Your journey from Citadel to Stone Hall with your caravan of people has been surprisingly calm. Apart from a missing kid, and a broken wagon, you arrived in White Hall, and then at your hometown of River's Cross. (Still un-destroyed)

Your talks with Princess Mumei of the Phoenix Empire have been rather interesting though, from what you can understand of her speech, the Dragon Who Was Of Shadows, the being that tormented the early tribes of your land, was also present at the Phoenix Empire. Only at its defeat, instead of the pleasure trap of Citadel rising up, it seems those that worshipped the Dragon (Who they thought of as a God...or WAS a God and the Tribes thought of it as a Dragon, it's unclear.) now have their Empire under a rule of perfect order. The Princess is so desperate to never return to either the Empire or Citadel that she made you promise to be her executioner, as death by snake is an instant ticket to the Fires of Rebirth in the faith of her people.

River's Crossing is as quiet and pastoral as it was when you left. Everyone immensely proud of you and Tricia. You visited father's grave, and then Tricia's folks, where your relationship was brought up and confirmed. You also learned that Tricia's father tried to stop Citadel and the Humors with your Father. Only to fail miserably, a group of fifteen skilled warriors and mages fell before the four masked men.

The only clue Alexander was able to survive was a single white coin. Apparently the First Lantern existed, but was destroyed and the metal was changed into these coins. A man named Tallow, one of the survivors of your Father's failed expedition, found a small cache of the coins, and your Father fashioned a sword out of it. It was effective, but not enough to stop the Dramatae. Tallow also apparently talked with the Fifth Humor.

Now it is evening, and you have been asked by Father Uriah to speak at his evening mass. Your first real public address as a Paladin, so...no need to be nervous at all!

>>23894482
Oooo, this started. That feel when just as nervous as Ssen about the speech
bumpin for the usual crowd.

>>23894482
Father Uriah leads everyone through the opening prayer, giving blessing to the congregation and open requests for His Light to shine upon River's Crossing and its people.

Then he leads the crowd in a rousing chorus of 'Smash the Darkness, Purge the Shadows' which, despite having rather bloodthirsty lyrics, is always fun to sing. The old priest knows how to hold an audience.

Next comes up the current events in the area. The farms that are looking for help, when Wendy's caravan will be leaving, and how 'he doesn't have that awful painting of the Liberators of Stone Hall, so the boys should stop asking for a glance.'

This leads into a period of silent reflection. Then Uriah, with a few stupid jokes, passes the plate around. Once more threatening to lock everyone inside until he gets enough to fix the clock, as he always does.

"And now ladies and gentlemen, we have a distinct honor tonight. A Paladin has seen fit to visit our home town, and such a singular Paladin she is. The Savior of Purple Sands, the Champion of First Wood, a Liberator of Stone Hall, and Hero of Citadel. A member of the sacred order of the Caligo Clarus, and a woman who grew up right here, in our own very town. It gives me no end of pride, to yield my simple pine pulpit to Paladin Ssen Patrick.

There's a smattering of polite, reverent applause, as you slide up before the faces that you grew up around. A few of them hated you, most of them tolerated you, some of them came to like you...and now you're their hero.

So, yeah...no pressure.

You see the rest of the Dawnchasers give you a thumbs up.

>>23894680
I'll repeat this, but I don't want to just spring this on you last minute. I'm going to a convention on Thursday, so there isn't going to be the quest for the next few days. It might be on Sunday, depending on how I feel when I get back home. The quest will still be on tomorrow.

>>23894680
trying to think up our speech...

I wonder if noone is saying anything because they aren't really here yet, or if they don't want to come up with an inspiring first speech

>>23894937
Well, while you're working, do you have any little questions for the In-Game Codex? (I.E. I make up some more lore about Citadel Kingdom)

>>23894958
Bright Tower and the ruins surrounding it. Any info on that would be cool.

>>23894949
I know that's my reason. heh

soo... where's the porn?

>>23894949
I couldn't write an inspiring speech if my life depended on it.

>>23894949
im somewhat stuck, but have an idea.

tell them the story of the first Lightbringer, the REAL one not the manufactured ones of Citadel, trying to piece something together right now

>>23894993
This isn't that kind of quest

>>23894993
In your imagination, anon.

>>23894986
Bright Tower: Where Ssen was born. It's within the expanse of woods that is known as Ruin Forest. There's a collection of abandoned castles, stone circles, and other signs of what was probably a fairly bit settlement, now all overgrown by the woods. Probably one of the old Tribes lived here, now long gone, either moved away into another tribe or destroyed by the Dragon Who Was Of Shadow. Now a days, the place is filled with wild game, and a ton of beasts and monsters.

Thankfully because the game is so plentiful, and the woods and ruins offer security, the monsters stay inside the Ruin Forest, with a few exceptions now and again.

The centerpiece of the Ruin Forest, is the Bright Tower. The remains of an old castle, the majority of it is in ruins, but one of the towers still stands, and is visible from River's Crossing.

Apparently, whomever made the tower, used stones that had a large amount of what's called brillitite. When an electrical charge hits a stone with that ore in it, it lights up with a bright blue/white light. Thus every time there's a storm, you can sometimes see the tower light up the night as a glowing beacon.

Once, a while ago, a swarm of lizardmen, and three lamia queens, all of them very savage, took up residence in the tower and did a few raiding parties on the village. (So they claimed at least.) Liam Patrick, still emotionally broken over his loss against the humors and recently retired as a Paladin, took the job because it was easy, simple, no moral problems, and the coin was good.

Then when he finished killing the last Lamia Queen, the lightning stuck the tower, and the world filled with blinding light. When Liam's vision returned he saw a door open, and a young face look at him...and his world wouldn't ever be the same again.

>>23894958
How often do we, as a group, bathe? I know these medieval settings can get pretty stanky. At every town we visit?

Totally not stalling for time while I try to think of a good sermon. What are even some good themes for the sermon. Good coming from unexpected places? Change being scary, but also good?

>>23895062
>/tg/ quest
>not about porn
HA
Oh, you're cute, you. I'll violate you first.

>>23895244
Look, there's not any quest specific porn yet. If you want some, you gotta make it.

>>23895222
When you can, when your own the road it's not much than a basin of water to splash, and a little soap in the crevices. Of course Ssen has advantages, a quick slither through a stream or wet grass and she's got most of herself clean. The others do their best. You're grubby, but not filthy, and you do fully bathe when you hit a town.

Still, during the caravan trip, everyone's more than a little ripe, especially with four straight weeks of travel left. (Less if Mage can get that haste spell working.)

Oh man now that I check the times we've been stalling on this near an hour. I just got here, but I think I'm going to whip something up, regardless of quality. Echo, how do these sermons usually go? Extoll all the values of the light, or just talk about one of them, or what? I've never been a religious man, so I don't really have any idea.

>>23895244
House and Dominion

your turn

thats my problem to, I've never attended mass so I have no idea how to even start hah.

>>23895324
I'm going to go look up the teachings of the light and lea's citadel sermons, and see if I can synthesize the two styles, as that's what I have to work on.

>>23895284
Uriah runs a VERY informal service. Compared to White Tree or Purple Sand's at least, and thankfully there's not a single mention of Citadel in his prayers, like in that pit of Darkness.

It's been a long time since I went to church, but I'll take a crack at it. Give me a bit.

>>23895282
>Less if Mage can get that haste spell working.
I thought it was already working?

>>23895431
It remains untested though.

>>23895295
They're not trying very hard if anons cant come up with porn for it.

>>23895337
Let's see...oh, have I talked about the Guilds? There's four: Swords, Coins, Staves, and Cups.
Swords handles mostly the non-military, non-occuli, non-Watch things that involves anything that requires someone being dead. They set sell-sword rates, place bounties, and are suspected to be a set of the purple occuli's eyes. They also control most of the forges in Citadel Kingdom, they set the prices, they place standards on wares, and they take their cut.

Staves runs the mage's guilds and the Conclave. The Mages usually keep to themselves and their studies, they register people who have the Gift, and ensure that any experimentation is done in places that don't leave craters where cities used to be. Mostly they get their money from enchanting things, and staying out of the way. The Conclave is filled with the alchemists, artificers (rebuilders of old magic-based gizmos, things that HAVE been, NOT Barney's innovative creations) and other people who are too damn clever for their own good.

Coins are the merchants, and it's an open secret that they're the thieves' guild as well. They set prices and move caravans, not to mention bleed nearly everyone with a little protection money. Also they make people who harm those that pay for said protection disappear within days.

Cups are the healers. There's none better, but they're a little...trigger happy, would be the best word. They have spellcasters, alchemists, and all sorts of people, and defeating the disease and leaving a person able to walk is job one but, like in Lea's case, the cure is sometimes worse than the disease.

>>23895126
It's been less than a year since I set out from River's Cross, but it feels like it's been far longer. I have seen and learned so much, and seen people endure many hardships and cruelty. But I have also witnessed great feats of bravery, of honour, of mercy and humble virtue.

Some might ask why The Light allows hardships and cruelty to take place, but I say that such hardships are not The Light, they are caused by mortal imperfections, all of us from the lowliest to the highborn of Citadel are imperfect, and The Light loves us for it.

It does not wish us to be puppets dancing on strings carrying out some sorry play of perfection, because in such a world, we would not truly be good, for we have never overcome the hardships that define us and teach us the true strength of kindness, mercy and love.

We must struggle every day to overcome our weaknesses, so that we may truly glorify The Light not just through words, but through our actions.

The Light asks us not to blindly obey, but to think each day on how we may embody the virtues that it loves and stands for, and make the lives of those around us better.

May The Light watch over all of you.

Will that do?

>>23895557
>like in Lea's case, the cure is sometimes worse than the disease
I'm pretty sure being ugly is not worse than dying of cancer.

>>23895244
Maverick Hunter Quest. Other than suggestions of Gay robosex by some anons no smut has been made.

>>23895589
The level of pain she went through vs dying slowly is arguable though.

>>23895572
You take a deep breath and begin.

"It's been less than a year since I set out from River's Cross, but it feels like it's been far longer. I have seen and learned so much, and seen people endure many hardships and cruelty. But I have also witnessed great feats of bravery, of honour, of mercy and humble virtue.

"The Light asks us not to blindly obey, but to think each day on how we may embody the virtues that it loves and stands for, and make the lives of those around us better. May The Light watch over all of you." You say.

The congregation applauds, and Father Uriah shakes you hand, nodding and thanking you. He then leads the church in a lovely rendition of 'Light, Light, Make the Darkness Suffer In Fear' another favorite with lots of clapping. (Honestly, why must the nice hymns be so terribly dull?) He then ends with a full blessing on everyone, mentioning all the settlers, and the Dawnchasers by name. He sends everyone off with a "Blessed be, amen."

>>23895661
That piece of drama over, you go back to your house. You unlock the door and go inside. The memories are everywhere...and apparently so are a few wood splinters from Father's broken bed, along with a few shallow holes in the wall that probably match Tara's horns. Isen...

You sigh and head to your own bed/nest and start to get ready for what'll be the last nice sleep for a while.

There's a knock on the door.

"Hey, it's me." Tricia says.

>>23895669
Let her in.

>>23895669
"Come on in.

Do you think my speech was good enough?"

>>23895669

"Tricia? I thought you'd be staying with your parents."

>>23895736
"Come on in." She comes in. She points at the kettle, you nod, and she quickly makes two cups of tea for the both of you.

"Do you think my speech was good enough?"

She nods, she's staring into her tea, looking at something deep within it. "How...how old is that naga, the one we call Granny?" She asks. It's obvious that she isn't here to talk about *Granny's* lifespan.

>>23895782
"Old, very old.

Technically she could live forever, as long as she doesn't birth a child in the...uh... traditional way."

>>23895782
"Hum... Old enough to be wise. So, disclett for your thoughts."

>>23895782
"I don't know truly how old she is but from the way she talked and what she talked about. Old old."

>>23895806
"Old, very old. Technically she could live forever, as long as she doesn't birth a child in the...uh... traditional way." You say.

"Oh..." Tricia says. "Is...is that just a Naga thing?"

>>23895782
"She's...old. I'm not sure exactly how old, but definitely hundreds of years."

>lamia quest starts
>OH BOY
>comcast shuts down internet for an hour
Well, at least we had a good sermon while I was out.

>>23895782
"Old. Once we reach maturity we stop ageing until we give birth."

>>23895817
"I...no, I don't, uh, think so. I mean, I, uh..."

maximum uncomfortable.

>>23895817
"...no. According to Granny, the same is true for Lamia."

Oh boy is this a difficult conversation to have.

>>23895806
Lets... leave out the "traditional way" part lest she think we just are using her for a child without 'paying' so to speak or something.

>>23895837
"I...no, I don't, uh, think so. I mean, I, uh..."

She nods. She finishes her tea. "I think I'm going to go sleep with my folks tonight." She kisses you on the cheek as she gets up. "See you tomorrow."

She heads towards the door.

>>23895817
>Is that just a naga thing?

"Well... no. I might live a really long time, if I don't dive in front of assassins and the like too much."

>>23895867
Hug that girl!

Don't let that girl leave without a good hug!

Try not to think about what the frequency of our hug giving throughout this quest has to do with our lamia heritage.

>>23895867
"Goodnight. I love you."

>>23895867
"Wait."

Go after her and hug her.

"I know things are going to be... odd, between us, but you had to know that going into a relationship with a Lamia. But whatever the future might hold, I want you to know that I love you, and I always will."

>>23895898
You slide over and hug her. She lets you, but she doesn't hug you back.

"I...I think I'm going to need a little time...heh." She shakes her head. "I still...this changes things, but it doesn't change things. Okay?"

>>23895863
To be fair, it really is the only way for us to have a child with her at all... apparently human/lamia doesn't take if its lamia side if I remember correctly.

>>23895939
"Okay. Goodnight."

>>23895939
"Change is fine. Enjoy your time with your parents."

Seriously, she should enjoy it while she can.

>>23895939
"I ... I understand ... have a good night."

>>23895939
"Tricia... I love you, and I always will, take as much time as you need. Goodnight."

>>23895968
"Tricia... I love you, and I always will, take as much time as you need. Enjoy your time with your parents. Goodnight."

"Goodnight." She says as she leaves.

You sleep in your own bed, but this is the first night in a while that you didn't have Tricia wrapped around you, and you around her.

You realize that your scales can feel very cold when you're alone.

The next day everyone's back to normal. Tricia smiles at you and gives you a kiss on the cheek. Mage and Peri/Mari are bickering, and Lea's trying to get Tara to comb the mess that is her hair. Isen's tending to the princess, and the other settlers are dealing with their own belongings or families. The community sees you off on the road with a basket of sweet bread, good wishes, and lots of good byes and waves.

"Okay," Mage says when you're on the road. "You want me to try the haste spell?"

>>23895939
"Tricia, I... Yeah. That's fine. Change is fine. Sorry for not telling you in an earlier awkward conversation, I can just only handle so much in a sitting I think. Enjoy your time with your parents."

I submitted a second, differently written comment. I hope that's legit and not some kind of terrible samefagging.

>>23896080
"...it won't blow us all up, will it?"

>>23896080
"Well, first can you tell me how it works? I trust you, but your schools of magic are a bit ehhhhh" Shake your hand as if to illustrate something being shakey during the ehh.

>>23896080
Hey echo, how long do elves live? And dwarves? Do quarter elf/dwarves gain benefits from that?

>>23896119
"Well, first can you tell me how it works? I trust you, but your schools of magic are a bit ehhhhh...it won't blow us all up, will it?"

"No. No. Maybe the animals." Mage says. "But I'm pretty sure that they'll be fine. Uhh, basic version...super charges their muscles, hearts, lungs, and the motor skills in their brains. Also makes their skeletons stronger. They go faster and without tiring. For a while, then they stop and they're going to need to rest and eat a LOT of grass and food." Mage nods. "That or all those things I mentioned will rupture and explode. But I'm pretty sure I got it down. Also, it isn't Ghoul magic...kinda...I mean it's based off of some fleshshaper stuff, but I made it MUCH safer and no need to eat things other than what people normally eat."

>>23896170
Add 50 years for a full blood of either. Peri's got an extra 10.

>>23896201
"Wait, you've figured out fleshshaper magic without cannibalism? I'm no magician, but that sounds very impressive and like you should win some kind of special magic trophy or something. We should check at the next staves guild.

Have you tried it on anything yet? Like a mouse, or chicken, or something we don't need as much as a horse?'

>>23896201
"Alright, I trust you. Go for it but be careful. Better to check for any kinks in the spell now than when we're under attack anyway." toothy grin at the last statement.

>>23896210
shit, so we're REALLY out there lifespan-wise.

>>23896232
"Wait, you've figured out fleshshaper magic without cannibalism? I'm no magician, but that sounds very impressive and like you should win some kind of special magic trophy or something. We should check at the next staves guild." You say.

Mage shakes his head, "Not that big of a deal."

"Have you tried it on anything yet? Like a mouse, or chicken, or something we don't need as much as a horse?'

"I did try it on a few mice, and it worked well on one of them." He said.

"Is that where all those little bones that got embedded into the wagon came from?" Lea asks.

"Look, magic isn't always flawless." He looks at you. "Those were all early attempts. I swear."

>>23896243
>>23896280

>>23896305
>>23896280
Yyyeah, I wanna trust him here.

"Alright, I trust you. Go for it but be careful. Better to check for any kinks in the spell now than when we're under attack anyway."

"You really love cursing us, don't you?" Mage says as he begins to cast the spell.

>>23896340
"I prefer to think of it as foresight."

Immediately get covered in horse parts because you didn't think to duck.

>>23896340
Fzzt....bzzz...chunnnnnnn.

"So...did it work?"

"Hah! At least we still have all our horses. Don't worry, you'll nail it next time. Onward!"

Return any goodbye waves that are still happening, and get going.

>>23896406
>THIS IS WHY I NEED A SHIELD

We are -never- getting that fucking shield.

>>23896408
"So...did it work?"

"Not so much, no." He sighed. "But no exploding horses. I think I know what happened, actually, it worked...but I only adjusted the mass in them equal to a mouse."

Anyway, the week goes by smoothly.

Do you want to keep trying to be more fluent in Phoenix Tongue, if so, roll 1d20. You want Mage to try to cast haste again?

Let's try a bit more fluency, to see if we can pick up on it well. If not, we might change over, since we don't really have Isen tutor advantage any more.

I am neutral as to the mage issue, and will flip a coin for it. 1 is yes, 2 is no.

>>23896562
Dude, I am so glad you like it! I don't do it for rerolls, just for the love of the story you're telling. Though if I get a vote on how rerolls are spent, I say we save one for if Ssen and Tricia try for a kid, just to make sure things go well. I want our wasp witch safe.

You're nearly perfectly fluent, you've gotten better at Isen at understanding the metaphors.

>>23896641
"HA!" You look at the horses, they look incredible, slightly bigger, they breath quicker, and you can see their hearts thudding under their skin. When Mage has them run around the wagons as a test, the ground shudders slightly.

"Am I good or am I good?!" Mage says as he twirls his staff.

>>23896733
Congrats, you are now fluent in Phoenix Tongue, Princess Mumei is gobsmacked that a King Snake can sing a song. She says that you must have been a crazy bird in an earlier life that soared in the winter storms because you could, and when you passed, you dared the Great Phoenix to give you a challenge...so It made you a Snake in this life.

"Uhh, Ssen." Peri/Mari says. "You may want to see this." She hands you a spy glass.

There's kind of a tent town, maybe a few ramshackle sheds as well, set up along the coast.

- -FIRST STONE HALL- - A sign proudly proclaims. - - HOLDING TO THE TRUE LIGHT - -

"If we go through there, we'll be in Stone Hall no troubles, but..." Peri points.

You can see that there's a clear sign on what looks like a trading post. - - NO LIZARDS, OR LIZARD LOVERS ALLOWED - - A sign proudly proclaims.

"We can go around them, but..." Mari shrugs.

>>23896873
"Well, it IS their trading post. I think we probably count as lizards.

We could say hello, but it would be unkind to barge through."

>>23896898
er, think I probably count as a lizard.

>>23896873
Problems!
Well, we kind of saw that one coming. Let's go around, we can figure something out later.

"We can go around and leave them to their ignorance."

>>23896873
I think it would be best to go around until we've had a chance to get a better idea of the situation in Stone Hall.

>>23896937
How rude.

>>23896937
We should save them from their ignorance, because Citadel will use them regain its foothold in Stone Hall.

Going in right now would be foolish though, because we haven't had a chance to scout things out and learn what's going on, and the last thing we need is for some angry mob to attack the caravan full of non-combatants to get at us.

"I may not agree with the things they say or do, but I support their ability to do it."

"We can deal with this after getting our passengers here settled into their new homes. Wouldn't want anyone getting hurt if something happens after all."

>>23896982
Aye.

>>23896982
>>23896955
>>23896923

You sigh. "We'll be back, but we're going to deal with this. Just when we don't have all of these people with us."

"Agreed." Lea said.

You don't sense any of the Sparks and Shadow as you go past the town. This isn't Citadel...this is what happens when there ISN'T any Citadel Influence.

So, is /tg/ so paranoid in all its quests?

It's always super paranoid in the quests I join, but that could be because I just like the more paranoid quests.

>>23897149
The dice gods are dicks, we have every right to be paranoid.

>>23897149

I've found that most old school RPG players become increasingly paranoid. As a DM I can never use cursed items anymore because my players will never so much as touch an item without getting it run though every test in the game. No traps either because they refuse to move at more than a snails pace checking for traps. This hobby lives on paranoia, so it makes sense that a board dedicated to them would be rife with it.

>>23897149
This one is mostly because of the role we play. It's also a product of the fact that, while Ssen has only a second or so to think before spealking/acting in character, we have 5+ shrewd minds convening for minutes behind the scenes, which creates the effect of all of Ssen's acting seeming extremely calculating and wise.

>>23897149
/tg/ dice are godly trolls, we have reason for the paranoia.

we are talking rolling a 1, then seconds later the next 3 posters roll 19, 17, 20 tier trolling.

She is PLAINLY flying by the seat of her non-existant-pants. We got no idea how to be a paladin, but we're DOING IT ANYWAY!

>>23897123

You're less than two days away from Stone Hall, you can see it from here, and you're just starting to set up camp.

You hear the hoofbeats coming towards you and order everyone to get under the wagons for safety. Then they come out of the tree line. Six people on three horses. They have black canvas bags over their heads, the ones on horseback have torches and the ones riding with them have swords and one has an axe.

"Well...what do we have here?" One of the men says pointing his sword at you. "It's the queen freak herself."

"I heard this thing thinks it's supposed to be a Paladin." Another laughs. "I wonder if it takes confession." He grabs his crotch.

"You want to turn around now, Paladin Serpent." One of the horsemen says. "Take your freak-fuckers with you."

>>23897241
Do that thing caravan guards do where they whistle and their guards all pop out from concealed positions with bows pointed and ready. Hopefully we're good enough to do that.

"Now, why would a good city like yours want to avoid a paladin in town?"

>>23897241
"how about you leave and let us be? that way no one gets hurt and there is no fuss and yes I take confessions, why do you have something to confess?"

>>23897240
Knowledge =/= Wisdom

Solving a problem with knowledge is simply knowing how to do something.

Solving problems with wisdom is the uncanny ability to just fucking wing it with a fantastic guess and be right most every time. Because intuition and fast thinking.

>>23897278
Or should we not quite bristle fangs just yet? I don't mean to take drastic actions on my own.

>>23897288
Just keep it calm, and smile, not the nice smile though. The one that unnerves folks. Be civil and polite. Also, question why they are ashamed to show their faces to his light.
If conversation breaks down. >>23897278

>>23897286
We can't really let them leave if they're going to keep waylaying travellers, they are clearly dangerous, and who knows what they'll do to the next group who come along who can't put up a fight.

>>23897241
Respond with a yawn.

"That's cute. Mind not making a world of trouble for your little posse by accosting these innocent civilians and skilled tradesmen seeking to set up shop in your town? I'll gladly deal with your grievances afterward."

>>23897358
>>23897319
I sort of like a mix of these two

And instead of "deal with your grievances", it should be "Take your confessions".

>>23897332
yeah but I don't really want to risk the security of the people traveling with us, I'd come back later to take care of them but they are probably going and try to attack us anyway so meh

>>23897387
>>23897332
Yeah. Here is the deal.

We let them go if we can to keep our charges safe.

If they attack us while we are guarding our charges, we KILL THEM DEAD.

If they let us pass, we come back after our charges are deposited and CAPTURE them for APPROPRIATE SENTENCING.

>>23897286
"How about you leave and let us be? That way no one gets hurt and there is no fuss, and yes, I take confessions. Why do you have something to confess?"

There's a pause. You're not sure what's made them angrier. The fact that you're not scared of them, or that you offered them absolution in the name of the Light. "Let's teach this snake a lesson!" The one with the axe says.

Roll for initiative.
Rolling ally rolls. (Isen and Tara are guarding the princess and settlers. The Dawnchasers are the ones on the offensive.)

Tail wrap, drag the swordsman who struck us off his horse. (or if I'm mistaken and he's not mounted then constrict)

Cocksucking, hate mongering fuck bastard! Skeleton melting's too good for him!

Peri's second blade sinks into the guy's neck.

Lea then pushes her foot into the man's chest and springs off of it to deliver a flying elbow into the last horseman's head, he flies off his horse and smashes into a tree.

You miss with your sword, but your tail swing around the other way and slams into his chest hard. He falls to the ground, blood coming out of his mouth.

"Fuck...this one's still alive!" Tricia says as she looks at the guy.

She pulls off his mask. You don't recognize him, just anyone, really...young too. The axe guy is a bit older, same with the others, but the sword guy could be one of the Swing's children.

"They tried to kill us...because of you." The mother says as she gathers her children around her. She gives you the coldest look you've ever seen.

Mage sighs. "We're taking this one...like always, right?"

While it seems pretty unlikely that a pack of armed, masked men were haunting the roads just in case we came by, I doubt she'll listen to us.

So nod to Mage. "Of course."

>>23898239
To the swing woman: "They attacked us because of their own hatred for my race, to be precise, and they also failed to kill anyone; because of us. You may want to consider them an example of what hatred like that sows."

>>23898239
>>23898305
>>23898310
Don't try to talk her down that way.

Apologize. We're the guards of this caravan, and shouldn't have brought them through a path that had people like this. Being actually attacked is something of a failing, even if we do beat them, for a caravan guard.

>>23898310
"May His Light guide you to his side, free from the Darkness in your rest."

>>23898305
>>23898310
She's a mother who thinks her children could've died.

She's not going to listen to reason right now. Let it rest, we can talk to her later when she's calmed down.

>>23898343
Aye.

>>23898276
Yup. It's YOUR fault that the caravan was attacked, and YOU killed a boy that's just as old as HER children. You're a monster.

You nod. "Yeah...battle's done."
Tricia, and Lea patch up the group. Widdy, Barney, and Gregory watch the captive Purist.

"Fuckers have flyers." Peri says as she pulls out a piece of paper from one of the dead ones. she scans it. "Oh, Lea...this is going to piss you off." She hands it to her.

"Blah blah...keep our city and people pure...given to the cause...we gain this wisdom from the NEW Teachings of Light?!" Lea screeches. "What in all the Myriad Darknesses is this heresy?!"

>>23898344
dis

>>23898363
>It's YOUR fault the caravan was attacked
That's the only complaint there I care about, and it is somewhat true.

We need to show more strength of arm, or scout further ahead, to dissuade such attacks, and we failed, costing us several chunks of meat and the city several working youths, even if they were bigots.

>>23898343
>>23898348
Fuck you're right. Well then I suddenly feel filthy ie. like Odette.

>>23898363
"It seems like Odette wasn't the only one whose feathers were ruffled because of my confirmation."

And to the bitch wife:

"We are escorting you as a courtesy. If you feel that you won't be safe in our presence, you are always free to leave the caravan and travel to Stone Hall on your own. However, I will pray to the Light that you have a safe journey."

>>23898431
What, no.

Don't say that. What are you thinking. We really don't want to drive more people into the arms of the Purists.

>>23898363
Take a look at the flyer. We need to see this shit.

>>23898422
Why? All we're guilty of is looking different. Ssen is a person and Paladin first, Lamia second.

>>23898431
We're trying to be a paladin, remember. Telling someone under our protection: "fuck off and hopefully you won't die on the way" the first time they insult us is pretty shitty behaviour.

>>23898363
"Propaganda, Lea. The worst kind. Let's get the caravan safely to within Stone Hall's walls then quash this stupidity before it truly corrupts any more good minds.

>>23898477
What're you talking about?

We were objecting to getting angry at the mother for being angry at us. She thinks her children were in danger because of us, she's not going to act rationally, and we don't want to say something we can't take back because of it.

>>23898431
I've already voiced my opinion, and that is
>>23898343
>>23898408

anyways,

Check that flier I guess. I don't look forward to reading it.

>>23898477
Because my idea was >>23898310
And I didn't realize how cold, unsympathetic and self-righteous it was.

>>23898363
"I do apologize for the danger your children have been put in, and hope you can one day forgive me for it. It is my oath that none of them will be injured while they are under my watch, and I will guard them all the more fiercely on the way into town."

Is that good? I know it won't calm or assuage her, but I mean good from the sense of our obligations and requirements as both a paladin and a guard?

>>23898363

Smells like a successful power grab. Between the proclamation of the lizardmen as citizens of Stonehall and the past leadership of Stonehall being gutted by the ghoul attack, there would have been a lot of uncertainty and fear for a warlord or other subversive elements to take advantage of.

What I'm wondering about is what happened to that one dwarven paladin that was in charge of rebuilding things. If worse comes to worse, he may have been assassinated or otherwise disposed of.

>>23898464
They're all different. One is a typical propaganda piece, showing the threat of lizard corruption, a nasty caricature of Paladin Avery and his Occuli.

Another talks a LOT of shit about the Paladins. How they've fallen and how St. Odette was the only one to realize the corruption and was murdered by Julian Graves.

The third one is the one Lea saw. Apparently the church is corrupt and Her Illuminated Self is a puppet of a Darkness more fouler than any could imagine. (Well...a stopped clock...) And that there's the NEW Teachings of Light that show the way that people can regain what was lost.

The last is all about you, with a drawing that makes you into a giant, six armed, huge fanged monster that's devouring children. The Paladin Serpent who's coils are crushing out our lives and our life.

>>23898569
>St. Odette
Oh you have got to be shitting me.

>>23898568
Yeah. We need to look for him ASAP but he's likely in the city proper making sure things don't spread inside assuming he's still around.

>>23898595
Dude, she martyred herself HARD with that leap of faith. Of course this happened.

We are dumb for not predicting it.

>>23898608
Fucking Citadel. It's all Citadel's fault.

>>23898608
I'm more impressed with how fast it spread, considering that we took off literally within a couple of days of her death, and they had time to learn about it and print pamphlets on the other side of the country before we arrived.

>>23898569
Give a weighted glance at the others. "This stinks of shadows and sparks. Let's double time it."

>>23898569
>St. Odette
Not on my fucking watch.
This probably stemmed from a lot of things, but I think the main cause was the Lizard folk getting equal rights Stone Hall.

>>23898569
>Another talks a LOT of shit about the Paladins. How they've fallen
Yeah...
>and how St. Odette was the only one to realize the corruption
Pffft.

So anyway. They're getting a head-start in the ideological war. How we gonna fight this shit?

>>23898631
Actually, I doubt it is.

Shadow and Sparks likes things to be the same.

Building a new religion and proclaiming everything corrupt and in need of change is the opposite of what I'd expect Citadel to do.

I think this is simple human bigotry.

>>23898643
First we need to see how widespread this belief is. It could be a very small fringe group, or it could be a major movement in Stone Hall. Until we get there, we won't know.

>>23898628
>>23898655

Yup! This is what happens when Citadel stops. Citadel kept those people happy and content, Citadel kept the undesirables away, Citadel even integrated the elves and dwarves and 'eased' the minds of people like this.

This is what happens when all that goes away. This is the Citadel-less world.

>>23898655
"New" Religion focused on undoing the recent changes which citadel abhors, by portraying one of citadel's greatest tools as a martyr. There's a lot to be said for both sides of it.

I kind of expected something like this, Stone Hall is still suffering from the aftermath of the ghoul attack, and at the same time we forced a major cultural shift (the Lizardfolk being allowed into the city) onto them.

Confused, angry, hungry and scared people do not welcome the unknown.

Tell me about it.

>>23898667
These people do want Citadel back, but they aren't aware of what it was. So, they're lashing out. Spoiled children not getting what they want, and temper tantrums.

So this IS thanks to Citadel, but not a direct influence of the Shadows and Sparks. This is just humans being humans.

Things are difficult now, so naturally it's someone else's fault.

>>23898731
Time for a foot up the ass then.

>>23898569
>The last is all about you, with a drawing that makes you into a giant, six armed, huge fanged monster that's devouring children.

We Maralith now.

Anyway, let's keep going to Stone Hall. I suspect we might want to go in separately from the rest. Until we know how strong an influence this group has in the city, it wouldn't be safe for any of the rest of the people here to be seen as our friends.

>>23898747
We have no feet.

>>23898731
That's nice of them.

Changes going to happen even if we drag them kicking and screaming into the Light.

>Things are difficult now, so naturally it's someone else's fault.
Well it actually is. It's Peace's fault.

>>23898747
Does Lea's foot count?

>>23898731
We really need to get this under control, otherwise these people will welcome Citadel back into their lives with open arms.

I think we're going to have to put our travels on hold until we've sorted things out here.

>>23898792
Agreed. This is our "safe haven" so lets make sure it's safe.

>>23898759
They can't be all that legitimate since they're running around with bags on their heads. But' they're still a credible threat.

Your caravan rolls into Stone Hall. Finally. The other families split off. The Swings bolt at the first sign, but Dunraven is very polite, and the Quails thank you a lot and it looks like they've been honestly talking and fighting less, the Rawes shake your hand and give you a promissary note for the rest of your fee.

The four exiles, and Sophie, stay with you as you roll through town to the Mayor's Manor.

Stone Hill looks slightly bad. Graffiti with slurs are visible. Every fifth store has NO SCALES ALLOWED or SCALES ENTER IN BACK. One shop looks like it's been looted.

You can occasionally see Purist propaganda slapped up on alleys or littering the street.

It's not all bad though. For every one NO SCALES sign, there's two LIZARDS WELCOME. Plenty of propaganda that's a bit gushy but positive about the Paladins and how nice the lizard people are.

And in one of the parks, there's a human speaking on a soapbox decrying the hate and loathsomeness of the Purists.

But the air itself feels tense.

(Welcome to the fantasy equivalent of 1960's Birmingham Alabama.)

>>23898792
The problem is that getting things like this under control generally requires decades of gradual cultural change.

We can't just roll into town and beat up the Purists, it'll just make more Purists.

>>23898731
I propose these things

FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS: we got STABBED. can we fix the STAB WOUNDS? maybe get some bedrest?
"Tricia, those guys got a few good ones in on me. Can you look at them? I'm not feeling so hot."

SECOND ORDER OF BUSINESS: Maybe apologize or at least say something to the butcherwife?

THIRD ORDER OF BUSINESS: Meet the dwarf paladin to discuss plans on this movement

Does this sound like acceptable to everyone?

>>23898841
I want to go listen to that hatespeech, but we need to talk to the mayor.

Also how are our stabwounds?

>>23898841
Off to meet Avery, we need to introduce the others to him anyway, since some of them are going to be working for him.

>>23898869
(Except our nigger bandleader has the ability to smite evil. I think.)

>>23898887
It's been a day and a half, you're all patched up and ready to go get sliced up again.

>>23898887
>hatespeech
He's decrying the Purists as a violent hate group.

It's not really a hatespeech, except against the Purists.

>>23898841
Is it bad I'm actually fine with this? I mean, I'd rather have arguements and fighting rather than mindless complacency.

>>23898908
I thought decrying meant a similar thing to extolling

>>23898874
Can you stop with the caps, please. It gets really annoying to read.

>>23898914
yeah, it's a certain improvement.

Now we need to fix it even more.

>>23898914
It's good that people are thinking for themselves, not so much that there's hate crimes and looting.
