Many leagues to the East, in the Slithering Wastes and Montbrun borderlands

The scalies had been on their tail for days, ever since they picked up the last stragglers from Freetown, but it was that morning they finally closed the distance with Tracker Jean’s caravan. For the convoy, it was now less a question of whether they could shake the scalies off and more about choosing where they’d make their last stand. Jean had picked out a rocky outcrop with a commanding ridgeline over a steep approach. A nice spot for archers, but far from impregnable. Oh, well. It was good a place to die as any.

But it looked like even that choice was going to be denied to Tracker Jean and her caravan. The snakemen had caught them out on the steep approach up the ridge, trapping the convoy with its back against the steep rocky slope leading out of the killing ground. Snakemen weren’t exactly famed archers, but even the few they had were reaping a horrific toll on the crowded refugees and caravan hands. Their aim was terrible but at this range it hardly mattered to the packed crowd of caravan guards, refugees and horseflesh. The scream of horses and the pained cries of the wounded was already drowning out the hisses of the rapidly approaching scaled horde.
Tracker Jean, chewed her gum until it bled. She wondered if she should give up on their attempt to reach the top of the ridge and circle the caravans now. Probably too late even for that, in a few moments their slithering infantry frontrunners would be in among them between the wagons and it would be all over. Even a tactical novice knew that you’d need heavy infantry to have a hope in dry hell to stand up to the snakemen up close. Wastelanders were guerrillas and light cavalry, whenever they were inclined to some violence. Her people just didn’t do heavy infantry.

“Uh…Boss?”

“Looks like this is it, Berric. Some of us might get away, those ahorse at least. If we cut the Mustang stock loose and drive them around…”

“Boss!” Tracker Jean turned to the where her normally obedient orderly was pointing, covering her eyes at the sunlight streaming over the top of the ridgeline. The glint of the sun on metal proved to Jean that her spirits could indeed drop even further.

“Oh fuck me, you mean they’re already on the ridge above us?”

“I don’t think them scalies have that kind of cavalry…”

“Knights of the Broken Blade!” The knight, and Jean had met enough knights in her time to spot them, bellowed with the voice of a general commanding an army. “Form up on my lance and ready the charge!”

All along the line, thinly spread but in a fantastic position uphill, the zealous knights echoed the commander’s calls and pull into formation. Although their leader had to be some great high-up noble by Jean’s reckoning, his force was barely two-score armoured horsemen. Not nearly enough to make a difference, but if anything, the galling odds they faced was having the opposite effect on the knight’s taste for a fight.

“Forming up the lance! Cain guide my blade!”

“A good day for martyrdom, brothers! Lance formed, ready to charge!”

“By the Saints, look at all those disgusting lizards! Let me at them!”

The leading figure in red and gold slammed down his visor, couched his lance and spurred his destrier onwards all in one motion. “For King and Saint Cain!”

“Cain! Cain! Cain!” The cry of the knights as they charged in unison down the ridgeline, so genuinely eager to close with a Foe that had them so sorely outnumbered, caused Tracker Jean to wonder whether these knights were half-mad or half-wits.

It was like something out of a stupid Cantôn children’s story. Emile Andrei had mentioned their kind, though the young boy-knight-slash-one-time-pillow-warmer had spoken of them with a kind of awe rather than the wariness sensible people reserved for the insane. Tracker Jean still thought them mad, but she had to admit that these lunatics in armour and on horseback can do a whole lot of damage when charging into an enemy downhill and in disarray.

It was one of the craziest things Tracker Jean had ever seen in her life. Fourty lances tipped down in unison and one could see the naked terror in those repitilian eyes of the foremost snakemen facing their doom, miles from where anyone would expect to find Cantônian heavy cavalry. The Duke Montbrun’s knights didn’t patrol out this far in the Wastelands, nor in such numbers.

In a handful of seconds these battle-mad knight had slain twice their number and then some, the snakemen were reeling in confusion. But there were still many, many more snakemen. Hundreds. Too many for even the insane bravery of the knights to overcome.

"We should make a break for it. While them scalies is distracted." Berric was eyeing the melee warily as the knight's charge began to lose impetus, already an island of steel in a sea of scales. “Ain’t gonna get another chance like this, boss."

The Cantonian faith is uniquely monotheistic in this setting, even the Cathagi beleive that the Dragon is just 'their' living, breathing god rather than the only God.

According to Sir Andrei's faith, the Almighty crafted every blade of grass and every hair on every beast's head. That said, vile creatures such as snakefiends, beastmen and the Fae are merely further evidence that we live in a fallen world. It is up to to the faithful to reclaim it.

If the terrain is open flat ground, they should retreat, charge again, retreat again, charge, retreat, charge, etc whilst Jean's archers provide cover for their retreat. Cavalry throughout history used their superior mobility to charge numerically superior opponents multiple times in open flat terrain. This let them to inflict massive, massive damage. An example of this is the Battle of Klushino (4 July 1610) in which Polish forces numbering about 4,000 men (of which about 80 percent were the famous winged Polish hussars) defeated a numerically superior force of about 35,000–40,000 Russians. In battle many formations of hussar units charged 8 – 10 times.

The arrow fire from Tracker Jean's archers won't harm or have any effect on the Broken Blade knights thanks to their armour. However, their horses are another story unless they have barding like pic related. Besides, Tracker Jeans's archers are competent and have an advantageous high ground position. They'll know to concentrate their arrow fire on the Snakefiends who're not engaged in combat with the Broken Blade knights.

>>4354859
Nah, they're valid options because Forgotten had written them as so. But it leads to playing a very similar character. Moreso when we only get a Jean choice every once in a while.

I would rather vote the Heart option than the Haughty, as it seems more in line with a merchant, though.

>>4354859
I guess I would have rather had the Haughty write-in tie it into "Not letting others pay for my escape" or some other relation to her identity as an eastern barbarian or something. The way the write-in was done made it feel way too much like Emile's "Fuck you I fight who I want, dost a Knigga not know how to dance in the dueling ring" Haughty options.

>>4354905
Something other than going from "These Kniggas are crazy for CainCo-Puffs" to "Fucking ponces, let's show them up"

Anyways. It's just my personal opinion so w/e people gonna vote how they vote.

Call it Wastelander stubbornness, call it a hate of the scalies that were chewing up her family’s territory. For whatever reason, cutting and running just didn’t sit well with Tracker Jean at that moment. With a commanding position at the top of the ridge, and no shortage of targets to choose from, the fire from Tracker Jean’s archers and slingers was having a withering effect on the swarming mass of scalies below. No volleys, Wastelanders were an individualistic people and tended to call their shots as they saw them. With their heavy armour, the odds of aEven the barding on their horses, an item Tracker Jean would have called a useless encumbrance if she ever saw one, now seemed to be a very pertinent piece of equipment indeed. If any of the knights or their horses went down because of her people’s arrows, Jean didn’t see it.

With the scalefiends distracted, some breaking away from the melee to rush up the ridge itself, the knights were able to extract themselves from the main crush largely in one piece. Tracker Jean didn’t reckon this barmy lot as the kind to hit it and quit it, and sure enough formation turned as one for another charge. Some still had their lances, unbroken from the last sally, but most were now relying on their prodigious horseflesh and drawn blades to exact a further toll on the foe. Their leader, the knight in gold and red mounted on a startlingly beautiful white Mustang, must have had his helmet torn off at one point. Nevertheless the shaven-headed madman fought on with wild abandon, bringing his mace crashing down into one scaled opponent after another.

Tearing her eyes away from the scene, Tracker Jean nearly tripped over a corpse on her last sprint to cover. Her trusted man Berric already lay there, a lucky scalefiend shot having taken him right through the eye. Tracker Jean sighed, a deep melancholy settling in as she fitted and loosed an arrow straight into the throat of the closest scaly clambering up the ridge.

It looked like today was going to be a very long day indeed.

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

The battle will be long and bloody, though the caravan itself will survive intact along with the tethered Mustang stock. The profit margins of the investors are secured, but heavy casualties to both the Wastelanders and the Order of the Broken Blade will have an adverse effect on their operating capability in the years to come.

Rolling for the Duke’s Ball

The Duke’s Ball rolls will commence 24 hours from now, with the next four days covering the interactions from each arena. I will call for rolls for one arena (i.e. 3 selected interactions +1 counter-intrigue), and then write-up how the results for that arena played out and post them the next day.

I would like everyone to have a fair chance to participate in the rolls of this event, so in the interests of giving everyone a fair go each ID can only roll ONCE in each arena. So you can roll for an interaction each in the Courtyard, Banquet, Dance Floor and Ballroom but NOT more than one interaction in each arena. That seems like a decent way to spread out the rolls a little to me. I will NOT be accepting 1 Post ID rolls, I think everyone has had opportunity enough to participate in the first vote of the thread. Re-rolls can be used at the initial rollers discretion, with the assumption that regenerated re-rolls are used first. Any call by the initial roller to use a Save (not a re-roll) will be put to a flash vote.

Yes, though losing the value of your investment in Tracker Jean's caravan would have been a real possibility. Or at least any chance of a meaningful profit.

I'm going with this because this is what Grandmaster Godric would want. He'd wish for nothing more than to die a martyr's death while fighting.

Both the Prime Serpent's ambitions and power will be significantly reduced for quite some time after suffering this terrible defeat. This means that while the Broken Blade Order won't be able launch any offensive actions against the Prime Serpent for some time, the Prime Serpent in turn won't be able to launch any offensive actions for sometime too until he's recovered from this terrible loss. That will allow the Order of the Broken Blade time to replenish themselves and be ready once they're needed.

I think the that it would be a better story for him if the grandmaster died having a 1v1 with the Prime Serpent.

THAT MONEY IS GOING INTO REPARATIONS FOR THE DECEASED. ANYONE WHO DISAGREES IS A COPPER CLIPPER

>>4356161
I don't think any of us honestly expected when we made that deal that it would end up as a potential sacrifice to mitigate either the fight against the Prime serpent or losing someone we cared about.

Some time*

Another thing I would like to add is that the Order of the Broken Blade is the largest order in all of Canton, larger than the Knights Comitas and the Order Reginae. They do not lack for numbers and certainly won't after just losing forty lances including Grandmaster Godric.

>>4356163
I think Jerome St. Thomas would be worthy of that too. The Order of the Broken Blade have already elected and selected a worthy, prepared candidate to become the next grandmaster in the future.

>>4356164
I definitely agree and support. They gave their lives to make sure the caravan's cargo was brought safely. I would vote and choose to help them in any way we can as it would be a cunt move to just take the money and go.

>>4356104

They probs used to be the largest order when cain was leading them, but now it seems they have lost alot of members if all they had to thow at the snakes was 40 and they choseing there next gm from among those that wore apart of that fight. They dont have unlimited numbers like you seem to think.

You voted for Haughty becouse you wanted jean to have a cool last stand moment and save all the money.

>>4356242
well why is easy, we didn't know the prime Serpent was on the rise then and while we knew snakemen was a thing we clearly didn't know them as anything but a faraway nuisance.

We should have realised something larger was at play when they were at the Banquet but hindsight is 20/20 I guess.

I'm really interested in this Grandmaster character, he's a total badass and I'd like him to survive. I think he has potential to become a force to reckon in the future. (the guy litterally has the balls to behead the favorite of the Queen because he simply doesn't like him)
Alas I think most anons will want Tracker Jean to get out of this situation alive (because muuuh waifu) and will sacrifice Godric.

The world needs Grandmaster Godric more than it needs Jean.

>>4356248
Still dont think they are as big as you think they are, as im sure that the grandmaster would have taken as many as he could to go argest the snakes.
Not like cain numbers and most ordos dont have that many numbers to start with.
How many do you think they are?

>>4356282
Great question
>... the Order of the Broken Blade can call upon over 200 knights, and twice that in well-equipped man-at-arms, more than most lords.
That's a lot of third, fourth, and fifth sons.

>>4356282
this was almost certainly a vanguard force, maybe one sent to safeguard refugees fleeing the Snakeman advance, the bulk of the Order could likely be garrisoned in or near the Torwatcher gate if they aren't already on the field.

I just realised if they've called upon the majority of their order in this endeavor Romanie may be more than a little Vulnerable.

>>4356265
I havent read that in ages so il go read it durning my lunch break. Still though if you had hundereds of people to call on for this then y wouldnt you? Using just 40 lancers is silly unless he wanted to die.

I mean if you wanted to vote for the option that had the best chance for everyone you would have voted to unless the horse's.
Im not playing the guseing game so you can tell my way you voted for it if it wasnt for greed or bloodlust.

Though ima stop going on about this as its done and im kinda just bitching, hope that the ball gose better.

I voted for Haughty because I thought the results for the choice picked were gonna be determined by rolls. I would've voted for Hearty if I knew that Haughty was gonna have a pre-determined result since I would get a good idea of what sort of pre-determined result Haughty was going to be.

where did you find this as its not in the Faith & Politics Pastebin: it just says they are the largest not how many they got.

Romanie should be fine for a short time with all the lords fighting, isnt it time that the dead went back to the Ile for a rest soon?

Still each of theis lancers are rocking close to 10 welth each in gear even if 10 died thats about 100 wealth.

If the grandmaster dies and there a snake hord on its way down would you all vote for us to go foght them over joing the dragon

With your choices, much more civilians will die in the future.
Hell, picking Jean here doesn't even make her die, she is still alive but simply injured while killing the grandmaster is defunitive and will have a real negative impact on the war with snakesmen.

Nah senpai, she knew the dangers and she chose to take on the extra people slowing the caravan down. None of that is on Emile

>>4356729
No but that is on us and if we people had chosen to let the horses go this wouldnt even be a choice right now.

>>4356738
Us yes, but not Emile. We play as Emile but Emile wasn't the character who made the choices and he shouldn't suffer for it. Its all about playing in character.

>if we people had chosen to let the horses go this wouldnt even be a choice right now.

And we didn't, we played Jean as a ruthless wasterlander who cares a great deal about her mustangs and her profits over the lives on some Cantonian knights. But that's not Emiles problem, nor his fault.

>>4356738
Tracker Jean made that decision anon, not Emile, not some esoteric "we", and judging from the option that was picked it was out of some sense of pride
And her employees that died consciously accepted to be paid to take part in these risky expeditions, sometimes it doesn't work out, that's life

>>4356744
I wouldnt call her 100% ruthlessly as she did take on the people she found in the wastes instead leaving them there.

And i naver talked about emiles having anything to do with her at all so so i dont know way his getting brought in.

>>4356746
Tracker Jean made that decision??? Uuumm how did she? We voted on what she was going to do as shes a made up character and can only do what forgoten makes her do based on the stuff we talk/vote on so how is this all her fult then?

Would Emile copper clip or spend his money that Knights and civilian died for so he can have it? If we are REALLY playing the character, Emile would definitely give it to the needy and their families..

>>4356729
Nah, it's actually on the muderhobos and copper clippers like this one here>>4354381 who didn't want to lose Emile's investments or just simply wanted to murderhobo. We have this choice right now because of that, not because Jean took on extra people.

>>4356744
And we didn't, we played Jean as a ruthless wasterlander who cares a great deal about her mustangs and her profits over the lives on some Cantonian knights

We didn't actually. Had we played Jean as a ''ruthless wasterlander who cares a great deal about her mustangs and her profits over the lives on some Cantonian knights'', then we would've gone with Cynic. We picked Haughty because we didn't want to lose Emile's investments and because we wanted to help the Broken Blade knights so they won't die here.

>>4356771
>I wouldnt call her 100% ruthlessly

Nor would I, no one is 100% anything but people of the wastelands are hard, ruthless people as is necessary to survive.

> And i naver talked about emiles having anything to do with her at all so so i dont know way his getting brought in.

>Naver

But seriously, its getting brought up because you argued against keeping the money for Emile due to the fact that we as players made the choice to hold on to the horses and fight. The choices we as players make for Jean shouldn't influence the choices we make for Emile. Emile didn't hold on to the mustangs, Jean did. Therefore any decision about keeping the profits from our investments should not take into consideration what we as players chose for Jean.

>>4356772
>Would Emile copper clip or spend his money that Knights and civilian died for so he can have it? If we are REALLY playing the character, Emile would definitely give it to the needy and their families..

It sort of depends I think. Obviously it'll only be a consideration if Jean tells us about it. If that happens I can see him having sympathy and donating the money, he's shown a lot of empathy obviously but he does occasionally show haughtiness and callousness for those beneath him. He may, in the moment, decide that Wastelanders dying to protect some horses is both foolish and something they signed up for, something they knew the risks of. Not super likely I admit.

>>4356773
Very subtle of you to link my post and call it murder hoboing. I didn't pick that option to be a "Murderbhobo". I picked it because it made sense for me in character for what Jean would do. She's spoken at length about the mustangs and about how harsh and difficult life is out there. I saw her as a person who would fight for that and ensure she didn't lose her stock.

>We have this choice right now because of that, not because Jean took on extra people.

It was specifically pointed out when Jean made the choice to take on extra people that it would slow the caravan down and add extra risk, likely ensuring that the scalepeople would catch up so...

>We didn't actually. Had we played Jean as ... blah blah

Look, you seem upset but the choices were made and obviously we each have our own take on why it happened. I wasn't even thinking about Emiles investment when I voted because I had forgotten entirely that we'd made any investment with her.

>>4356772
Anon, he's just using post ad hoc to justify going with Haughty for the purpose of keeping Emile's cargo. Jean, the Wastelanders, and the knights would have gotten out of this alive safe and sound if we had just chosen to dump the Mustangs on the snakefiends. We didn't because we didn't want to lose Emile's precious investments as that would've been the only thing we were going to lose by going Hearty.

>>4356842
Yeah you definitely seem a bit upset. Maybe go have a nice warm milk and a lay down. I didn't even remember Emile had investments in the mustangs

>>4356819
>I picked it because it made sense for me in character for what Jean would do. >She's spoken at length about the mustangs and about how harsh and difficult life is out there. I saw her as a person who would fight for that and ensure she didn't lose her stock.


Nah, you picked it because you didn't want to lose Emile's money pure and simple. This shit is just post ad-hoc.

>It was specifically pointed out when Jean made the choice to take on extra people that it would slow the caravan down and add extra risk, likely ensuring that the scalepeople would catch up so...

Which has absolutely nothing with why we have this choice right now. We have this choice because we voted not to sacrifice Emile's investments even if it would have guaranteed the safety of both Jean and the knights, not because we took extra people. Switch going Haughty with going to Hearty and we wouldn't be here.

>Look, you seem upset but the choices were made and obviously we each have our own take on why it happened. I wasn't even thinking about Emiles investment when I voted because I had forgotten entirely that we'd made any investment with her.

I don't believe you for one millisecond.

Oh well I guess you know me better than I know myself, that's cool.

I'm going to stop reading right here because obviously you're one post from having a temper tantrum and I honestly don't care what your opinions are on the choices I've made. If I wanted to protect the investments, I'd have said so. The choice has already been made so it makes little difference. This conversation isn't going to get us anywhere but banned from future choices so I suggest we drop it

>>4356881
>This conversation isn't going to get us anywhere but banned from future choices so I suggest we drop it

Forgotten should focus on ''banning'' the samefags in this quest rather than people who argue.

>>4356880
>Damn you all greedy copper clippers to the pit.

It ain't just copper clippers mate. It's copper clippers and murderhobos. Hearty meant no murderhoboing and losing Emile's dosh. Copper clippers didn't want the latter and murderhobos didn't want the former.

The anon I replied to above tried to justify it with some ad-hoc nonsense about how it is IC for Jean because she is ruthless (even both of the choices we had with her go against this) and cares about Mustangs (Common all over the Wasteland and not rare whatsoever) and her profits (even though they're the investor's profits like Emile and not her's) over the lives of the knights (even though she aided them in the battle rather than go Cynic to just leave them to die and save her own skin).

I don't think its out of the ballpark of possibility, however its impossible to really prove so theirs really not much point in complaining as all it does is produce a shitshow that we should be better than.

>>4357260
I know that this vote has more voters than usual. For most of the previous threads we usually log ~30 votes for day long votes. The final ball vote had 32 votes. This one has 40+ votes already. Suspicion is warranted.

>>4357266
>Well let's just hope that they aren't samefagging and that people have some form of integrity on an Indonesian basket weaving form.

>>4357254
Not bothering to samefag, too much effort. Either way, one vote burnt out here counts as a post for the next set of votes, so whatever. This one's going to be pretty loaded regardless, and I'd rather have my next ready to go when it comes to not fucking up all our interactions at the ball.

This an unfortunate example where removing the 1 post IDs without a prior linked vote results in a different result than the base count (though still by a narrow margin). If you have just joined the thread and this means your choice was not selected, I apologise. Removing new IDs from the count is the best weapon available to me as QM to ensure that votes are not samefagged to oblivion. I will not call a flash vote because I think it's time to get cracking on the Duke's Ball rolls.

As others have pointed out, these forty knights are a vanguard of the Broken Blade. Even if every single one was slain it would not doom the order, though losing the cream of the crop of their holy knights would be a staggering blow indeed.

Sandag, 4th Day of Acrimun, 883 A.C.E., Port Bounty – Evening
The Duke of Pascae’s 198th Annual Ball
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvFH_6DNRCY - Palace Grounds Arena theme

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

I do not view it as possible, even with a genuine apology and persuasive charisma, to actually obtain Lord de Broulert’s sincere forgiveness for the death of his favourite son. That said, this roll will be more aimed at making an impression on those watching you in the courtyard and your handling of social etiquette.

The Palace Grounds: Persuasion Roll – Lord Jeremiah de Broulert
> Reasonable Request (public apology) / Lower Social Standing
> 40DC
> Wealth +5DC
> Fashionable Attire +5DC, +1 Re-Roll
> Write-in (apology) +10DC
> Save Face +1 Save (single use)
> Foreign escort (-0DC)
> Lord de Broulert: Noble Privilege, +1 Adverse Re-Roll
> Lord de Broulert: Fashionable Attire -5DC, +1 Adverse Re-Roll
> Lord de Broulert: Wealth -5DC
> 50DC

Double Fail = Lord de Broulert would see you destroyed. Vengeance will be his.
0 = Although your intentions may be sincere, your delivery is clumsy and could even be viewed as a crass attempt to rub your victory in a grieving father’s face. Lord de Broulert will jump on this chance to denounce you. -20DC to Counter-Intrigue in this arena. -5DC to interactions with those of Pascae origin.
1 = Such an apology was always going to be awkward, and open to inflammatory remarks. Lord de Broulert is not dissuaded from his goal of seeing you ridiculed for your part in his son’s death. Counter-Intrigue attempt in this arena will continue as normal.
2 = No one who witnesses your sincere condolences to Lord de Broulert can fault your behaviour, though the grieving father will still attempt to find whatever fault he can. Lord de Broulert’s goal of seeing you socially embarrassed is more likely to paint him in a negative light than you. +20DC to Counter-Intrigue in this arena. +5DC to interactions with those of Pascae origin.
3 = Lord de Broulert abandons his attempt to formally denounce you at the ball. Not only does he not attempt to denounce you, he is forced to publicly accept your apology. This paints you in a good light and is a delicious bit of gossip for the locals. Counter-Intrigue attempt for this arena cancelled. +1 Re-Roll to interaction to those of Pascae origin.
Double Success = Lord de Broulert bears you little personal ill-will. Only social expectations demand his antagonistic behaviour.

3 rolls of 1d100, gentlemen. You have ONE re-roll and ONE save. Your opponent has TWO adverse re-rolls.

Lord de Broulert, please accept my sincere condolences…

Rest in peace Grandmaster. I wonder how many Grandmaster Godric took down before he fell.

The 40 Broken Blade knights will suffer some casualties during the battle, but not all of them will fall obviously. Some of them should survive.

Since the news of Grandmaster Godric's death should spread all over Canton and reach all of Canton pretty quickly, Emile will learn of what happened in the Wastelands very soon.

>>4357399
Shouldn't the extra lightning penance that Emile did for the accidental death of Sir Broulert have an effect on our interactions with Lord de Broulert? I imagine it'll grant bonuses in the interactions since it shows that Emile is genuinely repentant and remorseful over the accidental death of his son through his actions.


>>4357402
Can I roll in the upcoming interactions then?

>>4357399

>>4357410
>Can I roll in the upcoming interactions then?
Yes, no worries.

>Shouldn't the extra lightning penance that Emile did for the accidental death of Sir Broulert have an effect on our interactions with Lord de Broulert?
Not for de Broulert, but it's going to have dramatic implications for others. Also, as I understand, doing the full penance was decided upon even before you arrived in Pascae. You did elect to make it even more dangerous following the duel.

>>4357411
A save can turn any fail (crit, double or otherwise) into a pass.

You only have one for the entire evening, so be careful how you spend it.

>>4357399
>>4357412

>I do not view it as possible, even with a genuine apology and persuasive charisma, to actually obtain Lord de Broulert’s sincere forgiveness

>Not for de Broulert

Why? Emile literally took a lightning bolt to repent for it. Actions speak louder than words. That should show definitely show that he is sorry for it.

>>4357414
m8 we don't go around flaunting that we stood out their because felt bad no one knows that we took extra penance for his death save tobray

>>4357414
oh fuck lets not spend it here, we're outgunned for this.

>>4357414
Would you expect Emile's father to so easily forgive someone who killed his son, even by accident?

yeah that save can stop a 100 even tho from the rolls here it looks bad im not sure i want to use it yet

>>4357415
>no one knows that we took extra penance for his death save tobray

There is now way he does not know about it. Forgotten literally said here>>4357412 that people know about it.

>>4357417
If it is Emile who initiated the challenge, the death was accidental, and then the one who killed him later took a freaking lightning bolt as penance for it, then yeah I absolutely expect it. We didn't even court Lady Maria Hewitt out of respect for him. Actions speak louder than words.

>>4357420
>If it is Emile who initiated the challenge, the death was accidental, and then the one who killed him later took a freaking lightning bolt as penance for it, then yeah I absolutely expect it. We didn't even court Lady Maria Hewitt out of respect for him. Actions speak louder than words.

I heartily disagree, you are looking at this as a rational bystander rather than how a grieving father might process the situation.

>>4357420
Btw, in the interest of pushing this forward I will happily accept a roll from you now.

Also shouldn't the fact that we chose him as literally the first person to interact with in the Ball to apologize mean shit?

>>4357421
>I heartily disagree

Then you're an imbecile frankly. Actions speak louder than words even to a grieving father. Taking a lightning bolt and refusing to court his fiance even though it's a traditional custom should definitely factor into it.

>>4357434
he's gonna fuck us but no double so he could forgive us eventually
unless QM thinks 0 success = double fail effect

>>4357433
I’m not even inclined to do so with the counter-intrigue. By design of the ball, the most important conversations will be had at the end of the night. Imagine if we fuck it up totally with the prince or bishop,

Alright we completely fail the first interaction, get -20 DC for the first counter-intrigue, and -5DC for all interactions with anyone from Pasace for the rest of the Ball. This is going to be great.

>>4357429
>m8 the guy lost his favorite son acting as if hes thinking rationally is foolish and in real life some people do hold onto their grief and anger regardless of what you do

>>4357429
Already addressed this shit excuse and justification to make all our repentant actions and choices for the accidental death meaningless. Actions speak louder than words even to a grieving father. Forgotten gave us +10 DC for the write-in (pure words) but gave us literally nothing for taking an extra lightning strike as penance, not courting Sir de Broulert's fiance, and choosing Lord de Broulert as the first person to interact with.

Not a great start, but those were some fairly subpar dice there. You will have the opportunity to wipe out the detriment to Pascae interactions when the Counter-Intrigue comes up.

>>4357436
0 =/= Double Fail

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

No doubles fail at least. But still, fuck.

>>4357436
yeah I misread that, still bad but not as.

If this is how it is for just Lord de Broulert I don't even wanna see the pure BS Forgotten has prepared for the other interactions like courting the Princess and Lady Frida Vancewell or persuading the Crown Prince, Duke Pascae, or Bishop.

The Palace Grounds: Persuasion Roll – Sir Robert Gilbern

> 75DC

Double Fail = Sir Gilbern is convinced you have your own agenda but, so long as your interests align with that of the Queen, this is perfectly fine.
0 = Sir Robert Gilbern has seen you involved in far too much to entirely trust you, let alone vouch for your brother. He isn’t entirely convinced that you are a Faction agent, but he also does not believe that you and your family aren’t playing their own game like Lord Alderague.
1 = Sir Gilbern knows you to be a good knight, and does not wish to see your house attainted. However, he is not willing to put his neck out for your brother. You can expect little help public help from him, but you also doubt he will be purposely steering the Ordo Reginate’s resources towards persecuting your household.
2 = Sir Gilbern allows himself to be seen in conversation with Young Lord Damien Andrei, massively assisting in your sister’s plan to no longer have Damien be viewed as a social leper. He regards this as a political favour, and considers your family in the Ordo Reginate’s debt. Failure to support the Queen by your family could cause issues down the line, but this is a small price to pay to see the heir of your house welcomed back into polite society. Mother will be pleased.
3 = At the social event of the year, something as innocuous as a brief handshake between the Second Herald and a Young Lord can more effectively dispel rumours of royal disfavour than any public proclamation of amnesty. Sir Gilbern regards this as a personal favour to you, in expectation of your good service in the Cathagi Court. Furthermore, you can expect that Sir Gilbern will vouch for your good character in the upcoming church inquiry.
Double Success = Your sister Roselyn and Sir Gilbern are both rapacious political animals. They appear to hit it off.

NEW ROLLERS PLEASE! 3 rolls of 1d100, gentlemen. You have ONE re-roll and ONE save. Your opponent has TWO adverse re-rolls.

Things are going downhill fast. Not only is your Reginate 'friend' decidedly neutral regarding your brother reintroduction into society, he is convinced that House Andrei is definitely making some sort of play in the deadly games of court.

At this rate, Emile might be jumping on the first ship out of Canton, sit down in a Cathagi cafe and wait for the whole thing to blow over.

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

Why the hell would Sir Gilbern even use his adverse re-rolls against us? Does the fact that we're comrades who fought together and had each other's backs mean nothing? Is it the Pascae copper clipper blood in him manifesting?

He'd have to be pretty paranoid indeed to conclude that you were a Faction agent, but it's also not impossible that there are factions within the Faction (pardon the pun). At this point the 3rd-party player is the more likely conclusion he will draw.

Interesting, to me at least, how this might affect your role at the Cathagi Court.
