We learned something new today. Networking and cowing weaklings into submission is the same thing. When I voted for that option I thought we would go for a more charismatic/backstabbing way. Not terrify grown men like a real life boogeyman. Oh well.
To be fair, it was a bad idea to go there from the start, since, you know, you didn't even bother to contact Walburga. And now she died. So yeah, her son's pretty hostile and Dace simply doesn't have the necessary skills to smooth it over, and since Elizabeth's back in America since the divorce, she couldn't help you for that...
Lucius tried, at least, so your reputation didn't take a hit.
So... We lost a major battle to Riddle, lost our Rampart Heroes 3 thing and signed a contract with a death goddess, right? If not for the last thing, I would have been incredibly disapointed that our Heroes were brought back to life. I want Riddle to win this one - he seems to work for his wins.
If it makes you feel better, and as some players have begun to guess, this will come with rather
heavy costs down the line. Also, Cherry's color is purple. It's kinda important if you reread the last couple of updates. Disappointed that the detail hunting squad didn't jump on that. And Riddle's gonna come back in a few turn and when he does, he won't try to attack you with a scouting party.
I would point out that we technically won, twas however a pyrrhic victory.
As in, this should never happen again or we're screwed kind of victory .
Nah, it clearly was a loss, it was
Martha's solo win, and since in later battles, you're gonna control her...
Edit: Also the Rumors spread :
Joker
Mysterious hooded person.
