I'm a High Fantasy Tax Collector, So What? A CKII Tax Collector Quest

[X] West, to the port city of Cille.

Lets work ourselves up the river, trapping the traitors between us and the monsters flowing out of the woods.

So when she asks where the armaments of the city are, the arsenals and the hidden arsenals and the last resorts of the houses, people overturn every floorboard to find them. Houses compete for her favor by revealing stockpiles of weaponry to resist these Beasts of Autumn, as the artisans of the streets turn from crafting chairs to crafting spears in endless endless toil. Even candle wax runs short in the city as everyone works longer and harder than anyone thought possible, guild masters going to their artisans to sheepishly follow through on their promises only to find that the artisans have put their wildly exaggerated claims to shame with their actual production. When she calls for heroes to join the militia, hordes of eager young men and women pour into the service, emboldened by her praise and driven forward by their comrades-in-arms.

By the end of the month, all of the Merridge City Guard held as prisoners has spontaneously committed "suicide", as their corpses are found more bruised mangled pieces of flesh rather than bodies.

The look on the mob's faces frightens you.

Almost as much as the cold red eyes of Ophelia.

Welp. Looks like things are gonna get crazy. First, was the dragons prepping to betray the compact, then the plot on Oskaria by the traitors and other members of the compact. This is then followed by nature going crazy and mass empowerments of people around the country.....


How will the dice continue this escelation?
 
[X] West, to the principalities along the Bythnia.

I'm getting an ever-increasing feeling that when the current King dies Ophelia is going to be one of the major candidates to take the throne.

If there is a city on the western provinces whose loyalty must be assured, the city of Cille is a good fit. At the mouth of the Bythnia, this is one of the great stops between Etrellan and Oskarian trade, and is as wealthy to boot.

Hello Theocratic Oskaria!

I don't think that's how it works. The Compact isn't really designed to limit the degree of power that people give to a spirit.

Also, I'm thinking that "Sudden massive empowerment of heroes" plus "beasts of autumn, so you can get some experience in live combat" plus "massive upswing in patriotic fervor by the people (in the form of Oskaria-worship)" means that Oskaria is suddenly a much tougher nut to crack, even before you include the bit where we're seeking out traitors among the nobility.

Heh. In this world, Patriotism is no refuge for scoundrels at all.

Also, I get the feeling that "train Ophelia" is going to be an ongoing action sink... pretty much from here on in. Oskaria wants her Avatar, dammit... and I think we're going to wind up with quite a lot riding on Ophelia's ability to keep up with the demands. I'm... pretty much okay with that. The rate at which Oskaria Fixes Things is well worth the effort necessary to stay ahead of the curve.
 
Some info that HYGP mentioned on a discord we are both on. The counterrevolutionaries got a 7 on their d100 roll in the last update.
