Now where were you? Ah yes, trying to find your brother in the middle of this brewing Secret War deep in the northern woods of Fallavon...

>3 Success

As you press deeper in the south of Mal Country you notice that your Fae shadow has either stopped following you into this territory or it’s become harder to spot with the failing light. Even with the information narrowing down your search, there is still a lot of ground to cover.

If you hadn’t virtually stepped in the signs you’d have likely missed them entirely. Ash and charcoal, hastily covered in leaves. A campfire perhaps, less than a day old. Not much farther you find a notch carved into a tree, to hang something from you suppose. A trap or, a somewhat more mundane explanation, a laundry line. An apple core a dozen metres to the left and you have found the sum total of what you suspect to be the signs of a Bluejay camp. The covered tracks leave you clueless as to exactly how many, but the sheer number of disturbed earth leads you to believe it’s a few dozen. Two-score at the most.

These Bluejays are cunning foresters, to leave so little a trace of their passing. Little wonder, given they must contend with worse than just the Order of Names in their daily lives out here. Free from the lawful authority and security of the Crown, bereft of the protection of the Law of Adam and the spiritual guidance of the church. From the one Bluejay you’ve met, they seem to prefer it that way. Eventually you find something approaching a trail. To be more specific, you ignore the obvious fake-trails meant to misdirect people like yourself and pursue the ground too hard or shifting to leave a trace. A rocky path that would leave no footsteps, a change in direction along a stream with only a half-imprint indicating where they left.

As the sky darkens, you begin to despair that you’re on the right path. Your overthinking tracking, amateurish enough, has led you in a giant circle right back… to... you.

”Eek. Eek.” Courageous Sky’s chirp sets the hair of your neck on edge. They’re close.

Your hand drops to your blade and your companions eye each other and the surrounding woods warily. There is nothing untoward to your eyes, just the sunset flickering through the trees and the chirp of insects. There is not even the deadening silence you’ve grown to keep an ear out for, a sure sign of a predator nearby. But your fledgling woodsman senses are itching. You’ve been out here together for little over a week now and your companions have learnt to trust your instincts when it comes to these sorts of things. You signal for them to back away, hopefully you have time to slip through the closing noose that you can sense but not quite see.

”Ah ah ah.” Too late. It takes you a few seconds to register that the bush at the foot of a tree to your left is actually a man, bow drawn and aimed straight for your neck.


”You’re a long way from your castle, little lordling.” The talking bush stands, and your trust in chest-high shrubbery hits an extraordinary new low as several others move in closer. One pops up out of the leaves just a few metres away, spear levelled with the confidence of a man that knows how to use it. ”How’d you know we was here then?”

One of the other walking bushes jerks a chin at your Griffinhawk perched in the tree above. Two more draw their bows and take aim at your feathered friend, not discounting him as a threat. You gesture for an increasingly alarmed Sir dan Marc and Mikail to keep their hands away from their weapons. Your armour is sturdy but trusting it to hold fast against three or four arrows shot by reputedly some of the finest archers in the land is a bit optimistic.

”Well, well. Don’t see too many of those pretties choosing a stuck-up noble for a pal.” The rebel, for he surely is, whistles in mocking awe at Courageous Sky. You get the impression he’d shrug, if the bow was not drawn so tightly. “No accounting for taste, I ‘spose.”

”Now. It isn’t every day we have an oppressor of the people come looking to pay his respects. What are we to do with you lot? Any suggestions, comrades?” There is a steady flow of rather galling suggestions from the surrounding bandits.

”String ‘em up by their manbits.”

”Chuck ‘em in a ‘Rachnid Nest.”

”What do Griffinhawks taste like?”

”That girlie of his is cute. Let’s keep her.”

”That’s his squire, Dennick. They don’t have girl squires.”

”Meh. Near enough is good enough.”

”All very good suggestions, comrades.” The talking-leader-bush laughs, finding your numerous possible demises endlessly entertaining. ”But we can settle for stripping them down to their bare arses and giving them a good kicking. Maybe that will teach these bluebloods some humility. Or a hanging if it don't. That all depends on how you answer our questions.”

The man’s tone takes a sharper, icier tone. ”Who are you? And why are you following us?”

Little point keeping your identity secret, you suppose. You begin… ”I am Sir Emile Andrei.”

I've not come here to cause you trouble, or act as an agent to the crown. We'd be fools to stumble around in these parts looking to harm the infamous Bluejay band, we're no rangers after all. I come seeking my brother, to ensure he is safe, or at least to take his corpse and bury it with dignity. Please, take me to him and to make this an even trade I can provide information about the forces massing in these woods, information you might be able to use"


We need to be polite here, if we upset these guys they have no reason not to cut us down where we stand. These are the people our brother trusts, lets offer a little and buy a bit of trust ourselves. At the very least it'll get us taken to their camp and we may even leave unmolested. Time to take a chance, time to have some faith.

You can’t really ‘vote down’ a write-in until I’ve put it up as a choice, but it’s pretty clear it didn’t get enough support compared to this Idealist option this time.

You figure men of this ilk prefer you keep your talking short and sweet. ”Are you Sam Wyte? I saw Tom Freeman two days hence. My condolences.”

”Tom is dead then?” Another one of the archer’s speaks up, female from the sound of it. ”What did you Crown bastards do to him?”

”I had no part in what the Reginate or Order of Names did to him. I am not with them, nor those mercenaries at the ruins. All I could offer was a final mercy when we found him.” You’re careful to distinguish yourself from his tormentors. You hold no illusions what affiliation with them might mean for you right now. ”He wanted you to know he told the Orders nothing.”

”Fuck me. Comrade Tom is dead then.” The leader, Sam Wyte you presume, mutters despondently. ”Didn’t think anything could do for the old man, damn it.”

”We don’t know for sure! It’s a trick.” Snaps the woman beside him. From the grim expressions and downcast demeanour Tom Freeman had been popular among the rebels. ”All we have to go on is this lordling’s word, and we well know what that’s worth.”

”For Pit’s sake, Comrade Widow, why would he tell us as much if it weren’t true? No, trickery would be to let us think Tom’s still alive to be rescued.” Sam Wyte lowers his bow and the rest follow suit. Though the female hesitates for a few seconds, apparently you’re her least favourite person right now. ”Is this the same dandy you mentioned, JayJay?”

”Reginae-wept… fuck me, you’re right.” A nearby man you now recognise as Jack Jehova lowers his spear and shakes his head in amazement. "Yeah, it's the same big bastard alright. Didn't hardly recognise him underneath all that gear."

”Andrei, eh? A LONG way from home then.” Sam Wyte scratches his cheek, thinking. ”I suppose your brother will be wanting to see you. We’ll take you, but you will surrender your weapons. We’ll also have you hooded and bound. Or, we fill you full of arrows and shed no tears over it. That’s the short and narrow of it.”

While this would be a smart desicion if we could make it happen, unfortunlately they have us dead to rights and we have no barganing position.

Would they really let us go freely on our own and give us the chance to follow then to their camp or (in their eyes) bring some additional friends of our own?

Like I said before, we should make it very clear that we don't give a shit what they're about and we're not looking to get in their way. We won't have a shred of useful information about them if they don't take us to their camp, so they will have nothing to be suspicious of.

We're a Knight, pussy. Laying down the Law of Adam is part of our job description.

>>3852360
We're also not retarded last I checked. Being a pious, valourous knight does not mean we left our brain at home with the family before setting out. I'm all for picking a fight with no good bandits but picking a fight with a bunch of people who have us surrounded, with probably more hidden not too far away, and whose reputation proceeds them is pretty retarded. Hurr durr I'm a Knight

>>3852360
>Getting yourself killed in the middle of nowhere, protecting nothing is part of our job description.
You're taking a kind of "America spreading freedom" approach on being a knight. Do you see any other knights out here spreading the Law of Adam? The only other knights out here are getting ready to pummel each other over some ruins. So let's calm down the high and mighty nonsense.

Despite everything, speed is of the essence since the queensman's timetable has been moved up and the langlish now know we're here.

I wouldnt be surprised if the order of names and a langlish search party blunder into each other's path while trying to hunt us.

>>3852396

Mostly because if some shit goes down I think being able to run away blindly is better than being all tied up and ready to be captured. Although we're likely fucked either way

Goddamit guys we just did this last thread

Idk about [Write-In] option.
For one we don't have much time assault on ruins might be happening as we speak.
Secondly who would agree to that? I wouldn't, seems suspicious as fuck.
Us escaping from pursuers doesn't mean they can not track us down. So with that option we might actually lead them into trap.

>>3851698
>>”After what I have seen in these woods I can understand your caution but I cannot agree to such terms. Instead, why don’t you go grab my brother and we’ll meet up at another location in a day or so? This way you forgo the risk of me seeing anything of your encampment.” [Write-In]

>>3852549

I would agree the [Write-In] makes no sense to me. Why would the Bluejays ever agree to this ever agree to this? We are completely at their mercy right now with no bargaining chips and they are going put a bag over our head anyway the odds of us seeing anything of their camp are minuscule. Besides isn't the whole point of this to see our brother who they say their bringing us to right this minute why the fuck should we wait any longer than we have to. We came all this way, let's just go see him and see what the hell is going on.

>>3851727
Actually I'll switch to >”I have your word my companions and shall come to no harm?” You put little stake in the promises of rebels against the Crown, but you don’t have a lot of options here. [Idealist]
Because I agree that to the Bluejays it might not seem like we're in any position to negotiate anything.

The only reason that fails are not auto-resulting in combat is because they want you alive. Why did you think this was a good idea? Write-ins can often make things better, but they can also make them worse if you don’t read the situation properly. That said, kudos for being in character I guess. Emile’s pride couldn’t take much more insult.

>2 Success

“After what I have seen in these woods I can understand your caution but I cannot agree to such terms.” The prospect of being taken hostage by outlaw rebels without so much as a fight galls it, and it would only be the latest in a long line of indignities you’ve had to endure out here. Weeks without a decent bed or roof over your head, walking like a mere footman, skirting or outright fleeing from monsters and men alike. Not to mention sneaking about like a common thief. Your patience is wearing thin, and you never had that virtue in much abundance to begin with. Your pride as a man and a noble knight cannot bear one more instance of disgrace. “Instead, why don’t you go grab my brother and we’ll meet up at another location in a day or so? This way you forgo the risk of me seeing anything of your encampment.”

”Why is it that everywhere I go, there is always some noble twat trying to tell me what to do?” The rebel leader sighs, though he lowers he bow as he considers your point. Men like these would know better than most the dangers of the woods, and there is some advantage to be had in not leading you to their base. Even if you didn’t purposefully betray their position, the Orders have demonstrated the lengths they’re willing to go to for any leads in crushing these rebels. ”Fine. See you here in the morning. I’ll leave some men to make sure you don’t get lost, seeing as I trust you royal nobs about as far as I can spit.”

You ignore the man’s jibe and think about what he said. That tells you something in itself. Their camp is close enough to reach by nightfall and return, even closer if he means to delay or give the impression they are farther off.

”Typical bourgeoisie privilege.” The woman with the eyepatch sneers. You wonder if her missing eye affects her aim. ”Comrade, we can still just shoot him.”

”…” Sam Wyte appears to seriously consider your murder for a moment. ”Nah. White Cub would take it ill if I sent his baby brother back to the mud. Right. Jayjay, Widow and Lockheed keep your lot here and watch them. If they cause trouble, shoot ‘em.”

”Right. If they cause trouble.”

”Not liking him isn’t ‘trouble’, Comrade Widow.”

”Damn.” The bloodthirsty revolutionary scowls with genuine disappointment. ”Fine. We’ll make sure the little bluebloods don’t get lost.”

It's an impressive roll but all you can is avoiding the indignity of being the Bluejay Rebel's prisoner. How much you figure that's worth to our haughty knight is up to you.

[2/2]

The suggestion of a campfire is quickly shot down by the rebels, these men are used to rough living and cold nights in the dark as the price of security against their pursuers. Clearly the prefer the threats of night-time predators to being hunted down by the Order of Names. Nightfall gives you advantage so far as ranged weaponry is concerned, but you stay your blade for now. You ruefully admit to Jack Jehova that his services would probably have been better money’s worth than your treacherous guide, even discounting the fact that he knew exactly who you’d be looking for.

”I always did figure him for a slimy one. Too piss-poor a shot to be making a decent living off of hunting.” Apparently ‘JayJay’ knew Craig of Lowgrove by reputation. “Your party wouldn’t be the first expedition he’s led that didn’t return, though the other time had plausible enough reason given the deadly nature of this land. Guess that’s the thing about being the sole survivor, ain’t no one alive to tell folk different from your version.”

Other than that conversation is understandably muted between your party and the rebels, though Comrade Lockheed still eyes your squire as a potential conquest. You resolve to kill him first should things go south. The standoff makes for an uncomfortable camp, you sleep in turns with your companions each taking watch. You doubt these rebels would wrangle their consciences overmuch if they decided to slit your throats and strip your corpses naked.

The sun has barely risen when Sam Wyte and the rest of the rebels return, and in substantially greater numbers than what he left with. Behind him a tall man in battered plate-armour ducks under a brunch and curses. The rising sun casts him as a little more than a silhouette but…

“Is leading me out here at this late hour another one of your jokes, Sam?” That voice… ”I swear by Ursen’s left nut that if this is another… Cain on the Cross… Emmy?!?”

It's important to note that they call him White Cub. That's the name Lord Alderauge used. It wasn't a metaphor but literal. I think delivering the message now would be bad. Damien could very well be infiltrating the bluejay band to use them. He did say he saw a White Cub in a coat of black and gold. I think he was signifying that Damien was still loyal to the crown.

Here I am folks. Tbh I believe we'll probably fail but I'm too proud to surrender to a bunch of dirty rebs without a fight.

>How many days has it been since we went into the Fallavon woods?
This is your 9th day since the start of the expedition.

>>3852881
So we have 21 days to get back to the pilgrims. That's a lot more than I expected. Thanks for the answer, Forgotten.

>>3852887
Depending on the situation, we'll need to help our brother and his band here. Good thing theres a good amount of time.

>>3852902
Imagine if we had something like a wyvern or a pegasus mount. We could cover so much distance in very little time with aerial travel. We won't have to worry about pathfinding that much either.

>>3852810
>calling the bluejays "interesting company" is antagonizing them
and since you have to be rude about it Fuck you cunt

>>3852825
Mate, don't call it dogshit. It was a well written write-in; It just didn't take into account the curcumstances. I think anons just voted for it because we usually get bonuses from write-ins

>>3852825
And yet you voted for it >>3851069

Yeah, and I had changed my mind and regret. I would've voted against it in the recast if I wasn't at work.

Mahah cant wait to tell mum

>>3852934
More like we didn't really know how EXTREME the bluejokes were

I'll be honest, from a meta standpoint I dislike the fact that we even rolled at all for the write in, certain actions should be unfavorable regardless. Rolling well on a poorly thought out decision really teaches the wrong lesson. But its not my decision so whatever

>>3852990
You've been nothing but a belligerent asshole, and you were just proven a hypocrite.

I don't know what the hell you people are smoking, but being disarmed and at the mercy of people who clearly despise us is never a good idea. This had absolutely nothing to do with indignity. Do any of you know what a parley is?

LMAO bitch get the fuck out of here.

Absolute lol at "parley"

>>3852826
>Tinfoil anon
I wish you just call me conspiracy anon, but yes White Cub is a codename or nickname for our brother in whatever he intrigued he involved himself in.

>>3853240
I considered the two names interchangeable but I guess conspiracy anon rolls off the tongue better.

>>3853230
No, insulting everyone makes you a belligerent asshole. Some examples:
>Nigga idgaf what you type. Ain't nothing gonna convince me that dogshit write-in was anything but dogshit and dumb. Save your breath, and be grateful the lucky rolls saved us from that godawful write-in. Go practice mental gymnastics on someone else.
>Great. The terrible time wasting write-in barely made it through.
>LMAO bitch get the fuck out of here.
Absolute lol at "parley"

Also, you're patently a hypocrite because you're insulting people for supporting something that you, yourself, supported.

And yes, it's a parley where we're outmanned, out-armed, and without any information on their hideout. They hold the upper hand, and our brother, who is on their side, is an effective bargaining chip because he certainly would not want us dead. This is a reasonable compromise, far more reasonable than walking into enemy territory with absolutely nothing.

>>3853194
Also I ain't hypocrite ya fuckwit. Just because I voted for a dogshot write-in but changed my mind later without having time to change my vote doesn't mean I'm a hypocrite. I can admit I voted for a trash write-in unlike your bitch ass.

>>3853253
">Great. The terrible time wasting write-in barely made it through."

Your vote played a part in that. You didn't accept responsibility for your part in that when you insulted people. Don't be upset when people call you out.

>fuckwit
>your bitch ass
Again, you are being very belligerent. I think you should take some time to calm down.

>>3853250
I insulted nobody in that greentext unless you're retarded enough to think write-ins hava feelings.

It was literally about dignity. Forgotten himself said it here>>3852782 absolutely nothing was avoided other than that. That write-in was pure feces. Thank fuck the lucky rolls saved us from it.


Absolute LOL at parley again.

>>3853253
Nah retard it's you who needs to chill. Go get your pacifier and sleep.

>>3853262
>>3853272

>>3853265
I disagree with Forgotten's take on it. Avoiding indignity and bossing people around was never the intention of the write-in; avoiding defenselessness and coming to a compromise that still grants the Bluejays a clear upper hand was. Unlike you, however, I didn't call him and everyone who agreed with him a retard doing mental gymnastics.

It is a parley because we are having a meeting between opposing sides on neutral grounds. I find your rebuttal of "absolute lol" and "LOL" unconvincing.

>>3853272
Damn, what a badass.


I'm done. I apologize for contributing to shittery, Forgotten.

>>3853265
And I concede, I shouldn't have included the criticism of the write-in in that list. I stand by everything else.

>>3852910
I'm pretty sure if we ever ride a Wryvern/Dragon who we must absolutely call Asgorga we'll lose any subtlety in exchange for faster than horse travel speed.

>>3853194
My issue with the write In is it has little substantial appeasement, the bluejays hate poncey nobles setting terms and we were in no way in a position to dictate it, it's only through sheer bullshit rolls they actually listened.

In addition they could have easily interpreted our meeting arrangement as trap by queens/kings men and just fucked off or try to kill us.

>>3853250
I don't see where anon has insulted anybody in that text. He just criticised the writein as terrible (which it was) and petty. He didn't start throwing insults until you came and threw insults first.

You seem to be mad and defending a bad vote you supported to save your ego. Relax, your ego means nothing in an anonymous site. You made a bad choice that was mitigated by the unlikely lucky rolls. Move on.

>>3853302
We were not dictating terms, we were proposing a mutually beneficial arrangement. The people with arrows pointed on us dictated their end, which was watching us day and night which ensured that we did not bring any friends to ambush them. Keep in mind, THEY ran into US. We did not run into them and we were clearly unprepared when we first encountered them.

>>3853304
Read his post history. He was clearly hostile (nigga idgaf what you type, go practice mental gymnastics on someone else) and being a hypocrite (he supported the role, accepted no responsibility in its success, and turned on its supporters condescendingly) before I said anything. He was called out on it on by an anon.

I gave him a proportional response and he proceeded to be insulting and mocking while proposing absolutely nothing (unless absolute lol and LOL are considered useful discussion). So I continued to give proportional responses. There's nothing wrong with some shitflinging, but people should be called out on hypocrisy.

Re-reading the writing-in again makes me realize that we were definitely pushing it. It's not unreasonable or crazy for them to accept it because they are working with our brother but we could have reword it far better considering the situation.

>>3853350
That's true. I feel that the people with weapons trained on us reworded it far better, actually, by dictating that we remain in place, away from their super secret base, under constant watch.

>>3853302
Losing subtlety for all that speed seems like a good trade desu.

>>3853328
>Keep in mind, THEY ran into US. We did not run into them

We were literally tracking them by their footprints. Of course we were the ones who ran into them.

>>3853288
I cannot see how that write in did anything but add more fuel to the fire. We were in no position to negotiate and demand anything from them. They had their arrows ready to loose and pointed at us at point blank range. All of this while our pants were down and catched unawares. It would have went straight into a very difficult AV save if it ended up in a fight, because they can't miss at that distance. We would be most likely dead now along with our companions if they wanted to kill us. I honestly can't attribute it's success to anything but very lucky rolls.

The fact that we have gotten this far in the woods and gotten off fairly lightly so far I think deserves this.

>>3852786
> “BROTHER!” You rush in without thought for proper decorum, lifting your sibling up in a crushing embrace. By the Almighty it’s good to see him alive. [Hearty]
We better give this guy a proper great big bear hug.

Because it seems to me we are not a kiddo-tier anime hero who jumps at our bro who the family knows has been doing shady shit all along (or was at least connected to it).

That and their working relation with our brother. Fighting, killing and then risking our brother finding out and sour their relationship is probably more trouble than this. Still, they I not be eager to do is any favors.

>>3852786

That’s overwhelmingly in favour of disregarding all protocol and giving your older brother a bear hug.

I can’t get a proper update up until I get back from work tonight, but in the meantime you guys can discuss which Code skill you wish to unlock. I know I said that I usually only award them if you fulfill a vow but finding your brother has been a big goal for Emile and anons for a while now and the doing of it was no easy feat. You managed to navigate some very dangerous territory with only one instance of combat, nonetheless it is a feat worthy of a knight.

The vote tonight will be for the Code skill selection.

No questions about this.
