”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…

A stormy winter night. Many years from now. Not far from home.

“Come in from the cold, ya daft fool!” The innkeeper’s wife scolds the newcomer, taking his cloak and bustling him indoors from the furious storm towards the roaring hearth fire. ”Out in the rain, and on a night of Twin Sisters?! Why I never heard of such from a man not set on death from beast or cold!”

“You are right of course, good woman. I’d hoped to beat the squall here, but as usual fate makes a jest of me.” The man grins, setting down his instrument and eagerly warming his hands by the fire. “Ah, but the road has been long and arduous. I have not the coin for good food and a soft bed.”

“Tell us a story!” The innkeeper laughs heartily as he sets down a bowl of hot broth before the man, careful not to disturb the worn lute on the table. “Been right some time since last we’s had a good tale by the fire!”

The newcomer digs into the meal happily, graciously complimenting the cooking in between mouthfuls. Some might think the innkeeper is being all too generous to a troubadour yet to prove his talents, but it is obvious to most that the man is no stranger here despite his lack of formal introduction.

“Tell us the one about the knight! You said you’d tell us that one!” A young freckled-faced lad appears by the man’s shoulder. The new arrival smiles as he sips from his bowl, for there are many stories of knights in Canton. But he knows which one the boy means all the same.

”It better have a happy ending.” A equally freckled female, smaller and with gap teeth, peeks up from her seat at the table by her brother.

”Not all stories have happy endings, little one.” The man wags a finger at her glare, his other hand already tuning the instrument. With a single strum of the lute, the chattering tavern grows quiet aside from the gentle shuffle of seats as they turn to listen to the man. ”And even the beginnings of such tales are oft beset by hardship and strife.”

A few more tentative touches on the strings, testing strokes to fine tune the instrument, and the tavern is silent but for the crackling of the fire and the wanderer’s low voice.

”I suppose that is where we should start, yes?” The storyteller grins at nothing in particular, his distant eyes drawn to the licking hearthfire. ”From the beginning…”

A sunny spring day. Not far from home.

You roll your shoulders, trying to work out the stiffness earned from the better part of a day's soft ride. The spring wind is fresh rather than chilling today, the lagging bite of winter had still been in the air when you had first set out from your family’s lands but a few days ago. With the spring comes rain and, having already once been caught out in a spring shower without cover, the clouds ahead already having you wondering whether to seek shelter at the next farmhouse rather than continue ahorse.

You would have little to fear from the folk around here, like your father they are sworn to the service of the Duke and, in turn, the King. The landscape is at once alien and familiar to you, though you have never traveled this far along the Kingsroad before there remains familiar features of terrain that are the hallmark of your home Duchy…

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>Aubres, the seat of the Royal Court and the centre of power in the realm of Cantôn. The golden meadows of grain and barley are a familiar sight. The wealth of this small realm is evident from the towering gothic architecture to the rich cobbled roads in the countryside. [Kingsman: Ignore inferior social standing penalties during Persuade and Courtship rolls]

>Romaine, once the greatest of the Canton duchies. Fertile fields and fine vineyards abound in this eastern realm, but many are now overshadowed by the Isle of the Damned and the terrible toll in lives the vigil against it has cost. It is known for its strong presence of Holy Orders and unusually influential womenfolk. [Sacred Duty: +1 Step on the Path of Adam OR the Path of Cain]

>Pascae, the trading power of the realm which spans the entirety of the Cantôn western coastline. You grew up on the coast, with sunny days on sandy beaches or thunderous gales and storms depending on the time of year. You are not so far from home that you do not occasionally smell the salt water carried upon the breeze. [Merchant Guilds: +2 Starting Wealth (4/10)]

>Fallavon, the largest and most fecund of Duchies. It is the beating heart of Canton. With its fertile woods, isolated villages and towering tree lines it is known for its industrious woodsmen, rebellious foresters and being the frontline in Man’s struggle against the wilderness. The Law of Adam extends to the treeline and no further. [Fae Kissed: Rolls of 99 will always count as a success]

>Montbrun, the most remote of Cantôn realms to the North. Even after several days on the road in the opposite direction, the ever-white peaks of the mountains are as clear as day. They are a stubborn people and even the nobility has a reputation for bluntness bordering on a lack of courtly manners.

I will have a Social Knight or die trying! Perhaps he will even be able to flirt without spilling spaghettis!

Although I must say, Path of Cain (whatever it is) appeals to my inner edgelord.

As fun as it would be to pick the Fae Kissed one, I'm pretty sure the penalties for the persuade and courtship rolls will fuck us over hard at the worst possible moment.

Welcome, glad to have you back!

Posting will be a little slower than we had in BCQ, but for todays charging I will be updating more frequently than the once-per-day deal we will settle into later on. I'll try to leave an hour in between posts for the chargen.

I also haven't forgotten that last BCQ pastebin I'm supposed to be finishing off.

if it were any dubs are always a win we would consider it but 99 is pretty rare desu

I actually want anything but the royal court, I just voted for the one that had the most chance to win against it, but samefagging is raging for both sides right now

Honor and Valour mate. Relying on elf luck rather than skill is not wicked chivalrous.

I don't think it's samefag. Forgotten has been hyping and shilling this quest for months.

the whole board is here dude, some other quests even stopped updating because the players vanished and are now aboard the hype train

If you need to freeze in the cold to prove you're a man, you must have some sort of complex.

>>2980429

>>
>>2980429

Hey merchants are fine, but people like power, and people like the stoic knight archetype, so it makes sense what's getting picked.

I'm just sad we aren't gonna be starting in best dutchy. Bring part of the Vigil would be dope. Know our duty, know the costs, and kick ass. But it aint happening I think.
>>
>>2980443
I understand your worries, but it is literally the first vote. We'll see how much unchivalrous samefagging is at work in later votes.

I hope there isn't any, but 30+ players for /qst/ this quick IS unusual.

5 minute rule, just the number, AND must have more than 1 post by this ID.

Montbrun: 11

I understand your concern, but the vote is not close enough for a recast. Kingsman it is, we have one foot in the royal court already.

Life goes beyond your tidy bedchambers in the castle. Lack of experience is what courtmen have

>>2980496
https://youtu.be/OLmQTIS9Rv4
>>
>>2980498
you are just rewarding those that samefag man, but anyway, if that is what you want to run so be it

just ask for people to repeat their IPs, it is close enough
>>
Alright before the next post happens let's take bets on how many people vanish due to not getting what they want/were samefags and can't get back to the old IDs.

34 IPs not including the QM. I'm going to guess 50%.
>>
>>2980505
That's exactly what revotes are for. Do another vote and don't count "1 post by this ID" votes
>>
>>2980505
I voted for the north yet I approve Aubres as the winning option, there’s no way to prove samefagging this early, let’s do it
>>
It's the very first votes. Of course everyone would have 1 post ids.

Your father is sworn to the service of Duke Arman Aubres, ruler of these small but fertile lands and brother to the King. The Duke has long supported the King in building a united Cantôn, or at the very least playing the other Duchies off against each other enough to avoid another War of Borders. Your father had often been an advocate for increased authority to the King rather than the Dukes though, of course, that would benefit the lords of Aubres more than the lords of anywhere else.

Aubres may be the seat of the Royal Court in Aubrey, the magnificent capital and greatest city in the world, but it is by far the smallest of the realms. In the few days you have ridden along the well-maintained Kingsroad and already have crossed nearly the entirety of Aubres. You have passed countless golden meadows and ornate buildings that only longlasting power can afford, the land here has been cultivated and civilized by the hand of Man even before the arrival of Adam and Cain hundreds of years ago. It is the same sort of terrain that could be found on your family’s lands. You know it is too early for the Jaccabanda to have sprung into bloom on the sunward castle battlements at home, within eyesight of the capital, yet you find yourself imagining the flowers in bloom all the same.

You have only been this far from your household once before, as a young child, when your father took you and your siblings to the Royal Court in Aubrey as he attended a matter state. And that lay in the opposite direction.
Although but a newly minted knight after a mere year of squiring under your Uncle, you had not been without prospects at home. Father would not have begrudged another lance under his command for the coming spring, he would likely have seen it as a fine investment given his purse paid for the better part of your armour and saddle. As for Mother, she had all but talked your ear off about your neighbour’s recently come-of-age cousin that would make a fine opportunity for marriage.

A place at your family’s table, a reasonable marriage given your status and a novice knight’s modest retainer. Perhaps even a command and land of your own one day, years later. Staying at home would not have made a pauper of you.

Adam and Cain were two brothers that lead their people out of slavery from across the sea to Canton. They were the first knights, Adam was focused on building a just and peaceful kingdom whereas Cain was a zealous destroyer of evil. Most Holy Orders follow either one or the other. Generally speaking, it is similar to the Secrety Softy / Black Heart choices from BCQ but with hidden bonuses with the more points you accrue.

In broad strokes
Path of Adam = Lawful justicar
Path of Cain = Smite evil crusader
Path of Thorns = Ruthless ambition

>>2980572
Yes. Though one would say 'murder' doesn't apply to beastfolk and villains.

So considering we're a young knight how would our cynicism/Idealism play out in your mind?

If idealistic we would be that boisterous knight that walks int to rooms going “what ho my fellow crusaders, anyone up for some jolly smiting”

For many young knights their days of Errantry are seen as a rite of passage, something done as a matter of course. It was not so demanded in your household, though at Court it sometimes went unsaid that knights who had performed a period of Errantry were viewed with more regard than their peers who had not. This was not something that particularly concerned you, the importance of your Errantry stemmed from your sense of duty. You have the power to help folk, so you should. Mother approved, but your eldest brother had made some cutting remarks that you had been listening a tad too closely to the priesthood droning on.

So naturally, once you had gained your Knighthood, setting out on Errantry was the obvious next step. But why become a knight at all? Though knighthood was expected, there were other paths open to a third-born son that would not dishonour your family. You could have joined the scholarly priesthood or dedicated yourself to administering your family’s lands as a steward. You could even have joined the ranks of those foppish courtiers always trying to curry favour with the Prince and Lords of Aubrey, living off a stipend and doing nothing much aside from drinking, gambling and gossiping.

Instead you took up the sword.

A peasant’s place is in the field, toiling day after day in their common drudgery to keep the lands prosperous and the warriors that protect them fed. You do not pretend to assume you could do their role as well as they do, to demonstrate the servility and humble work that they must. But that is because it is not your place to busy yourself with such modest duties. No, you are destined for greater things. Your place is on the battlefield, keeping the lesser folk safe through your might and skill at arms. You will do so, because you are a Knight. And not just any Knight, you will be the greatest Knight in Canton or die in the doing of it.

You have worked hard for your position as a Knight, even in your youth you were miles beyond the ability of most of the other squires and men-at-arms training in the tiltyards, better than most but less skilled than some. You had a natural aptitude of course, it was in your blood. Despite this given your lack of actual combat experience it was little surprise that you would often lose bouts to the more grizzled veterans of your father's household.

Still, the master-at-arms had some praise for you, occasionally remarking to Father upon your...

Yes, there is even a Sorceress in the King's Court. Technically speaking, all use of Old Magic is unlawful and only the most highly constrained uses of it are permitted and rarely in the open.

In-character the miracles performed by Adam and Cain's mother (Salve Reginae) were holy miracles and NOT magic. People have been burnt at the stake for even suggesting such.

High tier expensive/quest items are magical in nature and OP as fuck, but extended use shortens your lifespan and makes you sterile.

The master-at-arms was a strict man, and unforgiving of sloppiness or lack of commitment. As a child you had to suppress a shudder whenever he turned his milky-white eye in your direction, blinded in the same blow that left a hideous scar from crown to chin. The story of how he got it would change week-to-week according to the whispers of the pages and squires you trained with.

He was quick to condemn and rarely spoke in praise, the moment when you outclassed him with a textbook back-parry and thrust that put him on the ground had you in equal parts elated and full of childhood fear at his thunderous expression. That day at your father’s table when he remarked to Father approvingly on your natural aptitude for the war-forms and stances was one of the proudest moments of your life. You smile at the memory. It was the day you were gifted the heater shield on your back, emblazoned with the family crest, and sworn in to your Uncle’s service as a squire.

The specific heraldry of even relatively new families can be ornate and complex, we may discuss this as it comes up or whenever you ask. For the most part the major/minor colours and partition is generally all that you display and is more than enough to identify you to most noble folk.
Pascae Duke = Blue Major, Yellow Minor
Fallavon Duke = Green Major, White Minor
Romaine Duchess = White Major, Burgundy Minor
Montbrun Duke = Black Major, Grey Minor

Another option is selecting a symbol and major colour, though this would imply your house is fairly minor and only recently come to prominence enough to have their own castle.

Burgundy partition, white/red. Got it.

As it is remotely similar to the Romaine Duchy colours, i'm going to put your families lands on the Aubres/Romaine border.

As for the symbol, I'm happy to combine a sleelping lion with a paw resting on a skull. Fits quite well, really.

Would anons like the symbol seperate and distinct or worked into the partition as if the red in >>2980970 were branches? (Like pic)

I think this shield is real frikkin neat, though obviously I don't have time to draw it up right now.

Also pic related is a little out of date, but there for those that want a bit of lore dump


Your steed is thirsty, tugging at the reigns towards the creek flowing by the road. Now that you mention it, so are you. You dismount and stretch your legs, unbuckling the shield from your back to admire it again. You have maintained it carefully, the sleeping lion and skull symbol remains vivid and the Red-White painted cross appears brand new. You have always appreciated the family crest of the lion, its paw draped over the skull of a defeated opponent. Traditionally the skull is human, demonstrating your families resolve against those that defy the King, but you recall your uncle’s illustrious tabard depicted the skull of some beast. Likely the one that gave him that limp. Regardless, the message of the symbol remains the same. Your family is a powerful and dangerous entity that is content to rest secure in its own supremacy over its domain and woe to those that rouse it, for they will not live to regret their folly.

”Never rest in war, my sons. Never surrender. Throw your body and soul into the fight without hesitation.” You remember Father speaking to you and your brothers at the table one night, his stern gaze lingering on each of you in turn, the murmured grunts of agreement from the other men at the table. ”But remember to live once the fight is done. To build after you have destroyed. Then you will earn the love of your people, the regard of your fellow man and the favour of the Almighty.”

Why your father cared what the common folk thought, you never really understood. Still, he impressed upon your eldest brother the importance of good stewardship in these peaceful times. A noble was born to fight, true, but also rule. Your family has long been content to work towards the prosperity and wealth of their lands and people, taking up the sword only when it is called for. And you are that sword. And when that sword is drawn, it is never sheathed until you or the Foe lies dead in the ground.

You are interrupted in your thoughts of home and family by the nickering of your steed.

A Knight more fortunate than yourself would usually have a horse for riding, or switching between two, and another solely for battle. As it is, frequent breaks on the road must suffice to maintain its capability. You cannot tire out your fierce and noble Warhorse before it ever reaches the field of battle after all.

>Brutus, Destrier Bonus /fit/ steed = noble steed

Your mount is a fine horse, as noble a beast as any knight could hope to ride. Compared to common wagon horses and draught animals it has the bearing of a prince, or perhaps, a general. It was a gift from Uncle, when you had told him of your intentions for Errantry. He told he was honestly glad to be rid of the mighty destrier, already the ferocious steed-of-war had cracked the ribs of one stablehand and nearly killed another.

”It is a young man’s horse.” He had said to you in the stables with a grin, his own hair only just starting to show streaks of grey. ”It would be wasted on an old codger like me, growing fat and slow in the fields while I do the same at your father’s table. Go on and give him a pet, lad”

To your utter shock and surprise, Brutus bit you quite savagely on the hand. Your Uncle had laughed so hard he nearly fell over. It took months to get to the point where you could ride him without being thrown off. And even then, you were the only one he didn’t act aggressively towards.

Brutus nudges you impatiently, you’re blocking his path to a particularly promising patch of grass. He does indeed have the temperament of a young horse, unused to a regular rider. The first time you tried to ride him he bucked you, sending you crashing into the ground to the laughter of your Uncle and other onlookers. He nearly trampled a couple of cousins of yours that laughed at your latest bucking, and the massive brute has shown a surprising amount of loyalty to you since then. You don’t doubt Brutus would trample a beast or two underhoof at your command, and likely enjoy doing it. He has settled since then, but at times his temperament shows through.

You sigh in exasperation as you dip your hand in the creek and splash your face, at least the magnificent charger isn’t harassing you for treats again. As you rub the back of your neck with a wet hand Brutus stomps a hoof into the water, slightly splashing you in the cool contents of the river.

The impromptu wash is a shocking, but surprisingly refreshing.

Our Knight is determined to save the realm, he is sure he can do it by himself if he needs to (all the more glory!) but he looks forward to sharing his adventure with fellow nobleborn comrades. Duties requiring isolation and solitude in squalid conditions are particularly harsh on our knight, mentally speaking. Although he does not necessarily relish in the suffering of peasants, he has very little patience for those upstarts acting above their station disrespecting those of nobleblood and is by default likely to be inclined to believe the word of a noble of the word of a commoner. Our Knight is going to defend the good people of Cantôn, be the best at doing it, and make many friends and companions for life while doing it.

Or die trying.

Family
A small but prosperous piece of land in Aubres, near the Romaine border. Your father is pureblood Aubres but your mother has a little Romani in her. Probably explains her piousness and willingness to speak back to your father every now and then. You have many relatives (contacts) in Aubres and a few relatives in Romaine.

Your family is known for having few enemies, in part because they are peaceful and rarely start conflicts and in part because the few conflicts they do get into are usually pursued to the utter destruction of their opponent (be it Foe or rival house). Your family will always obey the King, the only exception to this may be if they are commanded to cause needless violence or retreat in battle. By way of your realm choice, your family is considered by default to be in favour with the King and this is unlikely to change without your interference.

Your colours are Red Burgundy on a white background. Your symbol is a sleeping lion with one paw resting on a skull. The lion is usually depicted as white with a red outline, the skull changes depending on the individual family member.

This map is terrible and will change! Though the basic locations will remain the same. In-character, you bought it from an unreliable peasant merchant.

Your laughter rings out as your splash the truculent horse back. Brutus brays at you with the confident certainty that, if he wanted to, he could charge you down and have the final word in any argument between you two. You hazard a guess that laughing with your horse is a sure sign of loneliness, and you must admit you’re even glad for Brutus’ moody company right now. By the Almighty it would be good to have a fellow companion, you’ve heard of errant knights forming bands from a few men to dozens of young warriors out on the road to slay a particularly fearsome creature together and share in the comradely earnt glory.

Brutus snorts again and nickers, this time more insistent. You pause from washing your face, something has disturbed him. You are just about to dismiss it as an irritation, perhaps you need to readjust the saddle or his bridle, when you realise that the birds have stopped singing. You pause, remaining perfectly still as your eyes scan the tree line on the other side of the river. You see nothing moving there, the sun shining clearly on a paddock through the bush, but your left hand grips your shield all the same.

You are acutely aware of the distance between yourself and your weapon, tucked into the side of your steed’s saddlebag. Even your rondel dagger is stored away. A foolish mistake, even a rank amateur like you recognises it, and it is quite possibly your last.

Your head whips around at the snap of branches behind you on the other side of the road. The creature that stumbles out of the foliage appears as surprised at your presence as you are at his. It walks on two legs, furred like a goat from its cloven hooves to its burly chest. Two horns sprout from its forehead and curl up behind its skull. It is the size of a man, a particularly burly and athletic one at that, and in its right hand it grips a crude axe forged from heavy black iron. Although you have never seen one in person before, you recognise the creature immediately. A beastfolk abomination, one of the Foe.

The Foe’s unnatural square pupils narrow at your crouched figure. With a guttural bray it charges at you…

[2/2]

Brutus, Adam bless him, does not shy away at your sudden rush towards him. The pungent scent of the Foe has alarmed the beast, but he has been trained well and will not abandon his charge so easily. The beastman is quick to react but slow to close the distance, even in your alarm you notice the fletching sticking out from the shoulder of the beast. It has been injured, and that saving grace buys you enough time to reach your weapon.

Your hand closes on the hilt in your saddlebag just as the beastman comes within reach, its arms heaving the crude but unmistakably lethal axe overhead to split you in twain...

Halberds are baller as fuck, but they're a formation fighting weapon, not really a weapon for single combat.
Personally I'm hoping to work up to a langschwert.
Because every videogame ever is DEAD wrong about two handed swords. They are LIGHTNING fast when properly used due to the sheer leverage afforded by the second hand, long hilt, and proper balance of the weapon.

Brutus rears up at the approach of the beastman, the creature flinches away from the strapping Destrier’s flailing hooves and tries to readjust himself to swing at you with his crude axe.

But you are ready. You charge into the creature shield-first in classic Stone Stance, winding the brute. Normally a shoulder-charge like that would put a man on the ground for a finish up blow, but the creature barely registers the shield bash with a grunt. You had anticipated this, remembering the lessons of your master-at-arms that the beastfolk are known for being unusually sturdy. You follow up your charge with an underhand swing, straight through the beasts open guard into its lower jaw. The results are messy and undeniably effective. Castle-forged steel slams into the unprotected flesh, crushing bone and driving the fragments up further into the foe’s skull.

The creature sways for a moment, blinking in stupid confusion. Then it slumps to the dirt, most certainly dead. You’ve won. No cheering crowds, as you’d once imagined, nor any sound at all really aside from Brutus’ outraged neighing as it pushes forward and stomps the already-dead foe into further oblivion. It is victory, a remote unseen victory, but victory nonetheless.

You’ve never killed living creature before, except once on your father’s hunts. Or when you had to help out in the kitchen as punishment for some misdemeanour. But not like this.

“Pathetic.” You sneer as you wipe the blood off of your weapon on the creature’s furred legs. This is the feared beastfolk, scourge of undefended villages and legendary foes from the War of Names?

How are you supposed to prove you are the world’s greatest knight if you’re putting down sorry rabble like this? The creature should have just wandered off with its wound and bled out in the woods, saving you the bother. You would have earnt more glory in hunting down a great Elk on your father’s property. Still, you’ve proven one thing. You haven’t forgotten your master-at-arms’ harsh lessons, even when under sudden attack. Leaving your weapon in your saddlebag was a foolish mistake ill-befitting a great knight like yourself, you won’t make it again.

You lean in closer to inspect the corpse, or what’s left of it after Brutus was done grinding it into the dust. Contrary to popular belief, the blood of the beastfolk is not black but a very deep red. Much darker than a humans, with a tar-like quality to it, so you can see how the tales got started. The stories about the stink are all too true however, a fact you are becoming unfortunately familiar with as the last of the creature’s lifeblood drains out onto the grass and the soles of your boots. The thing shudders finally, becoming deathly still at last.
The thing does indeed resemble a nightmarish cross between a human male and an animal, you recall Father telling you that the goat types such as this were the most common sort. You don’t recall goats having such wickedly sharp teeth, but aside from that the description is accurate. Beneath the creature’s rags and rough fur, it has the physique of an impressively muscular man. Strong, but also a weakness. You know exactly how to kill a man after all.

You inspect the wound closer. A crossbow bolt, deep in the left shoulder. The wound is recent. That bolt means the beast has been fighting someone close by.

”Brutus, come!” You snap at your mount, who has gone back to nibbling at the grass after the interruption. He regards with an unimpressed look but obeys all the same.
You take your seat in the saddle and nudge him forward, though he bristles at that. Not because you hurt him, he just doesn’t like being told what to do. You laugh aloud at his recalcitrance, spurring him into a sudden gallop.

”Onwards! To Glory!” Adventure awaits.

I have to call it a day there, gentlemen. I will be busy IRL for the rest of tonight and in the office all day and night tomorrow (and they block /qst/ >_>). I’ll pick this up again on Sunday, and after that will switch to post-a-day updates, I will attempt to be consistent in my time (roughly 4 hours from now every day). Flash votes will be called if samefagging is suspected, don’t pull no unchivalrous shit.
Guys, this has been a fantastic start and I love the enthusiastic input from everyone! Hell, even without samefagging each chargen post was getting a dozen votes at least under an hour which is bloody awesome for the usually slow board. I cannot wait to QM our noble Kingsman knight.

Will he be humbled by his travels? Will those travels include leaving Canton? Will he become embroiled in court politics? Will he focus all his energy in proving that no, he IS in fact the greatest? Will he be a true knight? I mean, I think we’ve locked out buxom-peasant waifu route early on but who knows Feel free to ask any questions about the setting, though I will get a lore pastebin in the next thread. I’m excited!!!

I also have not forgotten that those last BCQ epilogue posts are due.

We are a knight sowrn to protect the innocent and weak. It will be a really dickhead move to abandon villagers in danger just so we can play poke with our other knights.

>All of this is completely up for discussion. I won't be able to check in on this thread for a while and I always welcome original options!
Thanks for running Forgotten. I really appreciate that you will update daily. Most QMs these days just do a short session a week and then call it a day.

>Will he be humbled by his travels? Will those travels include leaving Canton?
The only way I see him being humbled is by being proven that he is absolutely not the greatest knight in the world. Whoever is this world's version of Sir William Marshal should kick his ass to humble him.
>>
>>2981444
Also why so many French names? Do you have a frog fetish?
>>
>>2981520
when I came here I was hoping to play with a guy in a dented armor but still functional that was good in battle but didn't look like it, maybe that can be the future of our would be asshole after life beats some humility into him. If we can actually make some character development later on this is a good start actually, later we can look at the younger knights that remind us of ourselves and laugh at their naivety.

But again, that is just me, I'm learning to like this guy if we manage to keep him balanced
>>
>>2981522
I think we are frenchies because of our starting area, if we had gone with mountains it would be some nordic or germanic names and so on
>>
>>2981523
I'm just saying if he is going to be humbled, then it has to realistic. He seems very sure that he is the greatest knight in the world, so proving him wrong in that by having the actual greatest knight in the world defeat him would humble him due to the fact that there are way better knights than him.
>>
>>2981524
Oh, that makes sense then.
>>
>>29815278
To be realistic*
Typo
>>
>>2981527
I can think of some other ways too, for example, seeing that great knight die seconds after the start of a battle by a stray peasant spear, going for a charge just to be hit by a crossbow in the leg and try to survive not being trampled to death.

War and battle, I imagine even more so against the Foe, will do some shit to a person and give some light about how utterly meaningless individual skill can be in the heat of battle. But let's see, we have a long road to walk and talking a little about it actually made me hyped to see what is to come our way.

Why? Does Canton have a stigma against peasant and a noble marrying? Or is it because our character is haughty and will never mix his pure blood with the low people?

On the question of the setting, how does the fedual system work in Canton? Is it just the King, his dukes and their vassal lords? Where are the barons, bishops, counts, burghers, marquises, etc...?

>>2981531
>I can think of some other ways too, for example, seeing that great knight die seconds after the start of a battle by a stray peasant spear, going for a charge just to be hit by a crossbow in the leg and try to survive not being trampled to death.
No, that will just make him a cynic. He needs to be proven that he is the greatest knight out there. If he adknowledges that there are knights out there who could easily curbstomp him, then he will have no choice but to be humbled.
>>
>>2981535
>that he is the greatest knight out there.
That he isn't*
Typo.
>>
>>2981535
Yeah! Buxom-peasant waifu is great, speacially if she can change our mind a little about peasants. We marry a noble lady but we truly like to spend our time with our peasant mistress.
>>
>>2981535
But he already knows there are better knights than him out there, he just wants to be one of them.
>>
>>2981534
Why would you think that anon?

It’s not like Forgotten has left a bloody path of dead and broken characters behind...
>>
>>2981537
>We marry a noble lady but we truly like to spend our time with our peasant mistress.
Not very knightly and won't fit with his traits. He needs to lose haughty and gain lustful trait for him to ever consider adultery.
>>
Man, you're all a bunch of pussies.

Who wants another cutboard vanilla MC who is good and humble and pukes rainbows? Prince was already the warrior jaded by war and fights, so let's avoid that one for this time.

Let the MC mature, but keep his haughtiness. Give him a real sense of noblesse oblige, where the peasants must listen to their lords but the latter must protect the former. Lawful Good material right there, but with a little twist.

Or we can act like grow-ups and just wait because this is simply chargen.
>>
>>2981539
>But he already knows there are better knights than him out there, he just wants to be one of them.
Nah, he clearly want's to be the greatest knight in the world and thinks it can be accomplished.
>''Will he focus all his energy in proving that no, he IS in fact the greatest?''

He thinks he is the best and will only be humbled if he gets BTFO by the actual greatest knight.
>>
>>2981543
>Who wants another cutboard vanilla MC who is good and humble and pukes rainbows? Prince was already the warrior jaded by war and fights, so let's avoid that one for this time.
If you wanted that, then you shouldn't let idealist be picked over cynic. An idealist strives to be good and ''puke rainbows''. Letting him do the opposite won't fit his traits.
>>
>>2981545
>he wants to be the best knight in the world so he should be beaten up and forced to never realise his goal
I guess you just hate fun then, and we should ignore all the things you say.
>>
>>2981548
I tried, hon.

But I'm not opposed to an Idealistic MC. I don't want to see an Idealistic, Humble MC because that's so generic it hurts.
>>
>>2981543
I however agree that we shouldn't have another Prince. Plenty of historical knights irl went through war and still maintained their idealist traits like William Marshal. Not everyone becomes jaded and broken by war.
>>
>anons already arguing
c'mon, the quest has barely started. just roll with the flowwww
>>
>>2981550
I really don't mind it if that how it's gonna go (I will be very surprised though if there aren't better knights out there), but if he is gonna be humbled, then it's gotta be realistic.
>>
>>2981551
I agree with you on that, but the already picked traits shouldn't be ignored just because we don't like them. I don't mind if he is never humbled.
>>
>>2981542
Also forgot to mention he needs to lose idealist too. An idealist will never willingly brake his marriage vows.

You know....I could actually get behind this, depending on how you look our traits they are pretty good.

There is no denying that we are better than the smallfolk and that they owe us respect and obedience[haughty] and for that same reason we have to do everything we can to protect them[idealist] but we don't make much of a fuss about it since we are more on the gregarious side[Hearty]

You do not have to gallop along the side track for long to find the source of the beast’s wound ahead, a hand-pulled wagon has been overturned on the trail ahead. Two more of the creatures are picking over the cart, it’s previous peasant owner lying with his skull messily split in the undergrowth next to it. Beside his corpse lays a shattered crossbow, it seems he only got off one shot. You spot the torn skirts of another limp figure crumpled in the discarded refuse the beasts have thrown about in their looting. You cannot tell whether the figure is alive, though you doubt it.

A warhorse’s hooves are not a subtle sound, the creatures notice the presence of the armoured knight on the trail immediately. One immediately snatches it’s choice of ill-gotten goods and flees into the undergrowth, a murderer -and- and craven. Knights like you have ever been the bane of its kind, it has no desire to face the Blade of Cain here.

The other creature stands his ground, facing you down on the trail over the wreckage of the unfortunates they’ve just slain and robbed. It snorts and bashes the haft of a crude iron axe on its wooden shield, a clear challenge.

“En Garde, beast!” You cry, spurring Brutus into a charge immediately. Your steed responds instantly, himself eager to inflict pain on these foul smelling beastmen.

To its credit, the creature holds its ground and readies itself behind the primitive shield as your warhorse bears down on him. This beast is just a fool then, not a coward.

Your blow splinters half the shield on impact, the creature gives a pained howl as the momentum of your charge sends it flying into the dirt. The creatures shield arm is clearly broken, though it still tries to stumble into something resembling a combat stance as you urge Brutus in close to deliver the finishing blow.

You spur Brutus on into the stumbling beast, your Morningstar held aloft for the final blow.
The creature seems to understand that this is the end, struggling in vain to bring up the shield to block your strike. Its reckless folly in standing against you has been rewarded with nothing more than Adam’s Justice for its crimes. The beast narrows it’s eyes at you in pure hatred as the mace comes swinging down.

”Gorbag Pinkskin!” It hisses before you send the creature’s soul, if it even has one, screaming into the Pit.

You are shocked to hear that the things can speak, though you had heard the rumours. You couldn’t understand the crude language of course, you doubt these things are even capable of speaking the fairer tongue of Man. Smart enough to speak their primitive words, dumb enough to test himself against you.

[2/2]
The melee has lasted only a few moments, though already the other beast has disappeared into the growth. In his haste you don’t doubt that they’ve left behind an easily followed trail in the brush, possibly back to their campsite. You could end the beastmen threat here for good if you found that. You consider charging after it immediately, but a quick look at the off-trail terrain curbs your enthusiasm for the idea. You could catch up quickly on horseback at a steady pace, but you’re certainly not galloping over that.

A noise from the wreckage of the cart spins you around, you see that the limp figure from before is not quite dead. It’s a peasant woman, roughly the same age of the man lying dead not two metres away. You try to rouse her, but she stares into nothing blankly. She’s breathing, but very softly. Her wrist is badly broken, showing bone, and your hand comes away slick with blood when you touch a matted spot of hair. It may not be the only harm she’s suffered at the hands of these creatures, you have heard stories…

Along the Kingsroad this mid-morning you passed an impressive stone structure, likely a church of some sort. You don’t rate the poor peasant’s chances, but you suppose you could bring her there for aid and then return here to follow the trail of the beast. You don’t relish the idea of demeaning Brutus with a peasant passenger, but you suppose it -is- what a Knight is supposed to do in these situations.
Thunder overhead draws your eyes to the growing clouds in the sky. It appears the refreshing spring shower is in fact a late winter storm.

”Pit take it!” You curse, the storm will likely wash away the other beast’s fresh tracks. Soon enough there’ll be nothing left to follow.
You look to the woods where the beastman scurried off into and then back at the likely dying peasant woman.

>Tracking
>Fresh tracks, Home Duchy terrain

Crit-Fail = You find the beastmen. Or rather, they find you.
0 = You lose the trail, you are alone at night in hostile territory. Anything could be out here.
1 = The trail grows cold, you must pass a Pathfinder test to continue pursuit.
2 = You hunt down the last craven beastman.
3 = You trail the beastman to his camp, time to end this threat once and for all.
Crit-Pass = You track them to the camp, your attack takes the beasts utterly by surprise!

The craven beastmen is probably too familiar with this forest, so he will return at is worms tribe without problems.

After saving here, we could ask for informations about the beastmens in this forest. And if someone knows where their den is, or have a vague idea like near some mountains, river ecc. ..


Then we can go alone, or maybe get some good mercs, or raise a militia of peasants or try to have other knights with us.

”Easy now, easy.” You mutter as you lift the peasant woman into the cart and cover her with one of the dirtied blankets. It’s not much, but she’s beyond help now. You will return, if only to let the nearest village know that two of their number need burying.

You wonder if you’re doing the right thing. It hardly feels knightly, leaving a woman on the verge of death as you steer Brutus off and follow the trail. Perhaps a great knight would have performed a miracle, the blessings of Salve Reginae saving the commoner like the priests say Adam was capable off. But saving the woman is not in your power. What is in your power is vengeance.

As the first drops of rain begin to patter down you feel a burning anger at those responsible. The victims may be mere peasants but they did not deserve this fate, and this is still within the borders of fair Aubres where they had every right to expect safety along the road. The beastman and its ilk will not escape justice.

>Tracking 3 Success

The craven beastman was as foolish as his fellow, leaving behind an easily followed trail of broken branches and disturbed ground. You halt Brutus every now and then to check the tracks, but it is hardly necessary. The creature has made a beeline for its abode, a sorry camp that even the most sloppy lowborn folk would be ashamed to be seen living in. Barbaric symbols and rough hide tents are barely distinguishable from the refuse lying around the rest of the ground.

It is not a large camp and there is no evidence of their women or young. You spot two beastmen hauling the carcass of a deer out of the rain as a third, likely the craven, sits miserably by the dwindling campfire. A hunting party then, one that has ventured further from the Fallavon woods for the rich target the Aubres lands offer. But they let their envy of Man’s prosperity consume them, and now they will feel the full consequences of their actions.

The gathered beastmen spot you just as Brutus nears the clearing and even the craven one picks up a crude weapon as the others charge. There will be no fleeing from you this time.

>>2987835
The bonus is doubled in formation charges with other knights, but aside from acquiring a superior breed of horse (like a Wastelands Mustang) there is no way to increase the base DC.

So I'm betting we're going to have to infuse our horse with either Unholy or Holy essence to upgrade it. Because if the requirements are to get a better breed of horse to increase the DC one way then the other way is going to be even more extreme and possibly with a high risk of failure.
>>
>>2987843
I wonder if our horse has beem castrated or not to protect the breeding line from spreading.

If in need of coin, could we lend Brutus as a stallion for a night or two?

The Pit has no fury like a Knight on the path of Cain.

”In the name of Cain!” The beastmen have but a matter of moments before the dark shadow of Brutus closes the distance. A second of hesitation, a nervous backstep as they too late consider escape and then suddenly you are among them like a fox in the henhouse. Your first overhead blow catches the foremost beastman with the bitten ear head on, the sheer impetous of your blow shattering his primitive blade and catching him full in the chest. He falls, stunned, and is crushed like a gnat beneath Brutus’ charge. The great black destrier doesn’t even break stride.

”Have at thee!” You snarl, twisting about deftly in your saddle to bring your heavy weapon crashing into the forehead of the beastman with a snapped horn leaping at you from the other side. You see up close the foes eyes bulge stupidly as your strike flings it into the ground, clear white fluid visible through the blood in the head wound.

The creature tries to get up, too stupid to realise that it’s dead already, and Brutus whirls about with an outraged neigh sending a steel shod hoof straight through the foe’s skull and emptying the rest of what was left of its brains out onto the muddy dirt.

The remaining creature backs away, square eyes wide in horror. It holds an axe limply in one hand while the other is held out in front in a supplicant gesture. You recognise it from the site of the attack, craven to the end. It was doubtless far more confident and self-assured when it was murdering innocent peasantfolk.

”Mishkh! Mishkh varna Mishkh!”

You don’t need to speak their tongue to know that it is pleading for its life.

Of course, a tourney might be the perfect chance to demonstrate his good breeding. Though it won't be in any amount to justify an immediate +1 Wealth or anything.

If you're at peace and taking it easy for a year as you kick back in your lodgings you could earn a bit of Wealth through this gradually over a year.

I'm conflicted as to whether the breeding of horses is something a knight would see as the concern of a skilled commoner stablemaster or if knights would be the equine equivalent of a gearhead in modern times.

As per the spoiler, it is fully within your writ under the Blade of Cain to execute justice for the creatures. Human brigands and outlaws like the Bluejays get the benefits of the Law of Adam, not beastfolk. There is one ranger-esque Holy Order that does not even allow brigands that.

Really the constable would just ask why you're going through the bother. Cain-aligned Holy Orders seeing you do it might even take offense, hanging being too 'good' for beasts.
>>
>>2987858
For general breeding it'll probably be given to the commoners, but for that ultra autistic "gotta get that extra speed out of my horse/gotta have my horses run for literal constant days" level of breeding then yeah I can see a Knight getting their metaphorical hands dirty.
But it's just my guess as to how this works. Nothing more than that.

”Now you ask for mercy? Where was mercy for those good folk back there?” You gesture back to the trail with your bloody mace and shake your head. You dig your heels into your magnificent black destrier and raise your weapon for the executing blow. ”The wages of sin are death, beast!”

The spiked pit trap was so clearly disguised that you don’t realise what happened when the ground gives way. For a few moments all is black, you wake to the sound of Brutus’ screams. Your beautiful steed is kicking in vain, shrieking at the three long wooden spikes jutting up through its shoulder neck and belly. He stares at you with wild panicked eyes and shuddering breaths, you tear your eyes away from the sights to the foe. You’re in a precarious position, having landing half over the pits edge. You’ve hit your head, everything is dizzy, where is your shield? You know with a cold gnawing dread that you’re in danger like you’ve never in all your life been before.

The beast towers over you, placating and snivelling posture vanished in favour of a gleeful wicked snarl. Filthy yellow teeth glisten as it steps towards you, axe in hand.

Oh no, not trying to help a woman who was a foot in the grave to kill the ones responsible and prevent future assaults damned our soul, clearly.

So you're saying an idealist can desire to get justice. Or see things killed. No, he must act like a clichè.

I was the one who rolled that 100 and I feel like shit. But at least I'm not wussing out like you all.

FYI, you are currently two degrees away from death. With no Companion to activate the Death's Door ability you are legit 2 degrees of health away from an untimely death.

It would make for a good bard's tale on humility though.

>>2987970
>So you're saying an idealist can desire to get justice. Or see things killed. No, he must act like a clichè.
Whether it's a cliché doesn't really matter. It's the traits that have been given to him and we basically went against it. The innocent women was still alive when we arrived, and we abandoned her for revenge. Try to rationalize it won't change the fact that's exactly what we did.

By the same coin Cynicals should have taken the Path of Thorns there. That sounds fucking retarded.

Idealists don't need to be medics or even care about people - they care about ideals, about something greater than people.

If you can't think that idealism is anything beyond 'help everyone in sight' then it's your problem.

I don't see anything retarded about that. That's exactly what a cynic would've done.

Idealists definitely need to care about people since we are a knight sworn to protect the weak and innocent. It's our vows.

That's exactly what idealism is to a knight though.

Nigga first of all I voted for fucking caine and don't regret it at all second of all stop asserting something I haven't said at all because it blatently false.

Someone in this situation even if is strong and a knight is just a corpse already.
Well the beastmen will probably make us uncounscious and eat us alive during the night with the rest of the tribe.
If our knight dies is same for the quest ?

Hey at least it's still early! We can make another character soon
>>
>>2988005
Yes, protect the weak and innocent - which can be done by slaying the wicked, like the damn vow in the OP says and Cain-aligned Orders seem to do.

Stop pretending Idealist = Red Cross Knight.
>>2988006
I should have said 'most of you', my apologies.

Cautious probably wasn't the best tactical choice here, imo Guarded would be better. Without your shield your AV is too low for doubling it to matter much

we were being proactive in our protection that woman was clearly done for and dying and there was no guarantee that riding for help would save her

In the meantime their was no telling what the beasts would do after having escaped or where or when they would attack again better to hunt them down and slay them before they harm others.

TLDR both are correct but neither is incorrect either.

That really doesn't matter that much. We will be constantly fighting, not engaging in intrigue. Look at what picking noble, southern, flowery knight did for us here.

To be fair, even if we would have optimized for combat, the dice would have bitten us in the rear. This was just bad luck at th start of the quest.

But that won't appeal to people who just want to smite everything while screaming that God wills it, so it's not going to happen.

Thorns politics does sound interesting, but we would still need some action to make the quest any fun.

Maybe QM could devise a combat system for heated court discussions. A literal verbal jousting sort of thing.

>>2988104
To be honest all these good suggestions make me think that we've just chosen the worst possible traits together during chargen and made a boring generic character. Maybe it's a good thing that he actually died desu.

And we've also got a good feel for the quest. I'm digging the system a lot.
>>
>>2988102
you say that but a Knights life in not only battle its also court & Intrigue and on the field our standing with those of better station will impact our fortunes in combat.

your point in stipulation, stipulation based on the thread and BQC but still stipulation.

Personally I see Cynics and Pragmatists and Diplomancers thrown around more in quests than Brash, proud and Idealistic charactes but maybe thats because I eschew certain quest types.

No, it cannot end like this. You are Gabriel Rousseau, son of Lord Jean Rousseau, a Knight of Canton and Kingsman of Aubres! You will not die to so ignoble a foe!

You drag yourself to your feet, swinging your mace at the foe’s knee. It sidesteps your dazed blow easily, kicking you back to the edge of the pit. Your hand reaches out for your scattered heater shield, the red and white Sleeping Lion of Rousseau inches from your face as your roll over in the mud. The beastman’s axe lashes down out your outstretched hand, severing it at the wrist.

You stare mutely at the gory mess where your left hand should be, in too much shock to scream aloud. The pain is so blinding that you don’t even notice the foe kicking away your mace. The creature grips the front of your chainmail shirt and lifts you up face-to-face.

” Mishkh Pigskin! Mishkh varna me!” The beastman growls, it’s stinking breath almost as shocking as the loss of your hand. The bristling red fur and a lavish white tattoo over its eye only making it all the more uglier.

”You want me to beg? I am a Knight of Cantôn, you putrid worm!” You sneer at its leering face. In a decidedly uncourtly move, you spit in its face. ”Knights of Cantôn do not beg, even in death!”

The beastman blinks, your spit dribbling down it’s forehead to the chin. It’s furious expression calms as it gives you one last wicked smile, then casts you into the pit.

”Even in death!” You scream your final words in those last moments as you fall down onto the same spikes that killed your noble steed.


So ends the tale of Sir Gabriel Rousseau, Kingsman of Aubres.

Sir Gabriel Rousseau slew 5 savage beastman during his Errantry. He disappeared on the road from Aubres to Motte-Fallavon.
His family never learnt his fate, months would pass before they accepted that he was likely dead. Both Mother and your younger sister wept. Father spent entire days in the chapel, saying nothing. Your eldest brother took over much of the stewardship of the land in his stead, while your elder brother practiced all the harder in the training yard. Uncle blamed himself for giving you the idea of errantry, he joined one of the Holy Orders as penance.
You should have married that Daubeny girl, like Mother wanted. You should have stayed home.


But a Knight is Sworn to Valour.

>>2988141
M8 I was taking the piss out of how supposedly strong the starting traits were.
I mean seriously, it's a bloody jewish stereotype.
>>2988145

1. Attacking head on without any back up.

True, we should at least start the new knight today because the character creation requires a lot of time anyway

>>2988142
It could be a good end, but some bandits or beasts will probably just eat/kill us before we can arrive in a village.
>>
>>2988152
Let us be honest, it's not even that, because there was no vote to make a plan or anything.

It was just bad luck.

A neat Easter egg would be killing Craven, who now leads his own war band.
>>
I understand anons are considering going full cynic route, but let me be clear. I am NOT writing a Prince 2.0 in this quest.

Cynicism would (depending on the other traits) be written as a knight that is set on securing some material goal. It could be a title, recognition, wife or a nice little plot of land to manage during peacetime.

It will not be a jaded nihilist from the get go.

>>2988159
Hey I suggested rounding up a posse but no one was intrested apparently!

>>2988160
look suit yourself thats just how I see things.

>>2988165

>>
>>2988164
We could have a quest in the sequel where set out to find Sir Gabriel's corpse and have it receive a proper burial.
>>
>>2988164
Yeah he could become a great chief with slaying a knight and getting is gear.


>a possible good boss/enemy


>doesn t matter, the next character is probably going to to die in the mud of a swamp.
>>
>>2988165
That's really good to hear desu. As much as I loved Prince reading his copy would be disappointing,

I have an actual question concerning the whole Adam/Cain/Thorn paths.
How do they exactly reflect on the character crunchwise? I see that Cain is more dedicated to Combat, but what about the other two? Does Adam give us bonus to talking? Does the Thorn path give us more Roguish stuff to fuck others over?
I'm not attempting to gamebreak the system you have, I just want to know what the exact hell they're for in mind.

Fair enough, I really can't afford to take a full day off again for questing so soon and this thread is going to last another week at least on /qst/.

I'm going to bed now, I will call a flash vote on the most popular options raised here exactly 22 hours which will last 1 hour, 2+ IPs only.

For now, you guys are free to discuss the options between and bandy about more original ideas together. I won't call a vote if there is an obvious concensus (not just a majority) and no evidence of unchivalrous samefagging.

Good night lads, thanks for the rollercoaster of knightly emotions. If I may, I might suggest that anons don't give up on the idealist route. I'm happy to write either, but I am certain that you will find playing an idealist that succeeds all the more rewarding having played one that did not.

Corruption is commonplace within the lower tier of nobility in the Duchy of Pascae.

Knighted sons of noble houses are often reduced to playing the role of bodyguards for wealthy merchant guilds to help pay off the exorbitant debts of their families - debt racked up by petty power displays.

Having listened to the tales of our grandfather who was born in a distant Duchy, we now believe that those of noble blood should devote themselves to a higher calling than coin and status.

However, this ideological crusade to tear down the diseased edifice of our homeland will inevitably put us in durect conflict with our father and brothers, who have learned to work the current system so well.

Your family was once one of the most renown and powerful households of Romaine. Located between Ardenne and Aubres, its land was vast and fertile, secure and peaceful. God smiled upon you.

Until the Deadmen claimed Ardenne, that is.

Your family took part in the wars and crusades that followed with a fervor bordering on zealotry, claiming to reclaim what lands were lost and cleans Canton of the plague of the Deadmen.

Death followed and not much else. The situation got so bad that the main family was all but extinguished and a cadet branch had to take over. The change of leadership brought a change of attitude in the household, more cautious and calculating than before.

Some of the most zealous Romani households says your family grew soft, weak, fearful. Others know better - behind your patience lies the stubborn determination of those who lost too much.

Nobody gives a shit anymore. It's over. The character you hate so fucking much is dead and you're still beating a dead horse (pun not intended).

And you're now assuming what the actual will of the players will be, maybe they want to intrigue the fuck out of a Mont Knight because they like the idea of a fish out of water concept that much.
>The best weak point is the one that can be rarely exploited.
And this is where you have deep six'ed your entire argument with the traits. No matter how good you would have built up our "not die as fast" stat, it still won't change the fact that a nat 100 can and will break that shit over it's knee. Like we just witnessed with Gabriel.
>>
>>2988375
If nobody gives a shit, then you won't be replying to me whenever I say my opinion about, so chill out.

How about an MC with magical abilities then? I'm mean we are against supernatural creatures, it's not exactly fair to expect us to easily defeat them.

You do? Because we've being doing it a lot since now right? The samefags got what they wanted and it backfired, such is life now suck it up and stop being a fag.

>>2988377
Whatever makes him suited for being a knight. Why don't we have him be from more than one region? Like he could be from Aubres but raised in a another duchy.
>>
>>2988383
For a greedy knight, we could make it so he's sort of like those people who used to have decked out ceremonial gear; he could also be all about tradition, or being sort of snobby.
>>
>>2988377
I'll vote Mount again, but I'm happy with any place as long as Humble.

He could take advantage of the whole Tradition thing by making him seem more trustworthy.

>And you're now assuming what the actual will of the players will be, maybe they want to intrigue the fuck out of a Mont Knight because they like the idea of a fish out of water concept that much
That's exactly what they will be like or not though. It will be really hard to keep ignoring combat as a supposed knight and keep focusing on intrigue.

>And this is where you have deep six'ed your entire argument with the traits. No matter how good you would have built up our "not die as fast" stat, it still won't change the fact that a nat 100 can and will break that shit over it's knee. Like we just witnessed with Gabriel.
Yeah, but it will way, way less of chance of it happening since the weakpoint won't have anything to do with combat. Great false equivalence though.
>>
>>2988377
Romaine. The whole region seems based around the concept of 'Shit's fucked yo, but we won't go down gently'. Also, freebie for Path of Cain :V

Pascae isn't bad either, but Shekel Knight doesn't click for me. He sounds more like a charlatain, and while it's a funny concept I'd rather see something resembling a knight than a scoundrel.

Fallavon sounds fun for magical shenanigans and BEASTMEN GENOCIDE, but it's a tad lacking compared to the rest.

Montbrun...sucks imo. It's too bland, and I've read enough ASOIAF to be tired of main characters coming from the grim Not!North.
>>
>>2988382

Motherfuckers can and have gotten killed because they've said the wrong thing or pissed the wrong higher up off. This is why you shouldn't underestimate intrigue so damn much because all it takes is giving off the first wrong impression and now the King's ordering your execution on trumped up charges of conspiracy against the crown.
>>
>>2988377
We should also make sure to have a human companion from the start so this doesn't happen again.

>Pascae isn't bad either, but Shekel Knight doesn't click for me. He sounds more like a charlatain, and while it's a funny concept I'd rather see something resembling a knight than a scoundrel.

yeah, but we won't be facing kings and nobles all time. We will be facing beastmen like this all the time who don't care what we say. The only way to stop them from killing us is to defeat them through combat. We are a knight, not a lord, so courtly intrigue doesn't matter that much to us as combat does

No, it's literally bad dice+retarded arrogance. Players kept choosing attack with no defence knowing we have no companion to death grip.

I'm not talking about Brutus, i'm talking about Gabriel. They kept recklessly attacking with zero defence until they were in the pit when it was too late. If Cautious can't prevent at least us not falling in the pit, then it should. Choices would mean fuck all then and it all depends on the dice.
>>
>>2988576
If that's true, then we shouldn't have chased the beast men for revenge, especially when we didn't the char gen options best suited for combat. Scapegoating the dice on it's own is pathetic.

>>2988581
No, it doesn't. It increases AV value, but doesn't outright prevent damage. It was clearly written.

>>2988584

>Oh you sweet summer child. You should really read Black Company Quest, Forgotten's previous Quest.

I haven't. Is it RNG central?
>>
>>2988588
Then it should. A system that relies solely on the dice is retarded. Choices and char gen mean fuck all then.

There was no ''plan''. Players just kept attacking and chased the beast men for the retarded ''DEUS VULT'' persona. Their choices are on them and nothing else.

My character wouldn't have died because i wouldn't have chased the beast like a retard, and healed the peasant woman instead, so nice try.

>>2988590
I'm not moving the goalposts at all. The fate of the character is on the players choices and the bad dice. The only reason he died in the first place is because anons wanted the edgy ''Path of Cain'' purge route, and decided to chase him.
>>
>>2988592
Well, let's put it this way.

You may come up with the best plan, you may choose the best course of action, you can stack the deck in your favor.

But if Dice Gods aren't on your side then you're shit out of luck - whether you are the players or the QM.

Forgotten isn't unreasonable or unfair though (although he forgets combat modifiers sometimes, but that's why autistic Anons exist).

That wasn't him, that was the players choice. An idealist like him would've never left that woman to die while there was a chance to save her.

This, you're right. Players simply decided to ignore the characters traits to get the Path of Cain route.

>>2988656
Oh so because he didn’t come form a duchess that granted a combat bonus he wasn’t “suited for combat”. Motherfucker we killed every beastman we came across without trouble except one.

And here you are smugly proclaiming that “oh gee, if only we did everything I wanted to do things would have turned out fine and dandy”

The only strawman here is you. You pompous faggot, pic related
>>
>>2988684
>>2988685
I think the problem here is that players are still hung up on BC and the fact that the more selfish/evil decisions there were mostly the ones which ended up being the most lucrative, whether from an item or ability gain point of view. Which shouldn't apply here since Forgotten said that's not the case, but hey, people try to powergame, regardless.

Also, haughty is a shit trait and a chivalric/feudal code shouldn't take precedence over a moral one, but again, people disagree on this too, so whatever.
>>
>>2988699
>Oh so because he didn’t come form a duchess that granted a combat bonus he wasn’t “suited for combat”.
Yes, we didn't choose the best option and instead the one suited for intrigue.

> Motherfucker we killed every beastman we came across without trouble except one.
No, we didn't. Craven is alive. That's why we're dead in a pit somewhere while he walks freely.

>The only strawman here is you. You pompous faggot, pic related

>>
>>2988702
I mean, we already know that forgotten can write a good character that puts him and those with him before everything else, I wanted to try someone that put the needs of others before his own.
>>
>>2988702
You're right about the BC thing. Forgotten has already stated that picking idealist would be more rewarding and that he doesn't plan on a second Prince.
>>
>>2988715
>I wanted to try someone that put the needs of others before his own.
The problem is that the majority of players don't and want instead to play as a ''rip and tear'' Deus vult character.
>>
>>2988713
This.
But also medieval medicine hasn’t the best success rate for head trauma and infections.
>>
>>2988713
So by your logic, a cop investigating a burglary and finding a homeowner shot on the floor should just throw a blanket on him and run out the back after the assailant because of future prevention. Get, real, going after them while she still drew breath was an absolute asshole move. Whether you justify it as following the Cain path or revenge or whatever, it's still Gabriel being a selfish cunt.

Anyway, I'm gonna stop trying to argue quest voting since it's a lost cause literally always, just saying.
>>
>>2988730
>Anyway, I'm gonna stop trying to argue quest voting since it's a lost cause literally always, just saying.
Yeah, it's pointless to argue about it. Gabriel is dead and nothing we say will change that. Let's hope our next character fares better.

I hope we can resurrect and have him as an undead companion. That will be really cool.
>>
>>2988730
We are not a cop though? Nor is medieval science as advanced as ours. And the woman wasn't merely shot, she was half dead. Also, burglars aren't monstrous beasts that are made of pure evil as far as we know.

I don't see why you're so hostile. I'm not opposed to taking the Path of Abel even I prefer Cain's.
>>
>>2988746
Well since magic is super controlled by the authorities I don't know if that's something our character will even begin to consider as an option.

I wonder if undead are viewed as evil or just tools in the setting. Probably pure evil, the world doesn't strike me as being a pragmatic type.
>>
>>2988713
>>2988752
I don't really like that cold logic for a Knight tbqh. I'd just rather play someone that in spite of the odds would try to save a life in front of him. You're absolutely correct in your assessment but, you know 'Gotta Try'

>I don't really like that cold logic for a Knight tbqh.
Yeah, an idealist knight like Sir Gabriel should follow the code of chivalry which would make him Lawful Good. I know some consider that to be Lawful Stupid, but it still doesn't justify going against his traits just because you don't like, and agree with them..

>Romaine

Because I like the idea of standing vigil against the darkness. Out of all the Duchies it sounds the most fun to me, got some nice built in opportunities there, and we can go full Duty and Chivalry easily without being boring like far north.

>Idealist

Because only pussies look at the world failing around them and give up, real men refuse to let the world keep them down and say fuck you universe I'm going to make it even if you do shit all over me. You believe, and you back up those ideals with your life. And if you die you die well believing that it matters.

>Haughty

Just because there really is some fun to be had there, and honestly Haughty works for knights. They were better than most people according to their world view. Humble around superiors maybe, but in general confidence and haughtiness is a given to my way of figuring things.

>Sword

I'm pretty basic like that. Axes are shit choice on multiple levels. Mace is fine, but I like swords.

>Shield design

Forgive my autism. White field obviously since we are romaine, which from the perspective of medieval heraldry represented purity and beauty. The shield partition will be a bend, a diagonal bar, which actually represented the shield suspender of a knight and therefore protection and defense. So with that it could be said by having the bend over the white field the heraldry represents defending beauty and purity. For the color of the bend I'll go with blue, which represents loyalty and faith. So the family defends purity and beauty loyally and faithfully. The Heraldic animal I'll go with is a bear crowned with laurels. The bear represents strength and ferocity in protecting, and laurels represent peace and triumph. So it's intended to convey that through strength and ferocity they achieve victory and are crowned with peace. Kinda like pic related, but with the laurels.


>Family reputation

Loyal to their lord and their friends, but they never forget a slight and they hold grudges for generations while waiting for the right time to get recompense. Tend to have tempers as well.

>>
>>2989611
see, that is a problem, some people may vote on different knights but very similar and a compleately diferent knight wins by getting the fringe votes, we should probably get the knights squared away and vote on them individually among some 2 or 3 more popular ones, as it is right now, things are pretty scattered

Probably the most generic ‘knight’ background and temperament ever devised.

Why can’t we be a zealot (religious or ideological)?

Or perhaps ambitious and power hungry?

Or an eldest brother who killed another suitor in a duel and was exiled.

Legit anything else.

You are right, it is quite generic, but as I said I was looking for someone to make a suggestion as far as family background went. Mostly I just wanted to do the heraldry and the other stuff. I didn't really care to much about family so I half assed it. If you have a suggestion I'd be happy to hear it.

But I personaly won't go for power hungry. Period. That's even more cliched than the loyal retainer and is an absolute shit choice.

The older brother bit sounds interesting, and zealotry is fine i suppose.
>>
>>2989673
There were three in my post, but they were just general hooks.

Personally I like the eldest brother route, especially if our younger brother inherited and we (rightly or wrongly) believe that the weapons in the duel were tampered with.

Works well with the cynic route which most anons seem to want.

>>2989692

Hate cynicism so much. Seriously it's supposed to be Valour quest, can't we just believe in something and have faith for once? Where's the charm in playing a knight whose beaten down and pessimistic from the very beginning? Best knight doesn't just give up like that.


Anyway, how about a family with a chip on it's shoulder? Say that a few generations back they had been Vavasour or just Men at Arms, but during one of the initial crusades to try and retake Ardenne an ancestor distinguished himself by saving a member of the Duke/Duchess's house and they were awarded lands and and title for it.

Thing is they are new upstarts and they don't have a ton of connections, so they have to go out there and prove themselves and try to network and build up contacts. Basically their house is in a precarious position because the established nobility doesn't want to accept some jumped up new bloods and they need to improve their standing not necessarily out of ambition, but in order to survive.

Add in some recent scandals, like the older brother trying to woo a woman above his station and in the process killing a rival suitor and being forced to flee, and we get the potential for some intrigue which anons had wanted, as well as good old hack and slash since we have to fight to win glory. Which anons also want.

Seems compelling to me.

Yeah it sucks that we're all having to fight for our character become best(girl)Knigga. But I can say that with full certainty that it shows, we give enough of a shit about this quest enough to try and make a phoenix rise from the ashes once more.

>The family was founded by Emile's grandfather, who had been a Vavasour that had followed his lord in the initial crusade to retake Ardenne. In the fighting he distinguished himself by saving a scion of Romaine's Ducal house and was rewarded with lands and titles. However many more established families resented this elevation of such a lowly individual, and the family has since struggled to establish itself more firmly before it's lack of allies lead to it's demise. They play the game of politics out of necessity. In a recent gambit to establish themselves the families eldest son attempted to win the hand of the neighboring earls second born daughter, but was disgraced and forced to flee after killing a rival suitor. This has cast the family into dire straights, and they must quickly win honor glory and connections or perhaps be destroyed.

If it was humble instead of haughty I coud go for this.
>>
>>2990039

If that's the deal breaker I can do humble. Honestly I wouldn't mind humble, I just don't want to do cynic. That's the only real deal breaker for me personally.

I mean I'll still play if we end up with a cynic, i'm not a whiny little bitch who throws a tantrum if they don't get their way, but it definitely isn't my preference.
>>
>>2990047
>i'm not a whiny little bitch who throws a tantrum if they don't get their way

Why are there so many of those here? Goddamn. I've QM'd many quests in the past and I've never had a playerbase as bitchy and entitled as this one.

Seriously, I have preferences and I know where I want this to go but I'm not going to go around screaming at everyone who made what I think is the wrong choice.
>>
>>2990047
It would suit a family of lower standing, speacially one that came from humble origins, they would get haughty over the vourse of time but I liked the premise and family history, just wish the knight to be humble, at least early on.
>>
>>2990047
As big as the begining is supposed to be, it's the adventure itself what matters the most. So I'm perfectly fine with a lot of different ideas since we can have our knight change and grow for the better as the quest goes on.
>>2990056
Honestly I think it's a combination of emotional investment and willingness to do what has to be done to acquire their goals.
BCQ did in a sense, give players PTSD.
>>
>>2990062
I think it'd be more interesting to do the opposite. Starting out haughty but after having our arse handed to us a few times we learn some humility.
>>
>>2990062

I can see where you are coming from there, and humble would be good.

I was thinking Haughty as an expression of insecurity. Less that he actually believes he's better than people, and more that he puts on a show of confidence to try and hide his perceived failings.

A knight is fearless, but I'm scared. A knight is pure of heart, but I feel base desires. A knight is noble, but I know my house wasn't always so high. So I'm going to go all out and fake it till I make it kind of thing. Haughty to try and match the image of the idealized knight, because he doesn't think he measures up but refuses to admit it.

Humble is good though.
>>
>>2990056
I thibk it's because sometimes the samefaging is so blatant(5 IP votes in 5 minutes for exemple) that people feel cheated and lose their composure.

But I agree withyou, the levels of salt seen here, both by those that got their way and are defending it and those that didn't and are protesting it, is something similar to animu waifu war quests and harem shit.
>>
>>2990075
>Starting out haughty but after having our arse handed to us a few times we learn some humility.

Well as we've seen, getting our ass handed to us resulted in death.

Niggas can't live long enough to get humbled.
>>
>>2990073

You are correct that it is the journey that matters most, and I agree that it's fine to have different ideas and that whatever we go with I'm sure we can have fun with them.

That being said the first step on the path does have a pretty big bearing on where the journey is going, at least initially, and it's understandable in my opinion that people have different preferences and may feel some disappointment if their preference isn't picked. Doesn't give them the right to complain, but I can understand being unhappy about it. I myself may end up slightly disappointing, but in the long run it isn't really a big deal and disappointment fades.

If we end up with choices I wouldn't have picked that's fine. I can still enjoy the world and the writing and the choice making and get invested as we go. I'm here to play, and part of playing is understanding you won't always get your way and sometimes you lose.
>>
As the idealistic/cynic trait is the most contentious issue here I will be holding a seperate vote for it so that it does not otherwise influence a potential Knight you like the look of.

Last thing I want is players voting for a Pascae shiller because he's an idealist when really they prefer the Romani design but for the cynic trait.
As anons have suggested, I am happy to feature some of these as NPCs if they are not ultimately selected.

Dang, caught out.

Yeah okay, I admit Aubres wasn't my top choice. I did like Gabriel though. socially wise he was geared for success, Gabriel would have been of great interest to nobles far away from the royal court and have many unique opportunities.

Sometimes you can trust your QM to be impartial. Sometimes you can trust they are virtuous and valorous enough not to hide who they are and take potshots while at the same time crusading against same fagging. But....


Ah i'm just fucking with you, I could care less. Please don't take this as anything but a Joke.
>>
>>2990731
>>2990896
Yeah that and possibly change up a Kingdom's Trait or two, especially Fallavon's because of how much of a trap it just is. I mean a literal roll of just 99 and nothing else? It just seems very lackluster.
At the risk of becoming a unbearable greedy faggot, it probably wouldn't hurt to modify both Aubres and Montbrun's traits a bit as well.
I do appreciate that you're willing to bring on some of the player made knights as NPCs. I'll really look forward to that.

Hate cynicism so much. Seriously it's supposed to be Valour quest, can't we just believe in something and have faith for once? Where's the charm in playing a knight whose beaten down and pessimistic from the very beginning? Best knight doesn't just give up like that

Because you can be a Cynic and still be Brave and Valorous and cynic and just because we start cynical does not mean we cant be more noble and Idealisitic as time goes on, consider it the opposite of princes journey instead of fighting losing all meaning and being unceasingly brutual we can find purpose and nobility in fighting for things worth fighting for.

TLDR: I refer to my greentext in >>2988155 about sheckle knight as how I'd see him play out.

>the thread is already half way down the catalog

welp looks like we may need another thread if we want to do Character gen through the week.

I honestly won't mind Sir William Marshal as an NPC. Would give him homage.

I would vote for the Romani knight if he's idealist and humble.
>>
>>2991406

Eh, I mean I can kind of see where you are coming from. I just really dislike cynicism. Particularly meme cynicism, that's all.

I mean I trust Forgotten not to do a shit job if we choose cynicism. I'm fine if we pick it. It's just not my preference since personally I consider cynicism as it is often presented in the memetic sense to be a weakness of character, and I'd like our knight to be better than that. Not saying we can't have a great time of it if we are cynics, and a redemption ark would actually be seriously tight, but realistically I can't see people on qst picking a redemption ark. These sorts of things tend towards entropy if you know what I mean, so starting in a low energy state just seems like a one way ticket to me.
>>
>>2991415

Which Romani knight, we got at least two. There's

>>2989970

and then there's

>>2988290

Which seem to be the two major Romaine options so far from what I can see, with the second being the more popular.
>>

Anyone one of them really as long as he has humble and idealist.

>but realistically I can't see people on qst picking a redemption ark.

Then honestly I think you are underestimating how much people want to not do prince again, I say give it a shot but if we do Idealistic again I won't complain I loved Gabrielle and his gung ho chivilary and honestly think playing a humble character is an excuse to go MUH pragmatism agaiin which is really annoying because its done all the time.

but hey we'll see what happens and I'd love to be wrong.
>>
Just posting my two cents before the flash vote starts (which I hope I can be there for, but RL gonna RL).

I'm not opposed to change my write-in >>2988290 to Haughty in case people wish for an Idealistic, Haughty knight - I'm really behind the Noblesse Oblige idea. Cynical Humble too looks good too, of course, since it can act like a sour Saint. That's a cool concept too.

Personally, I'm opposed to Idealistic/Humble and Cynical/Haughty. Why?

Because they are rather standard. The first is basically the average Paladin or harem MC in shitty anime while the latter is the average noble jackass you see in every dark fantasy book. I'm sure Forgotten could eventually make something out of them, but I'd rather see an interesting combination from the start.

I'm picking either cynic/humble or idealist/humble. A haughty+idealist char is just Sir Gabriel with a different name and background. That would make the new char gen useless since it's basically the same char. Cynical/haughty is just edge lord faggotry.

How many characters do you plan on adding as NPCs if they don't win?

Flash Vote! One hour.


In the future I will generally not be calling flash votes and from here on will be relying solely on 2+ IPs votes throughout the day unless the thread is very new or I suspect that new voters are posting twice only to get their vote in. I understand that timezones cause a change of guard over the world and I will exercise discretion in that requirement. The irony of people samefagging in a quest about chivalry is not lost on me, and really all it does is slow down the quest because I have to call a flash vote before planning out the next post.

I'll do it if there are obvious shenanigans, but a clean vote means we can carry on at a steady pace and continue the story.

FYI, In the future there will be a 50/50 chance between suffering a Dismount or a Disarmed penalty instead of both for crit-fails. Gabriel might have survived if he had retained his shield (unlikely given those armour rolls, but possible). It's a little late to be tweaking the Duchy perks now, but I will say that the Fallavon 99 would have been a reassuring bonus as you gained more experience and tweaked the DC's in your favour.

The only thing there appears to be a consensus or overwhelming majority on is the Hearty trait and Destrier starting steed. We've narrowed down the Duchy choice a little at least.

Locked in:
>Hearty
>Destrier

I'd prefer people to provide a vote for all options, but not doing so won't discount you.

---------------------

(1) Duchy of Origin (the specifics of their name/colours/family can be hashed out later or selected from the previous suggestions)
>Montbrun [Hardy Folk: Reduce Wounded and Injured DC modifiers by -5DC (-5 and 0 respectively)]
>Romaine [Sacred Duty: +1 Step on the Path of Cain OR the Path of Adam]
>Pascae [Merchant Guilds: +2 Starting Wealth (4/10)]


(2) Worldview
>They strive to be a good and worthy knight because that is what they expect of themselves. They are set on proving themselves, for the good of the people and the realm. [Idealist]

>They strive to be seen to be a strong and worthy knight because that is expected of their station. They have their eyes set on furthering themselves individually, both on the field and in the courts. [Cynic]

(3) Attitude
>You are of the privileged few, burdened with the heavy and solemn duty of protecting the realm. As the warhorse stands above the carthorse in breeding, so do you and your peers above the common rabble. You were born for this. [Haughty]

>A Knight is worth no more than a peasant. Take away his horse, his steel and his training and he is no different from the folk in the field. Less even, for at least a farmer knows his trade. Your station of birth is a twist of fate, nothing more. [Humble]

(4) Combat trait
> Strong
> Skilled
> Quick

(5) Starting weapon
> Castle-forged Arming Sword (+5DC)
> Castle-forged Axe (+0DC, -10AV to Foe)
> Castle-forged Morningstar (+0DC, 3 Success = +1 Damage)

The road is not easy, but a Knight is Sworn to Valour

Its just that a Haughty Cynic leaves no space for doing good for other whatsoever, it will be always about his glory, his stamding and his things, never about the people or the greater good. And I feel we already played a character like that in prince. I'm not dissing you for chosing that, its just that I'm trying to convince others to try and play a selfless character for a change, with all the difficults and trials it will present. We can still go aroun whoremongering and having fun as a humble guy, but I just want that, in the end, he cares about other people other than himself

Incorrect a cynic can do good for others its just he does not expect the world to be a good place because most if not all people look out for themselves and those who do good can have an ultrior motive, likewise with haughty we can do good by others while still assuming we have privliges and station better than a peasants.

also as I have stated earlier time and time again there always room to grow into a more positive character from witnessing genuine acts of good in the world.

Cynic does not equate to being out for ourselves so stop thinking like it does it only effects the way the mc sees the world, if you want to be Cynic on the path of Adam its more than possible.
>>
>>2991715
He can still be flawed even if humble, I just think that haughty and cynical will limit our chances of doing good.
Its a real shame in my opinion, I was curious to see how forgotten would handle a good hearted MC

I'm having no problem with Cynic mind you, it's just that it coupled with haughty makes it really dificult for me to see a situation where we would try to do spmething good for the general people, that is why I wanted humble, to give him at least one positive trait

the Notion of of Noblise Oblige which was thrown around during Gabrielles char gen and his adventure, basically just as peasants have an obligation to provide food and service to their lord a Knight/Lord/King has the obligation to defend and serve rightly and justly the needs of his subjects and not abuse the rights he has as their betters.

sure its not good in a 21st century egalitarian sense but hey this is roleplaying and quests so not everything should be good in such a way as modern sensabilities.

The cynic trait prevents most DEUS VULT tho, since we won't purge for the sake of purging, only if we have something to gain with it, hell, it may even open up the possibility of talking and negotiating with the beastmen

>>2991754
Yeah, I think I agree with that. Mostly because cynic states in the description that it's more of a role that is less satisfied with being just a normal knight; and being out to accomplish more.

You're delusional. Your vote won't mean jackshit against the horde of deus vult retards who will choose path of Cain to appeal to their fantasies.

I mean I'm not Deus vulting again like Gabrielle but that seems like a bridge to far.

I'll wait for the gutpunch Forgotten will throw at us regarding beastmen until I agree to something like that
>>
>>2991754
>The cynic trait prevents most DEUS VULT tho
No, it won't. The players will simply ignore the characters traits just like they did with Gabriel, and pick the option that suits them the most. They don't give a fuck about the characters traits if they don't like them. What makes it worse is the fact Forgotten decided to lessen the consequences of a critfail. That insures there is less of a chance the players will get punished for their faggot choices.
>>
>>2991761
Vote for idealist then, if we become cybic I see no harn in it if we can benefit from it, for exemple, sparing one in exchange of a hostage or some information and what not, an idealist would want to purge, a cybic would want to benefit from them, and if they being alive is better than dead for us I see no problem with it.
That's just my take on it.


AT least Harty is locked so we will be greagarious and I can seek for us to get a buxom- peasant mistress

I'm going to exercise my discretion as QM here and lock in Idealist because, if I'm being honest, I think that will be the choice more fun to write for from the start. That's my decision, and given that it was split I think it's reasonable for me to be the one tipping the balance on a character gen choice rather than leaving it to a roll.

I will put our starting weapon (axe or sword) up for a roll. First to roll 1d100 under gets their choice picked.

Since there was a fair deal of votes to humble too can our haughtiness not be as pronaunced as it was with Gabriel? A softer version of it?

For exemple, we consider ourselves better than the smallfolk but as we are also an idealist that means we have to care and protect them with our power

May I just say that seeing players get this invested in the quest and discussing the choices with each other so much makes me genuinely happy and proud.

I'm heading to bed now.

The major event that defined Romaine was it's fall from grace during the Night of Three Sisters (when Canton's skies showed a freakish red third moon) and the Deadmen claimed Ardennes. Aside from the dead, Romaine occasionally has to contend with wayward beastfolk bands and Carthagi slavers. The Carthagi would only have dreamed of assailing Romaine before the Night of Three Sisters, since that decline they have grown bold enough to at times outright invade the southern coasts.

Every able-bodied man in Romaine serves a tour of duty in Holy Orders patrolling the borders of the 'safe' countryside within sight of the shores of Ardenne. It has been generations since the Deadmen last marched in force, but they never rest entirely easy and many of these young men never finish their year of service. Romaine is also currently out of favour with the King, for the Duchess is loathe to draw any forces away from their lands to support him.

Romani names are, like Aubres, generally french in nature. I'm fine with a slightly Polish/Hungarian twist but I'm not typing out Wyzrcervenak or anything so be reasonable if you do go there.

Alright, I'm going to re-post my previous write-in, with some modifications:

>Rough family history / reputation
Your family was once one of the most renown and powerful households of Romaine. Located close to beautiful Ardennes, its land was vast and fertile, its knights just and strong and its smallfolk secure and peaceful.

God smiled upon your house. Until the Deadmen claimed Ardennes, that is.

Bereft of a good portion of its lands due to the vile creatures, your family took part in the wars and crusades that followed with a fervor bordering on zealotry, seeking to cleanse Canton from the plague that are the Deadmen. No plan was too daring, no man was unwilling to fulfill this sacred duty.

Alas, their virtue was repaid with countless deaths and bitter disappointment. The toll was so heavy that a cadet branch had to take over leadership, for the main family of the household was extinguished. This change brought a change of attitude in the household, now more cautious and insular than before, protecting the people and the lands they were left with and little else.

Some of the most zealous Romani households says your family grew soft, weak, fearful. A few others know better - the righteous embers are still within their hearts, awaiting to bursts into a fiery fire.

A young man seems to have inherited this will...

>Shield and Symbol
White saltire on burgundy field. Symbol is a Rampant Black Eagle.

>Path of Adam or Path of Cain
Path of Cain (due to his family history, he has a sharp interest - read, murderboner - for those monsters and villains that prey on innocent people).

>Name
Michel Andrassy
>>
>>2991829
I support this >>2991838
>>
>>2991829
>name

>family reputation
Close ties to the duchess
Our family lands are more in the central area of the duchy and while we have some remaining presence in our land most of our forces are commanded to the fringe of the duchy where they are needed more. It must a grave occasion if many of our family return to our territory.

>>2991857
BYW not really cemented in that last name. The Gilbert is more the French pronounciation (no solid t. More like GIL-bearh)
>>
>>2991829
>Rough family history / reputation
Our Family was almost annihilated during the war with the Deadmen and only survived to what is generally assumed to be a divine Miracle, as such our Family tends to donate and patronise generously to the Church and serve longer than most other houses in the Holy orders and its not uncommon for youngers brothers and the few bastards of our house to find a place among the Holy orders or Clergymen of Romanie more ''Inviting'' than life as a cadetbranch of our house and those who do pursue such a life find much generosity and Patronage from our house more so than prehaps our own cadet branches!

As such our Family has a reputation for Piety and generosity among both the church & Nobility of Romanie though we often find ourselves at odds with Female lead houses of Romanie as we still remain Patriarchial in nature though we have bent on occasion to Female rule.

It is often said that a clergyman is of poor faith if he has not recieved at least a small gift from our house.


>Shield and Symbol (the Duchess' symbol is a weeping maiden, their colours a White Major/Burgundy Minor)

A lion or other generally associated noble beast bowing before a holy Symbol

White minor
Blue Major

>Path of Adam or Path of Cain This is likely reflective of the type of Holy Order you spent your year of service in, it doesn't lock you in as a Paladin or Crusader by any means

Path of Adam this time as a nice change of pace, and a starting point to mark this character as a different Knight to Gabrielle though I expect we will take Caines calling at least once or twice

I don't care about the delusions of some Ouiaboo. We're playing a fictional world, not medieval France. The Normans also didn't have some retarded Parisian names like Julian d'al Sancroix. Most of them had Germanic names like Robert, William, Richard, Roger, Henry, Odo, Ralf, etc...

We are playing in a fictional medieval kingdom, as a person from a region that is fictional medieval france, and our character should have a generally french name to reflect that.

Still doesn't change the fact they weren't French. They were Vikings who btfo the Frankish king (not French) and gave them Normandy as a gift. Norman literally means ''Northman''. The Normans also didn't have retarded Parisian names like the one you came up with. They had Germanic names like the ones i mentioned.

>>Romani names are, like Aubres, generally french in nature. I'm fine with a slightly Polish/Hungarian twist but I'm not typing out Wyzrcervenak or anything so be reasonable if you do go there
Cherry picking isn't gonna help your retarded argument. He said that Romani names are generally French, not that it should be French.

>We are playing in a fictional medieval kingdom, as a person from a region that is fictional medieval france, and our character should have a generally french name to reflect that.
No, we're not. We're playing as a fictional medieval world. We don't have to pick retarded Parisian names like the one you came with (Which didn't exist until the modern era).

>I'm not quite for all the polaboo's who try to jackhammer their names into every quest that gives them a tiny thread to do so, myself.
I'm not a ''Polaboo'' silly retard. I just don't want cancerous French Parisian names like the one you came up with, especially since we already played as a character with a French name.

It doesn't matter. Op said Romani generally have French names, which means we don't have to pick a French name. I don't care if it's an ''Obtuse'' Polish name or whatever. As long it ain't French, then I don't care. We already played a character with a French name., doing again is just repetitive and boring.

Good news: I can run a thread this Friday starting about 12:00 AEST (which is 9pm Eastern Standard Time I think). Maybe also Sunday, but that's looking doubtful.

Bad news: There might not be an update tomorrow or the day after beyond closing tonight's vote. That's the price of Friday's run, I've had to shift IRL stuff to those two nights instead.

We will begin out on patrol with Father and his household men-at-arms on the Romaine borders, rooting out a Wiedergänger infestation. While women run the 'domestics' in Romaine (the Rule of Law), fighting and other less delicate tasks are the realm of men (the Rule of War). This will be a good chance to try out the battle progress mechanic that Gabriel never got to see.

Istavan over Jaskier I honestly can appreciate both as squires Istavan being my MC name has absoloutly nothing to do with my vote I swear!
>>
>>2994095
well, the exact same thing can be said about the young, naturally gifted, arrogant prodigy that wants to make a name for himself. It's just a matter of what tired trope you would like to choose and I trust in forgotten to give the trope a new life as he is good with that.
>>
>>2994106
Okay let me put it like this

As far as main characters for narratives go, we have at least two Istavans or Mikails for every Jasker that isn't an antagonist and their character arcs are far less innovative and diverse.
>>
>>2994108
you are assuming that things will go as expected, which they most certainly won't, and that the QM can't turn whoever we pick into an interesting character and arc and being(allegedly by you) half as tired is still tired as hell, that is not a point to be taken.
Like I said, we just pick what we think would be better and hope that forgotten can turn it into something interesting. Personally out of the 3 I think Istavan is the one that has greater room for many different paths since he is mostly a blank sheet and can evolve in many different ways, specially in a knight that can't fight to save his life but could be useful in many other different stances but I picked Mikail to abuse the peasant boy as is our right as a knight.

Considering the playerbase and the simple backlash from even going anywhere near the path of Caine let alone the path of thorns its not going to happen even if I want it too.

>>
>>2994249
For those of noble blood the process is relatively straightforward. You squire under a knight, the knight treats you as a servant/apprentice and gauges your readiness. If they find you worthy (which can take a matter of years, or never at all) the knight has you stand your vigil for a knight at a holy location and bestows the rank on you. Your name the name entered into the roll of your Family, Duchy and/or affiliated Holy Order (the Banner, as it were. They can call upon you in times of war).

For a commoner there is an extra step, their patron knight must vouch for them as a worthy candidate for the Roigard (the Kings personal cohort). Rejection is is the norm for commoners, noblemen are preferred, and there are no appeals. After a year, the commoner is knighted by the King himself and may leave or serve a further term of service.


In addition to this the King, Dukes and some Holy Grandmasters have the power to immediately Knight someone for Valour on the field of battle.
>>
>>2994960
Does being rich help?
>>
>>2995104
Absolutely. Unless a squire has a very generous benefactor they have to equip and arm themselves.

A squires silver spurs costs 1 Wealth alone, an exorbitant price that most peasants can never afford. Even then merchants and successful commoner shares with wealth try rob marry into nobility rather than waste a healthy wage-earning son on a pipe dream.
>>
>>2995165
Can only nobility own land?

Sub question, can commoners own ships?
>>
>>2995710
Title Land (actual ownership) is nobles only. Right to Land is the right to use the property (and pay a portion to the Title owner), this is open to everyone.

And yes to ships. (Pascae shilling baby)

>>2996166
Title passes from father to firstborn son, even in Romaine.

If you were granted actual Title and not just Right to Land then you would form your own household as you're not of the main line. This is not uncommon, and there are plenty of minor noble household in vassalage to major noble households and so forth. It would be presumptuous to make a new heraldry completely without recognition of your origins though.

>>2996103
No way am I allowing you to make a character with the Hearty trait and NOT have the opportunity to gregariously team up with other knights. Forming Errantry brotherhoods is not uncommon at all. It would be similar to a frat house for our chad knight, I imagine.

Rulewise, you are limited to benefit from two companions max in combat (the rest is assumed to happen in the background). Skills and items can increase this.

>>2996194
Soma is the Lamplighter QM right? No, I'm not but I do like his writing. I got excited when Plasma from House Harrock came back, but wasn't thrilled with how our wildling tribe turned into Lords-lite.

>>2996167
Aha, here is where it gets interesting! The Queen is technically the Head of Church in Canton, bearing the title Mater Reginae. Some more ambitious and political Queens have used their clout and unique immunity from many laws to ruthlessly further their own power and holdings, at the expense of the King if necessary.

Technically speaking, the Queen has enough land to form an independant Duchy of her own but it is spread throughout the entire kingdom. Thankfully our King and Queen are deeply in love and would do nothing of the sort.


As for Burgher's and Burgermeisters they do not have Title. However Lords often leave the running of towns and cities to their like rather than dirty themselves with the details. In Pascae the situation has gotten so ridiculous that the merchant class actually has a say in whether taxes are or are not levied.

Gained IN OUR PRAYERS trait
The first time you take unsaved damage, gain +1 Combat Re-Roll [Once-per-day]

Combat Re-Rolls do not work against Crits or Doubles
Early spring, Western Romaine, Present Day

The chill of winter has well and truly left, it had been years since it had snowed so heavily here near the border. Spring was here at last, and the full bounty of Romaine's rich soil and flowing rivers begins to The birds repair their nests, rabbits stir in their warrens and bears groggily shake off their long sleep. The land throws off the snow of winter, the Deadmen slink back into their haunts, and young men's minds turn to war.

You reign in Hannibal over to Father, he's pulled aside from the looking at a farmhouse. It is not in disrepair, and the humble occupants kneel gracelessly as their liegelord takes a passing interest in their abode. It has the typical terracotta roof of many Romani structures, unremarkable in most respects. You see that Father is inspecting it's one oddity, a white marble stone wall much overgrown with lichen and moss.

[1/3]
>>
>>2996416

"This is one of the older farmhouses. From before the Fall." Father always did have an eye for architecture, a petty man might consider it unbecoming for a Lord to be knowledgeable in such a womanly interest. He shakes his head in disbelief. "Marble, for a farmhouse! Can you believe it? You know they used to import this, huge blocks of it, across the sea from Carthagi."

"Yes, Father." You nod dutifully as a son should. He regards you with a raised eyebrow, well aware that architectural history interests you not one bit.

Father sighs, drawing his favourite mount Damocles away from the farmhouse. The mottled-grey mature warhorse moves with such grace and discipline compared to your own young Hannibal, though their rebelliousness and skittishness will fade in time. Your brown and white patches destrier is but a year old according to Sir Norveski, your knight-advocate, at least. He has known no other rider but you.

"You are set on this? Leaving." Father asks, pulling his own destrier aside to yours. Damocles is [comparison to Hannibal] "You could wait until the end of spring, for the tourney."

"I am, Father. After we have finished rooting out these last Deadmen, I will begin my Errantry." You nod firmly, you were ready for this conversation. "You bid me wait out the autumn and winter after my knighthood, and I have. But the time is now. Almighty's Grace, I might return for the tournament."


"Your mother won't like it." Father says in the knowing tone that this is precisely why you're leaving now and not after you get back from the border to the castle to the castle. Mother would have you tied up in the tower if necessary rather than have you gallivanting about on Errantry. "'Error'try she likes to call it. A waste of time for fools."

"You went on Erranty yourself, Father. We've heard the stories around the fire a hundred times."

"Yes, I suppose..." Father admits ruefully. "In my youth."[/I]

[I]"Then surely my Father is not a fool."



"According to me, or according to your mother?" Father chuckles, waving your answer away with a worn gauntlet. Father always did prefer tried and tested armour over flair and fashion. "Well, I cannot in good conscience forbid you. Almighty protect you son."

You try not to sag in relief, but Father clearly spots it anyway and smiles. "Worried I'd say no, were you Emile? Tell me, what lofty goal has my son first set his eyes upon?"

You briefly hesitate, wondering if Mother has eyes and ears even outside of Romaine, but you relent and tell Father your plan.

So females cannot inherit titles in any Duchy? Is a House just forced to disband in that case?

>Technically speaking, the Queen has enough land to form an independant Duchy of her own
Is there an equivalent of Bishops who can control multiple plots of land, or is every plot locally controlled by a priest with no intermediate layer of management?

Also, if the Queen heads the church, are all religious officials women?
>>
>*Damocles is [comparison to Hannibal]

Fuck.
>>
>>2996426
>Inheritance
Females inherit, but sons take priority. IF a female inherits she retains the title even after marriage, but her son inherits not the daughter (if she has a son).

If there are no cousins or even distant relations to inherit even after that, things get tricky. Bloodshed landgrab levels of tricky.

>Church
It follows a similar hierarchy to the Duchy/King spread. Each Duchy has a Bishop and their own Cardinals(Lords).

However, the King WISHES he had the dogmatic level of authority and control over his underlings as the Queen has over her Bishops by virtue of scripture alone (and faith). You see, only a priest can become a Bishop but only a nun can become the Queen. Nuns and Abbesses technically have zero power in the church, but pissing them off never crosses the Bishops mind in case one from their Duchy becomes the next King's bride.

I'm choosing Hearty because it's dishonorable for a knight to abandon a friend in need.

Can't see what's the appeal of doing to a vigil to be honest.

Alright, there will be an update tonight. Not for roughly 4 hours though.

In other news, this reaction image is perfect for Romani Errantry.
>>
>>2998404
>Romani are filthy reifags

>Rei v Asuka shitposting
>Adam v Cain shitposting
>>
>>2998447
>I don't understand Asuka's character or her appeal at all
Asuka's verbal abuse of Shinji is a defense mechanism related to her own inability to get through to him romantically.
Her mother's inability to recognize Asuka, and later "double" suicide with the doll has left the poor girl with a crippling fear of rejection. So she plays it safe in her romantic advances, couching them in a manner to try and get Shinji to make the first move. So that then she can simply accept his advance. Because she has a neurotic fear of being unloved. She CAN'T simply be direct with Shinji, because she's terrified of that pain of rejection.
But then, Shinji completely misses and explains away to himself what Asuka's doing because from his perspective, "there's no way this beautiful, smart, talented redhead is interested in me. I'm just Shinji." Or in one case he just doesn't get it because she makes a Judeo-Christian reference and actually expected a 14 year old japanese boy to get it.
So because she has basically NO emotional defenses against what she perceives as rejection, she goes on the offensive. Calls Shinji everything but a child of god, because she's scared, like a cornered animal lashing out.
The Asuka Langley Sohryu who exists in the mind of Shinji Ikari, and probably in the mind of anyone else who's ever been downrange of one of her defensive verbal assaults, is a hateful harpy.
But the real Asuka Langley Sohryu, who nobody else can see, is just a lonely young woman who wants desperately to be loved and accepted.
She leans on her position as a Pilot because it's one thing she has where people HAVE to accept and acknowledge her. And when that's taken away, and Shinji still isn't there for her, she completely shatters.
Asuka's vitriol doesn't interest me, because it's not who she is, it's just something she does.

>>
>>2998475
Asuka's bitchiness is the emotional equivalent of "You can't fire me, I quit!" reframing others' rejection of her, as her own rejection of THEM.
It's a form of mental gymnastics that keeps her from feeling that rejection. It's incredibly unhealthy, just winds up driving away even more people, and she doesn't even consciously realize she's doing it. But it's her coping mechanism, like Shinji's apologies to stave off anger, Misato's boozing, Kaji's shameless flirtation, Gendo's withdrawal from his own son, Ritsuko's fucking Gendo, the list goes on.
Eva is ALL ABOUT bad, unhealthy coping mechanisms.
Rei not having one, in fact makes her default Worst Girl, because she's NOT a girl. She's one small part of the soul of a god crammed into a vaguely human body.

The general consensus appears to be monster-hunting with the addendum that we're helping at a friend's request.

>Main Quest
>You will help you friend slay whatever is preying on the people living by the Fallavon-Romaine border.

"I received a letter from Willem Gladsdale at the start of spring. There's some sort of beast preying on the folk by the Fallavon border, but the local lord is doing nothing about it. I've sworn to help see him put this creature down."

"Gladsdale? From your tour of duty?" You nod, Gladsdale had been from such a minor house that he was -barely- considered nobility. Your house was old and rich in legacy, but far from favour in many Romani courts these days. The two of you had been somewhat estranged from the other boys in service, neither commoner nor favoured noblesons. In light of that, the two of you became fast friends during your years service with the Knights Comitas. "I suppose... well, your Mother -certainly- isn't going to be happy you're not helping someone she can leverage politically. Which is fine by me, I can't keep up with that woman's spinning web of maneuvering and intrigue."

"You have my blessing, son." Father lays a hand on your shoulder, locking his eyes with yours. "Honour your word, do no evil and come back home alive. Almighty's Grace."

"Almighty's Grace." You answer in refrain just as one of Father's scouts comes riding down the road with speed.

[1/3]
>>
>>2998576

"Deadmen just up the path, m'lord, by the old mill!" The scout reigns in his courser breathlessly.

"We have them! To arms, men! Let's clear out the rot!" You smile at Father's hungry grin, the reckless errant knight of his youth is still there. The patrol explodes into activity as each man checks his helm, sword or some other item one last time. The banner of the Andrei Bear on a white field and stripe of blue is unfurled and your Father's household men-at-arms get into their formations. House Andrei may be lacking in court favour and allies these days, but they are still wealthy and strong enough to field a full banner's worth of cavalrymen on patrol. "Jerod, you're with my son. Try to keep him alive."

"Yes, m'lord." The grim-faced man-at-arms nods at Father as he reigns in his nag behind you, ignoring the roll of your eyes. You hardly need a babysitter.

"Where's my squire?" You ask him, honestly that boy seems to wander off at the slightest distraction sometimes.

"Right here, m'lord." Mikail answers, his heavy jaw and jet of black hair downcast as he struggles to keep control of his own common mount.

[3/3]

>Companion:
>(1) Mikail [Squire]: +5DC, +10AV, Comrade 100% Death's Door Stalwart to the point of dimness, Mikail starts out with Comrade loyalty
>(2) Jerod [Sworn Man]: +10DC, 30AV, Comrade 100% Death's Door Temporary companion

Mikail of Andryski, a small hamlet on the fringe of Father's lands, does not look like your typical noble aspiring squire. His padded leather jerkin is as common as can be and there is little distinguishing him from a stablehand aside from the hatchet and buckler he carries at his waist. Frankly, you've seen more well-bred pages and servants than this boy from an upstart commoner family. You'd protested at being forced to take on such a common-born squire but Father had insisted in one of his egalitarian streaks.

"Berrick's boy is steady, loyal and at least knows how to handle the menial duties of a squire." Father had said, brooking no argument. "His family has served us faithfully for generations, and this is the only favour his father has ever asked of me."

Berrick's son certainly inherited his father's broad shoulders and dedicated attitude. Unfortunately he also inherited the stubbornness and wits of a rock, and you said as much to Father. You tried to hold an intelligent conversation with Mikail once. Once. Now you just tell him what to do. You admit you're being harsh in your description. But the boy does sometimes say the daftest things.

"I'm glad it's you that I'm squiring for, m'lord." The lad grins widely. "Always helps to have a big bugger in front of ya on the battleline."

Jerod turns sharply at the boys choice of words, eyes wide. The boy blanches at your own raised eyebrows.

"Uh, I mean- Oh frakk, I mean not that your lord is a bu-... a bad word or nothing." Mikail pales visibly as he realises his mistake. "I meant no insult to m'lord, I just be meaning that... you're strong is all."

Companion Rules
Disloyal = 25% Death's Door, may leave your company.
Untested = 50% Death's Door.
Comrade = 100% Death's Door.
Loyal = 100% Death's Door x3 per day.
Brothers for Life = 100% Death's Door x 3 per day, Back-to-Back.
Back-to-Back: If your companion fails an AV test you may ignore the roll. You count as having 0AV next combat round.

Most companions will start out as Untested or Comrade (depending on their quality). Although you may travel with as many companions as you wish, you may only benefit from 2 companions in a combat. This number may be increased by skills or items. Increasing loyalty can be done through wise conversation/persuade choices, buying better equipment and similar actions. Brothers for Life can be unlocked via a side quest specific to a Loyal character, and once unlocked can never fall to a lower tier.

I think I have here >>2996403 but to clarify, yes. Anyone that holds Title Land can transfer all or some of it as they see fit. This is rare but does happen. It is far more common for a Lord to grant Rights to Land to knights in their service.

It's not collecting dust, I'm still working on a ranged combat DC system. However, I simply can't run two quests at once on top of my IRL obligations.

I have a good mix of ideas for different MCs so it may take the form of a series of one-shot episodes. I think I'll lock you in to a FemMC Helldrop Krieger for the first high-octane thread and then see how we go with Starfighter Pilot and Medic/Annalist MC afterwards.

Wrong.

Comfort can have its place, but if you were to see a subordinate fuck up you shouldn't coo and laugh with him. You should reprimand - lightly, since this is his first mistake - to put down some lines.

Not all nobles are that charitable with uncoth youths. A wrong word can spell trouble for Mikail and even us, considering we are his mentor and can be hold responsible for him.

It's goo he recognized his fuck-up, it means there's hope. But if he can't actually improve himself then his good will is useless.
>>
>>2998712
And that can be bridged at a later point hes litreally just become our squire, ease him into his role as our squire and companion before we discipline him on etiquette.

I agree we should address this but we should do so later at a point where we can elaborate fully on why he was wrong to do so and we are not on the cusp of battle.
>>
>>2998726
If the boy is rattled by a light admonishment he realized to deserve then he should quite right now. The sooner he begins to fix his attitude, the more chances he has to join the Roiguard.

Besides, I just can't picture the MC - who had to be almost forced to have Mikhail as a squire - to just shrug off being called 'bugger', even if it was well-intentioned.
>>
>>2998728
Maybe we like his Oafish straightforwardness?

I'd rather it not cloud his mind in battle even if it doesn't have a mechanical benefit and cause us due guilt for it.


>Besides, I just can't picture the MC - who had to be almost forced to have Mikhail as a squire - to just shrug off being called 'bugger', even if it was well-intentioned.

maybe your right I just see Heartiness as an extension of our obligation to train and educate this peasant on whats expected of him when he earns his spurs and a certain level of forgivness to those of lower stations on at least minor transgressions should go with that.

either way its just opinon

> I'd rather it not cloud his mind in battle even if it doesn't have a mechanical benefit and cause us due guilt for it.
Why should we feel guilt in that case?

Again, if he gets anxious for a light reprimand he really has no place in battle. He'd a burden or a dead man. And if he does, then how can we be held accountable for his weak willpower?

You would have a point if we were about to chew him out harshly. This isn't the case though.
>>
>>2998744
>Signs point towards a no, for the moment:

okay I'll pay that proof reading on my part.

I'll also pay the rest of what you say unless you're proven wrong regarding how harshly we chew him out.

I did the write in for Hearty and went with Idealistic here because, well, the reasons you pointed out.

Also our role isn't to be his friend, but to train him as best we can to be a knight himself one day.

Anything less is just lazy.

Hence me also making a write in to make it less a chastisement and more a positive learning experience.

Gonna raise this squire into a baby knight and eventually maybe not the smartest of Knights but one that stands true by their allies and doesn't run his mouth into trouble.

Let's play a game, thread.
Spot all the anons who have no concepts of leadership and military discipline!

A quiet Knight is better than a brash Knight, but a noble Knight is acceptable even if he runs his mouth like a whore six ales into dealing with what she is.

Generic mildly insulting term for a male, shares a root word with buggery. Y'know, the archaic term for assfucking another man? And was considered MUCH stronger profanity in the past.
>There are many ways to be a good leader, one of those is being loved.
Yes, clearly that's why the military lets people refer to their superiors in so casual a fashion. Oh wait. They don't. Because you AINT their fuckin' friend.
Loved is great, but RESPECTED is more important in a military context. And if he loses respect for us because of a GENTLE CORRECTION over putting his foot in his mouth when we're grooming him for a leadership position? Then he's a lost cause.
>insubordination
I never actually used that term, you introduced it to the conversation.
>For your homework assignment, i want you to read "The prince" by niccolo Machiavelli.
I think maybe YOU should go home and read some more modern leadership theory texts. maybe take some actual military leadership courses, possibly spend some time in an actual military leadership role. Rather than try and come at me with an archaic text about RULING (not leading) which was likely satirical in nature, and accusations of autism because I want to head off a bad habit BEFORE it gets him hemmed up by somebody higher up than us.

Thank you for your service.

I'm glad you're using your experience to berate anons over an somewhat inconsequential choice on a korean basketweaving forum

One would maybe say this was what your service even prepared you for.

But seriously the Rei vs Asuka was better discussion than this.

Anyways Knight is more than a political appointment than a Military one, but our Squire is a fucking nobody commoner so we don't have to be courtly to him.

Still he's s our subordinate and his status reflects on our own. If he's going to be a commoner squire, we better make him into an exceptional squire. Or at least able to fake it.

Also, just like that chirpy bitch Brenda after she starts in on the Jamesons, if his mouth starts any fights we're the ones getting sucked into it.

Okay, i genuinely laughed out loud.
Fun fact, friendo, i'm actually a horse, dressed as 6 sentient cats in a cactus costume, covered in an overcoat.

''What are context clues?"

He's not a man at arms, you discipline a man at arms, you treat the one dude you're most likely to be alone in the bush for months with as if he's just another line grunt, then he won't respect you, he may even leave you to get shanked in the back; and when he's a knight? A noble? What happens when he remembers the guy who needs his help (who he squired under) as a cocksucker?
No, treating a future noble, and possible ally and friend as a private, just another cog in the machine, one who you dont need to have a good friendship with is not how shit works in the land of chivalrous high adventure.
Get the fuck outta here nippa.


>was just a gentle correction guys
Dude, did you read your callout?
I bet you are one of the fucks who ree'd like a spoiled child when you didn't get your favorite personality traits.

I'm actually a retired 3 star general and I want you both to video yourselves saluting me.
Also, hearty is the best choice clearly. We're trying to instil loyalty in one guy, not control a company. By alienating him quickly and early on, we probably put ourselves on a path where we have no leeway later on. I'd rather go the route of friendly but can give orders with a clear distinction in work. Like all good corporals

General, my cat AND cactus costumes need readjusting, SIR.

> No, treating a future noble,

He's a fucking commoner. Pull him up shortly but kindly.

Besides, even as a Knight he'll have to learn to respect his betters, us now as we respect our liege above us.

Our duty is to either make him into a Knight, or deny him as unworthy. We're his preceptor, boss, and Master.

Even Nobles spend their lives as Squires.

It was literally life debt levels of a favor for us to even take him on as a Squire.

You're type of kindness is what you would show to a dog that you expect nothing more from, an indulgence of accepting his current unacceptable state as being his natural one.
>>
>>3000314
I'd rather be a role model for him first and a friend second.

That's our duty as his Master. Same as how a Father is a parent first and a friend second.

We don't have to be an asshole about it, but he's gotta get his shit together.

Something must be wrong with the computer itself, the same issue is happening with my test posts in the qtg.

I've saved all the important stuff to a USB. I'll do a factory reset and see how were going for time.

Sworn to Valour's thread run today on indefinite hiatus. I will announce any update or new thread on Twitter and the general.

It's something to do with thread size. My phone craps itself if I open this thread on mobile.

Unfortunately not. I think I am able to post now but it is a little late for me to be starting.

On the plus side, I've been working on Maps and Marketplaces in the meantime. I'll dump a few of those now and announce a new thread in 2-3 days.

"Adam guidde us" sound good for a motto ?

something for gabriel.

>>2988926

i don t think i will make them anymore they are too many.

even if making something for the Vekhannos would be great. especially with the motto "Cain give us Fury".


so i have lost a lot of threads >>2991890

I am very impressed! The only downside is that you're making me sad Gabriel's life was cut doc short.
>>
>>3001830
Ah thanks ! But don t worry Gabriel was a great knight and one day we could even try to avenge him if we receive the rumors of is story. .... and the threath of the tribe of that craven beastmen.


If.


Anyway you don t mind if in this weeks i *try to upgrade this other shields too >>2988926 ? After have used those online sites i would like to make them those shields too, nice to see with Ps.

Obsiouvly the next shield will be the one of our uncle (that will be essentially adding a beastmen skull and make the overall look more old [some brown here and there, maybe i will change the lion and the red] ; in theory it should be easy)


And then for second our new knight .

I haven t check if we have given him a family motto.
Any Suggestions ? (If there isn t one)
*
At the moment i don t have a lot of time and i still make some mistakes.
Also I m not totally sure that the shield it s really good for Gabriel, perhaps some ornaments ?
>>
>>3001935
>After have used those online sites i would like to make them those shields too


For Cain and Adam that s an abomination to slay !


Seriously
*after i have used those online sites for make the shields of the possibile knights, i would really like to make their shields too in Ps especially if i can create a result similar to the one of Gabriel shield.
>>
"Right makes Might"

Could be a suggestion, given the symbolism there. And our own large stature.
>>
Also, are you Romanian-bro from BCQ?

I am a little cooked right now. There will not be a new thread during then week. New thread est at 1pm AEST Friday.

Love you anonymous bastards, see you next week for battle am dead jolly cooperation.

>>3003549
Have you thought about how many times you can kill off our main characters until the quest has to be considered over? We had some serious luck with Prince, that we survived all the way to the end.

Are character starts at the same point in time or does it pick up on the day the previous one died, or something else?
>>
>>3003859
>How many times
Unless death was a suitable (albeit tragic) conclusion to the quest I would likely not call it at a particular number.

>Prince luck
Luck yes, but also some full-Dark Father route tier choices which made him very broken towards the end of the quest. That said, had you not defeated White Bitch after your crit-fail Prince would have died. I was still considering at that point who the conclusion of the campaign would be from the PoV from. Kid? Saint? ... Bad Hand??

>character starts
Gabriel's journey started from the very onset of spring, Emile's story appears to be when spring has begun in earnest so it is at least a few days in between.

I would consider, if our young knight tragically dies again, starting from the position of a seasoned knight with some unlocked skills but also debuffs due to age and wounds.
>>
>>3003901
Also I'm wondering if we're simply playing separate stories, or if there's an overarching plot in the setting that will just keep on trucking even if we never manage to remove the training wheels.

Is answering that a spoiler?
>>
>>3004286
I'm thinking having a lack of any sort of ambition/having a powerful patron would relegate us to separate stories and historical white noise so to speak
>>
>>3002150
Ok


>>3002154
No
