”A Knight is Sworn to Valour. His Heart Knows Only Virtue. His Blade Defends the Helpless. His Might Upholds the Weak. His Word Speaks Only Truth. His Wrath Undoes the Wicked.”Every child in Cantôn knows of the Knight’s Code. From peasant-born waifs playing with sticks in the mud to keen-eyed noble sons practicing with cold steel in the training yard, all have at the very least dreamed of one day becoming a knight themselves. To ride out on errantry into the Five Duchies Kingdom and beyond for God and Glory, bringing the Law of Adam to the wicked and the Blade of Cain to the beast. The Knights of Cantôn are sworn to follow the Code, to obey the King, to refuse no call for aid honestly asked for, to seek out and destroy the Foe wherever it may lurk and rid the world of evil. Were it so easy…------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Twitter: https://twitter.com/BlackCompany666/qst/ Archive: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?tags=Sworn%20to%20ValourOur Knight & Companions Pastebin: https://pastebin.com/iBg32ZQw UpdatedFaith & Politics Pastebin: https://pastebin.com/Cu4FPGVM UpdatedFoes, Foreigners & Monsters Pastebin: https://pastebin.com/nXwzHGGa Black Company: Mea culpa, mea culpa…
>>3258739Many years from now. Not far from home.”Hm?” The stranger frowns at the off-tune key, adjusting his instrument. ”There, better. Now where was I? Oh yes, the great markets of Fair Aubrey!”
>>3258743Wenegan, 16th Day of Savrimun, 883 A.C.E, Central Aubres, Present Day>Spend 1 Wealth>Fashionable Attire (1W)>”Hah. Drinks on me!” Despite yourself, you’re starting to share Tracker Jean’s enthusiasm for the pitch-and-sale and all this other commerce hubbub you once thought beneath you. [Hearty]You have 7 Wealth Remaining. Further purchases prior to your departure will require a write-in that gains traction during your stay.------------------------------------------”Hah. Drinks on me!” You declare boisterously, hefting the heavy coinpurse with a grin. You’ll be damned, this trade thing can be quite fun if one doesn’t take oneself too seriously. ”Careful, Cantônian!” Miss Jean teases, delighted you’re getting into the spirit of things. ”See if I don’t order myself the finest and most expensive drink they have on offer.””Psh, go right ahead Miss Jean.” You smirk, watching a wine merchant’s daytalers struggle under too many vases. You don’t imagine Miss Jean will offer refunds if they drop them. ”I imagine most of it will be of your bosses’ stock anyway.””Careful who you call my boss, knight. Fatman just fronts the cash, it’s his missus that’s the brains behind everything.” Tracker Jean waves farewell as you make your way to another section of the merchant quarter with your earnings. ”Don’t spend it all at once, I want that drink!”[1/3]
>>3258744Remembering that you have a debt due at some point, you restrain yourself from spending everything at once. However, well aware that one simply cannot wear armour all the time in the Capital, you go out of your way to the Tailor Lane streets and see what the fashionable courtly folk are wearing these days.”Of course, sire, of course! Jeeves here has taken your measurements and we shall have the cloth cut out and fashioned by tomorrow evening.” Mister Verdicci is a Cantôn Capital-man by birth, though he manages to work in his Langlish-Pascae heritage into the conversation within a few sentences of you setting foot in your door. ”Quite a lot of cloth for a customer of your stature, I should think! If you don’t mind me saying, sire. Here, this one I think. It matches your complexion perfectly, and compliments your impressive figure to no end.””That? You don’t think it’s too… well, much?” You ask, running the fabric through your hands. It’s very colourful, and perhaps a bit tight-fighting on the mannequin. To be quite honest you’d been wondering what the diminutive servant had been doing behind you all this time. You’ve only come to this particular shop because Sir Gilbern mentioned it off-handedly on the road, and you don’t believe the Queen’s Herald to be someone to dress like a complete fool. ”Oh no, sir.” The bespectacled man says very seriously, as if he were warding you against the mortal danger of appearing unfashionable. ”Not at all sire, very much in this season.” ”I suppose…” You say with some apprehension, handing over the coin. ”I’ll take some of your more casual wear as well, for less formal occasions.””Of course, sir, of course.” Mister Verdicci gives an impressively low bow, snapping his fingers. ”Jeeves!”[2/3]
>>3258747[3/3]You get lost several times on your way back to Lion’s Mane Inn, overwhelmed by the winding streets and thrumming hub of humanity. The sheer number of people. Hundreds, no maybe thousands! And just in this main thoroughfare alone. You’d been impressed when the whole of Grenoble turned up to the execution of Sir Vancewell, but it appears that the whole of Grenoble and then some could fit inside the Aubrey Merchant Quarter alone. In less than an hour you see more human beings than you’ve ever met over the course of your life. Outstanding, here lies the beating heart of your great nation!A shout catches your ear, then a loud smash and some laughter with a hard-edge to it. Even in the throng of people, the culprits are obvious. Dressed in garishly colourful and contrasting display of attire that made Mister Verdicci’s wares look demure by comparison, they look like trouble. No one seems to pay heed to their behaviour, in fact the folk closest to the spectacle seem to be avidly avoiding making eye contact with the rambunctious rabble. They’re teasing another boy younger than them, and much more raggedly dressed. Some sort of urchin, then. They taunt, slap and shove him occasionally, waving a gold coin in his face with glee. A youth tosses the coin over his head to a fellow, then again. On the third toss the beggar boy catches the coin, knees one of the gang in the loins and sprints away. Or tries to at least, a youth trips him and quickly there are five well-dressed fops kicking savagely at one beggar on the ground. ”Here, let’s give the little thief a reminder he won’t forget.” One of the youths, the one kneed in the balls, steps forward hand on a dagger.----------------------------------------------------------> “Hmph.

>>3259029Hurr durr this urchin thief is Kid
>29 votersYou samefags do know that Forgotten will just recast the vote right?Honestly, I think Forgotten made a mistake by making a choice like this be the first vote in the thread. The first vote in a thread should never be an important or contentious one, as that will simply invite stupid levels of samefagging because all ID's will be new and mostly have only 1 post.
>>3259042So how many anons really participate in this thread? Can you tell?
>>3259042This *is* an unimportant and inconsequential vote, Anons are just making a scene because they're Anons.
>>3259045I'm just watching the fireworks.
>>3259045Not 29 voters, that's for sure.>>3259050Yeah, that's why suddenly all those totaly non-samefag anons decided to vote on this unimportant and inconsequential vote, eh?
Golden skele knigga for the second ID post so that Anons don't get their bottoms bamboozled.>>3258827My post if my ID does change.
>>3259055Totally*
>>3259042I´m alright with fucking anything to be honest. I have voted >>3258820 him with another IP, but wo´t really cry a lot if we leave him to his fate honestly. This is just a minor event.
>>3259055There's been plenty of occasions where Anons samefagged out of spite or just to prove a point, even if the matter itself was dumb.So let's not kid ourselves, saving the kid doesn't matter much. All of this boils down to a White Knights vs Edgelords debate.
>>3259062Maybe to you, but samefagging is still samefagging.
>>3259064Lets just wait and see how Forgotten feels about it, no point arguing over whether this is worth arguing about or not
>>3259064My bet is one of the "peasant" meming guys. Admittedly I'm biased.
>>3259042>Implying I'm not here to shitpost and be a KniggaI appreciate the fact that I am being accused of samefagging, makes me feel that I'm getting more out of my shitposting than I normally should.
>>3259069We can always just have a second vote, no repeat IDs. If he gives enough time, there should be no excuse for needing to phone post. I got my ID >>3259029 here on my phone because my laptop is far, but I also tagged it earlier. So it's not that hard.
>>3259075And now my new phone ID. Not hard to track.
>>3259062>There's been plenty of occasions where Anons samefagged out of spite or just to prove a pointWhat the fuck? What the fuck do you mean by this? Are you a samefag?
>>3259069Yeah, you're right. It's really up to Forgotten whether he thinks he can get this many voters or he's just getting bamboozled.>>3259076>>3259079Kek it just keeps increasing.
>>3259080No.Now go back to shivving gypsies, Edgelord Anon.
>>3259071Nobody accuses you. You fag
>>3259082I mean I just woke up cause I'm a west coast American.I guess the only way to prove that to you is to keep posting
>>3259089Yeah, Anons are getting too overzealous about samefagging, is it suspicious? sure. But its also literally the first vote of the thread, theres bound to be some renewed interest and of course 1 post Id's, maybe not to this extent, but still.
We've just about reached the breaking point. The quest is amok with paranoia and samefag hate. It believe it is time for the Salem samefag trials
>>3259087Perhaps you are right, but nothing says I am not beyond accusation.
all white kniggas are samefags
>>3259098Nah. Just have a voter registration at the beginning of the thread or something.Or just have rocks fall, kill the squabbling youths and their prey, and have Emile get pickpocketed for 2 wealth to watch Anons unify in burning the city down to get it back.
>>3258744If tracker Jean is as hot as this pic than we should roofie her in the tavern
I feel like starting more shit so here:>Gets all righteous about bringing someone who abused his higher station to murder low class farmers to justice, condemned the loss of life because they were still people, and brought the man in chains to face trial because it was the right thing to do.>Lets a kid get beaten and potentially stabbed by people who are abusing their higher station because said kid is some low class riff raff and drinking is more important.Some real big brained shit there my Haughty dudes. Hypocrisy is back on the menu boys!
>>3259198The best part is that it's the same excuse and justification that Vancewell used when he was confronted.https://archived.moe/qst/thread/3049678/#3063026>”They were peasants! Hog-bedding, mud-slinging peasants! What do they matter?”
>>3259198I mean its not like they necessarily voted for those vancewell options, after all, there were even some anons who voted for killing vancewell after disarming him, despite our oath clearly forbidding it. I dont feel Its really hypocrisy to pick an option that forgotten has presented as being a reasonable action Emile could take due to an aspect of his personality(his haughtiness). On the other hand, I think at this point picking the haughty option would be too strong a shift from Emile's actions in the vancewell trial. His haughtiness doesnt seem to be "what the fuck are these peasants doing in my way", more so "Due to my superior breeding and talent, I am superior, and thus have a responsiblity to protect those beneath me in exchange for their servitude".
>>3258750> “Draw that blade boy, and I shall see that you use it.” This behaviour shall not do. [Idealist]Children need to be slapped.
>>3259198>A bunch of rich city slickers fuck around with some bum>The bum knees one of them in the nuts and then tries to steal from them>Apparently if we don't risk our neck to go in and break up the charade we're VancewellNot to mention your option is being samefagged
>>3259418I don't know if opinion of a person that take pleasure from swinging knives at kids is valid...
>>3259418I'm pretty sure the implication is that the richer kids are going to mutilate the poor one("reminder he wont forget"), besides this is literally the type of behavior that we were disgusted at vancewell for, nobles(?) abusing the common folk for their own pleasure/amusement then crushing them when they fight back.
>>3259418>Tries to steal from them>When they were already fucking with him and teasing him by bringing their money out into the open where it can be even more easily stolen or lost.Here is your (you).>>3259428Don't bother, he's clearly fishing for (you)s.
>>3259418The knife just crosses the line for me.
I’ve got a crazy theory. Maybe there isn’t a lot of samefagging going on. I voted before I left the house this morning and now I’m shitposting on my phone. Have I voted again? No. Last thread there was paranoia about samefagging that wealth vote even though there was only one “1 post by this ID.” I get some suspicion for a route lock tier waifu vote, but this is a little much.
>>3259198you've convinced me>>3258750> “Draw that blade boy, and I shall see that you use it.” This behaviour shall not do. [Idealist]i think we should be more haughty in the sense that we believe commoners need us to keep from squabbling and killing each other
>Murdering random beggars on the street contradicts the code of chivalry, you can't do that! It's dishonorable!
>>3259457I agree with the sentiment, but as of this point there are some 40 odd votes for this choice, which is suspiciously excessive
OP you might want to post this new thread on twitter, for easy access
>>3259529He already didhttps://twitter.com/BlackCompany666/status/1095669305037864961
>>3259496Man where did all these faggots come from? We never had this shit during Black Company Quest.
Honestly this thread is starting to get so paranoid and sidetracked that I feel that Forgotten should either just close voting and call the result or recast the vote
>>3258820Voting for this>>3259535Oh right F5 doesn't refresh pinned tabs for some reason
>>3259540kid died for this
>>3259554Didn't he die to shitty decisions and shittier rolls?
>>3259556ThisI'm still livid those fuck didnt choose "Stay back kid", Kid ability was one of most powerful
>>3259541A re-vote with no single digit IPs would be the easiest I feel.Honestly I would feel a lot better about the Haughty reply if the anon voting for it wasn't being a meming faggot totally contradictory with the past actions of Emile. Namely the responsibility aspect of it.I think I'd be more likely to go for >>3258820, where we insist on being a stickler for the rule of law.Which, ironically, here might mean the thief gets killed whereas the Nobles might have let him off with some flesh wounds.Still though, the best violence is State Approved violence, because it has the checks and the balances on it.But mostly I can recognize a plot hook when it's waved in front of our fucking faces.I find it interesting there wasn't an option to intercede on behalf of the nobles either. Personally, the idea of this hick knight with money and honour than acumen barging in and insisting on helping them by taking the thief to stand trial, promising to dig to the heart of the matter and see their goods restored, would be fun regardless of who was in the right or wrong in the situation.
>>3259564> Getting your medic killedHow to fuck up 102, advanced mistakes to make in the field that can't be written off as anything but incompetence.
>>3259568children are destined to be killed in horrific ways, we should have known.

>>3260313>Nobles can justify marrying commoners for profitAbsolutely not what the fuck anon, I don't think you quite understand how important family, ancestry, lineage and inheritance are to noblesOnly the poorest,most destitute noble families would even consider that and that would be a massive shame on their honour
>>3260313>Nobles can justify marrying commoners for profit.Knigga, we ran into this drama back in thread 2 when we found out Gladsdale married a commoner. Gladsdale ended up getting disowned, and basically running a pity section of land for that. Granted, it's not like she was a rich burgher's daughter, but Emile's shock and general distaste was notable, even taking into account that he was Gladsdale's friend. Tracker Jean might be considered differently, considering that she's foreign-born, but I agree that Father would probably pop a blood vessel after his first son's trash-fire just got sorted out in time for his other son to marry some foreigner of uncertain reknown.
>>3260324IC, our character already threw shade at his close friend for marrying a peasant, only relenting after considering his friendship.Can't see him properly taking on a commoner as a wife easily.
>merchant who looks at our cultures sensibilities as jokeonly way we could marry her is if we disinherited ourselves>hotdog down a hall way slaver slutabsolutely not and I doubt she wants a relationship
>implying we aren't just pumping and dumping her
You guys know you can just have casual sex with someone without having a lifelong engagement or marriage right?
>>3260364sounds real unchivalrous M8
>>3260368Does Adam frown on casual sex? That's a legit question cause I have no idea.
>>3260370>His Heart Knows Only VirtueA) Flower of Chivalry: Re-Roll all Courtship RollsB) Holy Orders: +1 Combat Re-Roll, +1 Path of Adam OR Cain*You may not be unfaithful to your wife. You may not father bastards, even if unmarried.well considering it's an othe we can take
>>3260376Only if we take the vow. Even then it only says bastard. Kick the woman after sex and everything will be fine.
>>3260324It's a more frequent occurrence in Pascae, where the balance between Merchant and Noble is more even in terms of influence.>>3260370As another anon pointed out, the Oath certainly frowns on 'pumping and dumping'. The focus on the negativity of fornification is primarily against adultery and siring illegitimate children. This still happens, of course, but it's scandalous if discovered.Sex outside of marriage occurs as much here as it did in any point of human history, it's unlikely that there would be any consequences for the discreet actions of two consenting unmarried adults unless it leads to a baby. Abortion happens, as it always has, but carries the same stigma as it always has as well. There are other ways to churn the butter, so to speak, but I'll leave that to anons as to whether Sir Andrei would consider that cheating the spirit of the oath while technically obeying the letter.
>>3260399>There are other ways to churn the butterPushing us towards the Greek again eh?
>>3260354>>3260356Oh true. Good point on the IC distaste. I’m still tempted to point out that he did mellow out a lot about it and even apologize by the end of the trip. I’m not saying that means it would no longer be an issue. Should be interesting to see how it plays out.

Forgotten, why is house Glasdale netrual to us? Isn't he our childhood friend and didn't we help him recently?
>>3260703Because your friend was disowned.
>>3260703Probably because our friend isn't the head of the house. He's just a low-tier landed knight now thanks to him marrying a peasant surf's daughter.
>>3260715Serf* damn aotocorrect
>>3260621Ehh, that's hard to answer honestly. I'm worried to say which it is too much in case you guys actually get there and say "Wait that's not how not-Holland in 1307 worked!"
>>3260708How powerful and wealthy is house Glasdale compared to house Andrei?
>>3260722Your setting your say dude, Influences are secondary to GM fiat
>>3260735Not too dissimilar in practical wealth and holdings but House Andrei has a more distinguished pedigree, dating back to well before the fall of Ardenne.
>>3260744Let's say coastal France then, with growing influences from Langland which is a combo of England/Holland/Italy

Not voting because it's my first comment in thread as I just got home from work but if these kids are pulling a live weapon on some urchin I think that as a Knight we should be stopping that shit. Pretty sure one of our tenants is protecting the weak and all that shit. We can't seriously just watching to happening and do literally nothing, even waving a guard down and mentioning it would be better if it's "none of our business".

>“Draw that blade boy, and I shall see that you use it.” This behaviour shall not do. [Idealist]+1 Step on the Path of AdamYou are willing to let boys be boys, or at least not dirty yourself with the mundane affairs of the peasantry, but allowing 5 of them to mercilessly beat and mutilate another in plain view of all and sundry is an outrage you cannot ignore. Rather than apprehending the thief, if you can even call the quick-fingered urchin that, they seem set on beating him half to death and then some. If anything they appear gleeful that the unfortunate beggar gave them some excuse escalate their violence, the gold coin lies ignored on the stone pavement by the waif's cowering body. Remembering the Knight's vow to always lend your blade to the helpless, even the lowliest of that order, you decide to intervene. "Draw that blade boy, and I shall see that you use it." You step forward, gauntlet not quite gripping your own sword but resting all-too-casually over the hilt.The colourful assortment of bullies pause in their assault at your intrusion, their stare starting eye-level at your chestplate before dragging horizontally to your towering figure. Even the guttersnipe squints upwards, the sun casting a shadow over your face. The youth with the half-drawn dagger licks his lips nervously, your advantage in size and armament plainly obvious. He looks to his fellows for support, and to your surprise there is a tense moment of hesitation as they weigh up their advantage in numbers against this intruding martial stranger.These troublemakers couldn't possibly be stupid enough to attack an armoured knight in full view of the public eye. Could they?------------------------------------------------------------------> Persuasion Roll (martial)>Reasonable Request + Equal Standing 60DC These idiot teenagers consider themselves your peers.> Strong and Well-Armed +10DC> 70DC0 = Stupid STUPID boys.

>2 SuccessYou had expected this collection of miscreants to flee immediately from your presence, but the stubborn folly of youth causes them to bristle at this stranger’s interruption of their fun. They clearly don’t want to get into an altercation with someone like you, but they’re also struggling to end the stand-off without looking like they’re backing down in front of the passing onlookers as the situation has caught some attention.Your fingers twitch over the hilt of your blade, you really don’t want bloodletting on your first day in the Capital over some idiot teenagers. And on the day before your Vigil, to boot. Thankfully, you are interrupted by an armed patrol before any of them do something to escalate the impasse out of sheer bravado.”Miles Tomson, shouldn’t you be minding your father’s shop?” The speaker is no Kingsman guard but a member of the Holy Order of the Knights Comitas, flanked by two more of his brethren. ”And Jeanne Younger, shall I let your mother know what you were up to at next Sendag prayers?”The words seem as effective as a column of kingsmen in clearing the field, with a few mutterings of ”No needs, sir, was jus’ on our break s’all.” and an insolent glare or two at you and the beggar boy the gang disperses.[1/2]
>>3262660”They’ll consider attacking an armoured knight out of pride but back down at the mention of their mother at prayer?” You shake your head, wondering if everyone in the city is this crazy.”We were all foolish in our youth once, I think we can agree. Salve Reginae send that their minds mature as their bodies do.” The Holy Knight kneels down to inspect the urchin. A few welts and bruises, but nothing as serious as the filth and malnutrition they already suffer from. ”You were lucky, child. Things may have turned out much worse for you before I arrived had this good knight not intervened.””Tell us your name, Sir Knight.” The grizzled man smiles, still kneeling.”Andrei, sir. Emile Andrei.” You bow your head respectfully. ”Fanks, m’lord Andrei.” The beggar boy says to you both, too humbled to make eye contact. ”Fanks, m’lord Moray.”While Gilles de Moray introduces himself the other two knights only nod at your introduction. An act which you find to be a little rude until you remember that many members of the Knights Comitas take vows of silence, chastity and poverty. Certainly these knights do not seem beggarly, though their cloth be rough and their armour plain. You’re familiar with the Knights Comitas, having served as a footsoldier on the Ardenne borders during your required tour of duty as all Romaine children do. You had been fortunate to avoid the worst of the Deadmen incursions, but the Holy Knights and their spartan lifestyle were demanding on their own. You remembered Mother and your sisters shaking their heads at your unrepentant gluttony at the feast held during your return. It was the best you had eaten in over a year. The Knights Comitas, unlike several other orders, are widespread and operate independently for the most part. In contrast to the Order of the Broken Blade, and other Cain-aligned purely martial orders, the Knights Comitas funder, associate with and even directly control non-military missions such as a monasteries, nunneries and public places of healing for the downtrodden. Their members move from chapter house to chapter house at will, as these places are usually only stopping points on the way for guiding pilgrims and other holy missions. They are, to your knowledge, the only Holy Order to maintain a Chapter House in foreign lands, most famously in Cathagi at the start of the Long Walk. Even during your service you never understood how they distinguished the rank of one another in the order, not that it mattered for you at the time as they were all equally your superior during your time there.[2/3]
>>3262701Fascinating.I wonder how they direct themselves in combat without verbal communication. I'm guessing that the restriction does not apply to the written word and so those that do can communicate by doing so?
>>3262714I would assume those with a vow of silence would stick to either the library and other administrative duty's or fight at the lowest rung of the command structure
>>3262701[3/3]”Now, let’s look at getting you some food.” The waif looks up at Brother de Moray words, eyes wide and hungry. ”And perhaps a change of clothes, hm?””Food and clothes… almost werf losing dat gold coin over…” ”What gold coin?” The Knight Comitas say, standing up and stepping back to reveal the coin under his boot. The beggar boy takes the coin with some hesitation, a development you feel uncertain about. Technically, him catching the coin might be considered an act of thievery. But their behaviour, and obvious possession of more wealth than sense, would probably make punishing the starving waif an act of cruelty instead of justice. Still, you don’t entirely approve of the Knight’s Comitas tacit approval of the boy winding up with the coin.The other two knights help the boy up, dusting him off. You note that, aside from a few missing fingers and a torn ear they’re in relatively decent shape for a beggar and even younger than you had first though. You’d not be surprised to learn they had yet to see their tenth summer, if they even know when they were born.”Sir Andrei. A pleasure to make your acquaintance.” Brother de Moray grasps your hand with a surprising vitality for an old man. ”And what brings a young knight of Romaine to Fair Aubrey? The bustling markets, the rumours of Court and whispers of the fair ladies, the stirrings of Royal Power?””The Vigil, Holy Brother.” You speak with more respect than knights of other Duchies might, Romaine has always had a close bond with the Church and its Orders.”The Vigil, of course.” de Moray smiles. ”And do you come to pay your respects or stand the full night and day?”---------------------------------------------------------> “I come to pay my respects, as all knights should at some point.” It is tradition, and one you at least will not shirk from. [Hearty]>”As Adam held the breach for a night and day, so too shall I hold the Vigil so.” It is not a requirement, but you do not think it fitting for a knight to stand anything less than the full Vigil. [Haughty]>”I mean to stand the full Vigil, Holy Brother.

>>3262714>>3262722Those higher in the command structure are generally exempt from the Vow of Silence, so we can infer that Gilles de Moray is at least a leader of his immediate squad of knights if not higher in rank. Even those of higher ranks may take the vow, and receive special dispensation to speak only what is necessary for effective command.Taking the Vow of Silence does not proscribe the written word, but pious brothers will only communicate by such when it is a matter of necessity. Passing notes like school children in the brotherhood takes away from the purpose of the Vow.

How do anons generally feel about Emile possibly joining an order himself? Probably not right now as doing so might be a lengthy process for all we know and we've got other stuff to do, but as a long term prospect to consider.Forgotten, if you dont mind me asking, other than purely martial orders and the Comitas, what other types of orders are there generally? Can they be based on Families? service to the king/queen? etc.
>>3262815We've basically committed to serving a term of service with the dragonguard.
>>3262815err depends on the state of our brother, if we find any good noble women waifus and if we ever go through something traumatic that would make us want to join an order.
>>3262815>>3262828Even then as long as our brother is heir-less it makes joining an order pretty risky unless its only temporary like the Dragon Guard.

The pastebin is a bit large to repost here, but this is the link covering the major orders and I'll share some of the minor orders Sir Andrei may have heard of now.https://pastebin.com/Cu4FPGVMThe vote is clearly in favour of declaring your pilgrimage, though I shall leave it to another vote later to see whether this shall be one of your sworn vows to complete.I'll post a second update today, but I do not know if I will be able to post further updates during the weekend so forgive me if I appear tardy over the next couple of days.

How do you expect people to NOT vote for this.I suspected anons would veer towards a full pilgrimage at some point, but this vote makes it an official stated goal.>spoilerWith all this talk of it I really should give it a look.
These are just a few of the Minor Orders, I’ve only included ‘knightly’ orders as I’m sure you will meet pilgrims from non-military bodies during your journeys.>Order of the Aeldin Tree (SecularOld Faith)One of the oldest orders in Cantôn, pre-dating even the Brothers. Numbering no more than three knights at any given time, they stand a watch over the last Aeldin Tree in Aubres located in the Royal Gardens.>Sisters of the Silver Rose (Secular)A rarity outside of Romaine, these warrior women often act as distinguished bodyguards and chaperones for nunneries, feminine schools, Young Ladies and even the Duchess herself. They are forbidden from competing in the manly tests of martial skill such as jousting or melees and rarely operate in any greater number than one or two. While it is not uncommon for Romani ladies to have a female bodyguard, those of the Silver Rose are the only officially church-ordained martial order and thus considered of the highest pedigree for bodyguard work. By the women at least, the men are still uncomfortable with the idea though they see the necessity. Mother considered getting a few as your sisters come of age but Father forbid it, one of the few things he did not eventually cave to her on.>Brothers Mѐdical (Adam-aligned)Founders of the first established hospitals on the continent, the Brothers Mѐdical are in fact both medical professionals and knights. Essentially a branch of the Knight’s Comitas, this order works closely with non-knightly doctors, apothecaries and any half-decent herbalist to work to rid mankind of diseases and injuries that plague the world. Including two further Oaths; the first being to never do harm unless to immediately prevent graver harm being done, and the second to never refuse to give medical aid those in need, makes this one of the most exclusive and demanding orders. Their order has at times been censured by the Church for being not entirely in line with the harmony of the teachings of Salve Reginae, Adam and Cain.>Creedos Catechism (Cain-aligned)More a sect of the Broken Blade than a separate order, these warriors make the Broken Blade look virtually restrained in comparison. Out of all the Orders and Duchies it is only the Creedos that has continually launched raids against Ardenne itself, all ending in failure. Secretive and demanding of new recruits, it is whispered that members of this order adopt any measure, technology or sorcery to combat the gravest of threats. Their unflinching devotion and harsh zealotry may intimidate some, but when facing a rogue sorcerer or Dread Lord of Ardenne one of these knights is worth ten of any other order. While they work tirelessly against the Deadmen of Ardenne, it is rumoured that members of this Order have been reported to be operating as far as West of Langland and North of Norsikaa. God knows why.
>>3263236>By the women at least, the men are still uncomfortable with the idea though they see the necessity.Is this a line of thought common in Romaine? With their views on female folk, one thinks they'd be more accepting.
>>3263248It's one thing to let women have the run of things, but another to let them start meddling in affairs that have traditionally been the purview of men alone. It's only accepted because the issue of strapping young males guarding your virgin daughter comes with its own issues.So it's tolerated in Romaine, but viewed with incredulity in other Duchies.
>”I mean to stand the full Vigil, Holy Brother. And then also at Motte-Fallavon Fields, Brother’s Landing in Pascae and the Long Walk in Cathagi.” You had considered a full pilgrimage for some time now, but this is the first instance you have spoken so aloud. [Idealist]“I mean to stand the full Vigil, Holy Brother. And then also at Motte-Fallavon Fields, Brother’s Landing in Pascae and the Long Walk in Cathagi.” It is the first time you have said the words aloud, and you know them to be right as soon as they leave your mouth.”Hmmm. So he was right.” Gilles de Moray answers cryptically. ”Godsgrace I am glad to hear it, Emile Andrei. Too many of our young knights these days go through the motions without understanding, let alone making the commitment of spirit and body you intend. I bid you good day, Son of Ursen. I imagine we shall meet again soon.”You’re left wondering what the grizzled Holy Knight meant, and why such a pious man would know of the old ways. It’s not something your family generally likes to speak of, not to members of the cloth at least. [1/3]
>>3263273That makes sense. Damn interesting though.I wonder how emile will fare against one of them.
>>3263145I would fully support the Haughty Idealist about the shrines.Also Valen is an excellent read. Just be prepared for soul crushing failure on the Anons part since they can't blame it on bad rolls. In a way, it's very much the opposite of how you run quests.
Eventually you finally make your way through the winding, bustling streets of the Capital to your lodgings just as sun begins to dip over the city walls.The Lion's Mane Inn gives far too much credit to the word 'Inn'. The magnificent wooden structure isn't a mere place of drinking, it's a Hall worthy of any great Lord. They say the King himself here comes for a drink on occasion, and true enough distinguished gentry rub shoulders with commoners at the end of a hard days work. Having a friend among the Reginate is clearly a boon of no small consideration. Despite the place being packed to the rafters, literally, Sir Gilbern waves you over to a table reserved for yourself and the other people of note from the Caravan. The ale is cool, the women pretty, the music loud and the laughter merry. Your inner socialite skips and dances as you make your way through the throng to the table. Is every night at the Lion's Mane this animated? Perhaps the delivery of a great deal of wine had something to do with it."Emile." Sir Rabe grasp your shoulder without warning."What is it, Karlaus?" Your friend has a serious and slightly intoxicated expression."The bedrooms here have wool. On the floor." The Montbrun says. "Not wood. Note stone. Wool.""Those are called carpets, Sir Rabe." Sir Gilbern rolls his eyes, bypassing the overtaxed serving girls by bringing some ale mugs to the table himself."Carpets? Carpets. By God, you southerners have some bold notions." Sir Rabe says wondrously before taking another large swig of ale. "I want to take my shoes off..." The table laughs and the ale pours freely. Your week-long journey is over, it is good to shirk off the armour and dust of the travel. Even the squires talk animatedly amongst themselves, their charges and tasks complete in time for a drink. [2/3]
>>3263310[3/3]As the drinks are poured and the merry chatter continues, some hold their wine better than others."Ripped it's head off with his bare, bloody hands!" Sir Rabe brags to whoever happens to be in earshot, splashing his drink about between generous gulps."I used my sword, Karlaus." You protest with no small amount of embarrassment. "Like any knight is wont to do.""Never let facts get in the way of a good story!" Karlaus shushes you, then bellows to those nearby. "Bear hands!"If anything your downplaying of your contribution to the battle only cements to the growing audience that the truth is somewhere in-between Sir Rabe's boasting and your more accurate account. A number of 'oooh's and 'aaah's can be heard, as the Montbrun knight regales them with evermore colourful details of your party's journey from Grenoble. At least it's not all entirely falsehood, but that portion about wooing the perfectly ladylike Carthagi princess at the end is just ridiculous. Clearly some of the listeners are as drunk as Sir Rabe is, given that they cheer without question at the end. Miss Jean laughs aloud when you point out that they're all cheersing you with the wine she sold this place earlier today."Leave him be, Sir Andrei." Sir Gilbern smiles at the spectacle, sipping from his mug. "Do we expect Sir Rousseau to join us?""No, but I cannot blame him for preferring the quiet of prayer to this merry company." You say with chagrin, sitting but down. "But what of you, Sir Gilbern?"-----------------------------------------------------------> "Your report to the Queen was well received?

>>3263327He can do the pilgrimage like anyone of any birth, though traditionally he would stand another Vigil at the Church of Adam's Martyrdom once knighted.Historically, people sometimes actually paid others to go on pilgrimages in their stead. Then again, the Catholic Church also allowed people to literally buy their way into heaven so that's probably as slippery as a Pascae oil merchant.

Sir Gilbern speaks of it all, but he has never said a word about himself or his home. [Idealist]Partly because I'm really curious about life in the land of Fishing and Shekels, and partly because even though I was curious about what he was doing for the queen, in the middle of a crowded-as-fuck inn is kinda putting him on the spot.
>>3263318>"Tell us about yourself, of your life in Pascae." Monster-hunting, courtly rumours and his service to the Queen. Sir Gilbern speaks of it all, but he has never said a word about himself or his home. [Idealist]We've drank with him before. He was pretty reserved if I remember correctly. Getting him to talk about his home might be as much of a risk as trying to get him to drink up. Plus, a drinking game is likely to be backfire and Emile will go from hero to stooge.
>>3263501also i just got caught up, man this thread was a shitstorm early on

No update for the weekend after this next one gents, family time for me.
> "Tell us about yourself, of your life in Pascae." Monster-hunting, courtly rumours and his service to the Queen. Sir Gilbern speaks of it all, but he has never said a word about himself or his home. [Idealist]"Tell us about yourself, of your life in Pascae." You say, sending Mikail to fetch your table more ale. You and Karlaus spoke a great deal to each other on the road but, in between Mikail’s training and your other duties, you realise you’ve not sat down and talked with Sir Gilbern much over the week’s journey. Something you intend to remedy.Sir Robert Gilbern speeks freely and openly at first. He tells you much of the bustling markets of Port Bounty, where Pascae merchants rub shoulders with Langlish privateers, Norsikaan voyagers and Cathagi diplomats on a daily basis. It sounds like a remarkable place, though you can’t help but think that it sounds like some of the stories about Pascae merchants seem to be true. You'll have to watch your purse on your pilgrimage there.Sir Gilbern talks happily for the most part, but as the conversation veers to family and home his tone takes a more sombre tone. ”My Father and I… we are not on speaking terms.””You are… as Sir Rousseau was then?” You say quietly, not wishing to press the knight on something that clearly is not light talking. ”No. No, not like that. I am not banished, but I have no wish to return to that place. What he...” Sir Gilbern seems about to say something more, but then blinks and looks at his near-empty mug. ”Hmm. I must be deeper in my cups than I thought. I think I shall retire. Congratulations on leading a successful expedition, Miss Jean, and to you on your victory, Sir Andrei. I think we should speak again, on another matter that might interest you.””Of course, friend.” You nod, embarrassed to have raised a troubling subject for the Reginate. You believe there’s more to the story but have no wish to cause him discomfort. ”I did not mean to…””No, I know. There’s no mean guile in you, my good man.” The man smiles tepidly. ”And please, take that as a compliment.”The Queensguard bids you goodnight, managing to deftly avoid a crushing embrace from a now solidly inebriated Sir Rabe on the way to bed.”Well that was…” Track Jean pauses, then shrugs and takes a sip from her mug.You also offer no comment, instead electing to also take another swig of ale and watch Sir Rabe’s antics.[1/3]
>>3263898”Mah Pa had me break in mah first filly before I was even big enough to carry ‘is boots!” From what you can tell Miss Jean is bragging about how young she was one she tamed her first Wasteland Mustang. She’s not drunk to your reckoning, but her Wastelander accent comes out in full force after a wine or two.”Regardless, Miss Jean, your upbringing as a professional horse-tamer does not make you an endless font of knowledge on the complex issue of rearing such beasts in a domestic setting.” You scoff, though you admit you almost enjoy arguing with anyone on horse husbandry. No one at home took much interest in your hobby, even Father.”And I’m sorry, sir, but your lack of reading History from the Saddle or any of the dummies-guide-to-horses books hardly makes you an expert either.” Miss Jean gives you a wide smile, an infuriating know-it-all attitude serving her as well in horse husbandry arguments as it did in the market bartering.You bristle at the barb, but admit that you should get around to taking your interest in horse husbandry more seriously. At some point the Wasteland accidentally kicks you under the table . You’re sure it must be an accident, you imagine her leather boots would leave a noticeable impression on your now unguarded shins if it were intentional. Still, you notice that she doesn’t move her leg away afterwards. [2/3]
>>3263907[3/3]As the night draws on and the inn’s patrons begin to dwindle, you make your way upstairs. You have the coin to afford your own room, but at such a prestigious location and at such short notice you must make do with sharing a room upstairs with Mikail, albeit a comfy one. It seems your squire is already passed out in there, and it also seems he snores after drinking. At least, unlike Karlaus, he made it to his room. Miss Jean pauses by your door as you go to open it, apparently to gloat that she managed to secure a room all to herself. One with carpets.”You uh, you remember that book we were talking about?” For some reason the young woman hesitates, fiddling with a stray thread on her shirt.”You mean when you outed me as an amateur for not reading ’History from the Saddle’? Yes I remember.” You mutter sourly, though your grin takes the bite out of it.”Yeah, that one. I happen to have a copy.” Tracker Jean bites her lip nervously.”If you don’t mind me borrowing…””It’s in my quarters. If you wanted to read it that is.” The Wastelander’s cheeks flush with colour, red enough to camouflage her freckles. ”Tonight, I mean. If you want.”You are slow, according to your sisters at least, but you’re not that slow.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Contentious vote, probably, so 1 post IDs won’t be counted.

>>3263972Also Miss Jean isn't exactly some random peasant girl; her family is quite prosperous for Wasteland I guess in Cantonian society the closest analogy would be someone from the gentry or the merchant class?
>>3263974You're missing the point, sex should mean something to a Idealist like Emile, nobility shouldn't go sticking it in a peasant because she's attractive to a Haughty fucker like Emile.
>>3263990Just because a farmer or a millar is rich and succesful doesn't mean that they aren't still a commoner.
>>3263993Eh marriage as Sir Glasdale did would probably be the only real scandal; I'd doubt anyone would really care if for example the local lord was having his way with the chambermaid or something like that.
>>3263993They have a lot in common and seem to connect quite well. Who says it meaningless?
>>3263908>>”Well… In the interests of education, lead the way Miss Jean.” You’ve never lain with a woman before, and certainly not one like the free-spirited Miss Jean. [Hearty]Me>>3259611>>3259009
>>3264000>Eh marriage as Sir Glasdale did would probably be the only real scandal; I'd doubt anyone would really care if for example the local lord was having his way with the chambermaid or something like that.Again thats not the point, two of the three traits Emile has defintively frown upon these kind of tryst's, I could see it mattering less if Emile wasn't an Idealist but he is.>>3264001Because theirs no reason to say it will be yet, we have effectively know her for a few weeks at most and even then not particularly deeply as the most we've gotten out of properly is a Innuendo regarding Horse cock and horse talk in general.
>>3264018Its was marriage that surprised Emile, and once that was a reality he was supportive of their relationship. Let Emile live a little it doesn't make him a manslut.
>>3264027that really doesn't have any bearing on what Emile does here because its not his life that was impacted by that decision.
>>3263974I would say that sex is a rather important thing for somebody who's idealistic and haughty as Emille. Something you save for a high-born waifu for the first night as a married couple.>>3263990Most nobles in Canton frown at intermingling with the lower classes. It's even more preposterous if they're of foreign origins.>>3264027But it simply isn't in Emille's character. Why would the haughty idealist who stumbled in his words when he faced the Norveski lady and who showed a dissaprovement at Willem marrying the commoner (altough she did grow on him) go hunting for drunken cowgirls?
>>3264037>stumbled in his words when he faced the Norveski ladyHe was way out of his league there
>>3264037Glasdale literally married some random buxom peasant.
>>3264037Haha no.No I'm going to have to disagree with all your opinions of Emile, because above all those he's a young, naive, noble, healthy (ahem) man out in the world for the first time.He's still developing, through our choices, and this is a novel situation for him providing the opportunity for character growth in all directions.In character for Emile, at this point, would be to spaghetti the situation. The roll would be for if he spaghetti things badly enough to ruin his chance at sex or not.
>>3264046Also tipsy. And we all know he can't handle his alcohol well.
>>3264045yes and? thats Glasdale not Emile, while Emile can at least accept his Friend is married and happy about it he can also say that its was not prehaps the finest and most outstanding thing his friend has done for himself>>3264046>Ignoring that this in fact flies in the face of two of the three core character traits that drive Emile as a character.
>>3264052Your issue is that you're forgetting there are degrees and depth to all three character traits. They aren't DnD Alignments.To what degree you want to take those traits are perfectly valid, but so are the other anons.
>>3264052It doesn't fly in the face of those traits. There's plenty of justifications you could make along those axis.In fact there's two examples for yes and no in the vote post.
>>3264037My only guess (It's not a good one but it's the only one that makes sense in the context of things) is that despite his upbringing and status, Emile is very much a out of his depth young man when it comes to things like courting women, doing business in the realm of investments and merchandising and so on. So when you have someone like Jean who does not act like a normal woman by Emile's standards but also shares the same interest in a hobby and can be very upfront with what they want, it's no wonder that Emile can be tempted into having sex with her since most of the "hard work" was already done in the form of horse autism and the fact that she's giving us the time of day.With that being said, I'm not going to vote because I'm more curious as to how this is going to play out and whether or not Forgotten's gonna do another lightning fast elimination voting round again.
>>3264059>Your issue is that you're forgetting there are degrees and depth to all three character traits. They aren't DnD Alignments.Yeah and this tryst still flies in the face of most of the driving Ideas depth or no, I'm not denying that their may be depth to those but no discussion or thought has so far laid the foundations for such potential to be brought forward to Emiles character.>>3264060It entirely does, Idealism of Chivalry and propriety is not in sleeping out of wedlock nor is it within the propiety of a Haughty Noblemen to be sleeping with a common woman no matter how rich her family may be or how attaractive she may be.the only trait this may appeal to is his Heartyness but it clashes so poorly with his other driving traits that I can't see a concession to it under anything than the most egregiousof circumstances.
>>3264046I wouldn't mind if he banged some woman because of his brazen youth but I want that moment to be largely impacted on by previous events and situation. Just deciding to ride some cowgirl with whom we have talked a few times about similar interest and travelled with some time, seems simply too much of a drastic change. And we're also talking about a young knight who flagellated himself as atonement and who plans to stand the full Vigil on all the pilgrim sites. Would he truly fall into temptation so easily?
>>3263972Emile didn't mind that Willem slept with a peasant woman. He only disapproved of Willem marrying her.>https://archived.moe/qst/thread/3018178/#3019044In his own words:>''You spend several moments calming yourself before you respond. Sir Glasdale has behaved in an ignoble and unknightly way. More ignoble than those Lords with a brace of common mistresses and bastard children? You suppose the priests might have a different opinion on the virtuousness of Glasdale’s decision, but really this would all be less confronting if he was just ploughing the damned woman.''
>>3264071Absolutely he would be able to fall into temptation. Even Jesus doubted his Father on the cross before regaining his faith.Ain't you know any actually religious people?
>>3263908Yes, >”Well… In the interests of education, lead the way Miss Jean.” You’ve never lain with a woman before, and certainly not one like the free-spirited Miss Jean. [Hearty]
>>3264079So because Willen did it Emile the haughty idealist can? Your misconstruing the acceptance of what a friend has made as a life choice with someones own personal ideals.
>>3264071They spent a couple weeks together. Just becuase its not all written dosnt mean conversations didnt happen in between posts.
>>3263908> ”I… no, Miss Jean. That would not be proper.” Though you’re tempted, by God. [Idealist]While I do actually support pursuing Jean, I think it would be in keeping with Emile's character to not go for the immediate drunken tumble. The slow burn is more fitting here I think.
>>3264094I imagine that we wouldn't have had this particular occasion if Emile talked with Kyria instead of Jean on the way to Aubres.He would have been sexually assaulted by the former in that case, but that's another matter.
>>3264071>Would he truly fall into temptation so easily?He is young and inexperienced, its his first time in the capital after soon moderate drinking and has recently enjoy victory in battle and much success in business. The situation seems pretty favorable in that regard.
>>3264098That's why i voted for kyria, when Emile wakes up in her tent after being roofied it aint his fault.
>>3264079"Less confronting." He may dissaprove marrying a low-born more than having sex with one, but it doesn't mean he's fine with it. And while he wouldn't mind much that other people are doing it, would you really think he would so easily commit such an act himself?>>3264082Jesus doubted when he was nailed to a cross while having a whipped back and crown of thorns on his head. Emille is lying in a bed in a comfy room in which he's preparing for a good night's sleep.>>3263972Also, I'll change the vote to >>”I… no, Miss Jean. That would not be proper.” Though you’re tempted, by God. [Idealist]
As an aside, I wasnt here for BCQ, so what is Forgottens attitude towards writing lewds? Is it just a fade to black or what?
>>3264108It was decided with a vote which 'Tasteful fade to black' won.Dunno if he will keep doing that or give us a choice once again.
>>3264108Its kept pretty vague, no vivid details but enough to paint something of a general picture of what happened.Princes fucked up use of HBFM as a sex thing was certainly an intresting addition
>>3264093Haughty doesn't mean anything as long as he doesn't marry her. As for Idealist, Emile right now is tipsy with drink, young, eager and inexperienced so i find it unlikely that he won't accept.>>3264105>would you really think he would so easily commit such an act himself?Of course not. That's why Emile wouldn't have accepted while he was in the caravan, but now it's different now and I do believe he would do the act as both the drinks and having got to know her would make him much more likely to accept and be interested.
For Anons that are arguing that Emile wouldnt sleep with a commoner, Jean is wealthy, educated, and comes from a respectable family, shes hardly a random tavern wench we picked up behind the barn. Even if we married her(which is not what we're doing right now anyway), I believe Forgotten has stated that while father wouldn't approve, mother would, suggesting that while its somewhat improper, it still wouldn't come close to the social breach Glasdale committed, and probably wouldnt really hinder us from achieving high status in civilized courts and such
>>3264122>I believe Forgotten has stated that while father wouldn't approve, mother wouldI don't necessarily disagree with you Anon but I believe this bit was aimed at a possible Cathagi noble waifu.
>>3264124Ah, you're probably right, but still, considering the Cathagi are literal slavers, I'd assume it more or less applies to a family like the trackers.
We should fuck her, we need something to atone for. we have been too good lately
>>3264115>Haughty doesn't mean anything as long as he doesn't marry her. Oh it absolutley does, it means not sticking your dick in someone below your station.>As for Idealist, Emile right now is tipsy with drink, young, eager and inexperienced so i find it unlikely that he won't acceptEager is perhaps an embellishment on your part but I can certainly concede the Inexperinced part though I would say it could be made as part of the case for or against your desire to bed miss Jean>>3264122Trackerjean may come from a wealthy family of repute but that repute lies in the wastes a long way from Canton and still of common stock, she may as well be a peasant herder all things considered.
>>3264137>Oh it absolutley does, it means not sticking your dick in someone below your station.Then we will have to agree to disagree on this then.>Eager is perhaps an embellishment on your part but I can certainly concede the Inexperinced part though I would say it could be made as part of the case for or against your desire to bed miss JeanNot at all. I voted for persuasion instead of courting for Tracker Jean when Forgotten gave us the choice to romance her during the caravan trip. I didn't think Emile will try to romance her then, but now it's her who's making the moves on him. Also, with adding all the factors I mentioned earlier, then I find it unlikely he wouldn't accept.
>>3264115By the Blessed Brothers, if we have travelled with her for months and even a year, if we have known each other in more ways, if have gone through peril and comfort, I would've approved of it. But if we're going to stick our dick into a woman every time we get tipsy, then may the Brothers have mercy upon us.
>>3263908Aw shucks I'm away for a birthday and can't vote becuz new ID. But I will take the next swig for your health, forgotten
>>3264137There are degrees to haughtiness which is reflected by the two different Haughty options.
>>3264137Also, Emile shows eagerness even in the Idealist option.>''Though you’re tempted, by God.''>>3264153We already knew Emile isn't good with alcohol at all, so I think him getting tipsy would make him more likely to accept. Emile is human after all.
>>3264151>Then we will have to agree to disagree on this then.Sure, but you are entirely wrong by definition, I dont agree with your decision on this matter but their is obviously no way to change your mind.>>3264156Those aren't degrees of Haughtiness those are are radically diffrent interpretations of how Haughtiness plays out in a circumstanceI honestly wish we'd see this played more with other traits as Idealism choices so far lack a great deal of Nuance or complexity behind them
>>3264159That less eagerness and more an admission that Tracker Jean is attractive and tempting to Emiles more base urges.
By Cain's Seething Rage, is there anything more destructive than the waifu boner of an average anon?
>>3264153>>3264187Kek
>>3264170>Sure, but you are entirely wrong by definition, I dont agree with your decision on this matter but their is obviously no way to change your mind.That's fine by me mate.>>3264174>That less eagerness and more an admission that Tracker Jean is attractive and tempting to Emiles more base urges.Which is my whole point. Emile's base human urges, his bad alcohol tolerance, the fact it's Jean who's making the move on Emile rather than vice versa, and his clear attraction towards Jean makes it very unlikely to me that Emile isn't eager and won't accept.
>>3264187The edited Warhammer versions of those memes are hilarious.
>>3264191I know, I disagree on the general assertion that because he's had a bit too drink he'd betray not one but two of his core character traits.
>>3264170All [Trait] choices have shown some nuance so far - Idealist allowing us to either apprehend or challenge Vancewell to a duel, for example - so I don't believe it's a fair complain. Idealism might seem bland to you because - no offense - you appear to have flattened it into a "Perfect White Knight" image.As far as the Haughty discussion is concerned, I agree that a Haughty character would never marry a commoner. However, if we are talking about mere one-night stands I can see more variety, ranging from those who would find the idea revolting to those who would be attracted to commoners who have shown peculiar qualities that distinguish them as above the rabble.
>>3264209Well, it's not just that he got tipsy with drink. There are also other factors, but it's pointless to argue further since neither of us seems to be persuaded by the other.
I really hope you guys don't do this
>>3264218>Idealism might seem bland to you because - no offense - you appear to have flattened it into a "Perfect White Knight" image.Actually I wanted to play it with the whole Noblise oblige angle as well as the whole ugly side of chivalry, however certain anons alongside with it being the solid good guy choice regarding the treatment of others have made it impossible to treat it as anything other tha that.
inb4 path of thorns progression and I would rather not set a bad example for Mikhail. This feels extremely hypocritical considering how we chewed out our friend and if anything this is worse then marrying a peasant, this is simply a fall for temptation that leads to either nothing or a bastard it one night of fun to turn our back on our principles
>>3264300>inb4 path of thorns progression and I would rather not set a bad example for Mikhail. This really doesn't fit the profile as we know it of the path of thorns and Mikhail will only know about it if someone let's it slip It would probably be tracker jean shes candid like that
>>3264296>Actually I wanted to play it with the whole Noblise oblige angleAh, a fellow gentleman of culture.>as well as the whole ugly side of chivalryLook at the bright side, Forgotten mentioned that Idealistic will unlock the opportunity of Path of Thorns choices for the greater good. They be interesting takes on the subject.>>3264300As Anons mentioned before, Emile was more outraged by the shameless flirting (before he knew how things were) and marriage rather than sex. And even then he relented quite easily on the matter.
>”Well… In the interests of education, lead the way Miss Jean.” You’ve never lain with a woman before, and certainly not one like the free-spirited Miss Jean. [Hearty]I'm an anti-waifufag when anons try to force the MC to fuck every slut in sight regardless of consequences. I am voting for this because we're drunk and I want us to learn a lesson. Like >>3264134 said, we need something to atone for.
If this was instead some young virgin noblewoman would you guys of taken her offer? The only reason you guys are taking this is because tracker jean is commoner and is leaving so you don't have to deal with the consequences of your actions.Emile would believe it to be wrong in any other situation so why is it right here? because she's a commoner? because she's offering? there is no other way to view this as Emile self indulging in bad(by his moral values) behavior because he has been offered the chance and he's a little tipsy and tomorrow he will either let his principles slide become more like a cad or have to self flagellate and be racked by regret
>>3264282>>3264300>>3264357Okay, You know what? You've convinced me. >>3263916>>3263908Changing my vote to this:>”I… no, Miss Jean. That would not be proper.” Though you’re tempted, by God. [Idealist]Although, I hope Forgotten makes it very clear that Emile is very tempted and is resisting quite a bit not to succumb to his base urges.
>>3264357>If this was instead some young virgin noblewoman would you guys of taken her offer?Not if I disliked her or smelled it was some kind of political trap.>there is no other way to view this as Emile self indulging in bad(by his moral values) behavior And there are people who are perfectly fine to see this as a moment of weakness and deal with it, thank you very much.Hell, if Emile became so ovecome with guilt to swear to never have sex again until marriage I'd be perfectly happy - no more waifu bullshit for a while.
You guys make mountains out of molehills.At least both sides are valid this time around unlike the first vote.
>>3264357>If this was instead some young virgin noblewoman would you guys of taken her offer? Well yes, but then again I'm the kind of guy that would download a car if it was physically possible.
>>3264357Well yes, it's a consequence of his haughtiness. He's fine with it because she's just a remarkable commoner. Besides Emile's drunk and it reduces reason.
>>3264340he relented because the matter was done and dusted nothing could be done and emilie is not one to twist the knife
>>3264357To hell with consequences. If this makes Emile wiser in his choice of waifu in the future then so be it.
>>3264394a bastard is a pretty big consequence
>>3264398Dont worry. We'll send it into battle when they are young.
>>3264394also white bitch black company flashbacks
>>3264404Early abortion my man.>Black Company flashbacks intensifies
>>3264392Considering that it was literally in the first thread with Emile, it doesn't say much about his personality beyond the obvious.In any case, the other two points still stand so no, I don't think my opinion is quite debunked yet.>>3264398Oh don't worry, we'll deal with him just as Prince dealt with his. No biggie :V
>>3264398A bastard is just a free squire.
>>3264412And a massive stain on our honour
On second thought, fuck it im switching to the other haughty option. Emile hates peasant qts. Besides, I have a suspicion this is a trap that Forgotten is gonna fuck us over with.>>3263923>>3263908>>”I think not, Miss Jean. Good night.” Blood tells. Some may see the rutting with commoners as harmless fun, you do not. [Haughty]Switching to this.
>You spend several moments calming yourself before you respond. Sir Glasdale has behaved in an ignoble and unknightly way. More ignoble than those Lords with a brace of common mistresses and bastard children? You suppose the priests might have a different opinion on the virtuousness of Glasdale’s decision, but really this would all be less confronting if he was just ploughing the damned woman.”Well, if you’ve heard it all already… Congratulations. She’s pretty.”>”I… thank you.” Clearly the man had been expecting some resistance. It’s not that you agree with him in any way, you just don’t see the point of arguing with him. The man’s been made a fool of as it is, you don’t wish to push the dagger further in. At least the girl he married was a pleasing sort for a peasant, if a little to informal towards you.he still considered just plowing peasant woman confronting and held it in a negative light
>>3264429Doubt.jpgYou don't even share the same ID.
>>3263923>>3264429Both of these are mine.
>>3264429>I have a suspicion this is a trap that Forgotten is gonna fuck us over with.What makes you say that?
>>3264433Nah, he said plowing would have been less confronting than marrying a peasant. Was Emile more of a Cain Knight I'd agree that he would take a harsher stance on it but since he's not, I'm pretty sure that he can live with this choice.Besides, why would the QM himself - the dude who actually knows the MC better than any of us - allow such an option if it was OOC ?
>>3264460She probably really wants to show us the book. And that's all. And thats the trap. Also paintings of horses a lot of them
>>3264468I'd totally be fine with that too. Hell I'd give an applause if it ended up like that.
>>3264465>More ignoble than those Lords with a brace of common mistresses and bastard children? he doesn't seem to like the outcome of such trysts>why would the QM offer this optionsame reason he offered the ability to fight the necromancer at the end of BCQ
>>3264460Forgotten has been shoving peasant waifu romance options ever since we started the quest. He clearly baiting us into something.
>>3264480Fuck, you might be right.>>3263924>>3263908>”I… no, Miss Jean. That would not be proper.” Though you’re tempted, by God. [Idealist]Changing even though I want Mustang bawdy waifu
>>3264474> he doesn't seem to like the outcome of such trystsAnd where is it written that there will be a bastard?Oh wait, there's no such thing. At worst it will come down to a roll which doesn't mean much since most decisions come down to one in here. If we had to cower in fear of dice we wouldn't even be playing.>same reason he offered the ability to fight the necromancer at the end of BCQ> low tier god of necromancy = possible one-night stand with a womanThat's some quality fearmongering. And even if you consider this a mistake, I already told you some people are more than fine with it.>>3264468My body wouldn't be able to hold all the keks then.
I love how a discussion of traits turned into paranoia and fearmongering to get people's way.Too many damn people in this quest.
>>3263908>>3263908>>3263934>>”I… no, Miss Jean. That would not be proper.” Though you’re tempted, by God. [Idealist]Changing
>>3264300Bro where are you pulling Path of thorns out of, if it was Emile using his noble status to pressure some peasant woman into sex with us, then yeah sure, but Jean herself is freely offering intimacy, I'm not saying it'll net us Adam points, but this definitely seems like a neutral action path-wise.I'm not sure why you think its 'worse than marrying a peasant', if anything, miss tracker might be higher status than us in some aspects, considering shes been running the caravan for a while, and will likely have accrued some wealth. Anons are being too cut and dry about lumping people into either nobility or commoners. As for our principles, last I checked we don't have a vow of chastity, so no, we're not 'betraying ' our knighthood. >>3264357I cant speak for everybody, but I personally am interested to see how Emile would be affected by such an experience. Claiming that "The only reason you guys are taking this is because tracker jean is commoner and is leaving" is in bad faith and kinda projectory.
> Small extremely vocal minority shilling hard against every vote that isn’t for a copy of our mother because they don’t like adventure or consequences.Yawn.
>>3264500If you think fucking white bitch wasn't a bad decision in bcq I've got newz for you. If this is just one night thing that doesn't matter in the grand scheme why risk the fallout(bastard, mikhail getting bad ideas and it going public) it's a bad trade
>>3264512I'm voting against this shit because I think romance has no place in quests (or films for that matter) and I don't care to read it, especially considering we're on an errantry quest, not a get-a-gf quest
>>3264519What a weird person.Also this isn't romance, it's a one night stand.
>>3264282>>3264300>>3264357Okay faggot stop whining.>>3263939>>3263908>”I… no, Miss Jean. That would not be proper.” Though you’re tempted, by God. [Idealist]Disregard my previous vote. We better get a noble waifu after resisting all those peasants.
>>3264515Fucking White Bitch was absolutely not a bad decision. Fucking White Bitch with the powers of a fell God for the lulz was.Good thing Emile doesn't have access to the latter.>why risk the fallout(bastard, mikhail getting bad ideas and it going public) it's a bad tradeBastard has a very low chance to happen, I'm not even sure what bad ideas Mikhail could get and it going public is both unlikely and not worthy of note - there are plenty of knights plowing commoners and nobody bats an eyelash.
>>3264525Very knightlyI'm fine with it if as this other guy said we then "realise the errors of our ways" and swear off this waifufaggotry
>>3264519You do know that virtually every vote like this, and there will be plenty more at this rate, there is going to be a shitstorm between the “lol why not” crowd and the “MUST BE PURE JUST LIKE MY BEDTIME STORIES” crowd? You of all people probably have the biggest vested interest in getting this over with.
Enough fearmongering and you all get spooked.Just wanted to cap off the day's celebration with a nice night with our business partner. Christ.Some of you people are really neurotic. I guess Black Company made you that way or something.
>>3264509it's path of thorns because we are using her station as an excuse to forgo our principles and engage in an indulgent act. we are putting our beliefs to the side due to formality, ergo we are legalizing around our principles which is what path of thorns is
I guess the threat non stop whining works to change votes.
>>3264540Yeah this is getting kind of silly, using the logic anons are employing, we shouldnt have invested in the caravan, because if we rolled poorly we would be at 3 wealth with 2 debt, we should have not fought the centipede, the undead, and the beastfolk because if we rolled poorly we would have died, we should have ran away from the Cathagi troop because what if they tried to put in chains while we slept.Now, the thing is, technically this is all literally true, if we roll poorly on anything or do anything even slightly risky we can get screwed. But you know what? every one of those decisions ended being beneficial or offered intriguing story hooks( centipede eggs, dragonguard hire, returning Gabriels shield, +4 wealth). The point is that if youre not willing to take risks, then why are you playing the quest in the first place?
>>3264563The difference being that those decisions, as you put it, had risk versus rewardI fail to see what the reward is here
>>3264550m8 i doubt I'm going to completely swing vote, this is an important vote for character development it's not a one night thing and will change the way we interact with people in the future. people should take it a little more seriously and actually think about the consequences of their actions instead of dropping all thought when a woman gives them the time of day. that's all.
>>3264572Or you know maybe people have thought about it and decided to vote they way they did anyway?
>>3263908>”Well… In the interests of education, lead the way Miss Jean.” You’ve never lain with a woman before, and certainly not one like the free-spirited Miss Jean. [Hearty]Das ist Mine>>3259884

>>3264589and how just one night things will Emile have then I guess one with cathagi one with the nun and another with peasant girl>>3264592your going to end up with a cad man
>>3264348It's still not too late to change your vote to stop waifufags if you want to anon

>>3264596i want us to get in deep shit for this, sincerely. will give me something to shove in waifufags' face when they want to fuck around with commoners
>>3264569I'm not saying that we're going to get paid if we fuck Jean, I'm saying that anons who are psyching themselves out are being overly risk averse.>>3264543Again, I dont know what principles we're breaking here, it seems like youre inserting your own headcanon ideals for Emile and pretending that if we have a one night stand, Emile will be "putting [his] beliefs to the side", and 'legalizing around our principles', which frankly, sounds like bullshit, what 'legalizing' is going on here? Emile is literally just deciding whether to sleep with an attractive woman with some common interests, thats it.
>>3264604Genuinely okay with this happening too.
>>3264607>Emile is literally just deciding whether to sleep with an attractive woman with some common interests, thats it. and is fine with doing it because she's a commoner which is the justification everyone's using
>>3264612Who the fuck is saying its fine because shes a commoner? You're literally putting words in peoples mouths, if anything anons have been trying to argue that its okay to sleep with her because shes not really a commoner in the way Glasdale's wife was a commoner.
>>3264612The only person who believes this is>you
>>3264612Oh fuck off. You're arguing in bad faith now. It's not worth it.
>>3264626>>3264629this>>3264380
>>3264626>>3264629>>3264634whatever man enjoy your child support

>>3264642he was quite vocal
>>3264296I want to go some combination of "Overly enthusiastic about wanting to be proper because of insecurity from youth and lack of experience, combined with a still somewhat naive belief that Justice and Honour always win."Emile has yet to be truly tested.Anyways I don't really like Jean that much either, but Andre is Chad AF and gonna lay that dicking down.
>>3264569We can improve our relationship with Jean.
>>3264079>>3264115also these
>>3264000and this one so it wasn't everyone but a fair few
>>3264637I'd vote to do the same if she was a noble or the damn queen herself. So you can kindly fuck off.
>>3264650She does a great job in shoring up our weak points and will acquire many shekels for us. Shekels mean better armor and weapons. And plumes. Lots of plumes.
>>3264604Eh, I don't think they'll give damn or admit they made a mistake if this ends blowing up in our face. They'll just present apologia and excuses to justify it and then go after the next waifu. It's better you switch to prevent it from happening at all.
Someone needs to make a Chad vs Virgin meme with Wilhelm from crusader quest as chad and Sir Emile as the virgin.
>>3264651I dont know how much literary comprehension you have, but those anons were literally rebutting anons who were arguing that Emile is disgusted with the idea of sleeping with commoners, notice how they werent using the justification that shes just a commoner as a primary argument for why we should sleep with her.
>>3263908>”Well… In the interests of education, lead the way Miss Jean.” You’ve never lain with a woman before, and certainly not one like the free-spirited Miss Jean. [Hearty]You guys are missing the boat on Jean. Emile is not a landed knight. His brother is the heir to the family lands. Let's look at the choices we've had so far.>NorveskiWe pretty much blew it. Which honestly works out better. We don't need to be beholden to other lords.>KyriaHas trade contacts and can help Emile but she's a slaver. That's just not good.>JeanShe is from a wealthy family. She is well versed in trade. She shares interests with Emile. I don't know if anyone remembers but she was a possible ranged companion. She could really help Emile if he was to earn lands of his own.Jean isn't just for lewds, she's a keeper.
>>3264663I'm still bitter Wil ended up with the obviously inferior sister when she could have had the Queen of motherfucking Jerusalem.
>>3263908>”Why Miss Jean, who could refuse such an offer?” You’re bedding the woman, not wedding her after all. You wonder if you’ll be the rider, or the Mustang. [Haughty]Christ almighty, anon's are overthinking real hard. There's other ways to enjoy a night together that don't risk birthing bastards. I'd rather show the side of Emile that, despite striving for honour, chivalry and valour, he is still a man at heart. It's not like we were planning on taking up the cloth in the future.
>>3264607> It's what my character would do!Clearly fucking applies to all the options Forgotten put in. Tacit approval of either way.If you think the GM needs to "trap" you with bad choices, you should quit. No, seriously, if that's truly what you believe is happening in the game then you aren't going to have any fun. Trap choices are a sign of a terrible GM.And saying "but it HAS to happen this way" is fucking worse. It's a game of pretend, literally ANYTHING could happen. That beggar urchin we saved? Could have turned out to be a Noble child going out in disguise. Or a wandering wizard. Or the whole event could have been staged by the Knights on the patrol to evaluate the reaction of a new Noble Knight come to town who had been recently involved in a very political trial of a powerful and connected member of one of the main factions.So many reasons to intervene that the "Yeah Nah Peasant Scum" faction that seems to have popped up this thread tried to samefag against.Don't think that vote wasn't revealing AF. Shit came out of nowhere at the end of last thread.
>>3264668I don't want to make any commitments like that this early, but a nice tumble after a very successful caravan will improve their relationship even if they stay friends.
>>3264650I don't want a relationship with Jean
>>3264668This. You’re just missing the Norveski cousin, the nun. Inb4 future queen.
>>3264662You are blowing this out of proportion, hell she might take offense at a rejection.
>>3264677Too late for that, if you fail to realize that we are already friends with her and did business together.
>>3264669Murdering Fulk is a step too far.
I'm beginning to wish this quest had active sessions even if I'm not there for them so we don't have to deal with this bullshit so much. 20-30 minute for a vote and be done with it.
>>3264708Perhaps. Perhaps.Still, the relationship he had with her was fine until...well, Wil dun goofed.>>3264668Between the pilgrimage and offer to join the Dragon Guard I'm personally partial to an eventual Cathagi noblewoman.No sense in making plans so far in the future either way though, Quests tend to be too fluid and changing for that.
>>3264705We can still drop her and avoid this bullshit every time we have to vote (ha, as if)
>>3264717Yeah, I sympathize, My timezone is almost opposite to Forgotten, But even then I kinda wish votes closed earlier just so theres less contention overrall, it gets kinda tiring. It doesnt feel like it was this bad before this thread, as at this point it feels like 90% of the thread is pointless antagonistic bullshit. Honestly theres a bit too many people for a quest with this type of pace.
>>3264736>Honestly theres a bit too many people for a quest with this type of pace.It's also the subject material. Everyone wants to play the kind of Knight they want since it's such a broad thing.
>>3264604See what I meant?>>3264688 They've already doing it prematurely. I hope Forgotten has a roll for this. If we fail it and she rejects us just like Natalia, then it will be funny after all of this.
>>3264717>>3264736Agreed on this; no matter which side on the argument you're on right now.
>>3263908>”Why Miss Jean, who could refuse such an offer?” You’re bedding the woman, not wedding her after all. You wonder if you’ll be the rider, or the Mustang. [Haughty]I think this would make the most sense.
>>3264736In the same boat friend. I've accepted that I'm extremely unlikely to get a chance to roll, which is likely for the best considering my dice tendencies.I can't help but think that if Emile decides against reading with Jean, it'll be because he doesn't want to see Karlaus gloat about being right before in the morning. It'll be a repeat of him walking in on our talks about cross-breeds all over again.
>>3263908Switching from>3264618 to >”Well… In the interests of education, lead the way Miss Jean.” You’ve never lain with a woman before, and certainly not one like the free-spirited Miss Jean. [Hearty]
Forgotten, shouldn't she be called Jeanne instead of Jean? Jean is a masculine name.
>>3264900She's more savage than the Montbrun knight, who are you to question her name?
>>3264903Knigga, I'm just asking that's all. No need to be pissy.
>>3264900I mean Jean is used both for both guys and girls IRL.
>>3264937Oh, I didn't know that.
>>3263908>”Well… In the interests of education, lead the way Miss Jean.” You’ve never lain with a woman before, and certainly not one like the free-spirited Miss Jean. [Hearty]Still on time to vote?
>>3264937Not in french
>>3264981Yeah, but Cantonian names are a mix of European languages in general anyway.
>>3265048also, what have i missed? i don't feel like reading all the messages but can i assume it's another argument?
>>3265060In short, you got one side explaining why we shouldn't fuck Jean and another side explaining why it's okay to fuck Jean.That's the long and short of it.
>>3265072got it, sounds like a usual vote then.
>not being ridden like a Wildlands mustangFags. We've seen how she handles those beasts
>>3265099Gotta link a previous post in a vote bro.I mean.Look at this shitshow
>>3265143Sadly there isn't one. I just read the thread and skimmed through most of the shitshow. This vote probably won't be counted but one has to post so the next one will be counted.
>>3265159Point.
>>3264669>Not being mad that he instead didn't keep his heathen concubine as a loverLitreally the worst choice he ever made
>>3265313That was a bad quest with worse players. Fucking /pol/ tier.> Remember, the only crusade that wasn't an unmitigated disaster was the one where they sacked Byzantium, a Christian city.God I hope people don't try to relive Crusader Quest through this one.
>>3265463>> Remember, the only crusade that wasn't an unmitigated disaster was the one where they sacked Byzantium, a Christian city.Kys venetian fag. The fourth crusade damaged the Christian effort irreparably and ensured T*rk control of Anatolia.
>>3265463t. Venetian Also holy shit did you even read the quest? It was pretty damn far from /pol/ as one could get
>>3263908>”I… no, Miss Jean. That would not be proper.” Though you’re tempted, by God. [Idealist]I do this for many reasons. I min-max characters and don't want to lose the buff. We are Knights, Sworn to uphold our Sacred Vows. Lastly, we've been drinking. Drinking leads to flaccid dicks and bad itch, as well as regret and hangovers the next day.
>>3265908What buff?
>>3265931theoretically we could later take a vow of chastity like we have with our sword. i assume this would probably lock us out, or we'd have to repent for it.
>>3265940I was being facetious. The point is we have no such buff.
>>3265940>vow of chastityNah, we have to have kids to take care of the bitching keep and land we will be getting in the future.
>>3265956While we still have taken no such vow, it would still allow us to have legitimate childrenwith Tracker Jean
>>3265463So /pol/ tier that we tolerated muslims and made some of them courtiers.
>>3265908Lengthly discussion on this states that no vow is broken unless we cheat on our wife or have children out of wedlock.
>>3265992>or have children out of wedlock.watch us knock Jean up if the vote goes that way (which it seems like it's gonna.)
>>3266013Eh, things happen. I’m curious if it counts as out of wedlock if there is a marriage before the baby is born.
guys, the marriage thing is an extra stupid idea (but thank you for proving the anti-waifufags wrong)even if we do knock her up we should absolutely not marry her (foreigner and commoner). two serious, impious scandals won't somehow make us scandal-free. let's make a regrettable decision and learn our lesson. i'm ready for that.
>>3266184Seriously this, those people aren't thinking straight. Marrying a commoner? We would be disowned!
>>3265463>the only crusade that wasn't an unmitigated disaster was the one where they sacked Byzantium, a Christian city.Kek bucketheads are truly delusional

On another note, I wonder how Jean feels about the possibility that this leads to babies, Is she just fine with it? is she just tipsy enough to not care? maybe wastelanders have their herbal forms of contraception? is she infertile? or maybe shes just had had her period so she knows shes safe? who the fuck knows I guess, maybe Emile will find out in the morning.
>>3266894>Trust QM>Trust DiceWhy do you hate Emile
>>3266894>I trust you Forgotten, at least not to land us with a bastard out of spite. [QM Discretion]'Lest We forget the last time you gave us a chance to roll for something that we had no part in and it ended up as a critfail.

>>3267053Yeah well if the Qm rolls it and we fail no should botch about.But they will anyway, Od rather see shit rolls than a bitch fest because we left it to Qm fiat
>>3267072Yeah alright, you changed my mind, mate. We made the choice, might as well take it into our own hands.>>3266894>>3266904changing to > Don't believe the QM's lies! Seize destiny with your own hands! [Roll for it]

>>3267114>suggesting Emile would let a woman be in danger
>>3267072I don't think Forgotten is going to roll anything if we choose the second option. QM fiat declares there is no bastard, or so I understand.Which is QM-speak for "Now that I sated my peasant fetish, don't fuck up my plans" :V
>>3266894>roll roll rollSo much more fun that way
>>3267138Yeah I dont think hes rolling, but he could just be baiting us hard with the "not to land us with a bastard out of spite", and give us one anyway, either option seems just as likely to fuck us.
>>3267152Look, despite the mess that was Jenny Forgotten has never fucked us over. Hell, considering how many nat 1s Prince pulled he was the one who got fucked more than once.That is why I can trust him. He's not going to rule-lawyer this shit.
>>3266894> I trust you Forgotten, at least not to land us with a bastard out of spite. [QM Discretion]The other option is simply stupid. We"d be putting ourselves at risk just for the lulz
>>3267171Urgh, This is basically the toughest choice in this thread so far, I dont like flip flopping, but I'll just commit to my original choice then,>>3266894>>3266904>>3267081 switching back to > I trust you Forgotten, at least not to land us with a bastard out of spite. [QM Discretion]

>>3267205why wouldn't it? children born out of wedlock are pretty frowned upon and would likely affect our social standing, unless we decide to marry her. which would probably be its own can of worms.

>>3267205It does put our reputation at risk. Whether you think that matters is up to you though.
>>3267241Best ending ever.
>>3267240>>3267245That s not an endangerment though that simply of reputation, to say there is a direct endangerment is ridiculous
>>3267289True, but risking our reputation is what I meant when I said "we'd be putting ourselves at risk." I'm sorry if that wasn't clear.
>>3267289What a strange way of thinking, risks dont have to only include physical endangerment,
>>3267241I'm 100% ok with such an end.
Isn’t the roll just for pregnancy?
>>3267360I assumed it was also for good we FUCK
>>3267368It's guaranteed that "Despite your lack of experience, this will certainly improve your relations with Tracker Jean", so I think its only for pregnancy

>>3266894>>3266899>Don't believe the QM's lies! Seize destiny with your own hands! [Roll for it]I'll switch to this. I'm intrigued on how the rolls will be determined.
>>3266894> Don't believe the QM's lies! Seize destiny with your own hands! [Roll for it]Though I sorta want both. Have Forgotten roll for it in the background and later we will no doubt "find out" what happens.Though i'm also happy if we roll so it's fine either way to me.
>>3266894Man why do we have to even roll for a bastard? It's not like people didn't have birth control in the middle ages, and with Jean being a trader I'm sure she's got some.I mean, I don't know how society views birth control, but in general religion is against it so they can control access to sex (legitimizingit via marriage) so it's probably not something Emile would think of.But women have always had to be more practical about these things, given that they deal with the fallout.People have ALWAYS used it. It's the best argument for legalizing abortion, because it's harm reduction even if you believe fetuses are people with a soul and that abortion is murder, because making a it a legitimate and thereby safe option for the mother, prevents two people from dying - if that's your perspective.People are gonna fuck, and they're gonna get abortions rather than ruining their lives and raising a pariah child in suffering.So really there shouldn't be a roll unless Jean is exceptionally pious. Even then, there's a large number of pro-life women who still get abortions.Even if Emile isn't thinking about the risk of a bastard, I'm confident Jean is aware of it.

The simple fact that you would even attempt to twist this quest into your personal, simply put, satanic and evil worldview speaks volume about your character. There has never been any positive outcome in regard to abortion as it has been strictly forbidden, and at the very least met with social stigma, in almost every single religious dogma, society, and culture since time immemorial.This includes the fact that many women who go through with the sickening process have regret almost immediately afterwards, have a harder time becoming pregnant later in life, and are actually more likely to DIE due to the abortion.At the very least you have down the nomenclature. It is PRO-life, because the child in the womb is life and not ANTI-life, as you are so trying to shill here. May God have mercy on your soul, because when you go to Hell, the Devil sure won't be as forgiving.
>>3269927Ahahahaha holy shit. Please tell me both these guys are baiting. Fucking hell
boobies and vagina teehee haha
>>3269927You seem upset
>>3269927I have a strong urge to reply to your rambling nonsense, but I'm like 200% sure this is bait anyway so whatever.>>3269141Dude, I'm not really sure what point youre trying to make here, If Forgotten decides Jean has some form of primitive contraceptive then she does, if not she doesnt. You're not going to really convince Forgotten whether a roll is needed or not, deciding that and which circumstances necessitate it is literally the job of the QM. As for abortion, just dont, man. Regardless of your views, literally nobody wants to see the ensuing shitstorm from an abortion debate, It's a fantasy knight quest, leave complex modern debates to real life politics.
>”Well… In the interests of education, lead the way Miss Jean.” You’ve never lain with a woman before, and certainly not one like the free-spirited Miss Jean. [Hearty]> Don't believe the QM's lies! Seize destiny with your own hands! [Roll for it]-----------------------------------------------------------Tracker Jean is an enigma to you. A woman in a position of power, something Romaine is not unused to perhaps but not in the traditional domestic and influence sense. Rather than abiding by courtly interactions or trying to figure out what her game is, Miss Jean has struck you as one of the most genuine folk you’ve met. As a foreigner the norms of Cantôn don’t apply to her, she is a self-made adventurer and unabashed in her bizarre lifestyle. If she thinks a man wise or a fool she will call him wise or a fool, regardless of his station or place in society. Such an attitude at times rankles you, but it also fascinates you. ”Well… In the interests of education, lead the way Miss Jean.” You hope that sounded more confident to her than it did to you in your own head. Could you really be about to know a woman in the carnal sense?”I was hoping you’d say something like that.” Miss Jean smirks and with that grin all concerns of proper behaviour and the dangers of lust are momentarily banished from your mind. You want this woman.There is indeed a copy of ’History from the Saddle’ lying on the bedside table, but the Wastelander’s lips are on top of yours before you ever make it that far. It’s a somewhat awkward fumble, Tracker Jean has to stand on the tips of her toes just to reach your chin. To her relief, you lean down to make the task easier. This isn’t like your first playful kiss, stolen from one of the kitchen maids on a dare. This kiss is hungry, fierce and inquisitive. The tongue is a surprise, albeit a welcome one, as is the light bite on the lips.”Blessed Rains, what have they been feeding you?” While one hand runs up the back of your shirt another grips your arm, barely covering the top of your bicep. Jean squeaks playfully as you plop her onto the bed effortlessly. ”Woah there, big fella.””Apologies Miss Jean, I-“ You stammer, interrupted as Jean nudges you with her leg and somehow navigates her way out from under you, ending up on top.”Tonight it’s Jean, just Jean.” A light hand pushes your chest back down onto the bed. The same hand remains there as Jean expertly sends her signature hat spinning onto a bedpost. ”Now, let’s see about getting that shirt of yours off.” ---------------------------------------------->85DC0 = Congratulations, you are the father!1 = Is this your first rodeo?2 = Ride ‘em, cowgirl! 3 = Mixing business AND pleasure.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPFNUjoT7Tc You awake to a thin, wiry arm draped across your shoulder. The arm is kissed by the sun and dotted with freckles, further down there is a tussle of surprisingly soft hair splayed across your chest. So… that was something. You stare awake at the ceiling for the long minutes as the sun properly rises. You decide to unpack it all later, not just the experience but also what exactly you and Jean are now, if anything. Perhaps for a time when people aren’t starting to wake up and possibly notice that you haven’t slept in your room. You gently prise the arm away and slowly begin to sidle out of the bed.”Mmf. Was goin?” The mess of hair speaks, using as few words possible.”I’m going to get some breakfast.” You say softly, extricating yourself from the not unwelcome and warm embrace of your bedtime partner. ”Did you want me to have someone bring something to eat up for you?””Mmf. Sleepin’.” The mess of hair says nothing further.”Is that a-“ You are silenced by a perfectly aimed pillow landing in your face, thrown with remarkable precision by the sleeping Jean without her so much as stirring to aim. ”Right. Back to sleep then.”[1/3]
>>3273343update incoming?
>>3273349dont mind me
>>3273348You return to your quarters to find the room empty and tidied up. Downstairs the squires have already begun breakfast, Mikail setting aside a generous plate for you. Out of tall the squires yours is the only one that doesn't look absolutely miserable, storming on through the hangover to take full advantage of the bountiful breakfast before him. Mikail's appetite is.... voracious, he assaults the meal like he was charging a breach in a castle wall."How can you..." Sir Gilbern's surviving squire looks paler than usual. He pushes his plate towards Mikail, shuddering as the boy grabs it eagerly. Monisuer Lireaux gets up slowly, stops and then heaves rushes out the back door. As for Sir Rabe's squire, the boy groans and curls up into a ball on the bench. Likely his first time drinking.You ask where the man himself is, Mikail continues digging in and points to a leg sticking out from under a table. Apparently Karlaus refused to go to bed, insisting he wasn't even drunk yet."Never mind them, Mikail. Keep eating, you'll want to be fully recovered before we begin our Vigil before sunrise tomorrow." You yourself commence your own assault on the food, albeit somewhat more calculated and restrained than Mikail's. Eggs, mixed with milk and scrambled over a pot. Delightful, and these pork belly sausages no bigger than a child's finger certainly hit the spot. These small pastries, surely a dessert? And baked this morning from the warmth. The Lion's Mane in certainly lives up to its reputation in the catering department. You decide to spend the rest of your stay in Aubrey here, after all you have the coin to spare for such a luxurious lodging. And you're certain that means securing your own room away from a snoring Mikail."Ysh m'lfgh *burp*, Yes m'lord. Sorry I slept in this morning, sir. Them maids were already making up the room by the time I got up." You wave off his laxity with just a hint of relief. It appears that Mikail didn't notice your absence from your quarters last night or, if he did, he thought nothing of it. The boy suddenly jumps in sudden realization, nearly choking on a mouthful of egg. "Oh m'lord! Them lot in the foyer received a letter for you this morning."At least he remembered before you left for the day, you think. And it gives you something to read over breakfast.Then you notice that this letter is from Mother.[2/3]
>>3273357[3/4][3/3]Emile Pawel Syzmon Andrei,You are in so much trouble. I was this close to throwing your father out on his ear into the commoner barracks when he came back without you, victory or no. You can imagine my surprise when we received an invitation to dinner from Lord Norveski, I knew from your letter that you were on friendly terms which is well done of you but I clearly that aging vulture sees some advantage in closening ties with his neighbor all of the sudden. That trial of yours must have really stirred things up. Your sisters loved getting that juicy bit of gossip ahead of time by the way, well done. As for the dinner itself, that daughter of his made quite an impression. Cunning, beautiful and confident, she reminds me of me. Probably why I dislike her so much. Of course, your sister Anastazja has the younger Norveski brother wrapped around her finger already. Don't worry I'll make sure she goes easy on him. So I suppose your antics cannot be considered a total disaster for our family. But I wish you'd have told me beforehand, are you trying to send your poor worried mother to an early grave with these antics of yours?Please come home after you're done with this. And let us know if you find that infuriating brother of yours, last we heard he was at the Capital. Your sisters would like to hear absolutely everything, what's the latest fashion? Who's marrying who? Have you kissed a princess yet? Such inane questions from these girls, I swear. They get it from your father, I know. Be sure to send them each some bauble from the markets, I'm sure that would please them.As for your sisters themselves they each send you their love and prayers. Roselyn is attending some ball or something, our first major appearance at Court since your rash brother caused that previous incident. Anastazja is busy locking down that Norveski junior boy, maybe this one she'll keep. Halina's studies continue, I think she has aspirations for a nunnery. Goodness I hope not, your father says another one was attacked by the southern isles in the night. No survivors, who knows if it was Cathagi or Deadmen? And I haven't forgiven you for getting Maryla that disgusting egg, what kind of gift is that for a Young Lady? Despite your warning she's still scaring the young twins at every opportunity. And she insists she will join the Silver Rose, thank Salve Reginae I still have a decade to point her in a more ladylike direction. As for the young twins, they can't talk yet but I'm sure they're praying for your safety as well.As am I, you foolish boy.LADY PATRYCJA S. ANDREIP.S. Your idiot father says he's very proud of you and good job slaying that monster etc etc.
>>3273360[4/4]You take the ‘another one’ to mean that another nunnery was attacked. This makes 2 in as many years, the last in winter but this one in spring. A pessimist would say that the Deadmen were getting bolder, if it is indeed them.At the very bottom after mother's neat and crisp handwriting is a hastily scrawled 'VERY PROUD OF YOU, MY BOY! RIGHT MAKE NIGHT DON LET THEM FORGET!'. You suppose that 'N' was supposed to be an 'M', and the Don't is missing a 'T'. Usually Father has his letters ascribed for him and it tells, though you suppose he was lucky for Mother to have let him write anything at all after the sleight the two of you pulled. One of the many advantages women have over men in Romaine, they are more trusted with the correspondence. In fact, you've heard that in some areas of the Duchy many noble men are barely literate and rely on their wives as midway scribes.Thankfully you shared a tutor with your sisters, so your handwriting is at least functional if not pleasing to the eye. You raise your eyes to call for a pen and paper only to see that one of the inn's staff is standing nearby with one ready. Really, the service in this place is top quality.Seeing this as good an opportunity as ever to instruct Mikail on his letters you begin to slowly print out your reply.-----------------------------------------------------------------(1)>What do you write in return? (It can be a general gist rather than a specific quote if you prefer)(2)>Do you recount your caravan journey in full or leave out some of the more sobering details to avoid worrying Mother?(3)>Do you send anything else home with the letter?For the purpose of this letter, we can assume you send another shorter version before you leave the capital with your next destination in mind.
We should probably let them know that we intend in future to stand a full Vigil, then also at Motte-Fallavon Fields, Brother’s Landing in Pascae and the Long Walk in Cathagi. as would assume that this may take some time it would also let them know of our planned movements and approximate when that may begin.
>>3273366I would put emphasises on our little merchant like endeavour. Two very nice ladies we met on our way to capital. (For mom and sister amusement)Knights that are acompaning us great kniggas and all that.
Thread is archived here. We've not even been up a week but I feel like this thread has taken quite a lot out of me, yowser. I've got a camping trip out in a place with no internet this weekend, just an fyi. I'll probably only provide an update tomorrow and the day after before calling it.http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?tags=Sworn%20to%20Valour
>>3273366Tell them about our plans for Vigil etc, tell them about the caravan (slaying the Foe specifically), make it a little exciting. Tell them of our friendship with Sir Rabe and Sir Gilbern and how well we did at market. Send a few gifts (silks etc for the girls, maybe a nice dagger for Maryla with some fancy design on it?). I think we should leave out the sad news about returning the shield and the banishment there, private affairs and all that
>>3273366(1)>What do you write in return? (It can be a general gist rather than a specific quote if you prefer)Tell them that our brother was in the capital and is heading towards Motte-Fallavon which is where we're heading next. Also, tell them that if our sister Roselyn is gonna attend court at the capital, then she should be on her guard as we may have made enemies there. We might have to attend court too, so we can look after her (always gotta look after family.) >(2)>Do you recount your caravan journey in full or leave out some of the more sobering details to avoid worrying Mother?Tell them everything we did during our journey (including what we did with Tracker Jean) and all of what we plan to do. They're our family, so we have nothing to hide from them.>(3)>Do you send anything else home with the letter?As long as it doesn't lower our wealth status, then I leave what gifts we send to them to your discretion Forgotten.
>>3273422>(including what we did with Tracker Jean)Excuse me?
>>3273426Didn't they boink each other?
>>3273426Also, what happened to that trade contact we got from letting Jean ride us?
>>3273428Anon, I'm not sure how sexually liberal your family is when it comes to discussing these sorts of things but I imagine it's a darn sight moreso than any Cantonian not-middle-ages family. Or most modern families.>>3273430Yes, I forgot that. Thank you for reminding me.> 3 Success> Tracker Jean is now COMRADE Loyalty> GAINED Freetown Trade Contact> Expeditions to the single largest permanent Wastelander Settlement far to the North and East are lengthy and dangerous, but the risk is often well worth it for bounty in Wasteland Mustang stock that can be procured there.
>>3273366(1) regrettably inform our mother that we intend to make pilgrimage all the way to cathagi and we may not be back in a while, but also tell her we will do all we can to find our wayward brotherand promise we will always keep in touch(2)recount the journey with it's trials and glories and tell her we do all we can to stay safe we know the price of hubris, also inform her of connections tracker jean has and ruminate on the possibility of getting a breeding pair of mustangs so the family house has strong horses to rely on(3) maybe a holy trinket from the main church we are visiting tomorrow
>>3273438Don't tell them about the details of the boinking obviously, just tell them that we lost our virginity to a woman named Tracker Jean and that she's a Wastelander from a respectable and wealthy family (although they're aren't part of the nobility.)
>>3273438So did the jousting knight's lance find its mark, or did it slide into holes previously not considered? Was the lady opponent floored and downed by our dexterous handling of the ride? Did the mount buckle a lot, or was it more of a long smooth canter? Did they hold hands while doing It?
>>3273438Also...>Yes, I forgot that. Thank you for reminding me.You're welcome.
>>3273422Are you seriously suggesting we tell our family we fucked some common chick who leads caravans?
>>3273443Seriously dude, it's like spaghetti of the highest order. Did you text your mum after you got laid the first time?
>>3273443>respectable and wealthy family>a bloody trackerLet's not
