One day, while searching the woods for a sparrow to crack with your pocket of stones, you come across a small cave at the base of a mossy hill. It smells like wet stone inside but as you venture deeper, you get whiffs of an odor like the one that hangs over the village cemetery on dry summer days. It is then you see it. There is a man sitting against the cave wall, his legs outstretched. Sleeping, you think. The light from the mouth of cave is not enough to make out his face and hailing him does not rouse him from his slumber. You inch closer. A rusty gauntlet glints from his hand, resting just above his knees. You reach out to shake his shoulder and small mouse jumps out from his head and runs into the darkness making you yelp and jump back. You can make out now a white skull, picked clean of all flesh, and masses of cobwebs in the hollows. A cruel black arrow sticks out from the man's belly. He is most certainly not sleeping.In the other hand, you see a leather scabbard clutched close to the chest. It is with a great effort that you wrench it from the chewed fingers. It is covered in dust and smells vaguely of rat droppings, but the blade inside, when you draw it out, is as sharp and shiny as the day it was forged. You've never seen anything so fine.>What do you do?[ ] Show the blade to your father, it'll surely fetch a fair price at the market, and your family will be glad for the coin.[ ] Hide the blade inside your tunic and present it to the old watchman, Delaney Halfhand.

Old Maple Hill. That’s what they call it, mostly because that’s what you called it, and even then only because it is centered around... Well, a small hill, with an old maple tree, and you were a child, and you never thought it would be the center of an entire community. Funny how things change. Your name is Ezreal Mious Van Houtzmann. ‘Mious’ means ‘wisdom’ in the language of your mother's people, the Sylvan Elves of Dappulyet, whom you may never see or visit again; you can only hope she got your last letter, before you fled your homeland in the pursuit of world peace and personal freedom (it’s a long story). “Van Houztmann” is your human father’s surname... Well, sort of. He was born merely ‘Rudolfo Houtzman’, and seems to have added the ‘van’ and the extra ‘n’ as some form of dramatic flourish. You adopted it much later. It means ‘of the strong men’. Despite all your hereditary strength and wisdom, however, sometimes you feel like a leaf on the wind—a summoned wind, a night-wind, generated by the beating of great wings beating in the unseen dark. Under your stewardship—and that of Izirina and Costella Fanucci, the women whom you love—Old Maple Hill became first a sort of sanctuary and rehabilitation center for those humans of Hawksong—the world’s preeminent metropolis—who had been afflicted by the chimeric plague better known as ‘the dragon-pox'. As a reward for your good works, your trio was granted the hill itself and the land around it was gifted to you in trust, to preserve and protect in the name of the fairy court upon that eponymous hill. After a year-and-a-half abroad—first in homeland and then upon the sacred moon itself!—you returned with divine knowledge of the holy arcane, to share with those grateful and newly-sorcerous subjects of Hawksong who had decided to remain there. Partly this was out of pride, and out of solidarity with Izzy and Costella, and partly due to a sense of responsibility for what you had wrought. More and more, though, you wonder if you really had any say at all... Almost four months ago, you undertook a diplomatic expedition to the Sylvan Realms to rescue the monstrous son of Hawksong’s prince Cosnort—secretly some form of ‘aragonborn antipaladin’ in service to the Gods of Darkness. You hadn’t done this out of any love for those horrid entities, or even the Prince Consort or her majesty Queen Ekaterine, but because you believed it the best way to keep the peace between your peoples. You’d succeeded, but at a great cost.

The tides of history have called upon the line of Marik once more to remove an imposter from our country’s throne.

The Eternal Empire has stood for 14 millennia and has endured hundreds of wars, calamities, and rulers of every type.

>>5994385>>5994393Either way, this doubles-down on my vote for having them produce Matador-pattern ships. They're the ships I feel most comfortable selling to civilians and merchants, while later sercing the important role of expeditionary forces and armed logistics in our own military.
>>5994393How old is Otto at this point? I'm thinking it's getting around the time for him to abdicate, not anything particularly destabilizing going on that requires him to remain.
>>5994475Emperor Otto is 85, pushing 86, and Empress Jeanne is 58. Ferdinand is 36 and nearing the completion of his work, Leopold is 34 and busy guiding House Uvar, Grayson II is 32 and still involved with the Landstaat, Alphonse II is 30 and has already reached the rank of admiral, Theo is 29 and studying, Konstantin is 27 and an upper mid-ranking general in the Imperial Army, Konrad is 22 and progressing his mastery of sculpture moving on from clay to marble, and Arnette is 19 and her absolutist views haven't changed over time, rather, she's written extensive documents in its favour under several pen names. They've been less than influential, even among House Heinrich, but she has high hopes and her prose improves by the year.

Hey all just a heads up, so I got a place to stay temporarily but the problem remains now that I don't have a computer. I am able to reply like this, but can't really write the kinds of updates typical of the quest so far, to be able to keep it going. Going to have to work extra to earn what it'll take to replace everything I lost, but even then it could take awhile to get some sort of computer replacement.

You are Mouse, the ogre. Although raised by humans you found yourself in service of the dark elven queen - and with her blessing you have embarked on a quest to purge the corruption plaguing the very world you live in.You are not alone. Your mission is shared by an eclectic band of companions:-Phineous, the sophisticated orc of culture.-Smutkin, the formerly depraved bard who took your mission for his own-Sparky, the formerly warped imp that was, by touch of holy power, transformed into something else-Tithe, the diminutive yet vigilant gargoyle-Chloe, the shadow of the queen sent to safeguard you and your mission.Your band has since grown with additions no less colorful:-Elle, the royal courier who has since sworn herself to your quest-Harriet and Janet, the twin scouts you've rescued from the mercenaries-Diana and Minerva, twin golems you've freed from their questionable service to the old order-Her majesty queen Olga Discordia, the dark elf ruler turned exile after the Beast possessed her minions into mutiny-Mercenary princess, Maia, seeking to confront the man she loved-And quite literally in spirit, a fragment(?) of the goddess Laurentia you had wrestled from the clutches of darkness (and in doing so, likely forced the enemy's hand to the desperation he was showing...)Comment too long.

I have not been idle. Laurentia shares at one point, entering into the steady rhythm of your footfalls and echo of Smutkin's tunes, but without disrupting either and with her voice an undercurrent of resolve joins the eerie symphony. From all that we've talked about, through what you allowed me to see through your eyes, to all I've been able to discern on your nature. You get the impression she's not talking of your nature as an ogre. But then, what?I'm getting to that. Although there's not much I can tell. Your existence seems aberrant to the world. Or at least portion of it that makes you what you are, and what allows you to keep your rapport with your companions.Well some of that is what you've been asking yourself occasionally, but still no answers or explanation.And there won't be any, at least for now. Laurentia says. You are the limits of my sight. And I infer that it is the same for the Beast, and part of the reason why he is afraid of you, or perhaps that spark you shelter and carry. The goddess falls silent. This is not nearly the first time someone had defied him. He can grant immense power to those who embrace his offers, but as is my experience, simple refusal does not foil him. You have met people who did refuse, and without your intervention, their fates may have been grim.You look around you, the cluster of luminous figures advancing in front, behind and to either side of you.Yes, your companions, and more. My vessel, my daughter... There's another brief wistful pause. I do not yet feel or understand what exactly it is that makes the difference here. But I've come to feel that there IS a difference that can be made. And... I feel that I've been touched by it, as have your friends. I feel it allowed me to go on when I shouldn't - didn't expected to have.You grimace internally, reminded of how she seemed ready to lay down her.. existence? ...to not endanger your mission.Comment too long.

>>5989808>Disengaging to carefully analyze and react to the Assassin’s attack
>>5989829>See the mana in the ground or something?Good observation>>5989909Will get to writing
A Noble Phantasm with its True Name invoked is a serious threat even if the enemy is on their last legs. You halt your advance and decide to direct your effort into discerning the method of your enemy’s attack. But how can you do that? It sank into the ground.Then it occurs to you: you’d let your Mana-Sight ability lapse in the course of the fight, but you ought to be able to detect the traces of magical energy of the Noble Phantasm after it sank into ground by reactivating Mana-Sight.As you do so, you find that after the Phantom Maiden sank, its constituent magical energy left a wake that you could follow with your eyes. Turning as you track its path, you can tell that it’s size has somehow expanded and that it’s about to emerge behind Avenger.Catching her hand, you pull your Servant down the tunnel, gaining a little distance from both Aka no Assassin and her Phantom Maiden, which swiftly rose from the ground with its spiked doors opened wipe to snap up Avenger.“Uwah!?” She yelps, startled at first by your sudden pull, and then by the fact that you again moved to protect her from the enemy’s Noble Phantasm when she glanced back to see it. However, you’re not out of the woods yet, since now the bulky torture-device is sliding along the ground after you both with its doors opened wide.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xez4Gf1r60UAll of a sudden, something resonates in you, a feeling all along your spine. Your grip on your mace tightens as you stop, pushing Avenger past you before you turn around and face the enemy’s Noble Phantasm head on. You’ve had enough of this. Enough retreating, evading, or cowering in the face of the enemy. The Phantom Maiden is a weapon of cruelty, and it’s time you break its attack with a weapon of war! “Counting on your support!” You order your Servant tersely, as time is short before the Phantom Maiden is upon you, and she immediately reestablishes her Fortification spell onto you without any bluster or fanfare.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Well, not entirely. Your strike blunts the Phantom Maiden’s momentum, but it begins surging forward again. No matter, you’ll simply hammer it back every time it tries to advance. Its doors snap open and shut trying to ensnare you, but your reach is long enough to stay out of its maw as you repeatedly bash the enemy’s Noble Phantasm with your mace. With each clash, you understand the Phantom Maiden’s true nature a little better. You’d already deduced that it was a weapon of cruelty, and you further come to realize that it’s designed specifically to be used against women. As a man, you’re suited for fighting against it on a conceptual level.Even so, Aka no Assassin isn’t making it easy for you as your arms grow weary from the stalemate. But the Phantom Maiden suddenly dematerializes, and through the dim light you can see the vampire called ‘Delta’ running away through the tunnel as one of the lions that Avenger summoned begins attacking the other two, and the Assassin herself reverts to spirit-form in an attempt to flee. You’re able to make out a shifting shape of her with your Mana Sight though.“Did that vampire somehow make one of my familiars defect? The insolence.” Avenger says in a venomous tone in her analysis, before blasting the traitor-familiar with a beam of raw magical energy, killing it immediately. The other two lions are panting or licking their wounds, and your enemy continues to flee down the tunnel.“The Assassin shifted into spirit-form, would we be able to damage her if we pursue?” You ask your Servant, unsure of how you’d continue fighting an immaterial enemy that’s trying to escape from you.“Entering spirit-form generally makes attacking a Servant trickier than usual, but I know of ways to do it.” She answers. Looking at her two remaining lions, she asks you, “Would you like me to heal them and prepare a countermeasure against them turning traitor? It had something to do with the vampire injecting its blood into them, so I could cast a spell that makes their veins eject foreign substances like vampire-blood. Alternatively we could save time and pursue immediately.”You’ll go with:> Heal the lions and prepare them to continue fighting as needed> Time is short, you’ll pursue right away> She can dismiss the lions, but you’d like her to cast such a spell onto you so that in the off-chance you get bitten it won’t be too much of a problem> Something else (write-in)Comment too long.
