Winter passes by. The lords and nobles of Chang An eat well and sleep comfortable by their fires, while the peasants suffer and die. Dong Zhuo makes no effort to lower his high taxes and abuse of the people. Most of the lords across the land stop their fighting for a while and build up their strength. You spend most of your days drilling the troops (+2 Lea) and visiting Lu Bu occasionally. You are given your salary (+60 gold)

Spring time comes, and soon enough the other lords will begin their marches again. You hear rumors that Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu's relationship has taken even an even worse dive; apparently a handmaiden has come between them. The handmaiden is said to be Wang Yun's daughter.

What do you do now?

>Patrol the streets and keep order
>Abuse a bit of your power and take from the populace
>Help the populace out and get some support from the people who already dislike your force
>Let's go buy some equipment
>Train a stat (Choose)
>Visit someone of importance and improve relations (Choose)

>>32767140
>>Visit someone of importance and improve relations (Lu Bu)

We should talk about our recent battle with Lu Bu sempai and see if he has any advice on how we might better ourselves in the future.

and meet his daughter

>>32767140
>>Visit someone of importance and improve relations (Lu Bu)

Lu Bu sempai

FUCK YEAH, I'VE BEEN WAITING ALL WEEK.

Can we take our Lacquer Kettle to go see Lu Bu?

>>32767140
Patrol the streets.

>>32767171

> Recent.

We've gone through winter and are now entering spring.

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

>>32767171

It's probably time for us to delve into intrigue.

If Lu Bu's relationship with Dong Zhuo is an all time low, now might be a good time to discretely pledge our loyalty to Lu Bu.

>>32767140
>>Visit someone of importance and improve relations (Lu Bu)

We should try and buy some more gear before we leave Chang'An, after speaking with Lu Bu of course..

>>32767117
Fuck yeah Three Kingdoms Quest!

>>32767310
Plus we command the City Guards so we would be a valuable co-conspirator anyway

As awesome as Lu Bu is, we really need to expand our social circle.

>>32767390
We made friends with that one guy we fought with against the bandits.

I'm hoping we meet Zhuge Liang through Lu Bu sempai

>>32767364

We have 140 gold so we can probably buy one of Family Banner or Widow Bow.

Gliding Spear would also be useful (+2 War) or Whispering Blade as a compromise between the Bow and the Spear.

>>32767390

We are bros with Fan Chou now. It would be helpful to meet other generals too, but we should keep an eye on our meal ticket.

>>32767140
>Let's go buy some equipment
>Patrol the streets and keep order
Lets use some off that goodwill we earned working the fields to keep the peace

>>32767431
Why not just loot the shop when we overthrow Dong?

>>32767431

If we're going to get the Family Banner at all, we need to get it ASAP to reap the benefits.

>Visit someone of importance and improve relations (Lu Bu)

With the rumors spiraling out and sending vibes of worry through the state, you decide to pay Lu Bu a visit. You visit his house, but the servant tells you that he is not present at his home. He tells you that instead he is at the local tavern. You thank the servant and visit the place.

It's a small place without much patrons and made of wood. Off in the corner by a small fire is Lu Bu, still in his battle garments. There are some empty jars of wine in the table and you can see he is drinking away. It seems most of other guests here are staying away, afraid that they might anger Lu Bu.

You walk up to Lu Bu and give a bow. He glances at you, his face hazy and obviously drunk.

"What do you want, Zhu Xing?" he asks, pouring himself another cup.

>Ask him if you can sit and have a drink as well
>Ask him what's wrong
>Tell him you came for another sparring match

>>32767670
>>Ask him if you can sit and have a drink as well

>>32767670
>>Ask him if you can sit and have a drink as well
we can ask him what's wrong after

>>32767670
>>Ask him if you can sit and have a drink as well

>>32767670
>Ask him if you can sit and have a drink as well
Maybe he won't kill you if you act normally

>>32767670
>Ask him if you can sit and have a drink as well
"Under our current leader, it seems the best thing to do is have a drink with friends."

I'd like to ask for the attention of my fellow anons.

I suggest that we should start going to visit wang yun in order to prevent the collapse of the faction when the 4 generals are refused amnesty.

I know that this is meta-gaming but hear me out, if we want try making this faction into a one that might be able to stand on its own two feet, we need to intervene somewhere which caused a historical collapse. With the correct influencing of wang yun, we create a faction a has Wang Yun as a Prime Minister, Lu Bu as its head warlord and a core of liang troops and supporters who will not rebel as long as they are not trampled upon. This sets the foundation for a strong side and deprives Cao Cao of his captive Emperor to lend legitimacy to his side. Liu Bei will likely remain contented in his county holdings, not being usurped by his guest, Lu Bu; he might even answer the call if the Emperor put out a call for loyal subordinates to join him.

We make this one change, we change the landscape on the entire Wei Qi board. From that point on, we can't metagame and we enter full alt history mode.

>>32767932
>I know that this is meta-gaming
cmon, man.

>>32767932
Sure, that sounds like a plan. I'd just like there to be some reason for our character to go talk with Wang Yun aside from metagaming.

>>32767670
>Ask him if you can sit and have a drink as well

>>32767985
He's probably well known enough that we would have heard of him.

>>32767932

Only if Lu Bu gives us a reason to visit Wang Yun.

I'd hate to metagame in a game like this.

But we do have good relationships with Fan Chou so we might be able to help him out as well.

>>32767932

I'd rather just join Lu Bu's wild ride and fight our way across China.

Seriously though, we don't know a single piece of info about the Zhou's court aside from Lu Bu not being happy. This is a retarded amount of meta-gaming, maybe if we had been introduced to Wang Yun already, but i don't think the GM will (or should) allow that.

>Ask him if you can sit and have a drink as well
You smile and politely ask him if you can sit and have a drink with him as well. He snorts with a wave of his hand.

"Go right ahead."

As you sit, he places a cup in front of your seat with a hard thud. He pours a drink in the cup, but it is sloppy and splashes of white whine spill. He doesn't seem to care as he pours himself next and takes a deep drink.

"What a damned sorry state of affairs I've come to. Bah," he mutters.

>Ask him what's wrong
>Throw praises at him in an attempt to cheer him up
>State that things are fine, and continued loyalty to Dong Zhuo will do good

>>32767985

Well we've heard of the rumblings of him plotting and that his daughter is in the middle of Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu. Thats enough reason to go and seek him out, to see what he intends. Zhu Xing has relatively high Int, he'd know something is up.

Why don't we try and legitimize Lu Bu's betrayal then?
Bring Dong to someone else?

>>32768048
>>32768046
>>32768044
We know what's wrong.

Don't think its a problem with lu bu's betrayal of dong zhou. With how hated he is, no one will care. Its more the actions taken in the aftermath of it.

Big question.

What do we buy?

Bow: 100
House Banner: 100
Iron Armour: 70

>>32768328
Armor. We keep stacking up minor wounds.

>>32768347
Yeah, this.

>Ask him what's wrong
>"It's Dong Zhuo, isn't it?"
You take a drink from your cup calmly.

"General Lu Bu is one of the highest ranked men in the state. He is usually boasting with confidence, and full of vigor. When I see him in a tavern, drinking by himself, it troubles me and makes me think there is something wrong."

You place your cup down, and look at Lu Bu in the eyes.

"It's Dong Zhuo, isn't it."

A small silence brews, as Lu Bu stares back at you. After a few seconds, he frowns and look away.

"You've been a damned nosy one, haven't you?" he mutters. "I have served the Prime Minister loyally and made many grand deeds. If not for me, would not the coalition lords have taken the Son of Heaven in to custody and destroyed this force?"

Lu Bu, as arrogant as he is, is beginning to say some treacherous words...

"Tell me Zhu Xing, have you been in love?" he asks taking another deep drink from his cup.

>Tell him briefly about your past relations and make a joke
>Tell him that you've been looking in to marriage and expanding your own clan
>Get to the heart of the matter and talk about the handmaiden you've heard about

>>32768328

If we have to buy something at this early stage, Banner.

I'd rather wait until we can buy two items at once. Going to shop takes an event now.

>>32768042
>zhu xing has relatively high int
Yeah
I'm not entirely sure about that

>>32768328

I wish we knew how long we're going to stay in Chang'An for. I'd like to earn some money / stats by helping the locals then buy some gear before Spring comes, which is going to be huge.

Best bet would probably be armor. But i'd like to have a Banner by the time we start engaging with other armies since we are an Officer now.

Pol: 43
Cha: 45

Those stats are pretty crappy.

>>32768388
>>Tell him that you've been looking in to marriage and expanding your own clan

>>32768388
>Tell him briefly about your past relations and make a joke

Reel him in.

The second choice is too business-like, he wants someone to commiserate with not a stiff who wants to talk his clan.

The third choice is risky.

>>32768388
>>Tell him that you've been looking in to marriage and expanding your own clan

Ooh baby.

>>32768388
>>Tell him briefly about your past relations and make a joke
The anon makes a good point that he's looking for someone to share his troubles with

>>32768388
>>Tell him that you've been looking in to marriage and expanding your own clan
"Ya I have, But I'm to shy to tell her how i feel."

>>32768388
>Tell him briefly about your past relations and make a joke

>>32768421
>>32768432
He's not going to throw his daughter at us right now. We should wait for a better time.

>>32768388
>>Tell him that you've been looking in to marriage and expanding your own clan

>>32768388
"No I have not Lu Bu, at least not the love that seems to have claimed you."

>>32768388
>Tell him briefly about your past relations and make a joke

>>32768388
I'm convinced, changing >>32768421
to >>32768463

>>32768475
I really feel that the second option is a poor choice guys. Lets not make this about us

>>32768463
>>32768484
>>32768475
Read the atmosphere, we're in a serious situation, and don't want to belittle Lu Bu's love.

>>32768507

The second choice is even worse.

I am ambivalent the joke option at the end, but you don't talk about business and formalities with a drunk man looking to talk about his love troubles.

>>32768507
A little self depreciating humor about our past loves seems to fit the situation better than a business discussion.

>>32768507

I agree. I don't think the 'make a joke' portion of the first option is a good idea.

But i like the past relationships part.

>>32768077
This

Also, my captcha is 666, may not live through this thread so good luck to the rest of you.

>>32768544
This.
Lets talk about our past relationships and not make the joke.

>>32768557

I hate to break this to you, but you seem to be stuck in some sort of a time warp.

>>32768571
>>32768557

At the very least make the joke self-depreciative.

>>32768593

Something of how we got played for a fool due to our past love?

That I can support.

>>32768593
That sounds acceptable to me. Lu Bu most likely would NOT appreciate a joke at his expense but one at our own would likely be fine

>>32768593

Let's go with this

>>32768593
I am in favor of this.

>>32768021
>>32767932

From the 2nd thread.
>>A month passes. There are small rumors going around that Wang Yun is scheming, although most people dismiss it. You get a small salary. +30 gold.

I think that's more than enough of a reason for us to go visit Wang Yun.

>>32768661

Depending on how this meeting with Lu Bu goes, Wang Yun is probably going to be on our 'to do' list.

>>32768661
Works for me.

>>32768661

If we visit Wang Yun, we'll have to tread very carefully. Being seen with a schemer could put us in danger as well.

>>32768388

> Get to the heart of the matter and talk about the handmaiden you've heard about

Best way to get someones panties, trust me, thats how I got a wife

>>32768724

But do we want to get into Lu Bu's panties?

>Tell him briefly about your past relations and make a joke
"Love?" you reply, stroking your chin and looking upward at the ceiling. "When I was a growing boy, there were quite a few girls at Chang An. Lovely flowers they were. I took a few of them to my bedside and had some relations here and there. Plucked their petals; some of them their first. You'd be surprised at how many women are willing to marry you when you're a noble. But love... Bah, I'll not let a woman tie me down like that. I got things to kill and armies to command."

Lu Bu chuckles slightly, and nods.

"Love makes us all weak, it seems. You've probably heard about the girl that I've been seeing. Diao Chan. The most beautiful woman I have laid my eyes on, and she's treated me with kindness. When Wang Yun invited me to his household, I could not help but be captivated by her. Wang Yun even offered me her hand in marriage. But that damned Dong Zhuo!"

He slams his hand.

"He takes her away from me, makes her his own. He had a hundred other women in his harem, but he has to take Diao Chan! And after the years of service I have given him, he even had the nerve to throw weapons at me!"

You tap Lu Bu on his arms, reminding him to keep it down.

"What shall I do, Zhu Xing? I am backed in a corner."

You feel a sense of danger prickle past your mind. Lu Bu is asking for advice, and you might influence something big...

>Say you cannot afford any advice and stay silent
>Tell Lu Bu a woman is a woman. He will find another, and he should serve Dong Zhuo faithfully so they can conquer the land

But tell him we'll need to make preparations for this. Just killing the man will not solve all the problems.

>>32768763

Kill the fatty, Save the people, Get the girl.

Now, Wang Yun is on our to do immediately list.

>>32768763
>Tell Lu Bu, that perhaps, a certain man needs to be killed and another man needs to take charge

It's for the best. This guy is an all around prick.

>>32768796
This.
Makes us seem less treasonous and won't bring Lu Bu into a killing frenzy.

>>32768763
>>32768796
>A decision like this must not be made under the influence of alcohol, especially one so important.

I'm a little skittish about telling him to murder Dong Zhuo in the middle of a tavern. We might be overheard

>>32768763
>Tell Lu Bu, that perhaps, a certain man needs to be killed and another man needs to take charge

Might as well follow history.

>>32768763
>>Tell Lu Bu, that perhaps, a certain man needs to be killed and another man needs to take charge

Seems we need to organize a meeting with Wang Yun as Commandant of the Guards.

>>32768819

>>32768763

The wheel of history must turn

>>32768796
This.

Yeah, something along the lines of "even if you do remove the problem in front of you, you need to be ready for what happens after, or you are trading one bad situation for another"

>>32768763

>>32768796
This with >>32768819
>Whatever action you choose, you'll have our support.

>>32768796
>>32768819

Let's combine the two and add some line about how everyone in the army knows Lu Bu to be a valiant hero and how they trust his leadership.

Just to give him some reassurance and confidence booster as well.

>>32768819
I support this
Lu Bu is our bro above all else, not our pawn to use in vapid schemes and power plays

>>32768903
>>32768854
>>32768819
>>32768796
These together.

>>32768388
We're gonna need to be blunt and honest with Lu Bu. A man pining for a love that he can't have is definitely something that cannot be joked about.

I vote for option 3:
>Get to the heart of the matter and talk about the handmaiden you've heard about

Alright lads. What's the game plan from here.

Do we just approach Wang Yun and offer our services or what?

Remember, we got shit all Charisma and Politics so that could be a bad move.

Are you the 666 guy again? I think something is very wrong with your 4chan.

>>32768965

No, we should be indirect.

Say you are a friend of Lu Bu and say that the topic of his daughter's marriage has come up.

We'll see where things go from there.

>>32768914
But first, pay the innkeeper, take Lu Bu back to his quarters and quietly plot from there. An inn is no place to plot someone's death.

>>32768965

Good decisions override luck

We could approach him and appeal to his honor sense (high WAR and LEA)

>>32768965

We visit him.

And 'discuss matters of the state.

>>32768965

Our position as Commander of the City Guard will probably make us very valuable to whatever hes plotting.

>>32768965
Be patient man. I'm not making any decision on what to do next until our current business with Lu Bu is settled

>>32768965
>>32769037

Yes, let's use this.

We could say that there's someone spreading malicious rumors about him and that it's your duty as Commander of City Guard to investigate the matter.

>>32768990
Visit Wang Yun during the day, respectfully request a private meeting at his convenience, and at the private meeting, mention that we are Lu Bu's friend and would like to see how we can help.

>>32768819
>>32768796
Both of these together.

>>32769037
Yeah, but what the hell have we been doing as City Commandant? Last thread we were out helping the peasant farmers and killing some Qiang bandits with Fan Chou.

I doubt we have enough influence within the city to actually sway whatever opinion the city folks have about our PC.

>>32769096

Don't we command the City Guards?

We could probably order the city guards to lock down the city to help the conspirators out.

>>32769096
From the character sheet, the people of chang an appreciate us. So we have some influence there.

Rolled 15

>>32769096

Them city folks like us.

Us on the side of the rebels eill add popular support to their faction

>>32769096
Thing is, we have to use discontent against Dong Zhuo against him.
Make this not "Lu Bu killing Dong Zhuo" but "Chang An killing Dong Zhuo"

>>32769145
Actually, yeah. There is enough popular discontent that we could totally convert this from Lu Bu killing a dude that stole his bitch, to a rebellion with Lu Bu as one of the main combatants.

This guy has a point, i think we should try and bolster some support from the people of Chang'An if an overthrowing is going to occur.

Worst case scenario, we have the people backing us up, if Wang Yun tries to scheme us or Lu Bu out of the picture, we have a revolt ready populace who respect us over some fat cat lackey to Zhou.

It's just the way Chinese culture is. People would get names like "General of the Flying Tiger Army" or "General who Exterminates Brigands"

>>32769210

From my understanding, they're honorifics derived from basic military positions.

So, "Guardian of West Gate Infantry" is like, one of 4 infantry commanders, one for each gate or some such. It's just an over-technical way of explaining who and what they command.

But i mean, Commander of the City Guard, is Commander of the City Guard.

Seriously though, if we want something like that then may e we should continue helping the peasants that already like us out in the fields. Get a popular revolt of farmers going

>Tell Lu Bu, that perhaps, a certain man needs to be killed and another man needs to take charge
You think to yourself for a moment. You have served Dong Zhuo faithfully as well, but recently the man has not rewerded you for defeating the Qiang. He is also a brazen tyrant and making things more difficult by abusing the people. He's raped many women, killed many loyal men of the Han, and even had the audacity to loot the tombs of the great Emperors of the past.

"Perhaps... It is time for Dong Zhuo to die, and for you to take charge, General," you whisper quietly.

Lu Bu looks at you in surprise. He was not expecting such words to come out of you. He was expecting some reassurances from a friend... But words of rebellion?

"What are you saying, Zhu Xing?" he hisses quietly, looking around and making sure no one is listening. "Have you gone mad?"

"General, your valiant efforts and deeds have made Dong Zhuo what he is today. He gets to fatten himself up, only because you are there to protect him and root out trouble. And yet, he takes Diao Chan from you, and even makes attempt at your life. He is beginning to lose the support of the people. No... He has never had support from them in the first place. He has only controlled the court so far with fear. General, should you kill the man, offer your loyalties to the Emperor, and raise your forces... Surely you can win the land."

A silence hangs in the air as you mutter these words. Lu Bu leans back, obviously uncomfortable. He looks down at his feet, places a hand on his chin. He seems lost in thought. After minutes pass by, he finally speaks.

"...Yes. I am a hero, am I not? I should bring the treacherous Dong Zhuo down... Save the Han... And fight for my woman. But who will support me in this matter?" he says with a frown.

>>32769179
Thanks for the support, anon.

The rest of you lot have to remember that this is 190 AD. Back then, people didn't unify that rapidly. Loyalties for the most part stuck to family, clan, village, province, region, then the central government.

People back then would much rather support someone who is a local, home-grown hero than some random schmuck from all the way from the northlands or the east coast. If anything, we need to go about looking for local patriarchs and matriarchs and gather the support of the local people as well as convince watch commanders and sergeants to be loyal to us (or eventually our Clan once we get that blasted Clan banner) instead of the corrupt central government headed by Prime Minister Dong Zhuo.

>>32769297

Man, can you imagine Lu Bu as Emprah?

Its like Sigmar all over again

>>32769302

PUMP THE BREAKS.

We need to take this slow, Lu Bu is going a mile a minute, we need Wang Yuns side of the coin.

"General, if you are willing to commit to the cause, I, Zhu Xing of Xu Chang will be willing to follow you to the ends of the earth. I am Commandant of the Guards and I control the men of this city. The men trust me, as does the populace of Chang An. Allow me to make friends and garner support for you. We will soon have an army at your backs, and we will take Dong Zhuo's head.”

A smile, bright as a sun appears on Lu Bu's face.

“Zhu Xing, you are truly a good friend!” he says, clasping his hands on yours. “Yes, I will be willing to kill Dong Zhuo. We should need a few months to prepare, and then we can slay the beast.”

You nod and smile.

“Yes, General. The Prime Minister is surely the most benevolent lord and a true servant of the Han. I hope we will march together soon, so that we may continue to expand his domain and put the other treacherous lords to heel,” you say out loud in the tavern.

You and Lu Bu spend the rest of the day pretending your continued loyalty and drinking merrily as if no words of treachery were ever spoken in the tavern.

(Cha +5)

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

A week passes. You spend time obtaining the loyalty of the soldiers under your command, but making sure yet not to speak any words of rebellion. You learn of the other officers at Chang An, and many of them do not support Dong Zhuo. You think that this will be an easy plan.

One night, you are sleeping comfortably in your bed. You are however wakened by your servant. He informs you that a man has come to visit you, and no matter what, he insists on seeing you. It is midnight, and you grit your teeth. Who in the world would come here at this time?

>Tell the servant to kick the man out. Make the guards kill him if he does not.

But first, /facepalm. Why the hell did we plot inside of the inn?! The central government has spies everywhere!

>>32769338
>>Go out and meet this visitor.
>Conceal a dagger to defend yourself if necessary

>>32769351

>>32769338
>>Go out and meet this visitor.

>>32769338
>>Go out and meet this visitor.

>>32769338

"Bring my sword srvant, make haste"

>>32769381
This, we are no fool.

>>32769402
We'd keep our actual weapon close to hand.

>>32769381
Fuck the dagger. Use the kettle we got from those farmers to bash their head in if they're here to kill us.

>>32769411

But how can we give the kettle to Lu Bu sempai if it's smeared with the brain matter of our assailants?

Just curious, how does Zhu Xing looked like?

>>32769435
>implying he wouldn't like it more that way

why are we giving him the kettle, anyway?

Rolled 7 + 2

>>32769381
This sounds good. We wouldn't want to offend a friendly with our lack of trust. Even though it would make perfect sense beings they arrived without announcing themselves.

It's probably Lu Bu after he killed Dong Zhuo.

>>32769381
Defiantly this, we will meet him, but be prepared to fight back against potential assassins. I am thinking that this is someone who doesn't like Dong Zhou very much and is coming in the dead on night for secrecy, doubt he would tell anyone but us in person his name.

>>32769381

Lets aproach amicably with a kettle in our Open Palm and a concealed dagger in our Closed Fist

>>32769476

> “Yes, I will be willing to kill Dong Zhuo. We should need a few months to prepare, and then we can slay the beast.”

Hopefully not.

>>32769476

But Lu Bu himself said it will take months to prepare for the act.

He wouldn't kill Dong Zhuo without his main co-conspirator knowing about it

>>32769381
>>32769399
>>32769408
>>32769451
I disagree. Laws of hospitality frown on bearing arms while greeting guests, especially in or around one's own home. This also makes a terrible impression on the visitor.

Just greet normally and invite inside.

>>32769516

But the whole point of concealed dagger is that the other guy won't know about it

>>32769516
Laws of hospitality go out of the window at midnight

>>32769446

19 years old with a pretty big War stat, so probably ripped / buff as fuck.

I feel the servant might have been a bit more agitated if that was the case.

>Go out and meet this visitor.
You dress yourself, and go out to meet your visitor. You are not really worrited about any assailants. Who in the right mind would try to assassinate you in such a direct approach, especially in your household that has guards around it?

You go out to your front gates, your servant following with torch in hand. You see a visage of a man, slightly leaning at the front gates. When you come close, and the light reveals his face, you find that it is Wang Yun.

"Greetings, Commandant. Might we have a few words?"

You inwardly smile. You already know what this might be about.

"Yes, please, do come in."

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Wang Yun is dressed in commoner's clothing. It seems he has taken caution to make sure no one knows he is here at your household. You make sure to take the same caution, and order only dim lights to be lit at the guest room. You order your servant to make sure word of this never gets out, and he simply responds that he saw nothing this night before pouring a cup of tea for you and Wang Yun.

What do you say to your visitor?
>Play the game of politics. Ask him why he's here
>Get straight to the point. Tell Wang Yun to help you kill Dong Zhuo

Only makes sense to play the board to see what he has to say first.

Don't reveal too much right off the bat, play it cool

>>32769646

We're going to lose the politics game, but we might appeal to his feelings as a father.

We can't play the game of politics since our POL stat is literally our lowest.

We should either go straight into things or smalltalk him, use our Kettle / Musk buffs to sweet talk him.

>>Play the game of politics. Ask him why he's here

We mustnt forget to ask of the liang troops and generals. Especially due to our friend.

>>32769646
>>Play the game of politics. Ask him why he's here

AND the Kettlee

>>32769701
What could possibly go wrong?

>>32769701
GM didn't ask for a POL roll, so I think it's just a bit of a tete-a-tete with a little back and forth. You really don't start a conversation with a prospective partner in crime by diving right into the heart of the matter anyways.

>>32769646
>Speak about Diao Chan, his daughter, and how it has created a rift between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu
I support this mostly because we can't into politics. Let us be direct

>Speak about Diao Chan, his daughter, and how it has created a rift between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu

>>32769646

>Get straight to the point. Tell Wang Yun to help you kill Dong Zhuo

I see no way in which this could go wrong.

>>32769646
Speak about diao chan and use the fricking kettle while we're at it!

>>32769762

Hmmm make sense, Im just cautious

>>32769768
Jesus fuck, the kettle is a passive stat boost. We don't need to smash him over the head with it to 'use' it.

>>32769754

I'm assuming hes doing background / passive rolls with our stats on certain things.

Aren't we already using the kettle? Our servant poured us tea

>>32769791
Now that's a little paranoid. xD

>>32769784

Its more amusing is it not?

>>32769811
>xD
Get out.

>>32769803

USE IT AGAIN!

I think it could be an interesting talking point though. Tell him how the people of Chang'An hate Dong Zhou and how an elderly family matriarch gave it to you as thanks for your assistance.

Make a point that the commoners know you and will support you.

>>32769646
>Play the game of politics. Ask him why he's here

>>32769754

This, we are not in an antagonistic relationship with the dude. We both understand why he's here and he needs our help.

We have all the power here, we can afford to play coy and gain concessions.

>>32769715

We don't need to appeal to anything. He's here to get our help, not the other way around

>>32769778
I'm worried that being cautious in our dealings with this Wang Yun could allow him to outsmart/out-talk us, which is why I support being forward

>Trying to out-politic politics guy.

This will end in disaster.

>>32769841

The only way we havent use it is to bash his head in, anon

>>32769874
That's exactly what I'm worried about

>>32769874
You stupid asshole.
We're both working towards the same goal here, why do you think he came as a commoner?

>>32769874

Come on, anon. I think you are freaking out because the prompt starts with "Play Game of Politics"

But this

>Wang Yun is dressed in commoner's clothing. It seems he has taken caution to make sure no one knows he is here at your household

>You inwardly smile. You already know what this might be about.

indicates that we aren't in an antagonistic relationship which would lead him to "outsmart us".

We have the fucking city guards, he's not going to screw us over. It's just an opening comment.

>>32769894
And we're now going to give him concessions for his support that will probably enrage lu bu and cause the entire thing to come crashing down as soon as fatty is dead.

>>32769874

I assume you never played ROTK XI? 20 points diff is still manageable in debate duels (assuming items already boost our stat)

>>32769646
>Play the game of politics. Ask him why he's here
Really, we are not trying to out-politic the politics guy. We are showing we know how to play the game before we backstab one of the most powerful warlords in this time period.

>>32769930
THIS. Social niceties were important back in the day!

>>32769916

That's dumb.

1. We don't have the power to grant concessions that will enrage Lu Bu. We are still a subordinate of Lu Bu in many in this conspiracy.

2. He's too invested in the conspiracy to risk us getting pissed for some concessions.

3. He's in a compromising position in our home, he's put his fate in our hands. He has already conceded some power to us.

Fuck i hope this goes for more than one thread.

Shit's getting real.

>>32769987
For some reason /tg/ gets fucking INTENSE when it comes to the Romance. I remember the last time we had a Three Kingdoms quest, the scheming got fucking ridiculous.

>Play the game of politics. Ask him why he's here
You gesture politely towards his cup of tea, and Wang Yun nods in thanks. He takes a sip from his cup and remarks that it is a good brew.

"Thank you for your visit, Minister Wang Yun. Tell me though, it is quite late; to what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?"
"I cam simply to see how the Commandant is doing and if he is faring well."
"Oh? This late at night? And in such clothing as well, I may have mistaken you for someone else, Sir."
"Pray forgive me. I am an old man, and grow senile every day."
"No matter, no matter. I am honored to take a visit from an esteemed minister. I have been doing quite fine these days."
"I have heard. You also seem to be doing well, winning the support of the people, and the guards as well. I hear that recently you've been looking in the court yourself."
"You seem to know quite well. Have you been keeping tabs on me, Sir?"
"When a general begins to look in to the civil world, some begin to wonder. It is custom after all for warriors and generals to stay out of politics and keep to their duties."
"Of course. I simply was making sure as Commandant of the Guards that everything is accounted for and the peace is kept. The Prime Minister is a good man, but it sometimes falls upon me to clean up... certain messes he makes. Like rumors that he is mistreating General Lu Bu."

Both of you exchange various words, probing at each other and equivocating. (Pol +3) Wang Yun is old, but he seems to have a good head and a way with words. After a good lengthy discussion, Wang Yun gets up and bows.

>>32769987
It's what happens when murder, death, and intrigue are on the line.

>>32770009

We did? when?

>>32769987
Me too, I fucking love this quest

"Zhu Xing. The Han is in peril, and it is up to us loyal servants to save it. I have heard that you are a good man. You help the people of Chang An personally, and they speak amiably about you. You are friends with the valiant Lu Bu, and command the guards here. Help me restore peace, and kill Dong Zhuo in the name of the Emperor."

>Declare your loyalty to the Han, and intent to kill Dong Zhuo
>Coax Wang Yun in to giving you rewards for your service

>>32770034
>>Declare your loyalty to the Han, and intent to kill Dong Zhuo

This is quite frankly more than I was hoping for.

>>32770034
"Who else is on your side Wang Yun?"
Lets play the game and pretend we are a loyalist for a moment, lets see if he's being truthful here.

>>32770034

Some money would be nice, but i think we should stay on his good side to keep everything copacetic when Lu Bu goes on the warpath.

>>32770034

>Declare your loyalty to the Han, and intent to kill Dong Zhuo

However, mention that you could use some funds up front to make the scheme a success.

Funds for bribes, equipment, and such. It should be clear that this isn't an extortion, but an investment.

I don't know what this quest is and I haven't been reading the thread, but I shiggy

>Offer to write a blood pledge to the conspiracy as a show of loyalty to the cause.

>>32770068

This. Hes a lord plotting one of the biggest political overthrows in history. He has dosh, and we need it, some bribe money / equipment would really be nice.

>>32770068
This seems like a good idea.

Has the Seven Star Dagger already been given to Dong Zhuo? It's 190, right?

Because if not we've gotta try and get our hands on that.

>>32770034

>Declare your loyalty to the Han, and intent to kill Dong Zhuo

Faggot.

>>32770063
>>32770068

Supporting both of these. Stress that you'll be making your own move to persuade certain friends to join the loyalists.

You want to know who you should target and who to stay away from.

>>32770063
this. Then we can declare our allegiance to the han

>>32770112
Don't forget his daughter.

>>32770068
>>32770063

... Wang Yun was the Minister of the Masses. He does have rather deep pockets and could easily finance a whole rebellion by himself.

>>32770173
It was something we received as a gift from working the fields for the peasant farmer in the 2nd thread.

>>32770092
>>32770109
Both of these, but let's stick to being a bit more low-key. There may be a spy within the household...

Hey guys. Perhaps we should mention Fan Chou as a possible ally? Wang Yun might be able to extol some effort toward convincing him to join us since he is our friend as well

>>32770173

We got the Lacquer Kettle as an item from grateful peasants when we farmed the shit out of their fields.

It's an item that gives bonus to relationships when an officer visits our house. We can also give it away as a gift.

>>32770216
We dunno if Fan Chou is loyal to Dong Zhuo or not. He's been a made general long before we joined up and we have no idea how long that's been.

If we want to bring Fan Chou on, we'd have to pay a personal visit ourselves to his residence.

>>32770216

This would be interesting as well. Fan Chou is pretty big time isn't he?

But perhaps we should approach him since we are bros

>>32770216
I think he's next on our list of 'meet with' people. He's also, regrettably, the last person on that list. Hopefully Wang Yun has some more contacts.

He was one of the 4 generals who fight against Lu Bu after the shit hits the fan. If we can't avoid that fight, it would at least be a good idea to turn 4 generals into 3.

Especially since 2/3 want to kill the emperor and Fan Chou was the only one stopping them from doing so.

I laughed when the QM asked for minimal meta at the beginning of this quest. It's soon became worse than I thought..

>>32770334
After we make this rebellion work differently from history, we're in full alternative mode. Meta won't be an issue.

>>32770334
QM can always slap us for meta gaming with unforeseen consequences.

>>32770334
I know what you mean, but in all honesty Fan Chou is practically the only other officer who has been explicitly stated to be a friend of ours. It would make sense to look to him for support irregardless of any metaknowledge

>>32770334
Considering we're going on this route, meta will become hard to achieve.

>>32770334

Honestly what did you expect to happen. At the very least we aren't making huge leaps to connect dots / make things happen the way we want.

There's no way you can take out the fact most of us know how this is all going to pan out, but so far all of the choices we have made have been logical extensions of our character, who just so happens to be a Lu Bu fanboy.

Seriously though, i'd rather divert into alt history early on than end up in huge fights where we know what's going to happen in terms of ambushes and fight outcomes, now THAT would be meta gaming.

>>32770334

Eh, this is kinda minimal

Or we might be Li Su if we aren't careful.

>>32770334

It's not too bad honestly. All of our decisions are pretty in-character so far.

A mancrush on Lu Bu is understandable considering our character wants to be STRONK and he was the first lord we served under.

A hatred for Dong Zhuo is understandable because he's a dick and got chicken grease on us.

Fan Chou, we befriended through good decisions and good dice roll.

Wang Yun literally came to seek us out, we didn't seek him out.

>>32770385
This. Knowing and Manipulating battles is way worse than what we're doing.

>>32770312
Wait, have we become Zhang Liao to Lu Bu just as how Zhang Liao was to Guan Yu?

My memory of several characters fails me at this point, as I am a little intoxicated and cannot remember certain characters well

>>32770411
Speaking of which, we may have to read up on the 36 Stratagems in-character so we don't do anything that runs against the Art of War by Sun Tzu.

>>32770443

We should buy gear and start training our stats once the initial plans for this betrayal are in place.

>>32770438

I mean, Zhang was a good loyal follower of Lu Bu till Cao Cao got him good

>>32770443
Assuming we find a good transcription. They didn't exactly mass-produce them in those days, and the writers may not take down everything accurately. But a well-made transcription of a war classic... not only is it good study for our skill in war and intelligence, it'd be a great bribe for a strategist.

>>32770443

We could also hire a tutor as well. Surely, there's some good educated men around the imperial capital.

You might want to read Ravages of Time or Romance of Three Kingdoms manga from the 80's

>>32770475

Is us discussing what our character should do next really meta gaming?

I mean, a young, inexperienced but headstrong commander looking to expand his knowledge of battle doesn't seem THAT out of place.

Unless the 36 stratagems directly affects the Three Kingdoms battles.

>>32770475

It's not metagaming to read a famous military book to educate ourselves.

>>32770484

We just scored massive points with Lu Bu, we help him pull this job and we might get the tsun-tsun.

>>32770503
There's also the 2010 Three Kingdoms live action show, which actually starts right around here (a little before, actually, with Cao Cao's failed attempt on Dong Zhuo's life)

That'd be another good way to start.

Yeah the 2010 TV show was really good and should be a good introduction to the full story.

Ravages is really fucking good but it's much better if you know the original story and its characterization.

>Declare your loyalty to the Han, and intent to kill Dong Zhuo
You rise from your chair, and move toward Wang Yun. Grabbing him gently by his elbows, you lift the old man up back to his seat and proceed to bow yourself.

"Do not lower yourself to someone like me, Minister. I am but a servant of the Han; a sword to smite evil and treachery. I have long waited this day for an opportunity to kill Dong Zhuo and rid this land of this pestilence. With your help, and the support of the other civil ministers, I can accomplish this task and restore power back to the Emperor."

Wang Yun is nearly in tears. "Truly? Will you save the Han, Zhu Xing?"

Rising, you walk to the side of the room to take your sword. You take the blade form its sheath, and cut a streak across your hand. Balling your hand to a fist, blood dripping, you pour it to your cup of tea and sip from it.

"I swear by my blood and my ancestors, I will either kill Dong Zhuo or die trying."

The old bursts in to tears. He drops to the floor, and bows deeply to you.

"Bless you Zhu Xing, bless you."

Hours pass. Wang Yun informs you that next week, you will initiate the plan to kill Dong Zhuo. He is visiting his mother, and when returning, armed guards will be waiting at the palace to murder him. You will escort Dong Zhuo to the palace yourself.

You nod to Wang Yun, and make say your farewells.

>>32770536
The day of the plot comes. You informed Lu Bu about Wang Yun, and he is happy that the man is now part of your fold. As told by Wang Yun, Dong Zhuo went outside the city to visit Meiwu and give his honors to his mother. When he returns, you greet Dong Zhuo politely at the gates. With your most trusted guards, you escort Dong Zhuo to the palace. Dong Zhuo mutters some sayings to you.

“Zhu Xing, you have been loyal to me and a good general. I will raise you another rank when we return. Lately, I have not been getting along with my foster son. But today I will make amends with Lu Bu. We will then gather the armies, and march out to destroy Cao Cao. We will reach out dream soon enough, and make a land of paradise for ourselves.”

You nod politely, and thank Dong Zhuo for his generosity. Throughout the way, Dong Zhuo seems rather uncomfortable. He sees ill looking omens around him, and even at one moment, the sun is eclipsed and the day turns black for a few seconds. You assure Dong Zhuo there is nothing wrong, and he takes some comfort in your words.

You reach the palace. Dong Zhuo gets off his carriage, and proceeds to walk toward the palace.

A sudden cry comes out from the sides of the palace, and armed men come charging out. The loyalist guards stationed there are caught by surprise and quickly killed.

“What!?” Dong Zhuo screams. “Protect me! Zhu Xing, escort me back to the palace!”

But you and the guards that were keeping the carriage in check do not protect Dong Zhuo. You and your men instead close the entrance gates of the palace.

“What are you doing!? Zhu Xing!”

“Death to the traitor!”

A shout comes from the palace. Wang Yun comes, Lu Bu beside him.

“Dong Zhuo! In the name of the Emperor, we hereby decree your death!”

Lu Bu lunges at Dong Zhuo with his mighty halberd, and pieces Dong Zhuo through the chest before he can run.

It was all
doomed from the start

Cheers run across the palace. The loyalist guards throw down their arms and are taken prisoners. You, Wang Yun, and Lu Bu make your way to the palace and to the Emperor, and bow in his prescence.

“Dong Zhuo is dead! May your majesty reign in peace!” Wang Yun cries out.

The Emperor, a mere teen, begins to shed tears. He has been victimized by Dong Zhuo for a long time, and is finally free. The other ministers begin to cry as well, bowing their heads lowly. Shouts of “Wan sui, wan sui, wan sui!” ring throughout the palace.

How do you respond?
>Bow down and give your respects as well
>Break down in tears, you are a true Han support as well. Wan sui, wan sui, wan sui
>Stay standing and remain in your place

We resurgent Han empire now. No idea what that would mean for the three kingdoms.

>>32770560

Do as Lu Bu does.

For those that don't know what "Wan Sui" means, it literally translates as "Ten Thousand Years". Basically, it means "Long live the Emprah".

>>32770560

Do whatever Lu Bu does.

The hivemind is frightening sometimes.

>>32770584
>>32770578
We don't want to look as if we're too attached to the Emperor, lets simply bow down like Lu Bu

>>32770560
>Break down in tears, you are a true Han support as well. Wan sui, wan sui, wan sui

Now that Zhou is dead. Are all those other groups in the coalition going to still want to kill us?

I mean, as i understand it, they just sprouted up to fight Zhou.

Do as Lu Bu does.
Whether that be rebellion or simply bowing.

>>32770551
I'm sad we didn't get Fan Chou on our side first.

Guys i want to ask. What is Cao Cao, liu bei and Sun Jian doing?

>>32770560
>>Bow down and give your respects as well

Respectful, but we ain't gonna break down in tears. We got work to do.

>>32770610
Yeah me too a little

>>32770609

>>32770586
This

>>32770610

I'm sure we can get him on our side eventually.

Or atleast i hope we can, aside fro Lu Bu hes like the only person we are friendly with.

>>32770611
Cao Cao is plotting. Liu Bei is off in bumfucksville being useless. Sun Jian is working for a lord he doesn't particularly like.

>>32770560
Give our respects. But we didn't do this for the Emperor.

>>32770551
>“Zhu Xing, you have been loyal to me and a good general. I will raise you another rank when we return. Lately, I have not been getting along with my foster son. But today I will make amends with Lu Bu. We will then gather the armies, and march out to destroy Cao Cao. We will reach out dream soon enough, and make a land of paradise for ourselves.”

I'll admit it, this made me feel a bit sad

Apparently Cao Cao is doing well for himself if he's on Dong Zhuo's shitlist.

>>32770651
Don't be, we know that he doesn't actually do any of that and it all goes to shit even worse than this.

>>32770560
>Bow down and give your respects as well.

>>32770651

His paradis is Hell

That deluded fool

>>32770651

Hes been raping and pillaging the people of Chang'An.

Fairly sure we are a child of Chang'An.

His death could not have come sooner.

> WAN SUI
> WAN SUI

Oh man, Mengde is gonna be PISSED.

His whole game depends on Dong Zhuo being a stubborn bastard long enough for him to create havoc and 'save' the Emperor.

A successful coup this early makes Lu Bu a hero before Cao Cao can insert himself into the narrative.

That wanton ambition is gonna be directed right the fuck at us.

>>32770661
Not him but he could have. We are in alternative plotline now, this could have been a tipping point in history.

>>32770560
>Bow down and give your respects as well

>>32770683

Guan Du wont happen then?

Awsum

>>32770661
How do we know that when this is where his story ends? There is no way we could know whether he was truly repentant or not? Were this real and I were in the same position, this would trouble me greatly.

Perhaps I am being too soft hearted, but I simply cannot say how I feel about this

>>32770676

We are from Xuchang.

You know, the capital city of Cao Wei

Did you say war? I heard you said war? Wan sui to him hahahah
