Being near the top of the sortitions isn’t that bad. He’s even above a few nobles, though none of the important ones. 

As for the queen, she has so many assists that he doesn’t know there are numbers that high. But he does know that she really needs to catch up on kills. If Iker was queen and losing to a druid, he’d abdicate just out of shame.

Damn. More of them got away than he thought.

...this is a scheme by Norgorber and should probably be assumed to be using whatever counting methods amuse him rather than ones which accurately reflect anything at all.

It's nice to have extremely dubious confirmation that nobody who was at school with her, like, later died of their injuries she should have prevented by pulling her strikes more, or anything.

What is up with Delegate Balcells's count? Nobody else has question marks.

Liushna doesn’t know whether she should be more concerned by the fact of the question marks or the number of them but. Hm. Either way she’s concerned.

Enric isn’t surprised by his numbers.

Look, what did you think ‘instead of using the court in town, we usually solve things ourselves’ means? Usually it’s sitting both sides down and having an elder mediate. Occasionally it’s an assembly of every man in the village, bring an axe or pitchfork or hunting bow, and by the end of the day, the problem is dealt with.

That's all right. Those people she killed, they were all bad. She's a little bit concerned about the assists, though.

1-1-6 is not quite what he was expecting. Sure, the gang sometimes got rough with people, but he doesn't think he killed anyone. Maybe it was during the night that he doesn't remember?

(Albert has forgotten that his earliest years were under the care of his aunt, not his mother, and why that was the case.)

She’s not at the top of the partitioned delegates - in fact, she’s apparently behind Iker of all people - but there were more assists than she expected. Is Gorum counting people who got executed for cowardice because they ran away from her? That still doesn’t explain all of it, though.

That’s his master, the Asmodean cleric they threw down that well, and… who is he missing?

Huh, she would have actually expected it to be higher? But she's not sure where Gorum is drawing the line on the assists, like when she used her warsong to support some archers and then they drove the soldiers into an ambush by another group with swords - that might not all have been enough to count. Or maybe the evidence she forged that got that officer reassigned to a shit position and he died a few months later isn't counting, there were a few things like that. She's not sure how to feel about it.

What the--he's never--

Wait, is this thing counting slips? That's not fair!

The soul trap counts as death by Gorum's rules, apparently. The others were both... higher than she expected. But not by that much. Executions and crackdowns have a cost in lives, and she thought they were slightly lower but not hugely. Forty-three minus the nobles she ordered executed and replaced makes nineteen who would have lived if she hadn't identified them for being hunted.

May it never rise again.

There are few powers in Creation with the power to hide their kill counts from Gorum, and only one who would be attending the Chelish constitutional convention.

He doesn't Plane Shift to Axis in a panic, mostly because if Mephistopheles were going to personally drag him to Hell, He would have done it a long time ago.
