((It'll be like the wild wild west, you'll be Will Smith, and I'll be the other guy.))

((It'll probably coincide with some Trubalsome-Miring related hijinks, too. Much, much, hijinks! Also, why so quiet? It's almost... Too quiet. D: ))

free 0.5 ducats worth of slaves to appease my new slaves people a bit
      raise another Regiment of Bloôdvindr Raiders
      send envoys to the three closest Clans, with an offer of surrender.Where needed bribe them with the last 2 ducats of Slaves. By now the story of the Taggarts and the Pearsons should have spread so no need of new cruelties.

seems like i got forgotten in the haste...and whew 6 pages in one night? nice one...

OOC: I've stopped using invisible castle. All of the rolls I made with it today came out as either 3, 1, or 6. Usually going something like "3,3,3,3,3,1,1,1,1,6,6,6,2,3,3,3"
Switching to random.org, so no more links to those rolls.

E: Also, Kaguro gets one more post in the trial. Then the King will convene with his advisors and justice will be doled out
I'm also changing the price of Terenos' personal armor as I originally put it way too high. Will edit in Ochita's audience with the King in a bit, since I forgot about that.


(Drua 4) Luckily, some of the herbs you have on hand are able to cause the swelling to go down as well as act as a pain reliever. The hives, however, will only go away with time.
(Black 2) Some of the villagers saw the fight between the Knight and the Demon, and they were close enough to receive the visions and hear the screams as well. Word of the carnage of demonic visions is spreading almost as quickly as word of Taric's heroics. On top of that, a large mob, more curious than angry, has formed around you all and your voice is drowned out by the noise. You won't be assuring anybody of their safety at the moment.
(Ochita) Your torn cloak and hood make for a very good makeshift pillow.

(Mahtan 4) You're very good at making it look like you've spent the whole day sleeping instead of building a ballista and annihilating doors, slacker. Nobody will suspect a thing...except for Kaguro's personal guard, who bore witness to those events.

Sometime Later...

(Locanil) Sometime later, a pair of soldiers arrive at your cell. "Alrigh' then, King wants you f'r some reason," one of them states through the bars.
The door creeks open, and you realize that both have their weapons drawn and shield at the ready, though neither make a move to attack. After a long moment, one of the soldiers motions for you to follow and turns to lead you back to the throne room.

During an Indeterminate Time...

(Terenos 6) You're able to find a smith who makes you the perfect suit of armor. Built for movement, the armor is bound to provide enough protection in battle while also allowing you to easily escape through windows after lighting offices on fire. The only problem is that you forgot to ask the price until after the armor had been made. The price is 2 Ducats, and you won't be getting the armor until after you've paid up.

(Corv 6) You release .5 ducats worth of slaves. This appeases your new people a LOT. So much, in fact, that they also take it upon themselves to follow your example and release an entire ducat of slaves while your back is turned. ((According to the main page post, you can't recruit any more regiments at the moment. It's possible that it's not up-to-date though, so if I'm wrong just let me know)) You send three envoys out, one to each of the three closest clans. (3) The first envoy arrives soon after leaving. It would appear that the Mackenzie clan is content to surrender to you, provided you grant them a single ducat of slaves and none of their own are turned into slaves. They only have a single parcel of land to their name. (2) The McMurrays, however, refuse to surrender, and you haven't the slaves to bribe them. (1) The MacEwen clans refuse to so much as speak to your envoy. War has been declared.

[Ghazkull]

OOC: uhm actually i have 4 parcels of land. That makes enough land for my personal guard, and the 2 Blôdvindr Raiders, the Slaves are not counted as units but as resources.

ask the 3 envoys whether they know anything about the military strength of those clans...

[micelus]

Locanil followed the guard. They seemed to be cautious and just waiting for him to attack. Well he thought, the humans had every right to be afraid after the demon escaped. Were it not for the appearance of the demon, Locanil might have had an easier time here. Oh well.

"You people are cautious and have right to be so after the demon escaped. I understand yes that you fear the things you not know."The guards said nothing. They continued on to the throne room.Once arriving at the throne room, Locanil got onto the floor and bowed as low as he could."Gracious lord, Thank you. I shall serve if king wishes." Locanil waited for a reply

[Iituem]

Yeah, you can use the captured Taggart land to raise troops from, assuming you have enough ducats to purchase them.  Unfortunately, the extra ducat of slaves you lost puts you back too far - you could raise a regiment of normal infantry, but you'll need another ducat to raise more raiders.

[3, 1, 1]  The envoy to the Mackenzie clan reports that the clan only has a small number of warriors, probably just the equivalent of one regiment.  The McMurrays caught the second envoy trying to snoop around and cut off one of his ears as punishment.  The MacEwan's just sent the third envoy's head back.

[Terenos]

Comfortable, decent protection, also flows with me to allow easy escape through windows after lighting offices on fire? Sold. I'm so making that happen.
Yknow, in time.

[Taricus]

When you have money

[Ghazkull]

now i am really confused...thatkid said that i lost my slaves in the end due to to less land...which doesnt makes sense as they are a resource, and btw i gathered that that gained from looting is that which remains AFTER your soldiers have taken their share which should make it impossible for my population to release state-owned slaves.

Secondly im a bit confused about my envoys...i asked them after they returned whether they have seen something during their , i never actively encouraged them to return there and spy again...well not that it matters...another cripple in my population -.-

on another note im getting sick and tired of my envoys being slaughtered...even these to-dumb-to-shit inbreds should know one or two things about hospitality and negotiation...i mean the guy only asks them what they would want to have to sway them to join me and the answer is cutting of his head? And they call me sick?

[Taricus]

Well, atleast now you can call them out for hypocricy

[Terenos]

Well, I imagine that they expected they were going to be asked to ask around. And simply suffered whatever as a result.
Furthermore, Brutality begets brutality in kind. If you speak french, are people going to talk to you in english? No. If you speak "I'm a cruel bastard" They will do the same thing back.

OOC:
First, my saying I didn't think you would be able to recruit regiments had nothing to do with your slaves. According to the first post, you have 2 regiments already. To recruit a single infantry regiment, you need to use 2 parcels of land. Each parcel can only be used once a year. Since you didn't have a (+) next to your name in that post, I assumed all four parcels had already been used in the act of recruiting your current regiments -- which prevents you from recruiting further this year.
You lost your slaves because you overshot, and the slaves you released went back with the help of their never-enslaved buddies and released even more slaves. That's what a six does: It's a success, but not a happy one. Your new people like you for releasing slaves, but you lost more slaves than intended.

Secondly, you didn't initially ask for your envoys to scout. While the first envoy likely got his information without having to go back, as the Mackenzies were friendly enough, the other two likely weren't even allowed into the main camp of the other clans and thus had to snoop in order to get your information. The first one had his ear cut off, likely as a punishment for eaves-dropping.
The third clan has declared war on you, they're going to kill your scouts.

Finally, you better get used to being rewarded with brutality for your actions. You're a clan of raiders who go around enslaving people, skinning them, and wearing their hides on your shields and banner. As violent as these lands are, that's still pretty sick and you yourself indicated in one of your earlier posts that brutality on that particular level is a relatively unheard of thing.
You're a scary dude, and these people are tough enough to not just bend over when intimidated. There's going to be a lot of violence.

Drua smiles as she hands a letter over to a servant, giving him strict instructions not to mess up, grinning. The girl nods nervously and darts away to find Sir Terenos. With the girl gone, Drua closes her door and lets out a long sigh. Taric had healed worse than expected, but at least he was going to live. The King had requested a meeting, for some reason, and she was a bit nervous. Slipping on a lovely blue dress her husband had shipped her. The thing was uncomfortably tight, but at least he made the effort. In spite of her somewhat self-centred intentions initially, she found she actually liked her husband. He wasn't a strong man with lots of ambition by any means, but he did know how to lead forces and be a gentleman. She grabbed a small dagger and hid it i none of the many frills of the dress, which didn't quite touch the floor. She knew she probably shouldn't bring a dagger to a meeting, but even the King's meeting hall didn't seem so safe these days...

Head to the meeting with the King, send the letter to Terenos.

Spoiler: The Letter to Terenos (click to show/hide)

Sir Terenos, I have a regiment of troops to call on for your assistance in defending Miring. Before you leave for the field of battle, I suggest we meet at my estate, where I shall raise a regiment and accompany you into battle.Please write back with suggestions and a time that you would be able to reach the estate by.
~Lady Drua

((The guards are there to protect me and gave me the materials, so they're probably not going to admit to having anything to do with it either, also I fired a freaking harpoon through a door, a desk, and then apparently a wall and decapitated a dude, which was Awesome))
