“Could you create a bridge of ice over the river?”

Mildri examines the map for a few seconds “Yes, but it will be very taxing if I do that, I won’t have much left in me to help you.”

“That’s alright, the ice bridge could end up being more valuable than any other magic spell, and you might not even end up fighting when all’s said and done.”

The open of the inn’s front door catches your attention, and you turn to see Randolf standing in the doorway, “Excellent timing Randolf, I just received our next assignment from the Queen w-”

“As have I,” he interrupts. You give him a quizzical look and he continues. “Since you’ve been cleared of suspicion, there’s no need for you to have a commissar by your side anymore. I being reassigned to help the Royal Spymaster on a mission he’s been given, I just came by to say my goodbyes.” Giving you a proper salute Randolf goes on, “Captain, it’s been interesting, I can only hope that half the people I investigate end up being as much of a challenge as you.”

>“Farewell Commissar” he may not be YOUR commissar, but he is still a commissar and you need to stay on your toes.
>“Goodbye Randolf, I wish you luck on your mission, you’re going to need it.”
>“You were a pain in the ass, but I don’t think I would have wanted any other commissar by my side. So long Randolf, may our paths cross again someday, hopefully it will be on better terms.”
>[Write In]

>Current plan for the assault: Set up crossbows, protected by heavies, across the river from the ritual site and fire on the shamans to kill the shamans and lure the swamp folk over the river where you will ambush/swarm them with your medium infantry. Then create an ice bridge over the river to finish off the remaining shamans and swamp folk still at the ritual site.

I need two more things from you:

>1. When you plan to attack, i.e. 3 days from now, or the day of the ritual, etc. (Remember the longer you wait, the more swamp folk and shamans there will be.)
>2. Time of day of your attack (day or night)

For the anon who was asking last thread, magic is not very easy to learn, and even then only those with natural aptitude ever become good at it. While you could learn animal magic eventually, it might take years for you to learn enough to cast a decent spell. You would have to study under a master for a number of years and even then without natural aptitude you will only be able to cast a tier 1 spell at most.

applying poisons to your weapon is possible, but you'd have to find an alchemist willing to do so. The selling of poisons is highly regulated under imperial law you see, so only a few alchemists have the means and would be able to sell to you.

>>3287248

>“Goodbye Randolf, I wish you luck on your mission, you’re going to need it.”

>As soon as possible

>day
Our soldiers can't see in the dark and we don't know what they are capable of.

During this time I realized a flaw on our plan, they could try to send a wave over the bridge while we cross, so Mildri should have a potion to regen her energy and be prepared to counter that if they try.

>>3287248

>“Goodbye Randolf, I wish you luck on your mission, you’re going to need it.”
Give him the antidote recipe we used on Needle against the assassin's poison.

Set up an ambush to intercep some of the warriors going to the ritual site so we can get a sample of their poison and prepare the antidote, we attack after we have it or the ritual day comes around, whatever comes first.

I prefer during the day but we can do it at night if we have to due to the antidote.

“Goodbye Randolf and good luck on your mission, but should your luck fail you, have this,” you quickly scribble down your recipe for detox tea and give it to him.

“What’s this?”

“It’s a recipe for a tea that will purge poisons and other toxins from your body, the last time I fought that assassin she poisoned one of my men and I used this to save his life. Be careful when you use it though, it has some nasty side effects.”

“Thank you Captain. Now if you’ll excuse me I’ve got another goodbye to say.” With that Randolf slides past you and sits down next to Mildri. At that same moment Selenas walks into the inn. She jumps slightly at the sight of you, but she takes a breath and steels herself as she approaches you.

“I don’t want to kill my friends,” she says, keeping her voice steady “But if I don’t you and hundreds more could die. So I’m coming with you and if I have to, I will… I will… I will kill my friends.” She finishes, her stony expression matching your own.

“Very well, if you say you will do it. Then I’ll believe you’ll do it.”

“Thank you,”

“Is that you lass?” Randolf calls from across the inn. He quickly crosses over to Selenas and asks, “So, have you made up your mind, are you staying?”

“Yes, I’m going to stay by Baldr’s side for the coming battle.”

Randolf sighs heavily “I thought you’d say as much. Are you sure though its no-”

“I’m sure Randolf,”

“Well I wish you luck then” Randolf closes in and hugs her “and stay safe.” Randolf breaks away from her and heads out of the inn.

“Where are you going?” she calls after him

“I’m being reassigned lass, you two have been freed of suspicion and you don’t need a commissar to watch you anymore.”

“So this is goodbye?”

“Yes lass, this is goodbye, but don’t worry we’ll meet again before all this is over, I guarantee it.” Randolf flashes both of you a smile before heading off down the street.

“If he’s being reassigned, then where are we going?” Selenas turns and asks.

“We’re being sent to eliminate, some swamp folk supporting the rebel army.”

“Swamp folk?”

“Yes, the same kind that killed your father.”

Selenas pauses for a moment then looks you directly in the eyes, “when are we going?”

>Try to get the poison yourself, a single man attacking the train of warriors is a lot less likely to draw attention.
>Just bring Selenas, and Mildri to get the poison.

You depart quickly explaining your plan to obtain swamp folk poison along the way, but not before making a stop by the markets to pick up two additional owl sight potions. You are stopped at the southern gates but after a brief discussion with the gate guards’ sergeant, you are allowed through with a warning to watch out for rebels.

Unfortunately, your travels are far from pleasant, as you travel the roads toward a suitable ambush spot, you are spotted, not by swamp folk, but by your ordinary gang of peasants. Wielding everything from large sticks, to scythes, to pitchforks, to in one man’s case an extremely old and rusted looking sword, the horde of fifteen men block the road in front of you as the man with the sword swaggers his way up to your horse.

“Hold there traveler, what’s your business on these roads.” The man asks putting as much authority into his voice as he can muster.

“We’re just passing through on way Jaun.” Your respond

“That ain’t no place I ever heard of,” one of the other peasants chimes in walking his way around your group. “Sounds like an excuse a spy would use.” He spits.

“Yeah and that armor he’s wearing is way too expensive looking for just a traveler.” Another peasant pipes up.

“Yep it looks like we caught ourselves some spies on their way to snoop on Falenta.” The man with the sword says, pointing his blade up at you.

The peasant horde had made its way over now and had encircled your group, if you wanted out of this mess, you’d have to act fast.

Wait and you think she really cares about you. I have a question for you. How many of your fellows what you started with are still with you. How many times have you charged at the front and been slaughtered. And then when you have worn down your enemies The Mercenaries and the heroes charge right and taking all the praise for your hard work. How many of your towns have been raided by Bandits. How many of your wives and daughters raped by scoundrels. Do you still believe that the bright days of goodness and happiness will still come. She has lied to you. A queen offered you protection for freedom. You want your freedom but look as what has gotten of it. Now you will do as you wish I'm not going to stop you but think clearly look at what has happened and realize who is truly the worst her the queen or yourselves. As you realize that you are nothing more than a group of Bandits terrorizing your fellow Countryman. And how you're doing more harm than the queen could ever do and how meaningless it will be at the end.

“First of all it’s Falanta, not Falenta. Secondly, how dare you question me Walden Casenheim, Falanta’s holy lancer and general!” You let the indignation flow through you as you berate the hapless peasant. The rest of the peasant mob backs away slowly as the sword armed peasant at first confused by your reaction, was now wilting under you. “And another thing, who told you to be out here, do you want to give away our position to the Queen?”

The peasant can no longer even look up at you and merely mutters a reply “no one sir, sorry sir, we didn’t know sir.”

“Enough of your excuses, I ought to bring you all to Falanta and make you explain yourselves to her!” as the peasant approaches verge of collapse under your words, you relent “I will overlook your idiotic blundering if all of you head home and stay home until after the battle is over, agreed.”

“Yes sir, we will sir, thank you sir.” The man blubbers.

“Good, now GET OUT OF MY SIGHT.” You bellow, and the mop of peasants scatter, running as fast as their leg could carry them.

As the peasants run out of ear shot, you can hear Selenas snickering behind you. “You know you did sound a little bit like Walden.”

“Did I sound enough like him to fool the men guarding his tent?”

“I wouldn’t push your luck that far, Falanta would have sniffed you out in a second.”

“Well it’s a good thing, I’m more of a fighter than an actor. Let’s move on.”

You spend the rest of your trip in relative peace and arrive at the road leading from Falenta’s main camp to the ritual site at about dusk. Taking your time, you pick a good ambush spot and wait. As darkness truly begins to encompass the road, you have every one drink their Owl sight potions. The effects are almost immediate, your once pitch black surroundings were now as bright as they were at dusk. With your enhanced vision, you see the oncoming group far before they see you. It was a group of about 10 swamp folk, most of them appeared to be warriors, but one among them, a woman dressed in very colorful robes, looked to be a shaman. As the group approaches you weigh your odds.

Shit, its a big group but if we take them out it will be a big blow to their forces since they are expected to have less than 70 guys at the ritual.

Let's open up with a tier 3 spell centered on the shaman and Selenas and Baldr finish any, if any, that are left, she can take her potion and support us if many are left, if the spell fails we bail.

>>3290957

>Hit this group, it will be a good chance to take out a shaman as well as get some poison.

>>3291058
They are a bunch of midgets and a shaman. I think we just need to kill the Shaman ASAP, then Selena’s and Baldr can beat down the rest. Use the minimum amount of magic necessary to kill the shaman. We will have other patrols we need to take out as well.

>>3291150
Why take out other patrols? We are here just to kill these dudes and get their poison to make an antidote for our troops, we are not attacking other patrols today if we can help it.
And don't underestimate them, 9vs 2 is not good, we have to take out as many as we can at the oppening

>Swamp Warrior Slain


The first two swamp folk you and Selenas encounter barely have time to shout a warning before the two of you cut your way through them. The rest of the patrol recoils back from your attack and try to regroup around the shaman who begins some kind of singing chant. She barely gets past her first few words however as Mildri lets loose her spell, she kicks a puddle of muddy water sending a splash of water high into the air, with a few more words from her incantation the water hardens into rain of icy death, skewering most of the swamp folk and ending the shaman. The three remaining swamp folk scatter diving into the surrounding thickets the road.

“After them,” you shout “Mildri hit the one that went right, Selenas go after the one who ran back towards their camp, I’ve got the last one.” The three of your split up and chase after the little swamp folk. In the dense shrubs it’s hard to keep your eyes on your target and you’re surprised at how fast he moves somehow sliding between the denser pockets to grasses while you have to work just to move at a jog. You don’t let that deter you however as you crash through the foliage behind him.

Like a ship breaking waves you surge after the little swamp man, he desperately weaves between the grasses trying to either get ahead or out of sight, but no matter where he runs, or where he hides, you follow him. Approaching melee range, your quarry lets out a shriek as grasses tangle around his foot and trips falling onto the ground. Pressing your advantage you close on the man and prepare to deliver the coup de grace.

Meanwhile

“Damn this grass, damn that little rat, where is he?” Selenas mutters as she combs the grass for her target. A rustle of grass to her left warns her just in time to block a short spear thrust from the swamp warrior. He doesn’t relent though and presses her harder letting out a little war cry as he attacks.

A short distance away, Mildri unleashes her spell the warrior cries out as he is struck by a spear of ice jutting out of a puddle a foot away from him. Mildri catches her breath watching as the swamp warrior collapses into the grass.

Carving into your target, you deliver a deep cut into the swamp warrior’s side. Blood pours from the wound as the man kicks himself free of the grass and tries to get back on his feet. You are about to follow up and finish the man off when Selenas’s voice bounces around your head as she screams through your ring Baldr help!

Being pressed hard by the swamp warrior Selenas tries to hold on, but she just can’t stem the tide of blows. One lucky stab shoots past her defenses and plunges into her gut. Pulling herself off of the spear Selenas dances back and puts a thick patch of grasses between herself and the warrior as she reaches out to you through her ring.

Alright boys you're lucky enough to get in sight of her to use the ring, but using it will severely weaken you. You will take 15 damage while Selenas will take the other 5 she would have received. She will survive, but both you and her will be in a bad way for the coming fight.

Hold on, I’m coming, make some noise I can find you. you reply leaving the wounded warrior to stumble away into the grasses as you head off in the last direction you saw Selenas.

“Baldr, I’m over here,” She calls out from some distance away in the brush. You barrel through greenery at break neck speed, she wouldn’t have called you if her situation wasn’t dire, you can’t lose her, not now, not when you were so close.

Shouting at the top of her lungs, Selenas can only hope that you arrive in time as the warrior presses in on her again. The warrior is fast, ferocious and unrelenting as he attacks again and again, wearing Selenas down until, there and opening. Striking fast, the warrior’s attack slips through Selenas’s guard driving right for her heart.

You emerge through the brush just in time to see the spear thrust into Selenas’s chest, at that exact moment you reach out and focus harder than you’d ever done before and shout “STOP!” The warrior’s spear stops just short of her heart, a barrier erupts from around Selenas shoving the warrior back and away from her. That action was not without cost however, searing pain erupts in your own heart as the rings magic takes its toll. Fighting through the pain you step in between Selenas, and the recovering warrior. “I’m here,” you say over your shoulder at Selenas who had collapsed on to the ground and who’s only sign of life was the rise and fall of her chest. Readying yourself, you face off against the recovered swamp warrior as he charges toward you.

>Let’s see if you have better luck than Selenas give me some d20s.

Slowed by your wounds you can’t react in time as the swamp warrior closes and lashes out with flurry of strikes. Only able to knock aside the first strike, the warrior’s second stab speeds toward your throat, only to be pushed back by the light emanating from your armor. Letting out a scream of frustration at being denied a kill a second time, the swamp warrior flies into a rage striking out at you again and again trying furiously to end at least one of you.

>>3296287
I know, but it's never at the height of the story's climax it's just stuff in between and that makes it worse. it's like after you defeat God in a game, enemy in the beginning your area finishes you off.

>>3296298
First things first. You have to finish off that other swamp guy.

>>3296304
no way, let that guy go or ask mildri to finish it with a spell, we are in no shape to fight

>>3296298
Get loot, then get out of swamp. We took out a shaman and should have plenty of poison to work with. I’d call it good.

>>3296298
Probably to Selenas since she is the one that is part of the story, or maybe to someone on Falanta's side.

Now we need to focus on getting selenas back, lets get the poisons and princess carry her all the way to the capital, we are not leaving her side until she wakes up.

>>3296306
do you know the chances of it just Bleeding Out.

>>3296313
She rejected us bro. Well I do get waiting for her but I don't think she actually wants us there.

>>3296298
we need something to give us moer health, let's hit the special items vendor when we arrive in town later

now we have to loot and take care of Selenas, carry her to safety.

Looking from the side of the swamp warrior, his name was Ug'trax and he was accompanying his mate to the ritual, this would be her first ritual since they became bonded and they were happy to be on the road together, that was until all hell broke loose and he saw her die and run like a coward, but no more, he would avenge her

>>3296322
she wants it, even if she doesn't have romantic feeling for us (yet) she likes Baldr a lot, enough for her to kill her friends for him, she would like him to be there

>>3296298
Hey who wants to be a bandit. Seriously though let's be that Bandit guy from the last thread. I'm pretty sure the lands that the Rebellion holds are pretty Lawless.

>>3296313
Nah no waiting by her side. We’ll see her when she gets up but we need to spend more time with Mildri. Mildri took out multiple Swampy Bois. Selenas couldn’t even get 1. It’s clear who’s better.

>>3296332
Hey dude can you please explain to me your beef I would actually like to understand you or it'll either be really funny please tell me.

>>3296298
That was crazy, thanks for running.
We have to check the shamman, and give Selenas some potions, we almost lost her.
I would like to play as the spymaster maybe, but really I want Baldr to reach his promissed canon of having a clinic with Selenas, we just have to make him survive that long.

>>3296329
That's some imagination you have there I hope the DM actually makes it Canon.

>>3296336
The dice gods do not want her to live. They keep giving her enemies crits. Plus nobody’s forgotten that she is disgusting since she’s missing her front teeth right? I could have sworn we beat her teeth in then kept her prisons or something. And I don’t remember us doing magic to regrow her teeth.

>>3296357
I knew it would be funny at the very least hahaha.

>>3296298
Use perk. We need to better field doctors.

>>3296357
Well I'll admit to this, this woman needs to stop being such a Damsel in Distress. When we get back, we're going to give her hell. And tell her she's just as good as we are. Are we in agreement.

>>3296385
Sure, if you agree Mildri is best waifu by default because she has all her teeth and we haven’t broken her nose like we did to Selenas. Plus she has magic.

>>3296385
I just realized I put tell instead of until.

>>3296298
Ok, lets check how things went while I slep....holy shit!
We both almost died, glad you guys managed to save her wew

It is in that moment of rage that your opponent makes his greatest error, letting his blow through your guard, his spear glances off your armor as you swipe upward with your glaive carving through his abdomen and up into his chest. Pulling your weapon free you strike the back of the man’s knee, forcing him down. Then with a single slash, you part the warrior’s head from his shoulders and watch as his body twitches and falls into the grass.

Taking a breath you let some of your adrenaline drain away before heading over to check on Selenas. While she was still breathing, she was still unconscious and in bad shape, with two large punctures wounds, one in her abdomen and the other in her chest. Doing what you could, you bind her wounds closed and pick her up carrying her back to the road and your horses. As you make it back onto the road, you find Mildri collecting what looked like small water skins from the fallen swamp warriors. “I’ve got the poi-” Mildri stops mid-sentence as soon as she realizes who you’re carrying “What happened is she alright?”

“She’s alive, one of the swamp warriors gave her some trouble though, she should be fine given so-” As you say those words, Selenas convulses in your arms. Twitching and shaking, Selenas’s breathing becomes ragged and wheezing. Having trouble holding on to her, you set her on the ground.

“What’s wrong with her?” Mildri asks bending down to examine Selenas.

“I don’t know she was fine just a moment ago I don’t know what-” as your eyes catch on the poison skins in Mildri’s arms you realized the problem. “It’s the poison. She was stabbed by one of the swamp people. His weapon must have been poisoned.”

“What do we do, we don’t have an antidote for the poison yet?”

Several options leap to the front of your mind as you scramble for ideas. You could try to brew some of your detox tea, but you’d have to find the ingredients first and even after that, you’d have to light a fire which would paint a rather large target out here at night. You could give her a healing potion and hope that it would fight the poison long enough that the toxin would pass out of her, or you could ride out of here and just hope that she holds on long enough to get back to the Capital.

Finding the herbs isn’t the easiest of feats with the effects of the Owl Sight potion wearing off, but nonetheless you find what you need and head back to Selenas. When you arrive you find that Mildri had finished collecting a decent amount of burnable fire wood. You quickly check Selenas’s condition to find that she had gotten much worse since you’d left. She was sweating profusely, shaking uncontrollably, and fighting for every ounce of air she drew in. Unstoppering a healing potion, you pour the liquid into her mouth which she swallows. The effects are almost immediate, as she settles down and her breathing becomes easier. Having stabilized Selenas, you turn back to making the detox tea. Cutting off, grinding up, and mashing the ingredients, you prepare the herbs while Mildri starts a fire and fetches a small cooking pot from your horse and boils some water.

While you are waiting for water to boil, you can see torch light in the distance and growing closer every second. The tea wasn’t ready yet and it didn’t look like it would be ready by the time whoever was coming would arrive. You had to decide now, whether to try and hold off whoever was coming, or to abandon the tea and get out of there.

We can ask Mildri to give Selenas a potion if Selenas starts to get worse again. But we are down 1 fighter, severely wounded, already used up the saint armor, and Mildri has used up a lot of her magic. Fighting will only lead to a full party wipe.

“Damit,” you mutter under your breath, “Mildri grab the pot we’re going to relocate before they arrive.” Mildri quickly cools the pot and picks it up as you kick out the fire and strap Selenas onto her horse. The ride wasn’t going to be pleasant for her, but it was either this or be captured or killed. Mounting your own horse and taking the reins of Selenas’s, you set off away from your ambush sight. As you slink away you watch the torch light reach your ambush site and stop, then the one large light breaks off into a bunch of smaller lights, one of which starts to follow the path you were taking.

>Try to out ride them with luck you’ll pass further than they’re willing to search.

Ok, we just confirmed that the healing potion retards the poison, we have 2 more, one on Selenas and one on Mildri, then we can take the Maiden ring from her and put the Knight ring on her so we can transfer some health in an emergency.

I say we ride in the direction of the capital, give her healing if needed along the way and when they give up or we arive, whatever comes first, we give her the tea.

If we can't ride very fast because she is strapped to the horse let's put her in front of us in our horse and pull hers along.

You instantly spur your horse to go faster, picking up more and more speed as your horse approaches a full gallop. With Mildri close behind you and Selenas bouncing on the back of her horse next to you, you push ahead hoping to outpace your pursuers.

You manage to stay ahead of your pursuers, but what they lack in speed, they make up for in persistence. You travel what you assume to be half way to the Capital, before your pursuers torch light dies out behind you. Even then you continue further down the road to be sure they won’t see your fire light as you resume making your tea. The ride had not done any favors for Selenas’s condition. She was convulsing again and her breathing sounded worse than ever, you untie her from the saddle and lay her on the ground. While the tea warms, you have Mildri remove Selenas’s armor and weapons so as not to get them dirty when the tea began its work. Carefully scooping up the hot tea into a cup you bring it over to Selenas. She was barely conscious now, and at one whiff of the rather pungent tea Selenas turns her head away from the cup.

“It doesn’t smell nice, it won’t taste nice, it’s going make you feel and do some rather unpleasant things, but this tea going to save your life so open up,” You growl. Selenas reluctantly turns her head back to you and takes a sip of the liquid. She almost immediately spits it out, but restrains herself and swallows the tea. You have her finish the whole cup before you let her rest again. Moments later, you hear Selenas retching as the tea takes effect. While Selenas was purging herself of the toxin, you take stock of your current situation.

You had obtained more poison than you probably need, Selenas was stable now and should be ready to move in a few hours, and the sun was starting breach the horizon bringing an end to this horrible night. The only thing left for you to do now was to get back to the Capital and have the antidote made. Although something is nagging at the back of your mind, while the plans you had made for the assault on the ritual site were all ready and fine, you had never actually seen the site with your own eyes, maybe it would be wise to survey the sight yourself and see if there was anything the scouts didn’t mention in their report?

They are in high alert and we are fucked up, we set up a scout mission before the assault, lets take Selenas back and nurse her to health, maybe find a more pleasant tea in our book. Thank Mildri for today, it was a long night.

>Just head back today’s been rough so far and the last thing you want to do is tempt fate.

Yeah, nah.... We saved Selenas at least two times tonight, first from the heart stab, that almost killed us and then from the poison, let's just take her back and treat that wound.
Funny, it's usually Baldr that almost dies in these things, this is the first time we almost lost a teammate.

You clamp down hard on that nagging thought. You’d survived a rough night, you weren’t about to risk it all just for a look at the enemy camp. It takes a little longer than you expected for the detox potion to wear off on Selenas, but eventually her retching recedes to an acceptable level and you push on for the last leg of your journey.

Tired, sore, and in need of a bath, you enter the Capital, the guards upon recognizing you and your battered state allow you in with no questions asked. The old healer at the hospital is delighted as you hand over several skins of poison “What did you do kill a whole…” his voice drops off as he notices your current condition. “Yes well, I’ll get started on making an antidote it should be ready in a day or two.” The healer leans past you and pointing at Selenas asks “Is she alright?”

“She got stabbed by one of the swamp warriors.” You reply looking back at Selenas who was swaying in the saddle and trying her hardest not to vomit.

“Oh dear,” The healer says walking past you and over to Selenas. “Off the horse young lady I need to take a look at you,” the healer says. In no shape to object Selenas slides off her horse with the healer’s help.. He quickly checks her over making note of her bandaged wounds and sickly complexion, before turning and asking “Did you bandage these wounds?”

“Yes,”

“Hm, not bad, they’re effective, if a little sloppy. I don’t recognize her symptoms, you said she was poisoned? If that’s true she should be dead not puking her guts out. Did you do something to her?”

“I gave her an herbal remedy that’s supposed to rid the body of toxins. It worked on a different poison so I thought why not try it on this one.”

“Ah a purging concoction, they do work, although their effectiveness does vary and the toll on the body is rather extreme. Where did you learn all this from, did you attend a healers hospital, or were you an herbalist son before you became a solider?”

“I learned from watching you healers work on soldiers when I served on the Eleven front, after that well…”

>“I was always interested in the healer’s arts I picked it up as a hobby of sorts.”
>“On the battlefield, there isn’t always a healer by your side to put you back together when you get hurt, so I learned how to do it myself.”
>“I always seem to find myself doing healers work, no matter where I go. I guess I just sort of picked things up as I went along.

We studied it and now we seem to always do it, not that it is bad, we are usually good at it.

>>3300924
Or good enough to keep people from dying long enough to get them to a trained healer.

>>3300821
All the above because they're all true.

“I took a liking to it and picked up a few books on herbalism. After that well, I found that wherever I went people needed a healer’s help so I did what I could for them until we could find an actual healer.”

“Hm, well if you did as good a job on this girl as you did for the other people you’ve treated, I’d say they were in good hands. You did a fine job but your companion will need some additional treatment. Having her body purge the toxin works well for most poisons, but swamp folk poisons like to stick around. I’ll keep her here and make sure that the poison doesn’t flare again and when the antidote is finished, she’ll get the first taste.”

“Alright, but I’ll need her back when you finish that antidote.”

“She should be well by then, now go and get some rest yourself, you look terrible.”

The best way to help Mildri out with her demons is cuddle with her

>>3301175

We did promise to spend more time with her.

Time to sleep, we've spent all night fighting and running

>>3301175
I also wanted to see some trinkets that the merchants have here. Then maybe we can go to the local Black Market. Like we need we need stuff alright. We need that good stuff. Also do you have a question so as far as I can see it we're are a mixture of healer/ Soldier. Tell her if we spend enough time reading medical books as well as our herbal books will we start to get medical modifiers as well.

>>3301216
It was autocorrect fault. Does mistakes I mean they're not mine I swear.

>>3301175

>Rest sounds like just what you need.

Rest first

Tomorrow we can meet the men with Mildri ( maybe she can meet someone nice there), help her out and check on Selenas. A busy day indeed.

>>3301190
No cuddling there m8, our heart is filled already.

>>3301257
Now I'm pretty sure my heart was broken in half, it's leaking. Probably already empty by now

>>3301271
Nope, still filled, it even survived a stab in it to save her.

>>3301279
I thought we survived because we got lucky.

>>3301284
Survived nonetheless, and saved hers and our heart, poetic even, I'm curious to see her reaction

>>3301289
I don't think it's going to be as Grand as you think it is going to be.

>>3301292
I mean look at what we give her to drink.

>>3301257
Lol no, just literal idiots voting for toothless waifu instead of magic waifu.

>>3301284
>>3301289
Let’s be real, it should never have been anywhere near that close. QM just kept rolling 20s and we kept rolling shit for Selenas. I dog on her for being the toothless wonder but she would normally be able to just curb stomp swampy bois.

>>3301292
Probably, but still, curious. Baldr did put his life on the line for her, he certanly still feels for her.
It's too soon to give up I think, and even sooner to go around chasing skirts, I'm not saying it will work out, but I want to keep going at least for a while, Baldr doesn't back down on the first obstacle.

>>3301315
Why go for the toothless wonder who gets stomped by swampy boys and rejected Baldr? Go for the magic one who can freeze enemies and actually likes Baldr.

>>3301333
Thats the thing, he doesn't like her man, we shot her down a day ago.
I mean, where the hell did this mildri thing even came from? We were all on board to give it time and keep trying but all of a sudden you start relentlesly pushing for her.
Not that Mildri is bad or anything, I just don't want to give up at the first obstacle.

>>3301315
Just ignore this guy. He's well-intentioned but it's just too much.
>>3301333

>Confy quest about "not bad guys, no really, we good"
>suddenly waifu wars out of nowhere

I'm voting to chop Baldr's dick off, it's war, shit can happen.
I only want that clinic with the girl as an assistant after we retire.

>>3301363

>Comfy

I don't know about that, you did torture people, turn others into human popsicles and the nearly dying a lot would tend to make things less comfy, but idk what ever makes you snugly.

We've got a bit of a tie here so...

>This’ll be it from me for tonight.

You needed rest and you needed it badly. You’d been up all night fighting and running for your life, sleep sounded like just what you needed and judging from how Mildri looked, she needed some too. Heading back to the inn you take a bath and notice a large bruise on your chest, over where your heart was. That blow you blocked for Selenas must have been some hit to do that to you. Finishing up, you finally lie down on your bed and drift peacefully off to sleep. You awake some hours later, it was just after dusk outside and a large waxing moon was lifting into the sky. You ponder going back to sleep, but you figure you can use this time to catch up on some important things, the most important one being writing that letter to your mother. You hadn’t written to her before because well she couldn’t read, but that wasn’t the only reason.

>Well it’s been a long time since we delved into Baldr’s backstory, but now’s the time to fill in some gaps.

When Baldr left home to join the army, he left his parents on:
>Good terms, he hasn’t had time to write his parents since he joined.
>Bad terms, he’s been afraid to write his parents and dreads meeting them after how they parted.

Baldr joined the army because:
>He wanted to see the world beyond his little village, and do something besides plant crops the rest of his life. It is only later that he would become a hardened and loyal solider of the Empire.
>He felt that it was his duty. Baldr was a loyal citizen of the Empire even before he became a solider
>He got conscripted. While not quite understanding why he was pulled away from this home, Baldr would eventually come to understand his service and its importance to the Empire.

Lastly and not important to Baldr’s backstory, what do you tell your parents:
>Just tell them that you are alive and well.
>Let them know where you’ve been and what you’ve been up to since you left.
>Warn them of the coming battle and that they may never see you again.
Feel free to plug a Write In to any of the prompts above, but for my sanity please format it like this:

>Bad terms
Maybe his parents supported the rebels or fought against the queen somehow, and Baldr joined as a way to keep them from being punished.

>He felt that it was his duty. Baldr was a loyal citizen of the Empire even before he became a solider
>He got conscripted. While not quite understanding why he was pulled away from this home, Baldr would eventually come to understand his service and its importance to the Empire.

Baldr joined the service to protect his family from being punished for being rebels. It would also explain why he was relegated to serving under a shit hobgoblin dungeon despite his valorous actions against the elves, the Empire didn’t truly trusted him at that point.

>Just tell them that you are alive and well.
Baldr is a loyal queensman and a veteran soldier now, he knows how OPSEC works.

>Good terms, he hasn’t had time to write his parents since he joined.


>He got conscripted. While not quite understanding why he was pulled away from this home, Baldr would eventually come to understand his service and its importance to the Empire.


>Warn them of the coming battle and that they may never see you again.

Baldr remembered the day he was conscripted. He was scared and confused, he didn't understand why he was fighting , he didn't understand it when he was first training with his Troop. He didn't understand it when he saw that tragedy the first time he entered the forest. It was only after he started to think about the people around him, about why they they were fighting and dying. He himself just fought out of fear and anger . He didn't want to die and who could blame him . When he was suffering from dysentery and malaria. When he was gutted and accidentally ate a poisonous Apple. And that one time that he nearly got alcohol poisoning because he drank an entire Barrel terrible terrible wine. It was ironic it was when he finally left the front and saw how peaceful is was back home that he realize why he was fighting. Why they were forcing people to fight. It was so That Others May Live freely and peacefully, so they can live and beautiful Blissful ignorance. Baldur missed his parents his brothers and sisters. But back home they were safe, they had a warm fire and then a nice meal every day. You never understood why his grandad had that sort under his bed. But now he knew why. It was so that if one day something terrible would happen, he would be able to protect himself and his family his son, his daughter-in-law, and his grandkids.
