Notto agrees with the lodge suggestion, before noting the one's shivering.
Why are you shivering, fellow?

Kyle gets up and takes off his coat.

Because trying to stuff Fate/Whatever's engrish and the title of a 17th century book on statecraft into Pokemon syntax tends to make the content incomprehensible.

Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.
As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

((Gotta say, this RTD really is showing me how much I don't know about European history. :P
I'm actually not quite sure if the way I had planned to proceed with this is that interesting as a gameplay mechanic to begin with, despite the plot concept. I'll have to put this on hold for a bit, if that's okay, while I reconsider some stuff.))

((This was reminding me of X-COM from the start. Actually... come to think of it, I kinda want an X-COM game based in the 1700's now. :v))

((Really? I just assumed it would be X-Com from the first post, with the primitive X-Com being impossibly outmatched. I signed up to die. Which, really, explains my choice of joining as a leader of cavalry charges.))

((To be honest, I think cavalry charges would have been one of our best bets... if the enemy doesn't bring armored units... Line infantry is not made to deal with situations like these, and Artillery is as valuable as it is a big "LASER ME PLEASE" sign. We'd need a doctrine more based on mobility, and better explosives, and maybe some actual anti-air/air to air. Really, it's vital to figure out how many armored/airborne troops the enemy fields, their overall power... also, the factor of surprise. This would be the first time they meet some actual resistance...))

(Actually, the real question is "What will we do when they start bombing our pitiful ground troops into oblivion?")
