Knights of Tezoth

Gingkink moves 3 up in hopes that someone will show respect to the short-legged knight and kindly come closer. Or for inspiration...

But he has 4 SP. Aren't you taking the fourth step?

Breaking the artifact sword would have been a big loss for Albus, but it didn't work out, alas)

Either way, the Lizard would have taken pity and fixed it.

Now we should get rid of the crowbar guy. He's nasty. Especially after the insults toward our lovely stripper.

It was Aves who insulted her, not the prince.

What do you mean four? The initiative says 3.

Sensing her imminent end, Rezara decides to show the lady from Albus a couple of tricks from Swordgard.

Rezara uses shattering.

Breaking the artifact sword would have been a great loss for Albus, but it didn't work out, alas)

Either way, the Plague would have taken pity and fixed it.

Now we need to get rid of the crowbar-wielder. He's disgusting. Especially after the insults directed at our lovely stripper.

It was Aves who insulted her, not the prince.

Right. Well, they're both jerks anyway.

What did the prince do to you...

This time Ambrose merely sees a page with a drawing of a raven blocking out the sun. Further reading of this book may well affect his worldview...

-- Fate sends me signs of what is to come, but their essence eludes me. Here my wisdom does not suffice, and I shall have to seek counsel without.
After the skirmish with the northerners, which the Knight, despite the defeat, was very pleased with -- the main thing is to have a grand time and topple as many opponents as possible oneself, rather than necessarily be the last one standing -- Ambrose will try to find the Knight of Wisdom and ask her advice.

Anella Blood, though busy studying the mirror entrusted to her by Axel, nevertheless managed to spare a few minutes of her time for the young warrior. Upon learning the details, she invited him to simulate a duel, during which she allowed herself to examine the contents of the mysterious book.

- The text itself is of absolutely no interest whatsoever. - She concluded, finishing her analysis. - These are not spell words, and certainly not curse formulas, but merely someone's verses and thoughts on given topics. It seems that one of the followers of the Raven of Dawn placed special enchantments upon it, affecting the laws of the universe at the level of this single item - that is precisely why its peculiar, seemingly absurd, requirements work in the real world. Nevertheless, I sense no threat from the book, though the contents of its pages may well have an effect on the reader's worldview.

-- Thank you for the time you have given. Truly they say your wisdom scarcely yields to your elegant beauty. The only mystery remaining to me is: what is the inner essence of those beliefs professed by the raven acolytes? Of all of them, I am acquainted only with the priestess who came to this hall from Duskwing, and if the other faiths of Tezoth are understandable and simple, like their adherents, then the temperament, ideas, and rule of life of the priests of that otherworldly entity will not yield to the logic of men who know not the Universal Octaves.

- There are none. The followers of this deity are distinguished from other people only by self-identification, while the origins of the priests remain hidden behind a veil of darkness to this very day. Who knows, perhaps they are nothing more than earthly avatars of this entity?

-- And so, this is an impenetrable abyss, a whirlpool of danger and secrets; only he who dares take the step will learn what lies hidden in the depths... -- Ambrose thoughtfully scratched his stubble, pondering whether this leaned closer to bravery or foolishness. -- And what of the priests, how great is their power usually over the flock heeding their call? Might we not find here the answer as to whether they are truly close to the otherworldly shadow, or whether it is merely a blend of customs and esoteric knowledge?

What did the prince do to you...

He throws nails at pegasi and people. Ill-mannered.

The carriage is coming.

And arrows are somehow better...
