On a related note, this is as good a time as any to learn voice. Ciphering could also be useful, I bet.

I vote for Military x 2!.

This situation seems like a failed check waiting to happen! Surely our princess with no skills whatsoever in Athletics will be fine. Run and hide. Calling the guards will just get Julianna in trouble;by the way, why is there no "Call Julianna, she's sitting right there and we already know she knows how to use a sword and/or magic" option?

We should Pick options that lead to Elodie becoming Angry, because that will probably boost her Weapons(Swords!) skills.

I vote for Falcons and anything in Agility.

MegaZeroX: A suggestion... What if instead of counting votes for morning and afternoon lessons separately, you count it all together and then use the winner for the morning lessons, and the runner up for the afternoon. I know it's not that precise, but it would be a lot less fiddly for us voters. For example, now if I want to train Falcons, I need to reread all the posts and check whether it's better voting for them in the morning or in the afternoon. I'd very much appreciate if I could just throw my vote and not care about AM and PM. People can still double-vote, in that case you count the second eg. Falcons as a separate entity. Like this:

Dogs - 11
Falcons - 9
Horses - 6
Falcons x2 - 2

Call the guards! And let's go for Logistics in the morning and Reflexes in the afternoon. Maybe this time it'll win.

It is incredibly tempting to vote with climbing the hedge to see if it can be pushed to win, if only out of curiosity if this is going to lead to an untimely death/injury via falling off a hedge or getting stabbed in the face, but...Have the lessons in court manners taught nothing? We are a princess, we do not go mounting shrubberies. We have people to deal with mysterious miscreants.
Guards, Guards!

I also support the notion of using that bonus to military learnings. Never know when logistics and strategy could come in handy.

But then it will be pretty rare for double votes to win. I've been tossing around the idea to have only one pool of votes and if the top one is more than double the the second place vote in points, it will win. I guess next time I can try that out.

If one skill is at 50 or will reach 50, selecting it in PM and the last skill you need to raise above 25 in the AM, then it would matter. Other than that, it doesn't matter.

Important: I have changed the voting system. I will no longer discern between AM and PM classes. If the first place skill has more than double the second, than we will double up on the first place skill. Otherwise, it will be the top two skills.

Hedge Choice

Call Guards: 12

Climb up to look over the hedge: 9

Run and hide: 2

Class Points

Swords: 26.5

Logistics: 18.1

Ciphering: 15.4

Every other skill < 10

The exact class vote stats can be found here.

However, by the time the response is organised and directed to the area beyond the palace, there's no sign of any intruder. You wonder if you were only imagining it.



We should see if we can get our Lumen crystal from the treasury.





It seems Elodie will need more presence and/or a knowledge of what money is in order to get into the treasury





It took a whole week for Elodie to just learn how to hold a sword. :rolleyes:



Good. Worst case scenario, Elodie will at least know how food works.







Oh, my lady! I'm so sorry!



I can't say I'm surprised, but Elodie failed 5 skill checks this update. This is only a sign of what is to come.

There are multiple things to vote on. First, what should we do? Second, what mood do you want to put Elodie into (or should she stay willful)? The bonuses and penalties of the three we have seen are in the second post. Voting "whatever gets us a bonus to ..." doesn't count. You need to state an emotion. Discovery is a big part of LLTQ. Finally, what classes should she take next week?

Note that the bonuses and penalites may be different next week depending on which mood the thread decides on and whether willful will still be the strongest emotion next week.
