A Rising Resistance and a Falling Empire

@NyantaStarhunt  
Royal: “… the town will be rebuilt, once emotions no longer run high they will come to their senses and make the call between waving a walking stick at the imperial guard, or striking their plows into the soil”

@NyantaStarhunt @Cerebrate  
“…she bleeds when shot, so I dunno about that. Seems simple to me.” ^%blep. :P%^ “I’ll help long as it means burning her on a stake, and bringing Liqu’s bumpkin-folk back to where they belong–here, not mustered into that saccharine witch’s barmy war plots.”

@Coriolanus  
GArth: “do calm down, edgelord.”

@Cerebrate  
“he is possibly edgier than every dagger in my hoodie pocket” he laughed

@Cerebrate @Praedyth  
“Fiiiine… though I’m guessing the doctor would have to be denounced first in some way to really put an end to her cause, which, really puts things to perspective when one thinks about it. Is there anything yet that could strongly frame the rebels, or, would there have to be, like… ‘embellishments’?”

@Coriolanus  
“she will dig out her own support, in time the rebels themselves will grow sick of her. i can just picture it.”

@Cerebrate  
“it’s something that’s set to collapse in on itself after he deed is done it seems.”

When you realize Matthew just rephrased what he said)

@Cerebrate @Praedyth  
“She’s still got momentum as a demagogue for the while though, and with it she can still wreak alot of havoc. I was thinking maybe I’d try sabotaging her plans every step of the way, at least to dissuade all her new recruits, but I don’t think they’re the kind to be easily discouraged once their minds are set; they are farmers after all, so they’ve got perseverance in spades.”
 
“Hence why I think we’ll need to defame her with some kind of strong evidence, and sooner.”

@Coriolanus
 
@Praedyth
 
@Cerebrate  
the cat laughs to him self and heyas the horse come on lads!

“Welp in a few seconds we’re about to find out if I’m faster than a horse or not” he chuckled @NyantaStarhunt
 
@Cerebrate

@Praedyth  
I would suggest you just stay close to us in case of an emergancy!

@NyantaStarhunt  
“Aight lad, also I keep forgetting your name so if I call ya lad. It means I’ve forgotten it again”

@Praedyth  
He smirks and chuckles

@Praedyth  
Points to him. “Matthew,” Points to himself, as his horse trots out unto the street. “Rameshvara,”  
@NyantaStarhunt  
“Nyanta Starhunt,”  
@Cerebrate  
“Royal, and, ehm… I think I’ve heard your names around town a few times… Garth, and Apep, right?”

@Coriolanus  
Royal:“you have a good memory sir.”

@Coriolanus
 
@Cerebrate  
he smiles and leads the horse convoy out into the main road be on the look out for anymore cyrstals

@Cerebrate  
“I love this town, but there’s a dozen bakeries, a no-frills market, barely any women, acres of croplands all around, and nothing to do but track harmless quarry across the delicately-preserved countryside, all day, every day. So, I keep honing my senses and memory with every happenstance, rumor, and parcel of writing, or else I’ll lose my gods-damned mind.” ^{%ლ(ಠ-ಠლ)%}
 
@NyantaStarhunt  
“Think they’d be that careless though, with.. leaving… breadcrumbs?”
 
Dismounting from his horse, he picks and holds up a small bright-glowing stone half-buried within the dirt road.

@Coriolanus  
he smirks i do yes~ I am a smart little catto. There will always be a mistep

@Coriolanus
 
@NyantaStarhunt  
“these gems are worth more than a commoner makes in a year… even the dumb ones would know to watch them closely. not least because if they absorb sunlight they catch on fire.”

@Cerebrate  
Hm so perhaps it was important to know that our enemy knows far to well how we fight and how we plan to move my friends.
 
Keep an eye open for more of them

@NyantaStarhunt @Cerebrate  
“…Wait, what–shIT-” Tosses the stone into a roadside ditch, smacking an aflame hand against his thigh to put the fire out.

@Coriolanus  
he chuckles and meows funny….But come one i have a bad feeling about this

@NyantaStarhunt  
“Deep burns aren’t funny, man.” ^%<-<%
 
Remounts unto his horse, taking his gauntlet off though to lick at the seared fingertips, then draws his arbalest out while scrutinously watching their surroundings, now rather than the road.

@Coriolanus  
“At least it wasn’t hellfire, coulda been much worse”
