Oh Cleo wouldn't fear asking. If she heard something was in the area of the place you'd be going, she tell you what she heard before you left. Give you advice, to have a safe trip, and not to die because it would be a tragic pain in her ass! XD
Sulvanii |
Elizabeth Silvertail |
Ok folks, do I really need to make a spoiler to each of you? Katrina is done.
Now to work through the NPCs.
Saren wants her to be a shining example of an older sister she can be.
Krazok asked for her to dance.
Larina asked for help in styling her hair.
Selena asked for a massage.
Quince asked for her to see his mum...
Kevros?
Tristan?
I guess that would be 2 spoilers... anyways, please respond or make a spoiler in response to her first request.
Greater Restoration is the costly spell.
Tristan Morgan |
I'm lost. So many post. Also very busy at work.
Quince Medvyed |
Glad to see you around. I am sure that it has been a lot of posts. LOL
Cleonora Petalouda |
Glad to know we didn't lost ya man! XD
Yeah there is a lot to go through I'm sure!
Quince Medvyed |
LOL out of curiosity Tristan how many posts were waiting LOL. My guess is well over 50.
Cleonora Petalouda |
I'mma say ballpark of 90! XD
Sulvanii |
He gets up and offers his hand to you, "Come along, I will show you my vault." He takes you around his desk to the far corner of the room but then turns the optical illusion made it feel that the room was just that and a square. Now past the wall you see that there are many doors and other furniture back here. He goes to the far door that looks like a massive vault door. He presses about a dozen symbols which glow as he presses them and then the door opens on its own. Revealing a room full of well placed weapons, armor, and equipment that is easily 40 feet long and 20 feet wide. Holding hundreds of magical items. With a grin of pleasure he states, "This is my vault! You may touch but if you touch the wrong one it may choose you as its owner. Many of them are cursed items. Wishes gone wrong."
Tristan you should ignore any spoiler that does not have your name on it. That should help you immensely.
In gameplay you should be apart of the Military Council and Elizabeth asked you a question. I think Quince also posted something for you.
Cleonora Petalouda |
When he revealed the vault proper her eyes began to shine with excitement. "Oh my..." She gave his hand a gentle squeeze before she let go of his hand to go looking through it all. "How long has it taken you to collect all of these?! Some seem right out of history books!" She said as she, almost like a child, went around looking at everything. She didn't touch much, as she would use her own magical vision to ensure what she'd pick up wasn't cursed.
Quince Medvyed |
So there a lot of moving pieces right now.
Should Quince start thinking about making a trip to Brevoy with Liz to meet his mother?
Should Quince send for his mom in her timeframe?
Should Quince make arrangements with a runner on one the fast horses go?
Is transportation something that would make for a good wish?
Quince Medvyed |
So Cleo told me that the picture of Quince from like 2012 was visible by permission only.
Which lead me to think about what Quince looks like these days. Looking at his profile picture. I wanted to find something that was similar but also had that Erastil Oracle vibe to it. Of course nothing that has the right clothing has the right features. Nothing that has the right clothes or the right features has a morning star. And forget having things like the added gravy of the same outfit with a Fox face. LOL. I found a few pics that were close to the mental picture I had of Quince.
I figured I would throw up a few options and see what you guys thought.
Great Outfit To Much Facial Hair
Too Swashbucklery Needs More Rustic Edge
Also Close Needs Lighter Hair Wrong Hearaldry Too Much Facial Hair
The right armor-Too Elf?-Quince uses a bow but only sometimes
Cleonora Petalouda |
1 person marked this as a favorite. |
My suggestion bis two or three.
Also a fan of Lord of the Rings are we? XD
Which is good! Everyone should love Lord of the Rings! XD
Quince Medvyed |
Yeah This is closest to what I want and his portrait pic. Its a little to silky. Needs a bit of fur trim. Or more of the Scale Armor showing.
He's from the Medvyed fam. I always saw them with a bit of rough forest edge to them. Hunting lodges, furs and Bear heraldry. Which is why I really like the Rohan guys but they are to square jawed for Kitsune and horses. Rather than bears or elk heraldry that would fit Quince in either religion or family.
Quince Medvyed |
I suppose they look enough like each other to be the same person. . . .I should just be thankful and use all 3 like I have a full wardrobe.
And that's before I turn into half fox.
Cleonora Petalouda |
Doesn't look too bad!
Oh hey do me a favor? Can you click the spoiler for Cleo on the last post Sulvanii made? See if it works for you or if it is just Paizo being jerks again.
Quince Medvyed |
That is weird. Spoilers are working but that spoiler isn't.
Cleonora Petalouda |
Just Paizo then! GM got another spoiler up for me so it's cool! XD
Just a little annoying
Sulvanii |
Paizo just being jerks... or just an error?!
Easiest one for Quince on Scram:
Quince start thinking about making a trip to Brevoy with Liz to meet his mother.
Cleonora Petalouda |
Sulvanii |
Cleonora Petalouda |
When he showed her his more prized items, as they where ones he himself saw fit to use. "Dragon bone... So prized and hard to work with but very powerful. I'm not sure what this gauntlet is called, but it looks difficult to use. A... Ranseur? Interesting. I did not think you the type." She said curiously as she looked the last one over a bit more closely to try and see if she could figure out the metals.
Sulvanii |
Cleonora Petalouda |
After a moment she looked to him. "I'd gladly fight beside you though. You and Katrina, and Jorne. You are he ones I trust."
Sulvanii |
Cleonora Petalouda |
Sulvanii |
Okay, when were you going to ask for the wish and aduct Cleo? Or should I go ahead and start the Warden's Council?
Quince Medvyed |
You get a message from Sulvanii saying he wants to talk. As you get there he is sitting behind his desk and a nice chair has been moved forward for you to sit upon. He smiles as you come in and he offers the chair. "So I have been talking with my friends and I realize you and other of the Wardens are not really there with me. So I was wondering if you think it would work to have us all get together informally and get to know each other more. Or would you think it would be better just one on one?"
Quince sits. He takes a deep breath. "You are my Councilor. That we do not know each other WELL speaks poorly of me. I chose one whose perspective is very different from my own. Whose power I trusted would be of great use. And your council and your power has served this Barony well. That we would be meet as a group with the other wardens is a good thing. But we also should get together daily when we can. Do you break fast in the mornings? We can eat together. Spend some time together to know each other's mind as well as address the concerns of the day."
His proposal breaks down to getting together in the mornings to both get know each other informally as well as serve as a what is pressing on that day.
Cleonora Petalouda |
When he asked about her competition question and she couldn't help but half laugh. "The phrasing you used, 'Trust me you want to catch that one.', is a phrasing mortals often use to tell someone they should be dating the person you spoke of with intent of marriage. So effectively you just told me to try and marry Jorne." Cleonora explained. "Which I found interesting."
Quince wants to try something first so I'mma let him try, if that fails then we'll work on everything else. I don't want to flood the group with too much Cleo centered pieces. Might wait a month or two in game to try and give them a pallet cleanser.
Kevros Droverson |
Tristan Morgan |
There are almost 100 in GP and 50 more here. so many in spoilers. Not sure if anything is addressed to me.
Quince Medvyed |
Anything in the council or military council.
Also Cleo sent you and few others a letter about a problem.
The letter would have been received before the council. If you want to look into the matter on your own.
If not, letting Cleo enter the meeting with us to bring up the issue would serve as a great way to get several people she sent the note to at the same time.
I was going to do that a couple days ago but there was an "issue on the table at the council meeting."
Quince Medvyed |
Is the legal code issue addressed at this point? At least till the next meeting?
Quince Medvyed |
So I have been surfing about and I was thinking about the Military Council and our little kingdom.
I found a few pictures.
Kev might have a different design in mind and I would love to see it. But I thought these guys said roving marshals.
Rural Revett
Rural Reve
Sulvanii |
Yeah, Cleo has been engaging with my NPCs a lot.
Yes the legal code is addressed and is good until the next meeting. Even then it will likely be hand waved mostly. Just covering the important stuff and coming up with the top 10 laws the commoners should know.
DM is trying how to diminish the amount of spoilers!!!
Okay... well the troubles will be settled without the wish likely anyways. Moving on and waiting for the Quince...

Cleonora Petalouda |
I can't read the same spoiler again!
Cleonora Petalouda |
Yeah, Cleo has been engaging with my NPCs a lot.
Yeah she can get along great with NPCs yet when it comes to the PCs it's all glass and eggshells... Well at least with two of them.
Cleonora Petalouda |
Unless it is her leaving, I doubt it will be settled with any other way then magic.... *sighs* It really sucks being the odd man out. But hey I sighed up for it right? XD
Sulvanii |
He smirks at you, "I am not going to say it. You can't make me."
----
"Nope, I won't let you." He smiles and winks at you. "Honestly girl I love you but you aren't up to my standards. No really you are great and I sleep with one night stands mostly. My sex life would likely blow your mind. I mean you can try if you really want to..."
----
"Oh! Ummm..." That stops him in his tracks. "Its alright that you haven't... I just have done several subvert things and it seemed you weren't interested." His voice became more subdued and caring. Then with a bit of confusion he asks, "Are you interested?!"
**Edited**
**********
Cleonora Petalouda |
Use ---- to show the answer ones! XD
-----------
Cleonora was quiet for an almost unnerving while before she said "I've... actually never had sex." She looked away from Sulvanii almost as if she was embarrassed by it. "Though I guess since you aren't interested in a actual relationship, romantically speaking that is, then you don't really care about competition."
-----------
"I've noticed I just..." Cleonora tried to begin, she crossed her arms, holding onto her upper arms tightly. "I've just... never had a relationship before... I don't know how to act or how to show interest yet also show how unsure I am..." She explained as best she could. "I think you're a great man to be around and I enjoy your company a lot... and I just got you as a friend... I don't know if that is something I want to risk. Just like how when Jorne practically declared his love for me on a date I didn't even know was a date! Who does that?! How am I suppose to react to that?!" Cleonora let out a long sigh. "Am I attracted to you, yes. Very much so." She said with a nod. "I just... don't know if I could be good in a relationship you know?"
**Edited**
**********
Lol! Well they actually seemed to want to get to know Cleo and kept coming around! XD
Even when she didn't want them to!

Quince visited for tea!
After Joan failed to learn that other Barons would have killed him Cleo and Quince had a lovely conversation.
Cleonora Petalouda |
That is true, but Quince still wouldn't back her play like he would Kev or Tristan. They just aren't there yet... and I don't know if they'll ever be...
Quince Medvyed |
Quince smiles,"Breakfast with the Baron we will have to govern like that will be a best selling memoir." He thinks a moment, "Donunts with the Duke? Before long."

Kedgeree
This European dish comprises flaked fish, hard-boiled eggs, and rice infused with curry, parsley, and butter or cream.It originated in India as a simple dish of rice and lentils. But started gaining popularity in Britian, where the hard-boiled eggs and rich cream sauce were added. It’s considered a breakfast dish, but can also be enjoyed for lunch or dinner.
Kasha
This type of grain is popular in Eastern Europe. The buckwheat grains are toasted to make cereal or porridge.
Cleonora Petalouda |
Jorne and Cleo's discussion is moving over here. Just to let you all know.
"How are you getting along with the professors?" Cleonora asked.
"Some man from Mivon." Helena said with a shrug. "From what I remember bein' told, he had been in Restov to test his strength against their Aldori. But I don't know much 'bout that. Ya would have to go askin' him." She said. "Na, I don't go paying 'ttention to what Joan goes on 'bout. Not when I'm eaten." "That would be grand! I am itchin' to get these kiddos in the field. Really go showin' them some nature! Who what now?" She asked when he mentioned Stalker.
Sulvanii |
"Kedgeree with the King! I like it! So what do you want to talk about. I see what Cleo was talking about, if we don't have some same interests or something to really talk about, then it turns into the day to day issues and such. Oh how is your relationship with Liz coming along if you don't mind me asking!" He asks with interest.
-----
"Beauty is only skin deep. It is good you are getting to know each other. Well now that is a big step forward and you have only been seeing her for what a few weeks?! I hope there will be good news! I think you are rushing, I suppose getting your mothers approval would help in some ways. Though make sure she is ready and properly prepped."
"Honestly, I am getting along with them smashingly. Gao has been a great mentor. Helena is a very blunt instrument and it is nice to just get straight to an answer sometimes. I told her she should meet Stalker. You have to tell me about the Aldori, which son or daughter is it?"
"Stalker, he is a ranger and the Spymaster for the kingdom. Either you are going to hate each other or get along. I just see it going the second way though. Well the next time I see him, I will send him your way if you haven't already." He pleasantly replies, then he adds another question, "You wouldn't happen to know a Krafnik?"
----
"Oh no, I didn't. I am from Taldor and don't know most of the Brevic traditions and such. I was just making sure we didn't make a scandal or something. You know thinking what is best for the Academy and Kingdom. What happened to his challenge by the way in Restov?"
He nods to Helena knowing what she was talking about, "The way I was raised made sure I knew faces and names. No chances for forgetting anyone then. Anyways thank you for all your information and I will be seeing you around." He would make a slight bow and then take his leave.
Making points on what else she talked about he says, "Journe might be more in the same boat as you. Plus he is tethered to you. He definitely does not have as much experience as I do but I don't know. Was it a date though? Let's find out, trust me you won't hurt me. Even if you break it off with me in the worst of ways, I have time. Immortality does that to you."
-----
"You aren't tracking down the worst of the worst anymore. Or at least until something bumps in the night comes this way." He scoffs thinking and saying out loud, "the head mistress going out at night to vanquish evil after grading her papers. You are going to need to stop teaching and be just the head mistress."
He looks at you a bit frustrated, "That is what I am offering, first a relationship before anything else. Sure I want to take you but I have showed great restraint. Trust me..." He takes a settling breathe. "Everyone deserves to be loved. Cleonora how many children do you think I have? Sure I can't be with them as I have duties you know that too. Quince as my master has never asked me about my lives before. Or even what I want... but I am here to help this nation to my best." He takes a moment as his flames were getting a little out of control, as it does when he talks about family and home. Though this time the flames got really dark. It should scare you a little.
He walks away and stretches. Coming back he says, "Eight. I had eight children. All of them dead, most of them by natural means. I had 23 grand children. 41 great grand children. 95, 245, 534, 811, and I could continue but it doesn't matter. I have had relationships many of them. As you can tell three of them were fruitful. I would cherish you as much as my first and the others. It also seems to me you need me. I know you Cleonora and though Journe has insight you willingly gave what I know about you. Honestly I can make your dream come true and I don't have to use wish magic to make it happen. Well there is no promises when you come to outsiders, but if the natural way doesn't work a simple wish can make it happen but that will be our last case when it comes to the precious ones. That is down the line."
Cleonora Petalouda |
"Son or daughter? You do know that Aldori isn't a family like that right?" Cleonora asked. "Anyone can become an Aldori. If they dedicate themselves to the Aldori sword style they give up their last name and take the name Aldori. Our Swordlord doesn't come from Restov, he actually comes from further sound in Mivon." She explained. "The have been separated from those in Restov for so long that their style has become unique. He said he wanted a challenge and I got him the most rewarding one ever. Teaching."
"Oh I don't go gettin' aroun' the high and mighty often." Helena said. "Didn' even know what Baron looked like till we had tea while back." She admitted. "Krafnik? Nah, name don' sound familiar. Though I'm for a face gal ya know?"
-------
"He he kicked the ass of the guy he came to duel." Cleonora said with a small laugh. "Actually Aldori isn't Brevic tradition. Brevoy took over their lands long ago. It was actually that which made them split into the Aldori in Restov and the Aldori in Mivon." She explained when she realized he knew nothing. "Some Aldori ran from the invading armory as they knew they couldn't win but where too proud to bend the knee. They settled in the River Kingdoms and made Mivon. They continued their style of the Aldori sword and in time it became their own. The style isn't over all different from what I've heard, however it is supposedly more brutal then the one in Restov."
"Don' go bowin' ta me!" Helena said as she crossed her arms. "Ya look like a fool. You are welcome for the info though. If ya ever have anymore to ask just come callin'." She said with a nod.
**Edited**
--------
Cleonora listened to him and her eyes watered. She did trust him. She knew Efreet where well known for taking what they wanted yet, Sulvanii never acted against her in any way.
The higher his flames got the more worried, and frightened of him she became. However she stood there and listened to it all. When he finished she closed the gap between them, her hand reached up to cup his cheek not caring if it burned her hand. "Sulvanii..." She whispered in almost a unusual kind tone. "You want this?" Cleonora asked. Not so much in the normal form, but as in asking if being a husband to her and possible father to her future children is something he wanted. "I know you want me physically. And you are a dear friend." She said. "You want to help because I need it. But do you want to be in a relationship like that again? Possibly a father again?" Cleonora asked. Truly she felt she had to ask. Because she knew if this was something they chose to do, for her there wasn't any going back.
Man this is so hard for Cleo! XD
Sulvanii is now one of her few friends and she wants him happy before herself!
