This post has the following content warnings:
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.
I'm in love with the way you phrased that so Ornelos can't object without seeming ungracious.
Guess who doesn't give a goblin's ass about sounding ungracious.
I'll give you a hint:
It starts with "Lord" and ends with "Headmaster Toff godsdamn Ornelos, Head of House Ornelos, Heir to the Eternal Lord."
He's just about out of patience for playing nitwit games with the likes of Togomor and the interim Queen.
Do you know why he wasn't here to shut down your shitty coup earlier?
It's because after hunting down the necromancer who set the shadows on Korvosa, he teleported himself to Geb in search of answers.
And answers did he find!
This tale begins in the depths of the Worldbreaker's Dead Vault...
Tuttle and Reebs communed for answers, played twenty questions.
We know that Rovagug was responsible for the shadowplague... but tell me more about this necromancer?
Alright, cool, take the wind out of his sails, ruin Toff's cool moment.
It's not like he braved incredible peril in the land of the dead for these answers or anything.
Okay, but tell me more about this necromancer.
Some sick Shoanti fuck. Thoroughly dominated. I polymorphed him into this turtle so he'd be easier to carry around.
The short of the long story is that Toff Ornelos is here now, and that means he's fixing everything that went wrong when he wasn't around to micromanage.
His understanding is that Queen Ileosa removed Field Marshall Kroft without cause (in defiance of law and tradition), appointed "Sabina Merrin" (raise your hand if present), who appointed "Corbastia Lettice" as Seneschal (in defiance of law and tradition), without soliciting the opinion of the Great Houses (in defiance of law and tradition).
Does he pretty much have the shape of that right?
Well, she had a good run.
At least next time someone tries to pull a coup this way it'll only be (apparently) illegal, and not untraditional besides.
He absolutely does not have the basic shape of it right!
A) Cressida Kroft was removed with cause - 5 in 6 Korvosans died under her watch.
B) There's nothing illegal about appointing who-the-fuck-ever as Seneschal of Castle Korvosa, even if they've typically been chosen from nobles in the Sable Company.
C) She did solicit the opinions of the Great Houses, who did not reach consensus within the period for comment (expedited, in accordance with law and tradition, due to the evolving crisis).
How the everloving fuck did you mind fogged and feebleminded idiots not reach a consensus within the period for comment.
Lord Arkona didn't show, nor anyone with right to represent him in his absence.
Dean of Divination Norval Allesain (NG female human diviner 9):
The youngest currently serving dean, Mistress [sic] Allesain rose quickly through the ranks of faculty in the Hall of Seeing, ever seeming to be in the right place at the right time for promotion.
Sir! Glorio Arkona is sailing for Veldraine.
He was twelve miles out from Korvosa at last sighting, off the shore of Barleytop Hill, and by the winds and currents I expect you could find him four further miles along his way.
