Kroft, you weren't here for this, but several of the people in this room admitted to worshiping the Pallid Princess and feeding information to the shadows.

Permalink

Several people did what?

Permalink

Murdering your husband and seizing power, you diabolic whore.

My money's on, uh, graveknight. She's got that red armor - she's not wearing it right now, but, she's got it, and it's really distinctive armor. Oh, and graveknights can bind weaker undead to their service, so she could have a bunch of shadow minions, which is, like, thematic.

How much money? That's a really specific scenario.

Permalink

Cool your heels, people.

How dare you say that!

I loved Eodred!

If Cressida Kroft becomes a non-shadow undead, 50-50 chance it's a graveknight.

Permalink

Hmm. No bet.

Love at first sight, I'm sure. Lucky you to have met such a lovable man of such high station so promptly on stepping off the boat.

Eighty-seven, divide by two, add seven...

Fifty-point-five.

This is blatant lèse-majesté. Is it even legal?

Permalink

If the Lucky Drunk is with the opposition, I want a more ominous appellation to use for him. 

"The Lucky Drunk" makes Him sound friendly, which would logically make us the baddies.

Permalink

Eh, whatever. Do you want to go get drinks some time?

Permalink

Maybe I'll CONSIDER it LATER if the PLANET SURVIVES.

Permalink

I am LOSING my MIND over here.

Permalink

We could call him the Angry Drunk.

Permalink

What even happened in here?

And where is Toff Ornelos?

To answer your question, Field Marshall Sabina Merrin:

Were he to call for the abolition of the monarchy outright, that would be treason and a capital crime.

But no law prohibits accusing a sitting Queen of a criminal offense, nor does any on the books prohibit proposing punishments for the case in which the accused is found guilty. 

Neither still is defamation a crime - it is a matter for civil courts, and not for Hellknights.

That is, if she believes, as I do not, that this accusation of murder was negligently or knowingly false.

However.

By my reading of the 178th Ammendment to the Charter of Korvosa, you could have him whipped for calling her a whore.

Would you like for me to handle that for you?

Permalink

I thought you were on our side!

Permalink

I am.

And I enforce discipline. 

Permalink

Hmm, it's tempting.

But maybe a bad look.

Togomor, is there a room in the mansion we can use as a holding cell? I'll decide what to do with him later.

Permalink

Maralictor - Briasus.

What sides are you talking about? Where's Toff, what'd he do?
