I keep hitting the little box next to posting. This time was especially bad because I noticed that I had done it, went to click off of it, and hit post by accident.
Well, the Manuel tally function would still count the vote's cast after the point where you "closed" the vote and that "closing" isn't actually a binding contract so its really up to you.
Flapping your wings, you land on the cart with your tail feathers splayed over the head of an unsuspecting man. The moment you land, however, the wood creaks and the cloaked man swivels your way.
Each of his glossy eyes bears three pupils. A monstrosity if you've ever seen one before. The cloak shifts and seems to almost... throb? It's then that you realize the material; human skin.
A shudder of revulsion passes over you as you tear your woozy gaze away and back to the sheet-covered cart. Right, back to work.
Slipping beneath the sheet, you're treated to a sight that sends your owly brows sky high.
A fully functional version of that arrow-launching machine. Not only that, but it's being delivered alongside a supply of... arrows.
Arrows with a myriad of different tips. Some have jars, others shine with iron, a few have dangling sacks tied to them, and one has some kind of needle on the end.
You do have an open slot for capacity...

AN: I accidently closed the vote way too early, so let's see if we can't do a third today, eh?
Giving siege weaponry to bandits... that's interesting. One wonders how much use they'd get out of it, banditry usually being a hit-and-run sort of business. Strengthens my opinion that the "bandits" are here to gather strength before Horra makes some sort of move on the valley as a whole.
It's also possibly these things will get shuttled back to the vikingrs home country for some nefarious purpose there. Isn't Horra outlawed? Maybe he's planning on going back in force with new allies?

Well, we wanted evidence. Also, this is hopefully the last time we need to spy on these people with Hidden In Rags. We can leave pretty much immediately afterwards.

They aren't exactly siege weaponry. They're scorpion sized and those were specifically designed as mobile field artillery to use against other soldiers. What they are is a way to take out more powerful cultivators even if you yourself aren't super impressive. That's pretty useful for bandits, honestly.
Our fylgja is heavily loaded with defensive options, plus EWC for mobility and the ability to vanish into the spirit world as soon as it gets behind a tree, we can survive getting attacked long enough to escape with the evidence.
How strong evidence is the machine?
Would "I saw through my Fylgjas eyes this being transported from Horras farm to a bandit camp and then stole it from the bandits, I also saw though my Fylgjas eyes things like this being massproduced" be enough to have a good chance at court?

I mean, we're being specifically told it's evidence, so probably. It's probably not strong evidence of the dwarven connection, but it's literally a weapon they were giving to bandits when we took it, so it's evidence of them arming a bandit group, and the stuff we overheard is evidence they were doing it at Horra's command. Like, we literally can't have stronger physical evidence of 'they were arming bandits' than this.
Yeah, there's no way he can conceal the infrastructure to make something like this. And if we're right about him doing anti-dwarf weapons, then the evidence of that would likely be found at the same time.
I hope we can talk to the dwarves again soon. If we find out that some of the Ducklings are being petrified below ground, well, we would have two ends of that thread, and that would help.
