Voshrelka: 53,482 / 1 / 134,925

Whaaaat? There's no way that's right, she's killed more than that in twenty years of making breakfast! 

If this were a "souls damned to Hell" board she'd clean the Hell up (pun intended). Wait, that's a bad thing.

Her Majesty Aspexia III  | 2446 | 57 | 34,682,473

Well, that's out in the open now.

He’s relieved none of his debt shenanigans contributed to anyone’s death so he is at a nice 0/0/0

He glances at the leaderboard for anything interesting.  That’s interesting about the Queen, he didn’t realize adventurers got killed and resurrected so much?  And the assist count must be really generous?  What could even get it that high?  Maybe helping close the worldwound killed multiple cities worth of demons?

Glancing at the rest of the board… wow, he makes a not to his self not to piss off any of the Druids.

If anybody asks that was a baby. Maybe a deformed baby.

If anybody asks that was....... fish...... pirates. Yeah.

2/0/0 for herself.  Well, she’s glad she truthfully shared her past when asked.  So no one can accuse her of hiding it.

She starts looking over the board to note people of interest.  Is it giving Valia and Victoria credit for the riot?  And the Queen is what you’d expect from a person of legendary power who works with 3 archmages.

Huh, is she getting credit for Myrtle? Fair enough.

If pirates didn't want to get cut down they should not be pirates, that's all he has to say about it.

These numbers are wrong. Kicharchu is a scavenger, not a predator.

3/0/0? ...Fuck, babies count after all. He was pretty sure that was a lie to make Good feel better about itself.

Also, why is GORUM interfering with the convention? Does Gorum enjoy Galt-style riots and blood in the streets? ...Probably, yes. Maybe he should leave.

Literally most of that number is people who were attacking the manor and killed his nephew and servants. Usually he just shoots bulettes and owlbears and things like that.

Maybe the 0/0/0 will make people stop acting so weird around the holy symbol. Probably not though.

He would really have expected to rank higher on this chart, what with the situation with Galè, but apparently the other delegates have killed a lot more people than he thought. Hopefully people will be too distracted by all the people ahead of him to decide they aren't willing to work with him over it.

He starts at the bottom, and it still takes him a while to find his name; turns out the 0/0/0s were sorted alphabetically. 

1/1/17

Well, fair enough, she didn’t directly participate in the fighting at Pezzack but she did do some support casting; if anything she would have expected her assists to be higher.

Next question: how the fuck are the Queen’s assists that high. Liushna hadn’t been specifically aware that numbers went that high before.

(So many dead, and how many ever returned…?)

103 / 0 / 9381 is... really quite a lot more than he was expecting. How broadly does Gorum define assists? Did he get all of this from that time he sabotaged the Druma supply chain?

Also he would really like to know what the Queen did.

1298/2/6189?

... It's a fair cop.

140/0/44781 informs hin that Gorum counts every death in every battle in which your personal cavalry company served as the tip of the spear to break enemy morale as an assist, or at least every death after they broke. Useful information, that.

Four kills. Zero deaths. Eight assists. 

(She hadn't actually been sure how many people she'd personally killed. It was hard to know if it was her magic or her companions' blades that struck down any individual person.)

...Why is it eight assists? The lord and his family is nine, less the two she killed personally, so it should be seven. Who is she missing... oh.

Apparently Gorum, God of War, is giving her partial "credit" for the slave who got tortured to death in her place. Which makes some amount of sense when she thinks about it, just... it was innocent, it straightforwardly didn't deserve what happened to it, she didn't — she didn't want it dead — 

She is not going to start crying in the convention hall, that would just be pathetic, but she is absolutely not managing to hide that she's upset.

0/0/4. She guesses she's... been a witness whose testimony led to some executions, working in her father's court? Does that count?

1/0/0. Apparently it doesn't count if your child gets sick and dies. (Is the Queen going to round up everyone with a positive number? The scary wizard lady said she'd be safe but she knows they executed some delegates for murder.)

This is farcical. He has defended his and others' property with lethal force and that is not a category usefully combined with murder OR adventuring.

It's hard to see the scoreboard from a Final Blade.

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. 

(OH, RIGHT, SOME OF THE WARRIORS HAVE ALREADY BEEN DEFEATED.

HERE YOU GO, BUDDY, HERE'S YOUR SCORE IN THE FINAL BLADE. GORUM RESPECTS YOUR INITIATIVE.)

Damn. More of them got away than he thought.

85/2/68445.

...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.

24/0/42

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.

1/0/2

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

0/0/89

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.

6/0/38

What the--he's never--

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

43/1/1173

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.
