“A Knight is Sworn to Valour. His Heart Knows Only Virtue. His Blade Defends the Helpless. His Might Upholds the Weak. His Word Speaks Only Truth. His Wrath Undoes the Wicked.”Every child in Cantôn knows of the Knight’s Code. From peasant-born waifs playing with sticks in the mud to keen-eyed noble sons practicing with cold steel in the training yard, all have at the very least dreamed of one day becoming a knight themselves. To ride out on errantry into the Five Duchies Kingdom and beyond for God and Glory, bringing the Law of Adam to the wicked and the Blade of Cain to the beast.The Knights of Cantôn are sworn to follow the Code, to obey the King, to refuse no call for aid honestly asked for, to seek out and destroy the Foe wherever it may lurk and rid the world of evil.Were it so easy…------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Twitter: https://twitter.com/BlackCompany666/qst/ Archive: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?tags=Sworn%20to%20ValourOur Knight & Companions Pastebin: https://pastebin.com/iBg32ZQwGeneral Plots & Intrigue: https://pastebin.com/HW6tG7TWSecret War Specific Intrigue: https://pastebin.com/55pd59kuDramatis Personnae: https://pastebin.com/mydcz8pAFaith & Politics Pastebin: https://pastebin.com/Cu4FPGVMFoes, Foreigners & Monsters Pastebin: https://pastebin.com/nXwzHGGa

Aubres – One Weeks AgoThe clang of steel-shod hooves on the cobblestone was reminiscent of hammer blows in a billowing forge. Each knight had their weapons and shields strapped to their arms with manifold links of cold iron, an indication of their famous unwillingness to lay down their weapons for flight or surrender. Jerome St. Thomas led the column from the front, raising his voice in unison with the other holy knights intoning a mantra older than the nation they now defended. A clarion call from a when free men broke their shackles and sailed north.“Cain!”“Δεν θα χαλάσω!” “Cain!”“Δεν θα ξεχάσω!”“Cain!”“Δεν θα συγχωρήσω!” “Cain! Cain! Cain!”Grandmaster Godric St. John watched the column pass along the road, his eyes coming to rest a moment on the corpses dragged behind the horses by rope. A small hunting party of foul beastmen, just retribution for their brazen attack on a convoy along the Kings Highway a month hence. It was a poor crop. These were only the stragglers, those too stupid to flee the inevitable. “I mislike being summoned when there is yet work to do.” The last words Even by Her Grace went unspoken, but they were there all the same. Harsh lessons had taught him well that his Order’s enemies were not always the Reginate’s enemies. “Tis no summons, Grandmaster. I am merely informing you as to what would please Her Grace.” The First Herald narrowed his eyes, but wisely said nothing further. Holy Knights of the Broken Blade Chapter were not to be trifled with. It pleased Godric St. John to see the Queen’s favoured man tread carefully around him, that meant he was not a fool. Godric St. John did not suffer fools.The Order of the Broken Blade fell within the remit of the Church structure and therefore technically at the beck and call of the Queen and senior clergymen. In reality the Broken Blade was a power unto itself, going where they pleased and conducting war against who they willed without restraint or oversight. Exactly as the Brother Cain would have wanted. [1/2]
[2/2]It had been a hard winter in the east, no matter how Deadmen they tossed upon the pyres each winter the hordes seemed only more numerous. But like a great beast that had eaten it’s fill over the winter, the Dread Lords of Ardenne had retreated to their damned domain to slumber. Godric St. John yearned to call another Crusade Adamant against Ardenne, as Grandmaster Cyprus St. George had generations ago. Oh, to ring the alarum in every town and hamlet from Grenoble to Port Bounty march them east to end the abominations once and for all. He would not be the first Broken Blade Grandmaster to meet his end in that cursed land, and the thought held of martyrdom in pursuit of that noble cause held some comfort. But the lords of the land had little taste for further bloodshed after the War of Borders, and even the Romani for the most part were content to merely hold on to what they still had. Perhaps, with the Queen’s support…Godric St. John shrugged, no mean feat in his imposing full-plate armour. Dread Ardenne could wait, there was no shortage of evil to be cleansed from this land. The Almighty willed it. ==========================================> “I am Her Grace’s humble servant.

It's time lads
>>4198227>Crusade adamant gets called>End up fighting the Broken blades because we joined the DragongangGetting them Kresden feels just thinking about it.
>>4198277The Grandmaster wants a crusade to be called against the Deadmen in Ardenne, not a crusade against Cathagi.
>>4198279Okay?
>>4198279Yeah. If I remember correctly, the only time crusades against Cathagi were called were when the pilgrimages of the Long Walk of Nova Cathago (the holiest site of the Cantonian Faith) were shut down. A crusade adamant against Cathagi is very unlikely to be called unless that happens.

That is where we will go.” [Hearty]Grandmaster St. John seems like the kind of man who'd want to smash the Snakefiends. They may be eating wastelanders, but they might move on to Cantonians when they run out of wastelanders. Plus, this way he could probably ring up some debts with the Montbrun to get them to support the march against the Deadmen in the future.

> “The rising power in the north-east casts a shadow over the Törwatcher Gates. The Snakefiends may not come this year, or even the next, but they will come. That is where we will go.” [Hearty]Godric St. John shrugged a second time, he had little patience for the constantly shifting sands of alliances, treasons and mundane plots that came with any involvement with the Ordo Reginae. He preferred his foes to be kept obvious, and he especially preferred not to engage in unforgiving warfare against a threat that might be pardoned in return for some political favour later on. Despicable.Godric St. John spat, the very thought of it made him sick. “The rising power in the north-east casts a shadow over the Törwatcher Gates. The Snakefiends may not come this year, or even the next, but they will come. That is where we will go.”“Damn your eyes, man! There’s more at stake here than reptiles in the hills.” The First Herald baulked at Godric St. John’s baleful glare, shrinking back under the Grandmaster’s full attention. “I… misspoke. No need for anything rash now.”Long moments pass as the Broken Blade Grandmaster considered slaying the Queen’s most favoured knight. Between the two of them, any duel was sure to end as such. Godric St. John sighed, his patience was truly being tested this day. It was more the thought of Salve Reginae’s plea for mercy than the Queen’s displeasure that stayed his hand.“…Consider yourself fortunate. There are few men alive who could speak as you have thus and still draw breath. But for Her Grace’s favour, you would not be among them.” The Grandmaster drew away his great Mustang, Archangel, and addressed the column. “Brothers! Too long have the Montbrun lords skulked in their halls while the serpent fiends gather their strength. We ride north to the mountains!”“Cain in the Hills!” Jerome St. Thomas raised his gauntlet to his commander, eyes blazing with righteous fury.“Cain!” The knights of the Broken Blade roared, men who could face down ten-times their number without fear or second thoughts.“Cain in the Mountains!”“Cain!”“Cain to the ends of the world!”“Cain! Cain! Cain!”[1/3]
Fenegan, 27th Day of Novrimun, 883 A.C.E. – Pascae, MiddaySelecting a shield only duel would be quite ungentlemanly, akin to selecting a rock as your weapon. But I think this will be a great line to use in the future.> “Well, you have heard my pedigree. And what feats do you lay claim to, Sir de Broulert?” If you have to accept the challenge, you will not settle for anything less than their leader. [Haughty]> On-foot. Any weapon of your choice, the opponent will select the same.> Allow Mikail to accept the challenge of one of the other knight’s squires, if he wishes. [Hearty]“Well, you have heard my pedigree. And what feats do you lay claim to, Sir de Broulert.” If you really must engage in this pointless contest, you endeavour to make it somewhat worth your while with a real challenge. Nonetheless, you keep the boredom out of your voice and try to address the Pascae knight with a modicum of respect.“But of course.” The blond-haired youth bestows you a winning smile. “I have competed in five tournaments and never been unhorsed. At Lord Hewitt’s tournament last spring I was the lone victor of the melee, besting five men of consequence and taking two for ransom. In the last Summer Tourney I broke three lances at each contest and killed a man, taking on the Marquis Fallavon in the quarter-finals before he was awarded the round on points. My man here will list the names.”What follows is a long list of defeated opponents of noble birth, some recently bested on this very ground. However cocky and youthful Sir de Broulert appears to be, he is clearly an accomplished fighter. The herald concludes the list, clearly he is a character that likes to talk much and do little. “The deceased gentlemen was Sir Jaskier Vidra, messire.”[2/3]
[3/3]You note the name, no one you know but perhaps Mother would be more familiar with relatives on her side of the family. Not a bad list of achievements all said, for a tourney knight. But you noticed there was no mention of monsters or other denizens of the Foe. This plumed knight may sit fair and pretty as he basks in the adoration of the crowds but you wander how many times he has faced a foe utterly bent on his destruction. You have attended banquets with creatures that would chill the blood and faced down worse things than death. Jean Sinclair and the Marquis at least both had a reputation for feats against the Wild. Some pup with a pedigree does not intimidate you.“I trust that should suffice.” Again, that self-assured smile. It angers you. “Name your pleasure, sir.” “Suffice it does.” You grunt, dismounting from Hannibal. “On-foot, with blade and board.” By now a second column has reached the bridge, traders heading from Port Bounty. The merchants protest at the delay with an insubordination you find repellent but the knights pay them no heed and already the caravan hands and pilgrims have gathered on each riverbank to watch the contest. The two of you meet at the centre of the bridge, wide enough to draw a wagon over but slim enough that you’ll still need to watch your footing.===================================(1) Combat Stance: Your opponent is also a Blademaster.

Pic is the merchants and pilgrims watching as we stomp these numbskulls into the mud
>>4201609They gotta be used to it by now.I find it funny that although we're far more confident about winning duels now, we also fight much more conservatively.
>>4201611Fighting smart is how we've managed to win so often. I remember back in the early days going balls to the wall from turn 1 in combat and whilst we managed it through luck, man there were some close calls.
>>4201614Well. We nat 1'd the last duel lol.
>>4201625That's true, and we also literally through ourselves off a set of broken stairs at the Son of Sin as well which was fucking crazy (but awesome)
>>4201611I mean, after nearly killing Fallavon, Sinclair, and Hartsvale in various dueling exchanges, we know how badly we fuck scrubs up. Plus, if we get a bit hurt in an Exchange of Blows, it'll proc a few of our path of Cain abilities to make the smackdown easier.
>>4201627I genuinely thought we were going to die from doing that, but I also thought we were gonna die anyways of we didn't so there was no reason not to.
>>4201631Yeah same, it was pure badassery whether we lived or died, that's why I voted for it. One of the peak moments for the quest
>>4201614>Fighting smart is how we've managed to win so oftenthats hilarious we've been basically able to smash human opponents like paper mache but when it comes to monsters we've only survived due to stupid luck, risky manuvers and clutch saves not smart fighting.
>>4201635We've been lucky but over time we've gone from doing stupid shit to fighting smarter
>>4201635Yeah. Faefu saved us from ending up as snek lunch. >>4201637Emile is from Romaine. Romani knights learn of their own mortality very early unlike knights from other duchies. By the time he was the same age as those young knights we're facing now, Emile had already participated in multiple combats and battles to the death against the Deadmen before we even started playing as him.
>>4201637if you consider the use of terminal aggression for the sake of theoretically shortening fights to be ''stupid shit'' and fighting smarter to simply being a tad more cautious in regards to what we can gauge as skilled opponents then sure.
>>4201650This but unironically. A critfail or double fail with an audacious stance (especially audacious mounted charges) is far worse than a critfail or double fail with a cautious stance. Tanking definitely helped us against snek.
>>4201655Snek is awfulSnek delenda est!
>>4201660Snek already got delenda est'd by Jess the Kid.
I hope Mathanon is here right now for the combat rolls. Mathanon knows best. I wonder if Mapbro and Heraldybro are here too.

Rolled 38 (1d100)>>4201713
Rolled 50 (1d100)>>4201713
>>4201714Do I re-roll mine?
>>4201720I mean, we have two passes so I would save it to counter adverse rerolls.
>>4201720up to you you could save it we already have 2 degrees of damage and dub fail would hurt
>>4201720I'd say wait to see if the opposed reroll shakes out in their favorcurrently things look bad for this round
also this knigga will lose dc as he gets less healthy so a reroll is better later with a higher dc
>>4201724> 2 degrees of damage> looking bad.
Rolled 83 (1d100)>>4201718Using Ser de Broulert's re-roll to counter this.

>>4201728Yeah go for it
>>4201728yep bro may cain guide your blade
>>4201725We also have 3 rerolls, after this he'll only have one, so we can use them to wait for his armor reroll to get used and then go belligerent.
>>4201726I wasn't entirely sure if the 50 counted>>4201725this is a fair point staggering blows is going to lay him down fairly quickely>>4201728go for it

>>4201746F well we tried
>>4201746Damn he tanked them both.Why don't we have Courageous Sky's combat re-roll btw?
>>4201746Goddamn master crafted armour ain't no slouch
>>4201746Dick!
>>4201749kinda goes against the dueling format me thinks
>>4201752We had it against Sir Hartsvale though.
>>4201754forgotten has altered the deal
>>4201746>Stands up to 2 decent strikes.We really need to get our mitts on some more plate armour to start taking advantage of this stuff. Bloody copper-clippers buying their ways out of an ass-kicking.
>>4201746Ffffffffuck I want full plate.
no wonder knights have been getting jobbed here guillermo is a tank and just outlasts poorer knights
>>4201760and honestly balanced is the best stance vs him audacious is too risky belligerent still needs to get past his Armour and we lose the trade on exchange
>>4201762Belligerent gives the best value since it lets us add an extra damage without going through an AV roll, but it's risky to get that one roll through until he burns his armor save.
>>4201762the man who wins this is the first to roll a double and disarm or do damge
>>4201765taking damage and doing nothing on exchange of blows is risky desu
>>4201758Harness+Full plate at least, Mastercrafted or otherwise special equipment would be rad.problems is money and the pressing pilgrimage go along like water & oilbut thats for later.>>4201762Belligerent is pretty much only if we can get past the AV but Audacious will bring down the AV to 25ish.
I think we should go guarded or balanced next round. He'll burn out his last combat re-roll then we can go audacious or belligerent in the round after it.
>>4201770no brings down our av to 25 in exchange for double damage
>2 Success!>0 Damage inflicted> Sir de Broulert sustains Staggering Blows! -5DCThe blonde-haired knight adopts a high guard in stark contrast to your low, clearly believing that he can command the tempo of this duel. You consider shifting your stance to match his but withhold for now, waiting to see how your opponent handles himself. Sir de Broulert is young and arrogant, no doubt. But to declare himself the leader of these other youths is an achievement no doubt backed up with some skill with the blade. Within seconds of matching swords you know you are fighting no rank amateur. His movement his precise, almost mechanical, but with the underlying grace that belies a dancer or master swordsman. You feint a wide swipe, more to see how he will react than anything else. Sir de Broulert doesn’t buy it, instead committing to a second sally which you comfortably fend off with your shield before dipping your shoulder to bash him aside with your shield. It connects but barely, dashing Sir de Broulert aside and causing him to struggle to find his footing. The young knight skips away before you can follow through, surprisingly light on his feet underneath that gaudy plate armour. His arrogant bearing does not translate into a lack of caution in arms, it seems.“A clean touch there.” The Pascae knight salutes you, as you would an opponent in the tiltyard. But this is not the tiltyard. “Not bad, old timer.”Old timer?! This blonde pup is scarcely a few summers younger than you. By the time you were his age you were a year into the Eastwatch Vigil and had already put to rest your first Deadman.You grit your teeth and ready your blade.---------------------------------------------------------------(1) Combat Stance: Your opponent is also a Blademaster.

there is also the cautious route where we hide behind 80 av and hope we damage him too inflict stagger
>>4201762Audacious gives diminishing return because of his high AV. It's probably best for quickly crushing lightly armored foes in battle, or if we face a monstrous creature with high health but moderate/low AV.
Vote will remain open for five minutes. New rollers for the next combat round, cheers.

>>4201799glad you guys went snek under armour
>>4201776turtling up might be a good way to frustrate him into expending his last re-roll if he refuses to give it up.
>Balanced - AV and Damage remain unchanged. May Re-Roll results of this and next Combat Stance superiority roll.> [Mild Restraint -5DC]> No>>4201793It stacks, but only for this round.

>>4201840Nah fuck that, if we have to fight him fisticuffs Im down for it.
>>4201847Fisticuffs? Like a *peasant*? Crass.
at least we didn't lose 15 dc from sword and blade master
We should go on the offensive now that we lost our shield and can't go Captain Canton.

>>4201855Yeah, I agree. Emile has lost his cool in the past, and getting this badly disarmed would definetely get him riled up to hell. I know for a fact Broulert is gonna act smug as fuck right now.
Nice we sustain no damage and are still healthy.
>>4201855Nope, accidentally killing someone because we don't want to lose a duel is a bad idea. WWDD What Would Daniel Do?
>>4201853> The sword is auto-removed as it is the only weapon remaining. You are reduced to your Dirk. Finally, a fair fight! >>4201855Or cautious, since we lost our shield and a lot of our AV.
I realise that staggering blows should NOT have activated until Sir de Broulert actually sustains damage. That will be amended next round.
>>4201861Don't hold back & go cautious. Keep ringing his bell and racking up +5 to rolls. Take brutal advantage of any openings and focusing on counters?
>>4201848their is nothing more masculine than repatriation of your opponent through pure physique.Im over it though goddamit I was looking forward to potentially captain cantoning this shit.>>4201855I mean I won't say no, we've been disarmed pretty damn promptly I can imagine Emille losing his shit slightely be it wounded pride or alarm.
>>4201865ooofff 35 dc then
>>4201865Well. Shit. There goes the cautious plan.We lost Blademaster, too.
>>4201870we won't do shit with an aggressive stance we should go cautious or guarded and hope for a disarm
>>4201873We lost 20 AV though.
>>4201865Well, time to start going harder then.>>4201873We should go aggressive. We need to get more degrees of pain on, since he has an armour re-roll, and a real high DC. Attrition is already working against us with no shield and losing our sword.
>>4201873belligerent requires 2 successes audacious is going up against his full av and our half av for a single success
Guys don't forget that he has burnt all his combat re-rolls.
>>4201877>>4201876>>4201874We don't have Blademaster with our dirk, no?
>>4201868Isn't it 45 DC actually? Sword gives +5 DC.
>>4201876>>4201874WE Won't get 2 success so it's one success with no damage or 2 possible damage vs his av and 1 damage vs our 1/2 av
>>4201880lost it and staggering has been removed
>>4201882It should still be 45 DC though. Losing the sword means we only lose 5 DC.
>>4201873>Placing hope in doubles or crits that seems like phenomenally bad thing to place the results of this duel considering whats just happened.The only way I can see this working out is if staggering blow is inflicted via damage.
>>4201880>>4201882Right, forgot we lost 10 DC this round. We should go Cautious then. Sucks, but we need to get some chip damage in to get it rolling.>>4201879Blademaster gives +10 DC to combat. We probably still get it with the dirk, but will lose it if we get disarmed again.
>>4201885damage we are unlikely to do
>>4201886No way we score damage against him in Cautious. He gets max 80 AV.
>>4201888half's our damage doubles OUR av
>>4201888Cautious increases our AV, not his. But it rounds down damage.However, with his 55AV we're likely to only get one degree of damage in a round anyways, so we don't lose anything since the damage is rounded up.
>>4201887Not going to disagree with that, in fact going defensive right now is a good idea until we can lower the Dc or inflict injury to the point we can take the offensive.
Reading through the doc, it looks like we also get +1 re-roll if we take any damage (In Our Prayers), and +5 if Battered (Mark of Cain). Taking one hit won't be the end of the world>>4201888Right, meant Guarded. Forgot which was which.
>>4201889Does it matter though? He'll outtank us if gets max AV.>>4201890Are you sure it doesn't increase his AV?
>>4201894audacious and cautious have never effected the opponents av only ours
Sir de Broulert is a tricky opponent, so far unable to steer the tide of combat in his favour but nimble enough to avoid most of your strikes and turn duel-ending blows into glancing ones. You restrain yourself from launching into another attack, hoping to wear him out. Your opponent is as wily as he is agile, reading your intention and charging in to bring the battle to you.Slicing at his shoulderplate for want of a better target, the knight takes a hit but spoils the momentum of your second blow by ducking under your cut and coming face-to-face.“Nnf!” “Hrrh!”Your shoulders lock as you both collide, you immediately try to bring your superior weight to bear and force him down but the boy is as slippery as an eel. He twists and turns, foiling your strike and by foul invention managing to slip his blade through the left side of your heater shield and slicing the upper strap on your forearm.“Aha!” The Pascae knight cries victoriously, springing apart and sending your sword flying into the air with a neat trick of his own pommel on your wrist. Your shield dangles uselessly from your hand, more a nuisance than protection. You grab the rim and tear it from you, flinging the piece of wood to the side. Your dirk flicks from your waist to your palm in an instant as the Pascae knight relaxes works his shoulder.“A fearsome opponent, this Bear of Romaine. But no match for a true champion.” Sir de Broulert grins, already basking in the polite applause of the onlookers and cheers of his own entourage. “Oh don’t look so downcast, Sir Andrei. You had me breaking a sweat at least before we were done.” ---------------------------------------------------------------(1) Combat Stance: Your opponent is also a Blademaster.

>>4201955>>4201948>>4201951Before you decide to re-roll, your opponent's stance actually means you do not suffer a hit in any case.
>>4201955Nah. Save that for saving our ass. He inflicts no damage this round.
>>4201947Also, in Exchange of blows, should it be 1 damage inflicted, 0 damage received, since Broulert is going Belligerent?
>>4201951Should this anon re-roll or not?
>>4201959tooo late
>>4201958Do you wish to use this successful re-roll? It will change one degree of damage to two. You will not suffer damage in either case.
Well I'm conflicted now, I feel it's best to get damage in asap yeah? But many are saying not to use it. Keep it or not guys?
i would keep it seems like the best shot we have
>>4201964You know what? I rolled it, lets keep it. This has to end eventually anyway
>>4201966Your call, 5 minutes.
>inb4 we go full troy and beat this bitch like Paris
Yes, knigga. Keep it
>>4201966It's hard to give up a success for a chance to prevent us getting beat up next round, or killed if he goes belligerent. But I'd prefer to keep it.
We should go back to mild restraint in the next round if we damage him. We're still healthy and Staggering Blows as well as his wounds/injuries will increase the DC. Even if he damages us, we get In Our Prayers and Mark of Cain which grant a combat re-roll and a +5 DC respectively.
>>4201966Against my better judgment keep it.I may regret this but we'll see what happens.
>>4201966I'd say keep it. With his high AV and AV re-roll, we need to get SOMETHING in to get the ball moving.

>>4201979Man. This Knigga born under a lucky star or something?
>>4201977Well, that's the re-roll gone anyways.Hey Forgotten, if he has Guardian (Adam step 3), is it safe to guess that he has In Our Prayers (Adam step 1)? Is the tiers the same for anyone on the paths?
We need to go Audacious, get in at least 1 single solid blow and finish the fight before we get disarmed or badly hurt
>>4201979Crazy rolls from De Broulert, but this knigga's luck has to run out eventually.
The only reason we haven't won by now is because of his full plate armour that he bought with his wealth. What a load crap.
Enough gamesWe need to channel some true power. Any opportunity we have some SoS rage leftover?
>>4201983Nah, just throwing money at the problem, like the Pascae tend to. Looks like if we get the stance next round though, probably a good time to alpha strike though.
>>4201977>>4201979Fucking hell Pascae is proven to be an affair in and of itself and we just got here.
We should go Cautious with No Restraint again or Audacious with Mild Restraint.
>>4201990Wow. I mean, being too proud to lose to the point that you're willing to go full heretic, Anon?
>>4201984There will be slight differences for different cultures, but yes he will have In Our Prayers.
>>4201987It's like money is a form of strength, who knew. Amazing what money AND skill can do, as opposed to a copper-clipper who just tries to buy his way through.If you're so salty about it, run to the woods to be a Commie with the Jays, or join the Anprim Beastmen.Really, it's a poor craftsmen who blames his tools, especially when he managed to disarm us twice.
>>4201987Yes. I want back to check all the rolls. We would've long since won if he had the same gear as us.
>>4201998Kk. If that's the case, we should definitely hit him hard the next go. Otherwise with only one hit he'll get another combat re-roll if it keeps dragging out.
>>4202002> Assuming we win the Blademaster roll.
>>4202000I'm honestly more salty about Forgotten railroading us into a sword and board weapon of choice instead of the winning vote of just shield and fists only even though it's our right as the challenged.
>>4202004Oh god not this again
>>4202003I mean yeah, that's kind of a given. Shouldn't bother with Balanced right now, since it'll just be re-rolled away from us, especially if he's trying to go Balanced too.
>>4202004In my defence, the shield-only meme write-in didn't even win on votes.
>>4202004What??
> 2 Success!> 0 Damage Inflicted“You performed admirably, I suppose. Though for all your man’s talk I expected…”You growl at the knight’s smug self-satisfaction. “We’re done when I say we’re done!” “Oh?” Sir de Broulert seems entertained at your charge. Glad to see his sport isn’t over, the knight steps into an aggressive advance.Confident. Overconfident. You shift from your crouched dagger stance and leap forward with a sudden roar. You’re angry at this cocky little whelp, and you let that anger drive you. You have the momentary satisfaction of seeing the knight hesitate as you barrel into him, knocking the wind out of him and sending you both tumbling to the ground. *plink* *plink* *plink* The sound of your dagger clacking at his armour as you tussle on the ground avails you little. It’s near impossible to find a gap in this finely wrought plate and you haven’t got a good enough grip to force his visor or armpit open. After a few seconds he finally pulls apart, disentangling himself and rolling to his feet as you do the same. You know stand opposite from your starting points on the bridge, the Pascae knight flicks his tussled plume out of the way and gives you an evil eye.You’ve given him something to think about, certainly.---------------------------------------------------------------(1) Combat Stance: Your opponent is also a Blademaster.

We should consider a secondary weapon beside the dirk or once we have fullplate a chaining our sword to it.

>>4202065I have to stop lurking and make a post just to point that you are making no sense.Sometime it do be like that.
>>4202059Yeah, not being able to score a hit on a guy with clearly worse equipment, and that you disarmed three times, while getting through mainly by having the benefit of full plate is got to be a stinger on the pride.With the way things are going, we should invest in a hammer or something to start cracking through armoured opponents. We've been running into a few where we've been foiled by just a couple DC on clean hits.
>>4202065> The shield and fist option didn't even win the vote.Dude. Come on. Don't be a sore loser. Emile has been such bullshit in duels, it's a learning experience for him to have this happen.
I feel like going to fists at this point might make us look a little desperate and sad. Like we've been bested pretty handily, disarmed three times, I'd call that a win to our opponent
>>4202065You couldn't have won the vote anyway let it go man.

>>4202073Was that ever said? I don't remembering seeing anything about no restraint removing the ability to concede after each round. I may be mistaken. I'd like to be gracious in defeat but if we have to fight on, then we'll do so as well as we can
>>4202074forgotten said that would fuck us though
>>4202072But it won though. It was just invalidated by railroad BS excuses by the QM even though it's literally supposed to be our right to choose the weapons as the one being challenged.
>>4202073Thats litreally not what no restraint means
>>4202069The option won.
>>4202078Our right wound up with us being sword and board, on foot, rather than lance on horseback or whatever else Broulert felt like. The fact that shield only got out-voted doesn't affect that.
>>4202035Emerging from lurking just to point out that since we shifted to "No Restraint" the "Mild Restraint" -5DC has still been applied, so the DC has been slightly off for the last two rolls
>>4202078still would of had the Armour problem bro fisty cuffs is all that eliminates it

>>4202070Something like>"Well Sir de Broulert, where you the foe or a dishonorable man I would beat you with my bear hands. But you have fought honorably and have disarm me fairly so I concede that you are the victor of this duel.
>>4202087Yeah absolutely anon, that fits well

The two of you have been hacking away at each other for several minutes now, and that’s no small effort weighed down by armour. The two of you are moving slower, but your strategy of wearing him down has done you little good in comparison. Taking the threat of his opponent seriously now, Sir de Broulert offers no opening and leaves little room you to make a repeat of your overwhelming charge.You make a valiant effort with your dirk, turning away his strikes as best you can. You can see the frustration in your opponent at your stubborn defence, his blows came harder and more persistently. Your dagger was never meant for this kind of punishment, it flicks out of your palm over the edge of bridge under Sir de Broulert’s latest assault. You absent-mindedly remind yourself to make sure Mikail fetches it afterwards.You curl your hands into fists, undecided on whether to continue in spite of the odds given that you are currently unhurt. To your surprise the Pascae knight does not press the attack, instead stepping back several paces. He indicates to your discarded arming sword that lies between you, having giving you plenty of space and time to recover it.The young man salutes you, his blade flicking to his visor. “One gallant effort deserves another, sir.”--------------------------------------------------------------(1) Combat Stance: Your opponent is also a Blademaster.

>>4202091> “That is awfully chivalrous of you, sir. But I am beaten.” Yield. [Idealist]If we pick it up and win it wont be a true victory. He's beaten us, lets bow out with grace

Rolled 73 (1d100)>>4202091>NO YIELDIt would be a bitch move to yield while we're still healthy especially after going no restraint.
>>4202091>Cautious - Double AV (Max 80), Total unsaved damage to Foe is halved (Rounding up)> [Mild Restraint -5DC]> “Oh no, I’m just lulling you into a false sense of security.” Continue the duel. [Hearty]He is acting chivalrously but It wouldn't be fair.
>>4202102Some would call it an act of chivalry...
>>4202097Looks like we have the opportunity to continue with our arming sword, anyways. I say we go to first blood and stop there. Call it a draw if we wound him, arrange to duel again another time, and go around him on the river as a sign of consideration.
>>4202091>Belligerent - Exchange of Blows does not inflict damage; +1 Damage to Foe if any unsaved damaged is inflicted.> [Mild Restraint -5DC]> “…My thanks.” Pick up the sword. Continue the duel. [Haughty]I have a much higher opinion of Sir de Broulert now. Mild Restraint back on.

I'm taking a quick smoke break.>>4202097>>4202090>>4202082This is fair enough. I think I will allow a fiat 'Second Wind' re-roll if you do decide to press on to make up for my miscalculation.

[Haughty]Don't you fucking dare yield, kniggas. And for christ's sake stop voting for cautious, it's useless without our shield.
>>4202091> “That is awfully chivalrous of you, sir. But I am beaten.” Yield. [Idealist]if we do press on i implore the use of at least some restraint seeing as i would feel like a prick for killing the man after this show of good faith
>>4202108This is the best duel Emile has had in a while, from a certain perspective. It's genuinely fun for both of them at this point, no grudge or wager to factor in. True, he's already won the duel on moral grounds, but how often has he gotten to cross blades like this without resolution? Nobody is hurt yet, might as well keep going.
If by some miracle, we win this. We should yield just before he gives up.
>>4202115Hopefully we could disarm him and return the favor and then have proper conclusion.
>>4202091>>Belligerent - Exchange of Blows does not inflict damage; +1 Damage to Foe if any unsaved damaged is inflicted.>> [Mild Restraint -5DC]>> “…My thanks.” Pick up the sword. Continue the duel. [Haughty]

>>4202112Personally, I don't care too much either way on if we go on this scrap or not. I agree on the Cautious point though, we'd be better off going Guarded over it, to avoid taking a hit on Exchange of blows. Whatever hit on us gets in is going to be hard as hell to save against with our shield gone regardless.
Vote closed, counting.
>>420212266 av isn't bad
>>4202124Yeah, but the only times it'll be factor on Cautious is in Exchange, Solid sustained or Crit-fail. Guarded lowers chance of damage to only on Solid sustained or critfail. If we critfail at this point, we're fucked regardless, and with a solid blow against, we'll still probably only take one damage altogether.
>>4202122At this point, I'm voting more thematically then tactically. A bold gamble, instead of drawing it out further.

could we use our guardian save for him?
>>4202163>Doubles bad times coming
>>4202163>>4202159So. Uh. I feel pretty bad about killing this dude.
>>4202163Can't he burn his In Our Prayers re-roll?
Man we are an absolute unit. Emile fucking Andrei the Knights Bane
>>4202163Damn i really wish you guys voted for some more restraint. we are not going to look good coming out of this
>>4202163Well shit.
Given his display of chivalry, if we have to burn something to save him, I'm down for it.
we could reroll one of our attacks?
>>4202163Bruh.Any chance we can burn our AV reroll for him?
>>4202184Yeah we should be able to use our crit re-roll or Second Wind since we don't want him dead
can we reroll one of our attacks forgotton
>>4202186Burning the Second Wind would be good. I'm glad we won (even though he'd beaten us) but I don't want to kill the poor guy, he's a skilled knight and seems like a good man even if he started out seeming cocky. I feel bad that we're probably going to maim the guy
>>4202187I think the crit blademaster should grant us that. The crit blademaster combat stance should mean that we have total control over our weapon and our strikes this round.
>>4202186>>4202187Maybe fail it on purpose to not murder the shit him out of him.
>>4202182Aside from the massive rattling we've just given this guy's skull, not to be nitpicky Forgotten but you've forgotten (pun intended) our Staggering Blows for all the other turns after our first. Certainly didn't make much of a difference in the end.
>>4202181We are if we give him our Bear token as a pledge for House Andrei to aid him one time as a sign of our respect for his chivalry and hope that saves his life.Deaths happen in duels, and he only used mild restraint as well. He straight up killed a relative of ours, as well.
>>4202188I mean. He's really young, already accomplished, clearly skilled, and rich, not to mention aesthetic AF. No wonder he's cocky.
>>4202193Absolutely, he's earned his ego, hopefully we've tempered it somewhat
>>4202191Staggering blows was clarified here >>4201865 to only come into effect when damage was Inflicted
>>4202188He wouldn't have beaten us even if we didn't have our sword this round because of our rolls.
>>4202195The dice just want Emile to kill.I blame the Angel
>>4202191As I pointed out before, no actual damage was inflicted for it to activate.Until now.
>>4202191Staggering Blows is supposed to only proc after the opponent takes a hit.
>>4202200Ooooh my bad then.
>>4202198I realise that Forgotten made a mistake with the rolls earlier and we shouldn't have lost our weapon or whatever but the fact is that that's how the story went in the end. We got disarmed and probably should have conceded but were given another chance out of his this chivalry and honour. He beat us in game. Now we've trashed him
>>4202196i'd say. Being dead does tend to tamper the ego
>>4202200Man, I really bloody love Staggering Blows. It fits Emile so much. EMILE STRONK
>>4202204Haha shit, well you're not wrong. I hope we can find a way to save the poor guy
>>4202208We should use the blademaster crit and Second Winds re-roll.>>4202203It not just that we shouldn't have lost our weapon. We would've won this round even with out it by using just our metal fists it thanks to our great rolls this round. Also, don't forget that this guy would've gotten rekt by us much, much earlier if not for his master crafted full plate which he got with his wealth. Seriously, go check the AV rolls.
>inb4 we knock him into the water and have to jump in after him
hey if he gained a point on the path of adam for giving us the sword he could be able to reroll his armour right?
>>4202163This is pretty appropriate story-wise as Emile himself put-it: "This plumed knight may sit fair and pretty as he basks in the adoration of the crowds but you wander how many times he has faced a foe utterly bent on his destruction."He now learns that giving mercy to an opponent might be his own undoing, while we have learned (sometimes the hard way) that a fight is sometimes just that... a fight.
>>4202214>Water was noted in the last thread as being basically a shallow creek.>Broulert drowns in like 3' of water after getting blown the fuck out by us.Like a bitch.
>>4201746>>4201853>>4201977>>4201979>>4202054Seriously anons, look at all these AV rolls and count just how much damage we would've inflicted if his AV was just -5 AV less than it is. Even -AV 2 would've made a difference.
>>4202218So? He had full plate. Get over it.
>>4202212>Also, don't forget that this guy would've gotten rekt by us much, much earlier if not for his master crafted full plate which he got with his wealtI honestly don't see how that is relevant. The fact is we're going to face opponents that are superior in some way every now and then. This guy had superior armour, it's just one of those challenges we face as a knight. >>4202218And the story would have had a less climactic ending.
>>4202220You're misunderstanding me. I'm not complaining at all. Just pointing out how much of a difference it would've made.
>>4202163Just wanna say im catching up slowly and I love your Quest Forgotten. Please never stop making them.
>>4202218nah they all would of passed at 50 av
>>4202218Looking at some old threads, Castle-Forged Axe gives a -10AV to opponents rolls. We should look into one when we aren't a poorfag anymore, in case we wind up facing more heavily armoured foes on the road ahead.
>>4202226True. I stand corrected.>>4202227We should get a two-handed weapon. It would help against being disarmed and against high AV foes. More importantly we should get ourselves a full plate harness.
>>4202228All that costs wealth.
>>4202228Great axe sounds good.
>>4202228Going two-handed also helps against other blademasters too since it gives us another re-roll on stances. We should go for more plate first, then we can start focusing on going two-handed on enemy kniggas, and sword &board versus monsters and chumps.
> 4 Damage Inflicted! (3 + 1 Belligerent)> Sir Guillermo de Broulert is SLAIN?You blink, surprised at the young knight’s display of chivalry. Perhaps you misjudged him. You bend over cautiously as you pick up your blade, but your concerns of a trick are unfounded. Sir de Broulert “…My thanks.” Unlike other Pascae knights you have met, this is a man with some honour.“Think nothing of it. Now, again!” Sir de Broulert does not tarry for a moment, leaping in to the attack. But with a decent blade back in your hand, you feel invincible. You meet his charge with your own, clashing in the middle of the bridge with a clatter of steel that rattles the teeth. You turn aside his first thrust with consummate ease, parrying the second with such a perfectly timed twist that even the commoners make exclamations of your skills. Your counterattack is merciless, driving your opponent back with reeling blows to the very edge of the bridge. In seconds Sir de Broulert has no more ground to give, unable to snake his way out of this corner you capitalise on his vulnerability as he should have to you just moments ago. There is little that the man can do but weather the blows, his plumed helmet twitching from side to side as you smash it to the left and right. You’ve lost count of the clean strikes you made before the Pascae knight topples over the edge of the bridge and into the stream below. The water is barely waist-height, and even if it were deceptively deep you know that a man -can- swim in full-plate. If he doesn’t mind having his hapless squire oil down every inch of the armour later to prevent rust. But a man needs to be conscious to swim.===================================================>“By the knucklebone of St. Thomas you will breathe, damn it!” In the confusion of diving in and dragging the young knight to shore, you lose the gleaming pendant you found in the ruins.

That's me for tonight. You have done well lads, holding your ground under pressure and refusing to give up. Those unfortunate early doubles really put you at a disadvantage, but you pulled through. Regardless of whether others view your victory as only possible thanks to your opponent's chivalry, you've bested a noted Pascae knight that was arguably on-par with Sir Jean Sinclair and certainly better equipped. This may serve to give you some food for thought on what to spend some of that coin on before setting sail from Port Bounty.

>>4202244It's probably due to losing the artifact in the river.

Glad we didn't wind up yielding in the end, even if I voted against it. The quest is bigger than one schmuck on an Argentinian coffee-grinding forum.
>>4202246Nah, it's just a reflection of how they interpret the duel with you. The risk of killing a fellow knigga is offset by the chance of making a new friend.

>>4202238True. We should wait till we get a full plate harness first then get a two handed weapon. We gotta make sure as well to know when to use a sword and shield or a two handed weapon based on the circumstances. Two-handed should be used against high AV foes, while sword and shield should be used against high DC foes.

[LOSE Blessed Artefact, 100% chance Sir de Broulert survives. Sir de Broulert has a low opinion of you.]Just kept up. This was a crazy ass fight in a good way.I think the chance should be higher than 50% or have a reroll even if he's unconscious. The water is quite shallow and all they need to do is lift his head up to breathe. It takes a person quite some time to die of drowning.
So Qm hint says we should buy stuff in Port bounty. what should we buy with our bounty of 5? wealth?I'm thinking the Harness for plate or a greataxe with either the master armourer or master of blades to accompany it though it would tank all our wealth until we reach Carthaggi.the unfortunate nature of sticking with the pilgrims means our pursuit of further wealth will be hobbled until we finish our Pilgrimage so consideration should be put on if the equipment we buy will be worth the longterm loss in wealth.Also keep in mind this will be the last major stop for us in Canton so we should consider what it has to uniquely offer us as that Carthaggi does not.>>4202247This was a hell of a fight Forgotten, I don't anything except Snek has given us so much trouble as our hopfully soon to be Friend.

>>4202227>>4202228Smite Evil should be the next code. I can agree Staggering Blows was a good choice, but we need to be able to shred AV if we're going to be going up against knights, and this battle showed it in spades.Wisp in a bottle because we keep nearly killin kniggas
>>4202310Don't worry mate. I think there will plenty of opportunities in Port Bounty to earn some wealth. Our Vidra family relatives will help us if we meet them especially after we avenged Sir Jaskier Vidra.>>4202331For sure. Either Smite Evil or Orator should be next imo.
>>4202341I hope you're right but that may involve a fairly long stay in port bounty and since we won't be giving up the Pilgrims for any reason they become a problem.I wouldn't say we avenged Sir Jaskier given our friend may very well live.
>>4202349I think it won't be quite long, but we will be there for some time regardless because of the Praetors' report. I don't think we'll face issues with our charges unless we plan to stay in Port Bounty for like a month or something longer than that. I meant in terms of defeating Sir de Broulert back.
>>4202234>>“Well don’t just stand there, fools. Help him!” You watch on as Sir de Broulert’s attendants rush to riverside to recover their leader. You feel no ill will against the man and genuinely hope that he recovers. [50% chance Sir de Broulert survives. Sir de Broulert has a high opinion of you.]Sometime you have to take risk.
>>4202356I don't think thats enough time to earn a sufficient amount of wealth short of getting involved in Intrigue or battle.
>>4202397That might be true in some other places. But considering that this is Port Bounty we're heading to, I think there will be many opportunities to earn some wealth during that time.
>>4202397>>4202349By the way, we should not forget that we will have to stay in Port Bounty for some time due to our vigil.>TFW we might get lightning knight Emile
>>4202397We have to pay our debt, our passage to Cathago and maintain a good level of wealth. I'm all for buying more stuff but we should see to those first.
>>4202414>tfw emile might get extra crispy>>4202234>>“Well don’t just stand there, fools. Help him!” You watch on as Sir de Broulert’s attendants rush to riverside to recover their leader. You feel no ill will against the man and genuinely hope that he recovers. [50% chance Sir de Broulert survives. Sir de Broulert has a high opinion of you.]Ride or die.
>>4202414Oh that's right. I'm almost forgot about the penance that we will have to do during our next vigil. I pray to the Almighty that we don't critfail it.
>>4202341>Our Vidra family relatives will help us if we meet them especially after we avenged Sir Jaskier Vidra.no one you know but perhaps Mother would be more familiar with relatives on her side of the familythey might be relatives it's not certain and i don't think it's custom to send money to someone for accidentally killing the one who accidentally killed one of yours. Also even if that was the case it would take time to tell mom, then for her to tell the relatives and then for them to arrange a reward/bounty to be sent our way or paid out by contacts.
>>4202411I don't want to rely on might when it comes to the long walk, its the most difficult and brutal part of the pilgrimages by far and has remained like that despite the order Comitas's efforts and several Crusades adamants>>4202417That would be easier to do if we were taking our time so we can track with all our affairs in order but unfortunately thats not the case.If we can't make money in Pascae we are probably either going to forgo new equipment or settle our affairs in Canton.>>4202414>Emille ''Thunderstruck'' AndreiIt would be hella interesting if we got struck by lightening, our travels plans could very well go out the window with it if we don't fucking die from it.I wonder if we could burn a reroll to crit?
>>4202435I was talking about the possibility of meeting our Vidra family relatives who are in Port Bounty itself mate. They will definitely hear of us coming to Port Bounty after our duel here.>>4202453The Long Walk is not in Port Bounty though. It's in Nova Cathago.
>>4202453>It would be hella interesting if we got struck by lighteningImagine if the Almighty blesses us with lightning powers similar to that of Bristlecone's.
>>4202459Yeah and? its our next destination after port Bounty which is the point of concern.>>4202461>Get hit by lightening >Get magic powersI smell witchcraft
>>4202234>“Well don’t just stand there, fools. Help him!” You watch on as Sir de Broulert’s attendants rush to riverside to recover their leader. You feel no ill will against the man and genuinely hope that he recovers. [50% chance Sir de Broulert survives. Sir de Broulert has a high opinion of you.]God demm that was a fight, though i would have voted to conclude the fight once we got dismantled for the last time but you lads pulled it though.Unlucky about this kids av rolls going to end up killing him, hope he lives.We gota get the plums
>>4202463True, it's a point of concern. Best to think about it once we reached Cathagi though.>>4202463>magic powers*Holy divine powers
Isn't Salve Regina's tomb located in or near Port Bounty btw? I personally would like to visit it.
>>4202467I disagree better to think of it now while we have a decision to make about the expenditure of our wealth and reliable provisons of equipment can be bought.but each to our own
>>4202469It's suppose to be in one of the caves along the coast, strange its not marked like Adams with a site.we could probably go looking for it but it would likely take too much time.
>>4202475It wouldn't hurt to try imo.Another thing I'm intrigued to know about is what happened to Cain and his massive army. What in the Almighty's name happened to him? Where was his departure headed to? His fate is unknown unlike the fates of Salve Regina and Adam.
>>4202475Probs under the lighthouse where all the lighting happening and only someone that gets hit by it and lives can find the tomb.
>>4202481oh I'm not objecting.Caine & his Army hopfully crusaded so hard they went to the pit and put DOOM to shame.at worse something far fouler than the BCQ ending befell them.>>4202487That would at least explain the unprecedented supernatural Phenomena around the vigil that takes place at the base of the lighthouse.>Get hit by lightening >Angels are now realer then when we fought Agony>''Yo Andrei God says you dope''
>>4202234>“Well don’t just stand there, fools. Help him!” You watch on as Sir de Broulert’s attendants rush to riverside to recover their leader.

Sir de Broulert has a high opinion of you.]I will take one roll of 1d100 to determine the young knight's fate.> 50 DC
Rolled 89 (1d100)>>4203278
Rolled 81 (1d100)>>4203278lemme handle this one
>>4203283FShouldn't have fucked with us Knigga
>>4203283Oh shit...
>>4203283RIP>Backstory for Shekel Knight v2.0 set in stone now.
Rolled 78 (1d100)>>4203278just curious
>>4203322yeah thois kniggga had no chance RIP FVCK
Damien is going to get off with a slap on the wrist compare with what mother is going to do with us when we get home.
O O F
well rev up your saving face dice because these kniggas will be out for blood after this
Rolled 56 (1d100)>>4203278Ahha omg he passes all his av rolls then this?DemmLike do we even go back home? Couse mums rage is going to be something....
Rolled 47 (1d100)>>4203278Was it ever possible?
Hahaha idealist knigga killing people left and right
>>4203278I gotta say I think the chance for us to murder people in friendly duels is abit much.
>>4203457if the dc was 80 he would still be dead knigga
>>4203278feels like we are being punished for rolling good
>>4203462Combat can always turn deadly, the knigga also kill someone while jousting last spring.
>>4203462I would more think he is being punished.
>>4203283Goddamit a flower of Chivalry & one of the few Kniggas who could keep up with us dies after our duel.why can't we be killing copperclippers instead of the good Kniggas?
>>4203621anons wanted belligerent balanced or guarded would of left him at wounded but they wanted to win
>>4203630To be fair we couldn't harm him before.
>>4203630Who TF has a duel where they want to lose.
>>4203643>wanting win more then making sure a good man doesn't die welp you made your choice i just disagree with that choice
>>4203630I don't think thats how that works
>>4203659at most balanced can do 3 damage at most belligerent can do 4 damage always expect the worst in forgotten's quest
>>4203678ahh dangit you're right
>>4203678the worst thing is i have seen harder rolls in more happy go lucky quests for some reason forgottens quests are cursed and love drama
>>4203657Then you shouldn't be a Knigga, since you aren't willing to put your faith in the Almighty nor risk death for honour and glory.
>>4203711we really need a new meme like pic related
>>4203278Can't he burn one of his re-rolls or use that Second Wind miscalculation re-roll? There's a very good chance that he would've survived if it weren't for Forgottens's own mistake.
I know we've had a lot of combat but I am really curious to see how Mikails fight is going to go. I wonder if Forgotten will write it out story wise or if we'll step into our squires shoes and take control directly
>>4204048> Mikail gets SLAIN by golden knights squire
>>4204076Fucking imagine that. Oh boyyyy
>>4203283Oh damn it all. This is a challenge duel that ended when someone yielded or was injured without killing permitted. I legit feel like absolute shit for killing him, especially after he has shown himself to be an honourable knight. Why did it have to be this chivalrous young knight? Just damn it all.
>>4203278>>4203283Ah shit. Rest in peace young knigga. No one will ever challenge Emile to a duel ever again unless it's to the death or they have too.
>>4204109*to
>>4204109The way I see it, him having a low opinion of Emile if we used the Knucklebone to save him means that he preferred to die.
>>4204135I mean shit happens in duels, it's an inherently risky activity. I'd bet that he probably didn't intend to kill that Sir Jaskier either.
>>4204076>every duel after this is too the death>brother dies >mikhail dies>niel dan marc dies>new khight bro dieswe are alone in the world again
>>4204145at least we have Je->Jess dies by CainitesAll alone
Should we make the effort to return his body home to his family?
>>4204190we are gonna be on peoples shit list better to be off and leave well enough alone >dragon guard can't soon enough
>>4204190We have to repay his honourable fair act during the duel somehow. It would be unchivalrous and a cunt move not to.
>>4204190Depends on how far away it is but we need to do something. Maybe hold a vigil for him
>>4204201A vigil for him sounds like a good idea even if we don't end up returning his body.
>>4204205We're doing the vigil at Port Bounty already, we can set some time aside then
>>4204190I would presume his friends would do that.Also, you just gotta know that means we're going to end up killing another family member in a duel.
>>4204197We could swear an oath not to duel for our own profit or honour, only for others or when challenged.
>>4204211Woah woah woah, lets not be hasty. If we're ever going to afford better equipment dueling is the way to go on the short term. We've just been... "lucky" so far, it wont always go that way... surely.... I hope
>>4204209eh being the one to return the body after slaying them feels better than just fucking off with little remorse displayed to the family.
>>4204190>>4204228Sure kinda like how Ned returned Sir Arthur Dayne's sword to House Dayne as a sign of respect. We should also return his lady's favor back to her.
>>4204241Oh mate, you just reminded me that he had a waifu in love with him like Gabriel and Josephine Daubeny. Thanks, I feel like shit even more now.
>>4204214Or we could hunt monsters.
>>4204258I'm absolutely down for that, I'm just thinking we're likely short on time before leaving Port Bounty. Duels would be a quick way to make (or lose) some money. That being said, its not the end of the world if we just pay off our debts and move on from here. I'd love to get some plate armour finally but it's not the most important thing in the world
>>4204252We could send him back with the blade he returned to us during the duel. It'd cost 1 wealth, but it would be a nice gesture.
>>4204269After breaking the blade, that is.
>>4204190I don't think so.He had to of know just how dangerous duels were given that he had killed a man in one.He choose to die harassing strangers on a bridge, it doesn't really warrant any further interest.
>>4204303This
>>4204269I don't think we should be throwing our wealth away on gestures given our current circumstances
>>4204379What is the worth of wealth? Was this knight not worth the sword he re
