Title: [FEF] [IC Thread] The Path to Liberty - Chapter 1
Post by: Glowcat on February 01, 2015, 10:33:48 pm
All kinds of questions, character sheet edits, story discussions and all non-IC stuff are to be posted in the OOC Thread! ---> OOC Thread (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=148149.0)

~ Post formatting is mandatory! ~

"Anything you say should be colored and in quotation marks."
If you just want to think, italicize.
Plain text is for descriptions and fluff.
Bold your text when you're giving orders.

Don't post in this thread unless I tell you your character is in. Violations will result in naughty person punishment.

In battle the game progresses in 3 Phases:

Player Phase: Players post, and I respond until all active players have made a turn. If a player is inactive for a lengthy period of time (generally 40 hours or longer since the most recent Enemy phase post), other players may be asked to move inactives until they return. Once all players have made their actions, Enemy phase begins.
Enemy Phase: All enemies get their actions. I roll what needs to roll. Then the Ally phase begins.
Ally Phase: All NPC allies to the player party act as per the above steps. When they finish it's a new round and we go back to the beginning.

A great war threatens the stability of northern Ibres and those in its path cannot help but be swept away. Is there any good that can come from this bloodshed?

Or is it yet another folly like those that came before?



~~Prologue: Home Sweet Home~~



(http://i.imgur.com/1TmZGmF.png)




Lord Heston's party arrives at the edge of Throneshadow Keep. The village along the valley road that also belonged to the fief (sharing its name) had seen better days. The peasants and village folk who did not live further out feared your party were Brettian raiders.

Historically their brigand parties would strike into the forested borders of Molvonia without fear, and great reward, before retreating to Westshire where the local Lord-Mayor would rebuke any Molvonian demands for justice. With the war their predicament would've been bad enough, but the lands here fell to Count Zhardif of Endsdale, who cared little for them and the keep's defenses beyond what taxes he could extort. And now you've heard a Necromancer has taken root for the past few years... It is a travesty that this situation has lasted as long as it has, but now...

The Seneschal gifted to Lord Heston's new household, Harold Klessen, is an old soldier and King's Man who served under Joric Avon before his liege's unfortunate duel, but on your journey here you had begun to rely on the grave man's loyalty and drive to humble service.

(http://i.imgur.com/RoFQFFQ.png) "The keep remains just ahead. Hopefully you will be prepared for whatever trickery the criminal within has used to squat here against all challengers for the past 17 months." "According to the lookout I hired, he doesn't seem to leave the castle's interior often, only coming out to harvest the House Inarys mausoleum or village graveyard for bodies." "And while the call to service was on short notice we do appear to have had some success." He points his hand towards the waiting Trakri, Vara, Nanoha, and Christoph. "Hopefully this force, along with the retainers who came with you, will be enough." "I'm afraid I won't be able to join you in this battle, as I will be organizing with the villagers and the builders I hired to fix this... "

(http://i.imgur.com/UEiMEVN.png) "unfortunate condition."

(http://i.imgur.com/RoFQFFQ.png) "But the Crown-Princess also intends this to be your right of passage. She wishes the border secure, and thus has asked that you prove yourself in battle. As my last order I was told not to interfere with this task... except..."

He reaches into his rider's pouch and pulls from it a vial of pure crystal water.

(http://i.imgur.com/RoFQFFQ.png) "To provide you this in the event that you cannot handle whatever magic he has on hand. If you do not need it now, you will in the coming months as we renew the fight against Letia and the other nations."

Lord Charles Heston receives Pure Water! (can be traded before battle)


(http://i.imgur.com/RoFQFFQ.png) "Is there anything else I can do for my Lord before I head out to make the arrangements?"





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



// Lord's Party! // Charles Heston, Kristii, Mordecai, and Tirena Nerarand are in!

// Recruitment Party! // Trakri Vendison, Vara, Nanoha Kaname, and Christoph Lorenz are in!

Battle will begin after the Lord's Command!

(You have time for out of battle introductions - though even after start you can "retroactively RP" this period to some extent - and each party can retroactively RP the period it was together)

Charles listened intently to Harold's information. He'd started to rely on him ever since leaving home and having him suddenly announce he wouldn't be with them for the battle made him feel uneasy. But it was apparently a right of passage and he couldn't rely on Harold for that, it was a test of his ability to both fight and lead. If he couldn't do that there would be no place for him in Molvonia even when the war ended since it'd only be a matter of time before they were at war again. Unless this war somehow made the royal family more careful about warring with the other countries. He looked over the group he managed gather.

(http://i.imgur.com/IPHoG55.gif)Far from anything I'd expected but that describes this entire scenario... I'll have to work hard to become someone worthy of leading them.

He turned to Harold, gratefully accepting the vial of Pure Water.
(http://i.imgur.com/Y6TB7LD.gif)"Thank you, Harold, I'll make sure to use it to it's fullest." He paused to think, did he need anything else? Not that he could think of now. "No, that will be all," he said, dismissing him. "Stay safe."

Charles couldn't help but ease up a little at Kristii's enthusiasm.
(http://i.imgur.com/Dvil7Bc.gif)"I doubt it'll be that easy but I'm confident in everyone's ability to fight... And hey, you might've just tagged along but you're officially one of my retainers, that means work." Despite saying that, he didn't actually intend to make her, or anyone save Harold really, do more than guard his life.

But more importantly he's been a scourge on these people for far too long. By driving him out not only will we gain a home but do a great service to these people. I may only know the names of some of you but I'm confident that we can drive him out." He briefly wondered if he'd done that right but put it out of his mind as he lead the group into the keep.

~~Player Turn 1~~

Unsure what to expect, your force enters the keep's gatehouse though the doorway that once contained a large spiked portcullis and into the mold covered stone hallways. The darkness hangs thick and only a few torches supplement the sunlight that makes its way through open windows or holes in the structure. You already see a few of the necromancer's minions loitering around the courtyard.

(http://i.imgur.com/AhsYpiY.png) "You... you look well armed too..."

(http://i.imgur.com/k0x8LWD.png) "Well you can't have it! The castle is mine! The magic orb is mine! The tome is mine! It's all MINE! I'll have to put a stop to this I will..."

He calms down and grins menacingly for a moment before dramatically pointing at your party and screaming.

(http://i.imgur.com/s4fLS0t.png) "MINIOOOOOOONS!!! AH-TAAAAAACK!"

The necromancer grins as if he's incredibly pleased with himself. There is a brief moment of silence but then the entire castle comes alive with the crack of brittle bones and low moaning of the undead and the man begins laughing maniacally.

Charles grit through the pain of the dark magic that slammed into him. He wanted to reach for the pure water but stopped himself. Instead he pointed his lance at the necromancer.

This is real life, not one of those fantasy stories I read to you, there are no quick and clever solutions for me. The simplest way to solve this problem  would be for us to kill the necromancer; without his power, the undead will crumble."

Charles collapsed as the spell slammed into him but it wasn't enough to knock him out. Hr groaned in pain as he rolled himself away, from the now dead necromancer, onto his back. He'd heard everything that had happened but had yet to see anything. He grabbed his lance and used it to help himself up and tried to lean on to keep him up, it could barely support his weight.

(http://i.imgur.com/DDcWcJq.gif)"What the hell..." he muttered when he saw the scene, hearing and seeing were two completely different things apparently. There was talk of her, Lilie, being a partial vampire but it was already was under control thanks to Mordecai. He walked over to Kristi as she seemed to be in the same boat as him.

(http://i.imgur.com/Y6TB7LD.gif)"Yeah, that fits me too. Got a bit too heated and lost myself there, really shouldn't have done that though. I'm supposed to be a calm and collected leader, not a loose cannon like that."

The entire time Lilie was held by Vara, she just stood there in a daze, transfixed on the blood around her. Slowly, clarity returns to her gaze, and her eyes depart from their violent red hue.

Suddenly realizing the situation only after she had begun to speak, she does a double take, whipping her head around to take in the scene.

Mordecai gave a nod to Vara; the girl seemed to be out of it for now, and if worse came to worst there was virtually no way for a single woman to win a fight against all of them.

(http://s19.postimage.org/5sj23azjz/mordecai_default.png): "Lilie, I believe that you may be a vampire. Obviously not a full one however, and that's extremely rare. I would like for you to stay around for a time, while we get this situation sorted out." He pulled a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to the purple-haired girl. "Go ahead and clean your face off, and get your thoughts in order. We'll talk in a bit."

Lilie accepts the handkerchief gratefully and cleans herself, managing to remove the blood from her clothing as well.

With visible effort, Lilie attempts to calm herself.

"No, you're right... I-I need to get my thoughts in order... I'll be ready to talk soon."

Charles had still yet to be healed so dragging the body of one of the zombies was much harder than it should've been. He only had one hand to work with, the other was gripping his lance turned walking cane, and being that he was trying to drag a zombie it kept falling a falling apart or getting stuck on something. It eventually got to the point where he was essentially just kicking it towards the exit.

A retainer is a person, often noble-born but sometimes an exceptionally-skilled individual of lower class, who serves a lord directly and fights alongside him in battle.

Tirena was not what you'd call used to physical labour. She practised her archery, but the maids at the castle took care of everything else, and most people treated her with excessive care. It could get annoying sometimes, but Tirena was also quite fond of living in luxury... she hoped the peasants could fix the mansion up quickly. In truth, living in a warhost didn't sound very fun at all.

She slipped away, clicking her tongue and listening to the echoes. She'd had a book read to her on it - where one could learn to see in the way of bats... Maybe they'd be something more interesting than cleaning up old bones.

Tirena didn't have to go far before she picked up on an interesting echo in what must have once been a chapel to some unknown small pantheon adjacent to the throne room--or rather, what was left after time and looting brought it ruin. It seemed hollowed, yet contained an item within. Maybe a staff?

I imagine that you will be able to work past if fairly quickly, especially with the human portion of your mind providing some manner of restraint. As for the magic.."

Exploooores!

Exploration of the rest of the keep grants explorers a tour through its rotting interior. It's surprising that this much of the place was still standing, as several of the support beams looked to be ready to give up their life of wood at any moment. She runs across the remains of the feast hall in the western part of the keep, and even discovers the kitchen where a rotting corpse with a bloody cleaver and a decayed chef's hat lies on sprayed out on the ground face-first. The pantry is a mess but apparently the necromancer kept it clean enough to store food and other essentials.

Towards the east halls there were servants quarters, though not very many, and what looks to be an entrance to the old dungeons. However, their cells were dark and empty, unused for years. Finally to the southeast was a warrior's hall, a relic of previous times that included a retinue's armory and war planning area, where a rusty armaments lines the walls and a map several decades out of date loomed overhead. The map seemed to have been torn partially, as if somebody had tried to loot it and then thought better after their blunder, but otherwise its preservation indicates either an enchantment or uncommon material to have survived the molding and vermin otherwise untouched.


The project of cleaning this place would not be an easy undertaking. Fortunately aid was on its way... and the clopping of hooves announced Klessen's arrival as he made his way to the throneless Lord's Hall where the Necromancer lay dead.

(http://i.imgur.com/24AzSH2.png) "The preparations have been complete. The Royal Purple..." He hesitates for a moment, distracted by Vara's hair color and the coincidence of names, before shaking his head and continuing "The Royal Purple Architects are building a base camp nearby and should begin construction by next dawn."

Taking note that the Baron and new recruits were cleaning the corpses themselves. He coughs for a moment before contributing a suggestion.

Outside of the keep there were already villagers gathered in curiosity as to whether they would continue to be neighbors to the undead and their bully of a master when Charles exited and gave his speech. They were a ragged lot, worn by starvation and regularly extorted from whomever wandered into the town with weapons, and many of the able-bodied men had been taken away to fight in the war.

The celebration at the keep's entrance wrapped up and without much further fanfare besides a sparse feast down at the village. Two days passed and the Royal Architects appeared as promised with wagons full of building materials despite the hardships of the untended valley paths and their forests. The architects erected a pavilion tent along the keep's side and begun surveying its structural integrity, clearing the corpses, and preparing to knock down cracked walls or failing supports. There was an issue with one of the men going missing in the night but a full scale search of the keep's interior turned up nothing and it was assumed that he might have found a treasure of some kind in the walls and absconded.

Meanwhile, a wooden chair had been provided in the Court to service as a seat of the Baron's authority until a more suitable replacement could be imported or constructed by the carpenters, and futons were provided for his personal guard. The next morning brought with the chair a use, for the first of what may become many supplicants seeking his input as arbitrator to redress community wrongs or receive requests from people local and from other parts of the kingdom. Others present seemed to be visitors, who had come out of curiosity or a desire to introduce themselves to the new lord of Throneshadow.

Mordecai decided to hold his first lesson outside since the interior of the manor was filled with the sounds of architects and builders hard at work. He had commandeered a small table on which rested several tomes, including the Necromancer's former possessions.

Title: Re: [FEF] [IC Thread] The Path to Liberty - Prologue
Post by: Sirus on March 18, 2015, 02:20:25 am
Mordecai nodded.

(http://s19.postimage.org/5sj23azjz/mordecai_default.png): "Very well. First, the different sources of magic. There is anima magic, which draws on the spirits found in the world around us. There is light magic, which draws on one's self-confidence and is frequently, though not always, used by those of a religious nature. Staffs are an unusual class of magical implements in that they only amplify one's already-existing magical potential."

(http://s19.postimage.org/cx0vcc6tb/mordecai_ce.png): "And then finally, there is ancient magic, more commonly referred to as dark magic. This is, as the name might suggest, the oldest form of magic humanity was able to master. It draws on the innate power lurking within us, and is capable of doing great good or great evil. Sadly, most nowadays pursue ancient magic for evil purposes. Due to its power source this form of magic can also be used in rituals and more esoteric schools of magic, such as necromancy."

(http://s19.postimage.org/5sj23azjz/mordecai_default.png): "But I digress. You wanted to learn more about my brand of magic, didn't you? There are three main schools of dark magic, and all are slightly different: dread, druidic, and ancient. Dread magic is what most people think of when they imagine dark magic; stripping flesh from bones, boiling blood, destroying souls, etc. It is among the most powerful schools of magic but also lacking in subtlety.

Druidic magic is a very strange school. It essentially turns one's "essence" against oneself in order to deal devastating damage. However, each spell is tuned against a different sort of essence and thus does poorly when facing something else; a tome designed to combat the mindset of a man wielding an axe would fare poorly against the same man wielding a sword, as it would not be the exact same essence. I do not claim to hold much fondness for this school of magic but in the right hands it can be very powerful."

(http://s19.postimage.org/v7zyj175r/mordecai_magic.png): "And finally, there is ancient magic. This school evolved from the ancient - and very unreliable - hexes and curses that our earliest ancestors would place upon each other, and according to my research was the very first magic to be properly identified and defined. Ancient magic lacks the sheer power of the other schools, but it makes up for it in being able to confound and disrupt the enemy, like the swarms of insects I summoned to throw off the necromancer's aim in yesterday's battle. It is my preferred variety of magic."

The vampire hoped that the young girl had been paying attention, since it was a long-winded speech and he was not going to waste time repeating himself. He gestured to the small pile of books on the table.

(http://s19.postimage.org/5sj23azjz/mordecai_default.png): "Why don't you try a few of these out? You should know right away if you have the potential to use magic, though do not be surprised if you cannot make anything happen just yet. It takes time and practice to be able to create even a simple ball of light."

Lilie had indeed been paying attention. She had a few questions, too. Mordecai had given her useful information but she was still quite confused.

(http://s5.postimg.org/9nsw6itgz/Post_Timeskip_2l.png) "So 'Ancient Magic' is both a subcategory and the name of the magic itself. Wouldn't that make 'Dark Magic' a more correct term, or at least a less confusing one?

Secondly, you've explained the properties and applications of magic, but you haven't explained how to actually use it. There are three tomes in front of me but they seem pointless since I don't know their purpose. Do I touch them, do I read them, do I look at them and try to will something into existence really really hard?
What do I do?"
Title: Re: [FEF] [IC Thread] The Path to Liberty - Prologue
Post by: Sirus on March 18, 2015, 03:04:23 am
Mordecai paused. That was actually a good question.

(http://s19.postimage.org/4wmknupvj/mordecai_surprised.png): "...to be honest, calling it ancient magic is mostly a quirk of mine. "Dark" tends to have negative connotations in most people's minds, especially since the invention of the dread school, so I try to term it as something else when speaking with strangers. In more rural parts of the world, admitting to being a dark mage can lead to one being chased with pitchforks and torches. I would rather call the entire branch Ancient magic and find a different name for my chosen school, but most other dark mages simply don't care enough to make the effort of changing commonly-accepted terminology."

(http://s19.postimage.org/5sj23azjz/mordecai_default.png): "As for actually using the tomes, yes you must hold them. You can read them if you wish; in fact you should read at least the first page as it will tell you how the spell the tome contains will function." Mordecai opened his Swarm tome and flipped through the pages, holding it so that Lilie could see. "As you can see, the text repeats itself after a few pages. Each of these sequences is a single "charge" of magic; the ink itself contains the tome's power, and as you cast magic in battle the pages turn blank. When the tome is completely blank, it is utterly drained of magic and therefore useless. Now, simply reading the text will not trigger any effect - you must concentrate your own latent energy and channel it through the tome to activate the magic contained within the pages. I'm afraid I cannot easily describe how this is done; it is instinctive to those who possess the ability. If I were to hand this tome over to Lord Heston he would not feel a thing. Which is why I want you to pick up one of these tomes and see if there is any reaction at all. It doesn't have to be a powerful reaction - just enough to give you an idea of how magic feels in your hands."

Tirena herself had had the servants set up a set of targets. Slowly, she drew back the string of her bow and set arrows thudding into each.
Thunk.

Vara had been watching the courtyard from next to a pillar, not participating in the conversation, simply watching. A country where anyone could use dark magic... She shook her head. If only they'd gotten out sooner.

Yet another figure was stationed in the courtyard-- Kristii had made her way over to perch upon one of the walls of the courtyard, and was hanging off of the edge face-first and seemingly precariously in order to spy on the magic lesson.

(http://s5.postimg.org/9nsw6itgz/Post_Timeskip_2l.png) "For a blind lady you seem to have such an easy time shooting those targets, Ms. Tirena. I'd be fine with you waving a stick around my head... Presuming you had practiced with it first."

With the steady thunk of the arrows impacting their targets in her ears, Lilie looks over the tomes.

Come on, I can do this. Morde said I'm connected with it naturally becase of the vampire blood, I just have to try...

Placing her hands on the Druidic tome, she searched into herself, to the back of her mind, and there she found a small pool. The pool was dark. It made her wary, but she plunged in headfirst and pulled the magic out. It was incredibly difficult, she could only manage to grasp a small portion of that dark pool at a time, but it seemed to be enough. A small amount of smoke wafted up into the air and was dispersed by the breeze.

Trying the Ancient tome... Nothing. Perhaps Morde's presence was somehow interfering, perhaps she simply had no connection to it, but there was no reaction.

And at least, the Dread tome. Lilie was a bit worried, Dread magic was supposedly the type with the most raw power, but it was also unwieldy and difficult to control. Trying the same thing once more, the Dread tome almost ripped the magic she attempted to channel from her grasp. A large gash appeared on the table, and several small cuts appeared on her hands.

"Ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow! This kinda hurts."

Thankfully, despite being painful, the wounds were shallow and didn't seem like they'd need to be looked at.
If she had been able to put more magic into the tome, and had attempted to do so... Well, she didn't want to think about what might have happened.

Charles sat in his chair, his arms resting on the arm rests. Whenever there was a switch he would shift in his seat, he wasn't used to sitting for so long, especially not in the morning. He did his best not to look bored as the morning proceding dragged on. While it was true that he wanted to help people, the concerns were all so petty that all he could do is say, "I'll look into it," and usher in the next villager. Naturally when Acacia walked in it was a welcome relief to the tedium.

(http://i.imgur.com/Y6TB7LD.gif)"You're first name's... Acacia, right?" he asked as he wracked his brain. Acacia Bribush... he repeated mentally. It sounded familiar... Oh! "It's been a long time since that party, hasn't it?"

He almost apologized for the fate of her family but stopped himself; there was no need to bring that up and she probably didn't want his pity. He cleared his throat.

This world was a lot more varied than Lilie was led to believe. Her memories had mostly returned but a few things were still hazy. She now knew she was raised in a small village near the border. Her father was a Molvonian scholar, her mother a Brettian huntress. She had had a younger sister too, though she didn't know what had happened to any of them. She had spotted a plume of smoke from the distance while out at a spot she liked to visit, and had returned to find the village razed and soldiers leaving it. They had nearly found her too, but she was lucky...

Presumably her family were all dead. She had cried herself to sleep the night she remembered it. By now, she had come to accept it. Perhaps her family were still alive? Unlikely as it was, it was possible.

Vara had snuck off from the courtyard after Lilie had hurt herself, having no more interest in having memories brought back to the surface. She'd instead ended up watching the audience going on. The girl had strange armor, but seemed like an interesting addition if Charles decided to let her join. She quietly mused to herself.

The old man, was his part, was currently snoozing away in the corner, trying to get some well deserved rest after a long trip.  Though he'd been welcomed warmly enough by old friends and comrades-in-arms still alive to reminisce about old battles, and nigh-as-well by many others, the walking he'd insisted on had been rough for someone of his advanced age.  The yelling at an old estate a few days past had been even moreso.  Still, he was content enough leaning against a pillar as opposed to a bed, and he was in no particular hurry to speak with the little lord now reigning in this hall.

(http://i.imgur.com/p4Muy0B.png) "Mmmmgh..."

He yawns, his eyes opening until he could blink at the nearby girl, raising one of his bushy eyebrows at her hair.

(http://i.imgur.com/FYdGyZq.png)"Ahh, sorry, my girl.  I hadn't known the Queen was interested enough in this border hall to send one of her... cousins?  Half-sisters?"

I just have always liked the color purple, so I decided to dye it this color. Can't say I put much thought into it.

Mordecai was a bit blindsided but answered Vara's question anyway.

Oh, well, the law forbidding commoners from having purple or pink hair was repealed 31 years ago, following the trial of a noblewoman named Elizabeth Amy. She had been born with pink hair, which was forbidden to one of her status, but she was allergic to hair dye and magic had no effect. At her trial, she argued that the law was discriminatory against those who had no choice but to commit a crime. The king nearly ordered her head shaved, but instead decided to change the law."

Tirena had more focused on launching arrows than the half-vampire, truth be told. The Princess was a... tender spot to be poked by a relative stranger. She collected the arrows slowly, running her hand over the rough straw of the targets. Bulls-eye. Bulls-eye. Hmmph, that was was in the outer ring. It was a lot easier to hit now than it was in combat.

Still, perhaps she could find someone to take her mind off it. The half vampire had been friendly enough, though the whole half dead bit was...

She stretched her arms. It was kind of boring without the princess around. Even when they argued, it was something to do. The man who invented a book the blind could read would be a very rich man indeed. Perhaps some kind of magic? She'd have to ask Mordecai.

The blind archer headed inside. She could hear people talking... something about books. Huh.

As pleased as Mordecai was to meet the one and only Sir Teagan, he wasn't sure what the man himself could offer to Lord Heston. He didn't seem like the warrior type, and his advanced age could become an issue as it inevitably did for all humans. Still, it wasn't up to him to decide who to bring on as a retainer. He turned when Tirena spoke to him.

Tirena's prodding was irritating, but there was nothing Mordecai could do about it. He had tried to get into the tome-crafting guilds at one point but they had a very strict humans-only policy. Even the ingredients used to make the magical ink that all tomes used was a closely guarded secret.

Klessen bows and leaves the room, returning with a man of southern origin. The most attention demanding trait that could describe him is massive. Not only his muscular frame, but the aura he seemed to exude took up a lot of space, and almost completely subsumed the smaller quiet presence which hid behind him.

(http://i.imgur.com/tbeiYDm.png) "Nice to finally get a chance to see you, Sir Baron." He takes a look at the bruised couple and he chuckles a bit with a deep bass voice. Without much apparent regard for formality he commented on your battle. "I'd say she got the better of you this time around. Good thing it was a practice match, eh?"

(http://i.imgur.com/qi6PsOL.png) Bringing himself back on track he continued "Anyways, the name is Barcus, and this...", he reaches behind to pat the girl hiding behind him lightly on the head, "...is my sister Luca. Don't be rude sis, say hello at least."

(http://i.imgur.com/hqZbJ4g.png) "H-hello." The woman tentatively raises her left hand and weakly waves.

(http://i.imgur.com/tbeiYDm.png) Barcus laughs and pats his sister on the back. Despite doing so without any real force behind it, she nearly barreled over before catching her balance. "And we're here to offer our services to your court. I smith, Luca scribes tomes. I have done some work for this village before so you could ask around if you need a referral. Old Man Henson probably remembers that time I shoe'd his horse, repaired his plow, and built his son one of the finest suits of armor this side of the Northguard. Kept his butt alive during that awful ambush business the last Sword Marshal blundered into a whiles back before the war took a turn down the wyvern's throat for you guys. Sister hasn't seen much work around these parts unless you know local magic-types. We've been wandering these lands for the past few years since leaving Azun, surviving on whatever we could make with some generous folks sharing use of their forge and such. But now we're looking to settle down somewhere. Set down roots and all that. We considered the Count but his lordship didn't even bother seeing us, and then we heard about you moving into this old place."

To Charles, it seemed the obvious choice would be to give the siblings a place to stay. He had more room, or would whenever the keep was repaired, then he needed and stood to gain a lot from the arrangement. But at the same time there had been many merchants who had come to his parents offering deals that seemed too good to be true. They often were, unfortunately for the merchants.

Vara nodded in acceptance of their condolences and then sighed.

As she started to walk away, she overheard the discussion of new weaponry. Deciding to take advantage of them heading outside, she quietly asked Charles,

(http://i.imgur.com/yfZV4nQ.png)"Excuse me, do you think I could tag along?"

Because when she was honest with herself, as much as she didn't want to talk about her brother right now, she also didn't really want to be alone.

Having gotten bored, Kristii had laid on top of the wall for a while, before yawning and peeking over the edge. Well, looks like he wasn't looking but his tomes were gone... still, she'd seen Mordecai stop into the castle...

Shrugging, Kristii swung over the lip of the wall and climbed down, making her way into the castle and seeking out Mordecai's tomes. Maybe she'd be able to feel something with one of them. Or something. She didn't know, but why not?

Vara looked over the items, lingering on the rapier but eventually sighed and shook her head. Deciding that maybe some alone time would actually be not bad right now, she decided to head out down to the village to explore and see if she could get away from some of the memories that were haunting her.
Title: Re: [FEF] [IC Thread] The Path to Liberty - Prologue
Post by: Glowcat on March 22, 2015, 11:05:11 pm
It didn't take long for Kristii to stumble upon Mord's makeshift library stack of books and the table where he kept a few tomes for reference before training the confused vampire girl.


Vara made her way down the hill and across the gentle river that winded along with the mountains that reached outwards from Thronepeak to the village whose name was inspired by that venerable mountain. While it was different than the villages she remembered back home, not possessing a church and farmland apparently being at a premium, the villagers struggling against the encroachment of the forest and its wildlife, the common people of Molvonia weren't that different in their day to day lives.

The crippled man from before was directing his sons and daughters towards clearing a trunk from what may soon become a new plot. A maiden was arguing with an older woman who looked related about wanting to start a family with a man the matron disapproved of. Many people didn't seem to have homes of their own, and instead lived together in communal huts with extended families just trying to get by. They seemed to have weathered some hard times from the look of their homes, and many grazing fields had few, if any, herd animals within their boundaries. Further to the east and north were the forests that defined northern Ibres. In Letia most of these were aggressively removed by the Church to make way for farmland necessary to feed its burgeoning populace.

(http://i.imgur.com/Y6TB7LD.gif)"I would very much appreciate it if you could sell them now, we should try to give everyone a second weapon and we don't have the funds for that currently."

Charles looked over the displayed items, drawn to the pike. He didn't know how much money they'd have having selling the loot, but he decided to buy it anyway. Baron priority or something like that. He noticed Vara sigh while he was browsing and, out of curiosity, followed her. Catching up to her along the way to the village.

Buy Pike.


(http://i.imgur.com/IPHoG55.gif)"It's strange, I almost feel more at home down here than I do up at the keep," Charles said suddenly as observed the villagers, talking more to himself than Vara. "It's difficult to get used to your first name ceasing to exist too, first it was Lord Heston and now it's Baron Heston, who knows what it'll be in the future." Charles caught himself and chuckled.

It's funny how you can travel far and yet still see someone arguing over wanting to get married. But I know what you mean. It's easy to feel at home here, even if realistically I know that I could never stay here. Not for any long period of time at least. Though, I'm sure it's different for you."

She paused and then grinned slightly.

(http://i.imgur.com/JYU8622.png)"I somehow doubt that you'd be able to completely get rid of your first name. For instance, I'm pretty sure that Kristii will continue to call you that wherever and whenever she wants."

Acacia was engrossed in searching through the weapons the merchant had on display and missed Vara and Charles leaving. When she finally looked up she realized that they had gone, and so made a mental note to ask Charles about funds later for buying equipment. Until then she decided to go see if she could find any of Charle's other retainers and settle herself in.

Lilie shrugs.

Lilie looked back up at Tirena, a small smile playing at her lips, a tint of sadness to her voice.

(http://s5.postimg.org/9nsw6itgz/Post_Timeskip_2l.png) "Sorry, I reacted a bit strongly there... I'm a bit confused at the moment, sorry. I should probably go somewhere else."

She hurries off to the spot she had chosen for practicing Dark Magic earlier. She'd intended on leaving it for tomorrow, but in the current situation she wanted something to demand her focus.

Kristii took out one of the training tomes she stole... one that just so happened to be the Dread tome.
Luckily enough, she has far less of a connection to magic than Lilie-- so though she nearly dropped the book, all she got was a pair of little cuts along two of the fingers of her right hand.
(http://i58.tinypic.com/j5jvc7.png):"GUH-- what the...?"
Swinging down from the wall, she went to go seek out Mordecai... and she didn't really care if he would be mad or not, since she'd delighted in skipping consequences all her life.

(http://i.imgur.com/yfZV4nQ.png)"No, no. It's fine. It's... it's nice to get out of my own head sometimes. I was just thinking about how different and yet similar this place is from... from my home. It's funny how you can travel far and yet still see someone arguing over wanting to get married. But I know what you mean. It's easy to feel at home here, even if realistically I know that I could never stay here. Not for any long period of time at least. Though, I'm sure it's different for you."

She paused and then grinned slightly.

(http://i.imgur.com/JYU8622.png)"I somehow doubt that you'd be able to completely get rid of your first name. For instance, I'm pretty sure that Kristii will continue to call you that wherever and whenever she wants."

Charles wondered why Vara went out of her way to avoid mentioning her home but decided not to press. She could simply be uncomfortable sharing information about herself, not everyone was as open as he was. Instead his mind focused on what Vara had said about marriage. Before, as the youngest child he'd have likely been married off to some Lady he didn't even know to help expand the Heston house. Now that he was in this position he had much more freedom about his life than he'd had before, he realized. He shook his head, he needed to stop going on thought parades when he wasn't alone.

(http://i.imgur.com/Y6TB7LD.gif)"Why couldn't you stay here," he asked. "Are you from the city and slow pace village life wouldn't suit you?"

(http://i.imgur.com/Dvil7Bc.gif)"Yeah, she does whatever she wants. I just hope it doesn't cause any trouble with some overly uptight noble down the line."

She forced herself not to shrink back, not sure which answer she wanted to hear. On the one hand, she hated those who had killed her brother and wanted revenge, but on the other hand she herself was Letian and she had friends... Friends who had helped them escaped, who were hopefully still alive. She knew she hated the man who had killed her brother, but not all of Letia. Not really.

Charles looked as though he was deep in thought for a few moments, his eyes shut and his arms crossed. When he opened his eyes he looked around, as if he was trying to make sure none of the villagers were nearby.

(http://i.imgur.com/Y6TB7LD.gif)"I..." he hung on the word, taking another glance around the village.  "Don't really have an opinion; that's all." He moved to walk away, back to the keep, as if the conversation was over but as he passed Vara he said, in a hushed tone: "Talk to me back at the keep.".

Vara frowned and then nodded. As she turned to walk back with him to the keep, she continued their conversation by asking,

(http://i.imgur.com/yfZV4nQ.png)"So what are your thoughts on the girl that joined up with us during battle? Lilie, right? She seems... interesting, what with her... slight problem?"

She didn't know how publicly the Baron wanted to announce that they had a half vampire working for them. Despite the fact that this country was significantly more welcoming of vampires than her country was, it still seemed like some people might be afraid of them.

Charles took a breath and sighed.

(http://i.imgur.com/IPHoG55.gif)"But as Mordecai said, she's just been turned, or whatever the term is, and doesn't have control over herself. I'd hate to turn her away and then end up having to hunt her down if she went out of control because I refused to give her a chance."

Once they arrived at the keep, Charles led Vara to one of the areas not yet under repair, surely much less suspicious than his personal quarters.

(http://i.imgur.com/Y6TB7LD.gif)"Continuing from before, I dont have an opinion on Letians. That is because I haven't met any nor will I likely ever unless it is on the battlefield.

Title: Re: [FEF] [IC Thread] The Path to Liberty - Prologue
Post by: Swordstar on March 24, 2015, 10:47:55 pm
Vara nodded, not sure what she could say. She wanted to tell Charles that not all Letians were bad, but... She sighed, not knowing how best to handle this.

(http://i.imgur.com/yfZV4nQ.png)"I... As I said. I cannot settle down due to... Letians killed my brother. We lived near the border, he used dark magic... I'm sure you can figure out the rest. All I want is revenge against the man who killed my brother but... I cannot believe that all Letians are bad. I'm sure there are many who are normal people, just like those in the village down there, only living somewhere else. I am glad to hear that you're not condemning all Letians."

She smiled at him, glad that she was able to get some of that off her chest.

That was something Charles hadn't expected to hear.

Concentrating harder, Lilie manages to will the tome to produce more smoke. It's still not much, but better than before.
It starts to fill the room, so she opens a window to let it out. Hopefully no one will notice... Or just think there's a fire being in one of the keep's towers to keep its lord warm.

While Tirena and Mordecai found themselves talking about the merits and flaws of apis mellifera against other stinging insects, a boy of a villager came running up the hills hollering. "It's another necromancer! It's waltzin' through the village and heavens' preserve us, it may be comin' to avenge Thorsnettle from some hellish cult!" The terrified youth pointed down towards the village path as a white-robed individual made their way across the bridge towards the keep.

And so Dalaach was seen crossing the bridge, moving without any hurry towards the keep with a thick tome tied to his waist with woven silk thread. He had been previously looking for someone to inquire as to whether the retributive party had already destroyed the Necromancer who had taken the Keep as his base, but a look at the scenario before him made the answer obvious.

(http://i.imgur.com/puzieXX.png) "Greetings." he said, intercepting the nearest available villager or worker who wasn't engaged in conversation or in hard labor. "May you tell me whether the retributive party has already succeed in its mission?"

Post by: Glowcat on March 26, 2015, 02:10:58 am
An aged old woman is one of the few villagers who haven't shut themselves in or otherwise giving Dalaach a wide berth.

"A what'sit now? If you're here to join the noble's army you sure got a funny way of dressing. AND you're late. Bob's been dead two nights back." While speaking she sized up Dalaach, her disapproving glare only worsening with what she saw. She spits to the side after finishing her analysis. "Rich folk these days have more money for expensive clothes than sense. Your get-up looks ridiculous." She kept a solid stink eye on Dalaach.

(http://i.imgur.com/puzieXX.png) "I thank you for the information, Ma'am." he replied neutrally before departing towards the Keep. He had, of course, arrived too late. Dalaach knew of the attack because there had been criers and a public convocation for willing fighters, but his timing had been off.

From that moment on he would have to seek the local noble's advisor and maybe talk to the noble himself in order to secure the opportunity to study the location.

And so he went, in order to find important-looking people (most likely PCs) at the Keep who weren't conversing.

She headed towards the village, stopping outside the doors. She could hear someone approaching. The like of screams, clattering skeletons or stinking zombies suggested someone who was not a necromancer. Still, she leant casually on her bow, and hand hovering near her quiver.

Upon being asked that question Dalaach took a moment to turn his head, apparently to glance at the village and its many hiding inhabitants, before returning his attention to Tirena.

(http://i.imgur.com/puzieXX.png) "I am unsure." he stated flatly. The elderly lady had been helpful. "I am Dalaach. Would you know who I should address in order to be allowed to study this location?"

The impasse of finding and recognizing the baron was still left to Dalaach, however.

Coughing due to the overpowering smoke, Lilie remembered the lockpicks she had spotted on the merchant's wagon. Training appeared to be heading no where, so after making sure to close the windows and collect all her things, she returned and bought them - just in case.

An ancient hold was reclaimed, but its troubles had only begun.

As dawn's twilight creeps its way across the valley there comes a force in the night with greed as its true master...



~~Chapter 1: House Warming Party~~



(http://i.imgur.com/1TmZGmF.png)




Builders were directed towards constructing workshops for the pair of Azunite merchants and the village seemed to calm down after the unexpected visitor's arrival. Night settles upon the village and gentle clouds form overhead. By appearances it promised to be a restful night, but mother nature is a deceptive harpy who only wants you dead.

The same youth as before came running into the keep, having been paid a fair wage by Klessen as a sentry for his hollering voice of which he was about to prove its value.

"Boss! BOOOSSSS! There's armed folks movin' a ways through the dark below an' they looked ta be headin' for the castle!"

(http://i.imgur.com/hEUiPFW.png) "I see. You've done well, and sooner than I thought. Wake the rest of the retainers while I find the Baron."


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

Elsewhere another runner delivered a similar message with a tad more composure...

"Boss! Scouts are back with a report. Looks like there's only a handful of soldiers in the keep right now."

(http://i.imgur.com/XroJubh.png) "Sounds like Red is still on his game. About this and the patrols. Ain't that a relief."

The elder man turned to a girl nearing the end of her teenage years.

(http://i.imgur.com/wWAwS3p.png) "Alright Dani, just like we went over back at camp. We'll let the recruits soften 'em up and create an opportunity for us to move in. Don't get yourself too deep though girl. Your mama would kill me if ya got hurt."
(http://i.imgur.com/AZWvdZq.png) "Yes papa. Do you think we'll be able to fight together alongside her and Ethan when we get there?"

(http://i.imgur.com/wWAwS3p.png) "Well that depends Dani. If there isn't much resistance down by the village they could probably swing by this a ways and we can enjoy some quality family time while banging some rich Molvonian snob's head around. And wouldn't that be swell?"

The girl smiles and loads her crossbow while her father pats her on the head.

(http://i.imgur.com/wWAwS3p.png) "That's my girl."

He turns to address his crew.

(http://i.imgur.com/XroJubh.png) "Okay boys, you know what to do. We're hitting the keep while my lovely wife leads the raid on the village's stores. Red is offering us a reward personally for those two hostages, a reward as handsome as I used to be." The joke got a few snorts of laughter and likewise light-hearted remarks to the contrary. "Fancy pants Baron we can keep for ransom ourselves too, so don't be offing anybody whose butt is worth a pretty penny back at Westshire. Besides the lordling that includes the... hrm.. who were they? Eh I'll remember when we get there. Everyone else ya have free reign to make sport of if ya fancy gutting some Molvonian dogs this morning."

To that there was a great deal of cheering and Garro's crew went into action.

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

(http://i.imgur.com/9yaULtP.png) "Hey Ma, there's some feller comin' up out of them woods. Ya think he's a lumberjack?"

(http://i.imgur.com/3wfs3D1.png) "Don't matter deary, the forward groups are about to head down there and cut that poor sap up anyhow. Be a good boy an' go down to the village with me to do some proper ransackin'."

She whacks him on the head with her broom and a scowl after her oaf of a son sits there wondering what it would be like to be a lumberjack.

"Yippidy boy."

(http://i.imgur.com/9yaULtP.png) "Yes mama..."

Acacia clutched the wound in her side where the spearman had hit her. Despite the pain, her face held a grin on it. While she had been in plenty of spars before, and won most of them for that matter, this was the first time Acacia had experienced a true life or death struggle. And it felt amazing.

It was hard to tell what happened under the rain; lighting distorted close the Bandit and a spray of blood flew into the air before the criminal collapsed in a bloody heap. With his target vanquished without fanfare, the robed man turned his head towards the bandits that had destroyed the houses, staring at them in silence.

(http://i.imgur.com/io31pKD.png) "Down boy, down!"

Acacia playfully batted at the brown wyvern with her free hand until he got off of her. She then crossed her arms and looked at him sternly.

(http://i.imgur.com/io31pKD.png) "What are you doing here? I thought I told you- excuse me, just a second."

Acacia swiftly turned around and stabbed the lancer that was sneaking up on her with her javelin, pushing her back so that she could continue her conversation.

(http://i.imgur.com/5q4s3nN.png) "I thought I told you to go home!?"

After taking Rhodon to fly to the keep, Acacia had left him in the forest with instructions to fly home. As mad as she was at her parents for getting the family into this mess, it seemed cruel to take one of the few things they had left from her late brother from them.

Rhodon tilted his head to the side as if bashful and replied with a undulating hiss as he bobbed his head up and down.

(http://i.imgur.com/MdKyhVn.png) "What do you mean you don't want to? The new house isn't as nice but we still-"

With a grunt, the wyvern nudged himself closer to look straight into her face.

(http://i.imgur.com/ylIlbib.png) "You're saying you want to stay with me? Are you sure about that?"

Rhodon gave a firm hiss and ruffled his scales as he continued to look at her.

(http://i.imgur.com/MdKyhVn.png) "...alright I guess. Acacia suddenly remembered where they were and turned her head to reassess the battlefield.

(http://i.imgur.com/5q4s3nN.png) "Well you better pull your weight! Come on, we have bandits to drive off!" Acacia shouted as she ran to the side of her old friend and quickly climbed onto his back from years of practice. She pointed her weapon at the enemy to urge him onwards, and Rhodon responded with a triumphant roar!

The second hunter shrugs "Would kill a Lettian soldier just the same as a Bretter. They'd do it to us too. That's how war is."

"And a soldier ain't gonna slaughter like these bandits did. They follow rules. Chivalry and such. At least our soldiers and the Lettians know that much. Filth from Bretland?" He spits on the ground. "Not a real army trying to feed itself. Just a bunch of criminals stuck together to make life hell for the rest of us.

Charles turned to the other man.

(http://i.imgur.com/IPHoG55.gif)"You'd like to think that, wouldn't you? That everyone follows the rules. Do you what actually happens? I've spoken with many soldiers from the previous wars and they've seen slaughter, rape and pillaging from the opposing army. Sound familiar? There have also been cases that I've sat in on where our own soldiers are charged for such war crimes."

(http://i.imgur.com/Y6TB7LD.gif)"You speak of chivalry but do you even know the code? Ahem: 'Thou shalt respect all weaknesses, and shalt constitute thyself the defender of them. Thou shalt love the country in which thou wast born. Thou shalt not recoil before thine enemy. Thou shalt never lie, and shalt remain faithful to thy pledged word. Thou shalt be generous, and give largesse to everyone. Thou shalt be everywhere and always the champion of the Right and the Good against Injustice and Evil'."

The hunter says nothing more on the matter of chivalry or the ideals of a just war. "So what. You'll just let her go? Or did you have a dungeon in mind?"

The lancer herself seems to be struggling just to stay conscious. The odd young woman riding the donkey who joined the battle makes a quick interjection, seeing the lancer begin to succumb to her wounds.

As much as Acacia longed to continue fighting, looking over the battlefield it seemed that the rest of the group had things well at hand at the moment. And now that she had Rhodon she was in a rather unique position to go see how the the other group was doing. For all she knew Charles might be overrun with bandits at this point...   ...though considering the impression she had from their spar she rather doubted that, Acacia noted with a wry smile.

(http://i.imgur.com/E73QdZw.png) "Y-you! Stay back or I'll end you." Danira eyed Acacia's wounds, considering whether she should do so now, and how strong Heston would be when she needed to take him down as well.

While the others went on to chase the fleeing girl, Kristii whistled a cheery tune as she did a task of her own: taking all the knick-knacks and gold pouches she had roughly taken off of bandit bodies during the course of the battle, she actually took them all up off of the ground and arranged them to her body and robes-- now when she walked the clinking, clanking, and jingling of all of her loot could be heard, grinning at the knight and swordswoman near her.

Charles followed Danira's eyes as she eyed up Acacia. She'd said to stay back so he did, only moving sideways into Danira's shot at Acacia.

Seeing Mordecai start to make his way towards their position from the south, Danira began to tense and looked about ready to fire at Acacia if the situation continued for a second or two more.

Acacia knew what it was like to lose family, and felt a pang of sympathy for the girl crying in front of her.

She slowly walked forward, gently pushing Charles out of the way. She kneeled in front of Danira with a slight wince from her own wounds and took off her helmet.

An armed party of horsemen and a single wyvern rider appeared from the southern road bearing heraldry banners with a Fallen Tree insignia against a brown and green background.

Vara arrived at that moment... and even though Vara stepped in front of her, Kristii didn't like the odds with that biiig crossbow. So, just as Vara began demanding the lowering of the Count's weapon, Kristii gleefully leaped over the railing of the bridge and into the water below, intending to swim away, punctuating the end of the purple-haired swordswoman's sentence with a splash.

While Charles was having his snark-off, Acacia stayed silent in the background. He seemed to be handling things well enough, and there was no telling what the old bastard would think of somebody like her...

She had other things on her mind anyways. What she had almost said to Danira, about blaming Red for sending her here... were Acacia's parent's really wrong about what they had said? It still didn't feel like it excused how cowardly they had been in her mind but...

Come to think of it, Danira's statements had reminded her of an old story from her childhood. Something about a traveling information broker and assassins? Eh, it probably wasn't important. That had happened ages ago right? And she had always thought that at least some of the stories of her great-grandmother had to have been exaggerated.

Read Family Tome.

Lilie skims the large text and collection of drawings of the family and its history. Particularly Garro and Sylvia "Sly"'s days when there were younger... and Sylvia had another family. Before then they were like most Brettian "bandits", extracting tolls on those passing their parts of the forest, but when the last war broke out their lands were seized by Molvonian forces and Sylvia's family were burned alive inside of their homestead. Garro was the only one there for her and they started a new family... as well as their reign of terror.

Most of the tome after that tells of their exploits in territory that was annexed. Defeating Molvonian soldiers, burning down their supply trains, and, of course, robbing their wealthy blind. Her first son was a part of that as well, and after success went off to start a family of his own when Ethan became somewhat competent at their work. Eventually the pair were able to find (and pay for) a magus who helped Sly extend her fertility and they had Danira, who was the last of their brood.

There's also a list of kinfolk, close and distant, as well as a list of friends and contacts in Westshire.

Charles grit his teeth as Zhardif left.  He didn't say anything more though, just glared at him until he was out of sight.

Enjald stood nearby, listening to the talk of the noblemen, which seemed to him as normal noblemen posturing, teeth baring and barking.

Enjald thought that if the incoming horseman would be switched with one of Enjald's uncles' dogs, there would be no difference, really.

After the entourage was gone and the white-haired man was alone, Enjald picked his nose, then coughed into his fist and looked up at lord protector and owner of this little valley, apparently.

(http://i.imgur.com/HGLEBqa.png) "So, uh, Mister Lord Carlos, can I have some food or maybe a bed? I'm hungry, and tired, and being caught in combat first day in the morning is not something I like to do on empty stomach. Not that I am complaining. But hey, bandits, kinda my kind of job to help get rid of them." Enjald thought for a moment.

(http://i.imgur.com/JK5mgc3.png) "Oh, and, I'm Enjald. Pleasure to meet you, Sir Carlos." Having no knowledge in lordish etiquette, Enjald tried his hardest to be polite and respectful.

(http://s5.postimg.org/k4mf5s4oj/Vamp_Neutrall.png) "Are Vampires inherently evil? Usually evil? That fear comes from somewhere so where? The only ones I've met are you and myself, are there others? How many? Where are they? What are they like? How did they get there? Where do we come from, is vampirism a curse, blessing, mutation or something else? What is our culture? What are our traditions? What are our beliefs? Do we have a god? Do we have a religion?

I've become something different to what I used to be and I don't know anything about who I am. I've only heard bedtime stories and a few things from my father."

(http://s19.postimage.org/4wmknupvj/mordecai_surprised.png): "Please take a deep breath."

(http://s19.postimage.org/5sj23azjz/mordecai_default.png): "Now then, in order: Vampires have an inherent connection to dark magic as a result of the ritual, so whether we are inherently evil depends on your view of dark magic. I believe that most of the fear comes from the aforementioned connection as well as misconceptions stemming from how different we are (lack of aging, red eyes, sun sickness, so on), misconceptions which are most common among the least educated, who then make up the majority of the population. There are indeed many other vampires, whole clans of them called 'Venarii'. They live a nomadic lifestyle and are marginalized by most of human society. Some vampires such as myself leave the clans, but they are a minority. Vampires have been around for as long as humans have had a written language; only the eldest claim to know anything about our exact origins and even they might not have the correct story. I would consider vampirism simply a new state of being, and neither blessing nor curse. The Venarii clans are extremely insular and tight-knit - as I said they are shunned by most of humanity and many turn to crime to make ends meet. Leaving the clan is..."

(http://s19.postimage.org/cx0vcc6tb/mordecai_ce.png): "...discouraged."

(http://s19.postimage.org/5sj23azjz/mordecai_default.png): "Anyway. Vampires tend to follow the local religions, mainly the Celestial Order. Some clans might privately worship demonic entities, but they tend to face enough problems without risking the wrath of the Inquisition and so keep it low-key." Mordecai paused. "I hope this has answered some of your questions.

Lilie breathes deeply even though it isn't really necessary, and resumes her questioning of Morde. His brain looked like it needed a workout, anyway. She didn't really know too much about the topics, but she was fairly intelligent and her father had taught her a lot as she grew up. Mostly words. He had said that a large vocabulary let people think better, though she wasn't sure how true that really was.

(http://s5.postimg.org/k4mf5s4oj/Vamp_Neutrall.png) "Likewise in order: Does dark magic inherently cause people to display characteristics commonly attributed to evil, such as greed? I wouldn't call your requirement of drinking blood as a 'misconception', although it's something I am thankfully personally free of. For now, at least, as I hope I don't develop... Cravings. I think I asked you this before, but is drinking human blood necessary, or can it come from animals? Is there a notable difference in its appeal? The Venarii? I think I remember my father mentioning them, though he didn't say anything about them being vampires, unless my memory is still faulty. I guess I can see the sense in a nomadic lifestyle. Do vampires grow more powerful as they age? If our origin is unknown, has anyone tried to look into it? You, perhaps? If it's a new state of being, why is it dependent on others to continue to exist? Vampirism seems parasitic in nature being so dependent on others, have you thought about the implications of that? I think there's plenty of humans who also worship demonic entities so that isn't too much of a black mark against us."

As she moved towards the end of her questions, her expression shifted slightly.

(http://s5.postimg.org/iwiujor03/Dismayedl.png) "Discourged...?" She wasn't sure she was going to like the answer to this. "How? And as someone born outside of the clans... What does that mean for me?

(http://s19.postimage.org/hsw8faq2n/mordecai_grin.png): "Well, you're feeling inquisitive today." The vampire hunted through his memory until he had at least some of the answers Lilie sought.

(http://s19.postimage.org/5sj23azjz/mordecai_default.png): "I would say no. In my experience it is the other way around: someone seeking power or wealth would be more likely to turn to dark magic as a way of pursuing what they want. It is true that vampires need to drink blood, but the exact nature of our thirst is poorly understood among non-vampires. Claims that we only drink the blood of virgin women, for example. Or young children. In truth, blood is blood: any blood, even that of animals, is usually enough to satisfy our cravings. As vampires age they, of course, have more time to learn and perfect their skills, but they typically begin to have a hard time relating to other people and many eventually go mad. And yes, I have tried to look into the origins of vampires. The problem is that there are so many myths and legends offering sometimes-contradictory accounts that it is difficult to separate fact from fiction. And vampires are no more parasitic than the humans who kill and eat other animals, and who even raise herds of them for the express purpose of slaughter."

(http://s19.postimage.org/cx0vcc6tb/mordecai_ce.png): "...A vampire that chooses to leave the clans is called a 'gulat'. It means 'one who has committed suicide', and very few Venarii will associate with one such as myself. Unless, that is, I begin creating more vampires. Such an act is forbidden for gulat, and they and their sires become targets for destruction. Which leaves you in a rather awkward position until and unless we can discover the identity of the one who made you a vampire."

When Lilie and Kristii arrive at the merchants' part of the keep, Barcus is pounding away at a makeshift forge while the workshops are still under construction while Luca appears to be dealing with the creepy magic user in a white robe.

When he sees them approach he quenches the blade he'd been working on and takes a moment to wipe the sweat from his brow before addressing the pair.

Mordecai sighed as Lilie walked away. This was not a great situation for her, especially since he knew of no way to determine a vampire's sire via magic. He resolved to give the matter some study once he was back in his library. In the meantime, he decided to check out the selection of tomes for sale. The lack of an Ancient tome was...distressing.

Dalaach was perusing the tomes, touching his mask with his gauntleted thumb as one would do when scratching their chin, and did not seem to acknowledge when Kristii's clothing troubles were brought up, though after the merchant said they have no clothes available, he stopped considering purchases and turned his attention to her.

(http://i.imgur.com/puzieXX.png) "I have extra sets of robes." he said, motioning towards his own travel attire. Fancy-looking or not, it seemed resilient due to the mix of leather and heavy cloth. "I am willing to part with one of them."

As this attack has shown, we are in stark need of replenishing our garrison, especially if you are going off to war. And decide what kind of force we should build in focus, quality, and strength. This will of course cost money... which leads me to the next matter: taxes. Currently the taxation rate is fair but we could attempt to increase it more, if that is your wish. We could also give the people some respite and lower it for the next season. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, but in our current situation I believe increasing taxes may be the more suited course of action."

Charles paused to ponder the taxes question. He didn't really want to increase them right away, before the villagers even really liked him, but it was painfully obvious they needed more money if they- him, his retainers. the villagers- were going to be safe. He'd just lower it next season, when things were hopefully more stable. Besides, they'd probably understand paying more for protection after today, right?

(http://i.imgur.com/IPHoG55.gif)"You're right. Currently we need money to secure our safety, and theirs as well. And it's as you said, we'll need to hire mercenaries for when we're not here. At least for now anyway."

Taking her new blade, Vara went inside the castle, found an isolated hall, and started doing training drills she'd learned back at the Academy. She was out of form, and had been for a while, she knew. She couldn't let all of her skill show, or else people would start to question why a simple mercenary seemed to know so much. But for now, she worked on training. She needed to be able to keep up after all.

The quiet girl reaches for the tome as Mordecai hands it to her with his request and sets it nearby to study its inscriptions briefly before preparing a cauldron with ingredients lined across her wagon's various locked cabinets. She sets the broth alight and returns to the tome itself with a fresh stack of arcane parchments made from something brittle enough to be ephemeral in their raw state. Taking out an inkwell filled with a concoction using the ichor of deadly insects, Luca begins writing fresh pages for Mordecai's tome while chanting in a strange Azunite spell-tongue. The cauldron boils softly as she methodically scratches the new words of power into the pages, clasping each in a delicate grasping instrument before dipping them into the cauldron and setting the page aside for the next. She performs this task page after page as clockwork... until several dozens of pages later she has finished assembling the stack and binds them into the tome after removing those charges already spent. 

Luca repairs Mordecai's Swarm for 156 gold pieces.

Everything he needed taken care of Charles decided to head into the keep.
