You have always wanted to be an emperor. That ambition has burned dimly in the past, tempered by reality. Now the opportunity to realise your ambition has arrived and you are determined not to let it slip. Now is the time to build your empire and become an emperor.

Last Thread: You are the knight, Talon York, and you are an emperor, but not the emperor… yet. Last thread you let your squire have a (hopefully happy) night of passion while you intimidated some merchants. Now you’re preparing for the archery tournament.

1. Next thread is on the 18th at 6:30pm EDT. I’m pushing the start time back a half-hour as I rarely make the current one.
2. This thread will run for about 9-10 hours if player interest is maintained. There will be an hour break around 10pm EDT however.

Rolls are d20 and the best of the first three posters. I may sometimes ask for more dice to be rolled by each player, but same rules apply otherwise. Please quote the post you are voting for or rolling against. Note there are hard-to-replace points that can be used to offset failures in rolls. Please see the General Pastebin, linked through the Master Bin above, for more info and detailed dice rules.

“So, ready to give me some grand-kids, Finn?” you ask your squire, clapping a hand on his shoulder from behind.

Finn squawks in response, jumping and spinning to face you. He opens and closes his mouth like a fish several times before just giving you the biggest grin you’ve ever seen him wear.

Then he says, “So, um, could I get some lessons in that stuff? It was great but, uh, I felt like I should be doing more. Rayza said I’d have a few months before I’d need to ‘perform’ for her…”

You hesitate for a moment before saying, “We’ll see. Just concentrate on the memories for now.”

You’re not really sure how you could give Finn lessons. The main thing he would need is experience and giving him that would potentially be awkward. It might be best to just see how women acted towards him from now on – he might not even need the helping hand in that particular arena. You were going to have to chase up whether he was taking the contraceptive brew, however. You didn’t know how sexual maturity worked in elves but the ability to have a fun night usually meant you could produce the unwanted results.

“Any particular reason you’re not with Hartman? I thought you got along well with them,” you ask.

Finn shrugs. “I haven’t really kept up with them these last two months. I mean, they’re concentrating on their new order and I’m more worried about being your squire. I think Hartman wanted to talk to you, though.”

You frown at that – you hadn’t thought about the possibility of bringing Finn into your fold alienating him from his old comrades. He didn’t seem too broken up about it, though that was a given what he’d gotten just last night.

“I’ll speak to Hartman after the initial event,” you say, catching Fenix approaching your private stand with his guards in tow.

You hesitate before walking off, wondering how to encourage Finn in his archery here.

>1. “Just have fun.” He pressured himself yesterday, no need to do so today.
>2. “Show them your special skills.” You know he’s been practicing that multi-shot technique he failed to do when you first met him – if he can pull it off this is the best time to do it.
>3. “Remember – confidence and skill, not tricks, will do you best.” Finn’s got the raw skill and talent – if he just shoots normally he’ll do great.

>>33392857
Eh, the problem is more that it's not super active and I'm not sure how well I'd do hard diplomacy right now. The Fenix scene will be important so I don't want to fuck it up. If I cut out before it happens I can plan it out, open a new thread with some light archery and then jump into the heavy stuff.

>3.

“Remember – confidence and skill, not tricks, will do you best,” you say, patting Finn on the shoulder. He gives you a serious nod then returns to his strange form of concentration. You get the feeling that something more than just sex happened between him and Rayza last night.

Well, it can only be for the better. If she set him some goal before their next visit then he’d have even more drive than usual. A terrifying thought. At least she didn’t seem to be trying to actively steal him away though did wonder what could be in a few months.

You give Hartman a wave, and he gives you a salute, as you pass. Then you’re inside the stands with Fenix, yours and his guards outside. It’s just you and this diabolical monster, masquerading as a jovial king, for a nice long chat about politics. He’s set out a map on the table, numerous markings indicating items of interest.

What catches your eye isn’t the fact that the map is solely of the Royal Seraphi Kingdom, excluding even nearby Magi League territories. No, it’s the fact that the RSK is clearly divided into four separate regions along no discernable lines. Old King Fenix seems to see the RSK as four separate regions – the most startling is the northern front with League.

Could it be the RSK is just as fragile as the League? Or is Fenix preparing something else to offer to you? His face is unreadable as you approach him but as serious as it was when he offered you the position of Magister General.

>That’s the thread.

Sorry for those who stuck it out for a longer session. Interest has died a bit and I don’t have it in me to do a diplomacy scene after an entire day of writing.

Next thread is on the 18th at 6:30pm EDT.

I’ll be around for questions and banter as usual.

Also, wow, I got next to nothing done this session. The only plot point I got out of the way was the negotiation with Compagnon. I'm going to have to pull my finger out for the next two threads.

For those wondering, the next major fight scene will likely be the fight between Rayza and Lynn. It's planned for the thread after next. Next thread will mostly be diplomacy.
>>
>>33393321

Things got a little weird today, don't know what it was but I wasn't quite feeling it. Nothing against your writing, just felt off, can't speak for others though. Maybe contributed to the dragging around and not getting much done thing.

That and the Dram Fail, that probably cut out a lot of the content you were going to give us.

Well, that's an interesting hook for next time
>>
>>33393369
I think it was mainly the Merchant scene that caused it to feel slow for me. We pressed on but we won't really see how it ends till a bit later. So that large chunk kind of sits there with no real conclusion until later. Then the thread goes little light hearted then cuts off right at the RSK diplomacy one of the most important scenes in the tourney.

Hey Aspirational, random question. I feel like it was answered at some point but I can't remember or find the details.

Why was the "worship" of the Angels abolished? And did the Angels disappear before or after that?

The archangels didn't like it. It was implied that the regular angels did, however.

Before.

Not very. With the amount of women he's involved with he's somewhat used to being interrupted. Karise just does it more often but at least it involves work more often than not (though that's arguably less pleasant than the other visits).

>>33393671
She's a very major side-quest - you'll likely meet Saareg as part of it. Personally, I'm just surprised nobody's guessed yet (well, somebody may have but I've just forgotten).
>>
>>33393689
I keep getting strange feelings that Samuel is somehow pretty involved with Talon.

It's amazing I like this guy before we even met him. Kind of just want to see him and high level Talon rip and tear as a tag team.

How so? There's no direct relation between her and Talon in terms of time or anything else.

Samael, btw.

>>33393731
Introducing Saareg when it happens will be fun, for several reasons. I just need circumstances to be appropriate.

Also, on a surely unrelated note, it's almost Lynn's birthday.
>>
>>33393689

This is just a random question due to curiosity. If Taira got a full on direct force hit on Saareg how much damage would it do to him?

>>33393791
>How so? There's no direct relation between her and Talon in terms of time or anything else.

I just keep getting a feeling the archangels are somehow involved in something about him that's pretty important. Not sure why though.

Also since Samael is grill. Will Talon be able to waifu her?

If it caught him by surprise? It would hurt like a bitch and normally cripple him - except Iron Body would keep him going.

If he saw it coming he'd just shrug it off. It's a spiritual technique so he can just knock it away with channeled astral power. There's not much that can directly harm him.

I also finally created Saareg's character sheet in full, though I may consider toning it down a bit.

>Also since Samael is grill. Will Talon be able to waifu her?
I've openly admitted to using Alicesoft games as a guide so it's possible. Much the same can be said of most women in the quest.

Welp. After this session, I will now ship Talon x Sarrn, if only just to make Karise happy.

Doesn't help that he is Finn with FlufflyTails. Or rather, it does.

That entire scene was just great in general. Lewd fox is lewd. Though I sometimes wonder about what our guards and servants have to be thinking half the time this shit happens.

Are you referring to Karise or Sarrn with that? Sarrn did choose to marry Karise over all of his other suiters basically because she was the most attractive and experienced. Karise is Karise, though - she wasn't supposed to come across quite like this but that's what happened.

>Though I sometimes wonder about what our guards and servants have to be thinking half the time this shit happens.
They're probably used to it. Some of them are probably secretly making notes on songs belittling the rich and famous. Or writing books about Talon's (real and imagined) conquests.
>>
>>33395462
>Karise or Sarrn with that?

Both.

>Or writing books about Talon's (real and imagined) conquests

Bloody hell. I just know there is MalXTalon Yaoi somewhere now. 10 pesos Neir reads it out loud sometimes just to fuck with Mal.

>>33395275
>he is Finn with FlufflyTails

I honestly get the feeling with what little we've seen of him he is closer to someone who acts like Finn but is secretly a massive troll.
>>
>>33395462
>Karise

It was an interesting development, and quite nice. Even though there have been FTBs and Sala is promiscuous, I think that was the lewdest moment in the quest. Also cute, somehow.

It saddens me that Talon is so straight. You make your gay audience sad, Aspirational~

Though all this talk before about the archangels makes me wonder why Raphael seems to mostly stick to Gauron. If he can teleport anywhere I would imagine he could just bail to the other. Unless he has a reason for wanting to defend it so bad.

No. He cheats, just like Geralt. And if he ever did catch one earlier in his life, it just got healed absently.

>>33395698
Taira confirms that the angels in general had little interest in Pharos over the last thousand years. The few times they did visit it was very brief. Her pet theory is that there is something different about the landmass of Gauron compared to that of Pharos. You're also certain that she knows more and is just hiding it, in the same way she doesn't talk too deeply about the foxes.

Either way, there is definitely something about Gauron that is tying the angels there. Or perhaps just something that drives them away from other landmasses.
>>
>>33395763
One of these days Talon should ask Taira how things where back during Kushans time and the great fae march. Just to see if she heard anything about this back then.
