Many years from now, not far from home…

“And STAY OUT!” The innkeep brushes his hands, as if to dust off the filth of the troublesome patrons that had disrupted the bard’s story. “Pit take those same... anyway friend, where were you?”

The troubadour clears his throat. “I was just about to-“

“Just about to skip past the bit that children present ain’t fit to hear!” The innkeep’s wife fixes both her husband and the bard with a glare stern enough to stop a River Troll in its tracks.

“Right. Yes. Of course…” The wandering bard coughs nervously, trying to remember just how much he was supposed to censor. There was a really good limerick in there about licking and passionfruit… The troubadour looks down at the two children listening intently. “Hmm. Perhaps not. On to the next bit.”

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
As most of you are no doubt already well aware, last thread was interesting to say the least. Those seeking to catch up on the drama can find it in the archives. Stemming from this, one idea to help tie the noose around samefags was to have a time-limit on votes. I won’t require this for every post, just for the initial opening of the quest.

Votes that do not link back to an ID responding to THIS post between 30/08/2020 10pm-11pm AEST and 10am-11am AEST (12 hours from now) will NOT be counted.

As part of your verification post, you MUST include a sentence that might be found from the Book of Brothers. You don’t have to quote it chapter and verse, and it can be humorous if you like, but particularly good ones might be used later on in the quest.

It’s a bitch, I know, but I think it’s a reasonable precaution given what’s been happening lately. Votes will begin 24 hours from now.

Oh god what a pain in the ass but ok, I'm really tired but here goes I guess.

"And so they spoke, in those early days under rule of the tyrant Dragon, that all men were indeed equal, that the downtrodden masses were their brothers and sister and that together with torch and club they would rise up as one, an overwhelming force guided not just by truth but by the Almighty himself and break free of the shackles forced upon the, and smite their tyrannical ruler, and leave the cursed land for a new home, one destined to them and them alone. And so it was with blood and fire the people rose up, and so it was that many lives were lost, men and women and children cut down in the streets by those loyal to the Dragon. But freedom was a sweet salvation, a honeyed fruit, ripe and ready for the taking and the Brothers two led the masses outward towards the sea. There they faced buffeting winds and harsh storms and indeed more lives were lost, but as the sun rose on the new day, so too did the beginnings of a new chapter for the people of Canton, blessed were they to be lead by Adam and Cain to their new home."

Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the
Inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men
Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will
shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness
for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious
Anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers
And you will know
My name is Cain when I lay my vengeance upon thee

> "It is not that the Foe is untrustworthy. The Great Beasts are always true to their instincts, and can be trusted to act accordingly alone and never united. The Fae are even more singular of purpose and their individual perspective and it binds them tighter than any chain or collar man ever wore. The Beastmen can be trusted to turn on weakness, whether within their enemies ranks or their own. More than any man can be trusted to remain the same tomorrow as he is today, the Foe can be trusted to remain the Foe."

> "Therefore I do not refuse to make peace with the Foe because I don't think it possible. The Fae could be diverted into their games until they are consumed by the roles they create for themselves. The Great Beasts can be isolated and penned to their territories, easily satisfied and easily culled when one becomes a danger. The Beastmen could be beaten back, preferring to pick easier targets amongst themselves or perhaps even to beg some form of service from a strong and united Kingdom of Men. Knowing how they will act, they could be controlled."

> "What I do not trust are Men. We lead them now, and we are strong enough now to do all these things. But are we to rule them as well, brother? When the Foe seems weak will Men not forget the danger? Or worse, seek to use the Foe when Men fight amongst themselves? Men have chosen to refuse freedom for the certainty of chains, remaining slaves for fear or worse to be given small status over other slaves so they can be petty tyrants of their own. Men have died and more will die so long as this war continues, but each Man that dies first stands free and proud. Each Man that dies does so making sure their children can do the same by taking the Foe with him into death. We are not shepards of Men, we are their saviours."

> "It is the fickleness of men, not the Foe which is an eternal threat. When Men forget that the Foe is still and ever always exactly that, when they think they are any more or less than the Foe and can be ignored, or used, even served as if they weren't the Foe is when they will strike men down once more. By my blade I shall prove that the Foe are not the eternal threat. No man can bend his knee to the Foe, not in defeat nor in treacherous desire, if they're all dead. I refuse to rule Men, so I swear to leave them a world that doesn't need us to."

>"The Mother stood tall, though her heart was pounding and her legs felt numb. She was no great hero, no empowered magistrate, just the Mother of unruly Sons, standing defiant against the Tǟhn and his soldier. Her love and compassion for her Sons held her true in the face of their cruelty, whether it be by blade or torch. Though they ravaged her body, stole her eyes so that she never see her Sons again, cut out her tongue so that her Sons could never hear their Mother's voice again, and stripped her of every last dignity their foul samefagged minds could think of, Salve Reginae held true. In admiration for her selflessness and suffering, even the heartless Dragon felt touched when he discovered her injuries at his people's hands, and turned the Tǟhn and his men to ashes."

Not sure what book it would be from, but likely the equivalent of Exodus or something like that.

And so did the Brothers begin to see the dawning rays of manhood, though their lives were still all but enveloped in the cool and serene night of childhood. And with these rays came the belief in their own might that they lacked in prior years, but that they would not truly attain until years after. With these early-born revelations, they set out to confront those evils that had once been as children like the brothers themselves, but as the purpose and duty in the hearts of the brothers had grown ahead of their bodies, these others had that which lived in their hearts grow from a seed of innocent cruelty to knowing malice and evil. And this seed of wickedness had been watered by men whom the Almighty would see the brothers face when they were men in truth. These wicked men had employed the twisted youths to procure children and babes off the streets, for their most wicked purposes.
And so, the Brothers came to blows with their former tormentors in innocence, now enemies in truth and slew them. But as only one wheat grain my fill a stomach more with than without, so to did these youths additional year make the Brother's victory hard won. As the red wickedness seeped from their bodies as a river to an ocean, so to did the blood of the Brothers seep as stream to a river. They walked towards their Mother's hearth, not yet pooling blood, but they could feel the weakness of their bodies, such as a dam built by old and feeble beavers. In the battle, Cain's sword hand had been grievously injured, as had Adam's left leg.
"Brother, I cannot fight with you and keep you from harm" said Cain, with despair in his voice."And I can no longer shoulder your burdens, oh brother of mine" spoke Adam, his words as tears from his mouth. And thus Adam said, "I shall hold your sword when your arm falls." And in turn Cains said"And I shall shoulder your burdens when your leg fails". And this covenant of Youth and Strength found in their weakness, would keep true until the day of Martyrdom. At last they reached their door of sanctuary, and lo, it was compelled open, revealing in their Mother, in all her wrath. No words were spoken as she lifted them up, with the gentleness of a morning breeze and all the firmness of an executioner. As the bleeding was staunched and bones made right, the Brother's mortality was made known to them in full and they spoke not a word. At last, their Mother looked upon them, eyes of ice. But as spring must always come and bring with it its warmth to heal the cold of winter, so to did Her eyes melt into the warm rain of tears. Holding them in her embrace, thus She spoke
"Oh flesh of my womb, oh warmth of my breath, oh comfort and disquiet of my heart in equal measure, bless the Almighty you are safe in my arms." No further words were spoken that night, as tears flowing from the springs of their own eyes flowed across the Brother's cheeks, and a Communion of Tears needs no words.

>As the Dragon lay smote on the stairs, the Brothers stared down at the pitiable wreck before them. No proud Ruler lay before them, only a mess of ruined scales and blood. Cain rose his sword to end the Dragon, and felt Adam's hand on his shoulder.

"Brother, please. Spare this creatures life." Adam pleaded.

"Have you forgotten what he has done Brother? The lives stolen to feed the disgusting practices of his people? The chains of ourselves and our Mother? I'd sooner provide the mercy of the blade, and let the Almighty decide on his worthiness of being forgiven!"

>As Cain turned back towards the Dragon, Adam's next words stopped him in his tracks.

"Brother, do not forget that the Dragon was the only one who took vengeance on the Tǟhn. Even if it was for a moment, Mother showed him true strength then. He has already proven himself the lesser before us."

"As the great walls of the city were shattered, and stonework came crumbling down, Adam knew in his heart that he would soon lose something or someone very close to his heart. He thought of a brother and a mother, of a blooming kingdom snuffed out like a flickering candle. Little did he know, it was him who would make the great sacrifice. With the name of the Almighty on his lips, Adam raised his blade, glowing with ethereal light, and fought like an angel of vengeance as the dark horde came crashing upon him."

> "The Foe are not who I have placed my hopes on, Brother. No matter how many of them you slay, the Foe will still remain in the hearts of Men as a shadow. To truly defeat the Foe in the hearts of Men so that they may never make of Men slaves again we must surpass them. The lives of the people are worth more than the death of the Foe. Now that they are broken, must we still define ourselves by the bondage we suffered? Did not the Almighty reveal to us, and from us to the masses, that Freedom is not something we had to gain but that we simply didn't believe we already had it? The Almighty gave us hands to work with, minds to think with, and hearts to follow. We once chose to stop following the Foe as Masters, because the choicw was always ours. Now I choose to stop following them even as enemies."

> "It is time to stop fighting, to make a final break with the power they held over our lives. I will not let the Foe decide the future of Men. Instead, in this place where Men saw their power broken we shall build a new future where Men will not only forget that they were slaves but will refuse to believe they can be enslaved since they can always refuse."

> "While you speak of concern that Men might one day forget the dangers of the Foe if they no longer fear and hate them, I worry that without losing their fear and letting go of their hatred Men will never truly walk out of the shadow of the Foe."

> "We have led the Men that were once slaves to victory, we have siezed a land we can make our own. Many have died, and the loss of brothers both born of the womb and in war has takem its toll. Are we Beastmen, to mindlessly chase when our enemy is weak despite what it might cost us? Are we Fae, trapped in their roles and unable to change even when the world around them already has? Are we the beasts they always claimed us to be, different from the Great Beasts of the Wild only in the weakness of our bodies while also being weak in spirit and will? Perhaps able to wreak havoc when in great numbers much like any vermin left unchecked but unable to create a true civilization of our own? Brother. I don't want to kill the Foe, I wish to defeat them. To show them the proof that Men are the blessed children of the Almighty. Men have not the great strength of the body like the Great Beasts, or even like the lesser Beastmen who are hardy enough to survive suffering the harshness of the Wilds if need be should difficulties arise. Nor are Men beloved of Mana, summoning powers that cannot be resisted by the world when it obstructs us. Yet it has been revealed that we do not have those things because we do not need them.

It is still several hours before sunrise when Frida kicks you out of her bed, or the House De Ver bed to be perfectly accurate. Not for her the expected post-coital snuggling and cooing, or perhaps this office wasn’t as exclusive as you had first thought. You haven’t forgotten just who Frida Vancewell is or what she’s capable of, but for all that intimate affection to end with an ungracious eviction struck you as a little cold even for her. You were even starting to feel a little bit used. But, as she shooed you out the bedroom door with your clothes still bundled in your arms, she stopped you at the door and kissed you like she meant it. And by that you mean she bit your lip hard enough for it to hurt. But only just a little.

>GAINED Lady Frida Vancewell Advanced Favour: +6DC Intrigue/Counter-Intrigue, +1 Intrigue/Counter-Intrigue Re-Roll +1. Any double-pass in Persuade/Intrigue/Courtship will reveal whether that person is a Faction member.

Given that both Lady Vancewell and Josephine Daubeny have been in the periphery of the quest for some time now, and there will be no further opportunity to meet them during your stint in Cathagi, I see fit for us to skip to the ‘Advanced Favour’ step of the courtship. The next ‘official’ stage of courtship is writing to them, seeking their permission to start a correspondence. It varies on whether this permission is granted by themselves or the head of their family household, but it invariably indicates a further interest in exclusive relations with a mind to seek an engagement down the track. The Marquis Fallavon was not yet at this stage with Frida Vancewell, despite wearing her advanced favour. I don’t expect anons to make a decision on who they will seek to write to just yet.

You had put the lessons imprinted on you by the Patrikas to good use, Lady Frida Vancewell certainly had no complaints regarding your performance. Not that she didn’t have a thing or two to show you in return, in fact… well suffice it to say the two of you have little to fear in the way of any illegitimate offspring from this affair. You’re not entirely comfortable on what the Book of Brothers might say about -that- sort of behaviour, nor whether it would take a dim view of you seeing two women in as many nights and also intending to court Mademoiselle Daubeny before you leave. You tell yourself that you are just confused, your heart has yet to catch up with the options arrayed before you. Hopefully you can resolve that uncertainty quickly, before risking the Angel’s displeasure… not to mention potentially damaging your reputation as a gentleman of good repute.

It's good to have to back my man! Though I hate the time zone difference, it's 3:38 AM for me now when my favorite quest is starting!

File: Squire Mikail of Andryski.png (326 KB, 429x562)

326 KB PNG

Sir Rabe would probably slap your back and encourage to keep the women in your life guessing ‘treat ‘em mean, keep ‘em keen’ is likely what he’d say verbatim were you to confide in him. And that only solidifies your nagging suspicion that you are not showing all the moral fortitude you could here. As for Father Towbray… you sigh heavily as you slink back into your own bed. Your next confession is going to be unpleasant.

You awake a few hours later, having managed not to sleep the entire morning away again. You squint against the sunlight and wish that Mikail could have brought you a hot cop of khave to help shrug off the tiredness for today’s tasks, but your education on his courtly skills as an attendant are just barely sufficient to prevent serious embarrassment. You’ll have to focus on that aspect of his apprenticeship if you wish to look forward to that thoughtful kind of service. Cursing thoughtless squires and servants the world round, your grumbling only grows louder when you realise that your squire has let your breakfast cool. Chewing on a cold sausage as you watch him train with Sir dan Marc from your window, you figure that he’s getting enough of a beating as it is already without you adding to his growing number of bruises.

You take this opportunity to observe him without him aware of your presence, he always seems to try harder when he knows your watching. The boys forms are still very basic, even amateurish, but at least they are there. He’d give a common footman a run for his money, but any veteran man-at-arms worth his salt would make short work of him. Sir dan Marc is doing well to keep the boy up to his current standards of swordsmanship, and keeping up with his own regimen, but if you mean to hone the boy’s progress any faster you’ll have to begin paying more direct attention. As for his writing and reading… You shake your head, one thing at a time.

What the Fae destroy or divert with Magic when inconvenienced or found insufficent to their desires, we shall learn and improve on so that it doesn't last only the moment of the miracle but instead will become the foundation for the future to be built on in turn.

> "Brother, you have fought by my side for so long against the Foe. Be not bound by your Wrath against them. They can no longer choose for Men how to live, nor define the limits of man by their body or mana instead of by whether they have the will to persist and the faith that they can succeed. We have cast of our chains, yet you are now letting your Wrath bind yourself to them anew, only where once we fled you now wish to chase after our once Masters instead. The best use of a blade is when it is no longer need and layed down so that you might wield a plow instead. Your hands cannot build the future we fought for while still holding your sword."

- Adam in rebuttal to Cains desire to pursue the Foe, establishing that his path was not to destroy the enemies of Men but to instead surpass them. The Foe should not be hated for what they are, because they don't have the choice to be anything else. Men and the Sons however can choose to change. They were once slaves until they chose to be free. They are now soldiers in an army, but now that they can choose to instead become citizens building a Nation there isn't an excuse for choosing to keep fighting after the enemy is defeated simply because they can.

Just not feeling it man, the lack of snuggling is a deal breaker for me.

>>4430548
By Vancewell, I was speaking solely of the individual lady, not her house. She would likely be cool with her family getting the axe, as long as she inherited its wealth and power. Our sister and mother, on the other hand may be schemers that do view there siblings and children as pawns, but they also love them dearly and wish for them to be happy and safe if possible. And when they do view them as pawns on a board, it is always for the benefit of the house as a whole, not just for themselves. Vancewell has shown little of such loyalty for her own family beyond how it relates to herself.

>>4430569
I know you meant that. Which isn't entirely true - it's obvious she harbors some affection for her father, after all.

Will it hold in the face of ambition? Doubtful, but her father doesn't seem a man who believes in honor or loyalty. And no respect for her brother is only a point in her favor, to be honest.

What's my point? Other than joking about Emile's siscon tendencies, just that your list of flaws boil down to 'not on our side'. A tad hypocritical if you ask me, but Almighty knows that waifus bring out the most irrational side of Anons.

>>4430600
I agree with your last statement. I despise what waifu wars can do to a good Quest. I am not, however, for any waifu as I am pointing out some reasons why some may not be the best.
As for your conclusion that "your list of flaws boil down to 'not on our side'", I am not being cautious of her do to her not swearing loyalty or friendship to us, but that our morals and hers will likely come into conflict. If she can be shown to be more moral than what has been observed or that she can be gradually converted to a moral position closer to ours, the inevitable conflict could end very messily. In summation, it is not so much that she is "not on our side" at the moment, but as time progresses, she is unlikely to ever be " on our side".
I apologize if my statements came of as hypocritical or aggressive. Could you point out exactly how I was being hypocritical? I'd rather not make an argument later in the quest only to make a complete ass of myself.

This is what I mean by hypocrisy. You seem to be okay with our family doing questionable things if it benefits us, while Frida doing it for herself is bad. Both are examples of opportunistic selfishness.

Tied to this, Frida becoming like them is probably the most moral she'll ever be. It's fine in my book, but not everyone might think so.

And don't worry, you weren't aggressive.

>>4430706
Not all questionable things are equal. I have at worst heard of our mother attelpting to arrange marraiges and spread gossip. I have yet to hear of her snding assassins to kill people. While I do belive she is very capable of it and has may have done it, it is still diffrent to Vancwell admitting to sending goons to kill us. As you said, she could be more acceptable if she more closely mimics our female ralatives, but until that occurs, she is on record as performing actions that are morally inferior to anything that our family has on record(though, if Emile "remembers" overhearing his mother plotting something bad, that could change).
TL;DR Vancewell has crossed lines that we have not heard of our family crossing.

Romaine generally differs in the sense that the women of the house (which would likely be the mother/aunt of the women in question) are more likely to be the ones considering or proposing potential marriage prospects.

In other duchies this is strictly the purview of the male head of the household. Some will look purely at what their house stands to gain from a marriage, others will take their daughter/nieces affection or compatibility into account. Most will play a balancing act between the two.

>Your brother Damien entrusted you to deliver his missive to Lady Brunhilde Rabe. She and Sir Karlaus Rabe are due to depart the day after tomorrow, apparently some issues in their home duchy have them concerned. [Idealist]

“Come to see us off, Emile?” Sir Karlaus Rabe grins at your arrival. “And judging by your lack of armour it’s not to ask for my help in a mickle fight. You disappoint me, Romani.

“To deliver a letter actually. I have better things to do than let my good name be tarnished by association with some gruff Montbrun lout.” You grin back at your friend, well accustomed to his verbal sparring after weeks on the road from Aubrey to Motte-Fallavon.

“A letter? Who for?”

“The Lady Brunhilde Rabe, of course.” You present the letter just out of reach. “No one writes to you, on account of the fact you can’t read.”

“Ha. Ha. Very funny.” Karlaus squints suspiciously “Who from?’

Your brother made no mention of whether this letter was to be delivered discretely, without Sir Karlaus Rabe being aware of it. If it really was his intention to begin a secret correspondence with Lady Rabe, which you doubt given the general air of approval your sister indicated on the match, you feel that he certainly would have told you.

“Buzz off, Sir-Sticky-Beak!” Lady Brunhilde Rabe all but snatches the letter out of your proffered hand, giggling excitedly as she reads. “Oh! It is from him! I’d been hoping he’d send it! Oh. My. Gosh! He wants to write to me! Me! Little-Miss-Chatterbox, well Mademoiselle Kroger can choke on that nickname, she doesn’t have a dashing Young Lord seeking her hand! Father will approve of course. He better approve. If he doesn’t I’m going to absolutely…”

Karlaus ignores his sister’s prattling to regard you inscrutably. The two of you know full well that an exchange of letters between his sister and your brother is a precursor to marriage down the line.

“Hey now, don’t shoot the messenger.” You say jokingly, but your friend still seems concerned. “My apologies for the jest, Karlaus. What troubles you?”

“This brother of yours… is he a good sort?”

“I would follow him to the gates of Ardenne itself.” For a Romani, there can be no greater attestation of confidence. The significance of the statement seems a little lost on your Montbrun friend.

“Well, I’m sure you would. If only because that sounds like a bloody good fight.” Your friend Karlaus rubs his neck, “What I mean is though… does he hit his women? When he’s been at the drink like…”

“What? No!” Your voice raises an octave in sheer shock at the suggestion. “Reginae wept, no! Why would you even ask that?”

“Well I have to ask, don’t I!” Karlaus responds defensively. “I’m her brother, you know. Can’t bloody well challenge my friend’s kin to a deul over it if it comes about later, now can I?”

You shake your head at your friend’s incredibly low bar for what constitutes a good husband. You can’t even imagine a Romani husband would ever act like that. Oh there are rumours, of course, your sisters are probably more up to speed with that sort of thing. Usually it’s in the cases of a husband from another Duchy, and according to Roselyn such brutish men tend to be fairly accident prone.

“I can assure you that Damien Andrei is a good and righteous man. He would never dream of laying a hand on a woman in anger.”

“Phew. That’s a relief.” Karlaus breathes out. Then he grins widely. “So does this mean you and I might become brothers-in-law?”

Moving on to more weighty matters, you discuss with your mountain-living comrade what sparked their early departure home after receiving letters from home. Although they weren’t told to come home, the news those letters carried was enough to encourage them to cut their trip short.

“Hilde would obviously love to stick around and enjoy the Port Bounty shopping scene a bit more, but I had to put the foot down.” Despite claiming to be in charge, Karlaus makes sure his sister is out of earshot when he mentions that ‘put the foot down’ bit. “There’s been twice as many reports of snakemen sightings and raids this past year already than in the two years before it. Castle Rabe is a tough nut to crack, bloody reptiles couldn’t manage it if we left the fucking gates unlocked. Still, it’s home. And I worry.”

“Has the threat of the snakemen really become so grave?” You ask with surprise, this is all news to you. For the first time in months you think about your investments in Tracker Jean’s trade caravan operating out that way. You’d almost forgotten her venture was out in the Wastelands, if not the woman herself. You tell yourself not to worry, you’re sure Tracker Jean knows what she’s doing. She was probably back in civilised Cantonian lands before this all broke out anyway.

“Nah. Word was that the Broken Blade sending a contingent of their best through Gabriel’s Gate to pacify the snakemen. Lead by Godric ‘Godfather’ himself, I heard.” Your friend shrugs, a wry grin on his face. “I’m probably getting worried over nothing. Odds are the Broken Blade has put this threat to rest already, and taken the lion’s share of the glory to boot. Still, if you don’t mind whetting your blade on some snakemen necks you’re more than welcome to join us after your pilgrimage.”

You inform your friend that you’re considering staying on past the Final Vigil in Cathagi, having received a recommendation for the Dragon Guard.

“Swapping thousands of little serpents for one big one, eh? Ah well, it’ll probably be all over by then.” Karlaus grins optimistically. “A nice summer campaign in the mountains, under the Duke’s Banner, to clear out the scalies in the valleys. Probably won’t even get a decent battle out of it, but oh well. Done by this winter, I don’t doubt. A few months altogether, a year tops. Nothing you need to worry about. Safe travels, friend.”
“And to you, my friend.” You pause as you walk away. “Karlaus…

“Hm?”

I feel this is a natural course of action for Emile, given all the trials and time we spent on the road with Karlaus. This can also tie into us eventually riding to their family Oathstone to swear the blood oath we were debating in previous threads.

If it comes during our stint, we'll go on our knees and ask for dispensation to return home before coming back to serve the remainder of our term.

“If you call upon House Andrei, we will answer. Or I will, at any rate. Even if that means I must ride to your aid alone.” You do not go so far as to pledge the loss of an eye, finger or some other ligament should you fail to fulfil oath. That is a Montbrun custom and in any case the witnesses of Karlaus and Brunhilde to your oath are enough. “I will so swear it.”

“If the time comes, I’m glad I can at least rely upon you to honour your oath when you return.” Sir Karlaus Rabe’s face breaks into an easy grin as he slaps you heartily on the shoulder. “But it will not come to that, friend. I am sure of it.”

You feel a little silly, swearing an oath to come to your friend’s aid for what will most likely prove unnecessary. The Montbrun have been keeping the snakefiends at bay since the very foundation of Cantôn. House Rabe will not be troubled by a few barbaric scalies lurking in their mountain homes. Still, it felt like the right thing to do and Karlaus took your oath with good grace.

Having bid your goodbyes, you make your way to the Praetor Commandery.

File: Praetor Thomas York.jpg (79 KB, 500x750)

79 KB JPG

Sir Thomas York, who accompanied you on the raid of The Hole a few nights ago, is happy to meet with you. It's been a busy few days for him, having taken over the investigation from the unpleasant Praetor san Kilroy.

Sir York grimaces when you ask why san Kilroy was removed from the investigation. “There were a lot of names in that ledger.”
Sir York goes on to explain what has happened in your absence. The Golden Sun captain was good to his word, handing over a none-too-happy Lorenzo to the Praetors. Eager to make a deal, the shifty Langlish spymaster was quick to name names. The Butcher of Port Bounty turned out to be none other than Monsieur Quill Wavell, Priest-Preferati. You’re surprised at the allegation, you’ve never spoken to him but you’d spotted the man at the Duke’s Ball the other night. To your eyes he seemed a rather bookish and unassuming fellow, hardly capable of the kind of horror he has been accused of. But looks can be deceiving.

It was, by all accounts, a rather dramatic arrest made by none other than Officer Zachariah of the Port Bounty Watch, 17th Rota. Any qualms concerning Monsieur Wavell’s innocence were put to rest upon discovery of the… ‘evidence’ in his private quarters. It makes sense, the more you think about it. Him being a distant relative of the late Esquire Liam Wavell explains how he got in touch with the Faction in the first place. As Priest-Preferati, a candidate to become a Monsignor in time, that would explain his title in the note. Although not given due respect and influence as much in Pascae as they are in Romaine, senior members of the priesthood would be a uniquely attractive prospect if blackmail was uncovered, say that they were a mass-murderer in their spare time. Whether that was indeed the reason the Faction utilised Monsieur Quill Wavell as they did is neither here nor there, what is clear is that the man’s murderous appetites clearly grew following his misadventure in Northern Fallavon.

You can only imagine what he witnessed, or what kind of ‘evidence’ the Praetors uncovered when making the arrest. But you were otherwise unavailable, and it seems they had the matter well in hand in any event. Sir York admits his people have stalled on the slaver investigation front, but they’ll keep following leads as they arise. You decide to keep silent on that, you don’t doubt the Ordo Reginate will be making an altogether more decisive and indiscriminate application of justice there.

“Praetor Primus Holt is currently in a meeting, but he’ll want a word when he’s done.” Sir York gestures at the despondent figure of Sir Bartholomew Wavell down the hallway. “I think the killer’s cousin was also asking after you.”

Sir Bartholomew Wavell, normally a haughty and gregarious fellow, seems to have aged 10 years since you last saw him on the arm of Mademoiselle Gilbern at the Duke’s Ball.

“My own kinsman… Reginae Wept, can you believe it? I broke bread with that man… He gave the last rites at my brother’s funeral!” Sir Wavell slumps further into the bench, his head between his hands. “Cain on the Cross… Mademoiselle Gilbern will never accept my proposal now. And why should she? Who would want to marry into a House that sired the Butcher of Port Bounty?”

You do not tell Sir Wavell that his own House’s infamy will soon be matched or even overshadowed by the fate that will befall House Hewitt. It does not seem appropriate at this current point in time.

“Here. Your payment for finding the killer, as promised.”

The additional writein too to comfort him somewhat and the veiled references wouldnt compromise any actions that the Reginae may take and also set us to look like we have connections with the Ordos, meaning we'll be a good friend to have.

Realistically, I think that Lord Gilbern may still actually still approve the match. His house of cards of blackmail is falling and tying his house in matrimony to another large player in the scene will grant him some much needed stability and backing.

Dude is more interested in the loss of marriage prospects rather than you know, the deaths caused by a madman.

The Cainfag in me is miffed, that's all.

Thats fair but prehaps that just speaks to his smitten nature rather than an active discardment of the lives taken....

I really don't know what to vote for here. I'm not gonna give the money back and Emile is no copper clipper to ask for more. But The middle option to possibly recruit him isn't really taking my fancy.

I'll support this.

Also I would recommend that he takes the TWO wealth he promised us as a reward and donates it to those harmed by the villains.

We found a bunch of orphaned children after all, and someone needs to care for them. He can show by his deeds to Lady Gilbern that he is cut from a different cloth than his cousin of the cassock.

Decent idea with money. Push him to use it for good. I can support that as an add-on to the idealist route

If your Cup still Overflows, then us it to do your best do give to city and its people more than what your kinsman took away. I will be away in Cathagi for a time and when I get back, I would be pleased to hear the Wavell name spoken of followd by a toast and not spittle. You are a good man and I belive you can do it.
So, rougly the same as this vote

Mark my words anons, DON'T refuse the Wavell money. I got a sneaking suspicion that rich Pascae copper clippers like him would find that an insult. Like we're too good for his money or something. Better not risk it.
