That also went WAY better than I thought it would. I honestly thought you were delaying because it was game over.
I am kind of disappointed in Cynric though. I would have been holding a paralysis behind my back for exactly that moment.
I wanna know. Was Karin genuinely frightened or just shocked? She will probably move onto actual fear when we see her again.
I also love Karin and her Husbands parenting strategy. Locking someone in a room while only visiting to yell at them about... stuff? (you didnt say what they were lecturing her about.)
Lastly I am kind of curios now, how does Cynric feel about Louise? Initially it was extremely brutal and utilitarian, but now it seems to be brutal and utilitarian.
Now it kind of has shades of, I want Louise to have the magical opportunities I never had because people in my world were also assholes.

You would have died if you hadn't had enough magicka and Karin was more shocked than anything, she's faced vampires before(which is the only type of being that she knows can perform necromancy) and fled because she was weaponless against Quelana. Considering your injury, it is safe for her to assume you are dead and she is attempting to dismantle the gate in case you aren't.
The lecturing is obviously about her behavior... What with her gallivanting around the world and aiding in the desecration of human bodies/rampant slaughter of entire families.

Ah, I didn't know she used a rapier. All I know of FOZ comes from fanfic. I only knew she used a sword-wand, but I didn't know it was specifically a rapier.

Considering the things you had her doing on the 'training trip' to Albion, the medieval culture of her world and the class difference, her mother attempting to kill her mentor and then imprisoning her for 'crimes' that Louise feels are justified by her mother's own teachings... I wouldn't say out of character as much as the character she has grown into due to the experiences shes endured because of you. She isn't an innocent schoolgirl anymore, but it's not like she is laughing maniacally and slaughtering people for her own enjoyment.

I would be lying if I said I do not enjoy Cynric's antics. Even though I have initially argued against 'can't spell slaughter without laughter' attitude, we've made him so nonchalant about it, it crossed the line so hard that it got comical. And that became a Player Character's trait that I can't think of a way to get rid of.
Now, Louise is not a Player Character, so there are ways for her to develop differently; however, I don't think it'd be the case under our tutelage alone. Unless we acquire another character to come along with us under whatever pretense (Quelana?), there is simply no other people who could balance out our influence on Louise.
If people don't want her to become a murdermaiden, I suppose that could be an option.

When the pause drags on, you motion for her to continue. Looking uncertainly between you and her sister, she shakes her head in dismay. "My sister, Quelaag, was merely guarding this tower. I thought they had all lost their minds, no demon I have come across has shown reason. I-I would not have sent you if I only I had known. Our sister was trying to find some sort of cure before you fought... Queleah is very sick... it would seem that there was some sort of plague in the region and she... she..."
"Sacrificed herself so that I, and others like me, may live." The man on the floor interrupts, jaundiced skin weeping as his movement cause the skin of his face to crack. "Our Fair Lady, looking upon the wretched inhabitants of Blighttown and what they had become, took pity on me... swallowing the blightpus, despite Mistress Quelaag's orders to the contrary."
Raising an eyebrow, you make a show of inspecting the man. "Yes, I can see how healthy you look. She must be a very capable healer indeed."
Practically growling as he crawls toward you, the disgusting creature glares up at you. "Speak no ill of our Lady or you shall have me to contend with! My affliction is my penance... I serve the Fair Lady in whatever way I may to ease her burden. Were it not for my foolishness, she would not suffer so."
While you suppress your laughter at the threat, Quelana kneels before the man. "What did you do? No human sickness could harm my family."
"Mistress Quelana?" He asks in shock as he peers into her hood. "You... You have returned! I had heard rumors, but... not many remember the days of Izalith's glory, I was not sure if the stories were true. I-"
Impatience having won out, the witch slaps him across the face. "Focus! What did you do to my sister?"
"I-I did not intend... It was an accident, a mistake. I'm a pyromancer, you see... I was banished from the Great Swamp for my work on poison pyro-" His words were cut off as his body was engulfed in fire.
Both hands outstretched, Quelana sent forth twin gouts of fire. "It was you!" She snarls as the man screams in agony. "Perverter! Defiler! I gift your people with knowledge and you twist it into... into that! Now I learn you've turned it upon my own kin!" As she shouts, her flames grow more intense, the screaming dying long before she stops.
By the time she finishes, the room is uncomfortably hot and not a trace remains of the man other than a glowing stone floor where he once lay. Cautiously, you approach and put a hand on her shoulder. She doesn't seem to notice your presence as she stands there, staring down at the cooling floor she whispers. "It's my all fault."

Henrietta's Visit

Not an eldritch abomination

"Your Highness, I must insist you not continue this recklessness. Since our arrival, we've lost six men through either death or blindness with no explanation as to why. The only thing they have in common is their shared proximity to the girl's bedroom. She's dangerous." Agnes says as the two of them walk down the hallway toward Louise's bedroom. "I understand your feelings, but she is clearly not in her right mind after her time with that man."
"Enough! You and the Duchess have made your opinions on the matter quite clear." Halting her march to face the older woman, Henrietta smiles apologetically. "Ever since my coronation, you've been increasingly vocal of your worries for my safety. I'm thankful for your service, I truly am... However... This is something I must do, Agnes. I will be fine."
Looking at each other, the silence drags on for several moments before the blonde musketeer sighs. "Very well, your majesty, I shall wait for you outside. I pray you aren't making a mistake." Without another word, the woman heads back toward the staircase.
Once her bodyguard is out of sight, Henrietta sighs as well. "As do I." She whispers, turning to approach the door. Ordering the guard to unbar the door, she knocks and waits a moment before entering. There is a orange light coming from the corner, but it disappears so quickly that she's unsure it was there at all. Where the light was, Louise remains huddled in the corner with a look of shock on her face.
The surprise girl's gives way to confusion as Louise leaps forward to kneel before her. "Your Majesty! W-what are you doing here?"
"Louise Françoise... My friend... I'm so sorry." Pulling out the blade hidden beneath her cloak, Henrietta thrusts the weapon toward the kneeling girl. The sword closes the distance between the two girls in a flash, striking the pinkette just as she begins to raise her head.
Falling backward, Louise rubs her scalp. "Ow! What was that for?" She asks, the unexpected pain knocking all sense of etiquette from her as she looks up to see her sword-wand being held by the blade.
"Sorry!" Henrietta cries, fumbling the sword and almost dropping it on her foot. Barely managing to pull her foot out of the way as the sword embeds itself in the floorboards, the Queen trips and falls backward. Splayed out on the floor, the purple haired teen rolls over to look at her pink haired counterpart. "I came to help you escape!" She declares triumphantly, giggling as their eyes meet.
"Bwuh?" Louise asks, helplessly confused. Henrietta continues giggling at Louise's expression until the Valliere girl gets her wits together enough to speak properly. "Princess, I-I'm honored... but, why would you help me?"
Crawling to the other girl, Henrietta wraps her arms around her and explains. "Of course I'd help you, Louise. I made a promise, 'I'll always be there to help you out if you're in a bind', remember?"
"Bu-but we were just children, I couldn't ask your Majesty t-"
"Louise Françoise, you are my most cherished friend and even if I cannot officially go against the church to have you pardoned, I won't abandon you!" She said, cutting Louise's words off with a squeeze. "Father's passing was a painful surprise and there's just nobody I could open my heart to... First my father, then this awful business in Albion, followed by your disappearance... With all that's been going on lately... I've missed you so much!"
Feeling the other girl's arms wrap around her in a tentative hug, Henrietta fought back her tears and continued in a hushed voice. "Your mother mentioned that you're the cause of all the strange happenings in Albion... you and that mysterious teacher of yours killed so many people. It's terrible of me, but I-I'm grateful for what you did. I don't know what exactly happened, but you saved my beloved. I can never thank you enough, Louise."
"Princess... You don't need to risk yourself for me, I'll be alright on my own. I've been practicing." Louise argues.
Pushing the other girl far enough away to look her in the eyes, Henrietta glares at her. "It's Queen now and as your Queen, I order you to let me rescue you." Ignoring the shocked look on her friends face, she smiles. "Don't worry, we have a plan."
"We?" Louise asks weakly as a large creature skitters across the window, chitinous legs clicking against the glass.

You lack the ingredients to make a cure poison potion and the only cure disease ingredient you have is vampire ash. A restore health or regeneration potion would do nothing good for her.

What are the ingredients needed? (Are they part of the 'plantation' we started at Louise's?)
