I like Cubicle 7 supporting artists. They're not stingy with their money and they hire art contractors to provide plenty of images for their books. Their characters are also diverse in all manners, whether it's in terms of gender, features, age, physicality etc.
Not content with being a cobra, Qu'aph/Ranald decided to make a fursona when he moved up north.Oh, by the way, thought of another connection that might make the "The Lady is a Daughter" thing more likely, this time operating on a more meta level: Reynard the Trickster is primarily known as a French legend, IRL.

No. The conversation with the Damsel occured on turn 37, the Father was used on turn 38.
The simplest way to ensure that the Father gives us a benefit even if the Lady isn't a daugther is to structure our turn plans such that we look into the Forest of Shadows nexus on the same turn we attempt to recruit Bretonnia. Looking into the Forest of Shadows nexus is definitely a high risk action, so it wouldn't be a waste even if the Lady doesn't pan out, though I expect it will.
The problem i see with protector is that it isn't (probably) applicable.
Yeah, but it would do that from just doing the stuff. Protector works of protecting the people from something, i don't think the implied threat of something counts.
I'd really really rather buff up a bit before we try sneaking around the territory of a guy who is between one and three degrees away from Nagash (depends entirely on whether Zacharias has tried to usurp Melchior at this point in the timeline, and whether Boney goes with "yeah W'soran took over Melkhior from the inside" or not).
Regarding the Iron Orcs, it was very clear that we don't have to deal with them. That's one way to recruit the Damsels, but the other is to get results:
And obviously we can do both of those things to make the Damsels more likely to join and more likely to contribute more, but we don't have too and I doubt we'll have time for that.
That one i don't agree with. The father only means halethas followers trust us, not that the goddess will intervene on our behalf in anything. Going with a "maybe if you squint chance of getting a bit of divine help" over "here's your buddy Ranald with his new shiny dice to roll for you, of course their not weighted, who do you think Ranald is!"
The Father does in fact mean that Halétha herself will trust us:
What do you think this means? What does Halétha trusting us actually do, if not offer us possible divine intervention if relevant? Is this just meaningless text in the description of the coin?
Cool, that only implies she trusts us. Not that she gonna throw lightning bolts on our behalf. We don't have a connection with her as strong as we have with Ranald.
We explicitly know that the Ostland Hedgewise worship Haletha.
It would absolutely help to get Aksel's whole gang as backup, though. Mathilde's historically had close calls infiltrating places without backup - it's part of the impetus behind binding the Riders in Red, getting a tank-in-can to distract foes.
And Aksels word on his own wouldn't, why exactly?
First of all, we know with 100% certainty that the Ostland Hedgewise worship Halétha. It's not a secret of anything.
Yes, but there is more than just that in the way of evidence. Aside from the fact that they live by the Forest of Shadows, there are two notable lines of text from our visit to the Ostermark Hedgewise:
Have you bothered to actually read my post?
I don't say that the father would do nothing. But the implication that the father would get us a army of hedgewise and a vengeful god ready to throw down is on the exact opposite end of the spectrum. Yes, the goddess and her followers would put faith and trust in us. That doesn't mean they would march to the blood fane with us or that Haletha would be willing or even able to throw down, she's a minor goddess of the forest. That might give her some sway or it might not.
For crying out loud. When exactly did I say that they would march to the blood fane with us? What is this absurd strawman? The nexus action is an investigation action. The people who live in the Forest of Shadows and worship the Goddess of the Forest of Shadows obviously know a lot about the Forest of Shadows and how now to get killed in it, and they also might know about the nexuses we are investigating because protecting those nexuses was a sacred duty of theirs. How can you possibly argue in good faith that this would not be incredibly useful?
Then I'm sorry about that part, but it's still just a guess that the father would get us anything other then people actually talking to us. The only tangible option that is directly beneficial is the gambler.
