Full list of Things we know at this point in time


New things we’ve just learnt

Skills posted:


Swords

40: You practise moving with a blade – sidestepping, charging and lunging.

50: You practise using your blade to disarm opponents or shove them backwards.

60: You spar with a partner, trading blows while looking for opportunities to tag each other.

Archery

10: You learn how to twist and wax bowstring from a variety of fibers.

20: You learn to cut, fletch and tie arrows.

30: You learn about different styles and sizes of bows – long, short and recurve.

40: You learn about caring for your bow – how to store it between uses, string and unstring, and check for damage or wear. You also learn that you should never “fire” a bow without an arrow on the string.

Polearms

10: You learn about a variety of long weapons, from the quarterstaff to the spear to the halberd and glaive.

20: You practise walking while carrying a long weapon, getting the feel for its size and weight and learning to maneuver without banging it into anything unintentionally.

30: You learn the basic stances, grips and positions for staff fighting, and how to block a blow without crushing your fingers.

Resist Magic

60: You learn how to quickly flare magical shields around you to deflect an incoming attack. This uses much less energy than a constant shield, but it requires good timing to be effective.

70: You learn how to maintain a low-level deflection shield, so that magical attacks not directly targeted at you will slide harmlessly aside. This doesn’t need much power, so you can keep it up for long periods of time.

80: You learn how to directly counter offensive magic with your own power, so that you can “burn out” a spell that someone else has cast. This is very dangerous if the other spell is too powerful!

Internal Affairs

What you learned after Lord Adair was assassinated in Week 26: The Earl of Ishtar's first wife and oldest daughter also died under mysterious circumstances.)

What you learned from a failed Foreign Intelligence check in Week 26: The Earl of Ishtar’s other daughter married young and died giving birth to Adair. With Adair dead, the only family the Earl of Ishtar has left is his second wife and their son Connor , who's fifteen.

What we currently know about Elath and Lord Adair

What you learned from internal affairs (70): Several generations back, the rulers of Elath and Sedna in neighbouring Talasse married. The citizens of Elath objected to this foreign influence, and the resulting heir died in suspicious circumstances, after which the title was passed to a distant branch of the family rather than another child of the Elath-Sedna union.

What you learned from King-Dowager Joslyn aka Elodie’s father: After Fabian (Earl of Titan and Duke-Regent of Elath) passes away, the heir is young Lord Adair, who will not reach his fifteenth birthday for over two years. His step-mother is Arisse the Duchess of Lillah. The Duchies of Lillah and Elath are neighbouring territories.

What you learned from a failed Novan History check in Week 22: Lillah and Elath comprise almost the entire eastern border of the Kingdom of Nova.

What you learned from a partially successful Internal Affairs check in Week 22: Duchess Arisse’s previous husband was supposed to be a nasty piece of work. He may even have attacked Adair’s mother before her untimely death. He’s gone now, of course, but she (Duchess Arisse) is still the sort of woman who married a monster.

What you learned from King-Dowager Joslyn aka Elodie’s father: Lord Adair has a living grandfather, the Earl of Ishtar.

What you learned after Lord Adair was assassinated in Week 26: The Earl of Ishtar's first wife and oldest daughter also died under mysterious circumstances.)

What you learned from a failed Foreign Intelligence check in Week 26: The Earl of Ishtar’s other daughter married young and died giving birth to Adair. With Adair dead, the only family the Earl of Ishtar has left is his second wife and their son Connor , who's fifteen.

Blame the victim. Dumbass should have studied more swords/espionage/poison.

Except he's dead and the skillcheck failed so nobody.

Don't blame. He's probably not the killer and maybe we'll get a chance down the line to do something about it.

Don't blame him. If it was an inside job, then it probably would have happened by way of an unfortunate hunting accident, rather than assassins.

Don't Blame, look at our intelligence report. If we kill off the grandfather, that one woman will control a shitton of our kingdom! We can't let her amass that much power, she'll be a threat. Just... just stop sending people over to that one Earl's place. Lock the door or some poo poo.

Execute him. It's probably more merciful than sticking him in a dank dungeon.

Off with his head! Knowing this game, he'd somehow escape from prison with bullshit magic powers and come murder us if we don't kill him first. I'm still leery about the chain-fingers guy from earlier.

Imprison Him, exactly what I was hoping would be an option. This way, if turns out it wasn't him, he can be released.

Let's imprison him in one cell, and his head in the other. :getin:

Don't kill him. I can only imagine that by striking down an old, frail man, you'll only make him even more powerful than you could ever imagine.

"Lana look," Rusev pointed out to the screen, "Pinkie Pie just scared Twilight Sparkle shitless! I love America and shit they put on TV!"
If we're going this route we may as well really go this route and execute him.

I don't think the Duchess of Lillah will really appreciate us cutting off her husband's head, even if he does deserve it. Wait, checked the list of what we know - she was married to Adair's father, not his grandfather. Still, we have just lost another noble, so imprison him rather than lopping off yet another's head.

You're misreading it. It means corpses made BY the princess, not of her.

I still don't think he did it. :colbert: So I guess that means imprisoning him is the more merciful option. Uh, by the way, did we ever get around to fixing that huge gaping hole left in the prison walls after the demon guy escaped?

We don't know for sure he did it, and we can't bring him back from the dead, unless we're really good at Lumening.

Open up your senses
The world is cruel

Execute this fool so you can show up this whole city
This is your only choice
We who keep you, teach you, feed you, dress you
Them who look upon you with fear
How can you be safe, girl, unless you
Slay him here
Away wit him
Remember what we taught you, Elodie
