Capt.JohnPaul Posted July 8, 2012 Author Posted July 8, 2012 Do you want to ask Jonothan the Farmer any more questions.If not, you need to cough up 50 gold. Or buy anything from the tavern? Quote
Endgame Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 "Was the tower originally built for Fantome Cruise?" Quote
Capt.JohnPaul Posted July 8, 2012 Author Posted July 8, 2012 "Was the tower originally built for Fantome Cruise?" "No. It was originally a tower owned by Charis generals and leaders. But the Fantome Croise came into Charis with his Dark Crusader army and attacked the town, along with probably every single city in his path. So far, this is the most West he's gotten." Quote

"So Croise is essentially holding the city under his thrall? Has anyone tried or is trying to stop him?" Quote
Capt.JohnPaul Posted July 8, 2012 Author Posted July 8, 2012 "So Croise is essentially holding the city under his thrall? Has anyone tried or is trying to stop him?" "Yes. Of course not! What can we do? We're a bunch of peasants and farmers with pitchforks, they're armed and experienced soldiers. I mean, we have a few guards loyal to Charis here, but they aren't as armored. And no one knows about this! They don't want word to get out. That's probably why they hate you." Quote

Everyone usually hates me for one reason or another." I lower my voice to a whisper. "You're part of the rebellion, are you not?" Quote

"Yes, I am. My farmer friends can help. They are reluctant to fight, so they require 5 gold each. The farmers double the speed in which you can build equipment and siege engines, and they get you more material. They can operate the engines for you too, so you can fight up-close. If they fight, they reduce an enemy's HP by 3 before they die. Quote

"We've already recruited the two lovely ladies in the corner of the bar over there. I believe an alliance is in order. We've found a blind spot in the woods in the Tower's defenses, so ideally we can head there during the night with our equipment and open fire. This may be a fun "vacation" indeed... Also, I've heard a rumor or two that a Princess got nabbed and is being held in the tower. Oldest cliche in the book, but would you be able to shed any light on this?" Quote

There is someone named Princess Kathlene in the very top floor being held prisoner. The Croise did this apparently because, Kathlene has interfered with the Fantome Croise's "New World." Bad news though, people who are held in the top floor are soon executed. Someone just was before you arrived." Quote

I stroke my chin in thought, mulling over the information. "So we're now under time-pressure if we want to save Kathleen, hm? She'd be vital in undermining Fantome if we free her." Quote

Trust me, it's not just the Croise and his little band, he has an invasion force composed of devout followers, who are currently guarding cities he's already captured." Quote

If Charis isn't as heavily guarded as other Fantome conquered towns, now would be the perfect time to cut off the snakes head before the main forces move in. Do you two have any questions for Jonothan?" Quote
