:: I want to try something a little different. I know that Caewin is under some type of dweomer from the helm. My character suspects something is up. I would like to make a corruption test using my valour to try and shake Caewin out of his confusion. Seems like a neat way to try and shake the corruption in another.


"I dont challenge your lord's authority, but I do challenge him attacking travelers in my own lands."

Hathcyn bent his will and his mein towards the Lord of Sunstead.


"Lord Caewin, the sun is shinning and these wagons are west of the wood. Prey, caution is better served here. Should they be foes I will gladly join you, but let us be certain."

Valour Test

Go for it.  Just make sure you let me know who you're trying to sway, and how, if it isn't obvious. 

Oh mate!  *chef's kiss*

The Dune / Life if Brian crossover memes have been great.

  do we now make with the clackity clackity? 

My family and I watched Life of Brian, which has similar claims to historical accuracy.      

Confusion clouds the face of Caewin at the Foresthelm's words, but not those of his followers who round on the Beorning warrior angrily.  "Who are you to gainsay our lord and protector?" demands the young man who spoke to Esgalwen on the night of their arrival at the Fox's Tale.  "Well and wisely has he ruled, and if he knows yonder Men to be his enemies, then my enemies are they also!"  A low and angry chorus of agreement follows his words, while Caewin himself sits upon his horse, his eyes distant and lips moving soundlessly. 


We've started an Encounter, but one with two goals.  Not only do you need to persuade Caewin not to attack the camp of the other travellers, you also need to convince his bodyguards that you're not being treacherous by doing so.  I've set success goals for each, and it'll be clear from the narrative when you reach them.

Since I'm separated from my family the plan today is to cook the back up cornbeef from st patricks day and watch Ben-hur

Happy Way Too Much Chocolate Day for those who celebrate it!  Story service should resume tomorrow.
