Iceclaw posted:Yup, at that point, we are wandering into full jrpg villain territory. Complete with incompetent guards. Soon Julianna and the priestess are going to bust our doors open with a warrior type and a dashing rogue. Will Elodie change into some kind of angel like being during the fight?

   I don't know. How are we supposed to fight them? How can we defend ourselves against magic? That... is why the King or Queen of Nova has traditionally been a Lumen. To fight magic with magic. So... I have to... No. You are too young, and that power destroys everything it touches. Then what am I supposed to do if they attack me? I will not let anyone harm you as long as I live. And... what if you... like Mom...For long moments, he remains silent. Then, at last: The heir to the duchy of Caloris is traditionally sworn to the greatest of secrecy on certain matters. However, you are my only daughter, and you are worth more than any oath. There are treasures that have been collected by my family, enchanted artifacts of power, locked away and never to be used. They are hidden because they are dangerous, just as Lumen magic is dangerous. Even more so, because many of their workings have been lost over the years. I would rather such things were forgotten entirely. The world is a better place without them. I had hoped that without your mother's crystal, the perils which are magic's inevitable cost would not seek you out. (Magic's inevitable cost... If I became a Lumen, what would happen to me?) But you are right. You have too many enemies with their own magics, and I may not always be able to protect you. I will search among the records for any artifact which can protect the user against a Lumen's power.  Because Elodie is pressured right now, she has a penalty to her conversation skills. And since lore is already at 50, we are going to go with the third place option, composure.     I regret to inform you that Fabian, the Earl of Titan and Duke-Regent of Elath, has passed away.This isn't really a surprise; he was pretty old. The problem is the political implications. With the control of Elath in doubt, it falls to the crown to make decisions. Young Lord Adair will not reach his fifteenth birthday for over two years. He requires a regent. His stepmother, Arisse, the Duchess of Lillah, has petitioned that the boy be left in her care. This would, however, leave her in personal control of two neighboring duchies, which is generally forbidden. (Almost the entire eastern border.) (I don't know anything really bad about her, though...)But Elodie version 1.0 sure did. The boy does have a living grandfather, the Earl of Ishtar. Or you might appoint an unrelated noble to act in his stead. The Earl of Ishtar has suggested another possibility. You and Adair are both young, not too far apart in age. He requests that we accept the boy as your future husband and keep him here at the castle. So, we are back to this choice again. Where should we send Adair this time? What should we do with the court musician? Vote for 4 classes.

We Accept Her as a Court Musician. And since things went so great when we sent him to his grandfather last time, let's send him off to our uncle. We can't get married yet, we don't want to give up our freedom by getting tied down to a man. Also boys are icky and have cooties.

Marry him. Mostly to get him to court. Plus, he's young enough to be malleable in the ways of the Theconocracy! Send the musician away. Musicians cost money and Econoprincess is all for it flowing in the other direction. And do we really want a strange musician who we know nothing about in court when we've royally ticked off a bunch of witches? Because we have a 2.x bonus on Faith, 2 Lores will get us to over 90 in that. 3 Lores would be ridiculous overkill at this point, and a waste of that bonus. Assuming I've leveled my math skill enough.... Meditation to get that past 25. Lore x2 to get that over 90. Divination to get that up more.

I've cleared the game a few dozen times and I know there's at least one subplot I've never touched (even though I have all the achievements and stuff), but it sounds kinda dull and the skill requirements are weird so I've never bothered.

Marry Adair, have you guys forgotten that Elath is a rich territory? If we want to be the embodiment of money we should take advantage. And hey, he's close enough to Elodie's age that there probably won't be a coup afterward. We don't need a musician. Meditation x1, Lore x3

For classes, Meditation to get it above 25, then Divination and Lore once each, and lastly since we don't have Resist Magic, maybe we should train Reflexes some.Mikl posted:Also obligatory tuxedo vote Also this, which by the way you should definitely parse as voting for the obligatory tuxedo.

Pittsburgh Lambic posted:Force Adair into a marriage. It's what I said to do last time anyway. As an added bonus, we now know that Elath has a poo poo-ton of wealth to steal, and the Tuxedo Princess totally can't resist that. As Pittsburgh Lambic wisely pointed out earlier in the thread ^, Elath has a lot of weatlth. As Econo-Faith Princess, we should seize this opportunity to marry someone who is young, impressionable, and due to inherit lots of money. Let's Marry Adair. As for the classes, being able to level up Divination is finally within our grasp! Meditation x 1, then Divination x 3. No longer will a misreading the Merry Crown lead us to our untimely demise!

Marry the rich kid, Hire the musician, Meditation to raise the cap, Production and Trade because Econoprincess, and to finish those skills up, and Poison to protect us from our enemies, And wear the tuxedo. I think it is likely too late to raise Logistics to the levels required for us to pass the "sell a falling star" check, or whatever passing that Trade+Logistics check does, so we might as well figure out what terrible omen we'll get from it instead.

Marry him and make him pay for the tuxedo he's going to have to wear. It will be a white tuxedo with a built-in collar and leash, and when you reach the altar, you'll just lean over, grab hold of that sucker, and yank him in. He'll have to pay for the rings too. And the reception. And everything else until his duchy is a smoldering, bankrupt ruin. Long live the queen, motherfuckers. Also, holy hell is our lovely dad about to give us access to Caloris's top-secret stash of ancient anti-magic weapons and armor? I take back everything I've said about him. It's time to be faithful to him. Really, really, really faithful. Pittsburgh Lambic fucked around with this message at 02:34 on Mar 28, 2014 |
