Open up your senses
Even if I know we should praise the gods
We should not forget to honor the dead
And so the poems will be read
Without a hint of people from the cloth

((Kinda obvious my vote))

I don't want anyone to forget her.

That... that's very thoughtful of you.

For a moment, he blinks repeatedly and does not speak.

Joslyn does have emotions! Who knew?

There is a letter for you as well.

(It's from Briony! I went to school with her, but she's a couple years older than me. Her mother is the Duchess of Mead. She's complaining that her mother still won't let her come home for the holidays.)

(Apparently her uncle Kevan has been acting strangely lately and shouting at shadows. Her parents are fighting and she thinks they might split up.)

(She's bored and looking for an adventure. Well, I don't have any to suggest to her!)











This festival occurs the same as last time, until...





The newly planted tree in front of you quivers, and then, out of nowhere, a spurt of water comes up from the ground, spattering you and the assembled crowd with droplets. Just as quickly as it began, it vanishes. The priestesses try to calm the crowds with talk of omens and natural eruptions, but they can't halt the whispers: dark magic. That water tasted of salt.



That night, the guards report that Julianna, the former Duchess of Ursul, has mysteriously vanished from her cell. Everyone is suspected, but no one seems to know what happened.



You now have an enemy on the loose.









Now that we have a magical enemy on the loose, should we reconsider our priorities?

Vote for:

1) 2 classes

2) What mood would be best for Elodie? Should she become angry to get weapon training, or should she remain yielding?

As a side note, take a listen to the Explore Castle track. It is my favorite "short" track in the game (less than 15 seconds). It only got 8 listens last week (2 of them mine). It was the reason I did that weekend activity in the first place.

Study Instrument (Expression is the only Social skill group we haven't trained) and Foreign Intelligence (more Intrigue is always better).

Stay yielding (there's no bonus to those classes but there's no malus either, and Angry has a malus to Expression).

Trade and Meditation.

The Lumen shall Yield to the power of money!

I still think we ought to take at least a week's worth of Logistics to pass that falling star check, but I suppose our Divination might be high enough for it not to come up.

Let's Stay Yielding and become the ultimate Econo-Faith Princess! We can control the masses through money and through religion.

Trade and Meditation for the classes. Let's get that Divination up to max, and maybe we'll be able to see enough of what's coming to survive to our coronation. (Probably not.)

That was one lovely omen. Train meditation and lore so we can train more Divination and see more lovely omens. Once our divination skill is high enough, every cow in the kingdom will begin farting out an endless stream of bloody, half-liquefied cow fetuses. The entire kingdom will overflow with explosive bovine miscarriages, drowning Julianna wherever she may be hiding. We'll literally kill her using lovely omens. That's how Divination skill works, right?

because anger leads to suffering, and a bonus weapon skills, that we might as well neglect at this point, too late to become good enough at them to ever matter.

The Logistics+Trade check occurs first, so we won't get a chance to use Divination on the falling star unless we fail that check, not the other way around. That said, the L+T check is not like some A+B checks where it checks the sum, but more like the Court Manners + Intrigue check we failed last time because despite having 160 Intrigue we only had 10 Court Manners - so if we do want to pass that one, we'll definitely want to raise Logistics as well as Trade.

I'll go with 2x Composure first, then angry. but...

It is still a long way off, but I have to ask, is the general plan to go to the party, get shot and use our battlefield medicine to heal ourselves? Because our archery and reflexes are not good. Unless that choice of what to use our agents for will help us.
We could just not go, but dammit, we need to mingle and forge business connections. Also, cake.

This is what I was hoping for, plus the health care event I didn't realize we already, but I guess we'll be skipping the party or dying again.
