“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
Many years from now. Not far from home…“Good to see you again, minstrel.” The innkeep waved the man in, too busy with other customers to pay the wandering troubadour much mind at the moment. “Take a seat by the fire, my better half will be along with some food shortly.” “I could never be kept away from here too long, after all this is my favourite tavern on the road!” The troubadour inquired hopefully. “Sausages?”“Vegetable stew, more’s the pity.” The innkeep replied with a shake of the head. “My meat stock is fair slim this week, and reserved for paying customers mind you.” “But what of my songs and stories?” The troubadour bemoaned, settling down to his favourite spot by the fire. Regulars of the premise knew that the minstrel sooner started with his stories once he was comfortable in his favourite spot. “Not to mention I have sung the praises of this place high and low through the better part of the kingdom, why for such stunning advertisement you should be paying me for the increase in customers!”“Vegetable stew.” The innkeep replied gruffly, he had no time for the bard’s usual chattiness this busy evening.The troubadour smiled warmly at the innkeep’s wife when she got around to him, her good-natured wink drew his attention to the extra sausage she had snuck onto his plate. Seeing this his smile only widened, wondering what chapter of the Bear of Romaine he should recount for the audience tonight. He noticed a few young couples, and no shortage of neighbouring farmer’s daughters and sons eyeing each other up. The story would have to be a good one, maybe of the knight’s escapades and romantic exploits in Pascae. Tonight’s audience deserved no less.This was, after all, his favourite tavern on the road.
LETS FUKCIN GO.I LOVE YOU FORGOTTEM
First for fucking Vancewell
Monegan, 5th Day of Acrimun, 883 A.C.E., Port Bounty Docks - After Midnight> Once you have completed the Final Vigil you will join the Drakon Roloi, the Dragon Guard. A place of honour in the ranks of the mightiest warriors of all the lands, allies at courts both foreign and domestic. It is a call to adventure, and it has the added advantage of keeping you out of the Prince’s mind. And keeping you away from the Paladin Sanguine. [Hearty]It must be nearing midnight by the time your carriage arrives at the Vidra galley, the Litany of Solace, waiting down by the docks, though the Patrikas Ianthe makes no complaint regarding the short detour. Damien passes you a small slip of paper, to pass on to Lady Rabe before she leaves town. It even bears the House Andrei seal, Roselyn must have it (or more likely a copy) somewhere on her person.“When did you even get the chance to write this?” You ask teasingly, well aware that Damien and Brunhilde Rabe had hit it off during the ball.“I had to have a little sitdown, take a break from the festivities and networking. I’m wounded don’t you know?” Damien puts on an air of injured innocence. “Yes, hard work talking to my friends pretty sister. Must have been so taking.” You grin, enjoying your brother’s flushed face and caught-out expression. “You two did seem to get along rather well. Don’t worry, I approve.”“Well why wouldn’t you? It was more your rugged mountain friend who I was wary of upsetting. And I like her. She’s pretty, she’s interesting to talk to and she’s… she’s nice.” Damien finished lamely, much to your amusement.“I’m sorry, I couldn’t hear the details of your boyish infatuation over the words Iron Markets. Men, really. But yes, I quite like the little chatterbox myself.” Roselyn rolls her eyes, but your ally in sibling-teasing swiftly turns to stab you in the back. “And you’re one to talk Emmy! Don’t think I didn’t watch your little ‘Catch the Swan’ scandal with Frida Vancewell. Scandalous, they’ll be gossiping about that for weeks to come.”“Yes, I was a little confused myself. That’s not the -same- Vancewell whose brother you…?” Your eldest brother makes a tsk-tsk sound, the tables regarding needling one’s siblings have turned in his favour. “Cain on the Cross, Emile. You really can pick them! Ros, would you ever be seen dancing with the man responsible for the demise of either of your brothers?”“You? It’s a veritable mark in their favour. But little Emmy? On principle, no. But with an inheritance like that…” Roselyn coos, gleeful at you visibly writhing under the combined nettling of your elder siblings. [1/2]
LITERALLY FUCK VANCEWELL
[2/2]“Be careful though Emmy, your little crush is a viper posing as a woman. And I’m using that only as half a compliment to her.” Your sister continues, a more considered tone in her voice. “I doubt her bite will carry too much venom during your stay in Cathagi, but if she’s not wrapped up by some other suitor by the time you get back… well, it could lead to trouble. And opportunity. That Daubeny girl is the safer bet, though a little boring.”“I don’t know, I think she was sweet. But kind of sad, like…” Damien seems to struggle with finding the right word.“Like a kicked puppy?” Roselyn interjects.“Ros!” You snap as Damien laughs, more at your discomfort than at Roselyn’s description of Mademoiselle Josephine Daubeny.“She’s only teasing, brother. You know she can’t help it. Besides, I think you cheered her up some. My little brother, a lady’s man. The Almighty really does enjoy surprising us.” Damien shakes his head, but his rueful smile gives way to a more serious tone. “So you’re set on this stay in Cathagi? I never doubted you’d finish your pilgrimage, of course, but a couple of months away from home is far different than a two-year stretch in the Dragon Guard. Two years, Pit damn it… I’m going to miss you, little brother.”“And I you, big brother.” The two of you embrace, thumping each other’s back. You and your brother have always been close, but the last few months facing all manner of danger and rough travelling together have strengthened that bond like steel in a forge. True, you were doing him a favour, but you know in your heart that there is no one in Almighty’s creation that you would rather have at your back.“What? No hug for your big sister this time? Come here you big oaf.” Roselyn is doing a very good job of hiding her tears, but the tightness of her voice and slight sniffle betrays her sisterly worry as she holds you tight. “Be safe, Emmy. We will be praying for you. Every night.”==========>You have arranged for Courageous Sky to be transported home with your siblings. He will be distressed by the separation, and you won’t be able to rely upon him until after you have completed your pilgrimage, but the ability to send correspondence directly home from Cathagi (admittedly quite a trip) will be invaluable.

We should see if we can route communications through Sir Gilbern via Courageous Sky in Pascae/Aubrey as a show of trust. We can also tell him deliver them to Roselyn as his point of contact. Give her a push to flirt with him in person/via letters and they will be married in no time.

Hey cunts. I am the fag that plagues these threads. I think that the fact that Forgotten didn't use a few rerolls during this one fight means the entire quest is railroaded. On top of that, Forgotten is, quite frankly, an imbecile because he (and 90% of all other players) disagree with me on this minor thing.I will now argue with you for 200 posts about the color of Emile's socks. If you disagree with me I will call you montbrunfag. This is a reference to some argument I had back in the first threads which I expect you to have followed for some reason.Now I will proclaim that I'm quitting this quest for good (im not ill be bakc here right away)

They've saved our asses multiple times in the past, and will help us a tonne in Cathago. It'll be rough not having a safety line back home, but even if it takes substantially longer, our family could arrange secure means of communication vis a vis the Vidras or others. Plus, potential intercepted letters in the meantime is bad, but risking losing a Griffinhawk in the transit to Cathago without us there? Not worth it in my eyes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1Ao8DwpGRc [Embed] – The Litany of Solace sets sail>You have decided to keep Courageous Sky with you, to be transported with Hannibal and the rest of your gear when you set sail for Cathagi. Having a direct line home would be useful, but your winged friend would be better suited by your side during the dangers of the voyage and that slaver city of Nova Cathagi. Not to mention that few ship lookouts have the boon of an imprinted Legatus Griffinhawk assisting him. [Courageous Sky retained]There is no unmanly shedding of tears during your family's farewells, it is not goodbye for ever after all. You watching the departing figures of Damien and Roselyn slip up the gangway with a stoic forbearance, you only have to cough once to loosen the tightness in your through.You had briefly considered arranging for your Legatus Hawk to be ferried away home with your siblings, but eventually decided against it. Courageous Hawk has imprinted on you, a privilege that even breeding and wealth alone cannot easily buy. Your feathered friend has proven his mettle time and again, you will not put that beautiful creature through any stress or hardship that wasn’t unavoidably necessary. The issue of a more mundane channel of communications home is a small price to pay for his watchful eyes and protective companionship. Where you go, he goes.By the time you return to the carriage the Litany of Solace has already lifted its moorings and drawn away from the dock. The whistle of the deck shift change coincides with the signalling from the Port Bounty harbour lighthouse, a significantly more modern and pragmatic construction than the Old Lighthouse further up the cliffs. Although the harbour is easy to navigate it is still unusual for a ship to leave after the dark, but there is no alarum from the lighthouse and the Vidra Captain Wojcek seems to have arranged his late departure through the appropriate channels. Or at least greased the right palms. There is no last-minute platoon of armoured men in Reginate colours or Faction hirelings to prevent the ship setting sail. Even if those sides had been of a mind to ignore public opinion on Young Lord Damien’s return, your sister’s swift departure schedule has given them no time to organise an abduction. [1/2]
[2/2]All very wise, of course. But you find yourself distracted as the carriage pulls up to the villa of the Patrikas Ianthe, coming to terms with the knowledge that this is the last time you would see any of your family for years to come. The Patrikas Ianthe’s voice brings you back to reality, her scented foreign accent drawing your attention as surely as honey lures a bear.“Thank you for you gallant assistance this evening, young man. Your attentions were instrumental in my sale of information, not to mention flattering for an old woman like me. Would you like to come in for a cup of khave?”“Khave?” You query with a puzzled expression, offering the Patrikas your hand as she steps out of the carriage “But that would probably keep us up all night.”“Yes, I suppose it would.” You didn’t see the Cathagi information-dealer’s expression just now when she spoke, but something about her tone makes you pay sudden attention. The Patrikas pauses at her villa’s doorstep, giving you a scrutinizing look from head to toe. After a moment of cool assessment, her eyes lingering on your prominent biceps under the taut fashionable attire, the exile speaks. “I have a heavy old book I’ve been meaning to read. Compedium of Cathagi Castes and Origins in History. I’m sure we could pass the time perusing a chapter or two.”========================================> “I appreciate the offer, Patrikas, and I have enjoyed acting as your escort tonight. But I must regretfully decline. Perhaps we can talk tomorrow after breakfast, over khave?” A more chaste meeting by daylight is your preference. You can still attempt to glean some useful information from the Patrikas then, without having to resort to ‘pillow talk’ as Roselyn so crassly put it. [Haughty]> “Well… in the interests of education, Ma Belle Ianthe, please lead the way…” You’re beginning to suspect that ‘would you like to read my book’ is some sort of universal female line from the Wastelands to Cathagi. This doesn’t seem to be a long-term entanglement, and the Patrikas really is quite fetching for someone her age… [Hearty]> “Compedium of Cathagi Castes, you say? Actually, I have that exact same book at my own residence. There’s really no need to lend it to me. Besides, I really don’t think I could get any sleep after a cup of khave at this hour.” Lady Maria Hewitt lent you that book, you really should give it a read. [Idealist] I’m willing to write this as Emile being incredibly thick or purposefully turning down the amorous offer.

>I'm reading through the history books of Sworn to Valour's world. Which names am I sure to come across? (Salve Regina, Adam, Cain, and the Dragon are the obvious answers but any others?)Aubres, Pascae, Montbrun, Fallavon and Ardenne were all major characters contemporary with Adam and Cain, most of which sided with one or the other when the brothers were having their dispute (according to doctrine). Some died with Adam during the Siege of Aubrey, others (and their descendants) struggled to pick up the pieces following Cain’s self-imposed exile. I’ve just realised that I haven’t read their actual names since the vigil at Adam’s Martyrdom, so I’ll need to verify who the founders of these houses actually were.Relevant to our knight, the most famous figures he would surely know of would include Lady Magdalena Romaine, who later went on to found both the Duchy of Romaine and the Order of the Silver Rose (yes, yes ‘knight waifu gib’). Picking up the sword and shield of her fallen husband as the Deadmen clambered over the walls, she and her own handmaidens waded into battle as the knight and soldiers of her own household fled in terror. Shamed by the bravery of their womenfolk, the men threw themselves back into battle with reckless abandon to make up for their moment of cravenness. It was the first castle in the whole of what was once Ardenne to not fall under the onslaught of this new horror, and would prove the turning point in Night of Three Sisters. Knights favoured by the Duchess often bear sigils depicting a maiden with one arm covered in gauntlet and vambrace. Although Cathagi customs such as tattoos are usually shunned in your Duchy, not a few knights have this sigil tattooed on their own skin, such is their dedication to the descendants of Maagdalena.>What are some common names in Canton? I'm really surprised that aren't many Cantonian men named Adam or Cain.Calling yourself after the main founders of the Cantôn Faith is considered pretty presumptuous, if not outright sacrilegious, though plenty are named after other saints canonized since then. The exception to this would be Mater Reginae, the Queen and Head of the Church, taking her title from Salve Reginae. Emile wouldn’t be aware of this esoteric theology, but there is much debate among monks whether Salve Reginae was her actual name or also a title bestowed after the fact. All Duchy houses (except Romaine, being the newst) are named after major disciples and followers of Adam and Cain. Kind of like how Catholics everywhere except the Americas rarely named their children ‘Jesus’.[1/3]I know there is a new map-bro creation, I just didn't have it saved.
[2/3]As for common names, I’ll admit I’ve taken the influence straight out of common European names for different countries. Pascae = Spanish/Italian; Aubres/Fallavon = English (rarely Dutch); Montbrun = German/Austrian, Romaine = Polish/Hungarian. Nonetheless, in any given Duchy a french-influenced name would not be out of place. I put this down to french (Cantish) being a descendant language of the original Cathagi tongue, but freed slaves had a habit of adopting their own family name in the years that followed their emancipation.>The sight of a lit-up christmas tree makes people think of a warm home, and good food. What are some cultural touchstones in Sworn to Valour's world (specifically Canton), that makes people think of warmth, merriment and so forth?The celebration of a nameday (normally six calendar months after the birth of a child, given the infancy mortality rate) is the most recognisable occasion during the . The Stonewatch watch in Montbrun is especially sacred, and frankly barbaric, leaving a toddler at the foot of a stone for a night with only torchlight to keep away predators. If they perish, they were never strong enough to survive the life ahead of them. This is the same for everyone, low and highborn. Fallavon, on the other hand, does have a sort-of Christmas tree in the form of Aeltin Trees. Gifts are usually left at the feet of this otherworldly plants, and sometimes they prove to be an unofficial tradepoint between the common folk and the peoples of the woods.We have already covered the Motte-Fallavon Festival, and the Summer Tourney is another big event each year (though the one you will miss is estimated to be exceptionally grand). Canton’s version of Christmas and the Nativity would most likely be that of Salve Reginae raising her two sons. Usually this is a depiction, most often carved, of her watching Adam and Cain play at her feet. This answer in particular could lead to some shocking interpretations in Cathagi. Most depictions show her without any marks of torture other than a blindfold, perhaps to say love is blind? Sadly, as the date of this celebration falls on the same anniversary of the Night of Three Sisters, this is more likely to be a time of mourning for our young knight than one of warmth and merriment.
>>4405634>I know there is a new map-bro creation, I just didn't have it saved.Feel free to use it or not, I just made it for my own fun
>What about funerals? (How are they performed? Who is invited? How significant are they? How are the dead honoured? What happens to their body? Are they given a stone, a cross, a...?)As we have already established, in Romaine the dead are burnt without exception. Some of the grisliest capital punishments involve staking out a condemned man within the borders of Dread Ardenne itself, a fate worse than death. Your Father goes a step further and orders rites to be performed and the slain Deadmen as well, albeit en masse.The Montbrun prefer crypts, buried deep beneath the mountains with their ancestors. Even peasants are walled up in cairns rather than buried in rocky soil. Aubrey and Pascae are more typical of medieval funeral rites, only the wealthy get something so privileged as a tomb. The rest are buried. Fallavon is the same for the most part, but some of the more Fae-kissed and ‘old way’ types prefer to leave their dead deep in the forests beneath the root of a tree to return to the earth naturally. >Among Canton's historical kings, who among them was the greatest?The name of the first Generalis Rex is lost to history, but the final one who solidified it into a dynastical postion and joined the union of church and state with Mater Reginae was King Marcus Aubres the First. His sweeping reforms changed Cantôn from an eclectic range of petty kingdoms and freeholds (albeit with a common tongue, species and faith) into a single powerful nation. From then on, at the conclusion of the War of Names, the rule of man was never seriously challenged by the Wild. His vision was hardly as enlightened as Adam’s dream, introducing feudalism in increments, but pragmatic and effective enough to ensure mankind’s domination of the continent for the next 600 years. >Who among them was the most terrible? Who among them reigned the longest? Who among them was the most pious and devout? Did any of them go on a crusade adamant and led one?King Caspian Aubres the Third was widely considered an ineffective fop and dismal ruler, the disaster of Ardenne’s fall was contained in spite of his leadership rather than because of it. King Lionel Aubres the First championed the first Crusade Adamant though rumour has it his wife was the one who truly ruled at court, so he could arguably be touted as the most pious and devout. That he shares the same namesake as the current Crown Prince is an irony probably not lost on Emile. King Marcus Aubres the Fifth led an ill-fated Crusade Adamant against Dread Ardenne, not the first but most decidedly the last given that it ended in utter disaster. Since then, only the Reclaimant Sect (many of whom are Romani) have pushed for further incursions into that cursed land.I'm aware that I haven't answered all questions as fully as I possibly could, but that was pretty much an update in itself. Happy to answer more questions, but I'd prefer it if they come in one at a time.
>>4405641Cheers! And are you kidding? >pic relatedMaybe I'm not a bad writer but my map-making is hardly a competitor to your work. It's almost as ugly as the first BCQ skill chart.
>>4405658To be fair Wonderdraft (the software I use to make maps) makes it significantly easier to produce nice looking stuff. I definitely couldn't have made it just freehand or something
>>4405639>The Stonewatch watch in Montbrun is especially sacredthis is grim shit, kinda explains Rabe's and Vancewells outlook on things being put through that as a babe
>>4405679Makes me think of the Spartans and their rituals around forcing even children to prove their strength and worth or perish
>>4405658>>4405643This might be a little too indepth but how is the flow of trade between Norsikaa, Langland, Canton and Cathagi? Is there a silk road to the east from Cathagi or it goes deeper South?
>>4405683except Babes don't even have the abilities of a child to even do that, honestly as forgetten says its Barbaric and backwards.>>4405687I imagine thats how Ardenne became so wealthy, being the nexus point of trade between the wastes, Carthaggi & whatever trade comes from the everwarm seas and Canton.
>>4405679>>4405683>>4405690>Stonewatch watchJust the Stonewatch, to correct my own typo. And yes, it is indeed a harsh experience. Depending on the region, it can be highly ritualised or truly grim. There is a big divide between old school Montbrun houses and those looking to embrace the more civilised elements enjoyed by the rest of the continent.>>4405687Romaine and Cathagi are not on trading terms. Typically, the same ships that raid for slaves in Romaine sell Cathagi goods in Pascae (and to a lesser extent Aubrey). Norsikaans, like your typical viking types, are 50/50 on whether they raid or trade at any given destination. Langland is a trade powerhouse, and a stalwart bastion against piracy along the western ocean. Any piracy not permitted by them, that is.There is a silk road of sorts stretching south-east from Cathagi, but the lands of the Everwarm waters are largely unknown even to learned Canton scholars let alone our young knight. You will very likely meet warriors from these far-off realms during your tenure with the Dragon Guard and I will even present the option of electing to travel there and go really off-the-map, to places where no one has even heard of such a thing as a 'knight', if that is what anons truly want. I suspect the desire to return home will win out though. That said, I've learnt the hard way not to cement my QM plans too much. t. Vermillio, Skalds & Albani Warmachines..

Not quite as inimicial to life as the Sahara, but certainly treacherous to all but the nomadic desert tribes that reside there. They vary from Bedouins-types living in tents to formidable steppe hordes, both a threat and a valuable source of mercenary recruitment. Keeping the desert-folk divided is an important ongoing concern for the ancient city that once demanded their vassalage.

The only time we have had sex so early in a relationship was with Jean, and we got cold feet afterwards. I doubt we would be so eager for another one night stand, especially when we already have interest in other woman and we will probably be seeing this woman in Carthagi, complicating matters. We can get information out of her and have a good relationship with her without being fuck buddies.
>>4406027We flirted with her before. There is precedent for the continuation of the pursuit. Make an old woman indulge in the fantasy that young men still like her.

>>4405982We are staying in this city for a few more days so the booty call can happen over the next few days and the milf sex tonight wont change it.
Can we visit the markets once before we leave? I mean I know we have being busy as hell but have to see whats on sale on Pascae at least once.
>>4406046this desu
>>4406047Im down for a market day, we and everyone around us have earned it.Mybe get that plume.
I feel like it might be a problem that the non-coomer vote is split between two choices while the coomer votes are all in one bucket. I'm sure a lot of voters have a strong preference that the other non-sexual vote win's rather than bedding the milf
To all anons:Please, jerk off before you vote.
>>4406062>he doesn't jerk off during the votewhat a pleb
>>4406059This.
>>4406059Good point.
>>4405565 Fuck it, I'm switching to > “Well… in the interests of education, Ma Belle Ianthe, please lead the way…” You’re beginning to suspect that ‘would you like to read my book’ is some sort of universal female line from the Wastelands to Cathagi. This doesn’t seem to be a long-term entanglement, and the Patrikas really is quite fetching for someone her age… [Hearty]
I hope all realise Lady Vancewell will get pregnant.
>>4406087While Ianthe is a magic user and likely barren
Non-coomers need to fuck off to akun and set the filter to Teen and search by the 'nolewds' tag. Seriously, edge yourself for an hour before voting, you can only coom afterwards.
>>4406090What on earth are you rambling about? I genuinely don't understand.
>>4406099A coomer's rebuttal to this line of thinking - >>4406062
>>4406087Otif we learn the ways if not cuming in her and other sexual moves of the sliver fox.Even if vincwell gets with child pretty sure she going to gank it in the womb.
I just want anons to stop thinking with their dicks when its not in character, because when they get there way and go against character, they will keep doing it while saying its in character now, because once they vote to have sex at every opportunity, they will defend themselves by saying that that's what the character has been doing before, only they have only been doing it because these people have kept voting for it. Emile still isnt there yet, only having sex once in story and getting cold feet after wards, with the other flirting being closer to the opening salvo for courtship than a sexual proposition and I do not want anons to change him into a womanizer because they want him to 'extract information like James Bond'.
>>4406106Not like Abortificants don't exist, also pic related for rich and powerful Nobility dealing with unwanted pregnancy.
>>4406108Ah, yes, the "It's not in character" argument. Glad we're getting this out of the way on the second vote.Knigga, Forgotten doesn't give options that "aren't im character". Write that on the back of your hand so you see it every time you try to type in the argument that an option "isn't in character".
>>4406108Also I'm voting for sex because Ianthe is a sexy older exotic woman and hey, we did lay the groundwork during the ball. Might as well lay the pipe afterwards.
>>4405521This is me >>4405566, changing my vote to Hearty. The other anons are right, there is no need to deny ourselves if she wants to go forward. >> “Well… in the interests of education, Ma Belle Ianthe, please lead the way…” You’re beginning to suspect that ‘would you like to read my book’ is some sort of universal female line from the Wastelands to Cathagi. This doesn’t seem to be a long-term entanglement, and the Patrikas really is quite fetching for someone her age… [Hearty]
>>4406113Ge willikers Batman, I never thought of that. Just like how I never thought that giving into ones rage during a duel would be in character, as tensions rise during such things and we could slip, but precedent indicates that iw would be MORE IN CHARACTER for us to to calm the fuck down. Now that I think about it, maybe it would be more in character for Emile to control his emotions and not act like a 16 year old who has been getting eyes from their hot teacher. Or perhaps you could tattoo on your hand "just because its a legitimate option, doesn't mean that there arnt better legitimate options".>>4406115We were polite with her. We flirted in a respectable manner. If any woman shows an interest in her and is halfway decent, are we going to plow her? We can also take the groundwork that we have made to simply have a good relationship with her without having sex. Why complicate matters when we can get information and an ally without resorting to the basest means.
>>4406120Kind of goes against the spirit of our vows not to have bastard children. Yes, I know she is older and likely is barren, but there si still the ideals of knighthood, not simply having casual sex on a whim.
>>4406130Yes, but not every sexual encounter results in babies. Pull out, have the awkward talk about moon tea the morning after lets be adults about this unlike last time with Tracker Jean
>>4406090You're the exact kind of voter I'm talking about when I say "jerk off before voting". No, even better, find a girlfriend, and then have sex before voting.You must be the kind of cringe guy who plays ttrpg and derail the story only to fulfill your fetishes.
>>4406136You appear to be missing my point. Even if there is no risk of babies, it goes against the principle of the matter. Knights are supposed to be virtuous examples for all men to live up to. Having sex outside of marriage in general is bad, though its slightly less bad if you are seriously courting someone. We have been trying to meet the ideal of knighthood. And speaking of Jean, both of us were rather drunk then, so we weren't exactly in the right mind to decide if we wanted it to be the start of a romantic relationship. You are also speaking in a way more common in the 21st century of the western world, not a medieval world in high society.
>>4406110There are plants that if you make into tea then drink, will kill the babys.
>>4406145Please, dont attack the character of other anons as a way of explaining their choices. I also am getting frustrated at this vote, but going after the people behind the screen isnt productive and will only make them dig in their heels. While I do think that that might be the motivation of some voters, I just want us to have fun, be cooperative and try to make sure this story has a good ending with as many people as possible.
>>4406155I'm simply talking to him the way he talks to me. Nothing dramatic.Anyway, good to know that there are still anons like who are voting to roleplay the virtuois knight we're supposed to be rather than using a quest to fulfill some fetishes. We may be a minority though since it's summer time.
>>4406087Vancewell is heavily implied to have killed her half siblings in their wombs. If she gets pregnant then the fetus is getting abortus.
>>4406146I see Emile's vision of knighthood as evolving pass most strict interpretations into something more grounded in reality. Not less idealistic mind you, but more personal to Emile if it makes sense. Our peaceful interaction with the Fae and taking Jess with us.
>>4406126> Is worried anons in the future will vote for more banging because "well, we slept with Ianthe" and set a precedent> Argues that it would be more "in character" to not choose an option Forgotten wrote because there's a "precedent".> Trying to weasel that all choices are equal, but some choices are more equal than others.Knigga, you got your lance all twisted. Besides, clearly a Knight of passion with an attractive woman whose company we enjoy with no chance of a bastard is the superior choice.I actually vote against using it for political favour in Cathagi, though, and would prefer to first ask her if she would still support us if we said no, and then answer yes if she says she will still support us regardless.Because that would be romantic and chivalrous and keep the night of fun sex separate from making it a political thing. But I digress.Knigga, we disagree but neither one of us is wrong for doing so. Your argument for why I shouldn't vote Hearty, however, IS wrong.
>>4406160Well we shouldn't stoop to their level. I already slipped and did the same to another anon and I wish I hadnt, even if it does feel good. Im fine with Emile not being squeaky clean and having some flaws, but the journey to always be better will have enough problems and tough compromises without others trying to get him to overcompensate things.
>>4406130As its been said the vow dosnt stop us from having sex or other sexual moves with people only that we dont have kids outside of a wife and no cheating on said wife. So if you do the loopholes you can have tons of sex on a whim.
>>4406155Dude. A) Ianthe uses magic = sterile. B) Emile has a literal Fae in his party, wears the totem of a Monster, and freed Beastmen.I actually think that he does follow a fairly strict adherence to his vows, but I think that means he wouldn't carelessly spill his seed. Like with whores, or random women. I don't think Emile has the cognitive framework to associate having sex at all as being a violation so much as having risky sex being a violation.Besides, not like he hasn't broken a vow before and made penance.
>>4406174>and no cheating on said wife.Okay now I need to know which waifu is Bi.
>>4406165Those have shown us being more open minded and letting us see the worth and merit of others. This is us having casual sex with a noble. I dont see how this relates to a positive evolution of knighthood. Temperance is a virtue, and while getting drunk with friends can be a bit excessive, it has yet to get in the way of our goals and responsibilities. This meanwhile appease to just slaking our baser impulses under the pretense of information that we could probably get from her anyway. We have already begun to court two other women, so going straight o having sex with other woman seems like it a bit cadishA general question to the the anons wanting Emile to have sex here: What exactly is your reasoning/motivation for this choice. Im not accusing you of wanting this quest to be driven by fetishes or anything like that, I simply want to know why.
Is the no-fun police in action
>>4406176which waifu is Bi.Well probs more then we would think.Noble ladys are known to have female lovers, as having children and a husbro is something you have to do and you dont always have a say in the matter.
>>4406179Because Emile is relative young and human. And is not inconceivable for him to want to have an intimate encounter with an attractive older woman.
>>4406176Obviously not Daubeny, she’s too timid. Maybe Tracker Jane.
>>4406145Relax dude, I was acting like exactly the kind of guy you were trying to criticize. Read my post again->Non-coomers need to fuck off to akun and set the filter to Teen and search by the 'nolewds' tag. Seriously, edge yourself for an hour before voting, you can only coom afterwards.I hope I had came off as sufficiently sarcastic, but apparently not.
>>4406182I mean I could see that, I'd quibble over having a same sex lover while being married making you bisexual though but whatever.>>4406186Tracker Jean strikes me as someone who likes her stallions not her mares
>>4406186Tacker jean is a mybe but im leaning on that shes all about dat dick.Sliver fox and vincwell im pretty sure eat the pussy.
>>4406174Some loopholes found it the Vows can help us find compromise amongst them and stay true to the spirit of the Vows without breaking them. Not every loophole helps keep the spirit of the Vows. What would our dear confessor say about this? Would he approve of our reasoning? What about if we encounter a knight who is courting a woman, but clearly have sex with multiple woman on the side? If he has no bastards and he is yet to marry, then according to the by the book interpretation of the Vows, we is doing no moral wrong, despite it clearly being not the case. Just because we can , doesnt mean we should.>>4406176You are really not putting up a good defense that many of us our only voting to satiate our own lust.>>4406180So, trying to avoid unnecessary complications means im against fun? Shall we wander back into Fallavon because there is more complications awaiting us and that would be fun? Or should we try to use a love potion on the Princess and have sex with her, oh im sure that will lead to lots of Fun. Just because others are voting differently from you, doesn't mean that we are agonist this quest being enjoyable.>>4406184Yes, and that is how I have rationalized him going after the known viper and bitch Vancwell. But just because you want something, doesnt mean you must pursue it. I want to get the ice cream I have in the freezer out and have a bowl, but I know that it isnt the best idea to do it. I t may only be one bowl, but it will make it easier and easier for me to have more and more. Restraint is important. Vancwell has the excuse of being one of the choicest peices of ass in the kingdom and a high up noble. The Carthagi lady is older(still god looking) and has far less to her name. If we would have sex with her, than why not any other noble who propasitions us?
>>4406190being married making you bisexual.I understand that having a husbro and kids dosnt make you bisexual, as the lady could just be lesbo but has to have kids as thats differnt then wanting ether sexual partner.But itl be hard for us to really know looking from the outside.
>>4406192>than why not any other noble who propasitions us?Because we actually like her and have an amicable relation her unlike any other noble who might proposition to us.
>>4406192I haven't read any of your posts, or addressed you. So I guess you are
>>4406198So, talking for two days with a lady and being friendly means that we should accept the propositioning? Because that is largely what separates her from any other random woman we meet.
>>4405521>“Compedium of Cathagi Castes, you say? Actually, I have that exact same book at my own residence. There’s really no need to lend it to me. Besides, I really don’t think I could get any sleep after a cup of khave at this hour.” Lady Maria Hewitt lent you that book, you really should give it a read. [Idealist]Thick as a brick>>4403725This was me Love me some waifu wars. We're getting on Mass Effect level of waifu wars Daubeny best girl
>>4406200I apologize if I was making too many assumptions. You were not replying to anyone, so I hazarded that it was a general message about those who dont want Emile to go to bed with the Cathagi woman since our stance could be construed as the more "no fun allowed" stance instead of the other side. Sorry if I came of as an ass.
>>4406192Meh I asked a question over a curiosity of the larger discussion, defending the vote or involvment in a argument surrounding it is not something I'm invested in.
>>4406209Sorry if I jumped on you man. Just a bit on edge, not necessarily due to the vote itself, just the supposed reasoning behind some votes. Its just that I was worried that there were some anons who would view a woman being bi as a major reason to marry them, rather then an intersting, if small, bonus.
>>4406155Honestly? To coom. I'm not gonna lie and prerend I give shit about being a true honorable knight and staying true to vows, codes, and oaths like other anons whilst actively undermining them. Only reason they don't just break them is because they dont want to lose the mechanical bonuses of the knights codes. Emile's already not a virtuous knight anyway. He tortures prisoners and suspects, abducts people, courts an evil woman, lies, is a raging retard, and kills opponents in non-lethal duels because he doesn't want to concede defeat. If you care about rolepaying, precedents, and staying in-character, this quest is not for you and you haven't been paying attention. They don't matter in this quest. Many anons including me have already stated that they dont care if they're being in-character or not.
>>4406176Rabe.Sir Rabe.
>>4406230Heh, here is what I was saying. This quest is full of redditors voters who don't give a fuck about the story and the characters and for the "lulz fun waifu". It's too bad because Forgotten is probably the best QM on this board but his quests always seem to attract that kind of voters who like to derail the story.As I said, it's summer time.
>>4406230>He tortures prisonersNo, though we was willing and going to, so while it is an issue, Emile can still reel himself in.>abducts peopleI cant think of anyone that he abducted that wasn't a criminal who was bringing to court or someone who tried to kill him.>courts an evil womanI am admittedly against it, but it can be rationalized as him being young and virile and her being extremely attractive. Plus, while he has heard of her bitchyness, actually seeing it would have far more of an impact and chance of getting thru his skull.>lieshe actively went and sought penance for it, so hes not aiming to make it a habit. >is a raging retardAt times, though several occurrences only look noticeably retarded in hindsight, rather then suspect in foresight.>kills opponents in non-lethal duels because he doesn't want to concede defeat. Only once, he wasn't certain if he would die and he felt like shit about it afterwards.You make valid points, but the implication that you are making is that Emile is the scumiest of scum and a stereotypical black knight. You are overall being disingenuous and have admitted not caring whether Emile's actions are in character and thus if they even make sense. Actions that a PC makes must be , to some degree, in character. Overall, the actions Emile has made have been within the periphery of the options that comprise his developing character. You meanwhile seem to have zeroed in on those from isolated incedents just to excuse your desire.
>>4406251>>kills opponents in non-lethal duels because he doesn't want to concede defeat. >Only once, he wasn't certain if he would die and he felt like shit about it afterwards.Not to mention our opponent was intact the moment before it happen. A good lesson on how a duel can turn lethal in a second.
>>4406230Forgotten does not deserve this
>>4406230Is this the guy who was throwing a tantrum towards everyone at the end of last thread?
>>4406230Faggot
>>4406336That guy cared about in character descisions and raged that pepole werent putting thought into their choices. This guy appears to not care at all about character and seems to think at that each error we have made is indicative that Emile is the archetypal Black Knight and has the character of a copper-clipper.
>>4406337Smellls like samefagging.
>>4406354Smells like someone wrote a strawman to rage against.Or an Anon who genuinely thinks that way. Since the other 30 votes for staying the night have good reasons for doing so, I feel it's cherrypicking if you choose to only argue against him instead of everyone else regardless if it's someone pretending to be a strawman or an Anon whose reasons coincidentally fit all things you claim to be the secret reasons people are voting for an option literally written in by Forgotten himself, so it's not like he "doesn't deserve" anons who pick the options that he, once again, provided himself.
>>4406337Knibba, link to a previous ID for your vote to count.
>>4406376Yeah, he could be a strawman. If so, than I wish that he would stop. I try to convince people to my way of thought via attempts at reasoning, rather than making it seem that the other side is nothing but a bunch of idiots that want to degrade the quest. While I think there are some like that, I assume that the large majority are invested in the quest and want things to turn out alright. If he is real , than he can just get bent.
Pictured: every StV thread. Always remember that Forgotten died for our sins.>>4406397I commend your sincerity, but be prepared for disappointment.Ceterum censeo Fallavonem delendam est.
>>4405521>> “I appreciate the offer, Patrikas, and I have enjoyed acting as your escort tonight. But I must regretfully decline. Perhaps we can talk tomorrow after breakfast, over khave?” A more chaste meeting by daylight is your preference. You can still attempt to glean some useful information from the Patrikas then, without having to resort to ‘pillow talk’ as Roselyn so crassly put it. [Haughty]Cant believe I missed this thread up for several days already.
>>4406409I just want people to enjoy the quest, play fairly and relatively courteously, for us not to do stupid shit because it sounds cool, to keep Emile's actions to be sound(they can be in character yet still lead to bad ends) and for Emile to have a happy ending. Ive grown invested in this quest. I may have only caught up to it at our entrance into Pascae, but thru reading it, I found a Quest that I have waited for an update daily and in the meantime though of what would be the best choice to make. Forgotten has clearly put a lot of love and though into his world and characters, and many anons are similarly invested. I am only afraid of anons either having no though of the aftermath of our actions, trying to do things that out of context sound cool and impressive, but in context sound as if they are stupid, or simply rage at things not going there way and want to sabotage everything just so they can say they were right.I love this quest and I hope that I can continue to love it for the next few years.
>>4406230It's called adding nuance and complexity to a character by having flaws. This is beyond retarded.

As an aside, the grown-up haughty rejection would have gone down better with the Patrikas than the idealist thick-headed rejection (feigned or genuine).

>>4406677coom brains can't roll for shit
>>4406849He says, after that wild Vancewell success.
>>4406852that wasn't a coomer roll, the was a courtship roll.learn the difference.
>>4406854to be fair we still need to get to the coomer roll for vancewell, so that's going to go swimmingly
>>4406868>Nat 100>Murdered while having sex like in Gone Girl (you know the scene)
>>4406868Do we need to have a coomer roll for Vancewell? Can we just try to enjoy sex like we did with Jean and not do intrigue?
>>4406878Did you think of someone else and type Vancewell by mistake?
>>4406878you know damn well that if we fuck her there's gonna be a coomer roll
>>4406881No I meant what I said. This is an intrigue roll that takes place on a bed. We don’t have to engage in intrigue to fuck Vancewell if she has nothing more to reveal.
>>4406666I mean im happy my vote one but 0 passes and a double fail omfg is our boy the one getting pumped tonight.Hope we learn something from this for the vincwell booty call.
>>4406899See, you keep saying Intrigue doesn't have to happen but then you say Vancewell and I'm concerned that you might not know who that character is.
>>4406902> Ianthe puts a finger up Emiles asshole> He screams out the whole conspiracy about the Sons of Sin in an orgasmic release.

>0 Success> Double Fail>Your lack of practice aside from one previous short-lived tryst leaves you ill-prepared for a woman of Ianthe’s… experience. The Patrikas sucks you dry. Of information.The Patrikas Ianthe is no blushing maiden, nor does she exhibit the sparky firebrand attitude of your previous tryst with Tracker Jean. The Cathagi exile is a different creature entirely, despite your initial confidence in the bedroom you swiftly realise that she is the one taking the lead here. Not that she seems to mind.Teasing you at intervals with her womanly wiles, which age has done very little to diminish, Ianthe makes habit of pausing at particularly sensitive moments. Her silvery eyes watch you carefully, amused at your boyish determination to attempt to set the pace. You didn’t think a mere woman could pin down a man of your stature like that, but one position or another leaves you particularly vulnerable. You suppose you could throw her off, if you really tried, but that would probably ruin the fun. When you cry out at the first sally, you know you’re losing ground. By the third, your muscles are burning and you are as tired as if you had spent the entire day at the tiltyard. And still, the foreign witch with her rapacious appetites does not relent. She purrs with pleasure when you answer her coy questions, innocent at first. About your childhood and the like. Not a topic you thought would be raised in a boudoir, but everyone has their own kinks. Later you realise that she was steering the conversation, in particular towards the Port Bounty investigation, all the while giving information of her own. Intimate certainly, but not anything an information-dealer would put a price on. “That thing you did, with your mouth…” The next morning, the sheets drenched in sweat and an olive-skinned beauty draped over your chest, a few hours of sleep leave you no less utterly drained. “Is that…?”[1/3]
“Trade secret.” The smell of sex lies heavy in the room, and Ianthe’s fingernails scratch your chest. Much more gentle than last night, that’s for certain. “Did my young βόρειος βάρβαρος learn a thing or two last night?”“I did, much to my chagrin.” You glance down at Ianthe’s amused expression, one eye concealed by her now-loose silver hair. “What? A gentleman should ensure he properly satisfies his lover, if nothing else.”“Oh don’t be so hard on yourself, γλυκιά μου.” The husky woman’s voice tickles your cheek as she speaks. Her hand trails from your torso further down, beneath the blanket. “You have a lot to learn as a lover, true. But after a thorough inspection I can assure you that you have all the necessary equipment.”A slight squeeze causes you to cough and stir, only to leap up in shocked embarrassment as one of the villa maids arrives with a tray of steaming hot khave and some toast. If the maid seems at all surprised or mortified to find a strange man in her mistresses’ bed, she gives not the slightest indication of it. Ianthe seems amused by your embarrassment, patting you on the buttocks to indicate you return to bed and join her for breakfast.Breakfast in bed is a welcome change of pace, though the khave does little to offset your exhaustion. Your morning conversation with Ianthe is a mixture of flirtation and warding off one another from giving away too much information. You try to think about what you may have said last night. You certainly didn’t mention anything too damaging, nothing regarding the Angel or Sons of Sin certainly, but you have the impression that the Patrikas Ianthe’s Cathagi contacts might be finding out about the troubles in the Pascae courts a lot earlier than they otherwise might have. You leave feeling not a little bit used. Of course, given your own intentions, it would be hypocritical to direct your ire at the Patrikas. And it was undeniably an eye-opening experience.[2/3]
[3/3]When you get back to your own quarters you order Mikail to run a bath and not wake you before lunch. To his credit the boy obeys without so much as a sly grin. Sir dan Marc and Brother Rousseau pause from their game of cards to grace you with a raised eyebrow, but make no further comment. Your hireling Orin produces a letter for you when your make it upstairs. There is nothing so crass as a seal on the letter from Lady Vancewell, but you have little doubt who the note is from.The De Ver Estate. Sunset. Let yourself in.When you awake there is another message, from Madame Daubeny, Josephine’s mother. This is far more wordy than Vancewell’s love note, if that is what it is, and invites you to a garden picnic in one of the nicer areas of town later in the week. It is likely a heavily chaperoned date, of sorts, as much an attempt to steer her daughter towards an eligible bachelor as it is a chance to make an assessment of the man himself.You wonder if you are playing the utter cad, bedding one woman and then arranging to meet with two others soon after. The Patrikas Ianthe was nothing serious, she made it clear over khave that the encounter was to be enjoyable and fun, nothing more. But Vancewell and Daubeny, complete opposites… you shake your head. You’re not rushing into anything now, not with your intention to join the Dragon Guard, but you imagine that you’ll have to reach some kind of decision by the time you return to the continent. Assuming either of these women are still available or interested, of course.==================================You have time for one visit before the end of the day and tonight’s meeting. This does not mean the other interactions won’t happen later, this is merely a matter of priority. > You head to the Ordo Praetor Commandery, to get an update on what they’ve found in the ledger and whether the Golden Sun Captain has made good on his promise. If he has, you anticipate an arrest on the Port Bounty Butcher in the immediate future. [Haughty]> You call upon Sir Robert Gilbern the Second Herald, who can be found at the Duke’s Palace. His distrust, though understandable, is misplaced. Reaffirming your willingness to act as his agent in the Cathagi court will go a long way in rebuilding your friendship. [Hearty]> Your brother Damien entrusted you to deliver his missive to Lady Rabe. Although she and her brother are not due to leave for a few days, you see no point in delaying your role as courier and furthering along the beginning of their courtship. [Idealist]

Reaffirming your willingness to act as his agent in the Cathagi court will go a long way in rebuilding your friendship. [Hearty]Pretty torn between going with this or Damien's missive right now. Going with talking to Sir Gilbern, because I'd rather us start trying to mend bridges with the Reginate quickly while he might still be a bit flummoxed from the Ball. Strike while the iron is hot, and all that jazz.

A token or something we found received at the ball? That's pretty important iirc

[Hearty]Far and away the most critical issue.The Ordo Praetor seems pretty solid here after busting the Hole, and they probably got a lot of political capital from that to push through any obstruction of the Butcher.Maybe we can send Sky with the letter?
>>4407167We can send someone we trust off with the coin, like the option we had at the Ball.

Delaying it even further will not be good. It's valuable evidence and a clue.
>>4407174>>4407133If we don't see the Praetors ourselves we can still do this, right? Send Neil and Mikhail?

[Haughty]The other anons have it right got to move quickly on Sir Hewitt, despite how much I want to talk to Gilbern.>>4406120>>4405566These are me.
>>4407403> Not pulling Sir Gilbern into the plan to move on Sir HewittHell, we can give Gilbern the coin maybe. Or inform him about it first, so he can plan about it.Oaths and all are cool, but actions work wonders.He just complained at the Ball that he could have used the Ledger if we had given it to him.>>4407133Can we do this?
>>4407434could have used the Ledger if we had given it to him.That dosnt mean that we would have gone after the people on it.More like he would have just used it to blackmail people into doing what he needs for his queen.At lest this way the people are going to get fucked up big time.
>>4407443People want to start working with the Queensmen and Gilbern, that means having to start working with Gilbern and the Queensmen.Shit, think he's gonna trust us if we say we're gonna work with him and then we go and proceed on our own to pull down Hewitt?Whether or not we stay in Cathagi as a DG, if people want to work with the Queensmen then we should do stuff like this. Or at least inform him about it.If you don't want to work with Sir Gilbern though I guess it doesn't matter.Just remember that part of his job is avoiding civil war or foreign aggression due to too many nobles getting arrested at once and instability in the realm weakening it too much.So it IS kinda important for him to be able to deal with things like this.
I don't know why but i have a feeling shit is about to hit the fan and there will be all out combat thru the whole city
>>4407456Im fine with helping him out whwn we over in the dg and having him trust us again.Though i fill that in the interests of protecting the queendom that they will let sick fucks get away with it as long us they can use them for there own ends, which i dont like at all, the kights should be rootinf out sick fucks and putting them down regardless of who they are.Now i know that dosnt tend to happen in all that oftin in practice but we can do as much as we can.
>>4407456honestly if the queensmen are going to enable the web of shit that we uncovered for their own purposes I'm more than happy to burn that shit down so they don't have it.As for working with the queensmen thats still sorta tentative, they are a ready shield against the prince if he intends to make good on his threat and do us harm but they have their goals and ambitions and I'm not sure if that aligns with us yet.
>>4407465>>4407463Kniggas, we still don't have the Zealot trait. Maybe Emile wouldn't prefer to burn Canton to the ground if it can't be ideologically pure.
>>4407484Its not about burning the whole place down couse its not pure enguh, its about bring people to justice, people that normal can do what ever they want.And we have alredy done this with vincwell by bring him to court and other things we have gotin into.We are doing our kightly dutey to bring these people down and its about doing the right thing.Guilman would have kept alot in power and not done anything to stop them as long as he has use for them and im not ok with that.Would you let pedophiles keep rapeing kids if you could blackmail them into giving you anything you want or would you stop them and have them go to jail to face there crimes but you get narthing in return. Blue pill/red pill.
>>4407133>> You head to the Ordo Praetor Commandery, to get an update on what they’ve found in the ledger and whether the Golden Sun Captain has made good on his promise. If he has, you anticipate an arrest on the Port Bounty Butcher in the immediate future. [Haughty]Hope we learned a few things we could use to please Vancewell
>>4407484you missed the point, its not about burning it down because its not pure its about not compromising whats right for political gain, if the queensmen won't deliver it and bring down the web because it can serve their needs standing as is I don't think Emille should side with them.
>>4407492> Not having them stop and quietly be removed from power to be replaced with non-raping heirs or allies.See, the thing is there's more than one way to remove them and Emile is limited to the most destructive manner.Would you rather see Canton weakened and those children eaten by Snakemen or enslaved and raped regardless? Pretty sure someone like Emile who grew up in Romaine is familiar with the fact that you can't always choose your allies against a greater threat.
Should we go all in on Vancewell and ask for an advanced favor since we are going to be spending two years in the Dragon Guard?
>>4407492>Would you let pedophiles keep rapeing kids if you could blackmail them into giving you anything you want YES it does wonders just see real life examples like my boi epistein
Emile wears red socks.

We still might discover some revelations that would make us change our mind.
>>4407565It's an good idea, even if we don't finally sign off on the Dragon guard for whatever reason we'd have fulfilled the requirement for it by completing the pilgrimage.
>>4407133> You call upon Sir Robert Gilbern the Second Herald, who can be found at the Duke’s Palace. His distrust, though understandable, is misplaced.

[HeartyWe still have to give the coin from the copperclipper, but bros are first
>>4407565I think you spelled Daubeny wrong. Otherwise I totally agree.
>>4407685Your girl is nice and all, but you can't stop the Vancewell Express.
>>4407716considering how amazing the coomer rolls went recently i think the train will stop itself
>>4407721I have just one thing to say to you good sir: Choo choo
>>4407721>we rolled another nat 1>Vancewell pledges her eternal love and allegiance to us>will wait for a hundred years for us to return
>>4407716>>4407727Gentle smiles and wholesome handholding will win in the end.
I think we need a different check for anons who might be doubling up phoneposting.If you haven't made at peast three shitposts by the second vote, your ID shouldn't count.Memes, rambling arguments, simping, whatever.
>>4407837What stops anons from arguing with themselves with different IDs on their phone and their PC?
>>4407867If Anons are able to argue both sides of a debate they deserve two votes IMO.
>>4407837The only way to be sure is to for everyone to send me a picture of thier credit card and face, then write the three numbers on the back in all posts. that way i can verify that every poster is unique, trust me I've seen it work in multiple quests.Your carrier pigeons can find me at "M.Hewwit@coppermail.can"
There appears to be a general concensus to meet with Sir Gilbern, as well as a write in to either have the coin delivered to the Praetors OR bring it to Sir Gilbern to further establish trust. I’ll call another vote for that detail, open for 12 hours.===================> Have your trusted companions deliver the coin and a message to the Ordo Praetors, expanding the investigation to include possible House Hewitt involvement in slave trafficking. [Ordo Praetor receives coin]> Bring the coin with you to Sir Gilbern, as proof of your allegiance. Whether his decision is to use this evidence to shut down the slave ring or bring House Hewitt to heel is something you leave in his hands [Sir Gilbern receives coin]
>>4407922>> Have your trusted companions deliver the coin and a message to the Ordo Praetors, expanding the investigation to include possible House Hewitt involvement in slave trafficking. [Ordo Praetor receives coin]
>>4407922> Bring the coin with you to Sir Gilbern, as proof of your allegiance. Whether his decision is to use this evidence to shut down the slave ring or bring House Hewitt to heel is something you leave in his hands [Sir Gilbern receives coin]
> Bring the coin with you to Sir Gilbern, as proof of your allegiance. Whether his decision is to use this evidence to shut down the slave ring or bring House Hewitt to heel is something you leave in his hands [Sir Gilbern receives coin]For all the entailed advantages (Dice Gods have shown how fickle they are) and because brining House Hewitt to heel does sound like a ironic fate for them.
>>4407922> Bring the coin with you to Sir Gilbern, as proof of your allegiance. Whether his decision is to use this evidence to shut down the slave ring or bring House Hewitt to heel is something you leave in his hands [Sir Gilbern receives coin]The Ordo has enough evidence at hand as it is. If we let Sir Gilbern know that the Prince's Faction has ties with the slave trade, this might help us cement our place as being against the Faction Knights. Plus, given how shit our rolls were with him and so far in the threads, we'll probablu need every edge we can get to get back on his good side.
>>4407922>> Bring the coin with you to Sir Gilbern, as proof of your allegiance. Whether his decision is to use this evidence to shut down the slave ring or bring House Hewitt to heel is something you leave in his hands [Sir Gilbern receives coin]
>>4407922I mean, if we make it clear that we expect the slave ring to be shut down as our bottom line for future cooperation, that should give us a good idea as to whether or not we should evem support the Queen in Cathagi.Giving him the coin is a show of trust both that we are willing to work with him, as well as that we trust him to do the right thing.If he betrays that, then well I guess we'll have another enemy.
>>4407926I will add that i see no problem telling Gilberen about everything we know of the investigation and whomever we know are involved, giving him at least a little leg up in the scramble to fill the void and restore balance in the wake of hurricane Andrei.
>>4407922> Have your trusted companions deliver the coin and a message to the Ordo Praetors, expanding the investigation to include possible House Hewitt involvement in slave trafficking. [Ordo Praetor receives coin]gota shut down the slavers at all costs.>>4407201This is me;I just dont trust our buddy and the rest of the queensman to actually shut down the slave trade.

>>4407922>> Bring the coin with you to Sir Gilbern, as proof of your allegiance. Whether his decision is to use this evidence to shut down the slave ring or bring House Hewitt to heel is something you leave in his hands [Sir Gilbern receives coin]I think this would made a good gesture of trust with Gilbern. It will make the conversation that follows much easier.
>>4407289Me.>>4407922>Coin to the Ordo
>>4407922> Bring the coin with you to Sir Gilbern, as proof of your allegiance. Whether his decision is to use this evidence to shut down the slave ring or bring House Hewitt to heel is something you leave in his hands [Sir Gilbern receives coin]He will have connections that could help expedite justice. Justice>trust, though both is fantastic
>>4408040You mean exploit the slavers and use the money and influence to further there own goals.That dosnt mean justice gets to happen.
>>4407922>>4407931>> Bring the coin with you to Sir Gilbern, as proof of your allegiance. Whether his decision is to use this evidence to shut down the slave ring or bring House Hewitt to heel is something you leave in his hands [Sir Gilbern receives coin]This is actually a good point. I know I previously wanted to send it to the Ordo Preator, but the potential to fuck with the Prince's cash flow and slave supply is too good to pass up. I also think that Sir Gilbern is a good enough man under all of the conspiracy bullshit to at least entertain ending the slave trade.
>>4407922>Bring the coin with you to Sir Gilbern, as proof of your allegiance. Whether his decision is to use this evidence to shut down the slave ring or bring House Hewitt to heel is something you leave in his hands [Sir Gilbern receives coin]Talk is cheap >>4407168Linking previous ID in case of change
>>4407922>Bring the coin with you to Sir Gilbern, as proof of your allegiance. Whether his decision is to use this evidence to shut down the slave ring or bring House Hewitt to heel is something you leave in his hands [Sir Gilbern receives coin]
>>4407922>> Bring the coin with you to Sir Gilbern, as proof of your allegiance. Whether his decision is to use this evidence to shut down the slave ring or bring House Hewitt to heel is something you leave in his hands [Sir Gilbern receives coin]Supporting
>>4407205I would also be down for swearing an oath to help the Queens interests in Cathagi courts as part of us meeting Gilly-buns. With the coin as a tangible act of trust and cooperation plus our rep that should move him.Probs won't even need a roll. Also if G-spot trusts us more he'll probs give us more info on intrigue and support making our time there easier.
>>4407922I can't wait to meet the Dragon and have him ask what our goal in joining the DG is.> Here to rep Canton & and the Salvae Regina, stop the slave trade, and persuade you to worship the Almighty while making enough to get sweet sweet plate armour. Also have you heard of where one might hunt the fabled Turtlewolves. Also how do I kill a Son of Sin?.We took an oath not to lie. From what I've heard, the Dragon will probably be thrilled to hear us openly state it.Also if anyone knows about Turtle wolf hunting it's probably him.Wait. Can Gilbern hook us up with an exotic animal to give to the Dragon to increase our standing in court? Like a Dire Wolf was enough to stop the downward slide of the Stratioski, he should be able to match that.Maybe if we let Jess join his court, Cainfags should be happy with that solution.

>>4407922Man I Don';t even know what I want ot of these two.On one hand I totally want us to get back to bro status with gilburn but on the other hand I really want those copper clippers Hewitts to eat shit without any cance of a plea bargan(Although Maria Hewitt is cool tho)I just know what to vote for... maybe I'll just abstain from this one

yeah hewitt needs to get fucked gilbern will just go for blackmail
>>4408622This is me >>4404245
>>4408596This is meta knowledge but didn't the first herald wanted to make an example out of a noble house?
>>4408628They did. Theres a need to hang up someone to dry to send a message to the unaligned houses.
>>4408596I'm gonna be really sad if slavers get off with a slap on the wrist due to lack of evidence, because anon always panics and over corrects every time something fails.
>>4408633doing great this is more impressive imo because of poor decision making from anons
>>4408633If we do well enough we might convince Gilbert to throw the Reginate weight behind the investigation as beneficial to their agenda.
>>4408638That's the most likely outcome since the slave trade is connected to the Prince's faction. The Queensmen are going to shut it down if only to cut off some underhanded revenue and workers for the other side.The fate of House Hewitt might come down to rolls, but their personal info and power might be more vaulable than death.
>>4408638For that, we will actually have to give gilbern the opportunity to fuck them over rather than just the preators.
> You call upon Sir Robert Gilbern the Second Herald, who can be found at the Duke’s Palace. His distrust, though understandable, is misplaced. Reaffirming your willingness to act as his agent in the Cathagi court will go a long way in rebuilding your friendship. [Hearty]> Bring the coin with you to Sir Gilbern, as proof of your allegiance. Whether his decision is to use this evidence to shut down the slave ring or bring House Hewitt to heel is something you leave in his hands [Sir Gilbern receives coin]You’ve been dwelling on your recent encounter with Sir Robert Gilbern, you know things between you have taken a decidedly frosty turn. Although, judging from his apparent pleasure at Lord Gilbern’s frustrated schemes, it may not be too late to salvage your relationship with the Second Herald. Almighty knows what he thinks of your courtship with Lady Vancewell, but you’ll cross that drawbridge when you come to it.Sir Robert Gilbern is not alone when you are ushered into the meeting point, a nondescript hall likely used by the Reginates only when they have business in Port Bounty. You wonder if they hold a more permanent, and discreet, office somewhere. You turn your attention to Sir Gilbern’s companion. It was a little before your time, but it was one of Romaine’s worst kept secrets that in his youth Lord Kasper Alexandi would enter various tournaments as a mystery knight and declare that any knight who thought his lady love to be a match for the beauty of the Queen should come and break a lance with him, and refusing to raise a hand against any like-minded tourney participant. He also had a habit of donating all his winnings to the Church, and he did not often lose. His recommendation to the Reginate by the Duchess was rumoured to be as much to minimise further upsets at future tourneys as it was to acknowledge his dedication as a Queensman.“Aha, Capital! So this is the up-and-coming Sir Andrei that my comrade Robert has been talking about. Kasper Alexandi, of the House Alexandi and Third Herald to the Queen of Truth and Love. Say… you look somewhat familiar. Perhaps we met at a tourney, or maybe a wedding? I believe we Alexandis have a distant cousin or somesuch married to an Andrei, or was it a Vidra? In any case, pleased to finally make your acquaintance.” You are not quite taken aback by Lord Kasper Alexandi’s larger-than-life persona as you introduce yourself, affirming to Lord Alexandi that the two of you have never formally been introduced before. The barrel-chested man shaking your hand vigorously was the focal point of those who resisted the Son of Sin Anarchy’s aura of madness, you figured that any paragon of chivalry and nobility would not be meek or unimpressive in a less martial environment. [1/3]
“Well I’m happy to remedy it, and that’s Adam’s honest truth. Robert has been keeping us abreast of your successes in Errantry. You know Her Royal Highness can always use another strong sword and and stout heart under her command, bag a few more beasties and I’ll be offering you a small fief of my own!” Lord Alexandi glances behind him as Sir Gilbern coughs, a not too subtle indication that this was to be a private conversation. The Third Herald does not roll his eyes, but the implicaton is there as he takes his leave. “Bah, not more cloak-and-dagger business is it? Give me spears over spies any day, eh? I haven’t the patience for that sort of skullduggery, but then again the needs of the kingdom hardly give a sod what my patience prefers, does it? Don’t be a stranger, Sir Andrei!”After Lord Alexandi takes his leave Sir Robert Gilbern is, as expected, predictably cool in his conversation with you and your attempts to regain his trust. You form the impression that he does not believe you will play your part for the Ordo Reginae at the Cathagi Court, or at least that the info you provide to him will not be for him alone. His forced politeness falters when you share the information regarding Sir Marco Hewitt and proof of his misdeeds.“Hm. A captain’s mark?” Sir Gilbern looks at you appraisingly. “Amatuerish.”“I suspect so.” You push the point hopefully. “You mean to act on it then?”“This is a good opportunity.” Sir Gilbern nods. “He’s Pit-damned himself then. Even if he suspected we were on to him, he couldn’t arrange for this ship to leave the harbour ahead of schedule. Something your brother was well aware of in advance, I suspect.”“My sister, actually.” You wince at the quasi-confession of their well-timed getaway, but Sir Gilbern seems more amused than upset at the success of her ploy.“Remind me never to underestimate Romani women.” Sir Gilbern seems to be warming to the conversation now. “As for Sir Hewitt, if we find any evidence of this slave ring on this captain’s ship, we’ll have him. The nobles could use a reminder of the extent of Her Majesty’s power. I don’t doubt that House Hewitt will be formally attainted.”“Attainted?” You blink. You had worried that Sir Marco Hewitt might escape justice, become another pawn in the Ordo Reginate’s game. This is entirely the opposite. A noble family hasn’t been attainted since… well since the War of Borders certainly.To attaint a noble family, to strip them of their possessions and holdings… Those who aren’t executed as traitors will be left destitute, penniless and without a roof above their heads. The axe will fall, literally and metaphorically, on guilty and innocent members of House Hewitt alike. [2/3]
[3/3]“Yes, attainted. The immediate relatives of Sir Marco Hewitt will have to be executed, of course. I suspect that the destitution of the line’s remaining family members will serve as warning enough.”“Sir Gilbern, I know this slavery ring is foul business but to attaint an entire House…”“It’s not just the slavery ring, we’ve solid sources indicating that House Hewitt funding recent Bluejay activity in North Fallavon.”“But, they had nothing to do with…” You finish lamely, realising how that sounds. “And how would you know that?” Sir Robert Gilbern looks at you sharply. “In fact Sir Andrei, given the coolness of our recent encounter, why come to me with this at all? Why not run to your friends at the Ordo Praetor? Perhaps you were looking to settle a score with an old rival, and now revenge is a bitter plate to finish.”=================================================================I am happy to accept verbatim write-ins, and votes supporting them, but I’d like responses to the below as this is a tricky moment in the nature of your relationship with the Ordo Reginate and Sir Gilbern in particular.(1) Oath of Silence>You explain that you assisted your brother in North Fallavon, and during that time encountered the Bluejays. That is how you know the Hewitts weren’t behind them. [Brief explanation]>You tell Sir Gilbern that you cannot speak on how you know the Hewitts aren’t behind the Bluejays, as you would break your oath of silence. You ask him to believe you all the same. [Hold Tongue]>You ask to be released from your oath of silence, at least temporarily, and tell Sir Gilbern everything you can without compromising your honour. This includes the Son of Sin. [Full truth]---------(2) Cathagi Court>You are less and less convinced that the Reginates are any better than the Faction they struggle against. You will not compromise oaths you may make in the future as part of the Dragon Guard. [Independent]>You give your word that you will let Sir Gilbern know of any plots that may threaten Cantôn if you hear of them. [Word of Honour]>You are willing to swear a solemn oath to report your findings in the Cathagi Court to Sir Gilbern alone and discharge such duties he directs. You will, in effect, be an agent of the Ordo Reginate. [Swear Oath]----------(3) Attainted (I’m also interested to know whether any oath/word is conditional on sparing anyone).>You argue for the clemency of House Hewitt, the weight of this sin falls on the shoulders of Sir Marco Hewitt alone. [Spare all except Sir Marco Hewitt]>You ask that Lady Maria Hewitt be at least spared the executioner’s blade. You will make arrangements, perhaps as one of your sisters handmaidens. [Spare Lady Hewitt]>There is nothing you can do for the innocents of House Hewitt, even if you could honestly say they were entirely uninvolved. [Spare No One]

>>4408666Adding a write inSir, revenge is not within my wheelhouse. I started my errantry uncertain of the direction of my life; I knew only that I was a knight and must uphold our values and oaths. I've since done my best to by guided by those values and that brought me to unexpected places and found me in endless trouble, yet I do not regret it. I've met true evil in this world and know that it must be stopped. I believe you are a man who understands this as well as any other, certainly better than the Ordo Praetor. I know that I can trust you, and I hope you see that you can trust me as well. Release me from my oath of silence for a short time and I will tell you everything I know and how I came to know it so that we may better protect the people of Canton
>>4408665>Lady HewittWas that a lady we promised man with decent library?
>>4408665Will mentioning the Sons of Sin, include our run in with Sir Sanguine or not?

[Word of Honour]>There is nothing you can do for the innocents of House Hewitt, even if you could honestly say they were entirely uninvolved. [Spare No One]
>>4408673I definitely want to include that
Hmm, a harsher solution than expected but not unwelcome.>>4408665>You ask to be released from your oath of silence, at least temporarily, and tell Sir Gilbern everything you can without compromising your honour. This includes the Son of Sin. [Full truth]>You are willing to swear a solemn oath to report your findings in the Cathagi Court to Sir Gilbern alone and discharge such duties he directs.

You will make arrangements, perhaps as one of your sisters handmaidens. [Spare Lady Hewitt]A bit on the fence about Oath or Word of Honor, but I'll take the former because we need some political back-up after the Prince's mess. Word is fine too since it's basically what we told Gilbern before and any threat to Canton should be eliminated anyway.
>>4408665>(1) Oath of Silence>You tell Sir Gilbern that you cannot speak on how you know the Hewitts aren’t behind the Bluejays, as you would break your oath of silence. You ask him to believe you all the same.

You will make arrangements, perhaps as one of your sisters handmaidens. [Spare Lady Hewitt]OtherIf we are to be an agent of the Reginate in these proceedings, ask for his aid in protecting our family (especially our brother and sister) since we will be away potentially for a very long time. The Prince's ire is upon them and having the reginate's backing to protect them will be essential. "I come because I have kept faith with you. You once asked me for aid in a clandestine operation in the woods and I turned you down in my search for my brother. Yet through my travels, I have hefted no blade against the Reginate and even aided an enemy most foul when I could have just as easily ran. I am your friend and comrade, Sir Gilbern, and I hope you will come to see me once again as such."Come on Robert. Be less of a dick, please. We've been trying to help.
>>4408681That's a good idea as well. Trust for trust. If we can do this for him, he can help our family survive
This quest has gone to crap. It has become filled with metagamers, murderhobos, sock puppeteers (samefags), and porn addicts straight out of Akun. There's no way all the players here are from this board, for they're simply too many. A lot of them are from elsewhere (and/or just samefags inflating the playerbase).I really didn't want this to be true, but the anon raging in the last thread was right. The majority of the players just don't care about role-playing and what is IC, and the precedents and prior decisions are worthless for establishing any sort of character. Emile is not a person anymore. He is a walking, talking dildo who exists to fulfill the players' power fantasies.It pains me to say this, but I can't continue this quest anymore. I've voted in every single vote and rolled in every single roll I was allowed to roll. Not once did I miss a single live session, update, vote, or roll. The amount of times I corrected Forgotten on miscounted votes, path points, stats, lore, etc... have become countless. I can safely say that I'll never become as invested in another quest as I was with this one.Sworn to Valour is no longer Sworn to Valour, it's Sworn to Nothing.
>>4408684Lmao cya

Are we seriously going to condemn every man, woman and child in house Hewitt for a crime they may not even be involved in?

>>4408684Yeah I'm dropping this shit too. There's no consistency anymore. One we're giving a sermon about kindness and mercy with Sister Ignatius, another we're toturing people to interrogate them.One point we're refusing to court a woman out of respect for her suitor, another we're going balls deep in every woman including one by a guy we crippled.One point we're dueling a black knight to prevent the unjust execution of an innocent serf, another we're letting a simp for a queen execute an entire innocent noble family simply because they're related to a guilty criminal.One point we refuse to murder a suspect and make sure he gets a fair trial, another we hand over evidence to interest groups.I can go on and on.Goodbye 'kniggas'.
>>4408692This isn't earth or modern day. Its Canton and a House endorsing slavery, one of the most repugnant crimes considering the heritage of the Canton people. Not only that but we know that other Houses are doing bad shit, we just don't have evidence on them and like Gilbern said, this will serve as a warning that the power to crush them and end them completely does still exist.
>>4408665>You ask to be released from your oath of silence, at least temporarily, and tell Sir Gilbern everything you can without compromising your honour. This includes the Son of Sin.

>>4408692Only immediate relatives will be executed, the rest will be destituted. Not nearly as severe as execution of every member of the House as you seem to believe.Of these, the only one we know and we are sure of innocence is Lady Maria, hence why we can plead to spare her. If you really want to spare more people, then you should give Gilbern a good reason beyond 'muh justice' - for example, telling him the whole truth.
>>4408665>You ask to be released from your oath of silence, at least temporarily, and tell Sir Gilbern everything you can without compromising your honour. This includes the Son of Sin. [Full truth]This way we can also ask for dispensation to talk at the hearing if it's still relevant, or even ask for the resinates to help get it back on track if they see a use for it.>You give your word that you will let Sir Gilbern know of any plots that may threaten Cantôn if you hear of them. [Word of Honour]I do not like the idea of the oath making us potentially assassins, thief or whatever other type of skulduggery type that Gilbern might order us to become for his queen of truth and beauty. >You ask that Lady Maria Hewitt be at least spared the executioner’s blade. You will make arrangements, perhaps as one of your sisters handmaidens. [Spare Lady Hewitt]>I have met Lady Maria Hewitt and believe her to be untainted by her brother/cousins foul deeds. she is an innocent and I would vouch for her if need be. As for the innocence of the rest of the Hewitts I can not say. Condemning them all without proof of involvement does not sit right with me, and i would like it better if they got a chance to clear themselves, but if this is how it has to be then so be it.
>>4408684I honestly can't help but agree. This shit is ridiculous at this point and there's no point in going on. This is as good as a time as any to drop this quest anyway cause Forgotten clearly wants to focus on that BC in space quest of his.
>>4408697funnily enough if we didn't kill broulet we never would of met here to judge her character and she probably would of died
>>4408695even with the mindset of the period this is incredibly punative and extreme, Innocents should not be suffering for sins they have not committed.>>4408697okay yeah but still we have no idea if even his immediate relatives are involved and that means any children he has, I wouldn't be objecting normally but this is really punative.
>>4408684I'm seriously beginning to think of dropping StV too, but I'll wait because I've been participating since it began.
All these people willing to swear oaths to do anything not matter how vile or against the codes of knighthood to the faction that massacred unarmed civilian miners for taking the wrong job just to delay the faction knights. the faction that murdered our brothers men just because they were at the wrong place at the wrong time. The same faction that hunted our brother after he escaped and forced him into exile to stay alive. Putting aside past offences taking this oath will most likely force us to break either our knights vows, any oath in the DG or the oath itself. I really think taking the oath is just pissing our pants to stay warm, it might help right now but in the long run it's gonna make things worse.
>>4408705On the other hand, we aren't sure if they are innocent either - or aware but complicitly silent about it. As for children, they can or cannot exist - I can't make arguments for or against against someone whose existence is up in the air.And as I said, if you want to make a case for a lesser punishment you have the means for it. Tell Gilbern the truth, then make a case to spare everyone but Marco based on that. Forgotten has given you the instruments to do so.
>>4408665>You ask to be released from your oath of silence, at least temporarily, and tell Sir Gilbern everything you can without compromising your honour. This includes the Son of Sin. [Full truth]>You give your word that you will let Sir Gilbern know of any plots that may threaten Cantôn if you hear of them. [Word of Honour]>You ask that Lady Maria Hewitt be at least spared the executioner’s blade. You will make arrangements, perhaps as one of your sisters handmaidens. [Spare Lady Hewitt]
>>4408705I don't like it at all either. but it is the other side of the coin of noble privilege. you get life on easy mode because of your families current or past actions deserved or otherwise, but your fortunes can be reversed due to your families actions deserved or otherwise. It's like losing your job because the company was shut down when the boss got caught using the company for human trafficking.
>>4408684>>4408694>>4408706
Good lord look at all these fucking bitches. Hopefully having them gone will give us some peace
>>4408707Personally it comes down to political back-up and being the lesser evil. After stirring the hornets' nest that was the Prince, Emile (and to a lesser extent House Andrei) shouldn't say no to some moticeable political friends. As for the crimes of the Queensmen, they're bad but the other side is just *that* much worse. Or fucking blind to the Prince's plans, which is still very bad. Other organizations such as the Ordo Praetor are nice on paper, but too small or inevitably compromised to be able to change the greater picture.That said, Word is a perfectly alternative choice. It costs Emile nothing while keeping Canton (and by extension, family and friends) safe from possible ploys. It's Indipendence which is pants-on retarded in this situation.
Ah well, I’m sorry anons feel that way. I’m not sure what I could have done as a QM to prevent it.
>>4408701>Forgotten clearly wants to focus on that BC in space quest of his.I did not know 4gotten was making another BC quest. I looked it up and it turns out he's creating it after this thread lel. If that's so then I'm also dropping stv for good (but not for the same reasons as other anons.) It is now tedious for me and I will not bother waiting for the long periods between each run for the two quests. However im gonna drop a truth bomb before leaving this quest:I have samefagged every single vote in both Sworn to Valour and Black Company, even the contentious votes. I did this by using multiple wifis to get through 4gottens link to previous id method. I live near many internet cafes and hotels, so I can just ask to use their wifis. Black Company had way less participants and was in/tg/ where there were no IDs, so i managed to successfully samefag every vote in that quest. The votes of BC players meant less than nothing because I had more IDs than all of them which meant every single choice was decided by me and they didn't matter. Sworn to Valour was more tricky but I still managed to have most votes I samefagged win because I have more than 10 IDs. Some votes that won managed to soley win by own votes and no one else voted for them. I will not reveal them all but one of the contentious ones was the vote to sleep with Tracker Jean.>inb4 proofTo anyone who wants certain proof, be present for 4gottens first thread for his new Black Company quest. I will show you undeniable proof of everything I said.That's all. I lurk till we sleep with Vancewell and then say bye bye for good.P.S I'm 100% certain I'm not the only samefag in this quest. There are multiple others.
>>4408673>>4408719
>>4408717Yeah i have no problem giving our word and share info, also not doing so would be going back on a promise we already made long ago. I'd even be open to act on Gilberns behalf during our stay if what he asks doesn't force us to break our oaths or vows, but being duty bound to him i do not want. And i will remind us all that Forgotten has no problem handing us all the rope we want and then watch us tie our own noose.
>>4408721Cool story bro. Epic!
>>4408721I don't think I believe you but if this is true, then that's the final straw for me. I don't care about a quest that is determined by a samefag or dozens of them. I'm just going to leave this thread and wait for Forgotten to run BCQ2230 AD's first thread to see if you will back up your claims. Fuck you if what you say is true though.
>>4408721You're a sad person with a sad life.
>>4408721Nothing has ever made me want to drop QMing more entirely than this post.
>>4408731Fuck I understand you. I myself QMed a few times and that kind of post would have make me drop my quest instantly. Alas we can do nothing against this kind of mentally ill person, except make our quest completely devoid of contentious decisions, waifus choices and stuff.
>>4408731Honestly I think he's full of shit. You can tell there are several people who regularly follow your quest just based on the patterns and mannerisms used in how they type etc. At the very least you have a handful of regulars who vote on every issue and don't always agree
>>4408728>>4408729>>4408730You know what? I'll prove everything I said right now. Go to /qtg/ and wait.
>>4408731You should. You've consistently been one of the best QMs and people overall on this site. Do these faggots deserve you?
>>4408734How will you prove it?
>>4408739He'll probably just cycle his IP a few times and post something to "prove" it
>>4408741I mean thats basically the secret of it
>>4408721lol but a sad lolthat's some 10/10 sociopath postjesus christ man, i would tell you to get the evil out in some way, but you are prob the kind of guy to fuck a kid to get relief
>>4408737 →>>4408745 →Lmao he is legit just sitting naked by his modem, turning it off and on again to cycle the IP as "proof" that he is the main voter base in this quest
>>4408724You have a point but I doubt Gilbern would give suicidal or impossible tasks to his only ear inside the DG. That's just stupid.Asking us to break vows is more iffy, but he should know Emile is somewhat serious about them. Again, it sounds counter-productive for him to do so unless shit hit the fan.>>4408731Eh, I voted to sleep with Tracker Jean too. That Anon is greatly exaggerating at best, full of shit at worst. Don't let him get to you.Although it is true that it's quite easy to bypass the 1 ID rule through other dispositives. But that's how 4chan is - unless you want to migrate to a forum or some shit, you'll have to deal with samefags.
The funniest thing to me is when samefags, once outed, always cry "there's others like me!"Maybe there are, and you're all kikes.
>>4408731But then how would you get oc memes made for you?
>>4408731This is my favourite quest by far. Just throwing this out there but if we had to take the game to a forum or something, I'd still be down.
>>4408774same
I just saw his proof. He really wasn't making stuff up. This it for me. I'm dropping this quest. All I wanted was to play an honourable and chivalrous good knight.
>>4408731How will I give you my boipussy shower you in love and affection if you do?
>>4408779All he did was cycle his modem. It wasn't really anything special or secret and it doesn't prove much of anything
Yeah fuck this. I won't keep participating in this quest, especially when there are other samefags just like this cretin. Thanks for everything I guess Forgotten.
