Sorry about the delay for the turns guys. I've been really busy the last couple days. I'm getting pretty close to done with the turn so it should be up tomorrow or the next day.

Bump of remembrance... just realized it's just been a day, never mind

Turn 2: Results

Finally done! Lot of stuff happened this turn, so it took a lot longer than I thought it would.
NOTE: Anything marked with an asterisk (*) on your character sheet is something that changed from last turn.
Also, I gave out a few tips last turn. I won't be doing that any more. If you need any tips, let me know. That's what questions are for.

Spoiler: Taricus (click to show/hide)

→ Your detailed autopsy reveals that the man appears to have suffered agonizingly awful pain before he died. The knife you found in his leg appears to have been laced with an unknown poison. People hear your public statement, and you include that the Krexus wouldn’t rely on posion, but still many disagree. People are still frightened by the idea of a madman or a demon. Your announcement increases public fear slightly, but most people seem convinced.

→ You nab a few barta dealers. You don’t learn anything from them, but you do learn that the drug is a euphoric hallucinogen used by the natives to find inner peace. It’s great for recreation too. You acquire some of the substance itself, but you’re not sure how people actually take it in. It’s a clear gel like substance.

→ You begin constructing a network of informants. This will take another week to construct and it will cost 10 Dunts per week to sustain as well as an initial investment of 25 Dunts. You learn that Dendel Metrik is not even a part of the merchant’s guild. He just owns their stands and merchandise. He himself is not a merchant. Just a very wealthy man who owns a few businesses.

→ Answers: The church of light is the second largest religion in New Ledlin. It believes in one monotheistic god or “light” and they are often critical of the dominant polytheistic faith, which you, the king, and Dendel all practice. The Krexus is a legendary monster that would freeze time in a crowded place, and torture you for what would be days. When, you are moments from death, it would unfreeze time and the people around you would see the few agonizing moments you had left. It supposedly only targets sinners though.

→ A few of your guards are killed in a small riot that occurs along the city walls. A holy man questioned the punishment of a twelve year old boy who had stolen some bread. The boy was beaten and his hand was severed from his wrist as the law dictates. This holy man was the leader of a smaller church in town. The Church of Silence.

→ You are visited by the King (SalsaCookies). The two of you can begin communication.

→ (Oh shit another event!) One of your Lieutenants in the town guards is found crucified in the street outside of a brothel. The word “Krexus” carved into his chest. At his feet lay two of his men, and two young whores. Fear again begins to rise in the people of New Ledlin. The mess is cleaned up and the bodies are brought to you.

→ You speech is much better now that you no longer fear being stoned publicly. You target your speech at the mob, and they seem to respond well. Many still seem hesitant. You do have armed guards protecting you. People do seem to be hearing your anti-government sentiment though. Many seem to be quite against the government. You attract many listeners throughout the day. + Awareness

→ You search around for a good place to try an make your headquarters. You go in and begin talking to the owner about his rather unpleasant situation. You preach to him the injustice he’s been shown by society, and you offer to help him. But when you give a desperate poor person an inch, they take a mile. He shuts down his inn/tavern and begins renting it out to you for 10 Dunts per week. David recommends you take this deal. You likely won’t find anything much better. You also invest another 30 Dunts to help clean the place up and convert it to your headquarters. David suggests you also hire some more staff as well. You hire interns basically to do the hard work for you and David, while you two worry about image, and message. Staff will cost 5 Dunts per week. + The Rusted Cauldron (headquarters) + Staff

→ You begin building a network of informants. This will cost 10 Dunts per week to sustain as well as an initial investment of 25 Dunts. You network will be completed next turn.

→ David informs you that politics cost money as you may have noticed, and the best way to get the money you need is donations. Primarily from the wealthy. He advises that you see if you can get some nobles to back you. Together you compile a list of nobles who you think would be happy to see New Dunland become independent. It takes a week to compile a list of safe targets though. Especially without your informants working yet.

→ You find a book in the mages college that talks a lot about Kad’s magic, and you think it could help you discover the location of Kad’s other books. You begin reading it and discover that the book of blood has been kept under lock and key by the kings orders for nearly 150 years.

→ You build a workshop and hire a blacksmith. -100 Dunts It begins to gather some business and is currently earning you 15 Dunts per turn. This will increase as the quality of the wares increases. Researching better armor or finding more skilled blacksmiths could help you with this.

→ David is compelled to begin mixing herbs and chemicals together in his home. “The Sweet Kiss of Fear” He keeps thinking. He becomes very confused however, and fails to make anything. He manages to create something rather acidic, but nothing that could cause paralysis. Not even you are aware of  a poison this potent, but you will continue experimenting, assuming David doesn’t get confused again.

→ This week David reads “Three Psychopaths” a book written by William Metlie, David’s ancestor. This book is particularly fascinating. William Metlie was simply a witness and bystander to the events in Kad’s lair. This book is written from a fairly objective standpoint. You remember when William wrote this book, but you were not yet strong enough to be aware of what he was writing. The book describes how the three raped the women in the cell and forced people to obey them using their higher military standing. The two William calls “Lieutenant” and “Captain” were two of the three that later became the General and the King. They protected a boy there and even let him be a part of their torturous fun. This boy was only 17 and later became the Merchant of the three. He used his money back home and promised the commanding officers great amounts of wealth if they made his imprisonment more… comfortable. The rest of the book is about killing Kad, and for some reason, David has no desire to read that part.

→ You send your missionaries out into the wealthier part of town to begin influencing the nobles.Your missionaries are well received and many nobles convert. They are however, quite bothered that there are no churches close to their homes in the nice part of town. They hate the rustle and bustle of the market and slums. Many convert, but many just simply won’t for the sake of convenience. + Religious Unity

→ Your preachers do what they do best. They preach. Mostly near your churches. This increases the spread of your faith and attracts 50 people willing to become consecrated members of the church. + Religious Unity + 50 Monks -50 Dunts

→ You begin looking into the issues concerning the poor. What you find is that they are four things. The first is hungry. Many can’t afford more than one meal per day. The second is cold. Most of the lower class can’t afford firewood or simply don’t have homes. The third is abused. Guards around the city will arrest the poor simply for looking at them funny and because the government doesn’t really care about the poor. And finally the fourth thing is stupid. The poor are vastly undereducated. Most can’t even count that high. Literacy rates in the slums are close approximately 10%. Danith is disgusted by these statistics.

→ Danith commits to his walk and talks with many people throughout the day. At one point he witnesses a guard beating a poor boy, and Danith stops. He couldn’t have been more than twelve.

“Have you no compassion sir?” Danith cries out to the guard.

The guard looks up briefly from beating the boy to acknowledge Danith “Not for shit thieves like this little fucker right here” he says, and he proceeds kicking and punching the boy.

“A thief is he?” Inquires Danith loudly. A crowd begins to draw near. “And what did this boy steal?” Danith asks now with an audience.

“A loaf of bread from a bakery down the road here! He’s gotta pay for is somehow and he doesn’t got the money so...” the guard turns as his voice trails off and kicks the boy while he writhes in pain on the ground.

“And what is your name my violent friend?” asks Danith.

“We are not friends, and I am Gruden.” The guard articulates these two sentences quite clearly with his teeth gritted. “Listen you holy fucking whatever you are, I have a job to do. I keep the peace. I keep the order. I make sure people know where they belong: within the law, then I keep them there. This boy thought he could step outside the law and for that he must be punished!” The guards last words escalate in volume as he draws his sword.

“Please Gruden, for I am sure the world has been unkind to both you and the boy, can you not see his fear or his struggle? The boy simple wants to eat. Is this boy not entitled to the very necessities of human life? Have you no compassion? Sit still my friend and listen to your own heart beat. It’s in there and in it you will find true strength. The strength it takes to admit that you have done wrong by this boy! If you sever his hand from his wrist, what good will you have done? With this I must ask the boy, what is your name young fellow?”

 Muddled in the blood spewing from the boys mouth, he manages to speak his own name “Ja- James”

“And James my young friend, why have you taken this bread?” Danith asks.

The boy looks like Danith has just asked him to climb a mountain but manages to say, “It’s for my sister, she’s horribly sick.”

“Speak no more my child for you will need your strength.” Danith replies seeing the boy’s pain. Danith turns to Gruden and again begins to speak “Gruden, what is the just thing to do here? Is it to sever this boy’s hand from his wrist? Is it to beat him senseless? To make him taste his own blood for simply wanting to feed his ill sister? I should think that no man present here would find this to be justice!” Danith shouts, now addressing the crowd. They respond with words of encouragement and agreement. They like what Danith has to say. Danith again turns to Gruden. Now speaking more pleasantly. “You see, Gruden, there is no moral truth my friend. There is nothing that makes all good things good and all bad things bad. Nothing to make the just, just or the unjust, unjust. There is only what you can attain through silencing the screams of anger and hate in your mind.” Danith pauses and examines Gruden more closely. He can see Gruden’s anger growing, but also notices a religious pendant around his neck. “I see that you are a follower of the court of Denthir. The faith so many follow in this city.” Danith observes.

“That I am. And through Denthir’s child Abnor, I act. To punish the criminals, because that is what the gods would want. Not what you speak of you false holy man.” Gruden hisses.

The crowd now seems to see Gruden’s point and many hiss at Danith. He waits for their boos to silence themselves before he speaks again. He takes a long pause before he again begins to question Gruden, “Gruden, how can you know that Abnor, Son of Denthir, would want you to beat and disfigure this boy?”

“Because it’s the law, the king’s law.” Gruden responds feeling quite proud of his answer.

“And is the king Abnor?” Asks Danith.

The crowd becomes completely silent, and Gruden is forced to respond, “No, but he acts on behalf of the gods”

“How can he know what your gods want Gruden? Do you really believe that Abnor, Son of Denthir, god of justice and revenge would find this to be the appropriate response? Did not Abnor himself steal the scales of justice from his father and receive no punishment other than forgiveness?” Danith asks stunning the crowd with his knowledge of the court of Denthir. “If Abnor is a god, and his justice is perfect as your faith suggest, would this not make him a hypocrite and thusly make his justice imperfect?” Danith watches Gruden’s face contort in confusion and fear. As these words leave Danith’s lips, more guards begin to run to Gruden’s side, having noticed the crowd.

Gruden again speaks, this time accompanied with 4 companions, “You are imperfect soothsayer not the gods.” Gruden swings his sword downward and severs the boy’s hand from his wrist is one clean swing. James’s screams fill the air. Gruden then picks up the boy by his collar and drops him at Danith’s feet. “Fuck you, heathen” he spits in Danith’s face. Danith does not blink. He does not get angry.

Another guard shouts the words “You’ve seen enough peasants, disperse!” But the crowd does not move. Gruden looks around at the angry contorted faces of the poor surrounding him. He begins angrily pacing around the circle they have created around them.

“Disperse!” He screams. “God damn you filth! Disperse! You’ve seen enough, and justice has been served! Disperse!” He continues to pace. The crowd still does not budge.

Danith again begins to monolouge, “Gruden, you are a sinner in the eyes of your own false gods. I would plead to the wonderful men and women here that they mustn't be violent. That they mustn't harm others, but they do not follow my faith. Like you, Gruden, these people are followers of the court of Denthir. In my faith, we believe that only through silence can you achieve enlightenment. In enlightenment, you should never feel the need to harm another. Gruden, I hope that someday, you can find the strength to overcome your anger, hate and fear. I hope you can forgive yourself for your sins. I wish you only the best, for you my friend are more sick than this poor boy’s sister. Your sickness is hate, and only you can cure yourself. You are weak Gruden: weaker than this one handed boy at my feet.”

Gruden becomes even more emotional with Danith’s accusations and strikes him with the hilt of his sword. Danith is knocked to the ground. “I AM NOT WEAK!” Screams Gruden.

Danith looks up at Gruden, dazed and confused. He can see the crowd’s unrest reach an unbearable level. One of the peasants screams “Death to Gruden!” The crowd lunges forward.

Before Danith and Gruden are swallowed by the riot, Danith looks directly at Gruden and Gruden returns his gaze. Danith says a few of the last words Gruden would ever hear. “I forgive you.” The crowd then swallows them up and chaos ensues. Commoners are slaughtered by guards and Gruden is ripped limb from limb by the rioting poor. Amidst the chaos, Danith scoops up the boy and flees to the temple with only one image in his mind: Gruden's brutal murder. Danith weeps for a soul that could not be saved as he carries an unconscious boy named James to safety.

→ You kill a pimp in the lesser slums, and you kill a murderer gone free. Neither are really of note, but you still kill them and everyone hears their screams. +Fear

→ You stalk a lieutenant of the town guard. The poor call him “Lt. Fuckery” He is very irrational and often arrests people of kill them for simple “Disgracing the City’s beauty” or more simply: being poor and smelly. You follow him into an ally after he emerges from a brothel. You follow him into the alley, but you stop when you hear his voice in the alley.

“The fuck are you doing?” He yells.

Briefly, you are afraid that he heard you coming, but you quickly dispel this thought. You’re too good for that to be the case. Your eyes adjust to the dark alley. You see that Fuckery is yelling at two of his men, who are fucking whores in the alley.One of the girls can’t be more than thirteen. His men are silent and just continue doing what they were doing.

Again Fuckery speaks, “This is indecent! Take it inside at least. There are laws against this! Should I have both of you stripped of your rank?” Fuckery hiccups. He appears to be little drunk. You’re surprised the government official who just stepped out of a brothel is such a stickler for the law.

The two men grunt and begin heading for the entrance to the Brothel. They quickly stop and notice you standing at the end of the alley way. It’s over in four seconds: a personal worst. Your emotions must have gotten in the way. You only wish you could have made them scream louder, but alas, you mustn’t be caught. You carve up Fuckery and crucify him, then lay the prostitutes and the guards at his feet. You stop to admire your work. Oh, how it brings you joy! If only you could appreciate your work in the morning, but unfortunately, your monkly duties call. +Fear

→ You’re quite tired the next day and rather depressed that you missed seeing the fear your work struck into  the hearts of poor unsuspecting citizens. When the weekly sermon is complete, you flee from the church looking for some unsuspecting people of note hoping their screams will cheer you up. AND OH HOW THEY DO! The king’s master of coin is exiting a bank with a couple of the King’s guard with him. A knife to the leg makes you mood so good, that you feel no desire to continue. + fear


→  You return to the mages college to continue your research. You find that invisibility magic is extremely difficult to cast. You doubt that there is anyone in the city who could manage such a difficult form of magic, but you do hear of a relic called “Denthir’s Ring” that may be able to create invisibility.

→ Your frequent absences from the church  given all of your work this week has failed to earn you any favor with the higher ranking monks. You have to show that you are completely dedicated to the church.

→ You find no gay wizards… yet.

Normally this wouldn’t cause a riot, but a religious leader apparently spoke out against him, and preached to the crowd of bystanders. He apparently didn’t want a riot, but still caused one.

Brenth thinks that the monster could indeed be a monster, but the town guard’s official statement is that it is a deranged assassin.

→ You begin to follow politics in New Ledlin. You find that there is no correlation between Krexus targets. It appears to be pretty random. What you notice is that each target appears to be poorly guarded or some kind of sinner. Usually both.

→ You prepare traps and bell-ringing tripwire alarms.

Turn 3: Stuff is Happening... Quickly

More murders in New Ledlin strike fear into the hearts of New Ledlin citizens. Could it be the age old demon, The Krexus? Those are just rumors according to the town guard who have evidence that this is the work of a trained assassin, but still many are not convinced. In light of the news of a crucifixion of several town guard, and several other murders, the king has offered up a 200 Dunt bounty to the man or woman who catches the killer.

There is also news of a riot breaking out near the city wall. There is a lot of speculation as to how it started, but the word is that it was a disagreement with the guards that sparked the violence. Supposedly a man argued with a guard about the punishment that was to dealt to a thief. People are saying that it was the severing of the thief's hand that started the riot, but very little is known by the general public. Could this be a result of the growing size of the town guard?

The people of New Ledlin are content, but a little confused and shaken up by the violence over the last seven days. Hopefully the next week will be better than the last...

EXTENDED DUE DATE: You have until Sunday 5/17/2015 to post your turns. (10 Days)

Danith had been shaken, by the violence he had witnessed-but, it was not surprising. He had seen much worse in his youth.

He had once been a boy much like James, though his needs for stealing were not so honorable-he just had to fill his own belly. He spent many hours in reflection, wondering if he had-unconsciously-even provoked the mob...he remembered the Guard was never known to be gentle, or kind to the poor and unfortunate. Not to him, certainly. They were not all cruel or heartless, though...it was a job that tended to profit cruel and heartless men. Had he been seeking revenge for past slights, unwillingly?

In the end, her forgave himself-he could not let such thoughts take root.

...

His next moves were expansion. The state of the city had made him think that perhaps there were opportunities in other cities that might be more profitable.

He had a grand vision of farms stretching for miles, growing bales of delicious food for the hungry folks of the city. Hunger had been a constant companion when he was a boy. He had felt his skin drawing tight against his bones. Had felt the gnawing pain of a growling stomach. He wanted to fix that...and, if it could benefit the church somehow, so much the greater...

...

Maybe in a perfect world, he might have adopted James and Sophia himself-but, Danith was all too aware of how difficult street children could be, having been one himself-Amelia still had hopes of raising their own children, one day. He would certainly not let the boy starve, and would try to find him a home among his clergy, but suspected that one day the pair would merely vanish back into the streets where they felt most safe.

It's what he had almost done himself, before Amelia drew him back-not only to the church, but to her...

Actions:
Our Missionaries begin squeezing the Nobles (to put it politely) for funds to help construct the Grand Temple of Holy Reflection (a large church) in the upper class area of the city. If we can begin construction with our current money without going broke, do so.

A dozen Preachers are sent on a holy mission to Dembur to ascertain opportunities for religious expansion in that city. They travel by ship, if possible.

Danith tells the public the truth of the matter of the guards death, greatly abridged-that he questioned the need for such harsh punishment, and violence resulted, and that blood was shed by all hands. He declares that all should take a week to reflect on this tragedy. He encourages people to confess their sins to the silence-and forgive themselves, and refrain from further violence in these hardening times.

Danith goes to discuss the manner of Gruden's death with whatever amounts to his bosses in more detail, though he tactfully attempts to leave James and Sophia's names out of it, lest they be targeted for revenge. He tries to calm things down-indeed, he tries to convince them that overly harsh punishments only harm the order of the city.

Query-Can we find James and Sophia a home among one of the families in our clergy? Ask them what they might like to do with their future, given our fortunes of meeting.

Query-How many major competing religions are there in this city? What do we know about them?

Query-Also, Danith figures the best way to start helping people is to house them. How much would it cost to begin building homes and houses for the poor, using the labor of local men? Also, look into the food situation. Who supplies the grain, the fish, the meat? Why isn't there enough for everyone? What opportunities are there to expand our food supplies? Danith thinks someone (maybe the church) could possibly profit from this, and make sure everyone eats at the same time.

- Speech again. Very anti-government, pro-citizenry. Try to also bridge the gap between guards and others in society; make them appear more "human", and thus try to build support among any listeners. They belong to this city just as every other man, woman, and child does.

- Put my informants to work gathering information, particularly the first action.

- Talk to David about following: putting a donation box in front of my soap box while speaking (would it be seen as greedy? If he thinks it's a good idea, do it), setting up a bread line for the poor (try to calculate costs, how it'd be received, etc. Do not implement yet either way), getting a few of the guards on our side (possible? Costs associated? If no costs or risks, do immediately. Otherwise, wait).

-Stopping the riot is simple. Send my guards disguised as commoners among them, and have them strike a few commoners and walk away, causing them to attack each other. Then have the other guards keep watch for damage control. When they calm down, nudge them back to their daily routine.

-Punish the priest who caused the riot by making an example of him. Keep him alive, but cut off both his hands and stick a knife in his legfor the trouble he caused. This should keep him from causing trouble again. Also, blame his punishment on the Krexus.

-Send a commoner guard to the whore house to draw out the whore who tried to meet me. When we have her, have I and the guards act like criminal thugs and threaten the reason out of her.

-Hire a new advisor

Denthir's ring, I want it. I do research into it, if I find out who has it or where it is, I will steal it. If the situation is one where I do not think I will able to do such, I investigate the place in which it is being held. If I am able to do so, also kill its previous owner, gut him, and right the word "Krexus" in his blood on the wall nearest his corpse. If guards, or others see me, they die too, and their bodies may join the owner's. \

Abduct and kill off duty guards. They are to be brutally murdered, and thrown off roofs into crowded areas (Like with the acid). They will all have the word "Krexus" carved somewhere on their bodies. I leave where up to your imagination.

I also want to give the captain of the guard the same treatment I gave Fuckery. He has be spoiled my name for too long.

Give my dagger treatment to any and all politicians who I find speaking, do the same for religious speakers not withn their own church, and guild leaders as well. They're always corrupt. Also dagger 20 random people in the streets; I want to send a very clear message (Which I think I'll actually add to the word "Krexus" in the owner's blood: "Nobody is innocent".

Alright, well I guess no turn from a couple people this time around... I should have it done on the next few days. I'm already pretty far into it. I might spend a little extra time on this turn. Some people have been getting a little more dialogue than others and I wanna balance that out.

Turn 3: Results

Despite the couple missing turns this one was pretty interesting.
Characters are starting to interact now, and remember, if you've met another player, and you know them in game, you can private message them.

Spoiler: Dwarmin (click to show/hide)

→ You find that a fair number of nobles are willing to convert if there is a church near by and many offer to help pay for the grand temple. They invest 150 Dunts to begin the construction, and you are expected to pay for the rest (total of 500 Dunts). You invest 200 Dunts yourself to help with the construction. (350 Dunts invested - 3W to finish)
NOTE: Invested funds can be pulled and used however you want to use them. If you pull them, it simply stops construction. You will still owe 150 Dunts to complete the construction but you can add that to the investment when the time comes.

→ A dozen preachers are sent to Dembur. They will return in a weeks time.

→ Danith decides to make his speech to the people of New Ledlin. They must know the truth. Danith sets out his preachers to tell people to gather at the steps of the castle to hear the truth of the riot by the wall. Many gather to hear Danith’s words, including the king, who seeks an explanation for this violence. (See the dialogue: On the king’s porch)
→ Danith speaks with the silent council and they are pleased with Danith’s actions. While his questioning of Gruden may have sparked violence, the council believes that Danith acted as he should have. No boy deserves what James received.

Questions:

→ James and Sophia say they have no plans for their future. Their constant struggle to stay alive hasn’t given them time to plan for their futures. After a long winded announcement to the clergymen. A bishop steps forward and offers to take them in. You know him well and trust him to care for these poor children.

→ There are three. You are one of them. The court of Denthir is the dominant polytheistic religion. They make up about 50% of the city. The other is the church of light. They are a less popular faith, but they make up about 25% of the city. The church of light believes that the light will guide you to righteousness. There is also a percentage of non-religious people. You are extremely well versed in the competing faiths as the original Danith was.

→ The food is supplied by the farmers. There is more than enough of it to go around. People simply can’t afford to pay for it. To begin housing the poor, you would need to start building shelters, which would be similar in cost to your churches. As for feeding the people, you could look into speaking with the farmers to see if you can work out a contract.

→ You find the books you seeked.

Spoiler: Urist Arrhenius (click to show/hide)

→ You go to the castle to learn of the book of blood. When you speak to anyone there, they deny it’s existence. Frustrated, you ask one of the handmaidens, who tells you that the rumors are that the government archives hold many books that have been kept from public eyes. Perhaps there is something in that book they don’t want you to know…

Spoiler: Elfeater (click to show/hide)

→ After researching more into the attacks, you learn that the Krexus has recently been targeting off-duty guards. So you begin shadowing a few less.... ethical…. guards in their spare time. You wind up spending most of your time in brothels. You begin to lose hope in finding the Krexus, when one night as you are stalking a guard as he leaves a brothel, he turns down an alleyway you rigged with Krexus traps. You follow him into the the alley, but you see a little more than you were bargaining for… (See Dialogue: Two Nightmares Collide) (I’ve added stuff to your character sheet below)

Spoiler: DontBanTheMan (click to show/hide)

→ You and David, with the help of your informants, convince a few nobles to start backing your cause. What do they want in return? An independent New Dunland. They hate the Dunnish taxes. +income

→ You give a speech that humanizes everyone in the New ledlin society, which reminds the people that the king, and the guards are no different than them. Many hear you, and with the help of David, they like what they hear. You use the recent event concerning the slaughter of many guards, and people feel deep sympathy for the guards. + Awareness

→ Your informants make you aware of a speech being given by the holy man who caused the riot. As it turns out, it was the leader of the church of silence. He questioned a guard who was beating the daylights out of a twelve year old boy for stealing a loaf of bread. A crowd surrounded him and the guard as he debated with the guard.  Finally, the guard cuts off the boy’s hand (standard punishment). Then strikes the holy man, which then started the riot. Also, the frequency of Krexus attacks is increasing.

→ David immediately shuts down the donation box idea. “We have plenty of support from nobles as is.” he says. A bread line for the poor would likely cost about 30 Dunts a week in order for it to make any kind of difference. As for guards… anything can be bought for the right price (10/turn. Each. There are many risks associated with being a guard that backs politicians)

→ The riot was broken up easily and without struggle. By the time your guards arrive, it has mostly cleared out. It appears it was a very small riot, but you do find the remains of one of your guards.

→ The holy man of which you speak is rarely alone. In fact, he is almost never alone. He lives in a large monastery with close to one hundred other people. You also learn that he has close to 6,000 followers in the city. You advisors suggest that if you are going to punish him, you should make it public. There is too great of a chance of people finding out it wasn’t a Krexus attack. You do get a chance to meet this man though… (See Dialogue: On the King’s Porch)

→ Your guards do not find the whore in any whore house in the city. They’ve searched all over, but it appears she may not have been a whore after all...

→ You set out to kill the most decorated and powerful military officer in New Dunland. You decide it would be best to not do that seeing that he lives in the military district, which is filled with 800 Guards, and 2000 Soldiers that patrol the area 24/7/365. He is the best protected man in all of New Ledlin, and he doesn’t go to brothels like Fuckery.

→ You did not post a turn this time around, so here are your events.

→ The Krexus has been killing more of your guards and carving the words “Krexus” into them. Then these bodies are being thrown from buildings into crowded areas.

Spoiler: On The King's Porch (click to show/hide)

The holy man stood waiting on the castle steps. His preachers were hard at work around the city spreading the news of his speech. He knew that there would be an audience, and a sizeable one. People are quite curious about the nature of the riot that occurred a week prior. A reasonably sized crowd was already present at the steps. More and more began to pour in.

He hears the clamour of metal behind him and turns to see two of the king’s guard escorting a man dressed in satin and covered in gold, and a man in full military uniform, whom is quite heavily decorated. This must be the king the holy man thinks to himself.

“What is this filth doing on my step?” The king calls out to his guards.

“I have come to confess the truth your grace!” Cries the holy man. “I am Danith Santiv XII: The Enlightened One. Leader of the church of silence. I have come to give a speech to the people of New Ledlin. I think they deserve to know the truth.”

The king looks oddly surprised by this statement, and for a second there is even a tinge of fear on his face. “The truth of what?” He asks.

“The truth of the riot that broke out recently. I believe that I am partially to blame for it.” Danith replies.

The king takes a moment. His face looking puzzled. He looks over at Danith and asks “Do you know who I am, priest?”

“You are Lord Peter Marius IV: King of New Ledlin. A follower of the court of Denthir.” Danith answers.

“Then you would know that I have half a mind to put your head on spike right now wouldn’t you?” The king asks, raising his voice.

“I do your grace, but I ask that you hear me speak before you commit to such an action.” Danith says, gesturing to the now sizeable crowd of people waiting at the feet of the steps.

The king steps back and looks at his friend. They both seem to be intrigued. The king turns back to Danith and says, “Proceed, heathen.” The king steps to the side with his guards, keeping his distance from Danith.

Danith turns to the crowd of people standing before him and begins to speak his wise words.

“Be still my friends! For there is much to which I must confess! Many of you may know me as Danith Santiv: The twelfth enlightened one! Many of you may not know me at all, but the truth is that despite my societal standing and wisdom, I was once much like all of you. I was cold, hungry, and abused. I only managed to escape a life of sorrow through silence, and a woman I love more than silence itself.” The crowd is captivated by Danith’s relatable words.

“I know the pain that comes with not knowing if you will eat tonight, or tomorrow, and I know the decisions the poor are forced to make for their own survival, which is why I was deeply disturbed when I saw a town guard beating a boy last week.” There is a shift in the crowd. Many look over at the king.

“Like any man with half a heart, I asked why this boy had to be beaten. The response to this question was that he had stolen a loaf of bread for his sick and starving younger sister. The boy was only looking out for the ones he holds closest to him. Much like we all do. Even I feel compelled to protect my loved ones, despite knowing that all men are equal in their creation.” There is a chuckle in the crowd. Danith is pleased to see smiling faces returning his gaze, but once the murmur dies their faces again look quite grim.

“However, despite my best efforts, the guard was unconvinced that the boy deserved forgiveness. And perhaps I am wrong. Perhaps this boy did deserve to have his hand severed from his wrist...” Danith trails off, giving the crowd time to react.

“Nay Danith! Spare the boy! Nay!” The crowd cries.

“So, then, the people of New Ledlin agree with my original assumption?” Danith asks the crowd.

“Yea Danith! You are wise!” Citizens cry out from the crowd.

“Then the boy’s hand does not deserve to be taken from him! Clarity at last! I must say that I, the enlightened one, find that the minds of the masses are much wiser than the mind of the guard. For when I told the guard that his punishment was unjust, he took the boys hand without hesitation!” Danith shouts.

The crowd boos and shouts in disapproval.

“Calm yourselves, gentle friends. This is what got us into this mess in the first place! You see, after the guard took the boy’s hand, he struck me in anger, and the crowd took the guard’s life. A riot ensued, and I was only barely able to escape with the boy. We mustn’t answer injustice with violence, for violence is innately unjust! Is injustice the answer to injustice my dear friends? I think not, for then the world would be nothing but injustice, and that is not the solution! No my friends, the answer is not injustice. It is compassion.”

The crowd is silent and Danith pauses to appreciate it.

“That is the answer my friends. Compassion for one another. Silence. We must silence our anger and hate, lest we become like the guard, who I saw ripped limb from limb.” Danith pauses here for the impact of that graphic to set in. He looks up at the king, whose face is contorted in rage. Again Danith speaks “Look at the person next to you, and offer them your open hand. You needn’t speak to show compassion. Your acts of kindness speak louder than the words of any hateful guard. Go in peace my brothers and sisters. Love each other.”

The people of New Ledlin do not go. They stay and cheer for Danith. The holy man begins to descend the stairs of the castle steps to embrace the people of New Ledlin, when a king’s guard reaches out and stops him. Two of them restrain him and hold him in place on the steps. The crowd again grows silent as the king steps forward. “Now are you my people or his?” He asks as the many guards at the scene draw their weapons. “My law states that any thief should have his hand taken from his wrist! This is the law and this has been the law for hundreds of years!” The people are silent again, now out of fear and not respect. “I am your king! And those who oppose me are traitors. I deem this man’s words treacherous! Are they not treacherous?” Again the crowd is silent. “ARE THEY NOT TREACHEROUS?!” The king now screams.

Again the crowd is silent.

“You know what we do to traitors!” The king smiles as he says this, and he draws his sword.

The crowd hisses.

The king’s well decorated friend walks up and whispers in the king’s ear. “We can’t afford another riot. The people will think they have power over us.”

Danith overhears this.

The King’s turns back to the crowd, and says “But out of the kindness of my heart. I will spare this man. The words he speaks are wise, but let it be known: I will not tolerate any more of this chaos! Next time, I will have this mans head!” The king shouts as he points his sword at Danith.

"Now get off my porch!" The king cries. As he says this, the guards sheath their weapons and begin dispersing the crowd.

The king then turn to Danith and puts his own sword away. The king slowly approaches Danith until he is only inches from his face. The kings voice is low and shaky with rage:

“You’re on my list, holy man.”

Spoiler: Two Nightmares Collide (click to show/hide)

A demon spies his target from his perch on top of a brothel. He looks into the alley and sees a man stumbling through the dark. He recognizes him to be a rather unpleasant guard. The demon likes his prey. He strikes by leaping down from his perch. He lands directly behind the man and slits his throat with a knife all in one smooth and silent motion. “Perfect” says the demon seeming quite happy with his work. He begins carving up the corpse. Unaware of man baring witness to these events standing at the end of the alley.

*Click*

The demon turns suddenly alerted by this noise to see a figure holding what appears to be a crossbow. The demon sees a bolt flying towards him and easily avoids it. The demon can now make out the figure to be a large burly man carrying many weapons and trinkets. It is in this time that the man with the crossbow can see the demon, and recognizes not a demon, but instead, another man.

The two men stand staring at each other briefly. Both astonished by the events that just transpired. The murderer is surprised that he could have not noticed the man at the end of the alley. And the man with the crossbow seems to be amazed that he is staring at a human.

Both men know that this can only end in one of their deaths.

Quickly, the hunter drops his crossbow and pulls out a bow. The demon sees this and dashes forward. The demon-man pulls out a knife and prepares to throw it at the hunter. Exactly as the hunter planned it, the demon triggers his tripwire. Pieces of the roof of the building begin falling down. The demon realizes this and avoids the falling bricks easily with a simple side step.

Exactly what the hunter needed. An extra second.

The hunter releases his arrow and the demon turns to see the arrow flying towards him.

He moves to evade this attack, but not even his quick reflexes could completely make up for the hunter’s spectacular aim. A searing pain hits the demon in his upper torso. Looking over the demon sees an arrow protruding from his right shoulder. His reflexes may have saved his life, but perhaps this shot was intentional. The demon had dropped his knife, and was unable to make use of his right arm. He looks back at the hunter to see he has already drawn his bow again, but this time the demon has time to react. He is too far to reach the hunter, so he attempts to sidestep his attack. This arrow only grazes his other arm, but now the demon’s hood has fallen.

The hunter enjoys making this creature dance... and getting a good look at his face.

The demon quickly asses the severity of his injury and realizes that he cannot hope to fight this man without the use of both of his arms. The demon begins to flee. He attempts to retrieve his fallen knife, but an arrow whizzes past it as he does.

“That’s mine now, beast!” shouts the hunter as the demon again turns to run away. The hunter attempts to kill the beast as he flees, but finds that he is simply too fast and evasive. The demon disappears into the shadows.

The hunter stands at the end of the alley and cries “YOUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED, KREXUS!” He laughs giddily to himself before seeing the remains of the guard. The letters “KRE” are carved into his chest. It appears he hadn't finished. The hunter kneels down and closes the deceased man's eyes and mutters a prayer. He then turns and picks up the knife the killer dropped. He examines it longingly. With curiosity in his voice, the hunter says to himself “You don’t know who you’re dealing with. Do you beasty?”

Let me know what you think of the dialogues and the game in general if you get a chance. I always appreciate feedback.
