>>47225

Seconding this question right here.

Search room for exits, puzzles, rope and secure places to tie rope to.

>>47222
Dark Moon, eh? Any royal blood?

Who are you?

What do you own?

How affluent are you?

I am Darkmoon Balisong, son of Darkmoon Katar, daughter of Darkmoon Stiletto. The twohundred and thirtyfirst heir to the great Queen Empress.
My duties are few, and my responsibilities even less. I am only here to keep family ties strong through marriage, even as war is at hand.

>>47238
Breeding stock.

Bleh. Must be boring as hell.

>>47238
Well, you have cashmonies, right? Enlist in Darkmoon Katana's milita, get yourself some combat training, become credit to team.

>>47238

Maybe you can try marrying someone from the high-elven nobility. It would be a lovely way to try to bridge the gap between the two races.

...And now that I think of it, I may know the perfect elven lady for the job~

>>47238
I'm sure as a member of the royal family you have experienced some kind of combat training, right?

Fuck marriages and royal ties.

Find your long lost sister and fuck her while she nosebleeds.

>>47238
So what do YOU want to do?

>>47262

Looking from his face, he might want to get some plastic surgery.

I do not have any currency readily available, but my clothes must be worth quite alot to the tradesman down below.

I have had royal combat training and I am skilled with scimitar, longbow and riding sandworms.

Sadly I do not have the luxury of choosing my own bride, let alone being important enough to marry someone from a foreign royal family.
A marriage has been arranged between me and my cousin Darkmoon Spiked Chain.

My hands are tied.

Uh oh.

'Spiked Chain' are words that don't go well with 'Marriage'.

Who/how is your cousin?

>Spiked Chain.
>My hands are tied.

Maybe you can aid the war effort by communicating with another one of the nations. Like, the Dwarves.

>>47267
Look at it like this, friend. You can either sit around like a doofus, or you can get something done.
You might have to break a few rules to do the latter, but you wouldn't have talked to us if you were not willing to do so.
First things first, let's get you armed.

>>47267

I take it you aren't very fond of this "Spiked Chain" girl. Can you tell us a little more about her?

Also, how old are you?

>>47271
:U
>>47267
Sell your fancy clothes, buy plain ones, run away, join the army.

>>47271
No he did so because of damn trolls. I was there.

>>47267
Very well.

Wear a disguise. Something similar to what Darkmoon Katana wears would suffice - a face covering thing and pointy shoulders.

Under a new name, join the militia.

>The twohundred and thirtyfirst heir to the great Queen Empress.
Holy dick! I think they've got the succession thing down pat.

Okay. Check outside your window for conveniently located vines you can climb down.

Indeed, I would not have disrupted your rest if I knew exactly what I was going to do, but breaking the rules is far from my usual domain.
I wish to help the war effort and protect Firewater directly, and not live the life of an isolated royalty!

The only arms in my room is this scimitar, given to me by my uncle to wear during the wedding.
Forgive me, Spiked Chain, but I will have to use it.

I hold no grudge towards Darkmoon Spiked Chain. She is a kind young woman who I believe will be a good bride. I do not know her well.

My age? I recently turned 200 years old and hit puberty.

>>47292
Alright. So you don't want to break the rules... but we will have to bend them a little.

Why not get to know your bride to be better? Take her for a... I don't know, whatever equates to a date. Tell her of your concerns, what you want to do. Maybe not now, of course, but before you take any steps you cannot undo...

I agree. Let's do what we do the best - incest and nosebleed. I bet she will be ours after that.

>>47292
>just hit puberty

Your hormones must be raging. Let's put them to some good use, yes? Through the flames of combat!

>>47258

I believe I may be able to create a disguise using the sheets on my bed.
How do I look?
I feel I may look more like a bandit or a vagrant than a healthy young man looking to join the military.

I see no way to climb out the window safely. Wind and sand have smoothed out the stone considerably.

I believe it is alright for me to meet with Spiked Chain, but with all the uncles and aunts who wish to be present it may take another week before we can sit together.

>I believe it is alright for me to meet with Spiked Chain, but with all the uncles and aunts who wish to be present it may take another week before we can sit together.

Man, it's almost like they don't want you to fall in love.
Let's sweep her off her feet in the midst of the night and run away with her.

Forge a kidnapping note from the skullking. Make it look as though he bumbled and grabbed the wrong guy. That way, when the time comes, your people have an excuse to go to war.

How high up are you? How many hitpoints do you have?

>>47309

You look fine, kiddo.

If you can't get out through the window, maybe we should try taking the stairs instead.

>>47309

Let's flee out the window and take the first train out of here down the great railroad.

>>47309
Well, sneak into her quarters and introduce yourself properly now. You can be chaperoned later.

>>47308
Jesus Christ you are a faggot.

So if I get this straight, the plan is to sneak out of the palace, sell my royal robes for normal currency, and then join the army?
I- Well, I believe that- That is quite realistic.

But-- But meeting Spiked Chain without supervision before the wedding?
That--
That is so improper!

>>47323

But that's exactly what you want to do! Sneak into her lair, have a little fun with her. But watch the walls - too much blood leaves a permanent stain.

>>47323
But so romantic~

>>47323

>But-- But meeting Spiked Chain without supervision before the wedding?
>That--
>That is so improper!

But you want to, don't you. You want to take her away with you as you fly into a world of high adventure and romance, fighting the Skullking at every turn and winning her over not because of arrangement but by your own power.

You know you want that.

So do it.

Then leave her a note instead.

>>47326
That doesn't happen to everyone, only Blutjager. Unless you're suggesting violence?

>>47333
You're the one trolling here for no reason like a common schoolyard bully.

>>47329
That's actually not a bad idea in theory, but in reality it retains the creepiness of sneaking into her quarters, while losing the romantic aspect.

>>47333
Naw, I actually do think you're being a tremendous faggot. Sorry, but if you want everyone to think you're cool, you're doing it wrong. Also, note that we do have rules now.

I suppose it would be romantic to escape with her, but it's also highly irresponsible.
..Well, either way, I should atleast tell her farewell, no matter how unorthodox.

There's just one guard on this level of the tower - None of us are very important, and we're deep inside the palace.
If I can sneak past him the rest of the way should be free.

Just leave her a brief but sincere note.

Toss something shiny in a direction. When he goes to investigate, dash past him.

>>47354

The note should say

"Dear Spiked Chain.

Sorry, I'm not into incest. I'm off to find someone with a more interesting genepool. Bye.

Love
your ex-groom"

I'll throw one of the jewels from my robe at his feet.

>"Hm? Vhat's dis?"

Wow! He must be sleepy or something!
By the time he gets up I'll be around the corner, and then it's a short way to Spiked Chain's room.

>>47360
How about something like this instead...

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that 's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impair'd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!

Love,
Balisong

PS: Gone to kill some dudes. If I don't come back, avenge my death.

>"Who is it?"

..She seems to be studying the Book of the Dark Moon. I don't know if she's very religious or simply following tradition.

"It is I! Your cousin! I thought I would drop in for some hot incest on incest action."

You don't recognize her? Must be an intruder. Draw your blade and demand to know what she did with the chambers rightful inhabitant.

>>47407
It is I, Darkmoon Balisong!

>>47407

Slip your hood down. Introduce yourself. Compliment her beauty.

>>47412

Despite being engaged and living in the same palace, they have probably never actually met before. Royalty is weird that way.


Since you are flouting proper etiquette anyway, perhaps a nom de guerre is in order? Introduce yourself as the dashing rogue Butterfly Knife. You have heard rumors of the legendary beauty of Darkmoon Spiked Chain, and wished to see if they were true.

Spiked chain is about 350 years older than me, but the difference in years will be insignificant once I reach 500 as well.
Our marriage was arranged for all sorts of reasons I have yet to understand; How well our match was held no priority.

I should be able to make my way downstairs without too much trouble.
