The votes are in! Here are the results:
(Btw Casimir's pilgrimage will start in a day or so. Feel free to RP about your mistakes here)
Prismed Rim - In Need of Spiritual Cleansing
A Morvaugian Chieftain and their cohorts has requested the use of the Isle of Samsara for “spiritual cleansing.” They promised to pay and were eager to learn the ways of Blaiddydism. But rather than listen to our peaceful teachings, they’ve instead trashed the entire island, making a mockery of their way of life! And now they’ve fled back to Morvaug and refuse to pay for damages!
VOTE - - What should be done about this Morvaugian Mayhem?
B) Send a military detachment to…convince them to pay.
(% Chance based on region’s Military x 10)
A small detachment of soldiers were sent to the Morvaugian border, and demanded to speak with the one who had sullied Samsara.
[Current Military 5 - Roll a 50 or lower to succeed]
You rolled... 73
Failure
A garrison of Morvaugian troops are there to greet them. Most soldiers turn tail and run, and the few that remain are in no condition to...negotiate after their thrashing. Thankfully the Morvaugians saw this as a training exercise more than an act of war.
The Kingdom has to cover the costs, and the faith of the people are shaken.
(-1 Military, -1000 gold, and -1 Authority)
Provincia Smaragdina - A Terrible Curse
Impervious Beargrasshatchway III rushes into the council chambers, breathless and in disarray. He claims to have been placed under a curse! His hair is falling out in chunks, his face looks gaunt, and he absolutely reeks. He claims that one of his peasants cursed him—she was a witch! He could see it in her eyes!
VOTE - What shall be done about this occult threat?
B) Burn the witch!
(Defiance -1 [PS], Defiance +1 [PR, USA], Faith +1)
While not the most...elegant of solutions, the suspected witch is put to the torch and burned at the stake. They make a whole festival around it, it really brings the Magimkam people together. Honestly nothing can bring you together more than a shared cultural murder. The other alliances find this rather awful, specifically Monstrome, and Ratsburgh, due to their beliefs. Not cool guys.
Impervious Beargrasshatchway III's symptoms clear up shortly after. It turns out it was due to high concentrations of fungus in his daily meal of bread and meat. So...likely not witch-related, but hey could you really be sure? That witch might've planted the fungus! Or maybe it was shoddy storage. Or the witch! Who knows.
United States of Azulongmon - Disquiet in the Islands
Diana Proudmoore of the Sugarvine Islands has been accused by some of her peasants of hoarding wealth. They’re throwing down their tools and burning their belongings, saying they want to live an ascetic life and that Lady Diana is an agent of the noble elite who seeks to repress them. The leader of this faction of peasants calls herself a philosopher, a prophet, and a voice for Blaiddyd. The peasants hang on her every word. They’ll be at Lady Diana’s doorstep in moments with pitchforks and torches if nothing is done!
VOTE - How best to deal with this imminent uprising?
A) Send someone to infiltrate their cult.
(% Chance based on region’s Faith x 10)
Nezaripped (and any other nobles who want to arrive in disguise) are sent to the far off island of...hang on let me check...Hermit? Yeah that sounds about right. There they find a crowd of cultists, burning their clothes, worldly possessions, farm tools, and even a few portraits of Lady Diana. Everyone is singing, dancing, and just having a lovely time free from the shackles of work. An astute eye would notice their food supply is dwindling rapidly, and they likely won't last a week the way things are.
There are no signs of the infamous Cult Leader. Someone will have to drive them out of hiding. Perhaps a public display of opposition? A big brawl? Or even...proselytizing of your own accord? We shall see.
(This is an RP. The % will be rolled after, which will determine how it ends.)
And lastly...
Capital - Pilfered Tombs
A shocking rumor reaches the Capitol, the Royal Mausoleum has been pilfered! Many notable nobles’ belongings (which were buried with them of course), have been stolen. Perhaps most shocking of all, the late Queen has been dug up, and her left hand has been stolen! Why would such a thief take a piece of the royal family? Something must be done!
VOTE - How will we catch this criminal, and recover our precious stolen heirlooms?
A) Stop and search anyone and everyone leaving the Capitol.
(-1 Military Nationwide / +1 Defiance Nationwide / -1 Authority)
The entire Royal Guard is mobilized for the sole purpose of finding those rotten scoundrels. Nobles, merchants, and peasants alike are annoyed by the "overreaction", and some see it as a sign of King Tyronius's dwindling Authority. After a week of total lockdown, a singular pickpocket is captured, who has a few pillaged goods on his person. A quick...painless interrogation later, and the pickpocket spills his secrets.
He (and a small group of other larceny experts) had been hired by a masked individual to break into the Royal Mausoleum. They were welcome to take whatever they'd like as compensation, as long as they brought this masked fellow the Queen's wedding band. They weren't able to get it off, so they elected to lop off the hand and bring it to them. Apparently the masked individual had been very upset about that little wrinkle, but still let them go. The other thieves are captured soon after, but none spill the details on who orchestrated this whole plot.
All have no idea, they had just received a letter by post and had agreed to the terms. Perhaps naive on their part, but if you're leading a life of crime, you likely aren't the brightest candle in the church.
Feel free to RP to your heart's content! I shall respond in the morning. I need my Kingly beauty sleep.
