threats are sometimes used to exploit fellow Cantonians;
- Romaine fell from grace and has undead troubles, so that's why its Ducal family seems less focused on petty selfishness. I do wonder how much involved they were with all those failed attempts to reclaim Ardenne by Holy Orders, because those went very poorly.

Regarding duchies
>Fallavon I will absolutely pay credit to the class system being at fault for the utter shithole being in a out of control feedback loop where the nobles treat peasants like shit, the peasants fuck off into deep Fallavon and radicalise which circles right back too the lords stomping down to badly solve the issue with only the Bluejays and Fae profiting.
>Pascae Copperclipping is a double-edged sword, for all the copperclipping committed they also bring in a obscene amount of wealth that is almost certainly extremely difficult to ignore as a source of revenue, it doesn't excuse the behavior or ignoring it by any stretch though.
>Montbrune I suspect the internal political situation has been boiling for a long time and is more intricate than we know, Forgotten has mentioned a theme is the old ways vs the new ways and I suspect that's playing out in a fashion in montbrune, additionally I suspect the manning of the Torwatcher gates has made certain houses very wealthy.
>those external threats are sometimes used to exploit fellow Cantonians Can you explain that a little and how that might differ from any of the other border duchies calling for support?
>Romanie Funnily enough we've had the most exposition on this duchy but the least political insight, most houses are a shell of their Ardenne days and I could see the Romanie family having a strong hand over such a realm if they simply came out strongest afterwards, it almost certainly helps that the ever present threat of the deadmen saps away at most houses with regular raids
I am wholly convinced Ardenne was a inside job to prevent it from splitting off from Canton I wonder what Ross was/is trying to do...

<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-i">Tunegan, 22nd Day of Hastrimun</span></span>
After days of battling, the rough seas have finally begun to settle. Despite this turn in the weather, spirits could not be lower. Sir Emile Andrei was a popular figure among the pilgrims, and the loss of that man to the fury of the waves yesterday is felt keenly among their number. His servant boy is inconsolable, refusing to all offers of food or conversation. One sympathises, even I had come to see him more as a friend than another passenger. In truth I am myself pained by the man’s passing, but I do not let this show to the crew.
We lost the archer in the tempest as well. Their white-cloaked warrior priest, usually good albeit silent company around the dice table, has secluded himself. I think he blames himself for their deaths.
<span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">Wenegan, 23rd Day of Hastrimun</span></span>
A number of the pilgrims have not fared well under the discomforts of the last few days, the holy women indicate that another spell like the last will probably not see them likely to survive the voyage. We have little choice but to make for the strait again.
Today was the first day of clear skies we have had in the last week. We held a service for the loss of the Storm Bear and his silent archer. Or rather, we attempted to. The ragged priest disrupted the gathering, laying about wildly with a few of his most ardent zealots and condemning all present for their lack of faith. Things nearly became violent when the priest shrugged off the holy woman’s calming tones leader of the holy women attempted to explain and denounced her and her conviction.
The man is so clearly set in denial that one cannot help but pity him. I will allow a few days for the pilgrims to come to terms with their loss before attempting to honour Sir Andrei’s memory at sea. If the priest attempts this commotion again, I will have him gagged and bound to the mainsail.

>>5467231 I find it funny that some people have given a pass to the reginate for their own deeds which are done with just as much clarity as Hast's own blackguard behavior, granted yes their is grounding for their acts but many of the people caught up in things are in mere proximity to their targets and still suffer the consequences.
>then he sided with truly despicable people he can't control and I can't trust him in a position of power. Hast took measures to conceal his crime from passersby and if it wasn't for our detectivework it would have likely stayed hidden, I don't know how you can expect the prince to know when he is far away on Aubreys if Hast presents a entirely different face in court.
>IIRC there are rumors of some Montbrunes dealing with the Snakemen in order to point them at fellow duchymen and profit from the ensuing chaos That's a....new one, I believe I've heard they and the wastelanders occasionally trade with them and their is the occasional Montbrune colonial effort but never proxy engagements.

>>5467726 The answer to what happens to the ship depends on whatever the meaning of the shit Forgotten's rolling right now. However usually in this quest, if there are several rolls happening at once to determine the outcome of an action, a crit in either direction will override the rest of the rolls and provide us a single Very Good or Very Bad outcome to the roll. For example, we usually get three rolls to determine the outcome of a round of combat, but if one of those rolls is a crit, then it usually doesn't matter what the other rolls were, unless one of them was also a crit, in which case they usually cancel out completely.

Guys this is actually fucking epic
Hear me out.
Our boi's nickname among the langlish is L'orso - the storm bear.
We disappeared in the midst of a storm and after we were gone the storm abated. and now when the ship picks us up there is the mother of all storms.
what the fuck is the captain going to think?
From hearing the rumors is he and the other Langlish going to start actually thinking that we're some sort of hurricane bear in the guise of a human?
is this going to start some sort of pagan religion?

>>5468117 Gabriel's nat 100 was a reversal of fortune but not what assured his death, it was the series of bad rolls afterwards. To allow a single roll to dictate success or failure, regardless of prior events and choices, is the height of bad design imo.
>>5468122 The journey was fine by itself, I believe. What should have been changed were the critical results - if only because this isn't a voyage to the Villain's Ultimate Lair (TM), but just glorified filler scenes. A sudden Bad End here wouldn't leave the players sad but satisfied as during a climatic battle, it would just feel abrupt and jarring.
That is because there's no real stake in the voyage itself. The dangers of Cathagi and all that comes with it are. Certainly, this system is more realistic - but this is a story of chivalry, adventures and politics, not sailing. Some concessions should be made to focus on what matters.
Mind you, the update isn't out yet so it shouldn't be taken as a bitching complaint. That's just my two cents on the situation and people are free to agree or disagree.

I have some concerns about how forgottens doing this portion.
Anonymous
>>5469306 Not really. The vast majority of rolls give us progress in the journey. Only 5 rolls out of 100 set us back. Even in failures we still got a day of progress in the journey. Even in this terrible storm, since we still got 6 days of progress, I doubt we'll actually be losing days from our previous total of 30. We'd have to have terrible luck to actually lose days.
Which actually happens IRL too. Like an anon said above, Rome lost three entire fleets to storms in the Public Wars. Sometimes the seas are becalmed and you have to wait for a time. One other example in fiction I can think of is the Golden Company getting scattered due to storms in going from Lys to the Stormlands. Less than half the Company's men make it to the destination in time.
So I don't think it's unrealistic. Keep in mind this was also a very rough section of the sea with 3 adverse re-rolls (the crit Forgotten rolled was his 2nd adverse re-roll). It's not like we're facing rough seas in every section. It's only in the actually dangerous portion of the crossing that the risk was high enough, and due to our luck we got a storm.
Now hopefully Forgotten resets the DC for the weather rolls for the next section (assuming the ship survives) because of the crit like he did for Ocean's Bounty. Otherwise we'd have 35 DC.
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>5469330 Punic* instead of Public.
To add to my point, in the five weeks for which we have rolled for the weather, the first three had no adverse re-rolls. It's only the last two weeks in the crossing from Canton to Cathagi that we have had adverse re-rolls against us.

On the one hand, safety is paramount when we're shepherding so many pilgrims and loved ones, so turning back may be a good idea. On the other hand, if we turn back, we'll still have to attempt the Strait again with those 3 adverse rerolls, and this time we'll have to do it with a higher DC due to the ship still sustaining some damage

Regardless of your below results, 2 pilgrims will ultimately take ill and perish (that was what I was rolling for here

But i ain't never seen the sky as it was that night, drifting within the endless sea... Just talkin' about it doesn't do it justice. It wasn't dark, see? Dark skies you get everywhere, and i reckon they don't care much about the folks below, either..... This one did though. It was alive, and it was furious. You ever had the entire world *hate* you, Father? Ever gazed at the furthest horizon and felt endless blackness stare back? I did, that night...."

>>5471067 "...It was moving, it was. The sky that is. Lightning danced along the cloudscape above, visible even through the unending rain that hammered onto the sailors' backs like arrows. Under deck, we were sheltered from the worst of it, but the unrelenting waves came crashing over the hull over and over again, seeping down until we were up to our knees in water. We had no choice but to climb the stairs up towards the deck. Many were sick and had to be helped, and even we young men weren't far from collapse, but we managed somehow. It's all a bit of a blur, see? Cause it was then that i saw it.
All around us the storm raged - *Writhed* perhaps, because everything was moving. The sea, the clouds, everything was twisting and spinning and spitting bolts of brightness that made my eyes burn. Everything but the ship bow, where everything was - unfathomably - calm. He kneeled there, still as a statue. His head resting against the pommel of that strange sword as the waves rose around him. Then he began to pray, and i swear to you, father, *every* man on that ship heard the words as clear as if we'd been attending Mass in Canton. I forgot about the storm - about the hateful presence behind the clouds - and found my lips moving on their own, praying alongside him. I don't remember them anymore....I don't think i have the *right* to remember. But i do know that his hymn carried a sense of indescribable wonder. A transcendent awe before the Almighty that i hadn't felt since i was a wee lad...
And as we prayed, Langlish sailor and Cantonian pilgrim side by side, a single light pierced the all-encompassing wall of darkness. It was like nothing i've ever seen before or since. As if a new star had been born upon the firmament. Maybe it was merely the darkness and terror of the storm, but to my eyes it shone brighter than the sun. Then, i remember the captain shouting something, and suddenly everyone was moving. Apparently they were setting course towards the light, but i was too transfixed by the miracle to notice.
The last thing i remember before the exhaustion and cold overwhelmed me was thinking that the star wasn't shaped like one. The light seemed stronger along the sides, and i thought.... I thought that the the twin rays extending outward seemed almost like wings..."

Personally, I would prefer something more subdued, but no less stunning. At the height of the storm, as we are giving it our all to maintain the ship, as our muscles strain and we give a roar of effort, the noise of the storm seems to stop, like a yapping dog that had just been kicked. We turn and see a that we have entered a circle of calm in the storm(though some sailors swear that it appeared around us.), which isn't the eye of the storm. This gives the sailors enough time to finish correcting the ship.

Looking back on Emile's duel with Giovanni, I can't help but think that our current build is too reliant on equipment over training. Giovanni was getting a whopping 38 DC from martial skills as opposed to Emile's 10. I hope that Emile gets plenty of time in the Dragon Guard to learn a particular style of melee combat.
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>5472482 To be fair, we've both spent an equal amount of time training, just in different methods. Giogio focused on pure bladework in classic Langlish style, but learning how to fight in heavy armor and utilize the protection it offers to your benefit in combat takes just as much time and effort, and in the end it left us pretty evenly matched. That said, we can always lose our armor or get caught unawares outside of it, so training Emile further is still an excellent idea. Hopefully our time in the Dragon Guard will help with that, since the kinds of people skilled enough for us to learn from are exactly the kinds of people that get invited to serve as part of the Dragon Guard.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1qzm3UUTrg&ab_channel=TwoStepsFromHell – The Second Miracle You thought you had seen some storms in your time, but never a storm like this. The skies outside are black, pitch black, as if it were a starless and moonless night rather than just after morning.
The ship groans with every violent lurch and tilt in the violent waves, tossed about like a flapping trout caught in the jaws of a writhing eel. The pilgrims huddled together in the hold wail at every creak of timber and crack of lightning, fearing to hear the snap of wood and rushing of water that would spell their doom in the next instant.
You cannot tell just how long you spent in that hold with your fellow pilgrims, be it minutes or hours, knelt together in prayer with those not clinging to one another or the beams of the ship. in prayer with your fellow pilgrims in the hold, be it minutes or hours. Some of the pilgrims are too ill even to pray or weep for their fate, pale and shivering under their soaked blankets. It is typical of Sister Ignatius’ good character and fortitude that even in the constant she motion she made her best attempts to provide them comfort and succour, despite her own attempts to conceal her worry not being wholly successful. But it is Father Towbray alone seems unperturbed, for once the zealous Reclaimant priest is an island of calm in this sea of panic and despair. He alone seems sure that the pilgrimage does not end here.
When later asked, you cannot recall exactly when it is that you realised that you were also calm. Tranquil, even. Without a shred of fear lingering in your mind, heart and soul. You cannot pinpoint the moment it was that you realised exactly what it is that you must do. When your body stood upright and walked to the stairs leading up from the hold, step by steady step, it was almost independent of your conscious thought.

[Hearty] The Haughty option fails to consider the Angel watching over us and it wouldn't do to look a natural disaster in the face and to every time rely on the Angel to bail our ass out, even if we expect it. Miracles are meant for those do not depend upon them
The Idealist option is a little too passive. The power of prayer is fine and dandy, but is better served for a different,seemingly unbeatable foe, such as starvation or being naked and chained before a giant.
I would like it if we could add something after our statement, something more quiet and earnest to contrast the other's commanding order. "It's work is not yet done", in reference to the ship. A plea to the Almighty in addition to our declaration in His name feels right.

Hey Forgotten, a question about the setting, sorry if you've answered this before.
Anonymous
>>5474619 Apparently King has three sons the Prince is just one of them but there other two are a monk and a knight I hope we meet them some day and I think one of them was the great hunter and is renowned (the knight) he is renowned for the slaying of the Fallavon Steed. If we meet him he can perhaps show us the bow techniques and we can really upgrade our hunting capabilities and finally run through the beasts of Fallavon
But in all seriousness the kings sons marry any woman they please but most of them are from the church because the church is where you get great powers from the heavens and the most faithful people can cast lightning volts at the sky and at there foes anyway that's my interpretation of the lore but i didn't read the documents so maybe Forgotten has a different idea

Ever since I have started to hold myself to the Knight's Code, my life has changed for the better. I am no longer bound by anxiousness and can steel myself to confront any situation, social or otherwise. If I'm ever indecisive, I think to myself, "What would Emile do?" and act accordingly.
I hope you keep running this quest, and I'm looking forward to all the adventures that Emile will embark on

>>5475184 Yeah, at the start of each thread we get to vote on a little vignette from the POV of someone we know, and typically get to have some influence on their actions in the story. Placing a vote for which character you want a POV from is your Verification Vote, it's a way of getting an estimate for how many voters there really are in this quest, which we unfortunately had to instigate after a particularly dramatic incident with a committed samefag quite literally blew up the entire quest for a period of time. This way, people can't just operate multiple IDs and manipulate the vote results. Forgotten may be lenient for you now, but your best bet is to be there at the start of each thread to get your vote in. Forgotten has a twitter account he links in the OP post which is a pretty good way to track when each thread is going to start.

>>5475428 As long as you're answering questions, what happened to the Heinrich Norwache guy? Did he get caught up in the slavery business? The last we saw him was a party with Karlaus Rabe, then he suddenly disappears from the narrative. I just finished reading the quest again so I was quite confused. He's not mentioned or referenced when Emile finds out about mercenaries heading to Norwache territory and he's not one of the PoVs we can vote for in the opening posts. It's not mentioned what happens to him when we leave Pascae. I thought he was our sworn man on the same level as dan Marx. Did you retroactively delete him from the narrative?

While we're waiting for Forgotten to arrive, I have a theory about the Deadmen. This thread, we found the former prison where ABYSSAL was kept captive. We learned that the Black Sails are directly connected to ABYSSAL in some way.We also learned that ABYSSAL broke out of containment about 300-400 years ago, which just about lines up with the horrific Night of the Three Sisters, when the Ardenne was swallowed up by the Deadmen. I may be entirely wrong here, but my theory is that the Night of the Three Sisters was an event connected to all of the Sons of Sin, and the Deadmen can be traced back to one of the Sons in turn.

>>5475970 >Anguish and Adversary, the sixth and seventh sons, were Adam and Cain. Adam's dead (unless?) I don't know if that's accurate since I feel like thats extrapolation from the blade of Anguish(?) Cain had. also does anyone else feel like we have missed a major theological issue in the fact the ruins groups Adam and Cain with the other Sons? I feel like this is a thing we've kind of glossed over that the Sons even if they aren't Sons of sin have their genesis and power in the same thing.
Anonymous
>>5476123 The ruins had the step that refers to Adam being martyred displayed as "XI Five Sons turn to Sin. The Sixth Son is Martyred."
Also for a while I was under the impression that the power of Adam and Cain also came from Sin, or the Pit, or whatever the hell was going on there, but even the versions of events in the ruins still included the passage where the Almighty appears before the Sons, and the Sons still Smite the Dragon before they make any kind of bargain with Sin, which indicates to me that it's entirely possible there's still some sort of divine power at work here. Things are confusing, and we can only hope to uncover more about what actually happened so many centuries ago

>>5476149 That's fair but I also don't think it's clear of Adam and Cain are on the list as being forged as we think Anarchy and Abyss were, entirely possible though.
My theory is that for one reason or another the sons made a pact with a thing that forged the sons, could've been any number of reasons but it was neither Fae or Cathaggi related, but we can only speculate while we continue to scramble around in the dark like this.

The storm has passed and left us none the worse for wear. Even the two pilgrims that the female priest had feared for are now well recovered, showing little sign. That our lovely ship has suffered no noteworthy damage in the wake of that furious storm is miraculous <span class="mu-i">(Note: This word has a single line through it)</span> fortunate. Very fortunate.
I had feared pirates or some ambush in these waters once leaving our cove of safety, but after a day on open water I am forced to consider that any brigand vessel that did mean us harm has been driven away by the storm or were themselves sunk before in its wake.
<span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">Tunegan, 29th Day of Hastrimun</span></span>
The male priest Father Towbray is leading daily sermons with the pilgrims abovedeck. Once this would have annoyed myself and the crew. Now, given the events during the storm… Not a few of my crew are joining in. I’ll not begrudge anything of the sort when we continue to be blessed with these fair winds.
<span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">Wenegan, 30th Day of Hastrimun</span></span>
These are busy waters and we have not seen a sail for the past three days. Either pirates have found themselves easier prey or the storm really has scoured the Strait and southern coastline clean. In fact, aside from a few fishermen, we’ve seen virtually nothing by way of human life.

Previous interactions with Cato de Ferros in thread 22:>“Forgive him, Sir Andrei. Sir Domigo Hewitt is… distraught that Sir de Broulert’s favour should fall to you.” The green-white knight with the albatross approaches, up close you can see his face is so tanned as to be almost copper in complexion. “There will be an enquiry, of course. But you have many witnesses of both common and noble blood, I doubt charges will be pressed. They rarely are in passage of arms except for the most egregious breaches.” >"My thanks for the reassurance, Sir…?” >“Sir Cato de Ferros. I wish I could say it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance but, given the circumstances, that hardly seems proper.” >"Sir Andrei.” The young man’s tone pulls you up short, he has a calculating look in his eye. “You are acquainted with Sir Gilbern, yes?” >"Sir Robert Gilbern the Third Herald?” You nod, unsure what he’s getting at. “We fought against the beastmen on the Romani border. Yes, I would consider him a friend.” >The bronzed knight smiles, as a farmer would when he sees that it will rain. “Second Herald now, he’s moving up in the world. Well, we shall speak again I am sure. Good day to you, Sir.” >"And to you, Sir de Ferros.” For a man you just met, and an acquaintance of one you just slew, you are disconcerted at the certainty with which the green-white knight alluded to you crossing paths again.

[Idealist] "it seems you were right Sir De Ferros, our paths cross again, though I hope circumstances will allow for a more pleasant experience this day." The man knows of our connection to Gilbern, which either makes him a part of the OR or just a very well informed outsider looking to lower our guard by associating with our boy the 2'end. Either way he is flying the colors, so we should at the very least observe proper protocol, and the man has crossed half a continent to reach us, making this either a very unlikely coincidence or a very important message and/or ploy. here's to hoping he's bringing us back the bird.

We sent him off a quite a long time ago, and it wouldn't be infeasible that upon receiving the message Sir Gilbern would make moves to get our courier back to us quickly. Regardless, our secrets are our own and Gilbern is who we report to.

>>5474619 There is a bit here, so I will break it down.
>When a King in Canton has multiple adult sons, do all of them marry a girl from the Church? In short, no. The heir must always marry the nominated successor to the appointed Mater Reginae, which is a selection from the appropriately aged and noble born nuns put forward by each Abbess. We won't get into the complexity of that system right now, but suffice to say there is a bit of input from both the Church and the Aristocracy as to who the Mater Reginate successor is.
The other sons and daughters of the king are used to cement political marriages, typically outside of the Church and akin to how these alliances with other Duchies/fiefs worked in medieval times.
>Suppose a king has 3 sons and the first two marry church girls and the third a noble girl not in the church. If the first 2 sons die without issue, and the 3rd becomes king, is his wife retroactively declared a nun and anointed Mater Reginae? Or is his marriage annulled and now he has to marry someone else put forward by the church? Not necessarily. If the heir dies without issue, the successor Mater Reginae is typically remarried to the next heir. BUT if this next heir is already married, or also dies without issue and so on, the Mater Reginae can in fact remain entirely separate from the Royal line. She remains the head of the Church, and continues to do so until her death or the nomination of her successor and pairing with an eligible Royal heir.
In any case, no married noblewoman ‘retroactively’ gets anointed Mater Reginae. I could see something like that being attempted as a political necessity with pre-existing alliances, but the Church would never stand for such an erosion of their powerbase. Some of the most scathing internal conflicts have been a result of the separation of the Queendoms between secular and faith, as have some of the bizarrely mismatched marriages in age difference where no reasonable hope of begetting children could be expected. The latter though can also be a case of the current Mater Reginae not wishing to step aside for the new nominee.

>In a very similar vein, suppose the King dies without any issue and the next eligible male relative is already married, and his children too already married, what does the system have to say about their marriages and the title of Mater Reginae? An annulment might be a convenient way to get around this, and is a political reality, but according to law what is <span class="mu-i">actually</span> supposed to happen is a convocation of Dukes to determine which next eligible (unmarried) descendant of the Royal line, however distant, should be named King. It has happened only twice in Canton's history, and of course was a very messy affair given the number of differing agendas at play.
Ceremoniously solidifying Church and State into an alliance via marriage comes with a lot of benefits. But the downsides of this convoluted succession system are glaring at times.
>>5474724 I honestly cannot recall ever mentioning any other children of the King bar his two sons (one mature and one infant) and one daughter.
In fact, I think the only mention of the King's youngest son was Sir Andrei's first meeting with Sir Robert Gilbern in Grenoble in the early threads.
I honestly can't recall mentioning a renowned hunter/knight younger prince, or the slaying of a Fallavon Steed. Is this a turtlewolf situation? It does sound pretty cool.

Anons turned down a couple of interaction options with him during your time in Port Bounty, so we never really explored his character in depth or his motivations. He's never approached the level of sworn man retinue status like Sir dan Marc or Brother Rousseau. In fact, if I'm being honest, he's more of an acquaintance than a friend if I'm reading the interactions correctly.

>>5479967 If the Herald trusts De Ferros enough to let him carry our reports, i believe we can entrust him with the knowledge of Abyssal's prison. At the very least, it's as safe as a coded message.
We may want to check whether he knows about the Sons first, however.
I say we show him the silver link we took from the islet and ask him if he knows what it means. If he looks suitably pale, angry or disgusted we can reveal that we fell overboard and washed up on a very special outcrop. It may be old news to anyone in the know, but our discovery of another Sons' prison could also be important to the Ordo Reginatae. After all, who knows what the sorcerers in their ranks could do with a place like that.
It's actually pretty unclear how much knowledge the Order of the Chain has lost over the centuries, since they seem to have been highly secretive and the location of the Sons wasn't likely to ever have been common knowledge to its members.

>>5480100 Anon....the basis of the current schism is that the crown prince is consorting with literal, soul-corrupting demons spawned from the metaphysical manifestation of absolute evil. Considering the kind of stuff Gilbern knows us to be involved in, i don't expect him to give a blanket statement like "Trust him" unless he's fine with Ferros knowing about the Sons.
He's not stupid. He knows Emile is poorly suited for deceit and secrecy. If he wanted Ferros kept in the dark he'd have made that extremely clear in the letter.
Anonymous
>>5480126 >Anon....the basis of the current schism is that the crown prince is consorting with literal, soul-corrupting demons spawned from the metaphysical manifestation of absolute evil. Are you talking about Queensmen vs Kingsmen? because as far as we know that's a long standing historical dysfunction of the Monarchy and Church as joint institutions and while I obviously agree the sons are an issue they in themselves aren't a core issue for the conflict. Our reporting thus far on foreign affairs has been entirely temporal
outside of the Angel and I entirely expect any Intermediary he would reasonably send was going to send would be cleared for such activities but not the most foundationally threatening secret in Cantonian history.
Anonymous
>>5480135 Anon i.....You've somehow managed to misunderstand the entire context of what's going on in Canton. We aren't fighting the kingsmen, and as far as we know the king has nothing to do with the Faction. What's going on here is that the crown prince has gone completely rogue and is amassing his own powerbase while he frees biblical demon-prophets and enters into some sort of pact with them. The Ordo Reginae is explicitly fighting on behalf of the Order of the Chain to keep those immortal horrors imprisoned, and if not for us they might very well have failed in Fallavon.

Curious that we haven't seen the Queen even once yet. I'm holding off on forming a concrete opinion on the Ordo Reginate until we've met her and got a good read on her character.

Quoted By:
>>5480156 No Anon I have not but we appear to be at divergent theories, you're right the king very likely has nothing to do with the faction but the prince has at least some connection to it given his displayed knowledge of ourselves and our activities, Sanguine's presence as his bodyguard and the implication he knew more than we did of what we saw in Fallavon's ruins and given he is the heir apparent to the Kingsmen factions its entirely unlikely he is in fact rogue but instead seeking a counterweight to some of the churches own assests in war that could happen.

Hello Forgotten, I'm a big fan, I'm also the other QM in the legal profession, or maybe there's more of us. This is my first time catching up to an ongoing thread of SvT, I just read the whole quest storyline for the second time (my main occupation in my free time over the past week) and I'm excited to get a lil vote in it and follow it as it goes.
I'm not sure if I need to do anything particular to be verified and allowed to vote. Anyhow, I don't have a very strong opinion on the current quandary, but here's my two cents:
>>5479967 >“Hah! So this shall be the nature of our discourse, two nameless burghers discussing goods, prices and other merchant tawdriness? How very droll.” This is all quite exciting, and not a little bit enjoyable. It is a game, a very deadly game. If you take this all too seriously, you’re bound to go mad. So why not have fun in the role you are to play? At Her Majesty’s service indeed. [Hearty] I agree with
>>5480160 that we still don't know enough about the Queen and her side's motivations (if there's anything secret, beyond a general willingness to do dark deeds if it serves the greater good) but on the other hand we've committed hard into this spying business so far, it helps our House and the realm. I say we keep going.

>>5487494 >>5487450 The prince and bishop interactions were taken a little too fast in my opinion. I made the write-in for the Golden Sun Captain that mention their motto, but I was very against aproching the prince and didn't even consider the bishop interaction beyond a polite introduction and paying respects so I didn't write anything for them and so we went in without write-in. Personally approaching them without a plan or write in was our worse mistake. In retrospective we should should have started the conversation with the bishop around the pilgrims and the trip to Cathagi instead of the miracle and with the Prince avoiding him would have been better or just go full ham and said there is no need to thanks us for dealing with Vancewell, since a man so incompetent couldn't possibly be working on the Prince behalf and so was using the Prince authority to cover his indiscretions.

>>5485532 If we ever end up back in Favallon, is it possible to have Fae Runes added to Mother's Mercy, or does that not jive with its trait? Are Fae runes even real Magik? Just wondering because it feels a touch underwhelming. It is only slightly better than what we could have purchased at almost any market with a master sword-smith, aside from the magic resistance save.
It being a peerless and unique weapon, I would have though it might have at least given a small bonus to persuade roles in martial settings perhaps or given its ever sharp edge, which can cut even into stone, maybe a malus to opponent AV. Or even a bost to blademaster rolls, given it is described, are supremely balanced, like it is an extension of Emile as much as a weapon.
Just my opinion.

>>5487971 When I said 'fast' I mean in the thread itself, I think one of the issues was having a vote for the whole thing in one go instead of voting for the interactions for each part of the ball as they began. So instead of having to for 9 interactions in one vote we would have 3 votes of 3 interactions each with more time to customize our interactions. I also see the disadvantages of having three votes, but I feel we always come short in balls for having too many options but not enough time prepare a proper write-in once we know for sure who are we going to speak with.

Nova Cathagi is the capital city of Cathagi, the seat of power in that greying empire of glorious antiquity. Nestled in the fertile banks of the great river delta streaming through the continent, There is no record of the city before the apotheosis of the Dragon’s coming, the city is as old as the Dragon and the Dragon is as old as the city. How old that is not covered in the briefing, but you went paid enough attention in Sandag Mass to know that the city was old when Adam and Cain were young. Ancient and imperial, when the land that would be become the mighty nation of Man called Cantôn was still a cold, untamed northern realm of beasts and barbarians shrouded in mist and sorcery. It remains unclear whether the great Beast is a rare species, the last of its kind, or perhaps the only one of its kind. Sir de Ferros comments, somewhat unhelpfully, that the Ordo Reginate is more concerned with current affairs than history lessons. But he does suggest the Aethenuem Caste would be the ones who might know more outside of the secretive Medusae.

The Merchanta Caste is the merchant social class and, depending on who you ask, they are the true rulers of the Empire. Certainly it is they who run the day-to-day operations of Cathagi, they are the backbone upon which rests the constantly turning gears of the unfathomably enormous Cathagi commerce and economy. There are other city states located in the fertile northern coasts, many rivalling the size of some Cantôn duchies if grouped together along cultural lines. While all pay homage and tribute to Nova Cathagi, prominent members of the Merchanta Caste in effect rules these city states with virtually no oversight in various roles and titles often analogous to Vizier or Merchant Prince. Armies have been raised and nations conquered on the say-so of these viziers and viscounts, often without any such decree being found necessary. Or the decree that ostensibly called for some sort of like action was very loosely adhered to.

I'm sort of sad that Ms. Hewitt isn't here now, the Ypotelis Caste might have been a welcome home for her and maybe a stepping stone to the Aetheneum caste if you can change between them. She would have loved the archives.

Anyway, Stratioki would give us a potential greater insight on the political machinations of the Kyrians. As many pointed out, we're likely going to meet members of this class enough to eventually have some info.
The Aetheneum are for there for DEEP LORE (TM), which is pretty damn useful in truth: aside from our own enjoyment, we are facing Sons of Sin and I bet there is some hidden lore about them in Cathagi. Plus, if they fell on such hard times they would like a member of the Dragon Guard as a mutual business partner.
The Ypotelis are the least interesting but at the very least they can be trusted more than the rest.
With this in mind, I pick:

>>5495352 The one complaint I have with Vancewell is that she's a loose woman who slept with Emile despite being at the letter writing stage (or further?) with the Marquis Fallavon. Who is to say she won't sleep around in the 2 years we aren't there to keep her interest?
Look she's just a smart woman who doesn't want to invest in a faulty product. We captured her interest like no other so, naturally, she had to make sure we were up to the task of being hers should things get serious. No issue there my friend, I believe that she'll remain faithful whilst we're away. She's too smart to risk it all (and her rep) once things become officially serious. People have fun and get up to mischief before their betrothed, it's only natural, but it's a whole different ball game once the letters start flying.

Quoted By:
I am also concerned about Vancewell's entire situation with the Marquis Fallavon. Was her sleeping with Emile effectively breaking off her relationship with the Marquis? Does her father know or approve? She did give us an advanced favour, but she was also actively undermining her father with that entire conversation, and if I remember correctly her father hates us. Would he grant permission to write then? And if he doesn't grant permission, as his sole heir he would force Frida to either keep on her relationship with the Marquis Fallavon or entertain other suitors. It would be a big gamble to hope she remembers Emile for the next 2 years and doesn't fall for another bumbling idiot with a heart of gold.

But it will certainly be an exciting one. [Letter to Young Lady Frida Vancewell] >>5495352 Okay so the main thing with courting Vancewell is it is at the very least an unorthodox process since we would stonewall at getting her fathers permission to write to her but given everything about Vancewell has been fairly... unorthodox we can expect and becomes even more complicated especially if we spend any extensive time in Cathaggi since the marquis arrangement offers us an in but its not a condition that permanently delays the engagement.
as mentioned before Big dick reginate energy MIGHT get us a foot in the door but I personally doubt it and probably more courting without permisson is the go.
>The one complaint I have with Vancewell is that she's a loose woman who slept with Emile despite being at the letter writing stage (or further?) with the Marquis Fallavon. 1. I don't know if we can truthly call her loose, it not unthinkable given some information we learnt but I think we lack the information to say that for certain
and if nothing else Emille was equally unchaste in Pascae 2. from all accounts it was an arranged setup not a sought after engagement on her part.

She is a dangerous woman to chase, especially in political terms and the terms of our immortal soul. So, I will choose the option that will torture poor Emile's heart.

This means that we could switch first place if there was sufficient reason and we would suffer to greatly from it
I have accepted that Most anons want us to pursue Vancewell*mostly due to that crit success), but it is very unlikely to end well. Unless we get some very good roles while courting her and get her to recognize us as the dominant one in our relationship and I mean completely, no getting a "problem" assassinated behind our back) or we get some exceptional circumstances, our relationship will end one of two ways: either we become more tolerant of her wicked ways and tread the Path of Thorns and suffer a different Flavor of tragedy to go along with Prince, or we will no longer be able to turn a blind eye and we deal with her, one way or another before(or after) she does something unforgivable, like killing one of our sisters because of political bullshit. Again, its possible for this to work, but anons must realize that this will be an uphill battle, so either be ready for all our effort to amount to nothing and be disappointing, or be reading to jump ship before it sinks.

>>5496155 I honestly don't think she'll be White Bitch. She's politically savvy and cutthroat but I don't think she's on the same level as White Bitch and honestly, given the world we're in and the fact that she's a woman, I think she does need to attach herself to someone and I think we're a much better choice than the Marquis Fallavon.
We excite her, we surprised her, we're truly good and honest and yet we're still a rising star politically with some very savvy sisters and a house that has the potential to grow. We're a good package for her, even if it was an unlikely match at first glance
Anonymous
>>5496191 To be clear, the Marquis obviously has a lot of power and influence but I expect that he'd bore her and keep her quiet - seen but not heard - which clearly isn't something Vancewell would be cool with. We're the right amount of building potential whilst still giving her the room to be a political animal herself and have some freedoms like our sisters enjoy
Anonymous
>>5496191 A primary issue is that she didn't seem to think that we were actually as good a person as we or others made it seem. This could(probably) cause some problems later when she expects she either says or does something cruel or immoral and gets surprised when we tell her to knock it the fuck off. She wants a useful man, well if she wants us long term she needs to be more than just a beast in bed.
>>5496176 Until the game leads us down places we dont want to go, in which case we make her play our game. Instead of the political weaving and moral relativity of Monopoly with its race car,shoe and striving for more power, simple checkers can be much more satisfying. After all, you have clear good(your side) and evil(the other side) your men fight side by side in glorious combat and at times,as if blessed by the Almighty, the pieces line up in such a way to cripple your enemy and empower yourself.And if that bitch starts talking about the fact that you are just sending your pieces into get slaughtered and other morally gray bullshit, than we will dump her and go play with Mikail.

This is easily the hardest choice in the quest so far. There are professional authors who write romantic fiction for a living who couldn't *hope* to create a love triangle situation as enthralling as this. Every time I think I've settled on one over the other, I flip back when I think on it more. Both are women whose relationship and significance to us arose completely naturally from our choices and rolls within the story.

Concerning the Dragon Guard, lets all keep in mind that the Prince himself did tell us to stay the fuck out of Canton for a while. Now whilst I'm not inclined to give in the threats (and I doubt Emile is either), the Prince could destroy us and our family pretty easily.

>>5496586 I really want to not get deeply into this but I can't help myself.
While the prince did tell us to leave unequivocally a the ball I'm not sure thats necessarily a thing we should obey, he is a threat to our wellbeing to be sure particularly if we cross him again but Sanguinus who is a son of sin is involved with him and almost certainly that means something really bad particularly since it may mean the kingsmen are compromised, yes he could destroy our family if we were isolated and due reason but I doubt our simply returning to Canton would earn that Ire particularly if we are not going anywhere near him. To the issue of Cathaggi a few years is a major commitment and one with some serious obligations that will almost certainly conflict with others goals such as courting Vancewell or our oaths to defend the realm or our own friends and family especially considering we now know that the Dragon demands complete and utter dedication to whatever it wants and it should be obvious how badly that might fuck us or our desires up.
Given the history of the Kingsmen/Queensmen conflict I seriously doubt someone like the prince who is deeply rooted in the conflict will actually give a shit about the potential rep fallout of killing a unconfirmed saint/knight if he deems us worthy of an attempt on our life which again I can't stress enough is so incredibly small time compared to the Reginate or pretty much any other faction that might be out there.
Cathaggi is a opportunity certainly but also will heavily interfere with other goals and priorities we will certainly have particularly if or when things heat up.
Anonymous
>>5496596 I don't disagree entirely but there seems to be a lot of assumption in what you're saying. Assumptions that things will heat up enough in the next two years that we'll be critically needed back home, assumptions that the Dragon will demand things of us that will put into question our oaths, assumptions that a long stay will interfere with our goals and assumptions that we're a small enough deal that the Prince wont crush us.
>Given the history of the Kingsmen/Queensmen conflict I seriously doubt someone like the prince who is deeply rooted in the conflict will actually give a shit about the potential rep fallout of killing a unconfirmed saint/knight if he deems us worthy of an attempt on our life which again I can't stress enough is so incredibly small time compared to the Reginate or pretty much any other faction that might be out there. Couple of things here, whilst I agree we're small potatoes compared to the faction stuff, I think that the Price still needs to consider the reputation of the royal family. Ignoring that leads more groups joining opposing factions and the common folk rising up against you. If he killed us now, I'd agree you'd be right. We are still mostly a literal "who?" but if we finish our pilgrimage, gain prestige in the DG and leverage it all to be properly confirmed as a Saint, that could make a difference.
As to being too unimportant to bother with, he's already threatened us and displayed that he knows A LOT about us. It would take very little effort for him to order our death.
>but Sanguinus who is a son of sin is involved with him and almost certainly that means something really bad I agree completely, we need to do something about that or get help from people who can. But we have little in the way of knowledge right now and the Dragon Guard, and therefore our time in Cathaggi, could give us the opportunity to learn more about the SoS.
> I doubt our simply returning to Canton would earn that Ire particularly if we are not going anywhere near him. I'd agree except it's Emile we're talking about. We as players, and therefore Emile as a character, can't help but get involved in his shit. We're in too deep now. We aren't going to stop obviously.
>that will almost certainly conflict with others goals such as courting Vancewell I'm not sure I agree. If this next step is successful we can maintain the relationship via letters. She'll be keenly aware of the prestige (and possibly info) that comes with our posting in the DG. Vancewell is smart and motivated, I'm sure she can wait 2 years (also it's romantic)
>our oaths to defend the realm or our own friends and family especially considering we now know that the Dragon demands complete and utter dedication Yeah this could happen, we might be late to a war, or things could simmer for a few years before exploding. It's hard to say one way or the other, but we can't just sit and wait forever just in case bad shit goes down. We'll never get anything done

>>5496607 I'll pay that their are a few assumptions but I think not strongly considering that we have a multitude of Investments within the sphere of canton and their impact any event including them will have on Emille
particulary with the this vote being considered is unwise, I'll also grant the reputation of the royal family is indeed a thing for him to consider but when his institutional enemy is the head of the church itself I think the status of a person within the church is not quite the disincentive it might be otherwise.
>If we finish our pilgrimage, gain prestige in the DG and leverage it all to be properly confirmed as a Saint, that could make a difference. On paper I'll grant this but I think anything including our own survival with the DG is as much conjecture as my own.
>he's already threatened us and displayed that he knows A LOT about us. It would take very little effort for him to order our death. Again I do not want to minimise how serious I take it but I personally would say it was a threat made certainly for display and intimidation that woul if it even eventuated likely given very low priority and consideration despite the little effort, I also think the historical alignment of our house may offer some even if small insulation from our own acts.
>But we have little in the way of knowledge right now and the Dragon Guard, and therefore our time in Cathaggi, could give us the opportunity to learn more about the SoS. While true this doubles down on complications, if we are looking for Sins lore which was hard enough to uncover in Canton let alone in place where we are a foreigner with little insight or knowledge of the intricate rules that have serious consequences to breaking them.
Hell as someone with a shred of hope of finding redeeming qualities in the Kingsmen I'd say the reginate might be a better access to such lore
>We as players, and therefore Emile as a character, can't help but get involved in his shit. We're in too deep now. We aren't going to stop obviously. Fair but given the weight its been given and our at least minor backing with the reginate I believe we can navigate better then previously with the proper caution and supports.
>Courting Vancewell The meat of this is that the Marquis is down but not out of it, Frida will be under considerable pressure from the Fallavon and her Father to marry him, I really don't think she can or potentially even would to go long distance with us.
>Oaths to the realm If the Dragon tells us to stay or someone with his authority fuck with our attempt to leave for some reason we are going to have to hightail it to avoid the consequences or stay and at the end of the day we are sworn to defend Canton and I think that carries more weight than Cathaggi

>>5496559 >>5496577 I feel that our mother and older sisters would view her as an inverse of Rabe's sister. Rather than someone who is a bit annoying at first only to later be viewed as endearing, I think that they would like her cunning, but her selfish side would make them dislike her immensely. Our mother and sisters have always shown their cunning to be for the sake of their family, while Vancwell seems to hold herself in at least equal value to her own family. A viper is welcome in a nest if it views the eggs therein as its own, otherwise it is the last thing you want.
>>5496663 It will be a wild ride, I just think the odds of it ending without someone coming to harm(us,her, someone we care about) is rather slime. We only got a chance with her due to a 1 in 100 chance, so while it will be a bit easier moving forward, it will still be hard, especially without compromising ourselves. I suppose us finding out she just hired a hit on Karlus or another member of his family would be very exciting, but with fewer whooping and more cold sweats. We have bested man, monster and demon,befriended Cathagian,Fae and spirit and have gained the attention of gods old and new, but dicking or talking virtue into a woman may be a miracle beyond our power.

I won’t punish missing the mark a little, but you can’t rely on that crit-success for ever. That crit puts you in the game, maybe, but nowhere near the touchdown.

I think our fair blonde-haired lass was our best shot at a potential 'comfy end' to our knights story. Don't get me wrong, could still happen or could pale in comparison to whatever rockshow this might turn out to be. But I would also have been just peachy with writing up a quiet life on a small plot of land, the old shield gathering dust above the fireplace somewhere in the countryside.
I weep not for what is to come, but for what could have been.

at hand their are genuine reasons for both keeping this on the downlow and making an open declaration and its worth talking them through, her Father and the Fallavon family are incredible barriers to her in the open but it could very well appreciate on Fridas part if we effectively say ''I am willing to move heaven and earth for you'' at the same time though it will put our life at stake in a very real capacity if Fallavon even slightly suspects we had intentions prior to wounding the Marquis and our intentions will be known for any sabotuer interfere in, as for wooing her I suspect working to her pride, our joint passion and the bedeviled nature of which Emille thinks of her is a good start but I would welcome arguments otherwise.

>>5499023 I am...unsure why kniggas think that an open letter would be a good idea.
Okay sure, it would be incredible to see an Interlude about Lord Vancewell's reaction. That said, there are reasons why Frida wanted a discreet meeting so I don't believe that an open declaration of love will do us any good right now. Perhaps later, if Emile has gained enough pull to make Lord Vancewell reconsider his political position.
A secret is more palatable because Frida herself doesn't risk anything (which will be appreciated) and she certainly doesn't mind skullduggery - if anything, she gets her kicks out of it.
So, my vote goes to:
> You must let Frida know how you feel, you cannot bear otherwise. But the approval of her father is a foregone conclusion. The only thing Lord Vancewell wants to see you courting is an early grave, not his heir and daughter. Any response to your letter, should it be forthcoming, may very well be hot on the heels of an assassin. Better to see if your passion is returned before baring your neck to the hidden blade. [Secret Letter] As for the arguments themselves, I'm afraid that I'm busy so I can't make a real write-in. This knigga
>>5499209 has a good idea and we should cite that she surely isn't bound by hot-headed vengeance like her father, so familial duty cannot be an impossible burden.
Mention of Emile's honest infatuation should be peppered with some teasing that Vancewell isn't immune to his charm either or she wouldn't have been so forward during the Duke's Ball.
Perhaps more importantly, it should be mentioned that Emile is attracted to how Frida is rather than her public image: her wits and ambition are part of her and he loves for that - and how many people could sincerely tell her that?

I think open letter is the best idea partly because as anons said it signals the whole moveing heaven and earth for you, plus it's more romantic if the clandestine love letters come after the family has denied them, also I think she might be a secret romantic deep down, every girl dreams of being the maiden in a love story especially the cynical ones who have convinced themselves that such things don't happen and especially not to them. I also think sending a secret letter as a first resort might actually tarnish her image of us as the increddebly rare knight who follows the code instead of a deceitful cad putting on a front, While the open letter plays into this image which I suspect is a large part of our charm to her. It could also serve her as a way to inflame her fathers wrath and make him easier for her to manipulate.

>>5499023 I'm gonna be honest, being dumb enough to write an Open Letter *now* is probably one of the easiest ways we could squander the respect and attraction Frida has for us. Being a big dumb goodhearted Man of Honor would work for Daubeny, but if we want to keep her interest, much less have any kind of real future with her, we need to be strategic about this. It's time to be a Sigma Male, not a Himbo. If Frida cared about the "proper" way of doing things, she wouldn't be the type of woman to hire assassins to kill her family's enemies in the woods. We need to be discreet here, and only declare our intentions publicly once there's some kind of leverage on her father, because currently he has no reason to say yes. Also, I think another bonus to writing her in secret is that it shows that we respect her far more than her father. We aren't bothering to try and convince *him* we're a worthy suitor, we're trying to convince *her*, because her choice and agency in this matters far more. So,
> You must let Frida know how you feel, you cannot bear otherwise. But the approval of her father is a foregone conclusion.

Any response to your letter, should it be forthcoming, may very well be hot on the heels of an assassin. Better to see if your passion is returned before baring your neck to the hidden blade. [Secret Letter] As for the contents of the letter, I think we should really do our best to flatter her. She's a woman of great cunning and ambition, and she deserves a higher station than playing as a lackey to the rest of her family. As a good son of Romaine, we know fully well that beautiful looks are well and good, but a sharp, keen mind is just as attractive a quality in a woman, if not even moreso. We are skilled with a blade and have slain many a foe, but she could kill just as many, if not more, with the right word whispered into the right ear. We would probably be scared of her if we weren't so enthralled by her. Just imagine what the two of us working together side by side could accomplish? We would be unstoppable.

>>5499502 . We might as well proceed like Frida is the head of the Vancewell house. If we treat her like she runs the place, she might appreciate that. We don't actually know how involved she is with the Faction, since the assassins were her father's idea.
If this courtship with Frida falls through, would we be able to reattempt courtship with Daubeny, Forgotten?

In addition to thinking on what kind of letter to write to Frida (please choose a secret letter), we also definitely need to think about what we're going to eventually say to Rabe-bro and how we'll calm him down after he flips out over us trying to bone down on his House's sworn enemies. I doubt "we'll just fuck her into being a good person" is gonna be very convincing to him.

>>5499633 I think unfortunately if we jumped immediately onto the Daubeny train after fumbling the bag with Frida, that would be pretty out of character for Emile. The vote between them hard confirmed that Emile's feelings are for Frida, otherwise the "we're undecided" vote would've needed to win. I think if Emile got rejected by Frida then he'd need a while to actually get over her, and unfortunately by that point I think Josephine's mother probably would've married her off to someone else.

>>5499294 I think there's something to be said for the gesture of the declaration and the moving mountains thing I said earlier, having slept on it though I think its in the same camp as her outlook on her Father's oaths of vengeance against us which is dim at best and disregarding at worst and while she might get some thrill out of the declaration and our intent to march into hell she would pragmatically think we're little smarter than a fool.
>>5499502 There are a lot of good Ideas in here, not making a big declaration shows we respect the reality of things and are not entirely a sappy romantic or macho man with more balls than brains, addressing her rather than her father hands the agency to her and considering her ambition and place in the world as a female heiress thats extremely important, it will also be at least a partial setup to pitching the Marquis as someone who considers her a trophywife whereas we would actually respect her as a partner if not something more.
I am more and more frustrated with the latter part of Pascae now as I feel like there is more than a little grasping around Vancewell's character when we could be at least slightly better elucidated on her qualities and character instead of having to do some guesswork.
>>5499723 Do the oathstone then ask him to help us win her, my meme was only in half jest as Rabe takes that tradition seriously, yes its kind of a dickmove but it gets us past him screaming ''NO EMILE I WARNED YOU BRO'' at us while we try to convince him I also suspect we might have inroads to her ambition through our adventures in Fallavon and pursuits of the slaver ring Anonymous

Also, anyone saying that its true love right now is being pretty thick. Emile might not be the cleverest half man,half storm,half bear in the world, but damn well seems to know that his attraction is largely desire instead of such a pure thing. Also, I,m fine with that being the reasoning for pursuing her, however the reasoning I'm getting from too many anons is that they want us to pile on as much figurative gunpowder underneath Emile so that he makes the biggest explosion. We can end up incidentally putting that gunpowder there as a consequence of other actions, but not with it as the primary motivation.

>>5499023 I agree with the other anons. Frida is more likely to respond positively to a secret letter than an open one. For one she's all about that intrigue game and having a secret correspondence with a secret lover will rev her engine more that including her daddy as a factor.
Not to mention that in an open letter we run the risk of causing her embarrassment. and fuck me I just realized how it would look: I mean you kill the vancewell heir and then start courting the new one? Any outsider would see that as politically motivated.

[Secret Letter] Anons are right on the money as addressing her as if she were the head of the house already. The idea of enclosing a more formal open letter within is a nice touch, it is in fact a weapon of more utility to Frida Vancewell than the fancy dagger gift, but one that will be kept sheathed for now. Just be aware that IF you win her over in your future correspondence, timing of that open letter being revealed is really up to her rather than yourself. I already have a tantalising inkling of just when that might occur for maximum political mayhem.
And the suggestions for the write-in are certainly workable, vowing to destroy obstacles that stand between you and recognising how dangerous this affection you hold for her is going to score points. Certainly you will keep her interested, but interest is not yet quite the same as reciprocated love.
Honestly I had kind of been hankering on the open letter option for maximum Sir Gilbern sleep deprivation and political shenanigans, but I can see the validity of the secret letter beyond a scaredy-cat overly cautious option.

>>5500790 I don't think we should use our save just yet. Keep it for the possibility that we roll a critfail in the last week.
>>5500821 Doesn't matter anyway, we didn't roll under 10

<span class="mu-s">Tunegan, 13th Day of Kostrimun, 883 A.C.E. – Cathagi – First Light</span>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_jMCjmqOno&ab_channel=YokoKanno-Topic – The CityThe City, when you see it, leaves you short of breath. Not for its beauty, although it must be said there are worse sights in this world to behold than Nova Cathagi from the sea beneath the rising sun. It is the very existence of the City that beggars belief. It’s presence, it’s mere being in defiance of all your previous reckonings of scale and proportion. If a learned man told you in knowing tones that here alone lived the majority of the human race, but for your far-reaching travels across the continent and beyond you would be hard-pressed to name them a liar. Port Bounty, the largest city in Cantôn, was never near so sprawling. Fair Aubrey, the jewel of the Cantônian realm, was never so proud. The City is a dread thing. Dread in her ancient glory and dread in her monumental scale.
<span class="mu-i">“We launched a crusade against this? And won? In Almighty’s name, how?”</span> Your muttered words are spoken softly under your breath. For of course in Heaven’s name all things all possible… but to triumph against this would have taken some sort of miracle, surely. Little wander the Cathagi view your people as barbarians. But at least you are free, free in heart and faith both. <span class="mu-i">“Reginae wept, how many souls inhabit this city? A hundred thousand? A thousand thousand?”</span>
And high above it all, like a lion taking its leisure in the sun, rears the imposing Crescent Palace. Imposing is a faint word for the structure, not grasping one-tenth of the awe it imposes on the viewer. The monks and scholars have been heard to name it the single largest man-made structure in the world. Looking upon it with your own eyes, you have only one reasons to doubt them. Men could not build such a thing. At first break of day you had presumed it was a mountain, a geographical feature on the otherwise flat land ashore. As the light improved yours eyes continued to see but your mind refused to believe. You had thought the Royal Palace of Aubrey a fine thing indeed, admiring from a distance the jewel of the city and judging it a worthy seat for the Royal Throne. But you could fit a hundred Royal Palace’s inside this monstrosity. A thousand. The histories speak of no City before this one, and of no Palace but this. You can see why.
You are finally here, having walked in the steps of your grandfather before you. The destination of your long pilgrimage. At the birthplace of the Brothers and the founding of the One True Faith. It was here, on the sun-kissed southern shores, that chains were shattered and by their own sweat and blood men were made free. It was here that Cantôn was born. And it is here you must walk now in your final Vigil, setting aside your equal parts dread and trepidation as you step into the mouth of the beast.
For a Knight is Sworn to Valour.

>Which member of Emile's retinue do you want to see more of in scenes? probably Orin because I know that kid has important info but I am biased.
>Which character not in Emile's retinue do you want to know more about? Would it suprise you if I said Vancewell and Rabe? maybe Norwache if we see him again.... also Broulert if he had lived.

But at the very least in the meantime anons can say we're off the damn boat!

>Which character not in Emile's retinue do you want to know more about? Vancewell because duh, and Emilie's family back home. Also Prince. Also I wonder how's the peasant fucker old friend is doing.

>>5502267 >Which member of Emile's retinue do you want to see more of in scenes? I do expect some more Rosseau screentime as he will soon fulfill his penance after this last leg of the journey. We haven't heard the man talk since we met him. Sister Ignatus would be nice to see, especially after our miracle at the sea. Also, we should check up on Orin more. Get a hang of his character more. He's just been kinda there for the entire trip.
>Which character not in Emile's retinue do you want to know more about? Definitely our family. There's plenty of them and they all seem like quite the characters. I also want to see what dan Marc is up to, but I'll simply vote for that in the next thread.
Also, Merry Christmas ForgottenQM. I'm excited for the next thread and some Snake Eyes action after it. AND THANK THE ALMIGHTY WE'RE NOT ON THE BOAT ANYMORE.

>>5502267 >Which member of Emile's retinue do you want to see more of in scenes? Mikail, why does he stand vigil over Emile, sacrificing his own much needed sleep? We know why, but it would be amazing to see just how deep Mikail's unwavering defense of his charge runs
>Which character not in Emile's retinue do you want to know more about? Orin, he's definitely been a mystery, always referenced as a servant boy rather than their own person, but this can be chalked up to Emile's haughtiness, which seems to be lessening.
