It's also quite possible that Chicane was someone else's pawn. But that sort of Xanatos Gambit would be kind of insane.

Ha.  Aha.  Ahahahahaha.

((Because I'm just one of those people who goes out there and gets things done. I'm no foppish dandy(Looking at -you- Trubaldsome!)! I mean, sure eventually I'll get mired in idiocy and responsibilities and so on. But until that happens I'm out here cheerfully screwing up everyones plans.

I intend to keep that up too. It doesn't matter how much responsibility you try to lay on me. Duke or not.
Yes. An Assassin's Guild. They are vital to diplomacy and you're going to need some hanging around. I imagine you'd want them loyal..So..Yeah. I could even juggle it into my other responsibilities if necessary.
As far as Chicane's designs? Probably going to mostly fall apart. We'll see the effects of them either falling apart, or moving to their conclusion. But without the central piece of the conspiracy theres little chance it will seriously impact us.))

I'll probably introduce a Spy specialist after the war is concluded to do this sort of thing, although players will still be able to do it in 'RPG mode', because there's no way I'd take away something that fun.

((If I was in command, I'd just attack the incoming 'Prestoner' army blindly. Sadly, we have more cautious people in charge and they'll most likely do things like 'scout' and 'negotiate', finding out it's actually led by Manning. Pfft.))
The prestoner army is neutral at this time. The only people I'm leading are my own crew and a couple engineers. I'm still in a good position to attack them though.

If an assassins/spies guild is started, Manning's crew would love to volunteer to participate as soon as this war is over. They already have elementary stealth training and could use some more.

((Knavston would love to hear your input. As is, we've looted the city, but the Fortress defenders outnumber us and if those Neutral Prestoners decide to to stick with King Philip, we'll be surrounded. At this point I'm more inclined to pull back and meet the smaller army coming from the South before getting caught))

((I was writing a post earlier where Aulon throws around looted wine from the port and comes over to advise them to attack, but I decided it would be too out-of-character. He doesn't care about war, he's just here for the money and/or land. Stupid king, not giving him a proper mission. I should switch characters, or atleast develop him to more useable direction.))

((No one said you had to develop a useful character. Sometimes it's more fun when the chracter hinders a plan more than he helps.

Quick question for GM/King. Do we know how far out the Army from the South is? Would there be time to upgrade units with the looted money before they arrive?))

If they march on north after reaching Miring, they'll arrive at the end of the season (i.e. in time to conduct a battle before Winter sets in).  So yes, you'll have plenty of time to upgrade units with your loot.

Also, technically Aulon could care about war if it meant him keeping his looted money/land.

((Does that include the 4 regiments in the Prestoner Army?))

((Kain is facepalming at Kyutzain, if'n you can guess it.))

Kain read the message with a small frown and then sighed.
"Make sure that man, Banquo's, corpse is rotted beyond all recongnition. And prepare the list of names."
Kain slipped on his black robe and called a meeting of his captains.
"Rally my men, were heading towards Sheepstead. Oh...Send a message to that Kyutzain fellow."

((If Ehndra was on we could advance the storyline for our part and see if we got the land faster. It's also possible for Ehndra to raise his own personal regiment if he wanted to.)

I'm having money troubles so they disconnected my internet at home... No way to post outside of work. :\ Thankfully I work from 10 AM to 6 PM EST, though its 6:45 and I'm still at the office. (Manager, I can stay as long as I want, hehe)

...And yes, I'm here just to post on B12 in RP posts. Can't get geekier than that.

In response to Kain's summons, Kytuzian went over...again. He never seems to run out of things to ask me, most of them useless, though Kytuzian as he went.

Once there, he asked for a meeting with Kain.

((It's okay I responded to the message right?))
