The Liberation of Tenh (updated April 24)

Sounds like some kind of hive mind. Nice vision, too.

Prisantha dismisses the notion with a wave. “Thrommel is lacking in many areas. There’s more to life than power, I decided, and after all, I’ve seen all of us naked.”

“You have?” Heydricus asks. “Well . . . that’s a small thing."

You owe me a $4 latte. Cripes.

That was beautiful.

“I’ve got the list,” Lucius says from the doorway, tapping his forehead. “Druid f-ckers, Calibut and Zeflen, the Lord of Stoink, the Boneheart. But not necessarily in that order.”

“I don’t think we’ve decided to kill the Lord of Stoink,” Prisantha says.

“Whatever,” Lucius replies.

Classic!

So... what "private joke" were Heydricus and Prisantha chuckling over? Have they done the deed?!

Also, (contact), any chance of a statblock for Belvor?

So... what "private joke" were Heydricus and Prisantha chuckling over?

I would guess they are still chaste -- regarding each other, in Heydricus' case -- and were laughing about something else.

"Thrommel’s great wedding speech is a stiffly given, unrehearsed event. But with Belvor at his left, and his new bride at his right, the once and future prince manages to say the right things, compliment those who need it, thank those who deserve it, and subtly leave no doubt in the minds of Furyondy’s more savvy politicians that he means to someday sit the throne."

I seriously doubt that Thrommel is capable of such a speech, especially the subtle parts. Especially damning is the fact that (contact) mentions the absence of Pris and Heydricus immediately after that paragraph.

I'd say that they took Lucius' warning, had Pris corral the real prince, and had a disguised Heydricus give the speech.

But it's just a guess. I'd say that if they *do* ever fall into bed together, it will get more than a passing mention in this story hour. I seriously doubt it will ever happen until the campaign ends, though... I think the players are having too much fun with the unspoken sexual tension. Or at least, that's the way the Story Hour is written.

Good points, wolff96. It also occurs to me that Pris could have dominated Thrommel and made him say what seemed best (probably with Heydricus's advice). Sort of like in the movie The Wedding Planner when J-Lo's character is feeding a speech to the best man through a hidden earpiece.

Not that I've seen that movie more than once or anything.

 

[the_mighty_agrippa]

I dunno. Thrommel has shown remakrable capacity as a leader, just not in combat. He can whip up the masses, as evidenced by his recruitment efforts for Heydricus.

In good news, Prisantha's player had her baby this morning about 2 a.m. In a one hour (!) labor, nonetheless. Heydricus' player caught the baby, as the birth was so quick, the midwife had yet to arrive! Congrats to both of them and to the newest Little Liberator, Emily Rose.

 

[KidCthulhu]

Please give my congratulations to both of them. That's great news. And a lovely name. Hope mom and baby are doing well.

 

[the_mighty_agrippa]

Wow! Please congratulate her for me.
