I don't think Stiletto's the ideal choice. I suspect he might use too much money on luxuries for himself. I also don't think he's someone who would actually WANT the responsibility.

And I think at the moment of time the Dark Elves need a military mind. Givwe Rapier the military but be ruled over Stiletto and I think we might get a civil war.

>>16522
Of course, they all already had power over the city, so way to not change anything, Mudy.

>>16523
But we DID.
We got them to work together and we gave them a reason to stop waiting for their mother to come back and take charge.

Mudy sits down.
>"I put you all in charge, now that you have learned the importance of working together. I trust that you realize the weight of your positions, and are willing to take charge and carry out the duty you've been charged with. I have the utmost faith in you."

The entire room erupts with loud cheers and praise.
Outside trumpets spontaneously sound. Mudy can hear and feel the entire city celebrating.

>>16523
Actually, it is very important.

This is psychological. Not only for the royal family itself. That is important to as it solidifies their will to lead as one rather than dragging their feet hoping someone takes the responsibility.

But it makes them legitimate co-rulers of the dark elf kingdom. No one can dispute their right to call shots.

>>16527
Alright.

Well, lets go get some new duds for us and for Raital, and spend time together until it is WEDDING TIME.

Amidst all the celebrations, Darkmoon Rapier announces the marriage of his daughter and Totenkopf, and that the wedding will take place today.
Another series of cheers erupts. This day of celebration will be going down in history.

Raital runs over to Mudy from the VIP crowd and gives him a warm hug.
>"I'm so proud, Latral!"

A servant also approaches him, appearing much calmer than the surrounding crowd.
>"Excusink me, lordship. A friend of yours is vhantink to be seeink you. Please followink me."

>>16543
...ask for a name.

>>16543
Bring Raital. Also, bring BACKUP. Could be another trap.

Possibly Calavera.

Ask him what Kuhral wants.

>>16543
I have a bad feeling about this...

Ask for a name, ask for a description, and bring Raital along with you in case you need to kill something.

>>16548
Oh fuck. Wait. This is a good thing. BET YOUR SOUL AGAIN!

Mudy: Check out that BEJEWELED COLLAR.

Look FAMILIAR?

Get your Posse, Mudy, and arm for Bear.

Kuhral's in town.

>>16543
Its dangerous to go alone. Take Raital.

>>16543
In before he has his eyes closed because THEY'RE NOT THERE ANYMORE.

>>16543
Yup, definitely Kuhrahl's bound minion.

Well, lets ask for a name, and see what he says.

>>16543
Thank Raital.
And ask the servant who this friend is.
Also TAKE RAITAL WITH YOU. Every time we wander off alone we end up walking straight into a trap or otherwise life threatening situation eventually.

>>16551
...you do remember she cheats, right?

we can psych kuhrel out. Trust me.

Mudy's eyes lock onto the collar.
He asks the servant what Kuhral wants.

>"Am not givink choice, prince Mudy Latral. Mistress not havink interest in Firevhater, but vhill comink to gettink you if you vhill stayink here."

>>16567
"We were going to be leaving after the wedding anyways. But, before you go and report back to your Mistress...tell me.

What the hell is the deal with the eyes? She have a fetish or something?"

>>16567
Then try and get us, if she dares.
What does she want, anyway?

Ride on Raital's shoulders to go meet Kuhral.

>>16567
Kuhral is the second Blutjaeger. She is POWERFUL. More powerful than Raital, even.
That means she can kill Raital. And because Raital has more HP than the strongest Darkmoon, that means she can probably take out everyone in this room.
Tell Raital to hide. We don't want anything to happen to her, and Kuhral is after her, not us.
Ask the Darkmoons if we can have a couple guards, but don't expect them to be able to do anything. It's PURELY for the look of the thing. We need to be confident.
And... let's go speak with Kuhral.

Raital will probably follow us out of jealousy.

Raital is not going to be much help. In fact she will be in mortal danger. Leave her to relative safety.

entire city vs Kuhral

Seriously? Is that even right? Bitch would die so fast.

There is a third option. We can move on, leaving Firewater alone and avoiding the Blutjaegers.

>>16576
Idiot. Totenkopf can take out cities alone and he's a shit load weaker than any Blutjaegar aside from Latral.

Kuhral is so far out of Firewater's league that it's just stupid.

Ride Raital over to Kuhral. Then have sex on the ground with Raital in front of Kuhral.

>>16576
Stormplague has a problem with her. No dice.

>>16567
...Well, Raital can't defeat Kuhrahl without a great deal of luck, and bringing enough people to give a good chance of being able to beat her would likely destroy Firewater.

So, lets do what we always do: use diplomacy.
Lets go with a couple guards (ones who have survived a few campaigns and know when to duck, if possible) so that we appear formal, and go meet her.

But lets wear a robe or something, so when necessary we can reveal our sexy clothes to confuse her.

>>16567

To Raital: "Wait for me here, if I don't come back don't come looking for me. I love you, goodbye."

Load up any available allies and go get her.

>>16231
"Tell her I appreciate that she's left Firewater out of our personal disputes.
...
Very well. Let's go Raital."
WE'RE NOT LEAVING HER BEHIND
She saved our ass from THREE blutjaegers once, I'm sure she could at least whisk us away from ONE if things get bad. Plus things always go to hell eventually when we're alone.

AND MAKE SURE YOU INFORM THE DARKMOONS ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING!

>>16567
Something else to consider is that we might want to take this moment to make a dramatic exit - we don't want to get Kuhral into town, and we really don't need to confront her. We know what she's here for - she wants to off Raital and Mudy. She's also more powerful than us.

Our work here is done - we've united the Dark Elf Rangers against the Skullking, and they shall show up to form a giant mecha for the final battle. Time to go to the sea!

We might need to go alone.

We can't risk Raital being in the middle of an extermination squad out for her REMEMBER? SHE IS BEING HUNTED BY THEM. WE CAN'T TAKE HER.

They don't know we are Latral either. We should probably go alone.

>>16600
...that actually might work. Her goal is us, so if we neither go to her nor wait in Firewater, she will have to pursue us. Thusly, we avoid meeting her while simultaneously sparing Firewater from her and continuing on our journey.

>>16605
Except there's no way Raital will let us. Even if we manage to escape she will try to follow.

>>16597
Y'know what I take that back. We could leave Firewater out of this another way...

"Tell her I appreciate that she's left Firewater out of our personal disputes.
And then tell her that I and my companions will be leaving for the Kraken Sea.
If she wants so badly to meet us she can meet us there."

Take Raital with you. Grab as much of the Mudy-Posse as you can locate between here and where Collar-eyes leads you. Let the Darkmoons know there's an unfriendly Blutjager around, and they should take precautions.

STRUT in there, kick open the door, and find out what that fat cat-ass wants.

Confront Kuhral
Lead her back to this room
Kill that bitch with the whole Darkmoon backing you up, or terminate the rule of this city after you just united it.

THIS COULDNT POSSIBLY BACKFIRE

Whichever route we take, we absolutely need to go get Bladetree and Axebeard again - if we're going to leave, they're coming with us. Dagger and Totenkopf are staying, obviously and sadly.

Also we should get somebody to grab her boobs.

>>16567
Tell a servant to tell the high table that more of the family is apparently visiting, or do it yourself.
Head out after the servitor.

...where did Reaver go?

>>16664
His intertron went kablooie.
He will be back soon.

>>16666
Im on the same provider he is, in the same city he is, my interbutts is fine :|

He tells Raital to get Axebeard and Bladetree from the VIP section and meet him outside.

>>16878
That seems like a bad idea, actually. Whenever we are left alone, it seems shit always goes the wrong way for us. I suggest keeping Raital with us and having a servant go fetch Axebeard and Bladetree whilst the two of us go outside.

A moment later Mudy and his companions have discretely left the gathering.
The servant leads them away from the palace.

Mudy runs the other way.

>>16880
This, keep Raital with us.

Hopefully the servant doesn't have any abilities other than being able to see when having no eyes.

Before the servant can react, the party has left him in the dust.

Shortly after they arrive at the Sandworm docks to plan their escape.

Do you think this is clever? Kuhral could destroy Firewater in her rage, when she sees that we're gone.

>>16886
The dark elves are pretty hardy. Plus, they've got several people that might be able to put up a fight while everyone else in the city runs away. ...but I dunno why Kuhral would do that, as it'd let her main quarry get even further away.

>>16885

It is.
Resist the urge to headbutt that fucker in the nuts and find Cheryl as fast as you can. Get to the Kraken Islands or Dorf Country.

Mudy cries out for Cheryl.

The ground rumbles as the massive creature bursts out of the sand.

>"~~~YEEEEEESS CUUUUUTTEEEEEEYYYY~~~"

Make her take you far away. Dorfen lands sounds good to me.

I'll miss Tot and Dagger.

We'll have to make it up to them with lavish gifts.

Cheryl already begins to move and speed up as the group climbs on in a hurry.

Mudy hears a familair voice behind him.
>"Muudyy!! Prince Muuudy!!"

Stop the sandworm, if Cheryl isn't too single-minded. It might be Tot and Dagger coming along to put off their marriage until later.

>>16895
That is either Totenkopf and Dagger or it's Calavera and someone with tits. But judging by the visible arm and the tits, it's probably Tot and Dagger.

>>16895

Uh oh, clean getaway ruined. Shouldn't leave without saying goodbye to them anyway.

"Tote, Darkmoon... I am sorry that I can't be able to attend your wedding but Kuhral has appeared. In order to spare the city I must flee right this moment. I wish you the very best luck and hope that we will meet again when all this is over. You have each other now and you should make the most of it. You two have been dearest friends to me, goodbye."

Or be interrupted as they board Cheryl?

Let's not ruin their marriage.

"Let's go, Cheryl!"

"I'm sorry, we have to leave so soon! Don't let us get in the way of your bond!"

Mudy continues to wave as Totenkopf and Darkmoon Dagger disappear into the distance.

Suggest to Raital that Mudy hopes they can be married in Firewater some day also. As soon as they are able to defeat the skullking.

Turn to Raital, "So much for our date I had planned.."

Continue from this morning. Axebeard and Bladetree can deal with the shadow - It's about time they pulled their weight.

He blacks out.

Shit. Shit shit shit. Well, I guess it was inevitable. Seeing we've more or less been able to get by simply because they've not apparently bothered too much yet. And now they did. One glance and we're down already.

Shit.

It's moments like these that suddenly make people realize how very futile our quest is. Luhra Luhra isn't even the first heir, much less Skullking, and she knocks us out by just looking at us funny. She could probably kill everyone on the sandworm by waving her arm a bit towards us.
And yet, it must be done.
