Many years from now, not far from home…

It is well into the evening at the tavern by the road, and the place has grown lively indeed with hands from the kitchen delivering warm meals and the mead flowing freely. Nothing pleases a crowd like the tale of a good perilous sea voyage, and it doesn’t take long to get the inngoers singing and chanty a sea shanty like trueborn Langlish sailors.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zBm_6IfInY&ab_channel=UbisoftMusic – Langlish Sea Shanty

”And it's windy weather, boys, stormy weather, boys
When the wind blows, we're all together, boys
Blow ye winds westerly, blow ye winds, blow
Jolly sou'wester, boys, steady she goes”
The troubadour leaps up onto the main table as he strings his lute, laughter spluttering from the audience as the seated patrons scramble to move their plates and cups out of his kicking feet.

“Up jumps the eel with his slippery tail
Climbs up aloft and reefs the topsail”

The bard pauses, pointing out to the clapping onlookers to pick up the chorus. They do so most enthusiastically, typically getting the words completely wrong and with none of the Langlish lilt, but the spirit is there. One might be forgiven that these were in fact a crew on shore leave rather than dusty farmhands and milkmaids at the end of a day’s work.

“And it's windy weather, boys, stormy weather, boys
When the wind blows, we're all together, boys
Blow ye winds westerly, blow ye winds, blow
Jolly sou'wester, boys, steady she goes”

The night is young and the ale flows freely, even the burly innkeep is nodding along to the song while manning his station at the bar. The smile on the bard widens, the shine of his teeth glinting for a moment in the firelight. He decides to see if they can make this a real night to remember.

Turnegan, 26th Day of Bacrimun, 883 A.C.E. – Evening - Castle Rabe in the Montbrun Duchy

“Four sons. Four! A rowdy batch sure, and yet I never lost sleep over any of you. How is it that your one sister drives me to my wits end.” Sir Karlaus Rabe contents himself with a short grunt as his father waxes on from his favourite chair in the hall, the one right by the fireplace. The young Rabe knight decides against voicing his long-held view Pa has done nothing but spoil Hildi since the death of Ma. To be fair Karlaus and his brothers have done much the same, doting on their one sister and letting her walk all over them. “Who is this bloody Young Lord Andrei and why am I giving Hildi permission to write him without ever meeting the bloody man!”

“Sure, the air-headed ditz has fallen for a southern flower, but it could be worse.” Sir Rabe shrugs casually, rest an arm on the chair opposite his father. “ The man doesn’t shy from a fight, and he comes from a good family. I wouldn’t fret, old timer.”

“Watch it, boy. I can still take you for a pretty turn in the tiltyard. Have you eating snow before dinner for the umpteenth time.” Lord Hans Rabe glares at his grinning youngest son, a bit of that old fire showing from his days before the rheumatism kicked in. He grunts, breaking the stare to rub at his knee. “Hmph. That bookish physician does assure me House Andrei is an old and proud family, pureblood pedigree. Well I never heard of ‘em.”

“Can’t speak for the rest of the Andrei lot, but I can speak for my good friend Sir Emile Andrei.” Sir Rabe grunts when he sees his father shiver slightly, grabbing another sheepskin blanket from nearby and draping it over his lap. “If this Damien is half the man his brother is then we’ve nothing to fear.”

“Emile, eh? Yes, you mentioned him. A bonny fighter from the sounds of it.” Lord Rabe shrugs the new cover further up to his shoulders, it’s a cold night in the mountains tonight. “Damn shame he is off on this pilgrimage business, I’ve a feeling warriors of his calibre will be much needed in the time to come. Another log on the fire, my boy. We have much to talk on.”

Sir Rabe isn’t sure exactly what his father means, given that this snakemen upset will of course be crushed soon enough, scales and all, but he’s glad to see him move on from his daughter being wilful again. If Pa really disapproved really, the halls of Castle Rabe would definitely have heard of it by now. Or at least the echoes. If she is wilful as a result, so be it. Every man among them would lose their right hand before seeing her shed a tear. Young Lady Brunhilde Rabe typically gets what she wants, at least from her family, and right now it seems she wants to get married to the pretty southern boy. Ma would be happy to see her happy, and that is enough. None of this is said between the two gruff Montbrun mountain men, such talk of feelings and wishy washiness belongs in the halls of soft southerners. Real men have better topics to discuss, such as war.

The collection of vales and hills that Lord Rabe claims rulership of are close enough on any map but in reality largely decentralized due to the nature of the geography. The hamlet of Bielefeld is less than a few minutes away as the crow flies, but a full days trek through the winding mountains. While the territory is large on paper, most of the real resources, population and wealth is concentrated to a handful of valleys in between the dominant ridgelines of the mountains. Passes both to other areas of Montbrun and the rest of the continent are critical, and well manned by watchtowers and permanent or held in trust by clans to much the same effect. There are other passes through the Montbrun mountains range, those that lead East into the Slithering Wastelands. They are few and far between, some of these are known only to local clan leaders and all in Rabe lands at least are little more than goat trails that at most could accommodate a handful of desperate or daring trekkers.

The only major passes elsewhere in Montbrun, those that one could feasibly move an army through, are each dominated the three mighty citadels known as Törwatcher Gates. These three mighty gates, each named after an ancient Montbrun saint, are in turn held by the three most powerful families in the Duchy. House Alderagues control Gabriel’s Gate to the South. House Norwache sits in the cold reaches of Peter’s Pass, also known as Norgard to the pagan Norsikaans. The Duke Montbrun rules from the largest of the three, claiming the name of the Törwatcher for themselves in the name of their illustrious ancestor that fought side by side with Cain and Adam in eons past.

All this and more is the topic of discussion between Sir Rabe and his father as night sets in and servants keep the fire fueled. In particular, the whereabouts of Sir Rabe’s brothers and where Sir Rabe plans to go to next in light of this growing scalefiend issue. As Pa says, strong sword hands are in high demand.

The eldest Rabe brother, Young Lord Sander Rabe, remains on the family lands and sees to much of the day-to-day duties in each of the vales. Pa has long been grooming him for his spot on the dais, and this is not likely to change. Karlaus might think Sander a self-important prick, but he does take his duties very seriously. The middle brother, Austyn, has travelled with a contigent of some of Pa’s hardiest fighters to the aid of other territories that are starting to see minor incursions of snakemen, including the Duke’s direct lands themselves. The second-youngest, Gerhard, less than a full year older than Karlaus, has joined a brotherhood of knights determined to assist the Holy Order in the battles out beyond the Montbrun borders themselves. Wastelander refugees are still trickling through, causing a crisis of their own in terms of strange faces, idle hands and hungry mouths in a region that views anyone outside of their own clan with increased suspicion.

A Dukes campaign and in force is a sure bet thing for Rave to get fired up about

>>5452682
1. The Montbrunes are traditionalists and possibly Dukes men, if I have to conjecture I feel the duke is implied to be involved in the faction conspiracy which may have ties to the kingsmen
2. Unless some other duke is known for lots of mountains that's the implication of certain statements in fallavon

Division of labor, one brother at home, one to help the dukedom at large, one already dead in the wastes, and one to rally support from the southern dandies.
Also something should probably be done about the refugee situation, maybe see if they can be employed as guides or irregulars for the parties beyond the gates. Alternatively they could maybe be routed into Romaine, with permission of course, seeing as I suspect there is always a need for more manpower to battle the constant attrition of the deadmen, and larger population would mean more land can be reclaimed and held. But these things seem above the head of our battle bro, could be something for sister dearest to work out with her fiance, two snakes with one swing as they say as having the new son-in.-law help with the refuges might endear him to father crow.
Also really want to see the interaction between Hans and lord Andrei. i can just imagine Rabe them bonding over being border lords who regularly have to hold the line against the foes of man, and of course the ego stroking when beardad gushes and raves over the magnificence of the Törwatcher gates and it's design and upkeep.

Tis I

I'm wondering which option allows for the biggest burning shitpile when emille returns.

Option one has Karl involved in an eager if disorganised offensive by the younger knights and holy orders like the broken blade.

Option two has the duke involved in a organised campaign with the might of the duchy involved I sense Internal intrigues and vancewell shennanigans

Option 3 secures the homeland which will likely ensure the Rabes are relatively safe if nothing else.

It's not like there will be shenanigans through such minor and negligeable passes, right?

Although given that one of the Herald is going to Montbrun, the Duke's offensive offers some potential...

>>5452768
I don't think we should think so strategically. Karlaus doesn't strike me as the type to go on boring patrols while his baby brother is fighting behind enemy lines.

Fenegan, 27th Day of Bacrimun, 883 A.C.E. – Mid-Morning - Westfold Waters

The Coy Siren has left the security of the Langlish coastline some days ago now, heading into open waters towards Canton. Despite the enormity of the ocean still impressing you, the waves are far from empty of other traffic in the tradelines between the two nations and the sight of sails on the horizon is not an uncommon occurrence. For the most part the respective captains seem content to keep their distance, even these heavily patrolled waters aren’t entirely free from piracy. One Cantônian Cog does comes close enough for waves and shouts to be exchanged as you pass the other pay, and just two days ago a Langlish galleon dwarfing your own ship pulled up close enough to make the crew uncomfortable, but pulled away once the correct flag signals had been exchanged.
An interesting means of distinguishing honest traders from pirate types, but one that could surely be subject to abuse if a merchantman was taken and forced to divulge the current passing signals. Captain Alfonso assures you that such concerns are probably why the galleon pulled up as close as it did, implying that the man is familiar enough with the Langlish officers in these waters for them to know him by sight.

It has been fair weather this last week, and the Captain expects to reach the Cantôn Coastline in another week if the weather holds. From there, weather will be less of a concern than pirates, a cove that will shelter a ship from a storm will just as easily conceal a buccaneer from its prey as opposed to open waters.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8EQxFtQs1c&ab_channel=BrianTyler-Topic – Across the Westfold Waters

Each week during the voyage will see a call for rolls for how the weather fares in the following week at sea. As you have taken the most circuitous route by hugging to as much coastline as possible, the ill effects of bad weather can be mitigated. The tradeoff is the length of time the journey will take (EST 7-9 weeks) and the likelihood of running afoul pirates. There is little chance of encountering sea monsters in the coastline waters, but not zero.

Week One – Langland to Cantôn - Weather Roll
>50DC
>Current Progress: 0/56 Days (expected journey length is 8 weeks)
>Sailor Gear +1 Re-Roll Doesn’t actually affect the weather, but helps you deal with it.
>Friendly Advice +1 Re-Roll (single use Can be used on doubles or crits

Critpass (100) = Ocean Bounty.
Double Pass (<23) = Gentle Currents. As below, negates any loss this week from Foul Winds.
Double Pass (>23) = Fair Winds. Gain +1d6 Days Progress. Ocean Bounty becomes more likely.
Pass = Swift Sailing. +1 Day progress. DC next week increases by 5DC.
Fail = Slow Sailing. +1 Day progress. DC next week decreases by 5DC.
Double Fail (<87) = Foul Winds. Lose -1d6 Days progress. Terrible Storm becomes more likely.
Double Fail (>87) = Rough Seas. As above, with possible equipment loss/damage and harm to companions.
Critfail (100) = Terrible Storm.

7 rolls of 1d100, mateys. You have TWO re-rolls. There are no adverse re-rolls.

It’s windy weather boys, stormy weather boys…

>>5453995
Ah man. you really shouldnt have spent that reroll.

We're basically going to have to roll for every of the remaing 56 days till we reach our destination and that was the get out of shit free card.

>>5454002
I think avoiding that -1d6 days to progress and not making Terrible Storm more likely was worth it.

>>5453964
Hey Forgotten, just going to point out that "100" is listed twice in the results table.
>Critpass (100) = Ocean Bounty.
and
Critfail (100) = Terrible Storm.
Even if it's obvious that the former should read "1".

>>5454008
Unfortunately now we cannot avoid a crit if its rolled now.

>>5454008
We are going to roll somewhere in the region between 30 to 40 dice.

A crit is coming. I can feel it in my bones.

>>5454025
i deserve it

Anyways we have the last regular reusable reroll so someone else might as well give it a shot.

>>5454032
you can reroll my 97 if you want, y luck seems gone today

>>5454035
Nah, standing rules, only the one who rolled can reroll. Especially if they're still around. You can give it up to the others
>>5453969
>>5453977
>>5453988
here and just choose not to reroll your result.

>>5454032
I don't think its a good idea, current results are fine. No chance on the 50DC and we are at 7/56 Days.

>>5454046
I don't mind going off the beaten path on our own, but we are escorting pilgrims here.

>>5454048
Had to answer right after I deleted my bitching, had you?
Also fair enough

isn't sailor gear multiple use? It's not stated as single use so I take it we can use this once a week...

>>5454054
If yes, then 97 should be rerolled with it, because it's the same as a double fail in magnitude of bad

>>5454056
No it isn't, it counts as a regular fail. It needs to be a double over 87 or a critfail to be worse than the 77 we avoided.

>>5454058
Ah. I didn't understand the rules properly then

What is ocean bounty? Mermaids? Sirens? Wreck ed ships? Sea beasts? Eldritch horrors seeking to impart knowledge to mortal minds? Were islands never discovered by man? A relic of the brothers? A treasure map in a bottle?

>>5454054
Multiple use, yes. So if we can get a single pass, it'll potentially allow us to snowball to better results. I'm fairly nervous about a failure cascade where a single week of bad rolling sends our DC into the deep end.

>>5454063
1) Double Pass (<23) = Gentle Currents. As below, negates any loss this week from Foul Winds.
2) Double Pass (>23) = Fair Winds. Gain +1d6 Days Progress. Ocean Bounty becomes more likely.
3) Pass = Swift Sailing. +1 Day progress. DC next week increases by 5DC.
4) Fail = Slow Sailing. +1 Day progress. DC next week decreases by 5DC.
5) Double Fail (<87) = Foul Winds. Lose -1d6 Days progress. Terrible Storm becomes more likely.
6) Double Fail (>87) = Rough Seas. As above, with possible equipment loss/damage and harm to companions.

A 11 or 22 will activate effects: 1, 2 & 3.

A 33 or 44 will activate effects: 2 & 3.

Any other passing result will just be 3.

88 & 99 (lol faekiss shiet, etc) will activate: 4, 5 & 6.

55, 66 & 77 will activate: 4 & 5.

Any other failure result will activate 4.

The Coy Siren - Captain’s Log Translated from Langlish

Fenegan, 27th Day of Bacrimun
This marks a week since we left Port Capara and still no sign of pursuit.* I believe we can consider ourselves in the clear. Although the Darling of Tremens came close enough two days hence for me to fear the worst, they appear to only be only their regular piracy patrols.
*This section appears to be blacked out

Sendag, 28th Day of Bacrimun
The winds were at our back today, and two more sails were spotted in the distance. They appeared to be heading north, and proved to be of little concern to us. This is just as well, the presence of man in these waters is reassuring even along well-known trade routes. Unless said men wish to try something.

Sandag, 29th Day of Bacrimun
The main deck was cleared for the pilgrim’s religious service, this being the rare day of rest where that poor servant boy is spared the tests of his giant warrior master. The warrior, and the pilgrims in general are by and large good passengers and keep to themselves for the most part. The ragged male priest has a dangerous look about him, the kind I’ve seen before in fanatics across the world. But the woman priest seems to balance him out, he has kept his remarks about the roughness and and gambling of sailors to muttered grumblings. Thankfully few of the crew speak his tongue.

Monegan, 30th Day of Bacrimun
What looked like a squall dissipated before reaching us, instead a soft shower fell for a few hours. Our water provisions are well stocked, but I instructed the crewmen to gather replenish them to the brim. The pilgrims seemed happy for the refreshing rain, spare laundry was hung out and given that the winds were entirely becalmed later in the day the pilgrims and crew were permitted to hang spare laundry to dry on the lower rigging until the wind picked up again.

Tunegan, 1st Day of Hastrimun
The holy women from the Cantôn pilgrim contingent held a special service to mark a day of significance for one of their many saints. It remains unclear whether this was the day of one of their supposed miracles or the saint’s martyrdom. A few of the crew observed and made some obeisance, which was not begrudged of them. Sailors take comfort in their own small superstitions as they see fit, I see no reason why this cannot include the big ones.

Wenegan, 2nd Day of Hastrimun
A flock of seagulls passed us by, a sign that the coastline cannot be too far away. That or my instruments have severely misled us and we have strayed far south and near to one of the few rocky isles out in the Westfold proper. But I am inclined to doubt this given that another sail was briefly sighted well ahead of us and moving in the same direction. Benicio, the lookout on duty, was granted an extra ration of rum for his keen eyes.

Turnegan, 3rd Day of Hastrimun
Land spotted by the lookout this afternoon, we will make the Cantôn coastline by this evening. The weather continues to hold.

A further Captain's Log and call for rolls will come tomorrow, but I am open to ideas as to what Emile himself should kept up to in his spare time. While your continued intense training and sparring with Mikail will take up a a few hours each day except Sandag, that does still leave a fair bit of spare time on your hands.

Have we talked with Sister Ignacius recently? We spend all our time with Father Towbray, its about time we talk to her and maybe get to know some of the pilgrims while helping her with her duties as charity.

The Coy Siren – Captain’s Log

Fenegan, 4th Day of Hastrimun
We reached the coastline of Cantôn before midday, a sight that caused no small cheer in the crew but also what I assume to be homesickness in the pilgrim passengers. One hopes that this fair weather continues to remain in our favour.

Sendag, 5th Day of Hastrimun
A dispute between a pilgrim accusing a sailor of thievery was settled by the Storm Bear before the intervention of myself or my first mate was necessary. Sir Andrei has spoken with me regarding the matter, reimbursing the pilgrim’s missing belonging. A drunk Norsikaan outcast Jorre may be, but he denies the misdeed and there is no proof of the act beyond the accusation of the victim and one other pilgrim. I must side with my crewman in this, but I have none too subtly reminded all of the men that our passengers are not to be mistreated.

Sandag, 6th Day of Hastrimun
We made good progress today, passing by the Cantôn city of Calais that marks the southern border of their westernmost Duchy. First Mate Yori reports a rumour from the men that the knight’s silent archer was spotted idly tossing coins into the sea from the prow of the ship. It seems peculiar, even by the standards of sailors, but may require some attention. It is his business how much he pays his men, but wanton waste of wealth in front of the crew can prove demoralising if it persists.

Monegan, 7th Day of Hastrimun
The winds have cooled their heels, but our progress is thankfully not much slowed. We’re frequently passing frequent ships along the coastline almost every day, similar Captain’s that have traded the security of solitude for the sanctuary offered by the numerous coves along this route.

I mentioned yesterday’s laughable report to the Cantônian knight concerning his archer’s unique spending habits. I had expected humour but he instead seemed so perturbed by the news he excused his servant boy from today’s exertions to speak with their charge at length. My grasp of the language was not up to the details of their conversation regarding basic barter and economics, but surely even the most backwater Cantôn hamlet has seen a coin at some point?

Tunegan, 8th Day of Hastrimun
The male warrior priest, a knight and a holy man both in their strange custom, has become involved in the archer incident. There are no more reports of skipping coins in the sea waves, instead it seems the archer has become an avid gambler. This shared vice has done much to win them over to the crew. A new rumour has started, as they can be expected, that the archer is in fact a woman in disguise. I’ve asked Yori to encourage the men to refrain from spreading such are harmful rumour, given I understand warrior women as taboo in Cantôn custom as it is in Langland.

Wenegan, 9th Day of Hastrimun
Another day of ordinary weather, if this takes a turn for the worst we will have to consider taking shelter in one of the many coves. This is not my preferred course, a ship in shelter can also prove to be trapped by a lurking buccaneer.

The Cantôn knight was heard to mutter and thrash about in his sleep last night, the noise being heard from his rack in the spare room by the cabin boy on night watch. Apparently, the knight’s servant later refused Yori entry into the cabin, assuring him these fits typically passed quickly. Hardly worth noting in the log, except Yori reports that the knights servant boy had a sheathed sword in his hand when he answered the door.

Turnegan, 10th Day of Hastrimun
The weather turned for the better. Another week at this rate we should be nearing the Cathagi Strait.

I have given yesterday’s entry some thought and decided not to take it any further. Yori is right that barring access, but the Andrei knight is now more a friend than a mere passenger and I will not embarrass by raising his servant boy’s vigilance surrounding his masters troubled sleep. Intriguing but not, I think, a matter that requires further investigation.

Wonder what's the thrashing at night thing is about. And why Michail had a sword out. Did Emile had a schizo fit or something? We did pick [Insane] at one point, somewhere around anarchy fight.
>>5456115
let's wait for the last roll first I guess

>>5456115
we need one more roll. If we fail, we should probably reroll one of the fails to avoid going below 50 again and get us to 55DC. That's an extra double chance.

I actually think the riskiest part of this voyage was the beginning since the most important is not getting shipwrecked, boarded, or attacked as long as possible. Surely, there will be action towards the later half of this voyage.

I love this narrative. We just go from a boring trip to going Speedracer and shaving a whole week off our trip.

We just skipped a whole of rolls and all the risks associated with it. As much as I want oceans bounty I want as many of our pilgrims to survive as possible to we don't look bad to our priest, sailor, or Angel friend.

We need to roll a 100 and a 1 in the same week for some action stuff, this is boring.

>>5456186
This is just for the weather, and we choose the safest route. Wait until we have to cross the straits.

If we were alone we would likely have chosen a different more interesting route but we have a party and the pilgrims so their lives should not be put at undue risk.

The Coy Siren – Captain’s Log
Fenegan, 11th Day of Hastrimun
A sail was sighted north of us on the horizon, but was eventually lost in the small gathering of clouds. The winds were ambivalent today, at times blowing against us and at times hurrying us along.

Sendag, 12th Day of Hastrimun
The northern sail has not been sighted again, we may have left her behind as the winds improved. However, Benicio reports that he believes he saw sails heading away from us to the south. No one else could verify this, and I trust his eyes but the man admits it was far and away from a sure thing. According to him it could have been two ships with single sails, or one larger vessel with two masts.

Sandag, 13th Day of Hastrimun
The weather continues to hold, we passed a Cathagi tradesman heading north but they kept their distance and did not respond to our flag signals. This would be unusual behaviour for a Langlish or Cantônian vessel, but I am unperturbed by the behaviour of this Cathagi ship. Their captains can be personable enough on the shores, but wary of all while at sea. The writ of the Dragon offers scant practical protection out here.

The pilgrims held another service today, I have noticed one or two of the crew joining them lately.

Monegan, 14th Day of Hastrimun
In other matters, I am not much of a reader and have little material to share with our more gentlemanly passengers despite their requests. Nor is the little I have suitable for gentlemanly eyes either, the language barrier will do little to disguise the pictures. Instead the Storm Bear has had to content himself with questions of myself and other sailors during meals regarding our past visits to Cathagi. He is not the only one, many of the pilgrims are curious of the strange land not one of them have seen before. I have shared what knowledge I have, but I doubt even my verbose descriptions will quite capture the first sight of the Crescent Palace sprawled over that ancient metropolis like a, well, a dragon on its hoard of gold. I am quite hilarious at time.

Tunegan, 15th Day of Hastrimun
The Storm Bear did not join us at breakfast this morning, instead spending two hours on his knees in non-step prayer on the foredeck. This is apparently some penance for a minor transgression of the soul, and the ragged priest watched over him the entire while. I mislike the tradition, a man’s mind should be his own but there was much hushed murmuring among the pilgrims once that winds caught our sails at the end of the knights vigil.

The wind carried us along a most favourable current and as our speed continued to build I had the crew take routine measurements. Day and night we never broke less than 6 knots, at this rate we will be around the horn in a matter of days rather than weeks.

Wenegan, 16th Day of Hastrimun
The weather and currents have cooled their heels, which I found not the least disheartening. Favourable weather such as that can turn sharply into a gale without warning in these parts. We are now at the Cathagi Strait proper, a near a full week ahead of schedule.

Turnegan, 17th Day of Hastrimun
The heart of the Strait itself looms ahead. There is a mixture of anticipation and nerves among the crew, all the old hands well know that here is where we can expect the worst combined threat of weather and pirates here more than anywhere else.

This energy has filtered down to even the pilgrims, not least because of the two waxing moons that should reach their zenith in the coming nights. Bad luck to approach the Straits under a Twin Sister, or so the Cantônians say. The ragged priest is foremost in scoffing at this superstition, and for once he and I are in agreement. I will only abide reassuring superstitions on this ship.

I think I've established a tradition of adverse re-rolls being used against the highest passes first, so the 9 is safe. I don't know if I'd consider it immune if it was your only pass though. I'll have to go back and check whether I explicitly said it is effectively a double due to VISIONS.
