Under the escort of Trician, The runaway princess and heir apparent, spoke energetically and at length with their cadre on the road. This deep in the wood, the the air was unsullied and nature thrived quietly.

Trician: Well, this is as far as our escort can take you, down that road and you'll find yourself back to Lucerne

Tsukuyomi : Y-you're not coming with us back to the city ? We would like to have you over for dinner

Trician: Ah , I would love to but er-

Milluda glares.

Trician: WeareactuallyinvolvedinadangerousplotwiththecrownofsuccessioninwhichthemarquismightsecretlybeaVampireandweareworkingslowlytouprootthecityagainstthemfightingacovertwaragainstthoseturnedintoacorruptedbeing !

Tsukoyomi Hime: Ohohohoho ! Dear that's quite the tale Ser Trician, but I see it must have to do with your station, and I won't pry into your business. As usual, we are honoured to have met you and if it permits , I'd like to see you again.

Trician: Ahahahahaha - well th htat's flattering, now off you go, and mind the monsters beyond the brush.

===

The Group has seen little of the monsters this time, and without incident , makes it back to Lucerne where the cadre hands a letter of introduction to Countess Lisbett. What proceeded between the two women of sciences over dinner was an even more intense comparison of their notes about the undead...

1/2

According to Tsukoyomi, their land Hongri is afflicted with a blight of daemonic insects , worse yet, the parasites among them has infected locals corrupting their body beyond the reach of death, while their bodies became host to a parasite that soon turn them to unimaginable terrors. However, unlike the Midians of predatoria, they seem to cause an enriching effect on the land using their victims and allow it to cultivate the land, and seems to act under a unified directive to preserve the island's natural state.

She has then surmised that these worms found their beginnings from the West and has arrived there through exploration, and whatever organism began the process may have been a Guardian of the Land in origin but has gone out of control.

" And so - " Lisbett asked " How fare your people now ? "
=
Tsukoyomi drew a sharp breath.
" They are split. The Imperial Government has formed floating islands to live on and await a day to take back the land of their beginnings, but it has grown to all other outlying islands, and has formed into the Kingdom of Oceania you know today.

Meanwhile, our Divine line still has a seat in Hongri, and is allowed to flourish through offerings to these demons until much recently, now we have angered their bloated god and we seek an answer to their corruption before it claims our people. What large cities remain there, have been keeping the monsters back, but smaller villages are disappearing and soon, so will the food.

The Hellsing's eyes remained half lidded. Reading the somber mood that has come from this self proclaimed Scholar.

" So you have fled the land to escape being Wedded to their God, is that it ? "

Tsukoyomi's eyes widen.

" Ah, I see I hit the spot. But worry not, sister Scholar, for only I alone has surmised this, and our city welcomes those seeking shelter from those parasites with open arms... How many of your subjects await on shore right now ? "

" . . . . 76 remain, family and all, from many villages, and even the castle "

" An interesting predicament. And noble. But again, worry not. Only I could have realized this, from listening to your story alone. But you came at an unfortunate time, for you see you're also walking into an imminent bloodbath here in Lucerne. And so I can't spare the energy to defend your- "

" THEN LET US HELP YOU "

A small smile curls up to the Countess's face. And then a sigh.

" It would seem our guest is tired. Uncrowned, Let her collect her thoughts before she negotiates something she will regret "

At which point her teacher stands up about to shout-
" IF YOU COULD ONLY SEE WHAT SHE HAD TO- "
" <Sensei That is Enough !> " She clasps on his sleeve.
" It's true, in my desperation to seek an answer, I was almost willing to give it up to the first people I could trust.... and I still do. Lady Lisbette has spared us the indignity of begging.

" Tomorrow, let's speak as peers about the proper way to solve this matter " She bows deeply.

" Hmmm in order to collect our funds and people we would needs decide on a meeting point. A wayhouse, or any of the two cities will do. We can safely say that no one knows of our exploits save for the ones who actually saw our faces yesternight, so consider our reputation good for now.

That being said, I'm certain the Finehats will think twice before throttling with us, if thinking is something they can afford to do at all.

Should we go and report back to Lisbett of developments ? Or return to Serpico to continue our assignment ?

" .. . Accidentally conjured a ghost llama, yes, all right, Ghost Hell Adventure "

" I promise there's usually, honestly, less ghosts. Dead Dragons and ghost prison riots aren't parts of the mercenary life. Usually. Often? Mostly!

She drops the waterskin again and pats down the tattered prison shift , hands idly looking for a book that isn't to be found.

Any time, Lockslot. Though wise, you get either the Tomahawk or the Shark Bite, it's one of those "pick or choose" things.

And I don't think you can wear the cloak with a tunic, it's bodyarmor. Good for keeping out the weather though.

If you want either the Tomahawk or the Shark Bite, you''ll have to forge them yourself!

After skirting around the main roads , we arrive back again to Serpico with the check point guards none the wiser about our extended leave. Returning to our lodgings, we found that our Host had been turning people away at the door until that is, they have found us. Sensing danger we kept our hands on our hilts until the situation had become clearer.

" I - I could scarcely believe it, " He said, " I dont know what you did but people - even adventurers have been flocking our door asking about you and The Doves " I had to turn them away because I promised your benefactor that I would keep your whereabouts secretive but some have already rented rooms next to yours and others took lodgings in the wayhouse nearby. Just -what did you do ?? "

" Doves ? " I asked, "You speak of the once infamous Group that sailed the sees freeing what slaves they find and shipping them back home ? "

" So you're a part of them ? " He gasps

We told him that we did not, and are not part of such a pirate gang. I then correct that they had long disappeared when the Great War concluded as it was surmised that they fell Fighting Leviathan on some accounts, or fell from the top of the Tree on others.

Either way, among the group was a Thief, one whom Cicero had called friend - Keys. "T'would seem that your business in Serpico is known by some and most definitely that of your detractors, you know what that means don't you ? Many here are holding their breath, waiting to see if the Noose around your necks will tighten first - or you Take on the Group known as the Collectors. Many here are seeking you out, wishing to free those close to them by Bondsmen but this puts you in a pickle with your initial goal does it not - well I have a proposition if you'll hear this simple Keysmith out "

" I have been eyeing a certain registrar in the Notary's Guild, and intend to make my move tonight. A certain friend of mines suggested I look you up for a similar endeavour but after hearing of your tale - that I've even heard of it - might get in the way of my venture.

So I propose this; pay me to get your quarry, and I'll make quiet work of both our aims. In exchange , you can commit your business to dealing with these... Collectors,a task far more suited for your fighting outfit. And Merchant Gram's talents.

Merchant Gram: Indeed. And it's because of your involvement that my plans have sped up considerably. Before last night, no one would ever think to throw a stone in their path, much less a fighting outfit. And live to write about it. It takes a certain freedom to operate past the yoke of money and worldly things and a dash of madness to be the type of Adventurer people aspired to be. But those times have been dashed by the war now, and everyone is looking out only for their own. Should you go through this plan even I can offer some insight on my former business associates.

>>3481414
Jester, you can vouch for this smith, correct? Or were you two less acquainted than I recalled?

>>3481927
I find the plan to be strong in broad strokes. But I may be able to help with some of the details. These Collectors - they are a slaver guild? Much like the Fine Hats - and this is important - mayhap even in competition? Where are their haunts, and where ought we engage them?

And another important question - if we were to make a fuss in a part of town removed from the location of tonight's labor, that should help you? I may be able to arrange quite the commotion.

>Officially release slaves in case that hadn't been indicated by my earlier post

" Oh no no " Surmised the Merchant.
" To understand the Collectors, one must understand the Golden Bond"
" For you see, what once started as a Loan in good faith back before the war became a cross that every financier had to bear until the debt became so crushing that they all but opted out of it. That is when the Master of Bonds entreated to our reclusive King that should these debts be satisfied, and our lands regain its former prosperity at no cost to his own Royal Guard -- Mercenaries foreign and domestic be silvered to carry out these collections.

And that is where you get the Collectors, for you see what once started out as the Heart of Mercenarydom with hired warriors and retired knights given leave to hunt down these noble /word breakers/ , turned into a rather lucrative empire of human propriety. If you ask me, I think the debt paid long ago with the interest seemingly invented to fit the tale of their honorific arrests and seizures.

And it is this same Golden Debt that drives us Magnates who inherited some ancient will to be able to hire, arm and armour every man and woman in Serpico. It could also be said these Finehats too inherited the Golden bond and are too looking for a proxy to pass it on to, and on and on until everyone is indebted to each other than there is money to go around.

Now , can you guess what would happen if the master of your bonds was to be fortuitously removed by a passing wind ?

Keys: All debts to him will be freed, but you're about to tell me that it's not that simple.

Gram: Indeed not, my dear accomplice, for you see the person who would otherwise kill said individual, inherits not only their spoils but their bonds both to and from. For they carry on their bond, a Dragon's Will. And so , faced with such a prospect not only would one be hard pressed to give up their bonds, they will simply become another Collector.

Keys: And so you need the Notary's registrar.

Gram: And erase the whole lot.

Keys: And should we simply attempt to destroy the registrar and the Guild itself ?

Gram: Then the Guildmaster writes a new one from memory.

Keys: And if he dies -

Gram: Then you remove the heart of Serpico and we revert back to the days of A Hundred Kings Too Many, perhaps more. . . and we die.

Keys: So we just steal the book ,

Gram: We smash the collector's legs and press them with a debt too big they cannot possibly maintain it

Keys: And - And then what.

Gram: Guess. And if you get it right, I'll give you an Army and a gold shy of 40.

=Security Detail. Final =
Returning to the Black Forest was met with the Tailwinds of Fate, And the Princess was in as high in Spirits, though she would not show it to Trician.

" To find the common link between the accursed Wyrm and the Demon we must first find a host that was once human and was turned , " She starts , " your Countess tells me that such people exist as Midians and you currently fight a war with them, "

Trician this time was virtually alone, escorted only by Milluda and Doglass. He pensively carved an apple to peel as the Princess from the East spoke to him. " Aye," He says, " And you are hoping that this endeavour will give you insight on fighting an enemy that plagues your people as well ?"

" Yes, but before we talk brass tacks about securing a place for your people I would need to know if - "

Sensei: Princess -

" I heard. "

A silence surrounded the wood once more. This same silence that followed the Prince and Princess on their ride home. But this time the tension in the air redoubled and the idea welled up at the back of everyone's mind. That they were not alone these past few days.

Trician Bites his apple.

" We are thrice armed warriors, and there are 10 of us. Steel yourselve- "

Almost immediately, the canopies above them darken and the ground explodes with garbed assassins whose mouths expose a number of fangs. Doglass's star smashes one in the mouth, as does Jo who covers for the archers who retaliates quickly with shots that seemingly curved in the air to meet them only to then strike the horror behind the first. 4 or 5 would strike at Milluda , drawing blood, but she would answer their barbed strikes with a single deafening swing that shattered what iron strips protected their persons and proceeded to behead the other.

Now dear reader, if you are still paying attention a man called Sensei, whose hands were trained by years of warfare with the 99 Arms assassination clan would defend her Divinity from more than 4 blades as he commanded the fairer amongst the group to seek the light.

The monk then gave a small chant and then with ease ran up the length of a tree , being chased by two assassins only to smash open the tangled treetops that would dissipate their attackers. In dust.

At this the remaining 3 attempted to flee, only to be shot in the back by poisoned bolts.

A quick look at the corpses under the shade and it was obvious, these were Hongrin Assassins sent from the Mainland to hunt them down and yet, the bite on their necks and the rosaries around their wrists alluded to a darker deal made recently.

" The 99 Arms, " grumbled the seasoned Bushin , " I thought their Clan defeated during the War... "

Trician: It seems they found a new sponsor in these dark times.

He bites an apple and removes the Silver arrow from one. As soon as the creature stirred his boot pressed a titanic weight on the monster that rendered them nigh immobile. " Perhaps this one could accelerate your research, yes ? "

Qsitina thought for a moment before responding, "The money isn't mine to say what to do with. It should probably be left-"

>>3483826
"Joy!," she said jumping at the older woman's sudden appearance. At the offer of a room for a night, however, her look of surprise quickly turned to one of elation. "Oh Joy," Qsitina said embracing the other woman in a hug, "You are truly a dear friend! I had begun to fear I would be sleeping in the streets! The bedding back at the convent was humble of course, so I am rather used to less soft bedding then our lodgings have had of late. The streets of Serpico on the other hand do not seem very humble. There is just so much light and-" As she chattered Qsitina's weary feet lead her, and by extension Joy, to the nearest inn where she might at last gain some much needed rest. "Are those new shoes?"


>Spend 1s of Joy's money on lodging

>>3483904

"Apologies for the interruption."

>>3484234

"I err-" But it was too late, Joy who after that whole /thing/ that happened with the Serial Killer was under the impression that Qsitina didn't like her, was feeling a little overwhelmed from the sudden barrage of conversation.

Joy was very confused and grabbed onto the one piece of conversation that drifted by.

"Yes they are new shoes, I got them when I graduated from, learning how to entertain." Joy made a solemn vow that she would never ever unironically refer to herself as a clown. "Padded soles and fairly water tight, good for lots of moving and acrobatics Joy would recommend if you do not might the /garish/ colour scheme."

>>3478001
>>3481418
After returning to Serpico, Syugou has a look of urgency on his face. He bows to Strygid, requesting leave to accomplish a few tasks. "Strygid-dono, the boar I carved it's meat needs preserved or will spoil before we get to properly enjoy it. Please excuse me to get salt and prepare for the next mission you need me for. Though I've also heard tale of a lycan that needs dealt with. If you'd give me leave, I will attempt to claim it's head in your name."
>>3479108
>>3481636
>>3483904
Once given leave to at least acquire salt for the [8 Boar Meat] he had harvested during the rescue, Syugou heads off into Serpico. Eventually finding himself searching for Tovani or Alswith, the Quartermasters of the Uncrowned, so as to possibly bargain with them about sharing his haul with the Company in exchange for them footing the bill on the salt needed to preserve it. The large man, likely looming near one of them as soon as he found one of the ladies. Though his gruff exterior, ferocious combat style, and sober seriousness belied the truth to his playful and joking nature. The alcohol he imbibed whenever possible revealing such to any in his vicinity while Syugou was drunk.
But he was without booze at this time and likely seemed to be much as he looked, a haggard taciturn nomad.

>>3484234
>>3484358
Upon Qsitina's enthusiastic reaction to Joy's appearance, Alswith took the opportunity to slip away. Later, Alswith came to a conclusion as to what could be done with the silver..

When prone to terror at the horror of it all, breathe, states the journal master Rashinen left behind. The world is vast, and confusing, and no one knows how it works, so remind yourself that even your terror is but one process in a chaotic churn of possibility. Tovani tries, fights slipping hope with thoughts of friends and punches mental ghosts with inner pictures of Tabatha and others. Focus. Remind yourself you're still alive.

>>3483149
Remind yourself: The large shouting man thinks wrestling giant dragon-ghosts is a fun past time. Be polite.

Tovani nods quickly, and then, fighting the urge to cough and the other, quieter urge to brush off the issue entire for the prospect of turning companionship to suspicion, peels off a glove with hands that only shake a little. She wants to run away, or curl up in a ball, or not be here at all but then, when you start, finish. She traces small patches of cracked skin like burnt bark, warped tendrils like network of moss patches across the back of her hand.

" I'm dying. "

Watch. Wait for the flinch, the hush, the warding sign against infection, and when none manifest immediately reconsider: this large shouting man thinks wrestling ghost-dragons is fun and willingly went to a slaving pit to fight for an almost lost cause. Not a bad soul to trust.

" Yeah yeah, I know - but faster. I'd like to know how not to. It's a Dragonrot stain, curse. If it's not traitors, thirst, terror or too many thrills it'll be this.

Would you visit the lady, then? And ask? It could be a knightly quest, I'll get an apron, or, no, that's not it, I mean, the thing? I think its a small patch of cloth, you tie it to a lance though I think you'd need a lance also and-- or... That would... "

Tovani stumbles because the tears make it annoyingly hard to enunciate precisely, and, anyway, staring at her hands after two days of march, its hard to deny that the little, tiny, insignificant patches are nonetheless just that much larger than before, so what good is it all anyway? She puts her gloves back on, gets it right the third time. Drops a gold coin on the nearby table, watches it spin in an erratic circle.

" S-sorry, Arx. Little frayed at the edges. You happen to know where someone with a dire need for localised oblivion can score a wine bottle? And--"

>Give 1 Gold to Arx

>>3484429
Remind yourself: the large shouting man thinks wrestling giant boars of prodigious strength is a fun past time. Be polite. Restrain the urge to ask why he carries sacks of fatty meat, if Strygid needs it for some new depth of chemical exploration or if the world is ever going to stop getting stranger.

"Salt? Yes. Actually, Syugou, I was about to round up a local merchant and find some. Why don't you come along? I need extra hands. How much salt do you need?"

>>3484663
Syugou smiled as Tovani seemed willing to aid his need for salt. A little labor was well worth preserving the choice cuts of boar he'd gotten. So prior to following her, the large man bows and pats one of his sacks of meat.
"Thank you Tovani-chan, I carved eight decent portions of meat from the beast felled where you were held. So eighty oz should salt the lot of it, I worry even with making a feast for the company that the lot of it would rot without. And I know enough who prefer salt-pork with their booze over just pork!"
The disheveled behemoth grins down at Tovani, his shaggy hair and beard quite possibly making the gesture seem rather frightening instead of comforting.

>>3481927
>>3484704

Agreed. We will pay for this scheme - however, keysmith, to keep everyone honest, I will ask the Merchant Gram to hold our portion of your reward in escrow until completion. I imagine similarly he has held the final portions of your payment until the job is complete.

Long short story: Reply here to claim 7 Silver payout. (This goes for everyone.)

The Royal Armory as it CURRENTLY STANDS is to the left. There may be updates later, so if you aren't in a spending mood now, hold on to your money for things to change.

You don't need to buy new gear to get better gear! The FORGE>>3481297 involves material to fashion weapons a class knows, or upgrading weapons you have. Here's some relevant:

== Additional ==
Remember to get some FOOD and some REST to recover LOST HP/SP.

Quite simple, meet with the Goldjoy's vaunted task force on the fields south known as the Unkinned lands. I'll *inform* them of your whereabouts there and you will deal an all-out blow on that weak knee'd family, driving down the Collector's ... influence, almost to the point that they can no longer maintain their own books.

Now this all hinges on your ability to stage such a resistance and if my money is right, It always bets on the underdog.

Keys: How do I know you're not simply going to make away with the money ?

Gram: Because the current Collectors themselves owe me a sum that not even their deaths can repay.

Arx looks at the woman before him. She did seem greener than when they last spoke. As others rushed in and out of the office he knew what it'd mean to the company, nay, his new home, if she were lost.
"Aye! I will visit the lady post haste. I swore to never fail you again and I'm beholden to that vow. A knight is more than his arms and armor!"

>Arx visits the lady of the mist
"Fair maiden! I have been through much since we last met. Nearly as much an ordeal as before! Know I would want nothing more but to give you this gold for another sweet embrace, however I have been given a task and will see it done!"

"An important college of mine has been poisoned, but not via earthly means but a ethereal rot! A seed grows in her that was bestowed by a former dragon! Gwahahaha! Unbelievable?

Alswith woke at the sound of someone entering the storage and, rubbing the crust from her eyes, she unlocked the supply chest she was sleeping in and climbed out with a yawn. "Oh, hello, Evergreen," she greeted, eyeing the ailing Ritter with curiosity. He was looking more and more pallid with each passing day.

Thinking over the request, she went into the back and picked out some items from inventory. "I'm not sure which sword you checked in but we have a long sword. Let me check with Tovani when she gets back in. Here's a suit of mail. ..and this is the best shield I could find for your line of work," she said placing a Tower Shield on the counter, "unless you prefer something smaller. We have some bucklers often used by Squires."

Syugou remained silent staying not far behind Tovani as the woman wandered about her duties as Quartermaster. His mind silently begrudging agreeing to help her out in return for salt, as he hadn't seen an oz yet but they'd spent several hours doing odds and ends and outfitting various members of the Uncrowned. Though watching the vambie beast corpse get handed over to another Nomad did grind him some, the large man eyeing over the beast corpse with scrutiny.
Still, Syugou finally speaks, "Ahem. Tovani-chan. My boar is two days old and spoiling further as we speak. Salt would benefit us all. As I said for what I seek merely 80 oz (8 Units) would suffice."

" Ah! You could'ave said! Just. . . Like you actually did, say that. An hour ago? Two hours?
Here hold this

I got distracted finding these midians fangs and this oversized novelty bear with murder claws - hold this - and also, we need a blade for Evergreen, a new suit of armor, some extra arrows for Wertrar and we should find Arx some undergarmets - hold these - and while we're on the prowl for accoutrements, we should look into getting Cicero some proper make-up colours, Owl a new belt, Tabatha some whetstones - hold this - Strygid needs these clean bottles and -- don't topple over, I'll just squeeze past you here, there, easy, don't push, okay, yeah right there - we might want to try and find some oilpots and I think Simone has the claimed right for the fallen Groll, who died honourably enough that we should find the time for a burial ritual? Hold these also but don't spill the chemicals

Now let's get you your salt. I think I know just the spot, there's this Ignyllian store down by the seaside. You'll know it by the large man outside with the axe scars. If the deal goes sour, I trust you can take ... three? Four? thugs? You'll know its gone witch tits up if I start screaming"

The Shape seethed. Just as the bandleader was about to fall, he had produced a bandage from beneath his cloak and bound his torn artery.

He had gotten away.

The Shape had come upon Fernand speaking to the Ragged One that they had met in the armory, along with a Dark Eyed one that looked similar to the one they had come across in the previous battle. Their songs were low and hushed, with subtle peaks of conspiracy hanging upon every note. The Shape drew closer, just in time to make out the lyrics 'Goldjoy' and 'all-out blow.'

The Shape's fist clenched, straining the threads of his gloves.

He had gotten away, but not for long.

The Shape hurried out into the underbelly of Serpico. A glance at the silvery glow of his knives told him they needed sharpening again. There was also someone The Shape wished to see.
