Shit, no it wasn't we're 2 points off being close enough for an omake bonus to kick in.

So, I decided to close the vote and start rolling. However, since you chose to hire enough people internally to fill half the Council, you gain an extra Bonus!

I don't suppose that extra bonus is enough to give two points to the dwarf action? Or, alternatively, if there's a bounty we could do to tip it over?

    Mini-Vote: What Did He See New
  • Threadmarks
    • While none of these would have actually happened, I'm adding some extra flair, and maybe a story beat.

    Yet-To-Be saw something, when you were about to choose someone for your Occult Advisor. What did he see?

    [ ] A woman you just chosen, not even five minutes later turning around and contacting her true master: The Rat-King of London!

    [ ] So, it turns out the person you chose to just brought his kid Nicholas with him. The same Nicholas the Shop told you about.

    [ ] You got into a fight with Spring-Heeled Jack. It made the news on the BBC.

    [ ] You see yourself cradling Wesley's lifeless and fading body, taking a hit meant from you from an Angel.

    [ ] She wouldn't take your offer. In fact, she's retiring to the Bermudas!

    Even if this doesn't actually happen due to prophecy avoidance, this would give us more info about Nicholas so we can better help him.

    TL note: keikaku means plan

    i'd like to see this, because Wesley doesn't really *have* a physical body in the first place? like maybe they meant ghost body, but it's still weird?

    no, you're thinking of the bahamas, these are the bermudas lmao
    and even if it was the bahamas you could expect some Polynesian mythological figures right? (at first i read bahamas too and was abut to mention only them lol)

    just pick what sounds funniest, i think this is for fluff?
     
    Sounds like the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come is helping us avoid the critical failure, but we still get to see what it could have been.

    Rattagin? WHat's he doing here?!
     
    [X] You got into a fight with Spring-Heeled Jack. It made the news on the BBC.

    I'm curious as to how the Beeb will screw up reporting an old man getting beat up on the street. Will it go more for law-and-order-type authoritarianism, racist or anti-immigrant demagoguery, human interest puff piece?

    But also gonna approval-vote to continue this narrative thread:

    [X] So, it turns out the person you chose to just brought his kid Nicholas with him. The same Nicholas the Shop told you about.

    A lot of good options here.

    In the Caribbean? I rather doubt it.

    Also, "the Bermudas" isn't really a thing. Bermuda is a singleton island.

    fair, i mostly just wanted to say something in the vein of "island tiki gods" but less culturally insensitive :V
    feel free to replace it with any zany beachside happenings of your choice, my main point was that there's *plenty* that can go wrong on an otherwise nice holiday in a work of fiction

    (and hey, the post said "the Bermudas", don't blame me. don't blame the author either though, it could always be the case that it's an island chain in this universe due to divergences/magical shenanigans after all? you can just do things like that in stories)
