Knights of Tezoth

What I warned about has happened. The main danger of Ikazkan is not the mobs, but the environment. Returning home has saved us more than once. Without supplies, which you don't know how to gather (corpses don't count), you won't get far anyway. Besides, further on there are surely sections with rubble ahead. You have no one to clear those either. Adalard prepared for the expedition poorly, very poorly.

Ah, I should have herded all of you into Ikazkan under some pretext.

Under the pretext of Sith/Karneia, players will run there on their own.

We should have made a cataclysm like that at the mirror. "All Knights are teleported to a random location in Ikazkan."

It's the Revaniel Mirror, so that would have made less sense... Though it would have been amusing to see which of the Knights would survive.

Just a reminder, we're playing a very friendly expedition)))

Well then, some kind of Ikazkanium technology for teleportation. Or an ability for Cartridge to eliminate inconvenient figures...

Yashchur, you asked earlier what the point of the expedition was 👆

In Ikazkan there's a spell for teleportation. Some of our characters knew it.

Now this applies to Stefania too (actually, ever since she got depression, and then a hefty bonus on top)

I think I'm starting to understand why last time only Cartridge and Kaen were left from the "expedition"... Well, and Erebus with Mugon too, I think...
Though I still don't understand how they got past the guardian of that very thing...
And I've already figured out the point of the expedition... Probably... Now the question is what to do with all of this...

You think they also ate the other expeditioners?

I'm sure. Two lords, a sorcerer, and a "tormented scholar" — "valuable assets." The rest were just some trash... Why not eat them?

If it turns out that a "professional bodyguard" cannot protect himself from an assassin, then my "template" will completely fall apart...

-- I see too many conditions here, and that's not even counting the threats. For that reason alone, we cannot agree... -- Ambrose, taking the document, jabbed the point of his dagger at the lines "by the court of Lord Albus," "no fewer than five," "shall enter into marriage" -- But this would already be a fourth front, and that is quite untimely for us right now. Let us try to find a compromise here, and if not -- then let it be worse for them.

...

"The Knights of Canamia send greetings to Lord Ferlutz

On behalf of us all, we are glad that you have preserved within yourself a thirst for justice and a noble resolve to stand up for it.

However, the conditions you have put forward for preserving that which is eternal and self-evident cannot help but surprise us.

We are grieved to note that you have doubts that the first point requires any reminder of itself. We assure you that a proper investigation has already begun and will be pursued to its full success.

In light of the multitude of our enemies, we find the second point just, but we are compelled to strike out the amendment regarding "no fewer than five" so that our other loyal vassals are not unjustly deprived.

Financial aid will be directed to you as necessary for military expenditures during the conflict; upon its conclusion, we take upon ourselves the procedure of restoring the region in financial, administrative, and organizational aspects in full measure.

Regarding the third point, we are compelled to remind you that such proposals, by every law and custom, are appropriate either from equal to equal, or from superior to inferior, but not the other way around.

Two of our knights have already suffered for Albus's sake. Our commitment to our duties as suzerain, which consist of the fairness of the court, protection from enemies, and avenging wrongs done to our vassals, is unconditional.

Just as unconditional must be your fulfillment of your duties as a vassal.

In the name of the memory of your father and the future of your region, humble your pride.

Better to gain less than desired than to lose what one already has.

Understanding the grief that has befallen you and your just thirst for vengeance, we forgive you your careless words.

But we likewise assure you that any form of betrayal will not be forgiven. "

The Knights, having drafted the reply, await the opinions of Axel and Lester on what to add and what to cut.

Going back means returning to camp with just the two of us and the madman, sacrificing the rest of the team. Then recruiting new ones and heading back, immediately sacrificing half of them...
Going forward is 50/50, as they say. Either you make it, or you don't...
