Outside elements? Wasps regularly get indoors naturally...

In reply to Narrator (msg # 759):

Ok,  as far as Saishi is concerned, he has done nothing wrong. He is not familiar with western concepts of chivalry. You have implied he is in trouble,  but nothing stated overtly. Is he in trouble for supporting Sir James the best he could or not? If his loyalty is to be rewarded with punishment, let's role play it, or don't. We can argue obtuse legality all year, but I don't think anyone is particularly interested in that.

Re: Against the Baron

In reply to Saishi Jin (msg # 760):

The Baron-elect is simply a little displeased, but has established clearly the "No summoned things inside the walls of the city" Ruling, which, from his point of view, would also include the summoned warrior that his man had to fight, which is why formal contests of chivalry always establish a pedigree...

Moving on, The old Baron packs up some of his household, with much discussion with the new Baron as to the deposition of Baroness Lorraine, whom it is decided must be deprived of her alchemical and herbal simples, until such time as the babe is born, after which she may be sent to the nunnery of Saint Ursula.

The treasury, it seems, was stripped in payments to the slayers of some great beast, but James rewards you just the same, with a pound of silver* to be divided amongst you, a tax exemption for three years for the village, and a sealed letter for your Omo.

*250 silver coins, worth a total of $5000

Everyone also gets 6 CP and some reputation in Veroigne - you each get a 5pt level of Hero.

Saishi thanks him for his hospitality, and asks that the villages be given some reprieve to allow them to recover.

Re: Against the Baron

OOC: Myself, Saishi, Kichiro, Ales, who else would get a share?  Was there someone who's been very quiet lately?

I'd like to spend 2 CP increasing Riding from 10 to 11, and 3 increasing Energy Reserve (Magical) from 6 to 7, letting the remainder add to my existing 1 unspent to make 2.

Also, is there anyone in Brouse who can recharge my Power Item (5 points spent from that source, would have been much worse if not for a couple critical rolls on castings)?

For the reputation, I calculate that as "Large Class of People" (citizens of Veroigne) and "Recognized all the time" (at least in Chou-Zhen's case), which would be 12 CP equivalent?  Or is the class smaller and/or recognition less frequent?

Re: Against the Baron

Ah, I don't have that book/PDF and that trait doesn't show in GCS, but 5 points it is.

Power item recharge still $25/FP?

Re: Against the Baron

Kichiro accepted his reward with gratitude.

Thank you for this generous compensation, Baron James.  It is much appreciated.", he said.


Kichiro decided to hang around town for the next couple of days in case his assistance is required by the new Baron.  While he is waiting, he gets with Chou-Zhen Mou to see when he wants to return to Northport to report back to Lord Sakemoko.

Re: Against the Baron

That seems correct, Saishi.  I think we lost Chye Isuel and Iskander.

Kichiro, we need to return to the rice village first, we need to repair the road (a day's work or less for just the road, a couple days with Ming Sa's assistance if I remove the wall sections in the paddies as well).

Re: Against the Baron

"Good idea. Those ramparts make traffic around the village inconvenient but the walls in the paddies also take away possible crop production.", Kichiro said in agreement.

"The elders will be pleased to hear the news of Baron James replacing Pequenauad and the tax reprieve."

Re: Against the Baron

"I would suggest finding a campsite well off the road.  I'm sure that any men who are still loyal to Pequenaud will still be looking for a fight after what we did.", Kichiro said.

He disappeared into the brush on the side of the road to find a camp site that is hidden and defensible.

"True enough.
