OH SHIT A GHOST!
FUCK OFF, GHOST!

Tell her that you just need that bandit lord dead before you can go with her. The more bandits "dealt with" lethally or non-lethally, the better.

>>666615
Spirit of the dead? Perhaps... the spirit of the girl you avenged?
Man it would be great if, as you avenge people, they show up as ghosts to assist you. Then you won't have to rely so heavily on surprise attacks and indirect kills.

Regardless, you are an old woman camping in the woods. Should be little reason for anyone to be hostile to you. Also, uh, if you tried to fight I expect you would lose easily since you have no element of surprise and are currently prone. Ask who it is, maybe shield your eyes to get a good look at them.

>>666615
Tell the spirit you have no fear of death left, but you would prefer to be allowed to complete your vengeance.

She doesn't look like much like Lutezia. Nor any woman i have ever seen in my village. I can't still see her features.

She lean toward me as i sit and try to take a good look at her face.

I can't really understand her features. Her entire face seems to be covered in shadows or... smoke? That's definitively weird.

I ask her if she's a ghost or a spirit.

No answer.

I tell her that i'm not afraid of her, but that i have a vengeance to complete, a man to kill.

No answer. I'm half tempted to just go back to sle.

???: Vengeance

Gods, that can't be a natural voice. I felt my spine freeze for a second.

She's still not moving. Glaring at me. At least i think she's glaring, since i can't see her face at all.

Describe what the man and his thugs have done to your village, and that he intends to do this to other villages.

I seek vengence, but am old and weak. I need sleep for strength. If you are here to kill me get on with it, and if can lend me strength i will take it and invite you to travel with me on my path to damnation. If it neither of these, leave me be, i need my strength saved for important work.

The only god we worship here is the One Lady, Giver of life and beauty. She appears to people as a white dressed female figure with a golden halo surrounding her head.

I sit in a more comfortable way, and i start telling her my story. The whole massacre, the laugh of the bastard and the horror of seeing my own nephew on the ground, dead.

It's possible that was a warning, that vengeance will only lead to suffering and death. On the other hand if you don't stop him he will keep killing. So we should keep going.

>>669580
There's nothing you can do for him. He's buried, your promises mean nothing. Your murder does, though.

Deal with the bandits for the sake of the living, not the dead. I decided to help you because you were willing to deal with an active and serious threat, not to obtain some profitless revenge.

Come to think of it, can you tell us more about your family? Your neighbors? We'd like to make sure that you're not some AI, a sentient golem convinced that she was a mere peasant.

Maybe there was a real reason why they slaughtered everyone. But I doubt it.

you only just recently seen everyone you cared about dead, that is gonna cause plenty of nightmares, i doubt you will get over them before you die.

Might also want to check around the campsite to make sure that was just a dream and nothing too prophetic.

I don't see anything different from yesterday. The fire died while i was sleeping. It's almost dawn already. So i guess it's time to get up and move.

>welp...Nothing like a little terror to get the heart beating. Thanks dreams. Time to get walking.

The last marauder said that they should be half a day away from where we are, following the main road. Should i keep going that way? or keep to the woods? What do you think?

You don't have much time. Follow.

Go that way. Whichever way that is.

>>671649
You'll make faster time along the road, and I'm not sure there's any reason not to go along the road. Some might fear a bandit ambush, but you're just an old granny, why would they bother with you?

>you're just an old granny, why would they bother with you?
Because we're an old granny coming from places where those folks have already been, and murdered everyone. It's a question of just how much order of march and force discipline this group has--do they have a rearguard that's actually guarding the rear?

>>671649
cut them off using the forest. you'll be faster than they are and you know where they are going. try to warn the town maybe?

>>671903
I am pretty sure she is not faster than them. The only reason we caught those three bandits in the forest was because one of them was injured and being tended by the other two.

Until we get a method of fast transport like a horse and cart or something, the best we can do is catch up while they're busy pillaging or partying.

Then i'll probably have to follow the path. In case they decided to move to another village or road i can take from that.

Weird. I don't recognize him at all.

If you had much to live for I'd be more suspicious.

Whatever, rescue the guy. Maybe he can continue your quest if you're incapacitated.

I'm here to avenge my family and village. But you would not kill an old lady like me, would you? You have honor those dogs never had. I will hunt them. But first, I will free you.

IF you tell me who you have killed. Every last one of them.

This could be a trap... but if so, then this guy's REALLY good at faking the stupid.

Guys like these don't really care for the lives of civilians, or else they'd put more stock into the consequences of their wars. He's not sadistic or anything, it's just that his beliefs focus more on the philosophy of war than the benefits (and problems) of peace.

He wants an honorable death? Untie him. You can take out the remaining bandits together or fight to the death fight here and now.

Tell him that his former comrades wronged you. Tell him that HE wronged you.

If he wants to find honour in death, he must first restore his honour in life by helping you avenge those they have slain. Demand that he swears that on the souls of his warrior ancestors. Only then untie him.

>>675580
Free him. "well, are you going to let this old woman beat you to a warrior's death?"

We can use him to ambush the enemy. We have him wait in the woods, while we get a few of them at a time to chase us into the woods. rinse and repeat.

I tell him that you can give him a chance to get his warrior death, after all. If he promises to help me take revenge on the rest of the marauders.

Uther: "You vish to face them?"

I tell him that i will have my revenge or die trying

Uther: "Spoken like a true varrior. I pledge my shield to you, babikka. Cut my ropes and i'll cut your enemies down in exchange. I swear on my family name."

That is true, this person is built like a Ox with fingers.

Yes, this should do fine.

I ask him what he knows about the Wraith.

Uther: "Vraith comes ven your time is short and you have unresolved things to do. They feed on pain and desperation. It looks like shadow man, and alvays come after you if you are not determined enough. Vraithz kill and take your body. Then you die and your soul can't get to the halls of battlez."

The description fits the woman in my dreams.

But that was just a dream.

I hope...

Ask Uther if he thinks if it's a good idea to continue following the raiders off the road. He is a warrior, he must know more about pursuing the enemy than an old peasant woman.

Good ideas.

Uther: "Vell. Ze force lead by ze smiling moron counted almost three dozenz people. But i have to admit none of them vere good soldiers. troop vasn't marching correctly. Too many people not vorking nor folloving orders. Ve have alvays moved too slovly. Ve should catch up vith them quickly if ve stick to ze roads and then hide.

>>680331
Uther, our goal is to ensure that they will not be capable of harming further non-combatants. If we have to poison them, so be it; would your ancestors, would any rational person, compliment you if you fought these bandits in the middle of nowhere and risked everything when you could have ended their raids on innocent people with cunning and patience?

In all seriousness, we expect that you'll probably get detected, so prepare for a fight. But we should try the path of least resistance first. Besides, you need some stealth practice.

we can handle the poisons, an old woman shouldn't be getting into a melee. uther can fight hand to hand any that chase us.

Tell Uther that those men don't deserve his warrior's way. Warrior's way is for honourable men. They need to be dealt with like the vermin they are. With traps and poison.

They are beyond honour, so expedience and effectiveness trump honour and valour here, but as we have recruited Uther to our cause (hopefully for his redemption or at least to give him vengeance on the swine who've tainted his honour) we would duly respect any information and ideas he can contribute to making sure to 1) survive long enough to kill them all, 2) kill them all, 3) if we can manage this to torture the particularly guilty to death... but that last one is strictly less important than the first two.

>They are beyond honour, so expedience and effectiveness trump honour and valour here, but as we have recruited Uther to our cause (hopefully for his redemption or at least to give him vengeance on the swine who've tainted his honour) we would duly respect any information and ideas he can contribute to making sure to 1) survive long enough to kill them all, 2) kill them all, 3) if we can manage this to torture the particularly guilty to death... but that last one is strictly less important than the first two.

>we can handle the poisons, an old woman shouldn't be getting into a melee. uther can fight hand to hand any that chase us.

I tell him that since it's my revenge, we are going to do things my way. That those murderers don't deserve a warrior death, and beside we are outnumbered and won't be able to win a direct fight

Uther: "As you wish babikka. Your way will be"

He takes the lead and move into the woods. He seems to know what he's doing and where to go.

After a couple of hours, he signal me to hide under a tree and wait.

From behind our cover, he points in front of us.

I barely see anything until i hear a loud swear and see a person coming out from the shadow of the woods, picking sticks.

He's wearing similar clothes to the marauders and he's armed.

I turn to silently ask if he is one of them. Uther nods.

He then looks at me. Probably waiting for something. An order? Or maybe he's waiting to see what i do?

Wait for the target to reach for another stick with his left hand. Then throw all of your knives at the guy; aim for center mass. Also, don't be concerned about his combat ability or if he is left handed, just shut him up.

Uther, charge.

try to signal uther getting behind him. then pretend to be a helpless old lady and distract them.

He's gathering firewood. If we wait and follow him, he'll lead us to more of them.

Wait for a few moments. He might not be alone. If he is, motion to Uther to get the guy into a chokehold. He won't be able to scream that way and Uther could easily snap his neck with those bear arms of his if he proves to be too uncooperative.

>>684164
hes got a blade, if we restrain him for information we need to immobilize that arm. probably break it.

True. It's better to wait a little.

he seems to be alone though. He's talking to himself, complaining how he won't bet anymore for firewood duty.

I signal Uther to move around. He nods and quietly disappears.

Then i step out and say hi

???: "Vat the fuck?"

Uther appears behind the guy before he even manage to react.

I take his dagger while Uther blocks him and threatens him with the axe.

I tell him that he's our prisoner.

??? "V-vat? Vat is going on here..."

Uther pushes the blade a little more on his neck.

Uther: "Now. Be a gut boy and lizten to thebabikka"

He nods slowly

Uther: "All yourz, babikka"

The maraunder is terrified, voices. That should help us, right?

Either Uther is really crazy strong, or that guy has glass nose.

Ask him about his leader's whereabouts and their camp's layout. If you have any luck, you might need to only light a fire in the right place at the right time.

List of questions:

1. What is the leader's name / title / social status?
2. How many soldiers are currently following him?
3. What are the major locations of bandit camps?
4. Why are they raiding?
5. What are their current assets?
6. What are the credentials of the bandits (farmers, ex-guards, deposed nobles)?
7. What are the general fighting styles and abilities of the bandits?
8. How much supernatural ^&*( is going on?
9. How many Nords besides Uther did the boss hire?
10. Would he like his arms or his legs broken.

Threaten to bite off pieces of his [mushroom] for every lie he says. And then pour disease fluids into each bite hole for every injury Uther suffers because his misleading trickery.

>>690343
How many of them are there nearby? Why are they not with the main group?

>>690343
"Where is your camp, and who, and how many guard it...what is for dinner, and where is it?

it does not matter what he says this time. Break his left hand.

Ask the exact same question again.

It does not matter what he says, break his right hand.

Ask the exact same question again.

It does not matter what he says, break his Left Foot.

Ask the exact same question again.

It does not matter what he says, break his Right Foot.

"I will ask you one last time, and then we work our way up your limbs...Where is your camp, who and how many guard it, and what is for dinner, and where is dinner in your camp?"

This time will be the truth...

Stab him in the remaining eye with his dagger and be done with it, we are out for revenge, and while we are on a path of monsters, we are not one.

>>690357
Torture does not actually work, lads. He'll just say what he thinks we want to hear.

>>690395
>not a monster
>using torture

>>690396
>>690403
snap his neck and be done with it then. No point in conversation with animals.

Mmmmh. better make things clear. I tell Uther to keep him still.

And then i put my foot on his finger.

I tell him i'm going to break his finger one by one if he doesn't answer me.

???: "I will! I will! Anything you want to know!"

>1. What is the leader's name / title / social status?

???: "I-i don't know i swear. He's some sort of noble. He hired my unit back in the country and we don't care as long as we get paid."

>2. How many soldiers are currently following him?

???: "W-we are around 4 dozens. There are three or four people that were left behind because one of them was injuried and it was slowing us down. I don't know where they are right now..."

>3. What are the major locations of bandit camps?

???: "T-there is the lord's tent. right in the north of the camp. He prefers to stay alone and away from us. Only his two bodyguards can stay with him."

>4. Why are they raiding?

???: "He hasn't told us. W-we got our money and that's enough for us."

>5. What are their current assets?

???: "W-we didn't manage to loot much from the p-previous villages. He told us to saddle up and move to the next target."

>6. What are the credentials of the bandits (farmers, ex-guards, deposed nobles)?

???: "Most of us are mercenaries. We are hired by smaller nobles for good coin. Uther and a couple others *urgh* come from another place and they joined him on their own..."

>7. What are the general fighting styles and abilities of the bandits?

???: "W-we are all experienced fighters. I-i fought in two wars before being hired. I saw my share of battles too..."

>8. How much supernatural ^&*( is going on?

???: "Uh... N-n-none? What do you mean?"

>9. How many Nords besides Uther did the boss hire?

???: "His bodyguards come from the same place i think. they speak weirdly."

Uther: "Zey come from a lesser family. Not as gud as me."

???: "Yeah, sur*OUCH*"

???: "It's j-just me. I lost at dice and i was forced to get the wood for tonight..."

>10. Would he like his arms or his legs broken.

???: "uh? N-no please i..."

I motion to Uther to shut his mouth and then i break his finger.

I then ask again my questions. And then i break another finger.

He gets up to the pinkie until i'm sure he's not lying.

It seems he was saying the truth all along. Aside for having omitted that they have few horses with them and carts with food.

I don't think i'm getting anything else from this guy, voices.

Tell him to lie facedown very still, without moving a muscle, until the sun is long gone.
This way, he doesn't have to watch the axe coming down.

>>698969
Break his arms and leave him there.

>>698967
40 men, 2 guards, and a noble. We have a lot of killing to do. They all partook in sacking of the town, of the rape, and more.

Make it quick old lady. We have work to do.

Kill him as painlessly as you can manage, since he cooperated.

>>698967
time to poison the food.
