To get some control over him.


More control=Power + Safety + Wealth
More control=Jameson+ Control

But, what's our reason for wanting to see him?
Perhaps we'll say we're a famous writer, wanting to write the biography of such a brilliant man?

To suck up to him. To show him a few girls. To become his friend....And then plan an Unfortunate Accident after he signs all his estates and land and titles to us...Or someone we can control...


Alternatively we suck up to him, show him a few girls, become his friend and control him.


We can't simply write him a letter stating we which to become friends now can we?


And yeah we could do that.


I would believe Francis would be happy to know his apprentice went on to politics.

So, the plan is, get Arianne, and maybe even another pretty girl, and use them as gifts to suck up to Lord Jameson?  Just want to make sure here, sorry for the massive lack of updates.

Something like that, I guess! And let's tell him we're here to write the biography of such an amazing person. :P

Ok, its time to enter the political world.

                                                                                                     

You see an opportunity here.  If you earn the trust of this Lord Jameson, you could potentially gain a foothold in politics.  Imagine the influence you would have over this province were you to ally with him.  But to earn his trust, you're going to have to play nice, and bend the knee.  A "gift" of "female companionship" would also help. 

The obvious choice would be Arianne, but sending only one escort as a gift would be no doubt insulting to such a man.  You walk out of your study, and you see your entourage milling about.

"I will be gone for a few short minutes, I shall return soon, possibly with another friend." 

You flit down to the village ( once again ).  You stick to the shadows, due to the guards.  There are dozens of them, patrolling the scene of the massacre that Ben caused.  This doesn't stop the various prostitutes from plying their trade.  You approach the prettiest one, quite thin, almost like a boy, but with the face of an angel. 

"What is your name?" you ask her.  You seem to be asking that question a lot. 

"Rachel." she replies with a flirtatious smile. 

"Well, Rachel, I intend on giving the lord of this province, Lord Jameson two gifts.  Would you like to be one of them?"

She seems surprised, then turns thoughtful.  After a few seconds, she realizes the potential profit she could make being the mistress of a lord.  On a side note, you mention that you're a vampire.  She hardly notices, already daydreaming of the jewels and dresses her lord would lavish on her. 

You ( slowly, once again ) walk back to the castle.  Upon entering, Arianne eyes the new arrivals.  You notice this, and proceed to say-

"Arianne, I am no longer your master.  Tomorrow night, you shall be the mistress of Lord Jameson, along with this fine lady, Rachel."

The two women size each other up, then Arianne breaks the ice with a comment about you.  You don't pay attention, but it seemed to be a question on how long a certain appendage of yours was.  The two women laugh and start gossiping.  Women.


As you retire for the day, as the sun draws up, you think about what just happened.  You managed to gain the acquaintance of several strange fellows.  Arianne, the greedy prostitute.  Kevin, the not hunch-backed servant.  Ben, the werewolf, a reluctant acquaintance at best.  And lastly, Rachel, the starry eyed girl with dreams of comfort and luxury.  You pray to whatever being created all vampires that everything goes well.

                                                                                               

Sorry for the massive delay, I just noticed, not a day has passed.  So much happened, and I can't do the whole, "one turn one day" thing.  Hopefully this  game's been good so far.  Feel free to continue to plot and plan our eventual ascension in politics and the vampire world.  Suggestions ( this is a suggestion game after all ) and harebrained schemes are very much appreciated.

Well this is my basic outline of my plan.

Step 1: Journey to Jameson's castle/town with Rachel, Arianne, and Ben. Leave Kevin to tend the castle. Tell him to explore it and report anything unusual or interesting via messenger birds.

Step 2: Meet with Jameson during a feast or party or celebration and win his good graces.

Step 2a: If no celebration is possible, get Ben to ambush the lord as either a thief (human) or a werewolf( if he can control himself). Save the lord and become his friend.

Step 3: Present him the two ladies. Get them to spy on the man and get reports.

Step 4:  ??? (Still thinking on this part)

Step 5: Profit.

This game is fun, keep up the good work! :)

As for your plan, Micelus, uhh... I think we should keep Ben out of sight when presenting his wife as a 'gift' to the lord. :P

I should be more clear on that, we're not going to let him near Lord Jameson until the ambush. Never the less, we can always use more silver on Ben. Besides, Arianne will only be with Lord Jameson temporarily. And Ben will only appear if there is no celebration or feast or such.

Return of the turn of Turn

                                                                                                     

The Next Day

You wake up just as the sun goes down, and you wish you could look at the sunset.  After a few minutes, you get up.  You see Kevin trying to patch up another hole in the roof.  You see Ben eating a piece of raw meat ( dirty werewolf ) with his hands, and the two girls are ( once again ) gossiping in the corner.  Will they ever run out of stuff to talk about?

No matter.  You prepare for your journey to Lord Jameson's castle. 

While flitting to the castle, you hear sounds of laughter and merriment coming from within the large, ornate building.  Apparently, there is a feast going on inside.  How fortunate. 

You sneak past the guards posted in front of the large, hardwood door.  Inside, various people, knights, servants, lords and ladies, why, is that the prince of Malanor over there?  This is quite the party.  And there is Lord Jameson, the man whom you intend to seduce ( not that way...)

With the patience of a crocodile, you wait while other humans of higher political stature ( but whom you could crush like a bug with your bare hands ) speak to Lord Jameson.  When most of them are done, you step up and greet him.

"Good evening, my lord.  My name is Drake Mordant."

"Hello..." he says, eyeing you, "Who may "Drake Mordant" be?"

"I am the occupant of the castle nearby, Castle Faux."

"Ah, that old wreck, how could you live in it?"

"The roof is being repaired as we speak."

He then promptly laughs, a hearty sound.  Then he composes himself, and gets right to business.

"So, Drake, what business do you have with me?  You are no merchant, seeking permission to trade.  You are no knight.  You are not a noble-"

"Ah, yes, but I do want to enter the world of politics." 

He smiles, having played this game with many young aspiring power-grabbers before.

"Listen, politics isn't as nice as it seems.  There are many-"

"You know, your title of "the beaut" is well deserved." you say in your sweetest voice.  You can already feel the barest corners of his mind, you must press onward.

"I dare say..." he says in an almost dreamlike state.

"You will listen to everything, do you understand?"

He nods, sleepily.

"I will get your aid, one way or another.  I am much more powerful than you think.  However, I do truly wish to seek your friendship, and so I will give you two gifts.  Meet me, alone, at the doorway, make sure there are no guards patrolling the halls.  Do you accept this invitation?"

He nods again.  Despite being hypnotized, you actually do feel some part of him still conscious, and this part of his mind was looking at an opportunity to gain something.  Typical politician.   

"Good."

You abruptly stop hypnotizing him, and walk out. 



Later that Evening

You have brought both Arianne and Rachel to the castle, carrying both like dolls, in order to save time.  They both giggle at being "handled" by you.  You ignore them.

Just as you expected, Lord Jameson is there, pacing the floor.

"You!  What did you do to me?"

"That is none of your concern of yours my lord.  Remember those gifts I told you about?"

He calms down for a second.  Here's your chance.

"Ladies, get acquainted with Lord Jameson."

The two women emerge from the shadows, flashing their most flirtatious smiles.  You can see that the lord is immediately smitten.  Perfect.

As he invites them to his bed chambers, you allow yourself a chuckle.  Those two girls would get more information out of Lord Jameson than any professional spy in the entire empire.  You'd best use whatever knowledge you gain to your advantage. 

                                                                                                 

Alright, the girls are busy at work, you can still do some stuff, if you want.  No need to feed, that's the day after tomorrow.  What shall you do?

That was rather...blunt.

Using our two seducers, get Lord Jameson to give you the funds to restore our castle.

Hmmm... How about we find a way of securing more funds, other than getting them from Lord Jameson? He might get suspicious after all.

Actually, how flexible/long-lasting is hypnosis?  Is it just good for immediate mind controlling, or can we cause more lasting effects?  Do werewolves get any special resistances to it?

Hypnotism doesn't have any lasting effects once you stop hypnotizing them.  That's why it's only useful to stuff like feeding.  Here, you used it to get Jameson to listen to you.  You cannot control him completely.  Oh, and yeah, werewolves are completely immune to this.
