Hey. There was mention of Barbarians among factions some time ago. Does that mean that somewhere in normal British goverment there is a clerk with Orks anchor?

Finally! Questions! (flaps wings happily)
The barbarians are, indeed, the muggles, because they're nonmagical. The true spread of the quest is the 5 magical factions + barbarians (following HoMM4 here). Of course, they won't run around with bared torsoes and only wearing fur loincloths, As for the anchor, it hasn't yet been picked up but it exists. In fact, you've assisted to its creation a few chappies ago! Well, not you since you've just jumped in, but you et what I'm saying. Welcome, btw!

Oh yes. I have SO MANY QUESTIONS!
First. I cannot help but think that quest for TEAR OF ASHA was rather underwhelming. I mean, in HoMM V it was rather useful artefact. Even if in this quest +5000 gold is merely pocket change, 50% population growth and stat boost is nothing to sneeze on.
Second. Those artefacts from the begining, especially Amulet of Free Will. Do we need to equip them, or is it always assumed that we are wearing them all?
Third. Where is crafting options? What are all those ingredients for? Do we need some HoMM building for this?
Forth. How much is it righteous Sue bashing and how much is it really bad dice rolls in Aife's misfortune?
Fifth. Just thought of it. If there is Tear of Asha... Are there Asha and Urgash? Can we get Elemental Dragon (Ylath for Air says wiki) to join our faction?
Sixth. The Deathly Hallows. Do they exist? How powerful Elder Wand is in relation to HoMM magic? It's wielder said to be unbeatable in straight fight. Oh! Is there Antropomorphic Personification of Death?
That is all. For now...

Yaaay~More questions! I love discussions!
I was underwhelmed too when you guys got 5 90+ rolls in a row and essentially murdered that questline. So I called it quits and decided Dace was a filthy cheating cheater who delegates his work to minions ( tbf, they're here for that). I adjusted money levels because as you've probably seen, the prices to get dwellings ( and recruiting) have been changed. And The Tear of Asha/Grail building gets a flavor bonus that wil come in handy real soon. I mean, all the other factions are going after it and looking for it everywhere, if you're going to have to fight to keep it, may as well make it worth it, hm?
Somewhere. Something. Yes. You guys are still in tents right now, the rampart isn't built yet, and Dace's lab back at the manor went boom too. So gotta wait to milk that bloodline trait for what it's worth, specially since you've chosen Ollivander's lessons too.
Still, things are looking up for her. Though, I'm afraid this isn't anything good for you, for entirely different reasons.
But hey, possible husbando for Chibi down the line!
Before you ask, since Dace was supposed to be a tutorial character and di shortly after, he's following the H3 'skill tree' to keep it simple (But then, he got a 95 on his Heartbreak syndrome survival roll. THen managed to diplomance Riddle into not murderizing him on the spot, then managed to avoid the instakill traps around the Necropolis, then the dragons roasted the assassins the Overlord sent, then there was a morale proc that allowed for double dragon attack to roast the vamps before they got to attack. Gramps be hard to kill outside of direct combat e_e).
Once again, there's gonna be a complete overhaul of the information section once the rampart gets created and I can finally call the prologue finished . All the others follow H4.
Save for Riddle, because He's got the Elder wand, so he's got them all.
which is why you'd do well to keep him out of fights if you want him alive, and I offered the option to act on the rumor mill as a compensation.
As for Death? Well, what do you think Riddle needs all that divine power for?

The latter. Makes it easier for my rolls.

Mix of both. The 2 in intrigue gave her terrible plotting maluses, then there was a nat 1 followed by a 2. THen Lily went she hulk on her after her nat 1, so now Aife is on... Hm, let's call it, a Quest :3
Still, things are looking up for her. Though, I'm afraid this isn't anything good for you, for entirely different reasons.

Due to the reason why Homm and HP magic are incompatible ( AKA, what happened between HoMM3 and 4 happened, yet again, for reasons I won't disclose quite yet), they aren't there no. Reason the tear even works is because the nature of magical energy is similar. Some people objected rather violently to their tentative of 'invasion'. Don't forget the gods are still a thing here too.
Yes, they exist. The elder wand is roughly equal to a bastard child of a Staff of the Lyre (H7) and the staff of Death (H4) who also acts like a skeleton key that bridges Hp and HoMM magic together.

I suspected something of that nature. I don't think i ever saw that many high succeses and low failures as in this quest. Exciting!
So our ex-daughter success may lead to husband candidate for our mini-Scathach? Wonder why I am not glad. Hmm... Let Scathach Sr have a go at him first.
Btw. Did we disown Aife after trial or not?
Are they only Earth gods? From what mythology? There was mention of Andraste, my first thought was Dragon Age, but wiki said its Romans. So, Rome, Norse... Death. Hmm. Can WE get divine powers?
Edit: Andraste was British. Need to be more attentive.
Well, now we can sick Scathach Sr on our enemies.
"You think I will fight your figths for you? Such audacity." - Scathach Sr
"Grandaughter! Expression number four! Quick!" - Dace
"Yes! Pleeeaaase, b-big sister..." - mini-Scathach
"Ugh... puppy dog eyes. My only weakness!" - Scathach Sr

That's my dice in a nutshell. I don't count the overflows because that kills the game, but at least, you don't get less than a nat 1 either. (Because yes. Several people had negative scores.)
The turn where I deactivated the rumor mill? You got Nat 100 and Nat 1 almost back to back. I couldn't handle such extremes so I closed it for the turn. Figured you'd have enough on your plate with Riddle preparing to murder you without having to deal with what a nat 1 entails. Considering what happened with Lily I would have had to think about how to top it.
Nnnope. Dace was waiting for an excuse since she mindwhammied her way to innocence, so I didn't put the option, because Dace disinheriting her right after he incriminated her in the murder of her own husband would be suspicious at best. Remember that because of the adventure at dragon-land, he's been out of commission and couldn't testify himself, that in itself would raise a few flags.
Hmmmm I'm going to answer yes to that, but this'll need to be taken with a grain of salt. Several, including greek, norse, zoroastrian, british, and hindu. Dace cannot get them no, Scath Jr can, but the number of hoops you'd have to jump through without going the genocire route, and then the whole 'survive all the previous gods trying to kill you you uppity mortal'.... Would have been a whole lot easier with shishou. You've got 2 - 3 gods trying to ruin Dace, and one of them is pushing to kill off all the line, so you can't handle the heat right now.
Truer than you think. She's already over 20 diplo and it's still rising.

I love the idea that Dace was supposed to die like a dozen times already, but just keeps on narrowly avoiding it. Like, there's a Grim Reaper out there just being driven to drink because everything fails. If the Death tree lets Riddle summon Death, then there needs to be an Omake about how salty he is that Riddle keeps fucking up and not killing this single old man.
Hell, there was even that party that Riddle killed everyone at, that we avoided going to, that I can't recall actually giving off vibes of "you ded if you go". Dace just keeps dancing through the raindrops here, when you stop and think about it. Are we sure that he doesn't have the divine favour of one of those tricky dicks? One that's just sitting around laughing at all the other goddesses getting gimped by Riddle while her mortal is just trolling everyone?

After the third time that happened, I told myself 'screw it, why not, he'll be more interesting that the wonderful adventures of a toddler anyways'.
I'll give a +30 bonus if written right, haha.
Oh no, he went there alright, except that he was already nature aligned, detected the undead nearby and since he already (barely) escaped the necropolis trap, he decided to get the hell out of dodge when the trap sprang. He's the only one who survived attendance.
No, that's the beauty of it, he's 100% Human power, no positive divine interference for now, even though he has attracted positive attention of some.
Andraste be busy clockblocking their deus ex attempts for now though. More on that depending on which extra you guys choose this time.

-[X] Trials! Trials everywhere! Don't look at him like that, he's the victim here!
Dace was sitting in the courtroom as if he owned the place, lounging leisurely and joking with Lucius about their next bit of entertainment. The young man, always happy to help when it comes to annoying people aligned with Dumbledore, was relaxed. It seemed like people finally forgot that Lucius bribed his way out of Azkaban and stopped talking where he could hear. Or they were too scared after he ruined the third business belonging to people who offended him.
It wasn't very subtle, but Dace supposed it got the job done. He looked with interest as the now one-armed James Potter entered, the very picture of wounded dignity. His green eyes met with the bespectacled man's own hazel, and the looks exchanged were one of pure hatred, and the other, amusement. Potter did a double take before glaring harder, which made Dace smile politely and tilt his head in false incomprehension, which did wonders to needle the other man. Ah, how he missed annoying people by offering them basic courtesy. He felt his tension leave and relaxed in his seat.
Dace then looked around, ignoring the irate man in favor of looking for a certain somebody who wasn't there. It seemed Dumbledore was true to his words and didn't try to protect them from judgement. What was strange though, was that at the end of the room, near the entrance, Dace could see a black silhouette clad in a black cloak. Nothing of them was visible, save for the unnatural pallor of their skin. There went his good mood. The undead even infiltrated here? He was glad he didn't throw his lot in with the Ministry, if that were the case.
However, this caused a complication, for if the Ministry was compromised, so was Dumbledore, to a certain extent. Which meant that should something happen, he wouldn't be able to count on reinforcements. After all, it would be trivial to engineer an incident somewhere else and go for the kill in the meantime. Especially if Riddle and the Overlord struck a ceasefire, like the lack of altercations between the both of them this winter may suggest... He hated it when his enemies were competent. More so when they were completely insane in a way that didn't impede their abilities in any way.
A stout woman, hair graying and big glasses set on her nose walked up towards James Potter and began speaking about him. How he was a respectable young man, a young father to a pair of twins, how him following Aife was a mistake due to youth, how it was truly Aife's fault, and she even began insinuating that the fault lied towards Dace for not being more strict with his daughter, as it was one of the regrets he expressed himself in that interview he had with Rita Skeeter.
Dace felt his smile become fixed.
Now now... That wouldn't do. That wouldn't do at all...
What does Dace do?
[] Let it go, he has more things to worry about than a mere trial
[] Well, he can't very well let them go unscathed after this, right?
[] Ruin them. He may not be as active as he used to be in the political arena, but he was still a force to be reckoned with.
Due to having sufficiently taunted and gloated in front of his enemies, Dace loses trait stressed. + 2 SL Lucius.

-[X] Train. You hate doing it, and it hates you back, but if it makes Madeye shut up, you'll do it.
Dace didn't know what possessed him into taking the bait Moody presented, but in his defense, having his agility compared to that of a legless, arthritic goblin would get on anyone's nerves! Which was why he was currently at the feet of Yr Wyddfa, where the grizzled auror was scolding him for everything he had done wrong. Well, trying to.
"And what's this I hear about you being poisoned in your own house?! You should have known better than to drink something given to you by an enemy!"
"I had a tooth hollowed out and filled with a generic cure-all."
A vein on Madeye's forehead was beginning to twitch, expressing his immense annoyance.
"Here is what I have to say to you Gwallawg." He whipped out his wand, almost faster than what the eye could see and bellowed "CONST- "
Dace snapped his fingers and curtains of fog blocked out their sight. He then swiftly moved, barely avoiding a scarlet jet of energy, before dropping on his fours, all of Madeye's spells trying to reach for him, herding him towards a position that would have caused his loss had he remained on his feet. Secretly, he was glad this blocked off the ex-auror's eye, because of the indignity. Well, not that he really cared about that above results, but he had an image to maintain. With one last look at Moody's general direction, he steadily advanced on his fours, ignoring the bellows of Madeye calling for him to fight him like a man and, when he reached safe distance, he escaped the fog, got up and threw another vial.
Normally, the fog would be inert, even if it couldn't be seen through with magical means, but once the vial's contents is added the fog becomes of a powerful knock out gas. After he heard Moody fall to the ground, he lifted the trap, revealing a snoring Moody.
Perhaps, before talking about 'constant vigilance', he'd check his surroundings for nonmagical booby traps, next time.
He felt rather proud of himself and walked back to camp, only to see his ancestor with his granddaughter on her shoulders. The woman grinned at him, white teeth gleaming in the sunlight.
"Well then, what do we have here, cutting out classes, brat?"
She didn't really let him explain before she proceeded to 'beat the hooligan out of him' as an 'educational example for his granddaughter'.
Several hours later, he almost crawled into his bed after applying some salve for his bruises and mused that perhaps he preferred training with Moody over that. Still, he had learned an important lesson.

April 12th, 1984
-[X] Ollivander has finished rifling through your mother's wands and now wants to teach you how to make wands because 'so much natural talent wasted is a crime against wizardkind and you should be ashamed not to use it!'. Seriously, what was it about you that made crazy old men nag at you all the time?
Sitting gingerly to avoid aggravating the results of yet another beating from his grandmother's loving hands, he looked around him. Usually the mountains were only barely covered in grass when it wasn't snow, yet, the Treant's exodus led them to begin developing one there. Through holes in the shrubs, he could see wildlife, like wolves and moon does looking at him stealthily. Unblinking. And unmoving. This was slightly unnerving to be honest. Even more so since some of those wolves were apparently brought into existence by his granddaughter and nobody knew why.
Still, the most unnerving here was by far Ollivander himself. The man looked nothing like a well put-together shopkeeper, his clothes were instead a simple brown robe, and his silver hair resembled a crow's nest, or at least a bowtruckle's with the odd branch or leaf sticking out. He'd been spending quite a bit of time outside despite the temperature and looked almost manic at times, carrying with him branches of diverse sizes and forms while muttering things nobody could hear.
Dace was fairly certain, as the older man sat on the ground in front of him, that it was the Nature influencing him. Well that, and the fact that his greatest love always was, and always would be wandmaking. Speaking of which...
"Wands, are works of art. Each wand I made, I remember in the tiniest details, the size, the grain of the wood, the weight... There is no wand identical to another, each and every one of them is unique, and therefore each and every witch and wizard is the perfect fit to one wand for their whole life. However, the only way to ensure that perfect match, is to create it yourself, young Dace." Ollivander produced Dace's wand, that he hadn't even remarked was absent from the holster in his sleeve and held it to the light.
"My whole life I strove to find what were the best ingredients to make a perfect wand, and I managed to find three reasonably well supplied. Unicorn hair, phoenix feather and Dragon heartstring. There were more possible cores, but Basilisks and other such creatures were much too rare for me to have access to them. Such a pity..." He gazed into the forest, eyes lost in thought, before he snapped out of it again.
"In your particular case, you are well attuned to your wand, in no little part due to the fact your mother was its creator. Cedar and Dragon heartstring. Cedar is a wood that responds well to people with strong character and stronger loyalty. If memory serves, you were in Hufflepuff, were you not? " Dace grunted noncommittally and Ollivander continued. " It tends to favor perspicacity and perception and its holders tend to be rather... Frightening opponents if crossed, for loyalty and perception tend to be oft overlooked qualities that greatly surprise one's opponent. " His knowing, cloudy eyes were almost seeing through Dace at this point, who was wondering why exactly he agreed to this.
"Dragon heartstrings as a general rule produce powerful wands that allow for quick learning of spells. They tend to form strong bonds to their owners, however, they are also the easiest to win over in a fight, for dragons only acknowledge strength and dominance, and this trait carried over to the wands themselves, who also end up being quite temperamental." He chuckled, before waving Dace's wand, to no effect.
"However, in that case, the Cedar wood counters that effect, amplifying instead the power, to the detriment of the wand's ability to work with anyone else. This was clearly an intended feature I found in several other wands made by Bridget. However, I do not think this is the best match for you. No, no... In fact..." The younger man looked slightly offended now.
"No, you promise to be my trickiest customer by far. " A light of unholy glee was animating the man, whose body language was beginning to become erratic." Such a walking contradiction, such an inner turmoil. There is anger, so much of it, only held at bay by ironclad determination. A soul that only ever knew darkness and yet refused to answer its siren's call... No, young man, yours will be a wand made with a phoenix feather to serve you as a guide... As for the wood... Perhaps laurel. Or maybe even..." His maniacal grin almost reached his ears as the wind picked up making the living forest whisper." Yew."
+2 RP With Ollivander, Dace can now craft basic wands, ???/???

--[X] Investigate the necklace your wife sent you. It's obviously magical, but you don't know what it does.
It took him quite a while to understand what exactly it was. However, he finally found out. This necklace's effects were twofold. On one side, it strengthened any army its holder supported, on the other it reinforced their charm and fertility. The downside is that it could only be worn by women. At least it wasn't cursed. Now, where did her hear about a necklace like that before... He'd need to investigate.

Getting Too Old For This...

*snorts* Called it.~ Dace is way too laid back to be a Slytherin, not obsessive enough to be a Ravenclaw, and lacks the typical bold-as-brass bluster of a classic Gryffindor. He's also surprisingly friendly, good to his allies, and has a very strong sense of decency for someone so sneaky and underhanded. The only thing missing is the bit about hard work, but even though Dace grumbles about it he's clearly no stranger to working his tail off to get what he wants.

He did create an equivalent to magical university, was toying with the Idea to create a magical preschool, is in charge of several businesses, personally attends recruitment interviews, maintains an extensive network of informants and still has time to have family dinner every evening.
Being Lawful Neutral is everything to him since, you know, Heartbreak Syndrome. Hat sent him to the Nicest, most patient, friendliest bunch so that he could learn how to people.

Dace can never really resist messing with people, especially if they go and poke the bear. Also don't want to go full tilt and make a scene when the undead have infiltrated everything around us it seems. Have to keep one eye open for them. But I have to ask, how is it that NOBODY has released the pasty looking guy isn't just pale irishmen but a corpse. Are they just trying not to bring up his skin condition for fear of offending him?
But yeah, proper timing because I feel it synergizes with his intrigue more and the necklace to his grand daughter because she seems to be summoning herself an army theses days so might as well give her something to help manage it.

Glamours strong enough to fool your average wizard, and the corpse staying on the edges of the room to avoid attracting attention. Since the Dementors of Azkaban have disappeared for unknown reasons (cough), and since the ministry's got fires to put out everywhere, it's okay. Dace noticed because ever since that Necropolis close call, and that little problem at the scholar's reunion, he's on the lookout for them and gets an Intrigue check to detect them every time there's one of them ( hi Death sense)

Hm. Seems Ruining is the most popular option. as is giving the necklace to chibi, bright lady and opportunity attacks.

Also, this may be unrelated, but think of the different reactions as the quantity of time and effort Dace will spend on it. The guys who are Paranoid about AP Hell will understand next turn.

The maid fight was supposed to last 30 words, but I had so much fun with the Moody-trained CQC Specialist Terminator Meido Martha ( who may or may not be a Ruler Martha expy) that I just rolled into existence that it lasted much longer, like 1010 words longer. She was just supposed to be a mook; but she was so interesting, like Dace and Oliver, so why not? Besides, the rolls back then were 116 (maids) vs 122 (Aife's group), with all bonuses already counted in, it was still rather close and I hope it showed! It's good training for fight scenes! I'm not good with them, so if you guys have any advice / remarks about it, don't hesitate to speak up! I'm a bird, I have no teeth to bite you with
Also, Aife fails at being a proper shounen hero. Much sad. On another news, the train still has no brakes!
This chapter is 3x as long as originally intended. My bad.

I dread to see what that woman would do in next misguided attempt to become proper Mary Sue.
Also it's good to know that Aife didn't just roll over all our defences. Though I still can't understand how Dace didn't hear all that commotion.
All these references to king Arthur make me think that you wanted players to choose Nasu crossing to include Saber.

Because charms on the door to not be disturbed during therapy session.
Nah, I was really ambivalent on that one. It was mostly because one of my minions wanted shishou as ancestor, but balance. The Arthur plotline was planned to go mostly the same, no matter the cross. Depended on whether you'd have to Fight Protosaber/Protomordred ( depending on your choices) or OGArthur/OGMordred ( depending on choices).
Personnally I was leaning against, because adjusting the mechanics behind protocalibur and protoclarent would have been a pain, anti-fortress NP and all.

Weeell. Since we're a bit deeper in the game, and since it seemed to be a good time, time to unleash... the full action list. Do you have enough AP, player?
Tents are still uncomfortable. Especially since that old witch is around.
Still, there was quite the surprise, as when one day you were trying to train your strength you saw one of your head maids...

[]Chloé : Ranged type, sniper disposition.

Almost shaking you down so that you'd order her to do something because being paid to do nothing for over a year didn't sit well with her. A dit dazed (because dear lord, she's strong...), you absentmindedly ask her to clean the mess Agatha's explosions caused, which she ran towards, almost cackling.

Learning: Actions: 2 (1+Learning over 25)
You're not letting anyone not from your family handle those books. Ever. You'll have to wait until either Elizabeth finds herself a newfound passion for reading, or until little Scáthach decides paper isn't for eating and learns to read. You have a feeling the latter will come earlier.
[] The old tales are sometimes true. Brush up on your knowledge, after all each time something supernatural happened, a wizard was behind it. Variable results, autopass, may be taken multiple times.
[]Survey the land. You'll never know what you can fins by running around, but at the very least, you'll know the land's map.
70 / 40 / 30 chances of success. May be taken multiple times.
Mysticism: Advisor: Agatha: Actions: 2 (+30 to rolls)
It stings a bit that you're just on the lower spectrum of powerful, but you'll deal. After that unpleasantness this summer, you've learned how much you are limited, however, and this displeases you. This displeases you greatly. On other news, Agatha's work with more... Enthusiastic...Colleagues of hers is continuing at a steady pace. It would be easier if she could give up on those 'Tolkien elves', but at this point, Dace'll take her just keeping the explosions away from camp.
[] Rampart: Step one (must complete all of those to unlock step 2) (Restores Rumor Mill)( You really should take it)
-[V] Find a suitable location.
-[V] Find a full roster of Nature-themed creatures.
-[] Build basic fortifications: Pay 30 000 G, 30 wood, 30 stone. (0/30 000, 0/30, 0/30)
-[V] Investigate the Nature Anchor
[] Y Ddraig Aur. He emerges once every thousand years and is currently chewing on a few cows in what remains of your backyard, but this time, it was early. Why?
[] Screw you Tolkien. Agatha tried and tried again. This time, she agreed that if the two of you work on it, if it fails again, she will give up and you'll be free to recruit other creatures in their stead. If it's a success, well, you'll have supernatural snipers.
40 / 30 / 10% Chances of success
[]Where the wind blows. Dace will train hiw wind magic affinity.
30% Chances of success.
Personal: Actions: 6 (1 + Stewardship Advisor + Diplomacy Advisor + Mysticism advisor + 2 Martial advisors)
[] Spend time with one of your SLs: +2 RP
-[]
-[]Write-in (must be SL)
[] Personal supervision. Supervise an action from the other sections. Gain +10 to rolls if Martial, Stewardship or Diplomacy action, +20 if Leaning or Mysticism action, +30 if Intrigue action. (May be used multiple times, but not on the same actions.)
[] Train. You hate doing it, and it hates you back, but if it makes Madeye shut up, you'll do it.
[] Extra action. Use your own free time to do stuff. (May only be taken once, may be used as substitute for AP)
[]Personal development:
-[] Way of the Alchemist: You're the best at potions, you know it, they know it, but there's still a lot of things to learn...
-[] Way of the Architect: You worked yourself from the ground up, but there is always much more to be done
-[] Way of the Whispers: Shadows are your home, your tool and your defense. However, with recent events, they may need to become your weapon.

@LordPenguin, if we choose to finish the rampart this turn will we also be able to build a dwelling and an infrastructure building this turn?
- Location
- At the computer
Yes, this is why I still put them up with just the warning.

[X]Martha : Brawler type, QCQ Monster.
I am open to adjusting actions according to suggestions.
[X] A New Home
Reasoning:
Diplomacy: Dumbledore and Rufus for more help
Stewardship: Develop land to increase income and get new resource. Building materials since we need a source of wood and stone. Tavern for more information on when people will try to kill us in our own home, again.
Martial: Hiring more security staff since we obviously need some more help. Continue training druids. Built cheap dwelling. Military expedition is time limited and high chance of success.
Intrigue: Personal supervision on Aife's plot since she's very dangerous and it's time limited and continue to train up Scáthach
Learning: One on each action
Mysticism: Finish rampart and personally supervise to try and get elves because supernatural snipers sound awesome
Personal: Continue Lily therapy, get Lucius SL up to level 6 which will probably give us some bonus. Train for personal defense and take architect since Dace has to do a lot of building up for his faction in the future.
