Many years from now. Not far from home.

“You know dear, that man has a habit o’ forgetting to finish the story about the ruins.” The innkeep’s wife huffed, hands on hip. “When do you think he’ll be getting on back? I’ve half a mind to remind him that’s he’s gone and skipped ahead again.”

The innkeep had more than half a clue as to why the wandering troubadour preferred to skip over the details of that particular tale, and he wasn’t about to press the man on it. One doesn’t remain happily married for over two decades by saying as much, of course, so the innkeep grunted in vague agreement. ”As ye say, m’love. As ye say.”

His wife huffed again, catching his evasiveness. ”Oh please don’t “m’love” me, just answer the question.”

”You know how the old rascal is, going to an’ fro round these parts.” The innkeep remained steadfastly engrossed on the cup he was cleaning, apparently determined to have it the cleanest cup in the duchy. ”I’ve a strong notion he’ll be back in due course, m’love. I’d make a fair wager on that.”

”Orin! You told me your gambling days were behind you…” A warning tone creeps in at the end of the sentence.

”Right y’are, m’love.” The innkeep’s burly whiskers do well to hid the grin twitching at his cheeks. ”You’ve gone and made an honest man out o’ me.”

”Hmph, I should hope so. You didn’t make it easy...”

Fenegan, 21st Day of Novrimun, 883 A.C.E. – The Bandit Camp, after sunset

> “Round them up and get ready to move out. We make for Darbyshire.” You will likely reach the town’s gates in the wee hours of the morning. The Lord of Darbyshire will be grateful to you for removing this threat, surely. [Hearty]
> “That level of knowledge means a deeper involvement. I will not let such men escape punishment. Question them separately. If their stories do not match up, then we shall take harsher methods of extracting the truth.” [Idealist]
Gain +1 Step on the Path of Cain [4]
Gain +1 Step on the Path of Thorns [4]

You had assumed you older brother was somewhat soft, his empathy for rebels and dissidents a worrying omen for his future reign as Lord of House Andrei. So it comes as some surprise that he is the one to suggest putting the two bandits connected to slavers to the question. You do not disagree, having already promised one bandit their freedom for information you cannot stomach letting these men who profited from the flesh-trade to walk free. Still, you had not expected it from him.

Your brother’s hatred of those that prey on the weak is self-evident, and apparently applies equally to draconian nobles or lowly scum like this lot. As a nation founded from liberated slaves, a disgust for those that own or traffic in chained flesh is a matter-of-course for any Cantôn-loving knight. Perhaps it is more pronounced in your home Duchy, Romaine, where the coastal communities are more frequently reminded each generation with the occasional slaver raid. ’The Cathagi come to Pascae to trade, and Romaine to raid.’ Or so the saying goes.

You remember your brother’s threatening words to the bandit prisoner, stoking his dagger in an overturned fire in the camp. It is not a fitting task for a future Lord, but given you are supposed to be unaware of his identity you can hardly object in front of the others without something seeming amiss.

“Do you know why they bring men like you to me? Men who won’t talk? They could bring you to any one of these hard bastards, but the bring you to me. Why? It’s because, to get those answers… I go… the extra mile.” As far as you know your brother has never done this before in his etired life, but he certainly gives off the impression of a seasoned tortured.

“The smart ones, they talk straight away. But the stupid ones…” You remember for a long time how close that red-hot dagger tip was to the sweating outlaw’s face. “They suffer for no reason, and then talk anyway.”

The bandit is smart enough to talk.

Judging from the sharp cry of pain elicited from the far side of the clearing, the other one is not so quick to co-operate. But it doesn’t take long. Their description of their slaver contact is disturbingly similar to the one Craig of Lowgrove shared. Dark oiled hair, with a moustache in the Langlish style. They called him ‘Caspio’, though you doubt a connected criminal would use their real name when making deals with this rabble. He spoke like a commoner, but dressed like a gent. Though that is not much of a lead in foreign-obssessed Port Bounty, but even a fake name is something to start with. The morbidly so-called ‘Sunken Sailor’ tavern by the docks was their usual meeting point. If you’re willing to risk asking dangerous sorts of questions in that lowlife dugout, you could potentially get to the root of this sordid slave trafficking circle.

There are some inconsistencies, but in the end their stories largely match up and they are bound up with the rest of the prisoners. There are eight prisoners in all, you let the vagabond women and children go free, some of the prisoners look dejected and understanding of their inevitable fate whiles others appear frantic with their eyes skirting all about. You order a sharp watch kept on them as you lead your armed force further west to the township of Darbyshire.

You have a long night’s march ahead of you.

"Did you practice that speech?" You ask your brother. "Or just come up with it on the spot?"

“It worked, didn’t it?” The Green Knight mutters, hanging at the back of the column with you. You glance around, no sign of the Fae girl. But then again, you didn’t actually expect to spot her in this light.

“So what should we do about this slaver friend of theirs? Depending on this late-year weather it could be days, even weeks, before we find a ship.” Your brother shrugs at your wary look. “I’m just saying, nothing wrong with rooting out a few no good slavers while we’re there. Better than sitting on our arses and stuffing ourselves with seafood for breakfast, lunch and supper.”

We'd have scant jurisdiction inside Port Bounty. The law in the Duchy of Pascae doesn't work like the law in the Duchy of Motte-Fallavon does. Best to report what we have learned to the local authorities. Taking things into our own hands would make us a vigilante.

“When we arrive at Port Bounty we will report our findings to the local authorities. They will handle this.” Your brother’s derisive snort indicates his opinion on how the local authorities will fare… “ Perhaps the Ordo Praetor as well, if internal corruption is suspected.”

"Really? The Praetors?"

The ensuing 'discussion' is a welcome distraction from the eerie night's march. You don’t really think that the Pascae nobility is so greedy as to turn a blind eye to slavers, but the money-grubbing copper-clipper classes likely have no qualms if coin is to be made. It is a good excuse to make some introductions with the Ordo Praetor, at least. An ancient order of lawgivers, their duty to learn the laws of each respective Duchy, and Church Law, and enforce it as necessary was a role that fascinated you even as a squire. You were never much one for philosophical arguments, as your sisters would constantly remind you. But the one area you held your own was in the debates of law, both church and secular. Your sisters would win those arguments in the end, they always had to, but they usually had to sidestep the legalities argument with flowery theories of the meaning and purpose of law. Or insult you until you lost your temper, which apparently counts as a win for them as well. You’ve never met a Praetor, or even seen one. This would be a grand opportunity to find out more about how they are structured and what their role entails.

As darkness settles in, only thin torchlight and the Full Sister guiding you way, all thoughts of pleasant Fallavon scenery and picturesque nature walks are banished from your mind. Even now, surrounded by half-a-dozen armoured knights, you find your eyes scanning over every bush and ear’s twitching at every snapped twig. You do not fear a counter-attack from the brigands, they haven’t the stomach for it. But you are reminded that, despite this being a part of the Kingsroad, this is only tenuously the realm of man in the late hours.
When the orb of the sun passes over the horizon, the Fallavon lord’s hold on this land seems fragile indeed. When Jess the Kid returns to the main column, slinking from the undergrowth with her hand on her dirk and her neck craned over her shoulder, you can’t help but steer Hannibal away from that side of the road as you try to stop your heart beating thunderously.

The Fae outcast never takes her eyes off of the left side of the Kingsroad, something… some thing lurks just out of sight in the bush there. You don’t know how big it is, or for how long it follows you before slinking off, but your hand doesn’t leave your sword hilt until you reach Darbyshire.

Senedag, 22nd Day of Novrimun, 883 A.C.E. – Outskirts of Darbyshire, past-midnight

”That’s far enough now. Stay right where you are.” A warning voice calls out from the wooden palisade that marks the edge of town, you can see figures moving in the torchlight. The speaker’s voice has an accent that marks him as not from Fallavon. "Awful late for armed men to be riding about. State your business."

“I am Sir Emile Andrei. We are freshly returned from a victorious battle against lowly bandits, east of here. My men need rest, our horses feed and what prisoners we took will be submitted to your Lord’s judgement.” There is no response from the wall. You persevere, determined not to undergo the indignity of sleeping up against the palisade walls. Not with that thing out there. “A convoy of pilgrims should have arrived here before last-light, the would have brought word of us. We are expected.”

You had half-expected the sentries on watch at the Darbyshire gates to take some convincing to let your party in at this hour, but you had certainly not expected to be confronted by a score-strong troop of men-at-arms. They are led by three armoured knights, the foremost one bearing a red shield and black chevron, he continues to address your party.

“Yes, the good Sisters said as much.” You feel a flash of annoyance at the man’s sceptic tone. ”Well if that’s the case, I’m sure My Lord will have them all dancing to the hangman’s jig come the morn. But how do I know you are truly who you say you are? It may be best that you billet out here until the dawn…”

“Sir Heinrich, the pilgrims inside have our bedding and most of the supplies.” Brother Gaspard motions his steed forward with an unhealthy cough. “You would not really have an old man bunk out in the cold grass with a warm fire and hot meal just out of reach?”

The red knight, Sir Heinrich, ignores you and peers out to where the voice came from. “Gaspard, is that you? Come out of the dark where I can see your face, you fossil.”

“I see the passing months have revealed no improvement in your manners, whippersnapper.” The old Knights Comitas rasps with his approach, but his mocking tone implies a familiarity that draws the sting out of the insult.

“Lot’s of strange folk coming and going of late. Can’t be too careful these days.” The black-haired red knight frowns at the rest of your party, clearly not happy with letting half-a-dozen armed men into the town at this late hour. Finally, he shrugs. “Well if geriatrics from the holy orders are taking up with disguised bandits then the whole kingdom really has gone to shit. Come on in.”

The wooden palisade is at last opened, though you notice the men-at-arms still seem on edge until the signature white cloaks of the Comitas are seen in the torchlight. You suspect the banditry in these parts is perhaps worse than a single rogue encampment, for them to ask

“My Lord is at rest. As is almost everyone else at these ungodly hour.” Sir Heinrich removes his helm, greeting you at the palisade gates. “I’d rather not wake him up. We can sort out this rabble after everyone has had a good night’s rest.”

The man is only a few years your senior, though the faint scares on his face indicate he is not without experience. His name and accent imply he originates from Montbrun, likely an enterprising younger son that has secured a comfortable station for himself as the senior knight in the local Lord’s retinue.

“No need.” Deciding to see to the horses yourself, you turn to your squire. “Mikail, you will go to the bailiff with this lot under escort. The captured scout remains our charge, but the rest are His Lordship’s concern.”

”Understood, m’lord!” Your squire practically bristles with pride at his new charge, leading the prisoners away under escort with his head held high.

“Right, let’s get you stabled, eh?” You pat Hannibal on the neck, ruffling his man fondly. The browncoat stallion barely responds. He is tired, none-the-worse for the battle but a night’s ride out in the dark must have played merry with his nerves. “You’ve done well, my four legged friend. Behave yourself and I might just let you have this apple core.”

Your noble steed perks up at that, pressing at your arm as you take a greedy bite from the apple in your hand. It’s fresh, plucked from a tree just outside of town. Tastes like… victory.

Senedag, 22nd Day of Novrimun, 883 A.C.E. –Darbyshire, Morning

It seems the local Lord wasted no time passing out the sentence. You push forward through the small crowd as they lead the last condemned man up.

Frontier Fallavon justice is swift indeed, already the early risers about town are gathered to watch the bandits dangle one by one from the scaffold in the town square. Some of them weep and beg for mercy, others stare and shiver like lambs at the butcher’s pen. Their fate is all the same.

“What are you doing?” You snap, recognising the last figure they are leading up to the scaffold as the captured scout . “I gave explicit orders for that man to be pardoned!”

”Oh-er… well, His Lordship said…” The man-at-arms holding the captive sports a black eye and recently broken nose. He also fails to give any satisfactory answer to your question. When you relieve him and his two cronies of the captive he sheepishly relents, unwilling to confront a noble over the issue.

“Mikail! Blast his hide, where is that boy? One simple job…” You spot your bleary-eyed hireling in the street and call him over. “Orin! Where is Mikail?”

The man stutters, clearly unprepared for your stern consideration. ”I-I I dunno, m’lord, I jus got done checkin’ the horses an’…”

“Enough.” You wave off your underling’s dithering and shove the relieved brigand into his care. “Take this man, and keep him under watch with the pilgrims. Tell Brother Rousseau that this man, criminal he may be, is yet under my protection. Fetch Sir dan Marc, tell him I need him at once. And tell him to come armed.”

You are about to order Orin to fetch your brother as well when the Green Knight steps forward in the crowd. “Br-ahem, Sir Andrei, what is going on?”

“Trouble.” You mutter, wondering if it is wise to go back and fetch your armour and shield. For now you only have your sword slung about your belt. No, Mikail might be in genuine trouble. Or he’s about to get the beating of his life if he is napping somewhere. The Green Knight is armed and armoured, that will have to do.

You find Mikail in the Darbyshire gaol, as expected. But within a cell instead of guarding one. The goalkeeper, just newly come to the shift, apologetically explains that he can’t let your squire out without the Lord or Sir Norwache’s express say-so. Apparently there was some confrontation with the men-at-arms on execution duty, they didn’t know the scout was exempt from the sentence. Bullies, more like. With only a Lord’s sigil to distinguish them from the bandits they hung. You barely hear a word of it, your hands clenched on the bars as your squire explains his predicament through split lips.

“M’sorry m’lord. I tried to tell ‘em, but they was saying the Lord wanted ‘em all hung up for all t’see.” Your squire did not fare well against three grown men, unskilled men-at-arms though they may be. Mikail’s eye and left side of his face has already begun to swell up and turn a different shade, they appear to have beaten him severely before throwing him in the cell. “I tried t’stop ‘em, but there were ‘free of ‘em n’… well they was bigger n’ me.”

Judging from the black eye of the man-at-arms you scolded before, Mikail didn’t do down without a fight. And if he hadn’t stalled them, they would likely have hung the captured scout before you intervened. You don’t care one whit for the bandit himself, but having inadvertently broken your promise of clemency to the wretch would have been an embarrassment to say the least. Your squire prevented that, a deed you will not soon forget.

”Cain on the Cross, lad.” Your brother mutters sympathetically. “Why didn’t you just tell them to wake us up?”

“I did! But they told me to go fetch m’lord instead and… well I was worried they’d have done for him ‘fore I got back. So I said ‘No’ and then one of ‘em shoved me so…” Your squire grumbles, wincing as he licks his bloody lip. “Well I din’t mean to break ‘is nose.”

”And that is where negotiations broke down?” Sir dan Marc comments wryly as he enters, decked in breastplate. He proffers a wineflask through the bars. “Here, boy. Drink up. Fisticuffs is thirsty work.”

”Release him. At once!” You bark at the goalkeep who quails under your furious attention.

”M’lord, I’m sorry but I can’t! Lord Fitchener would have my head, if Sir Norwache didn’t gut me first!” The old gaolkeep begs your forgiveness.

You’re in no mood to beat up old men just doing their job. No, your anger is best directed elsewhere.

Fuck. We do the Lordship a favour, and his men don't just assault our squire but they gang up on him too? Fuck that noise. Either he gives us compensation or satisfaction.

BY satisfaction I mean either he lets us lash the three men, or he can face us in a duel.

Give his lordship the benefit of the doubt, someone down the chain of command might have gotten lazy and fuck up.

>>4165158
That's kind of what's occurring. Sir Norwache would be the immediate supervisor of the guard. He would also be the one to dispense any justice that may be due to them.
Going straight to the Lord is akin to being a Karen.

>>4165158
>>4165292
This.

Also, as the aggrieved party, he should come to us here where we can display Mikhails injuries openly instead of embarassing the Lord in his own hall.

We can raise a big fuss and give Norwache the chance to show his sincerity by either allowing us to punish the men who beat our squire, or he can face us in a duel.

The result of our duel against Sinclair should have hit the rumor mill from the pilgrims arriving early. That, plus our reputation from the Tourney should give him pause if he wants to face us in honorable combat.

>>4165401

That and shaming Sir Norwache in front of his lord by suggesting he is less than capable of managing his men. Don't go making unnecessary enemies, and Norwache has been at least cautiously amiable to us on our singular encounter.

You would prefer to have Mikail released immediately, but staging a jailbreak will likely only add to your growing list of unfriendly faces in Fallavon. Not wishing to make an enemy of every House between here and Romaine, you resolve to mind your temper and show some patience while you explain the misunderstanding and secure your squire’s release.

Lord Edmund Fitchener is a man well past his prime, greying hair and flabby jowls explained in part by his hearty breakfast. He manages to insert the nature of his old injury into the first minute of conversation. His left leg is entirely missing from below the knee, a battle wound earned gloriously against Fae raiders during the War of Borders. Judging from Sir Norwache’s bored expression, the local bandit problems and Lord Fitchener’s prodigious weight… he seems to have done little else but sit in his hall and stuff his face in the decades since.

When you voice your concerns regarding Mikail, the Lord of Darbyshire seems shocked. Standing guard behind him and to the right, Sir Norwache’s stern frown only deepens.

“Those idiots should have known better, I’ll have them dangle with the very vagrants they hung this morning!” Lord Fitchener is at least equally upset as yourself, if only about the embarrassment to himself rather than the harm caused to Mikail. “And after all you’ve done for this town, Sir Andrei… striking a noble, I mean really…”

“My squire is not of noble-blood.” You correct the Lord, if only to spare to thoughtless bullies the noose rather than the whip. “The son of my father’s most trusted sergeant-at-arms.”

”Oh, a peasant whelp? What’s all the fuss about then?” The Lord seems genuinely puzzled, shaking his head in befuddlement as a maid places another plate of honeyed bacon on the table. “I didn’t realise knights in Romaine took commoners on as apprentices. How charitable.”

“I wouldn’t call it charity, the boy works hard.” Your words are at odds with your own attitude when you left home a few months ago, Father had to practically twist your arm into taking on a common-born squire. If you weren’t so angry now you might have even dwelled on the irony of your change of heart.

Lord Kitchener doesn’t seem to be paying much attention. The waft of freshly cooked bacon and eggs does little to dissuade your ire.

“Of course, of course. Lowborn waifs, those that aren’t thieving little rascals, tend to try their best for their betters when given half a chance, eh?” Lord Fitchener gives you an overly familiar wink between bites. “Well, we need not let the squabbling of a few peasants escalate and ruin our breakfast, now do we? Like pigs in a muck they are. Hahahaha, I jest, I jest! We will release the boy in a bit, of course. Come, join me. This honeyed bacon is just exquisite!”

You try to reign in your bubbling temper, Lord Kitchener not being intentionally insulting. Just obliviously obtuse. The Lord of Darbyshire seems oblivious to your gritted teeth and furrowed brows, though Sir Norwache and Sir dan Marc are both beginning to tense themselves as they notice how angry you are. Mother would say… something wise and patient, you’re sure. Father would probably listen to what Mother had to say, if he didn’t throw the proffered plate back in this crippled fool’s face himself.

This way if he says a word against us, he's criticizing all Men who once started out slaves. Including Adam and Caine.

Blasphemy is a pretty serious business, I don't think he wants to get caught out blaspheming when Pilgrims and Knights Comitas and Priests are all up in his town.

Supporting. I like the backhanded compliment that lord Kitchner has the potential to rise himself, fat fuck. Are we still going with the plan to let him take some credit for getting rid of the bandits? Because if so, we should have him play up working with the peasant pilgrims as part of it. Start some change within Fallavon. After all, what's more impressive beating bandits with Knights or beating them with Faithful peasants?

I wholeheartedly believe that Emile has been through enough shit to start standing up for himself. He's a playmaker; politics isn't his thing because his balls are too big and get in the way of subterfuge. He has helped chain an ancient evil, he has won the loyalty of a fae wildling and earned the respect of the Comitas - he was singled out by an Angel of the Almighty. Why should he give a fuck about some nobody cripple who fought in a war decades ago and hasn't done anything since?

Double Fail = The culprits escape with a slap on the wrist.
0 = Insult to Injury. Your temper gets the best of you and the situation results in Mikail being charged with assaulting the Lord’s men-at-arms, a whippable offence.
1 = You secure you squire’s release, but not without burning your bridges here. Another Fallavon fief to add to your growing list of detractors.
2 = Mikail is released immediately. In light of your service to the town, relations with Lord Fitchener are not soured.
3 = Lord Fitchener is aghast at the implied insult to his guests and his own behaviour. He does his best to make amends, offering compensation.
Double Pass = The culprits are punished with a whipping.

>>4168065
Ominous

>>4168069
Can we take the whipping like a champ?

Hey Forgotten I just wanna say fuck you and your not so subtle railroading. Apparently we conveniently didn't tell Sir Norwache or the lord that the scout was our protected charge as soon as we entered this town. More bullshit avoidable drama caused by QM faggotry.

Is the dice actually random or is there some pattern algorithm to it that can be predicted?

>>4168098
The dice isnt random. It is pseudo-random. It is determined by a hidden numerical seed and the timestamp of when the dice is rolled. That means anons who roll at the same time only seconds away from each other will get very similar numbers. That's why quick rolling is a very bad idea.

>>4168106
So I should wait for some time if someone rolls a bad roll but I should roll right away after them if they get a good roll?

>>4168090
In my defence, I did give you the option to insist on waking the Lord up.

That Sir Norwache failed to inform the duty men-at-arms of the pardoned scout is an oversight on his end, not yours.

>>4168115
Yes. If an anon gets a good roll, then you should quick roll mere seconds after their own roll since the numbers will be very close. If an anon gets a shit roll, then you should wait and not quick roll since your numbers will be close.

>>4168090
Anons could have voted to just say "oh alright, don't forget to liberate my squire by the way" but no, they couldn't resist the epic GOTCHA writein (you included)

Seriously, I don't post often but that is so fucking stupid I had to.

If the dice are based on the server clocks, they get the initial input for the semi random number generator based on inputs that change by the milisecond. This is basic CS. Its the reason that the dice I just rolled are pseudorandom.

Mother will tell you to grin and bear it, and even foster an alliance if you can. Father would view the man with distaste, but likely break bread with him all the same in the interest of releasing his man without fuss. But the Angel would not have you ignore this Lord's negligence.

“All noble sons of Cantôn started out as slaves, *Lord* Fitchener. Those of low birth may live their whole lives humbly, but exceptional men have always risen. Whether that be from slaves to the Foe to free men, commoners to Knighthood, or village Lords to higher ranks. Only the Almighty truly stands alone at the peak." Lord Fitchener stares at you slack-jawed, finally understanding the seriousness of your tone.

“Who are you to lecture me on a man’s place in the pecking order?” The man’s double chin wobbles with indignation. “You come to my hall and throw a tantrum about some scuffle between my men and your idiot boy, and lecture me?”

“That ‘boy’ is my squire and through the efforts of his father and himself he has won the position of knight-in-training of House Andrei. He is to be considered an extension of myself and treated with the self-same respect. I demand an apology.” You grind out the words through gritted teeth. You are reaching the end of your tether, this fat Lordling’s lack of respect to your squire is grating on you.

“An apology? From me?!” Lord Fitchener splutters with outrage, pointing a greasy finger at you. “You- you! You ingrate! I’ll have that boy flogged and dragged through the streets, how do you like that? Hah, he attacked MY men, didn’t he Sir Norwache? Tell him!”

“My Lord, it appears to have been an error on m-“ The red-black knight mutters apologetically, wincing as his Lord launches into another tirade.

“He did! He attacked them and so I can have the little whelp whipped raw!” The Lord of Darbyshire slams a pudgy hand on the table, his face turning red. “This is my town! That is the law! I am the Lord here! Me!”

You breathe in deep, restraining yourself from throttling the piggish Lord where he sits. Sir dan Marc stiffens, standing beside you to guard your flank. Sir Norwache waves back two sergeant-at-arms who have stepped forward. The black-red knight still regards you with far more scrutiny than he did last night, but his countenance is not hostile. To the contrary, his expression could be described as considerate. But his hand is still on the hilt of his weapon.

Under ancient church law, a presiding lord cannot actually order other nobles to prosecute a trial by combat, they have to volunteer on their own volition. You have already broken one prestigious Fallavon knight in single combat and severely beaten another, Lord Kitchener’s own retinue of knights will doubtless be less impressive. On the other hand, there are less direct ways of subverting the sentence, a public protest by the pilgrims could convince the Lord to exercise discretion and waive the sentence.

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

>“Then I demand trial by combat. Mikail of Andryski is a Cantônian of good character and guiltless of these trumped up charges. Woe to the man who would step forward to say otherwise, for they face the righteous ire of Sir Emile Andrei.” Any knightly vassal of Lord Kitchener’s is sure to think twice on challenging you after hearing the rumours. [Haughty]

>“Poor treatment for a squire who just yesterday fought against bandits plaguing *your* lands. We will see what the pilgrims and Knights Comitas think of this.” You will rely on public outrage to pressure the Lord into commuting the sentence. [Hearty]

>“…So be it. Enjoy your breakfast, Your Lordship.” You leave, with the intention of breaking Mikail out of gaol before the sentence can be carried out. In a convoy of two-score pilgrims and then some, it will not be hard for him to blend in with the crowd. [Idealist]

Although I'm open to forcing him to give Emile the whipping instead. Kinda nervous about the public opinion option spiralling out of control.

Just out of curiosity, since people seem upset since the rolls didn't go well - how much impact did the write in have on the outcome? It didn't affect the DC, so would it have been different regarding our failure?

Because I see it as saving something from bad rolls, at least Sir Norwache is feeling more positive towards us.

>>4168230
>>“Poor treatment for a squire who just yesterday fought against bandits plaguing *your* lands. We will see what the pilgrims and Knights Comitas think of this.” You will rely on public outrage to pressure the Lord into commuting the sentence. [Hearty]

Actually can I change to this?

>>4168233
why not both? have the trial then give him what he wants to salt the wound for maximum Chad

>>4168247
Or better yet, punch him in his face and then DEMAND he whip us for it, or face us in combat.

I mean. If we're gonna lose our temper, let's go all the way. Might as well get the chance to actually hit the guy fucking with us instead of beating up some poor sucker worker under him.

Are you seriously suggesting we punch the lord in the face?

>>4168251
And then demand he whip us for it, or face us in combat.

WHAT COULD GO WRONG.

>>4168238
Biting your tongue would have dramatically increased the DC, Sir Norwache’s opinion of you would not have been raised. The write-in is what caused that regardless of the roll.

>>4168256
When you say biting our tongue, you mean the Hearty option, or that the write-in dramatically decreased the DC?

Please note that if you WIN the trial by combat, you could not then receive punishment in your squires stead. Taking punishment on a guilty party’s behalf is not strictly legal and wouldn’t fly in other duchies. But this is fucking Fallavon.

Unless you instigated some other charge against yourself, as some anons are suggesting.

>>4168257
The hearty option. The haughty alone option would have resulted in this DC, but less likely to cause a change in Sir Norwache’s view of you.

>>4168259
So. Win the trial by combat THEN punch Lord Fitchener?

Can we at least call him Lord Kitchener instead of his name, and punch him in his self image since he's a fat fuck?

I mean. You keep spelling it like that.

>>4168253
>Emile punches Lord Darbyshire

Just what the hell do you think will happen anon.

>>4168262
Shame. I suppose I should have attached it to the Hearty option. I hope people didn't think it had to go with haughty to have the write in be part of it.

Still. In that case, I regret nothing!

>>4168146

Emile on the Haughty train today.

>>4168266
Exactly this.

Rolling up a shekel Knight every thread. Don't you know, everyone is secretly trying to kill Emile? Even you! Especially you.

Alternatively

> Emile tries to punch Sir Kitchener
> Rolls a Nat 100
> Uncomfortably caresses his face
> SECRET WAIFU UNLOCKED
> Sir Kitchener joins us as we slowly help him recover from his old injury until he can walk again
> When really he wants us to wreck his ass so bad he can't even get out of bed

Love can bloom at the dinner table.

Yeah no, I'm all for shitting on this guy for his mistreatment of Mikhail and our experience of his town but assaulting a lord is not something im eager to do.

Let's NOT get the pilgrims and Knights Comitas involved in this. We shouldn't let possible harm come to them over something that they have nothing to do with

What a dickhead is this Lord-Too-Fat-To-Sit-An-Elephant is. Emile and Mikail defeat the bandits in his land and he decides to have Mikail whipped because of his own sworn knight's fuck up?

Honestly if people voted for that they would have deserved the outcome.

I mean. I hope people weren't taking it seriously, but you never know. Tone doesn't always translate well in text.

I was serious about calling him Lord Kitchener, though. Or maybe finding a bard or minstrel to sing about Lord Kitchner, heavy is his . . . hand (make a gesture that could be a courtly arm sweep, or could be describing the arc of a large belly). He sinks his feet into the land/with every step he takes/his majestic figure shakes the land/if ever a second step he takes tum ta tum ta tuma ta diddy dah

That sort of thing. Real petty revenge.

Maybe Damien can get the Pilgrims singing it after we leave.

In my opinion, Andrei is just too angry right now to think straight.

Don't we have a persuate re-roll from our animal companion?

Ah yes, the Favllon cur reveals his pettiness once again

>>4168313
I think that's only for courtship & intrigue.

It gives a +1 intrigue re-roll and a +1 courtship re-roll.

i think we have some actual schizophrenic anons here who think that because something makes sense in their head it makes sense in the world.

"we already started digging ourselves a hole, so no sense in not finishing it!" seems to be the prevailing attitude towards getting ourselves in worse and worse shit unnecessarily. "we have a history of starting fights with nobles, so why not do it again? it would be out of character not to, because people are incapable of learning lessons from their mistakes"

here are some consequences: our brother is in deep shit already and we're supposed to protect a convoy of holy men. if we are captured it jeopardizes our family's reputation and likely helps build the case against our brother. this could potentially hurt our family and subjects at home. if we can't protect the convoy, or if our actions somehow end up reflecting on them, we'll have needlessly endangered them too.

also write-in =/= auto-pass. especially if it appeals to values the characters don't share.

Yeah if this got out it will be Emile who'd look good and the lord who'd look bad. We freed his lands of bandits, but he decides to whip our own squire becasue of the mistake of his own men and because we asked for an apology. Absolutely no one will think we were in the wrong.

Agreed. What an absolute bullshit railroad this is though. Sir Norwache forgot to tell the lord? Get the fuck of here with that bullshit Forgotten. That shit is ''Daenerys kinda forgot about the Iron Fleet''-tier writing. At least come up with better ways to railroad.

>>4168321
I think the problem is that some people keep complaining and holding on to thints after votes have passed.

People gonna make their choices. It's not always going to be what you would have chosen. It's not always going to work out. Especially when it's a 50DC with two opposed rerolls and the dice give you a double failure.

Besides, first the guys here tried to execute a man we oathed to protect, beat our squire, and then they want to have him whipped? Nah, nah. Fuck this guy.

Doing something like agitating the peasants against their Lord is way sketchier than openly dueling him.

Honestly, we left low key behind as soon as we wiped out a bandit camp and brought back a bunch of prisoners.

I'm sorry, I'm always voting for the most reasonable choices, but right now, duelling the guy is the most in-character choice for Andrei.
