Last Night. Home.

The small dark-haired girl was startled by the sound of the chapel door opening. Roselyn Andrei slipped through the door, her voice kept to a whisper due to the late hour. ”Maryla? My goodness what are you doing in here? It’s near midnight!”

”I’m praying. Duh.” The mercurial and wild-tempered middle child of Lord Andrei rolls her eyes at her big sister’s stupid question.

”Praying for what?” The eldest daughter of Lord Andrei hissed, annoyed at being woken up. Roselyn was the oldest sibling and had hence been charged with being constantly annoyed by, and unfairly responsible for, no less than three younger idiot brothers and four younger bratty sisters. She was not happy to have her sleep disturbed by one of them stumbling past her room in the dark. If Maryla was praying for another pony…

”I’m praying for Damien and Emile to be safe.”

”I- Oh Maryla…” Thoughts of berating little Maryla vanished as Roselyn hugged her sister close. ”Your brothers are big and strong and brave. They’re going to come back home safe and sound, don’t worry. I swear it.”

”You’re not allowed to swear in church.”

”That’s not what… okay, no swearing.” Roselyn conceded, but only because she was taught not to make promises she couldn’t be sure she’d keep. Unless there was a political advantage to be gained, of course. ”Let’s pray together shall we?”

Maryla eyes her sister suspiciously, but relents with a world-weariness that only a long-suffering child can summon ”…if you must. But I started earlier, so mine will reach them first.”

Roselyn knew better than to offer correction on how prayers worked just then as she took a knee beside her in sister in the dimly lit Castle Andrei chapel. After all, who could really say? The studious Halina would probably have a theological answer if asked, but she was a bit of a bore these days. The important thing was that the prayer was said in the first place, wasn’t it?

Turnegan, 8th Day of Ovrimun, 883 A.C.E. – Lord Duncan’s Tourney, Day of the Joust

>1 Success
>Sir Andrei remains in his saddle, and even breaks his lance against the Marquis a few times. But the Marquis shatters lance after lance into his opponent mercilessly, claiming victory.
>The Marquis Caspian Fallavon emerges victorious in the Joust Grand Final

You manage to hit your opponent more often than not, shattering a full lance on two of the tilts. But each time, without fail, the Marquis’ lance explodes into tiny pieces against you. Each time, it’s all you can do to not be sent spinning out of your saddle into the dust showered in splinters. He’s damn accurate the Marquis, you’ll give him that.

By some miracle you remain ahorse for the final tilt, your whole left side feels like a blacksmith has been trying to fix your armour with you still in it. You feel a sinking dread as the tip of your lance clips the rim of his shoulder even as his own lands straight in the centre of your shield.

KA-KRAK!

By the Pit that smarts. The tip of your lance breaks against your opponent as well, but the winner is clear.

”Not bad for an amateur. I almost had to work for that one. Still, it pays to remember…” The Marquis approaches you ahorse, flipping up his visor and shooting you a winning smile as his victory is announced to raucous cheers. ”Should you come at the Marquis, you best not miss.”

He punches your shoulder jovially. That same shoulder where he’s been slamming lance after lance into with pinpoint precision. You offer a pained groan in response. There is rapturous applause as the Marquis circles the jousting lane again, arms raised in triumph and an easy confidence in his smile as he basks in the crowds adulation. You thought you might have had him for a moment there, but from the look on his face you’d think the outcome was never in doubt for a moment.

You gave a good account of yourself, by your own reckoning. Toppling the favourite contestant, a most accomplished and well-equipped jouster, would have been a true upset. Still, you comfort yourself with the runner-up prize and polite applause even as the Marquis graciously accepts the wreath of victory and a handsome prize. It is a simple olive wreath, likely the latest in a long line for the Marquis, whereas the Summer Tourney has one cast from solid gold and another from silver. Lord Duncan’s prize does at least come with an award fit to purchase a purebred horse and then some. Not that he’d choose one over his monster of a Mustang steed. Your own prize is far more humble, but still amounts to a tidy sum.

”You fought well for your lady.” The Marquis says later, coming to sit next to you as your one squire and competes with his own four servants to remove your respective armours. ”The Mademoiselle Sinclair should be well pleased with your efforts.”

”My thanks, Your Honour.” You hope you got that right, Marquis is not a common title. ”You know the Maid Sinclair?”

”Ah well, my father says the Sinclairs are nothing but trouble. He prefers his dogs leashed and under the table, not sniffing for scraps atop it. Still, they’re not all bad. Or bad-looking.”

”Doubtless your own lady will be cheered by your victory, Your Honour”

“Ah, what a fox that woman is. Not easy to please, that one. But then the women that are easy to please are hardly worth it, are they?” He undoes the favour from his gauntlet, a laced silk handkerchief in chequered gold and black. The initials F.R. plain in red at the bottom corner.

You must admit, your curiosity is piqued. ”I couldn’t say, Your Honour. Who is this fair lady?”

”The beautiful and enrapturing Lady Frida Vancewell. Sole daughter and now heiress to her father’s lands. Quite a catch, I might say.” You cannot begin to imagine your expression, but the Marquis Fallavon seems to notice the recognition. ”Oh, you know the name?”

Being there doesn't mean we were the one who brought him to justice. He should be more suspicious of Sir Rabe, knowing the two families' hate for eachother. And he wouldn't have brought her up in such a way if he knew we were responsible for the murder of Vancewell.

We go with him and see what happens. It can come up if it comes up, I'm just saying we probably shouldn't be the one to do it when we're talking about ladies and romancing and shit. Also, we're not really omitting anything, since her brother hasn't come up.

I choose this exactly because I hope that we get to see this Frida.

>>3650059
Yeah, I noticed that too.

Still, Vancewell didn't seem to recognize the name Andrei at all - which means he either didn't know the full name of Damien or he didn't know him at all. So perhaps it's this Frida who had some contacts with Damien.

And for all the political jocking of House Vancewell, they're a minor House of Montbrun - catching the fancy of a heir to a Duchy is a miracle. We can use the knowledge of Cuntwell's trial to make her talk if necessary - that scandal could be enough to push away the Marquis and/or have other interested parties pounce on House Vancewell.

we'll likely do less damage by admiting it now, technically telling the truth, lying or changing the subject will likely give them more paint to tar our reputation with later

Not only that but we might assess his reaction and disposition to our involment. Frida Vancewell is now the sole heiress thanks to our actions making her far more attractive as a wife than before.

This quest is all about th'appele of a knight;
Sir Andre of the Howling North is really one of the largest characters in any quest currently running. He is human and has yet the strength
of a bear.

This quest just takes me to the limit because of its fine writing; excellence in character; and the writing of the gods

I wish I could be the man who writes such a quest! This one has knights, action, and romaine, and plenty of jousting

Give it a try!

>>3650734
Sworn to Valour is the best quest currently running. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong. Check it out, it's got a LOT of content, and it's a damn good adventure.
The game has a new difficulty setting which may make it more competitive; this is a good thing.
New items are now more efficient.
Added a new "Rift" spell which allows you to teleport while moving.
The item system was updated with a lot of new items, and there are a few items which are not on the new maps; don't worry about the ones that weren't changed, just don't bother trying to get them.
When flying, the game is now playable in an alt-tab, unlike if you were flying directly from the main menu!
New locations in the game are added such as the 'Lighthouse' which is located in the 'Falkreath' region, the 'Westeros' region in the Dragonborn DLC or the 'Ulfric's Tower' in the Frostcrag DLC. The main map is now the 'Nerys' region and the expansions are the 'Ungolvin and Sancre Tor' expansions (there are a ton), 'Hircine's Watch' which is on Mount Morytania/Vault Caius/Auric Basin/Dread

So? Why do we care what this poof thinks? Are we courting him? If he has a problem with justice then he doesn't deserve his title. If anything, he should be happy that we just helped make his girl that much more valuable by getting rid of the male heir.

>>3650761
Why are you coming out the gate swinging at me when all I pointed out was that we are effectively culpiable for Vancewells death particularly when we did practically everything in our power short of lying to see that he faced Justice?

I already don't like this guy much, since he blatantly insulted the Lady whose favour we bear. That, and he knew what he was doing when he punched our shoulder.

Best to just stay off his radar . . . and keep him on ours. He might be thankful we rid him of the previous heir, and he might desire to lock in his position as a suitor by bringing the one responsible for Frida's brother dying down.

He could be a good contact, AFTER he gets the inheritance.

>>3652260
Although I note, given her brother's proclivities, Frida herself may be happier in private than sad in public about his untimely death.

Untimely, I say, because he should have been strangled at birth.

“I can’t say I’ve ever had the pleasure of making her acquaintance, Your Honour.” You respond numbly, caution curbing your tongue. You’re speaking to the heir to the Fallavon Duchy seat, essentially a prince in his own right. Upsetting him could make your life difficult indeed, it would behove you to tread lightly.

”As pale as moonlight, full lips that can break or heal my heart with their frowns or smiles.” The Duke’s son sighs dreamily. ”And no slouch in the courtroom battlegrounds, I tell you! Wits sharp as a razor and a tongue to match!”

”I do not doubt it for a moment.” Your head is racing and it’s probably not the blood rushing to the bruises that’s making you feel dizzy. ”Please excuse me, Your Honour. I will see you at the banquet tonight.”

You didn’t detect any guile in the Marquis’ conversation, but detecting guile was never your strong suit. That was your sisters’ forte, doubtless they could discern whether this arrangement is an unhappy coincidence or part of something entirely more sinister. Sir Hast Vancewell was a worm of a man, more hired blade with a pedigree than a knight, and the world is in your opinion well rid of him. Perhaps he was considered a preening snake even by his own blood, but family is family. You very much doubt your involvement in his trial and execution has endeared you to this Lady Frida Vancewell at all.

You have a little time before tonight’s banquet, though you’ll be restraining yourself to a few drinks as the melee tomorrow awaits. You’re on your way to speak with your friend Sir Rabe, knowing he has a personal vendetta against the Vancewells. Perhaps he can tell you what to expect. You are unfortunately distracted by a chance overhearing of the petty grumblings of the Pascae knight you bested earlier in the Joust semi-finals.

The disgruntled Sir Hewitt is stewing in the main thoroughfare towards Castle Duncan’s gatehouse. His back is turned to you as he pouts with his lapdogs and crony friends bought with money. Temper, Emile, temper… You did penance just last month for losing your patience and you’re probably being overly harsh on the wealthy knight. Your sister Halina did warn you not to let your prejudices against Pascae Merchants stretch to cover every soul from that Duchy but still, can’t he accept his defeat gracefully? He does not appear to have quite gotten over that ruling which saw you pull ahead in the tilts, and he’s not being shy in complaining about it to a handful of sympathetic ears.

You’re about ready to dismiss him as a sore loser, you have bigger things to worry about and you still need to find Sir Rabe before dinner. But Sir Hewitt’s next words cross a line…

”Psh, they’re letting any riff-raff compete these days. I had the better horse, the better stance and that first splinter definitely counted.” If Sir Hewitt sees the telling glances of the those courtiers aware of your approach, he pays them no heed. ”The herald only ruled against me to curry favour with a fellow country bumpkin, I tell you. That Romani gypsy got through to the finals through pure luck.”

Some of the details of the challenges between knights were discussed at the Trial of Sir Vancewell, but the general gist is that any knight can issue a challenge to another but the terms of said challenge rest with the challenged rather than the challenger (if said knight does not wish to be disgraced). Such terms might include the time and location, whether you fight with armour, or on foot or ahorse, or whether it is to first blood or death. Though some might consider you a dick for electing the latter as redress for all but the gravest of insults. Being one giving insult also carries some risk, as goading someone to a challenge can be viewed just as dimly depending on the local authority (the equivalent of starting a fight at a house party). One specific church law exemption that may apply to Sir Andrei is that challenges are not to be issued to Holy Knights. Arguably this can be extended to include knights on pilgrimage, but that’s less clear cut. They are also illegal when the banners have been called, as then the Rule of War is in effect.

As much as he deserves a walloping, we shouldn't be the one to escalate. Just like earlier, when I said something about not souring the mood of the event by bringing up an execution, we should remain as graceful as possible.

No one likes a scene, and this seems playful and might defuse the situation. Or he'll take it as passive-aggressive and challenge us, which works just as well because we won't be the asshole.

No. Emile has a temper which was displayed on Vancewell but he's not an underhanded prankster.

I like to think of Emile as someone who really hates knights being un-knightly. It lights a fire in his eyes.

>>3653461
That's a nice way of putting it. Generally very easygoing, but he has consistently shown only the highest disdain for dishonor and pettiness.

Sir Andrei is spitting fire. I'll update later today with the results. In the meantime, as the challenged (I'm assuming you accept, since you all seem keen for it), you get to dictate the terms of the duel.

===============================

>(1) Time & Location
Generally short time-frame, but some extreme examples have listed 1 year delay. Usually due to injury etc. Similar limits apply to location. There is some leeway but naming difficult conditions reflects poorly on the challenged and well on the challenger.

>(2) On-foot or ahorse

>(3) Arms
Must list two. Eg: 'sword & shield' or 'lance & blade'.

>(4) Name a second.
This person will fight in your stead if you are a no-show or injured.

>(5) Victory condition
First Blood, Yield or To the Death.

=======================

Backhanding my hoes to hard. Pimpin' ain't easy.

I've probably included too many options for a clear indication of majority here. As none of these are by themselves essential I'll offer DC rolls for anons to get their pick.

Brawling with your bare hands is ignoble, so I will lock in sword and shield as the arms choice. However, I do think that selecting Hannibal as your second is hilarious enough to warrant inclusion. Be mindful though, if you are too injured from the melee to participate that can backfire. No issue if it occurs prior to the melee.

I actually didn’t expect combat this early on, but the players demand satisfaction! I actually do not have time to run a combat today, or even tomorrow. I will commit to combat starting at 18:00 Tuesday 16th AEST. That means we will probably be covering any fall-out and the squire’s melee through the week and save the main melee for the weekend.

>”Bad luck on the jousting line, Sir Hewitt. Perhaps you should stick to clipping coppers as you seem to have little enough skill with steel" [Fling shit]
>3 Success
>+1 Double Success

Any thoughts of restrained politeness vanish upon hearing Sir Hewitt’s insolent words. You plant a hand on the offending Pascae knight’s shoulder more heavily than necessary, grabbing his attention.

”Bad luck on the jousting line, Sir Hewitt.” Your smile is all teeth and no friendliness. ”Perhaps you should stick to clipping coppers as you seem to have little enough skill with steel.”

”Oof.” A courtier within earshot gasps, while another beside him barely suppresses a snort of surprised laughter.

”You- you dare?!?” Sir Hewitt’s eyes bulge as he twists around and fumbles with his sheathed blade. The expressions on the House Duncan men-at-arms manning the gate switched from bemusement to alarm as he draws the weapon. You step back with your hand on the hilt of your own blade, well aware that the two of you are dressed for a banquet not battle.

”Oi! Uh… no naked steel without milord’s say so!” The Duncan guardsman is clearly torn between interfering with Lord Duncan’s guests and keeping control of the situation. These provincial Fallavon soldiers appear more rustic and ill-equipped compared to the men-at-arms of other Duchies. They show little of the professional appearance and discipline of the Aubrey units, nor the religious fervour and grim resolution of the Romaine defenders. Considering that they could well lose their hands or even lives for interfering with a noble in Fallavon, you doubt they will intervene.

The confrontation at the gatehouse has drawn a crowd as only scandal can. Sir Rory Duncan, the honoured groom, lends the guardsman’s demands some authority. ”What is the meaning of this?”

”Sir Marco Hewitt was merely offering challenge on a matter of honour.” Your eyes do not waver from your red-faced opponent, steel in your voice. ”I accept of course. Here and now, afoot with sword and shield. Until the lesser man yields.”

”Bloody… *sigh* very well. Sir Hewitt, do you have a second in attendance?” If Sir Hewitt noticed the annoyance in Sir Duncan’s voice directed at him it doesn’t show.

”Sir Jean Sinclair.” The Pascae knight hisses through his teeth, his blade beginning to dip.

”Very well. Sir Andrei?”

”Sir Karlaus Rabe stands with me.” You struggle to keep the elation out of your voice, appearing for all the world as the reasonable and unjustly aggrieved party. Truthfully though, you’re looking forward to the duel with glee.

Plots, intrigue and skulduggery. You’re sick to death of it, of trying to figuring out who wants what in this deadly game of courtroom politics. It feels good to call someone out, not because of any ulterior motives or the higher calling of seeing justice done, but just because they have offered you an excuse to display your dislike of them in no uncertain terms. One knight to another, calling them out and having steel speak for you. There’s a spring in your step as you turn your back on the fuming Sir Hewitt and speak to your squire. ”Mikail, fetch my armour and shield. Quick as you can.”

You have every intention of teaching this Pascae shekel-grubber a lesson in true nobility the hard way. And you mean to do so all before dinner gets cold.

[3/3]

By the time both of the duellists are in their armour again a large crowd has gathered to watch, the spectacle of the tournament competition now laced with the drama of a personal feud and perhaps blood being spilt in earnest.

Sir Hewitt stands across from you, adorned with intricate full-plate armour of the best sort money can buy. He wields a buckler rather than a heater shield, and his long bastard-sword has some reach on your own. All in all the two of you are evenly matched, his equipment putting him on nearly and even standing with your strength and skill. Nearly, but not quite. Another thing money just can’t buy.

And yet we voted as a group not to do that.

Why is there so much hate over a looted buff item? This may just be the dumbest thing that's been argued over.

>>3657749
Ok I am not going to troll you into an argument since we had enough of that last time but I think it's a bit ridiculous to destroy a boon given to us by the QM out of paranoia. And if it IS a cursed item at least that's a plot hook

>>3657752
Considering other contestants are literally using fae runes, it is a little overly paranoid to be wary about a trinket that can be bought at the market. But we cant necessarily say that for certain, since we don't actually have that much knowledge about magic items or the fae, doesn't long term use make you sterile or something?

>>3657759
Not that we know of in character

(But yes)

>>3657761
Alright.

By the way, I just thought of something, we(as in the players) weren't aware of fae runes when we discussed the trinket, right? IMO the fact that they are used readily without fear(atleast in this region) changes the dynamic of the trinket, I feel that it has a pretty high chance of just being loot.

>>3657749
Actually this is probably best situation to test it since we can yield and to stop the duel.

>>3657752
>Why is there so much hate over a looted buff item?
Because it's a Fae charm pulled off a Fae-created Wodenaki. Considering Andrei's experience with the undead, it's reasonable to want to have it checked out first.
>>3657758
>>3657774
You generally want to check for curses before using an unknown item, not after, especially considering Andrei's leading pilgrims right now and delays might cause trouble down the line.
>>3657759
There's this too, but see the first response. Undead are serious business.

>>3657777
As a side note, we've been calling it undead but isnt it just a construct? sort of like a golem made of wood and other bits. We can assume the Fae have a connection with the Deadmen, but is there a reason I'm forgetting for why we're assuming the wodenaki is undead?

>>3657777
Surely we know that in parts of the land these sorts of charms are widely used. And we've seen they are for sale in the markets here. I feel that's enough to consider that it may just be a charm, not something spooky and cursed. Especially considering we found it on the creature and not in the creature.

I'm not saying we can't get someone to give it a look but I don't see any problem in using it. That's just me though

>>3657784
It's referred to as undead. From #9:
>You face a terrible Wodenaki, a foul creation of the Fae fashioned in their most desperate hours against the encroachment of man during the War of Names. This undead abomination predates even the Doom of Ardenne, a weapon still killing long after the war it was made for ended.
As far as Andrei knows, it's undead. How it gets to that point is a question and the charm may tell something. Or it may just be a trinket.
>>3657786
Cantôn is a big place. There have been instances where Andrei's regional knowledge has proven not to be up to snuff. Better safe than sorry.

Looking at the mechanics, it's probably harmless and Andrei will be told as much. Doubly so when considering the free re-roll for Lady's Favor. But I'm a superstitious sort.

I'm thinking we should dispose of the Lucky Charms after this. If children hear that we have it, they'll chase us to the ends of the earth.

You guys know forgotten is just feeding off your paranoia

Damien

>>3659125
Lenna of course

>>3659125
>>Does Sir Emile Andrei have a favourite sibling?
Damien is an stubborn ass, but we always admire his confidence and determination.

Roselyn is an overbearing witch if we ever saw one, but probably knows best out of all our sibling. We rarer die than letting her know we think that.

Anastazja has her head on the clouds most of the time but is the most caring for others out of the lot.

Halina is a smart-ass, but we often wish we listen more carefully to her endless lectures.

Maryla is the most like us, and is endless source of all our troubles and most of our laughter.

Lenna and Aleksy are overly attach and stick to us like glue if given the chance, but we love being the big brother for once.

So no, no favorite since they are all terrible and we actually miss them all.

>>3659264
Supporting
>That feel when Emile is the favored son

>>3659264
This is great. Supporting.

>>3659264
Sure.

Clearly this person understands how families are supposed to work.

>>3660011
I have two sister, one brother, 14 cousins and 10 uncles and aunts and we use to gather every single Sunday for close to a decade and a half. Fuck, I miss those days.

damn straight I want to feel conflicted about whatever he's wrapped up in

Yeah this is really good

Balls deep, okay here we go.

>>3663937
Will lucky charm stack with the various other types of charms or is it only one or the other.

>>3663945
Not of the same sort, but you could cover yourself in the varieties hoping one works. Like that guy from the Mummy.

The gubmint isn’t letting me post from my PC. Getting a workaround up. My brother is HACKERMAN.

"In Lord Duncan's name the aggrieved parties shall settle all issues with one another in a test of arms. Sir Sinclair, has Sir Emile Andrei accepted Sir Marco Hewitt's challenge?"

"He has." Sir Jean Sinclair nods sharply, watching you with a cool predatory gaze like a wolf assessing an injured deer.

"Sir Rabe, has Sir Hewitt satisfied Sir Andrei's conditions of challenge?"

"He has." Your friend admits begrudgingly, resisting the urge to spit his response. The fancy Pascae knight is everything that the gruff and dour Montbrun knight despises in soft southerners.

"This contest is considered to put to rest all standing quarrels and matters of honour." Sir Rory Duncan's voice carries clearly, eyeing both duelists with severity as he stands in the centre of a makeshift circle just outside the gatehouse. The only indication of a 'marker' for the border of the circle is the thronging crowd of commonfolk that can't wait to see knights fight for real. Atop the Castle Duncan parapets someone has had the ingenious idea to move the meal outside and follow those nobles interested in a bit of spectacle during dinner. "Any further insult, violent dispute or otherwise continuation of the feud between the concerned gentleman whilst on these lands will be considered an insult against His Lordship and as such the offender will be punished accordingly."

"Understood." You can imagine Sir Hewitt's narrowed eyes behind his ornate helm styled after the sea.

"Of course." Your appearance is somewhat plain in comparison to the gilded Pascae knight, but your opponent would be an utter fool to underestimate you because of your humble appearance twice in one day.

"..." Sir Duncan glances at his father on the walls, the man raises a canter of wine and nods. "So be it."

No trumpets or drums signal the start of this dangerous contest. The duel begins as soon as Sir Duncan retreats outside the circle, you and Sir Hewitt immediately circling each other and drawing closer...

Yeah I got no idea about that.

Forgotten, please check your DC. its wrong.

>Combat = +17DC [Healthy +5DC, Castle-forged Bastard-sword +5DC, Full-Plate Harness +15DC, Buckler +5DC, Enraged -3DC, Restraint -5DC]

5+5+15+5-5-3 = 22

Hence 30-22=8

Our DC to beat should be 58.
