hi

>See if Stein can read the Encrypted orders

You unfold the small roll of paper you had found in the pockets of a dead Knight. It was a thick, cream colored square that had been rolled into a tight tube and sealed with a blot of red wax, stamped with a round crest of swirling flames inset with a skull. You take a moment to consider the angular symbols, numbers and swirling glyphs.

Hmm....

Hmmmmmm.......

Interesting......

Fuck it. You can't read this gibberish. Just looking at it gives you a headache. But you think you know someone who may be able to decipher it.

You refold the paper, stuffing it into your jacket pocket and making your way to Stains wagon. The wiry old tainted is looking over some paperwork under the shade of a small awning.

"Rustan! Good to see you my boy! Sit! Sit I insist!" he waves toward a small chair next to him. Taking his cue you sit and enjoy the shade. "Now what can I do for you? Or are you just here to chat?" he smiles, eyes bright behind his reading glasses.

You reach into your jacket and produce the paper, unfolding it and setting it on the small table between you.

"Not here to chat unfortunately, Found that in one of the Knight pricks pockets. Its encrypted or coded or some such. I could never hope to crack it" you trace some of the more alien symbols with your fingers aa he looks over the paper.

Stein smiles broadly, the man loves a mental challenge. He inspects the paper, twisting and turning it, holding it up to the light. As his fingers brush the seal his eyes widen and he peels it off, inspecting it closely.

"This...this right here is an encoded missive directly from the desk of the High Purifier. I CAN'T read it... At least not yet. But whatever this is... Its BIG. Troop movements, orders, logistics, this could be a gold mine into their plans. Worth a fortune once the code is cracked!" Stein seems positively manic as he speaks, his thin hands shaking slightly.

You can't help but grin at the thought of Purity plans being disrupted.
"Do you think you can crack it?"

Steins look of contempt nearly boils your brain.
"My boy if I can't crack it nobody can. All I need is TIME. No code can hold out forever." Stein smiles happily and begins poring over the paper, making small notes in his notebook as he does.

You feel as though you've been dismissed.

Is that what Jukruk looks like?

Thanks for linking the previous thread to here.

>>1348196
>>Train a weapon Skill (which one)
Pole arm, our go to weapon.

>>1348196
>>1346999
>>Knights armor-thick, Black leather reinforced with double layers of mail and steel strips. Damaged. Can be repaired or used to upgrade your current set.
What's the difference between repairing the armor and upgrading our set with it? Does one yield better equipment than the other but is more expensive or time consuming?

>>1348196
>>>Train a weapon Skill (which one)
>Pole arm, our go to weapon.

>>1348205
The knights armor, if used to upgrade your armor can either increase its defense or mobility, destroying the knight armor itself.

If you repair the knight armor you gain a decent set of medium armor with good mobility

>>1348198
And yeah in my mind that's what Jukruk would look like just with more scars and a big ass axe

>>1348218
>The knights armor, if used to upgrade your armor can either increase its defense or mobility, destroying the knight armor itself.
Ah, I see. Is there an armor handling skill that we can improve like with weapon skills, or is everyone considered to be on par with each other in using it?

>>1348225
I can add an armor skill if its desired. Rustan would start out with a 2 to Heavy armor.

>>1348196
>>Visit the Armorer
Personally I'd like to visit the armor first to upgrade our armor to then train with, but I'm fine with doing it in reverse order too.

>>1348243
>I can add an armor skill if its desired. Rustan would start out with a 2 to Heavy armor.
Neat. It would help set us apart with the rest of the mooks if we had it, as well as distinguish our familiarity with our equipment.
What about a shield or dodge skill? Are those 3 skills considered upgraded along with our desired weapon when we go to train our weapon skills, with the option to focus on either of those skills to level them up faster? I'm thinking of the way the Age of Decadence categorizes those skills, but it might be too much to track for now.

>Train a weapon Skill. Polearm.

Your muscles still brim with energy from the battle. All you want to do is fight right now. You search the camp for sparring guards or bored Nomad men. At last you find a group of small wagons formed into a makeshift ring, a pair of guards fighting in the center with padded wooden swords. As you watch the taller of the two switches his stance and darts past the swing of his opponent, landing rapid fire blows against his thigh, chest and back. A resounding thump is heard as his (thankfully padded) weapon whacks the shorter man across the head. He collapses forward and weakly flails.

The small crowd of observers cheers, some groaning as money changes hands

"Aaaannnd for the fifth fight in a row! Dominic is the winner!" shouts a young boy into a conical tube of rawhide.

You step up to a rack of practice weapons, selecting a long spear with a wooden, cloth wrapped head and a leather wrapped butt. You step up to the young boy who seems to be organizing the fights.

He smiles broadly at you, as Dominic's latest opponent is dragged from the ring.

"Heya there Rustan! You wanna fight? In my ring?! Wow! Ok! Who ya wanna fight?"

You look over the crowd, sizing up contenders.

>One on one with a guard. (D20+1, easy mode)

>>1348259
>>Kick Dominic's shit in (D20+1, Hardmode)

>>1348259

We normally get pretty meh rolls, from 8-12, so I think Medium is best for now.

>>1348268
Ill try to do that from now on. A easy Dc is 8, medium is 12, hard is 16. Is that good or should I change it.

>>1348287
>Ill try to do that from now on. A easy Dc is 8, medium is 12, hard is 16. Is that good or should I change it.
Is that the DC modes for this fight or for all DCs after this one?

For this one. Ill tinker around with my dc's and try to set up fair ones.

>>1348298
>For this one. Ill tinker around with my dc's and try to set up fair ones.

Wew lads, we just met the minimum DC.

>15+1=16
>1St round draw

You leap into the ring, spinning the training spear in your hand as you and Dominic begin to circle each other. Hes wielding a long bladed training sword designed for slashing. From what you've seen of him he's deceptively fast and strong. You'll have to be-...

Whack!

You barely block the lighting fast blow with your spear shaft, if that had connected with your thigh you'd nearly be crippled. You lunge with your spear and he bows his body away from the heavy point, smacking it away with his sword.

Your ready for that and use the momentum to swing the spear around and catch his legs. With a hearty smack the blade connects and he pitches backward, rolling away from the second blow with the butt of your spear. He lunges to his feet and spins his blade as you circle each other again.

In a blur of movement he lunges once more, your spear spinning and jabbing to deflect the storm. One of your blocks is a hair too slow and his blade solidly raps you across the forearm, leaving a rapidly darkening bruise.

You swing you spear like a scythe, rapidly pushing him back and getting some breathing room to attack again.

>Play Defensive (D20+1)

>Float like an elephant, sting like a swarm of passed off hornets.

You circle Dominic with a small smile, Hes favoring his right leg, its quite obviously bruised down to the bone. You spin your spear like a baton, batting away a experimental lunge, you continue the spin, smacking his elbow with the butt of your spear.

His guard opened you unleash a rapid fire burst of blows, using both ends of the spear. You slam down the spearhead against his chest, driving the wind out of him before spinning under his desperate slash and cracking him across the knees. He stumbles forward only for you reversal to smash into his back, driving him onto his knees. You finish your spin and use your excess momentum to deliver a powerful kick to his chest, knocking him flat on his back, gasping for breathe.

He weakly fumbles for his blade and uses it as a candy as he attempts to stand, blood trickling from his lip, mixing with sweat in his scraggly beard.

"One more Rustan... One more.."

You nod. Seems the boy has spirit.

>18+1=19! Excellent success!!
>SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT

You drop your spear tip down and nod slightly to the young guard.
"Lets see what your made of kid"

He grits his teeth and tightens his grip on his sword. With a roar of rage he charges forward, slashing furiously.

He hits nothing but air.

You duck and weave, the blade whizzing harmlessly past your hand and limbs.
"Come on kid! That the best you got?!"
You taunt with a smile.

Dominic roars in fury, gripping his sword in both hands, seeking to cleave your head from your shoulders. You plant your spear and release your grip on it for a moment, letting a vicious chop slide by harmlessly. You grip your spear and tangle his legs with the shaft, using it as a lever as grab the back of his shirt with your free hand, heaving with both arms.

Dominic's battlecry turns into a startled yelp as he flies up and forward, landing bodily in a group of spectators where he lies moaning weakly, covered in mud.

The stunned crowd are silent for a moment before bursting into amazed cheers, clapping and jumping wildly as you raise your arms in triumph.

The young announcer sits with a slack jaw for a moment before grabbing his rawhide megaphone and yelling wildly
"Rustan Wins! Rustan wins! Rustan is the ones champ!!"

Its good to be you

>>1348542
>>Train another weapon skill (which one)
If we opt to train both spear and shield, would the training time be split between them or would the DC increase to compensate for increasing both at once?

>>1348563
It would increase the training time. 2 sessions to improve both skills by 1 point.

>>1348567
>It would increase the training time. 2 sessions to improve both skills by 1 point.
Oh, I see. If we train our polearms and shield in this matter, would we work better when we use both of them than each individually, or is this more of to encourage single-weapon training at a time?

>>1348576
You would improve your overall skill with each (more damaging spear attacks and better blocks/bashes) and you will work better in using them together. Hope I answered that satisfactorily

>>1348593
>You would improve your overall skill with each (more damaging spear attacks and better blocks/bashes) and you will work better in using them together. Hope I answered that satisfactorily
Yeah. So you gain the advantages of training both together as what you would get if you raised each individually, but in 2 sessions to get both points instead of 1 point for each session. As well as an additional synergy bonus from training them both together and increasing the delay in receiving the training skill point rewards.
I’m not sure how the synergy bonus is depicted mechanically but it probably looks better when we roll than the independent leveling.

>Sorry for the delay, life got hectic for a bit.
>See the wounded.

You wipe the sweat from your brow with a small rag provided by the young boy announcing the fights, flipping it over your shoulder as you walk away.

You can see several of Dominic's friends dragging him away towards the Healers wagon. He seems to be pretty dazed and weakly waving his arms.

You should visit the wounded from your battle, see how theyre doing and check on Bella while youre at it. Last time you see her she had been conscripted by the Healer to help him tend to the wounded.

The Healers wagon (technically a small train of wagons) is filled to the brim with wounded men and women, fine screen over the open sides preventing insects from coming in but allowing fresh air and light to relieve the stench of blood.

Bella is currently spooning a thick, herbal mixture into a mans mouth, the thick bandages and stump where his left hand would be mark him as one of the more heavily wounded.

"Now you just swallow this right here hun and well have you right as rain in no time!" she says with a bright smile as the man lays back with a sigh, rapidly falling asleep

Several of the more lightly wounded reach out to you and mutter words of thanks. You grasp their outstretched hands and grip them gently.

"You guys comfortable enough? They taking care of you here? Let me know if you need some of the GOOD stuff alright? "

Your smile and humor seem to lift their spirits, bringing life back into their eyes.
"Thanks Rustan"

"You did good boss"

"Tell Mae to bring us some drinks would ya?"

The Healer totters over, leaning heavily on his cane, prompting the smart patients to feign sleep.

"Hello Rustan, are you wounded? What's this?" he grabs your bruised arm, poking and prodding the purple flesh "just a bruise. Big baby. Need me to saw it off? Give you a discount?"

You chuckle at the eccentric Healers jab.
"Nah old man, just here to check on our wounded. They doing ok?"

He pulls you along by your wrist as he inspects the rows of occupied cots. He pokes bandages, sometimes sniffing them and other times applying various oils and pastes to injuries.
"Oh yes, theyre going to be fine. A few broken limbs, a few pierced bellies, a bitten of nose. Nothing too major for me. That girl of yours is a big help. Raises there spirits... And their... Hehehe" he trails off into his demented cackle while you grin and shake your head.

The Far Reach convoy is known for not wasting time and getting places fast. Your hurried pace on account of the Purist assault sees the miles melt away beneath your feet. The endless plains and distant peaks soon gives way to sand and scorching heat, your convoy shifting from one watering hole to another, in places exchanging wheels for slick bottomed skis mounted to the wagons to glide across the sand.

You recline in your wagons seat, lazily steering your draft beast along behind Steins wagon. Jukruk rides nearby on Crack, exchanging jokes and throwing a bottle of Mae's Special back and forth. Mercer and Mazda race their Stalkers along the edges of the convoy train, whooping in delight.

On the fourth day of travel a small convoy is visible ahead and after a brief discussion with their caravan master, a stocky Tainted with scales covering his entire body visible under his rags, theyre admitted to the fold.

>Convoy pop increased by 16.

First, ask bossman for permission to interrogate.
We play good cop as the leader, Bella as the sweet cop who turns bad cop depending on the prisoner, Hazda is worse cop who steps in the prisoner really screws up. Jukruk and Mercer stand guard to prevent prisoner escapes, anyone from interrupting our interrogation, and to look generally menacing.

>>1349688
>i was just talking about the rolls and how the highest works
Mm, right. That's fair. I was actually a bit confused on how the 20 cancelled out the 1 earlier, but then going to the next highest makes sense. So thanks for clearing that part up.

>We have ways of making you talk...
>14.

You stand at the entrance to the makeshift Prison wagon, eying the captured purists, idly rubbing your thumb on the pommel of your dagger as you watch them squirm.

You turn and walk to Steins tent, waving Jukruk over as you walk. He runs up to you, panting slightly.
"Yes Rustan? Need Jukruk? Going to fight?" he asks happily

You can't help but grin at his enthusiasm.
"Nah buddy I need you to go get the gang together, Ive got some brains to pick"

Jukruk easily hides his confusion, loping off to do your bidding as you arrive at Steins wagon. You knock loudly and wait for him to open the door.

Stein pokes his head out, blinking owlishly at the bright light and finally focusing on your face.
"Oh hello Rustan! Doing well today I hope?" he yawns, clearly hes been staying up late with the Purist encyryption.

"Doing fine Stein, doing fine. Just wanted you to ok something for me. Remember those Purists we caught? Yeah I was wanting to talk to them..." you trail off, leaving the implications obvious.

Stein waves you away, already closing the door.
"Yes yes, use chemicals, use words, use knives and hot pokers. Just find out what they know and get rid of them before we get to Red Sands. They'll execute us all if they find them."

The heavy door swings shut and you double your pace back to the wagon where your squad is already gathered.

Bella is gleefully inspecting a large belt of tools and syringes that seem a bit TOO highly polished, Mercer looks slightly bored, Jukruk scratches his head in confusion while Hazda idly inspects a butterfly on her finger. A pretty impressive bunch if you do say so yourself.

You peer into the wagon where blindfolded prisoners are shackled to the walls. Decisions decisions.

>Militia man it sucks to be you.

You have a table, a rack of knives, pliers, hooks and pokers brought in along with a pot of coals. Bella looks positively giddy with excitement as she and Mercer secure thick leather restraints to the table. The prisoners shake their heads and yell into their gags in fear at the clink of metal. All except the knight. He sits there calmly, legs crossed and head down.

Tough nut.

You direct Mercer and Jukruk to stand by the doorway as a pair of especially scary guards with Hazda lounging in a corner while you grab a militia man by his throat as Bella undoes his restraints. You pin him on his back on the table as he feebly struggles, Bella secures his limbs tightly and stands back as you pull the gag out of his mouth.
"-Oh god please please dont! Please I dont know anything im nobody please! Pleeaaaassse!" he sobs in terror.

Well brave men dont usually surrender.

>9! Slim Failure!

You nod to Bella and she steps forward, cupping the mans cheek and directing his vision toward her. She smiles sweetly, her angelic face filling the terrified mans vision.
"Now sweetie, im gonna ask you a couple questions and if you answer right nobodies gonna hurt you one bit? Okay? Just tell us where you came from? Can you do that honey?"

The militia member chokes back a sob and seems to collect himself for a moment
"O-o-okay... I-I guess I c-can..."
He swallows and turns his head slightly, catching sight of Jukruk in his peripheral vision.
"OH GOD ITS A FUCKING MONSTER PLEASE GOD DONT LET IT EAT MY SOUL"
You look at Jukruk, smiling broadly at his confusion
"Jukruk not eat souls. At least not think so"
You stifle a laugh as the man resumes sobbing in terror, the scent of Urine heavy in the air. Bella steps back, shaking her head in disgust and you step forward, gripping him by the throat.

His eyes bug out in terror and you punch him in the mouth, hard enough to crack a tooth.
"TALK! Tell me what you know!"
Another punch
"WHERE ARE YOU FROM?? Talk or i swear ill fry your balls in pigfat!"
Punch

The militia man is reduced to a sobbing shaking mess missing several of his front teeth. He seems incapable of speech and on the verge of passing out.

Hazda steps forward, a slim hand on your chest clearing away a spot for her to stand.

She leans down, her lips inches from his ear and begins whispering
"Just tell us what we want to know my dear. Because your tongue will save your flesh... And your soul... You see, Jukruk may not eat your soul but I will cut it out myself and eat it whole"

The militia man is white and shaking when she withdraws but seems much more inclined to talk.

>1!!! CRITICAL FAILURE
>Torture gone wrong?

You select a pair of thick shears from the rack of tools. Giving them a few experimental sniks in the mans view before walking around to his left hand, placing the heavy blades on hi index finger.

"Now. Lets try this one more time. You have ONE word. Make it count" you say, pressing the blades enough to make a bead of blood well up as his eyes, impossibly, widen further.

"PLEA-AAAAHHHHH OH GOD PLEASE STOP!!!"

Wrong answer pal.

You toss the severed digit to Jukruk who happily crunches it up and swallows, licking his lips.

You turn back to the militia man and stop as you see him convulsing, his skin ashen grey

Fuck. Died of fright it seems.

You pinch the bridge of your nose and sigh.
"Juk. Mercer. Get this shit off my table."

The pair hurry to obey,slinging the mans corpse into the corner and securing the next militia member to the table.

You hope hes actually got balls.

>Lets just talk.

You pull up a chair, sitting by the mans head as he swivels his eyes to keep you in view. You smile broadly, tapping your fingers on the table.
"How ya doing buddy? Comfy? Straps not too tight are they?"

The man swallows nervously. His lips trembling
"I-im okay I guess. Table is a little w-wet"

You chuckle darkly. He seems talkative.
"Yeah your buddy pissed himself. He didn't want to be useful so... He died. Are you useful? I like useful people"

He nods frantically, his eyes wide.
"I can be very useful! Very very useful! Ill tell you anything you want to know!"

Your smile nearly splits your head in half. Good boy. Already broken.
"Well, ya see, your knight buddy back there is the big fish. I need to know what kind of bait to dangle to get him to bite so I can reel him in. Gotcha?"

The militia man widens his eyes, looking almost relieved. He turns his head slightly and looks closely at the restrained knight before turning to you and nodding.
"His name is Sir Ezra. He recruited my company from Whitewood guard as part of the cities Tithes... He's part of the Church of The Purest Blood. Theyre Zealots, they value their skill in battle and the purity of their bloodlines above all else. The believe that even a drop of unclean..." he trails off looking at Jukruk and Mercer "....blood in their Lineage will damn their souls for eternity... Its the only thing they really fear... Hes part of Brother Ordo's personal bodyguard. They just showed up a couple of weeks ago and we had no choice but to go with them... That's all I know honestly!"

You scratch your chin. He IS helpful.

You sit back, digesting this new news. Bodyguards to a Purifier? An ORDAINED Purifier? Important man, very interesting.

"So my friend, would you know if say.... Forcing him to drink the blood of a.. 'Demon' would get him to crack his rather unhelpful silence? Just a thought." you steeple your fingers and back in your chair

"Um... I wouldn't know. Im not really well versed on what those Zealots really believe. Odds are he wouldn't take it very well though... Those guys take their "Purity' even more seriously than the rest of the church"

Hmm... Not very helpful but its a start. You MAY have a way into the knights defenses.

you slap your hand down on the table, causing Mr.helpful to yelp and flinch. You grit your teeth, making your best "Fucking insane" face.
"Now buddy, are you SURE, 100%, undeniably sure, that you dont know anything else? Id hate for you to stop being.... Useful" you lean forward, eying the racks of sharp tools.

He sucks in his breath, his eyes going wide as he scours his brain for something, anything to save himself.
"Uh..uh... Uh... Whitewood has begun moving large groups of troops... Bastion has ordered conscription... Shit I dont know what you want to know!!"

Ugh... Hes picked dry.

The Knight already had one militiaman speak to us, it'll help shake his belief if we can show him how we already have one person willing to speak against him.

That's fine, at least we know now.
>>1350469
>rember they have to all be killed befor we reach where we are going
Yes, I still remember. There's nothing that says we can't kill him once they testify, we never promised them that we would spare them. Testifying helps to solidify our case against the knight since he knows he can't hide under doubt of our intel.

>>1350442
>>Back with the others, time to talk to the Knight

>>1350479
i mean we can offer him a fight in the ring till he dies, or just kill him
or we could put demon blood into him and keep him looked up til he changes

>>1350483
>i mean we can offer him a fight in the ring till he dies, or just kill him
Well, yeah. Either of those are ways to get him killed once we're done with all of them. The bloodsport in the ring is a good idea, didn't think of that.
>>1350483
>or we could put demon blood into him and keep him looked up til he changes
Lol, what? Do you mean changes his mind or do you think he'd actually start mutating or something?

>>1350496
i dont think it ever said that blood couldnt make a change happen
but at the same time its useing his veiws argest him
having mutt blood in him will make him unpure

>>1350516
This, he would believe his soul is going to hell.

>back with the others!

You smile and pat Mr.helpfuls cheek, undoing some of his straps as he shakes slightly.
"Mercer? Escort our friend to that chair right there. Get his hands but just keep an eye off him. No Hazda, you can't have his eyes." you glare at Hazda while she innocently inspects a small gouging spoon.

Jukruk grips the Knights arms and pins him to the table as you and Bella strap him down TIGHTLY. Hes a strong man. But eventually you get him secure and yank off his blindfold and gag, earning yourself a torrent of abuse.
"Foul Dogs and consorts of demons your lives are forfeit! You will burn in the purifying flame! Your souls will forever be damn to-MMMPH"
You hold a rag over his mouth. Damn he's loud.

Say we found an old relic, that has a sample of the gene bomb material in it.

Well, yeah, but we'll threaten him first with it before going straight to it. Fear is a more powerful weapon than the usage of it by itself.

>>1350516
>i dont think it ever said that blood couldnt make a change happen
If it was then there would be a lot less regular humans from all the battles fought.

>>1350547
Figures, that'd explain why there's so many regular humans around.

>>1350556
>Say we found an old relic, that has a sample of the gene bomb material in it.
We could use that to enhance our bluff of injecting him with something that'd physically mutate him, that'd be REAL good to putting the screws to him. On top of the whole purity of blood thing.

You should also roll too for your choice.

You wait until the Knights yells and threats into the rag finally peter out and pull it away.
"Now. Are you ready to-"

"P-TOO!!"

you use the rag in your hand to wipe away the saliva on your cheek and sigh.

"Ok, that was your freebie. I understand. Youre upset. But, and this is a big but, if you answer my questions honestly and quickly I won't maim you or your surviving men. Deal?"

The Knights face could give marble a run for its money as he considers your offer.
"Speak your questions .. Traitor. My answers will buy you no respite from the coming storms."

Well that's predictably dickish.

You clear your throat and lean back, twirling a small knife in your fingers.
"The orders, the one directly from the desk of your High Purifier? What's it say?"

That earns you a withering glare. The gears in his head are visibly turning.
"Guiding words of the High Purifier, to prepare the faithful for the coming storm. Of no use to a apostate like you."
Is it just you or did his eyebrows twitch a little at the mention of the orders? Interesting.

You stare at the knight, admiring his steadfast determination. The man doesnt fear death or pain so this can be tricky. You'll have to use something he fears....

Fucking YES.

"Jukruk! Your arm please. Bella? That syringe if you please. Thanks."

Jukruk offers his arm and you take the syringe offered by Bella, finding. Vein and filling the glass tube with dark blood. The knight is watching you carefully, wetting his lips as he visibly sweats.

"Now, Sir Ezra, of the Church of the Purest blood. Bodyguard to Brother Ordo. You are going to tell me everything I want to know." you say with a large smile, leaning close and tapping the needle with a fingernail.

"I have told you all I will apostate! Kill me! My blood is Pure and my soul secure. Paradise awaits me" he grimly sets his lips and stares at the ceiling.

You sigh dramatically.
"How secure can it be once I empty this needle into your veins? Then you'll be just as much of a monster to your church as my friends here"

His eyes widen and he looks at you with shaking lips.
"W-what?"

Your grin could terrify a shark

"Gotcha."

>No rolls required because he is SCARED.

"Now im going to ask ONE more time. And if I dont like your answer im jamming this needle in your eye and sending you straight to your hell. Got me?" you growl, jamming the needle directly against his throat.

He turns as white as a sheet, shaking visibly.
"Ill tell! Ill tell! Please dont... Please!"

"The orders you Fuck! What. Do. They. SAY?!?" you roar, flecking his face with saliva.

"I DONT KNOW! I swear I dont! Only our knight-commanders and Brother Ordo knew the Key! They all either died or retreated with him I swear!"
Hes nearly crying now, his skin dripping with sweat and trying to pull away as far from the point as he can

"What DO you know about it? You must know SOMETHING!" you poke the needle a millimeter into his flesh

"A CRUSADE!!!" he screams in terror and shame "We were to clear the way, raid villages, burn convoys, clear a path through the far reaches to the western cities! But that's just what we were told! Only Brother Oros himself knows the whole Key! I swear!"
He seems to be telling the truth.

Well, he's telling the truth if he gave us the info of who does know it, but now we know where to get the guy who rode off. Tell him we're willing to be nice to him because he seems helpful, but if he's lying to us about ANYTHING, then straight into the injection it goes.

>>1350875

If he's the same guy, that is. We're giving him the chance now to clear up any lies he told us before we get mad and inject him.

>Going with Withdraw needle

Fuck. A crusade? In the far reaches? They'd steamroll the entire region.

You pull back the needle slightly and Sir Ezra sags in relief, breathing hard with tears leaking from the corners of his eyes.

"One more Question. Where has Brother Oros gone? Be honest with me or I swear after I inject you ill let my friends have their way with you." you hold him by his chin and look into his eyes.

He swallows, licking his lips, scouring his brain.
"He... He has most likely returned to Whitewood or the Chapel Hill to gather more forces to resume his mission. Many of our... Frontline troops were killed by your ambush."

You grin, giving a small laugh
"Your battle-fodder you mean. Cheap lives and cheaper deaths. Whitewood or Chapel Hill eh? Long way from here."

Although, we should offer him that once we finish our interrogation.

>>1351018
What about the helpful militia? Think he would?

>What about the helpful militia? Think he would?
They were conscripted >>1350442 into service, so they'd be much more willing to.

>>1351032
Then offer it to him first, let the Knight see his reaction, it might persuade him if we are nice to mr. Helpful. Even if we need to roll

>>1351037
That's a good idea. That's why I was suggesting bringing Mr. Helpful earlier to testify against the Knight, to shake his faith in his own order. However, we didn't need to with "Demon" Syringe.
We'll ask the Knight once we finish attempting to convert in order from the least to most faithful of the Purists to join us. Probably from Villagers > Militia > Knight.

Hah-hah! Ah man, that got me good.
What type of conversion therapy are we talking about here, anon?

>>1351089
Oh, no. We were already named in the 1st thread of the quest.
We're >>1339383 The Far Reach Convoy, >>1339434 Convoy Guard. Or do you mean what our team or squad name is?

>>1351104
that isnt the name we are
we are not part of it just travileing with them as i understoed it
but yes the squad name

>>1351104
>>1351110
We were hired by them, if that's what you mean. The Convoy Guards are a part of it so long as they keep getting paid and want to keep working there.
We didn't agree on a squad name yet, and haven't brought it up either with the squaddies.

>>1350990
>>1350996
>>1351007

that we dont evem have to kill them, just a wound from us will make them unclean

>>1351198
>Not to toot my own horn, but if we do convince the knight, and we keep how we did secret, it could scare the purists that we are using some kind of magic or devic
>some kind of magic or devic
Imagine the amount of paranoid inquisitioning they'll do on their own forces to figure out what this "foul sorcery" is and discover who else amongst their ranks has been tainted by us.

>>1351219
Utterly perfect plan

>>1351218
>or make it known that we use mutt blood on our wepons

If we do this, we should reveal it before a climatic battle to really break their morale. We wouldn't want to play our trump card too early and have them make counter-measures, would we?

>>1351244
true but still its early days

>>1351244
>>1351246
They are all great ideas, but to use effectively, must be used in the right place, like a climax battle

QM, how much of an idiot ball are the Purists holding? How much of an idiot ball is everyone holding compared to us?

>>1353001
>Idiot ball?

>>1353028
Basically whenever someone's stupidity fuels an extended action that can normally be resolved fairly easily by say talking it out or taking a simple option. It can even seem like they're intentionally trying to take one of the hardest paths possible.

>Sorry for a lack of posts today guys! Ive been ridiculously busy with yard work and some family issues. Posting can recommence tomorrow if that's cool with everybody? Around noonish? Ill be around to discuss things for a bit but my brain is completely fried and I don't think Id be up to snuff on my posts.

>>1354077
That's cool with me.

>>1354077
Post when you feel your best tainted

So anybody have any questions about Squadmates/Factions/Etc?

>>1354150
The merc squads we heard about, got any plans for them?

>>1354164
The WasteWalkers will definitely make an appearance (Possibly in a companion quest) and Mercenary troops can be hired.

>>1354203
Oh ok, awesome

>>1354203
Is anyone else going against the pure Nazi's? Or have they had pretty much free Reign until now?

>>1354229
The Tainted Cities (Burrows,Red Sands, Bastion, Lonely Peak,etc) and the Tribal Warlords of the Far Reach are constantly at war with the Purity. There are multiple different Churches and sects of the Church, some are ok guys besides being huge racists and some are the genocidal, bloodline checking, fingernail measuring assholes (Church of The Purest Blood, Order of the Lion, Inquisitors, etc)

>>1354256
Hmm alright, and what about outside allies, does the purity have any? Or it "we take what we please now you join us"

>>1354338
Pretty much. Purity expands, funds its armies and gathers recruits by saying "Only a Heretic would deny the Church help...you're not a heretic are you?"

Good night yall.

>Have we decided on our last question for Sir Ezra?

>>1355952
I think its "will you join us" but im not sure lmao

>>1355952
Join us or be cursed to hell for all eternity.

>>1355952

How would you like to die?

>Do ye fear Death Sir Ezra

You lean close, squeezing a small drop of blood from the syringe, Sir Ezra's eyes, impossibly, widening further.

"Please! Please ive told you all I know! Don't! I beg you!" he nearly sobs.

You jab the needle at him with a small smile as he recoils further, straining against his straps.
"Do you fear death Sir Ezra? Are you secure in your faith and in your... Paradise?" you narrow your eyes as he focuses on you. "I can offer you a fresh life. A new beginning free from hate"

"I-I only fear damnation Sir. My bloodline is pure and my deeds just. I have already betrayed the church with my tongue. I will not do so in deed. If you have no more questions I ask that you kill me now" he steels his jaw and turns his head toward the ceiling, grimly awaiting your judgement.

>Sir Ezra is impossible to Recruit.

>Kill him
>Ask Mr.Helpful if he wishes to join
>Ask the other Prisoners if they will join
>Kill them all with the Exception of Mr Helpful

>>1356039
>>Ask Mr.Helpful if he wishes to join
Then the others.

>>1356039
>ask mr. Helpful if he wants to join
If it succeeds
>ask ezra again
If it fails
>Kill him

>>1356039
>Ezra could come in handy, lets keep him
>Ask Mr.Helpful if he wishes to join
>Ask the other Prisoners if they will join

>Mr.helpful? You in?

You nod respectfully. This man has stones but what is to be expected of a lifelong zealot?

You turn, facing the ever helpful militia man who is trying his best to become invisible.

"You! Yes you. You have a name?"
You bark at him, smiling as he flinches.

"Yes-yes sir! My n-name is Jona.."
He stammers, obviously terrified to be the object of your attention.

"Well then Jona, do you have family in Whitewood? Any close ties?"

He shakes his head, obviously confused by the line of questioning.
"No sir... My parents died years ago and ive never married. My older brother was conscripted years ago and never returned.."
He turns his eyes down and seems to drift down through his thoughts.

You snap your fingers in his face and recapture his attention.
"Focus! Focus Jona. So you have no real loyalty to Purity do you? Only marched because you'd be burned at the stake otherwise?"

He nods

"Good. Good. So Jona, considering your helpfulness and lack of ties unlike Sir Stubborn over there. How would you like a job? Caravan guard? Low pay, long hours and shitty food but you don't have to strangle babies so its a fair trade off"

>Roll a D20 for Recruitment of Jona the militiaman

Rolled 5 (1d20)

>>1356184

Rolled 13 (1d20)

>>1356184

Rolled 8 (1d20)

>>1356184

>13! Success!

Jona swallows loudly, cutting his eyes away from the glare of Sir Ezra. He grits his teeth and sighs loudly before sagging his head.
"Ok. Ill join you. Its... The right thing to do. Purity made us do some... Terrible.. Terrible things. I want to make it right. Im your man." he says quietly, meeting your eye without trembling.

Good man.

"Ill make sure you have the opportunity to amend for your past crimes Jona. Believe that." you pat him on the shoulder and signal Mercer to cut him loose.

The snik of the rope restraints being cut through makes Jona flinch but he stands on shaky legs as Mercer leads him out of the wagon.

>Jona the Militiaman recruited

>Attempt to Recruit the 7 Villagers(D20)

>Execute them all.

Rolled 9 (1d20)

>>1356256


>Attempt to Recruit the 7 Villagers(D20)
