I don't have a unit...

DAMN YOU FOUL FOUL WITCH!

If anyone is wondering why Onamont is calling Henzo, a male character, a witch:
1. Because I think it's funny
2. He couldn't spell "sorcerer" and "wizard" sounded like a compliment

Well... you don't have a unit.

I can still wander into Hcallow on murderous, just to see what happens.

Interesting topic about hours and how they are spent. Erik already had a complaint, but it was: "You cannot work and take care of your correspondence at the same time?"

Forgetting the case of a Lord who writes all his letters by himself, the others have scribes. Even when you're holding courts are likely to consider you can dictated a letter between a complaint and another, especially if the subject is more important than listening to the commoners. Lords also have seneschals, stewards, etc. Following a serious logic, would be unlikely to write a letter in the middle of night, especially an order, but it happens all the time in-game.
Now with the Skovgaard Family... and it's gone.
Serpentis again!

Let's not get into this again... my character's thinking doesn't have to be logical (and by what he's been doing, more than likely isn't).

I just read Onamont's string of messages to Folcard and almost fell out of my chair laughing.

It's making the ruler channel a lot more dramatic (and enjoyable)  :D

Indirik

My character, Ralina, will be accompanying Onamont as his second for the duel.

Has Victus had anything to say about it? If so, it's nothing he's shared with Caelum, which is quite surprising to me to be honest.

Folcard is a renowned swordsman.

I would wager he's not interfering because he's betting Folcard can kill Onamont, removing a thorn in his side.

Also: Liara Anaris is the new target, unless Folcard makes an issue of it. Onamont's dispute is with the policy, as personified in the leader, and Folcard's eventual honorable behavior (and subsequent excellent warrior etiquette) mean that he has no particular desire to fight Folcard anymore.

Folcard is DEFEATED.

By elections.

Muwahahahahaha.

And now Liara won't fight me.

Meh.

Looks like Onamont is doomed to live forever. :)

Um...duh?

She's a priestess, mate. Not to mention an Anaris (who isn't Kenarth).

I'm not sure what you expected ;D

See, now, one of the things that too many people in BattleMaster forget is that dueling isn't something where if you're challenged, you're automatically a coward if you refuse.

Dueling over a point of honour only works if both parties can agree that there's even a point of honour in contention. Liara, first of all, doesn't even know who Onamont is or what his quarrel is with Riombara. He made some vague noises about Riombara's war with Enweil being unjust or something, but...well, being a ruler is all about both being responsible for your realm's actions and not having to personally duel people who find them reprehensible.

That, after all, is what armies are for.

Ha! A coward's words, if ever I heard them!

Right, you have champions to do it for you.

Riombara's threatening to invade Caelum! You heard it, right ? You're all my witnesses!
