Knights of Tezoth

— So be it, I will visit them after the merchant. In that case, my lord Carvalett, our western and southern borders are in your hands, as well as diplomacy in case of my absence. A man of your mindset and energy will, in this field, grasp things a thousand times more advantageously than I could ever conceive. Through joint efforts, we must earn Florentzan's trust and uncover the motives of the current Sordgard.

— My lord Ober, the safety of our academies and the northern horizon rests on you. Your knowledge of every settlement, quarter, and alley will help expose and anticipate the potential threat of espionage and sabotage. It is important for me to avoid panic and secure the support of all residents of the region, regardless of their station. Such things will make no difference to our enemies.

— My lady Marina, your assistance in the center and the north will also be indispensable. The common folk are more inclined to morale when they can see the confidence of their rulers in supporting the common cause. Besides that, I want to ask you to take care of Her Benevolence. The gods know, we are currently lacking her inspiring wisdom... I will also assign my personal people to her guard.

— My lady Zenia, I entrust you with the formation of defensive squads and the distribution of those resources that our weapons factories can produce. I do not know how short the path of neutrality will be, but dragging Olivus into the fabric of the coming slaughter without preparation is an option devoid of any sense.

Glancing around the non-round table, Alcira nods approvingly:

— Does anyone have any other additions? I... I believe this hidden thought has visited every valiant knight present here... I too yearn more than anything to punish the agents of chaos. However, without direct evidence and tangible military support, the crimes of our enemies must for now remain unpunished. But karma, if it exists, has long since marked their entire vile kingdom of filth with a black mark. Let us not tarnish the trust of our Magnanimous Lady.

do the neighbors already know what happened here?

— Hi, Carmina, — Stefania smiled. — Same as everyone else: wandering through the underground, slowly getting freaked out by what's happening, wondering who lives here and how soon we'll end up on their dinner table. On the other hand, so much room for ideas!

The Knight of the Hearth knew all about Wind's passion for writing, and from the expression on her companion's face, she could easily guess that she was mulling over ideas for some story. Though the question is, if they don't get out, who's going to read it?

— Ah, screw it, — the girl, who had briefly drifted into her own thoughts, waved it off. — So, how are you doing?

– Hello, Adata. How are you? – Rezara initiated the conversation.

Sky, are you ultimately heading to Florenzan?

Confused even the GM himself 😎
Aksel is flying towards Olivus but turns toward Florenzan right before the border.

Possessing such a formidable wyvern, Aksel manages to reach the capital of Florenzan before the local meeting concludes. The Knight of the Gloomy Sky is permitted to appear before Lord Gitgood Flaveresens and all his knights.

Aksel kicks the door open slowly enters the room. His face bears the usual sullen expression with a slight squint, as he carefully surveys those gathered, stopping his gaze on the lord.

-- Greetings, Lord Gitgood, - the knight made a slight bow and introduced himself. - Aksel Von Himmel, Knight of the Gloomy Sky. As you may easily guess, I am here on behalf of Her Majesty, Deus Mariarnelia, Queen of Tezoth. Your Queen. I believe you and your people have already heard rumors of the catastrophe that occurred and the subsequent events. At a time when our warriors are forced to defend the subjects from the calamities that began after the destruction of Albus, Knight Lyon Vermgreis raised a rebellion against the crown and directed Estellia's troops toward the capital. Moreover, nine knights of Estellia are dead, and Lord Asalia has not been seen since the catastrophe. I assume this situation seems highly suspicious not only to me?

Is it just me, or did super-evolution used to last only one turn?

Does it also have full battlefield range?

Hmm...

In general, with super evolution in its current form, there is a very broken combo that allows a mage to keep one such ally in that state 24/7, via a simple script of cast -> olive -> cast. If immunity to everything includes damage, then it turns into a kind of immortal terminator. And so on until the enemy breaks through to the spellcaster and removes them somehow, which can be very difficult. Assuming, of course, that the spellcaster doesn't then put that immunity on themselves when the enemy gets close, and then sit under it themselves. I'm not sure if it was intended that way or not, but it's better to warn in advance so adjustments can be made before the Heroist assembles their units.

Axel is flying towards Olivus, but turns into Florentzan right before the border.

Possessing such a formidable wyvern, Axel manages to reach the capital of Florentzan before the meeting there concludes. The Knight of the Gloomy Sky is permitted to appear before Lord Gitgood Flaveresens and all his knights.

Axel kicks the door open slowly enters the room. His face bears the usual grim expression with a slight squint, as he carefully surveys those gathered, stopping his gaze on the lord.

-- Greetings, Lord Gitgood, - the knight gave a slight bow and introduced himself. - Axel Von Himmel, Knight of the Gloomy Sky. As you may easily guess, I am here on behalf of Her Majesty, Deus Mariarnelia, Queen of Tezoth. Your Queen. I believe you and your people have already heard rumors of the catastrophe that occurred and the subsequent events. At a time when our warriors are forced to protect subjects from the calamities that began after the destruction of Albus, Knight Lyon Vermgreis raised a rebellion against the crown and directed the armies of Estellia towards the capital. Moreover, nine knights of Estellia are dead, and Lord Asalia has not been seen since the catastrophe. I assume this situation seems extremely suspicious not only to me?

- I am glad to welcome the Knight of the Gloomy Sky, servant of our great Deus, into the halls of the heart of grand Florentzan! Yes, of course, golden words! - Gitgood nodded understandingly. - This is a great tragedy requiring careful weighing of the situation and an adequate response from all involved, for the benefit of all Tezoth and every one of its inhabitants! For this reason, all necessary diplomatic measures and humanitarian campaigns have already been undertaken on our part. Rest assured, my lord Axel, Florentzan will not turn its back on the citizens of Tezoth in this difficult hour, regardless of their origin, and will provide all necessary assistance to every sufferer.

The Knight of the Haze knew well about Wind's passion for writing, and from the expression on her companion's face, she could easily guess that she was mulling over ideas for another story. Though the question is, if they don't get out, who will read it?

— Ah, forget it, — the girl, who had briefly drifted into her thoughts, waved it off. — So, how are you?

- Hmm, hmm-m-m... That one-eyed cutie once mentioned that in Ikazkan, lava rivers flow right through the middle of the city; I'd like to see them with at least one eye, and I think they could inspire you to write something like that too. I'm fine, I've already accepted that either we'll conquer the underworld, or it won't leave us alive.

"An accessory for intimidation — right there, attached to the bandage. And I've seen swords like that in some book. You can't really find them around here, but they worked well over there. Compare this," — Vargas tapped his own armor and nodded at the armor in the image. — "And that. They don't have much ore there, and it's poor quality, so they improvise. It's barely enough to shield against a glancing blow or a spent arrow, otherwise they're lightly equipped. They fight in a single strike, staring each other down for ages. I doubt it's all that effective — take a handful of peasants, arm them with firearms, and that whole leather-and-wood army would fall. In our time, you have to reinvent the rules of war to stay on top. But it's a fine piece, no argument," — he paused briefly, looking at the cross-shaped marks on the pauldron — could those be kill tallies?
Then he resolutely headed inside.
