We can reserve levels? OK, reserve both his and our levels.

level up in irish for us and chaos for bulk

[Pandarsenic]

Mini-update:

Bulk brings his Snazzy Red Scarf of Chaos over his shoulder and assumes a more relaxed stance. The two of you proceed to do some looting.

"38 silver... a Shitty Blue Scarf of Order... ehh, with all this blood soaked into it, that's basically ruined. I'll hold onto it for sacrificing but even you couldn't get any mileage out of it by this point," Bulk Vanderhuge narrates as he searches the Inquisitor's body. "Hmm... you managed to keep his helmet intact." He pulls the helmet off the corpse, wipes the blood away with a clean part of the Bloody Shitty Blue Scarf of Order (you suspect that's not a perfectly unbiased description but deem it unworthy of a dispute), and tosses it to you. You catch it and try it; it fits poorly and makes your brain feel fuzzy. You keep it for now, but don't wear it. "These dual blades... Cathayan? Probably. I've never seen someone who used them before, but I've heard of them." He tests their balance, then sheathes them and adds them to his pack since you're already carrying the rapier. He pauses, then decides to take the Inquisitor's Chain Mail while you're at it.

+38 Silver
1 Inquisitorial Helmet of Order
+1 Cathayan Dual Blade set
+1 Chain Mail

Finding yourself inconclusive, you decide to save your spontaneous power gains for later. You consider eating, but find your level-up has made you not feel hungry. Curious, indeed. You also find some Orange Chicken, and keep it though you haven't the slightest idea what to do with it.

"You're an interesting one," Bulk comments after concluding the looting. "I think I'll follow you. I never thought I'd see the day where the Crown Prince of the realm used an Order power to force Inquisition soldiers to strike themselves." He chuckles, then abruptly stops. "However, we may wish to make for a port now that they know we're here. If we wish to head north or east, Edinburgh's port opens tomorrow so we can find an inn to stay at overnight; barring that, we should head south now, sleep on the road." He walks back to the entrance of the secret passage and retrieves a large, bulging pack. "This has most things we should need," he explains as he slings it over his shoulder. "Anyway, I'll leave the choice to you but we can't stay here for long if we want to avoid the Inquisition. They'll be sending out larger teams now, I imagine." He waits for you to name a destination.

Umm i forget. Which way were we heading originaly? Regardless I say we go  south. I'm looking a map of england and my favorite places to head to based on how cool their names are and their proximity to edinburgh are 1st SUNDER-land where we will do much sundering, 2nd THe isle of Man for we are so manly, and finaly the furthest away from us, liverpool where will remove many livers.The other option is going somewhere where chaos is strong. apparently london is the seat of order so maybe we should avoid it. Or burn it to the ground.

[micelus]

Staying in the British Isles sounds dangerous. Take a ship to Denmark.

[Pandarsenic]

"Well, there are nice places in England, or we could go to Denmark..." you muse.

"Edinburgh port it is, and off to Denmark come sunrise," Bulk interrupts. "Now let's get off the streets."

You may ask Bulk any questions you have now that you're out of danger. Otherwise, it's a matter of choosing a suitable inn on your meager budget and waiting out the night.

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

Why Should we pay when we can just use VOA to get a room? We should save our fund where we can as passage to denmark will likely be expensive, But we should see about selling that helm of order. I think it could function as a tracking device for order troop or it could be some other kind of plot element and we all know those things are bad news.

[Pandarsenic]

Just don't forget that you can only regenerate your Order power by doing things that support Order. It's a rather limited resource if you continue being Chaos-dedicated.

[SirBayer]

Order can stab itself. With its own weapons. Like we did before.

Go to Edinburgh, secure dwellings peacefully if possible and Irishly if not, go to Denmark. Denmark... has... what does Denmark have? Ask Bulk if he knows what Denmark has. Also if he has any friends who might want to come along.

[micelus]

Denmark=Vikings

Vikings go to:
                    Constantinople
                    America
                    Spain

BAY12 Y U FORCE PREMATURE POST

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

Haha i read that and thought my internet was crapping out when it stopped half way so i hit F5 and your angry and screaming

BAY12 Y U FORCE PREMATURE POST

Hysterical. Your suffering is the best humor. or as Mel Brooks said. "tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you walk into an open sewer and die."

[Pandarsenic]

You're not totally sure about what's in Denmark. You ask Bulk.

"Trollblood Vikings, Aesir Necromantics, and the Jotunn tribes," he replies quietly as you head for the docks. You ask him to tell you more.

"The Vikings are a warrior culture, with a fixation on honor. Since about a century ago, the Vikings are Trollbloods - as a coming-of-age ceremony, they slay a troll, bottle its blood, bring it back, and perform a ritual to gain its regenerative powers and superhuman strength; the greater the troll they can slay, the more potent the blood that empowers them. I can't tell you how, though: my knowledge of the Arts Arcane is largely restricted to the theorycraft of British Empire Battlecasters and some simple alchemy. Information on Viking Seithr is even more elusive than information on Irish Druidic rituals. If they even still exist. But that's it's own question. The Trollbloods gain some Chaos alignment when they undergo that ritual, which puts them at odds with the Aesir despite their close ties to each other. Oh, and try not to fight their Berserkers. They're half the reason the British Empire has never invaded them.

"The Aesir are a circle of a small number of supernaturals of some kind, with a penchant for raising the dead and claiming divinity. The 'Einherjar,' raised warriors, are their primary soldiers. Their Valkyries raise fallen enemies mid-battle; Empire scholars have yet to determine the precise nature of their control. Of course... they're strongly Order-aligned. I'll let you complete that thought. Honestly, most of what it comes down to is that I wish I knew more about them but the more I learn the more I fear them.

"Jotunn are an interesting sort. They're human-like giants, some said to have been the size of mountains in ages past. Not sure I believe that, to be frank. What I do believe is that they're one of the most powerfully Chaos-aligned species in existence; the Chaos builds in them over time until it overflows like someone tried to empty a pitcher into a cup. When that happens, their bodies mutate, often in shocking or unpredictable ways. Lucky ones get claws, unlucky ones get extra heads to argue with."

You raise an eyebrow at him.

"I like to read," he adds defensively.

[micelus]

So we have a genius bruiser at our side, eh? Well that ends it, we're heading for Denmark!

Head to the docks and hire a ship to Denmark. Or find a Viking ship and get hired.
