15 KB PNG

As you and your forces advance through Mier province, you notice soldiers occasionally joining your army. As you pass a village or town, a soldier or two might come out in their gear and greet your men like old friends. Probably, you think, because they are old friends. A lot of these newcomers are likely veteran soldiers who had returned to their homes with the fall of Darlesia or even earlier. Now, at the sight of General Talon marching through the province and the widespread knowledge of the queen’s death (Felix told you that the news had been very suddenly spread throughout Vitria in the days he had started his preparations to leave), these men are coming out to join you. Whether it’s the plague of robber barons sweeping through former Darlesian territory, allegiance to old Darlesian or respect for your own abilities is unknown, but at the same time it matters little. If these men will fight for you, then you will represent them regardless of their reason simply for their loyalty. Just as you told Undine, you will see that your men can have a future and a cause they can believe in alongside your own ambitions.

Outside the small town of Trei, you make camp. Arail’s knights who have been investigating the province are to meet with you here and give you all the information they have gathered. You wait for a short while, poring over the local map and notable locations.

PROVINCE
Name: Mier
Owner: Independents
Control: Very Low
Order: Very Low
Population: 500,000
Military Presence: Very Low; Moderate
Resources: Extensive mine network; high quality quarries
Notable Locations:
>Curton - an odd fortress-town that lines the area bordering the Marnn mountains and much of the mine network there. Despite the seeming size of the fortress, the walls are not stone and the populace is relatively small - it is simply long to protect the mines.
>Toulon - a large trading town on the main road to Vitria, Toulon has some high quality smiths and other manufactures.

After a short while, your present cabinet members – Maloric, Glynn, Felix, Undine and Moss join you. You haven’t yet decided whether to invite Arail’s replacement to your cabinet – your cabinet should only be so large, and you already feel as though it is overrepresented in professional soldiers. Lieutenant Illon, who was in charge of scouting and is supposedly of Vitria before moving to Darlesia, reports the status of the province.

>Curton
Curton is currently under the control of Count Bernn, an infamous coward as Glynn calls him. He is little more than a robber baron currently, maintaining a large number of toughs to intimidate the mining town and the surrounding farming villages. Still, the walls are sturdy and your men estimate he has around 1500 of these brutes, even if they are untrained. The populace may support you in an uprising but you will need to be careful of Bernn’s cabinet, which supposedly involves some rogue Darlesian mages.

>Toulon
Toulon has been split into three factions – the mayor, the militia and some three hundred Darlesian soldiers are trying to maintain order, whereas a bandit leader driven north by the RSK has taken root nearby with a large number of rogues and mercenaries. To complicate matters, Taour has a small contingent of knights present who are doing nothing but watching but will likely act if we move on the city.

Maloric, Felix and Moss feel that Curton’s resources justify the extra risk and that Toulon can keep the peace for a little longer. Glynn and Undine feel that the people of Toulon need to be freed from terror ASAP, and that Curton is simply being ruled like it was before – Glynn especially is worried about Taour taking the town.

Vote cut-off. Tie-breaker as I think it's tied right now.

1 - Curton
2 - Toulon

Rolled 2

FYI, I didn’t count >>29153377 as a vote due to the way it was worded.

>1.

You decide to move on Curton, favouring its resources. With that said, you are still worried about another faction seizing Toulon, so you will try to engage in communication with the settlement – if you can spare some soldiers and that will aid them, it will be to your advantage later. It will be four-five days at the very earliest before you can be in Toulon after Curton, and if the bandits have some mages they could wreak havoc.

In taking Curton, there will be some risk. You only see three real options.

>1. Full assault
You will take your army and besiege the settlement. Without any forewarning, it’s likely many of Brenn’s toughs will be caught outside of the walls. You can then force your way in and crush them. Casualties amongst townspeople will likely be minimised here, but you won’t have any assistance.

>2. Work with the people in uprising
If you can get the people to side with you (or even get some of the toughs to aid you over Brenn) then you can have assistance. The time it will take to do this will likely allow Brenn to reinforce though. The townspeople will likely take some casualties as a result of aiding you but may feel better having overthrown their leader themselves.

>3. Stealth mission
You take an elite squad in and defeat Brenn and his cabinet, whilst fomenting an uprising. If successful, you will seize the town with no military casualties and minimal civilian losses, but the difficulty will be high (and somewhat unknown given your lack of knowledge of Brenn’s cabinet).

Alright, so I don't know if this is possible but since he is just a robber baron, and a well known coward, I have an idea for a tactic. It is known that Undine can create ice, can she make a wall of ice that is reflective? And then we position it behind our forces that are drawn out a bit thinner then usual, at just the angle so it looks like a mirror maze, as in our forces look doubled/tripled by the mirage.

Just create a sheer intimidation factor, I assume our name is enough to make him shake, but "fluffing" our forces and then showing up might make it even easier.

As a note there isn't any diplomacy with this one. We're going to take the city.

Undine could do this given a half-hour or so (and your mages could move it easily), though the enemy may realise the deception.

>>29153814
You know what, I'll change my vote to this from this
>>29153823
It is not a bad idea at all.

My only thing with the Sneak Attack option is what are we going to do with the 1500 brutes afterwards? We can't conscript them, that wouldn't reflect well on us, and if we drive them off they might come back under some other robber baron or they might join the other rebels that we have to deal with.

>>29153927
Cannon fodder

>>29153814
This plan depends on all our enemies to be blind. One single scout can topple the whole thing

>>29153927
The townspeople would probably lynch many if they could, but you're right that the rest would just move on to cause trouble.

Currently a tie. I'd rather not resolve two votes in a row with dice, so the next vote wins it.

>>29153983
Can we have a few mins to discuss the merits of the aforementioned deception?

>>29153983
3

>>29154001
Sure. I still feel like death warmed up, so it'll give me a chance to write both options. Otherwise, I'll give it to the stealth mission unless somebody makes a really convincing case for the deception in the next ten minutes or so.

>>29153983
And can we have more information on the layout of the area around the city, or is it in the paste bin? Because if their is a forest around the place, we could add a lot more campfires randomly placed throughout the forest to further give the impression of a larger force, while having the troops we do have constantly keeping an eye out for scouts that we can capture or kill.

>>29154054
We are not fighting retarded, blind cavemen that can't count. I honestly cannot see how this will work.

but by all means, convince me

>>29154054
It's cleared land around the walls for about half a kilometre or so. The town itself is about two miles long, but quite narrow as the houses run alongside the mines. There are likely quite a few of the toughs patrolling, given that there's way too many to be supported by the town (which is only about 6000 people).

>>29154078

I think it's more plausible just because of the high magic setting. Using illusions and magic to disguise the forces we actually have against a coward who may very well be just a bandit with no sense of recon or siege warfare might just work long enough, we're not saying it'll hold the entire time, that it'll scare him and his brutes. Just enough so we can launch a frontal assault, maybe with a case of Sneak Attack on the side?

>>29154078
Really the whole thing hinges on how much of a coward the guy is, if we can somehow capture a scout of his, and convince that one scout we have a huge force, then allow him to "escape" in some way to head back to tell the robber baron about we would have a much easier time of fooling him, this coupled with the magical mirrors of Undine and a little sorcery, along with our reputation might just make him shit his pants.

I know it was said Undine can't directly control weather, but could she also do a low hanging mist? Obscure our forces further and make the illusion possibly work?

>>29154134

Yes it is a high magic setting, he will probably have mages that are able to count, scry and disbelieve extra campfires and a mirror made out of magical ice.

>>29154183
And they'll most likely be second-rate, easily tricked by a much more skilled magician, in fact, if we could somehow intercept their scrying and give them a sort of "false reading" that would even work better in our favor.

>>29154209

We do have Mal and Undine, they might know how to cause "interference".

>>29154209
We will just have to agree to disagree on this subject.

My vote is still on striketeam, and our army arriving just after to mop up leaderless bandits and protecting the local populace.
High risk, high gain.

>>29154237
If they can then this plan might have a lot more merit then it did originally, would they be able to Aspirational?

>>29154134
>>29154183
The rumours suggest he has some capable mages in his cabinet that used to serve in Darlesian towers. Their specialities are unknown, but it wouldn't be hard for them to have focused sight or some way of detecting magic. Maloric could prevent the latter but not the former. He estimates that it's probably even odds of them noticing it, even if you try a lot of tricks and catch out their patrols, simply due to the mages.

With the vote falling the way it did, and still a fair level of skepticism, I'm going to go with the stealth mission. Post very shortly.

Can we just do the thng we votee for already? This deception thing is clearly a bad idea anyway.

>3.

Time is of the essence, so you figure that a stealth mission is the best way to approach this. It also leaves the option of sending men to Toulon to help them if necessary, as you will only need an occupation force not a besieging army.

You brief your cabinet on this and get a general round of nods and agreement.

Felix speaks, “It seems a most impressive and enjoyable way to seize the town, sire. Although my comrades aren’t here for me to fight alongside, it will be my honour to fight alongside you in such a battle.” He seems rather excited, though whether it’s from the chance to fight alongside you or just the chance of battle is another matter.

Glynn raises a bushy eyebrow. “You’re a general, Felix, and our Imperator is a force of nature. One of you needs to remain behind to command, and I doubt it will be him.”

Felix nods, looking somewhat put out but understands his duty. His quick glance to you suggests that he still hopes you will choose him.

SUGGESTED PARTY
Talon York
Caitlyn
Maloric
Undine

>Any changes? Such as adding Felix, an arcane archer or a flying knight?

>Also, throw in any plans you might have for fomenting rebellion amongst the populace. You could try the deception trick here, if you like. Otherwise, it'll be up to the commander you leave behind.

>>29154251
>>29154269
>>29154273
That's perfectly fine and reasonable. It's a collaborative game after all.

>>29154291
I guess we can bring Felix but tell Lyn to keep an eye on him

>>29154291

Setting up the deception outside of the city might very well work as a clean up, with the mages distracted by us it would probably be much more viable. Because we need to make sure we finish them off best we can, they would cause nothing but problems down the line.

Rebellions will likely start as soon as they hear rumours of Talon York marching, and seeing the griffon in banners outside their city will probably make the place erupt.

Could Mal do a little extra enchanting trick for us? I know Lynn as a magic helmet that disguises her voice, could we make one for Felix that has our voice with an enhance voice function? Give him a speech to read out, and try to incite the smallfolk that way, and confuse the enemy further.

>>29154344
And what happens if he dies?

>>29154344
On a stealth mission like this - more people is not necessarily better. Furthermore, Felix is an unknown quality, we're not sure of his true loyalty just yet. The team is fine as is in my opinion.

As for fermenting rebellion among the populace, let's leave it to Felix as a test of his command abilities.

>>29154420
Felix says, "No need for an enchantment, sire. Voice projection and modification isn't that difficult - I was a mage in a past life, before I realised my true calling. I don't quite have your imposing figure, but I doubt they'll be able to tell at such a distance and through my armor."

>>29154291
I think that undine is best described as a force of nature rather than us

>>29154426
To keep an eye on him as to be sure he is not planning to kill us or something

I guess I am the only one who is going paranoid with all the potential betrayals in this threads, last thread I kept saying for us to not fully trust Sarah yet

>>29154508

Nah it's okay, he'll still be surrounded by the rest of our forces and loyal men outside the town. If he does something out there, they'll put him down.

That said, no I too am a bit ehhh on him and Sarah. But we'll have to have a little faith.

>>29154291
don't bring felix, otherwise I'm fine with the strategies here:
>>29154420
>>29154487

>No changes to party
>Felix will be responsible for rebellion, likes the voice trick. Undine will provide the ice wall for him to use.

You march your army towards Curton. As it is only a day’s march, you rest the night nearby. At dawn, your party sets off to enter the city and your army intends to be a few hours behind. You dress down slightly, with the intention of appearing to be an escort for a magister.

Curton itself is less imposing and more strange as a town. The wooden walls stand only twice the height of a man, although they are heavily patrolled, and the town stretches as far as the eye can see either way, but only a short way up the incline. The mines and their infrastructure take up more room than the town, and you can see the machinery and people milling about on the rises. As you come up to the gate, you see a handful of poorly dressed guards. They wear some dirty Darlesian armor and tabards, but clearly haven’t cleaned them in a week. The eye you with grins as you enter and decide to cause you trouble and prevent entrance. You sigh, but hadn’t really expected things to go so easily.

>2. Plus bribery

You take the backseat in this one, figuring that Maloric will have it well in hand. He does love acting like a pompous ass, after all.

“Oh joy, ruffians. Please don’t touch me – or any of my escorts, in case they need to touch me later. I’d rather not have to waste time disinfecting myself,” Maloric says, his voice a sarcastic drawl.

“The hell is that supposed to mean? We’re gonna touch you all we like!”

“Don’t say that, idiot. You make us sound like… shit, I can’t remember but just don’t. What beeznez does a wizard have here?”

Dumb and dumber you figure. Neither are sharp, but the fat one actually seems to have some brains, unlike his brawny friend. The other three toughs linger further behind – these two are clearly the leaders.

“Well, there is a mine here, and that means there are things I can use for magic. I could get more detailed but I fear I’ve already lost you.”

The talking down approach appears to be making them angrier and you wonder whether you’ll need to step in. Fortunately, Maloric still has a trick up his sleeve – or five, really, and suddenly shines five brass coins.

“These are money – you use them to purchase goods and service with which to… well, not so much enjoy, given how miserable your lives no doubt are, but at least suffer a little less in your time here. I will give one to each of you, if you let use through, don’t talk anymore and be extra careful not to touch us.”

Despite the small amount, they seem pleased at the money. As the fat one opens his mouth to talk, Maloric interrupts him with a reminder not to talk and you start moving on as he flicks the coins to each of them with some minor sorcery.

You’re in. Now, to spend some time scouting or simply charge on in…

Sounds like a plan...

>1 & 2

You split up, Undine with you and Maloric with Lynn. Figuring that having Mal wandering around talking to random people will attract a lot of attention, you instead let him pose as an eccentric mage.

“I’m not the most eccentric person, Tal, and my acting is pretty poor,” he’s trying to tell you.

“Acting? Maloric, you don’t need to act. You’re a mage and that means no matter what you do you’ll be eccentric – especially around metals and this town. The dwarves always used to joke about the way you behaved towards the various alloys they would have,” Lynn says, voice as innocent as ever.

You figure to leave the two to their squabbling – no need to interrupt a friendly fight, and explore the town and chat with the townspeople.

>target met

You do your best to tone down your usual attitude and speech habits. It’s difficult – you’ve spent a lot of time in the past training yourself and your voice to achieve the tone you have, and even more making sure you have the right posture. The Seraphi nobles had been brilliant to practice against but sometimes you fear it worked too well. Still, it seems to work well enough and you believe most of the peasants you speak to buy into the idea that you’re a mercenary – or at most part of Imperator York’s recon team, judging from some of the news and looks you get. Felix has been waving banners, which has been dutifully reported by some of the patrolling toughs, and news has already been spread by your scouts.

Undine gives you an odd look as you walk towards the meeting place with Mal and Lynn. “I must say, I’m surprised how normal you passed as recently.”

“Normal? I don’t think I’m that strange.”

Undine laughs lightly. “You’re not strange, but you’re certainly not normal. Most men could not pass as you no matter how hard you tried – but the image you give off also makes it hard for you to pass as somebody normal. It’s not just your charisma or your ambition – there’s something else about you… I can’t place it, but it makes you appear larger than life. You seem to be able to ‘turn it off’ right now but that might not always be so.”

You aren’t sure what to make of that, but before long you’re with Maloric and Lynn and collating information.

The townspeople are looking forward to your arrival – or Felix’s really. The mines and smelters are busy, and there’s been a lot of trade taking place. Even the toughs can tell, and you suspect that Brenn’s holding them by a thread.

The castle is heavily guarded, and he supposedly has three mages and a very imposing knight. In fact, you know the knight – Sir Roderic, formerly a Marshall of Darlesia and a knight. Why he’s serving Brenn is beyond you, but he’s a threat and despises you. If you go through the mines, there’s supposedly a secret entrance – it’ll be guarded by magical traps and you’ll need to get into the mines. The count keeps his bedroom at the very top, along with most of his personal rooms, and are accessible from a very large balcony.

>Dramatic failure

The teleport seems successful, and you’re suddenly very high up. Too high. You’re very certain the four of you are falling, and you’ll likely go splat.

“I am going to gut you, Mal!” you roar, as you pull out your shield. You’ve appeared almost a hundred metres in the air above the balcony, and you feel the wards trigger as you go through them, alerting the foe to your presence and ripping at your armor futilely – Mal at least had the sense to throw a simple defensive charm on the four of you in case the wards reacted violently to your intrusion.

You’re about to hit the ground. Time to see if you can’t save all your arses…

Why doesn't it?

>>29155781
>>29155786
I think i'm mixing it up with another quest, but here are the rules.
3. Rolling involves at least three posts correctly rolling a D20 and quoting the post with the DC requirement. If there are less than three rolls after some time, the QM may roll the remaining dice. If more 1s are rolled than 20s, a Dramatic Failure occurs and if more 20s are rolled than 1s, an Exceptional Success occurs. Rolling equal to or above the DC is otherwise a success - if one 20 and one 1 is rolled, it also counts as a success.

>>29156224
I intended it that way (25% chance of a crit or critfail), but I understand that some people might not like it. Crits and critfails play into my mechanics quite well.

>Target met

As you are about to hit the ground, you channel two blasts of magic through your shield – one barrier at the ground and one at yourselves. The magic of the two sparks, along with Maloric’s attempt to save the four of you, and you feel as though you’ve been hit with a block of stone from both sides and nearly pass out from the pain. You hold it together, and luckily the magic holds and the four of you land softly on the ground. You push yourself up off the ground, knowing the enemy is approaching.

You growl at Maloric, “Next time, I’d rather a tree.”

“If there was one around, I would have aimed for it. Now let’s get moving – if the count’s the coward he’s rumoured to be, he’s likely already fleeing.”

You charge into the adjoining bedroom, only to encounter a pair of slightly better armored toughs than earlier. You make short work of them, and charge out into the hallway. The castle itself seems to be a standard Darlesian design and is very similar to some of the northern RSK castles so you think you know your way around it. From the way the castle meets the hillside, the secret entrance must be underground. You charge to where you believe the great hall will be, which will let you shortcut three levels down the five-storey castle, dealing with the cannon fodder in your war with little issue. Once there, however, you find a big problem.

“Ah, Talon York. I’ve heard you think yourself some sort of King, now. Well, no matter, I shall kill you and show them all how pathetic you truly are – and why the queen was a fool to choose you.” If you didn’t know better, you’d think Sir Roderic held a grudge. Roderic himself is as big as yourself, but with considerably more expensive armour. No runes for him, which means he has some very capable passive enchantments, judging from the sheer amount of sorcery you sense from the armor.

Unwilling to give Roderic a chance to stop them, you barrel over the balcony down into the hall – a rather long drop, and empower yourself on the way. Roderic grips his greataxe with both hands and swings to meet you…

Battlefield Control I – increases all attributes by one when fighting in a battlefield of own creation.
Battlefield Basics I – proficiency in all general battlefield skills (dodging, blocking etc).
Sorcery (Instinctive) I – ability to use basic sorcery. This sorcery is instinctive rather than properly learnt. You don’t need a focus to cast and are better at ad hoc spells.

Empower Self I – you use sorcery to increase your physical attributes by one point for one hour.
Ad Hoc Projection I – you may project raw magical energy up to melee distance of minor strength. This projected energy may be used as a barrier, to deflect magical attacks or to propel oneself a moderate distance at high speed. The ad hoc nature of this ability makes it versatile, if weak.
Barrier Break I – you can penetrate weak magic barriers, and damage stronger ones, by imbuing some magic into your blows. This also works well against physical barriers.
Focus Self I – by meditating for a short while, your magical channeling improves for your next spell (effectively increasing magic by one for the next spell)
Stat Range: A commoner might have STR 0, a soldier STR 1, a strong soldier STR 2. STR 3 is around normal human peak, but exceptional humans can get to STR 5 in this world without becoming magical. The same applies to all stats, with the exception of MAG and RES. They are magical in origin so don't have normal limits.

… but you’re not stupid enough to meet him. You surge some magic in an attempt to dodge him with a barrier against his axe, but he moves faster than expected and his axe cleaves hard into your breastplate. His magically empowered blow knocks you back and into a wall.

“Talon!” you hear Undine yell, and you have a pretty good feeling this one-on-one fight isn’t one-on-one anymore as you hear a sudden shattering of ice.

>you feel battered and weaker than usual. HP at half.

Surging to your feet, you need to aid Undine, who is standing on the floor above you, preparing another wave of icicles to rain down on Roderic. For his part, he is standing firm, though his stance is belied by the icicle protruding from his right leg. Undine most likely tagged him when he attempted to follow-up on his strike.

Oh. I just thought it was like that status effect WEAK which reduces your max HP to half for a short time. I guess that makes more sense.

>1.

You’re not in a position to risk yourself too much after the recent troubles you’ve had. Deciding to take advantage of Undine’s self-professed all-rounder capabilities, you elect to take a tag-team approach: you’ll assault him in close quarters whilst she bombards him with magic, then you’ll alternative and she’ll fight in close quarters and you’ll rest. For the future, you think you’ll bring a bow so you can be a tad more useful – you know how to use one, after all.

Deciding to get a start, you charge in against the wounded Roderic first, as he braces and blocks Undine’s icicles.

Your blade pierces through Roderic’s guard and through his right arm. He howls like the wounded beast he is and swings wildly at you, but you bounce back out of range. You hear him hiss as he overextends himself on his right leg, and Undine is quick on the punch. You feel the snap of sorcery, which is getting familiar now, and the tiles under his boot shatter. Roderic screams, but a sudden surge of adrenaline pushes him towards you. With a burst of empowerment, you leap back out of his reach.

“Undine! Handle him in close-combat. I need a breather,” you call to her.

Without any hesitation, she leaps down and you see ice forming around her. Roderic attempts to land her with the tip of his axe, but she dances gracefully around him. Ice lashes out from her – no, not ice, a whip of ice-cold water, which rapidly freezing and melting from her power. It scores Roderic’s armor as she passes and slashes his helmet off with one stroke. He screams as it scars his face and attempts to barrel down on her.

>Target met

Undine’s way of battling is a graceful dance. She intermingles her sorcery and martial arts – ice weapons form in her hands or around her as she moves. Roderic, for all his strength, simply lacks the finesse to keep up with her.

Her whip catches his arm and he lashes at her, the reach of his greataxe ensuring he can strike a true blow. But she is not there, as she leaps over head with the glitter of a dozen icicles pouring down on him. When he closes on her, so close he merely needs to apply the tiniest amount of force to push her down, she blasts him with a sheet of ice or a jet of water. He slips and he slides on the ice that was once the beautifully tiled floor, and the broken tiles filled with water catch his feet and break his stance even as she glides over them.

You can certainly see why she’s a Champion from this, and why she is considered a prodigy. There is no mage, not even magisters specialised in manipulating matter, that could do this so easily. Yet, she says this is but a fraction of her strength. Watching this battle, you can see an empire forming from her skill alone. Sarah was right to pursue her, as was the queen – but she is yours now. And now it is time to prove it.

You leap forward whilst Roderic is not facing you, as Undine does another graceful twirl. He catches your sorcery and spins, his axe at the ready. But it matters not. Your shield hammers into his axe, and then into him as his guard breaks. With a hard thrust of your arm, you knock him down and ready your sword.

>continued

>>29157370
Only for Undine to replace his head with a sheet of icicles – and blood. You found it remarkable how quickly it froze once the Roderic’s sorcery ceased to continue warming his body with his death. You roll your shoulders and prepare to move on to catch up to Maloric and Lynn, but Undine’s arms slink around you, bidding you to wait.

“You need to heal, Talon. You’re badly wounded. It may take a little while, but it is for the best.”

Can we not heal on the move? even if it's only a patch job. If we let this hold us back, then we'll never hear the end of it...

>>29157462

>>29157462
Healing requires catalysts. For Undine, who doesn't use them, she has to summon them and then cast the healing from them. Doing it on the move is difficult for her imitation sorcery, which takes longer than the real thing normally. A skilled combat healer could probably do it on the move, though, but you don't have any.

You take her hands gently and lower them before turning to her. She looks at you sadly, thinking you’re refusing but then you pick her up, bridal style. She stares at you.

“What are you doing, Talon?”

“Carrying you. You can cast whilst I move. I’ll even go slowly, but I don’t want to wait whilst Mal and Lynn are fighting.”

She looks at you testily, but then smiles with a sigh. You start moving down, moving at a brisk walk, whilst she casts her healing spells. It’s an interesting feeling, to have her casting such strange sorceries in front of you, and then be feeling the effects of them, resetting bones and healing bruises. You can hear the clash of weapons nearby – you are near the bottom.

“I’m done. It’s not perfect – I’m not using to casting like that on the move. But it should keep you going so long as you don’t take another battle-axe to the chest.

“Yes, dear,” you respond as you lower her. You get another look from her, but it slips out of your sight as you move into the entrance hall.

Inside the hall, you see Lynn holding off a large number of toughs on all sides by the castle entrance, whilst Maloric is at the other side of the hall in a duel with a pair of mages. The count, with a pair of mage-knights next to him, is standing in the middle – both of his escape routes are currently blocked.

Lynn appears to be wounded and has lost her helmet at some point. She’s definitely favouring her left-side.

Maloric on the other hand, appears to have things well in hand, but you suspect he’s tiring. You’ve fought alongside him before, and you know that these are magister-level mages he’s fighting, and he can only hold off two with his trickery for so long.

“I’ll help whoever you don’t. The count isn’t going anywhere,” Undine tells you.

Yes, it was supposed to be a roll. It's unnecessary as Lynn won the vote. I'm doing well today.

>>29157815
THE AMOUNT OF SAMEFAGGING IN THIS THREAD IS TO GODDAMN HIGH!

>>29158183
There are at least 6 people here.still pretty high.

>>29158183
I agree. I'll consider using the SQ voting system for major votes.

>2

“Undine, help Maloric,” you say as you dart over to help Lynn.

There’s a large pack of toughs facing her but with their backs to you, so you figure to take a leaf from her book. You raise your shield, project a barrier into it, and charge the pack of men in front of you. It’s not quite her attack but is close.

yeah Aspirational, almost every vote for 2 was phrased the exact same way. Maybe next time call a vote with just a link to your post and the number, to ensure no duplicates?

Time for some combat fun

See i was right, there is at least 6 people here playing.

>>29158341
I'm here, too. I just don't like rolling.

>>29158341
7, actually, my internet makes it hard to keep up with the post speed

>>29158365
>>29158361
8 then.

>>29158361
Same thing here, for some reason I never feel like rolling

>>29158341
Phone poster here as well. Samefagging is too much work for me.

>>29158409
yeah capchas are a bit of a bitch for phones.

>>29158409
>>29158401
>>29158365
>>29158361
And look at that, maybe there wasn't same-fagging after all.
Or maybe it's a same fag trying to convince us there are no same fags

>>29158253
If a vote turns out to be very contentious, with a huge surge in votes, I'll probably call a second vote with the strict SQ rules. I won't do it all the time as it can hamper write-in choices.


>Target met

Right as you are about to impact into the ball of men, you roar at the top of your lungs. Suddenly, the men shift their stances, trying to turn – only to get bowled over your mobile barrier on your shield. You hear the cutting of steel through flesh and bone, and a fair amount of blood splatters your barrier and shield as Lynn slaughters those that came too close to her. Judging from the wild look in her eyes and the strength she’s showing, it’s safe to say she’s empowering herself to the hilt. You dispel your barrier and bring your sword up, nudging your head towards the men on the other side of her and shoots a feral grin at you.

The two of you hammer into the thugs, who begin to turn and run. Caitlyn won’t have any of it though, and mercilessly begins to cut them down – her sword cleaving through them like they are made of paper. In fact, the shredding is a bit too strong – you wonder briefly if she’s using a spell to make her sword shred her foes more. Still, this ferocity is a bit much…

We'll need to talk to her about it later though.

>>29158459
>3. Stop Lynn. There is no point in such slaughter.
We can't let her lose herself, and we are a benevolent emperor, are we not? But I'm mostly concerned about her losing control.

>>29158520
Yeah, she needs to tell us how she did that with her sword.

>>29158459
>3
Seriously, save your energy and your mana. We have other targets to attack.

>>29158459
>3, with a bit of 1. Stop Lynn. There is no point in such slaughter, then turn your attention to the count.

>>29158459
>>1. Let Lynn go and turn your attention to the count and his mages
Like i said before, if we take him out then they lose any will to fight on.

Calling votes here for speed and simplicity.

>>29158558
I assume dragon magic. We probably can't learn it.

Also I am assuming we have gods blood. Calling it now.

>>29158566
Agreed.

>>29158558
>>29158520
To do list of learning:
Martial arts from Udine
Combat Healing
Weapon empowerment
Increase Bow skills
Anything else?

>>29158459
>1. Let Lynn go and turn your attention to the count and his mages
Let her get out some of that dragonfire she's got pent up. They are bandits after all.

>>29158644
why bow skills? remove it pls

>>29158644
>bow skills
They come with Weaponry II. You are as good with your bow as you are with your sword.

>>29158639
It was somewhat obvious we have god blood, but i wonder how diluted it is.
Also i doubt weapon empowerment is exclusive to dragons we might just have to ask our best bud about it.

>>29158673
your from ranger quest aren't you?
>>29158676
Oh ok, thats good to know.
