[X] Bodyguard and Tutor to Prince Mandred

What if i told you neo, that some of us were glad to see the Ableheim ship irreversibly sink because it would cause a move from stagnation in Stirland?

And ok, some of us are asexual or antinatalists.


For me not voting for 'Spymaster' in a campaign of terror against rat bodyguards has little to do with Ableheim and much to do with it being a empire job.

I just think suffering builds character
 
Heidi hasn't earned the level of trust where I'd want to support her to Mathilde's typical levels

I really dislike this argument because I think it's quite unfair.

First because neither Abel nor Belegar did anything to win our trust before we started working for them, it was only after we did that we grew to respect them and they earned our trust.

And second because applied the other way around Mathilde has not done anything to win Heidi's trust, and yet she's putting her own son security in our hands.
 
Hmm, ok, given that the vote seems to have settled on "there's no need to fear on your maybe-choices losing out" I'll narrow my vote down to a single option.

I'd argue we've done plenty to ensure she if not trust at least has leverage over us, in that we didn't reveal her as a conwoman, and have since made ourselves increasingly complicit in her scheme.

The other point is perhaps more fair, though we've interacted with her enough that she's plainly stated (some of?) her goals, enough to form an opinion.

People actually tally this thread minute by minute to point you can see tally proccessing. Bloody hell.

If it came down to it, I'd expect Boney will combine the Spanish votes into the relevant English ones.

Honestly, it's not that big of a deal. Boney has experience with the vote tally system. It has an option to collect related votes together and count them as one.
 
First because neither Abel nor Belegar did anything to win our trust before we started working for them, it was only after we did that we grew to respect them and they earned our trust.
That's not totally true: we'd never met Belegar before we signed up for the Expedition, yes, but the vote to stay in K8P and work for him was predicated in large part on his revealed character during the Expedition. So I think judging whether or not we want to take Heidi's job by our opinion about her is pretty fair; the only boss we had totally foisted on us was Abelhelm, for obvious reasons (and then, technically, Roswita, very briefly).
 
Working with dwarfs and achieving what we achieve is no small thing. They have their problem, but overall they come through and give us nothing but support.
And if we are to choose something beside a loremaster to Belegar, then my vote will be for :

[X] Spymaster of Wissenland

My reasoning is that this is the city that needs our help the most.

We can setup a good man (our old mentor) to help vouch the bodyguard of the young emperor.

We can always recomend Roswita to give Anton the job. Cleaning Vampireland is great opportunity mind you

But i always consider the Ratties a bigger threat. And if we can destroy one more clan or two..

It's pretty clear what they're intended to be for, so they can be merged through the tally system. While it would be nice if they matched, only invalid votes should be challenged. Also, he's been pinged at least three times by now.

...not that I disagree with you, but if you like being a Loremaster to Belegar, why aren't you voting for [ ] Loremaster-at-Large of Karak Eight Peaks?

If you want to also vote for Loremaster, you need to include that vote in your post.
 
Now, let me make one last argument in favour of Markgraf.

It has been noted that we're going to need a council if we're going to have any success removing the vampires from Sylvania. People have previously expressed an interest in getting Kasmir on board, which makes sense! He's probably the best Sigmarite around, and I say that as a Roswistan.

However! There is another character who's experienced, loyal and would jump at the chance to work with us again who I'd much rather talk about. If we go working our magic in Sylvania, we get to experience this again!
"For the good of the Empire?" Anton suggests. You and Van Hal snort in unison.

"Well, whatever their motivations, we've got another Province willing to shave away at Sylvania from the North. And that isn't the only new ally we've acquired, as some of you may have noticed."

Eyes swivel to the window. The dragon is taking up one of the drill yards with it's napping form, and the elf is imperiously watching over a few camp followers as they erect a gaudy silken tent to his specifications. "Prince Asarnil," Anton says happily. "Nice fellow. A bit impressed with himself, but I would be too if I'd done even a tenth of what he has. The stories he tells! I've sent away to the University of Altdorf for someone that speaks the elf language so that they can all be recorded - he really liked the idea but insisted it be in his language, which I suppose is fair enough, but it's jolly difficult to find someone that speaks it in Stirland."

Seriously, we get to work together with this goober once more

"Is that-" you begin, looking at the letter in his hands.

"It is!" he says. You're in the council room, despite it being abandoned to dust. He insisted. Wilhelmina, Gustav and Schultz have also been summoned, but Anton is apparently as clueless as to Kasmir's location as you are.

"So what does it say?" you press.

"I haven't opened it yet," he admits. "I wanted to wait until everyone was here."

"Close enough," you say, with nods from the others, and Anton buckles and slides his knife under the wax seal of the letter.

[Will Abelhelm's heir take up the mantle?]
[Base: Req 50. Inglorious death, +20. Campaign completed, -10. Letters to them spoke well of his councillors, -10. Result: 50/50.]
[Die Roll: 98]

Anton's mouth moves as he reads through the document. "Out loud!" you hiss at him, and he nods and returns to the start.

I hope you all understand that Anton is so utterly adorable I could probably fill an entire page with nothing but cute moments from him
You eye the sea-chest dubiously. Your instincts scream that it should have pirate treasure in it, but by the way Anton was able to haul it in by himself, you don't think it could be filled with precious metals.

"This one was my father's idea," Anton says. "You're a Shadow Wizard, so you should find the contents very useful."

"A princely gift, and one that not many could get their hands on," Anton Senior says gravely. "I reckon you'll put it to good use."

"I'm sure it will be of immense value to my work," you say, and unable to restrain your curiousity any further, you lift the lid.

"Mathilde!" Anton gasps as you stare down at an empty chest.

"She let them out," Anton Senior says with a groan.

If you hadn't already cheated by thoroughly scrutinizing the chest with your Magesight, that combined with 'useful for a Wizard' would have you extremely concerned. "Let what out?"

"An entire chest of genuine Blutdorf shadows," Anton says sadly. "Took an entire afternoon to get them all in there."

You start to laugh, then pause. "Actually..." you say thoughtfully.

"Oh no." Anton hurriedly reaches under his chair and produces a second, much smaller box, and thrusts it at you. "Here, open this instead of doing Wizard things."

Vote Markgraf and this perfect cinnamon roll of utmost purity can become yours today!

... Or at least as soon as BoneyM closes the vote and delivers an update.
