Cyril and Jacques are badly hurt and it is currently unknown if they will ever be able to fight again.

>>20745706

But we clean that mess with the cult! Damn that bishop.

>>20745706
We should work on improving our standing with the church. 'International' operations will be easier with them more steadfastly behind us.

Cyril mixed the remaining troll blood with the sample of Jacques's and injected into his vein. While that didn't speed guard's healing rate he comments he feels stronger now.

Is there anything you'd like to do in this week or shall I skip it?

>>20745906

>>20745916
With no additional barracks there is simply no space for them

>>20745930
Retire Jacques and get a new guy. He's spent, let him retire with dignity.

>>20745930

Skip then.

>>20745945
Cyril advises he wouldn't let an injured guard with the troll blood out as you don't yet know the results.

>>20745945

What no! Stop that, Jacques is out man.

Cyril has completed the humanoid body research.

The cadaver is definitely not human. Fish scales on the lower limbs, no hair, reduced palpebrae and the set of gills located in the the trigonum caroticum are more than enough reason for the church to burn it. This one was repeatedly stabbed in the chest, killing it. If I had to explain it using something we know, I'd say we've got the mythical merfolk body here.

>>20746173
repair equipment if needed

>>20746173

What did we find about the Humanoid Corpse?

>>20746173
Have blacksmitch work with merchant adventurer to find out what items are most valueable/cheapestto craft to sell for profit.

The royal family is footing the bill on generalitems from what I drawn from the beginning. Order 10 chainmail,guard helmets, longswords, and wooden shields

>>20746227
Alderic thinks you won't have enough metal for the thing to be profitable. The equipment will get repaired and it will take this whole week.

>>20746227

We can craft the chainmail and longswords with the Blacksmith that way is cheaper for us.

maybe the death of the merfolk caused the crab attack? Like, the sea rising up in vegence for the death of one of its chosen kin? put the crab near the merfolk corpse maybe, see what it does... maybe it'll start trying to nuzzle it or something. or eat it. It is a crab after all. and of course, the merfolk could have been leading the attack.

A set of eight guard helmets and 8 suits of improved chainmail will be ready in three weeks.

I can smell the cultist in this town, lets look for the mayor of the town he has a lot of questions to answer.

>>20746650

Keep the weapons at the ready, whoever lets a filthy cultist get a sneak attack in gets thirty lashes!

We should ask for the keys to the church.

Maybe there is merchants inside the closet!

>>20746662
>>20746650
>>20746673
The blood on the floor was enough reason for you to breach the door and enter the church. Luckily (or unfortunately) the blood belongs to the rat which was killed - a cat, probably. The church itself has no religious symbols inside. Whoever was working here is long gone. In the cupboard you find a note about old gold coins, signed by the merchant guild.

You stop asking questions and get to the tavern. It's empty and it seems only the merchants used it. Strange, a small fishing village has a tavern? The locals give you food and water but you don't dare to try them.

>>20747108

Calm down, you'll have more than enough burning witches in the future

>>20747144

Search the place out something might turn up, also have someone watch the outside.

>>20747142
We could do that, or we could actually act in a manner that will get to the bottom of what's going on in this town.

I'm going with >>20747060. Fastest way to find out what's going on is to have them try to murder/convert us. But we'll be ready.

You didn't find anything. The bookcase is full of books - nothing heretical though.

You conduct an investigation by flashing badges and cracking heads until someone confesses, everybody knows that.
So that's what we'll do.

>>20747204
check more conscious places, behind room items, look at the ceiling, rip up some floor boards discretely. ect.

Well, who knows what that is. it has a person in it, and those things on the bottom are probably waves, but anything else I could say would be conjecture.

I'm thinking we might want to look for the merchant guy.

Pic is possible marine mastermind behind the crab [invasion].

Enough noodling around, what we need is more police brutality. Crack down the crime, literal like, and I'm sure someone will tell us what we want to hear.

Damn it, advance and attack at melee with Alderic and the other guy.

rolled 11, 1, 5, 9 = 26

>>20747739
That roll should take care of that guard, one shot from each xbowman, then all adgance to help the merchant and to take the high ground

Don't forget to get interrogation material. Should have had the mayor survive.

Shit, you're right. Sword guy moves west 2 and attacks. Banner guy move north 1 and west 2, unless he got the banner refitted, in which case he moves west 2 and attacks.

Archers attack sheildless guy.

They wanted to drown the merchant... and themselves? Suicidal elder god summonning cult hoo!

Alternative:

They drowned him! And now they are going to drown me! Oh my goooood!

>>20747913
yeah, it's only two squares, they can totally do it.

Banner guy should disengage and run to free the merchant.

West archer and Alderic attack west villager, east archer attacks east villager, banner guy saves merchant.

rolled 1, 11 = 12

>>20747947
Hmmm,
One xbow try to take out advancing guard...
the other might be risky, we need to free the merchant before he drowns, a lucky shot frees him, a poor one kills him.
Yea or Nay?

Maybe we should focus on saving the mayor and getting out before the water level gets too high? It is rising alarmingly fast...

>>20747988
Even without that roll being a given, much too risky. Better to have the banner guy do it with no chance of missing after he's provided his bonus. Plus you'd need two arrow shots to free him, since he's chained up on both hands.

There goes the final villager. While the guards were busy fighting, the remaining villagers outside have blocked the entrance with a huge boulder. You are trapped!

>>20748034
Free prisoner, get to higher ground and examine mysterious door. Archers swim across if possible.

The water is coming in from SOMEWHERE. Question is, do we want to chance that?

Also, if we do, do we have rope to tie around the guy we send to his doom?

>>20748047
Oh, and see if anything can be done for Alderic.

>>20748034
Save the merchant and nab the dead mayors corpse and items. He might have the 'key' to our salvation.
or an actual key for that big stone whosits.

>>20748056
Fabien stabilizes Alderic's wounds. Roll for the archers to jump over the gap of water.

>>20748066

>>20748066
Why not just tie a rope to a bolt, fire it across, and then jump now that the fellow guards across the way have a safety line prepped?

Both archers have miscalculated the distance. Francois and Gaspard are somewhere underwater while the water is still rising!

The stone has a strange engraving on it, there is no hole in it. The situation gets hopeless.

No one grabs the banner

If any one knows how to swim then strip of their armor and dive for our archers. I plan is to get to the top ledge and toss a rope to the swimming guy.

>>20748236
D: I'm sorry Jesus!

Try seeing if there's anything visible under the waterline?

One mutilated body is thrown on the wall, while Alderic was inserting the skull into the crevice. It works! Will you give another chance at finding the second archer or get the hell out of here? The water rising shouldn't be a problem now with the wall opened.

Since we have some dead dudes now, when we replace them, get some vikings from up Scandinavia way.
