KNIGHTS

[dramatispersonae]

There is cauldron in the center over your area. The walls are tinged in your team's colors, but besides the cauldron, it's bare.

The water in the cauldron is glowing faintly.

Then, Nimue speaks, and as she speaks, the cauldron begins to reflect her vision.

"There lies a kingdom in ruin... Through no fault of its own. All of its inhabitants dead, or lost to the world. Though it lies in ruin, you can see the the faint remnants of the beauty it once contained."

A pause, her voice sounds fainter now.

"Heroes... you have choices that we do not. How... would you use them...?"

Re: Scenario two

He'd have to be discredited before the king left.

Re: Scenario two

[noeyeinteam]

If he has the king's trust, it will be difficult to discredit him.

Plus, he has magic. He could use that.

Re: Scenario two

[legitimizes]

It's not like we're helpless ourselves. Waiting until he lets the enemies inside to stop him is too risky.

Re: Scenario two

[noeyeinteam]

I agree.

Disrupting the signal to allow the enemy in would be priority if we know who is the guilty party.

[or we could just kill him and face the king's wrath buuut...]

Re: Scenario two

[legitimizes]

We could just wait to confirm who he is and kill him quietly.

Re: Scenario two

[noeyeinteam]

... and then the king would figure us for traitors.

Let's not get executed by our king.

Re: Scenario two

[legitimizes]

Thus the "quietly".

Re: Scenario two

[noeyeinteam]

How about we save the murder for when we can be assured he hasn't left other things in play and our king won't find out.

Re: Scenario two

[legitimizes]

Alright, so find him and keep close tabs on him, while cutting off his ability to act.

That's risky though.

Re: Scenario two

[noeyeinteam]

It is, but no less risky than anything else in this scenario.

Disrupting his work would be the best option.

Re: Scenario two

[legitimizes]

Agreed. But leaving him alive to try again later is a gamble.

Re: Scenario two

[noeyeinteam]

We'll see what happens.

Re: Scenario two

[legitimizes]

Don't forget, if we're not careful, his actions result in the fall of the kingdom and the deaths of hundreds.

Even if it's hypothetical, that's still not a situation to act too shyly in.

Re: Scenario two

[noeyeinteam]

You don't have to tell me that.

[going to get a memory back that involves being willing to kill his own student to keep conflict from breaking out, thanks very much]

Re: Scenario two

[legitimizes]

[That'll be fun for you maybe I can huff on your feelings when you get it.]

Right.

Re: Scenario two

[justaking]

The problem is confirming who he is. If he's subtle, it's possible he may place a scapegoat.

Re: Scenario two

[legitimizes]

It's possible, but unless we wait until the last minute, won't that always be a risk?

Re: Scenario two

[justaking]

Killing on suspicion alone isn't beneficial. You may end up killing allies and doing the traitor a favor.

Re: Scenario two

[legitimizes]

Then cut off his actions as we confirm it.
