So, what, everyone sits in a circle, munching bread? How expensive would that be? No, this divination is going straight into someone's pocket, and I don't think it's worth it.

Is that the mawther sect? The cells being of size nine would fit their heretical view of the Mother and Her daughters, while resetting civilization would allow them the space to practice their murderous immortality rituals safely.
Or do we have 2 fantasy illuminati organizations running around?


For this dilemma, no clue? We probably need the army at home to deal with the hollow maidens more than sacking this tower to get at the tasty tasty knowledge inside. On the other hand, tasty tasty knowledge inside.

The other lore sticker has Ommad and his eight hollow maidens. Could be a cell, could be the inspiration for all cells to come.

If Celestina is part of the group she’s doing a piss-poor job of staying in the shadows.

Not an easy decision to make this time. It seems like it would be a waste to have found this tower, only to just turn around and go home. But perhaps there's a reason why there's a sticker for deciding against violence. It could be that turning away is the actual path to wisdom.

As far as House Pinchay is concerned, I'm willing to give peace a chance. It's going to be Nay for us.

Hmmmm this is a tough one. The knowledge we need about this Black Dawn is probably in this temple.

I'm not sure yet what the best option for House Lethe is, but House Lethe will offer you 2 coins if your House commits to passing here.

LPFinale
Dec 8, 2019

Sitting Councilmember

This is a tough call to make. However, it's one House Gambol is willing to take a firm stance on. That Library and its contents may be our only clue into the operations of those who slither in the dark of Ankist. We would see fit to greatly support Aye.

In addition, House Gambol is willing to make an offer:

- To the first 2 Houses who come forward for the deal,

- House Gambol will provide 6 Coins in exchange for 2+ Power on Aye

- Should any House put more Power on Aye than House Gambol, House Gambol will assume Signing Rights so you are not burdened with the Negative Sticker. However,

- Should your House have legitimate interest in obtaining this Negative Sticker, you may opt into a slightly different set of conditions where House Gambol provides 4 Coins without assuming Signing Rights if your House commits more Power, since we wouldn't be paying to ensure Signing Rights.

To make declaring said intentions easier, here are the two versions of this deal your House may seek to accept:

Deal A: 6 Coins in exchange for 2+ Power on Aye and House Gambol assuming Signing Rights

Deal B: 4 Coins in exchange for 2+ Power on Aye; you retain your Signing Rights

Quackles

Dear House Pinchay: We stand with you, and plan to also strongly vote Nay.

Would you be amenable to selling signing rights, by the way? We're a tad short on stickers at the moment. An opening bid of 4 Coins seems fair, but we're open to negotiation.

If I'm going to be honest, I'll have to hear from House Cyfoeth before I say anything definite about signing rights. If House Lethe and Gambol are both committed to Aye, they can counter our votes pretty dang hard. And if they can get Cyfoeth onboard as well, then it's probably best to go along with Gambol or Lethe's offers instead.

House Lethe is still unsure of which side we will take, but intend to invest heavily in it. Aye is better for us short-term, Nay long-term. And potential signing implications with both.
