Super Jay Mann posted:I assume he means do all that and get all the skills needed to not get arrow'd in the torso, since you need to reach the birthday party for Awesome Adventures in the first place. That's what I thought he meant, and that's what I was disagreeing with! Recruiting Lucille is certainly not a bad plan, but it isn't necessary for, after going on Awesome Adventures, using magic against the fleet, using a fleet against the fleet, or defeating Togami via magic duel.

Princey posted:The thing about the forest adventure, though, is that you only actually need four skills to get on the path and survive the adventure, and two of those four skill checks require values lower than 50, which means you don't have to waste time training other skills in the same group to remove the cap. And since one of the two >50 checks is Herbs and the other Lore, it's not that out of the way to get the skills necessary to grit your teeth and bear it through the bandit attack. So if you know exactly what the checks are, it's perfectly possible to make it through the forest adventure alive and have some other useful skills -- for example, all the skills necessary to beat Togami in a magic duel, to (via roundabout means) add to the hella yuriness in the ending. Oh, does defeating Togami in the duel after Awesome Adventures change things?

Feinne posted:Oh, does defeating Togami in the duel after Awesome Adventures change things? Well, defeating Togami in the duel changes the kingdom's overall opinion of magic, which changes what happens with Briony a bit, though not as far as her relationship with Elodie is concerned I don't think, but also changes what happens to Julianna. I could probably show that if anyone's curious, or zonohedron could in conjunction with the forest adventure run.

I actually hadn't thought about how to defeat the fleet/Togami in the Awesome Adventure. (I've just started taking screenshots - it's been a busy month.) I shall let the thread decide for me! I can't defeat Togami via Joslyn having a magic mirror (not and also go on Adventures), so these are the options: 1)  2)  3)

It's also possible to run from him, and if you have extremely high Commoner Approval one of them may dive in front of you to protect you. (I say 'may' because that's a scene I have not managed to see, myself.) As far as Awesome Adventures go, I shall Togami (when I get to that point)

And it's heavy as gently caress. Because I have nothing better to do  "Solid gold scepter, taller than you are." Elodie's 14, so let's say she's 1,6 m tall, so let's say the scepter is 1,8 m. She actually has to be able to grasp the thing, so let's say it has a diametre of 5 cm. That means it has a volume of about 3500 cubic centimeters, which means almost 70 kg of gold (155 pounds for you americans). So yeah, heavy as gently caress.

And it's heavy as gently caress. A scepter is a mace with a lot of decoration. Still a perfectly usable blunt instrument. Remind the peasants that these ceremonial trappings have some strictly practical foundations.

   We need to locate Julianna. A rogue Lumen is a danger to the entire domain. Without more clues of where to search, your agents are apparently unable to locate her. You could detail a portion of your army to patrol for signs of her, but that would take them from their other duties. If you offered a reward for her capture, the people of Nova would also aid in the search. However, she was imprisoned once before, and that did not contain her. She's too dangerous to hold. She has to be killed, and quickly, before she has a chance to use her magic. (Some years ago, Julianna spent time with the Duke of Maree and the Duchess of Hellas. Maybe they would have some idea where she's gone.) All right, we'll post her description and offer a reward to anyone who can bring her down.  I can even paint her picture to be sure everyone recognises her. As you wish.Later on week 21...  An enterprising young archer from Mazomba, guided by your artwork, recognised the former Duchess in hiding and managed to get the drop on her. Even a Lumen can't stop an arrow if she doesn't see it coming!  The body was delivered to the palace for verification, and the reward money paid out. Julianna's threat is ended, and you can sleep a bit easier now. Now we know how to kill the witch properly! While we're at it, let's resolve the other loose ends from the Econoprincess playthrough and see what would have happened if the peasants hadn't revolted...        It's a shame we missed out on that epilogue... Next time, Evil Elodie takes revenge on the peasants!

Hedera Helix posted:Didn't we have Brin and Banion executed? Or does the dialogue not change for this bit, whether or not they're still alive? These are from separate playthroughs. Some of the best evil scenes are mutually exclusive, which is why this is more of a montage than a normal run. If Brin and Banion were dead, that check would probably not be available.

You get to decide for yourself which is true I guess? Unless the 'young man' is older than Elodie herself, in which case he might have been conceived, if not born, before Joslyn and Fidelia were married. In that case it's neither infidelity nor someone faking kinship.
