He should have fallen on his sword. That would have been the sensible thing to do.
Punched his ticket for Elysium right away, no waiting around.
He thought they'd only kill him.
Why did he think that? How stupid was he? Why in the world did he think that?
And now instead of his next great adventure he's flubbed a save against dominate person.
Kroft forgot to mention this earlier, but at least one of you will be required to pass an oath under Abadar's truthtelling.
(Korvosa's remaining first-circle cleric spells are going for almost twenty sails a piece, so the Guard will be spending down the limited charges they have in a wand.)
Haha, no. I'll pick one of you at random.
The oath is a fairly light touch. 2% of adult Korvosans pass it, in a big public ceremony, knowledge (local) to know the specifics. But if any of you were, like, actively planning to murder the Queen of Korvosa. This might not be the job for you.
Planning or intending? The US DoD has plans to invade Canada.
Cressida Kroft leads the band of second-level misfits across the Vault to Ileosa's tunnel.
If these people were in the Vault earlier, Illeosa would have noticed. She wonders where Kroft found them.
Your majesty! We are as worms before you, worms before glorious Queen Ileosa of the Korvosan Vault, whose radiance is as the nigh-forgotten sun, whose celestial sunlike radiance gives all Korvosans the strength to continue, to continue in your radiant light. We humbly prostate ourselves, like the worms that we are. We hope there will be much love, despite our, uh, wormitude, between our lowly and wormlike selves and your glorious and radiant self.
Long may you reign.
Please don't kill us.
Or have us killed, or, I guess, assign us to a mission which unbeknownst to us is highly likely to result in our deaths, or, really, anything else along that general theme.
Sure, if no one else is going to, he'll go ahead and introduce himself.
"Olin Mull, Primate of Varisia, Cayden Cailean's compadre.
I don't think we've yet had the pleasure of becoming acquainted?"
And I'm writing it down right now.
What would be the point when I'm the only one who'd remember it.
Are we trading names and titles with the (knowledge (local) DC 20) Caydenite from the Pantheon of Many? It seems we're trading titles with the Caydenite from the Pantheon of Many.
"Her Royal Highness Queen Ileosa Arabasti, Queen of Korvosa, Steward of Chelish Varisia."
Ileosa doesn't hide her incomprehension. She does consider - a split second decision - whether to conceal what umbrage she's taken, and decides instead to play it up - favoring them all with a rather severe look that lingers especially on the flowery warrior lady and the babbling blue person.
Okay, we're doing names.
Hasagi Choryon. Temporarily embarrassed samurai, momentarily in between masters.
Lyvina Mayyad, student of Conjuration at Korvosa's own Academae and, uh, journeyman ecclesitheurge of the Empyreal Lord Ragathiel.
Blah blah niceties niceties it's so great to meet you how do you know Cressida Kroft?
That's not what she was expecting but she'll certainly take it.
A Southshore cleric, Academae student, four-armed monster, and Tian-Min ronin on the wrong side of the Crown of the World - presumably you don't drink in the same taverns. How do you know each other?
