The elf nodded in agreement. "Sounds perfectly acceptable. Remember, everyone, they might test us so keep calm no matter what and try to be polite but not overly so." She tried to keep a good outlook about it all. "I almost wish we had to battle gnolls instead."

"I don't know about the rest of you, but I need a little time to get ready. Lets meet back with the villagers once we're each done with the nobles that we're talking to." With that, Tori walked off back toward the villagers. She needed to find her lovers.

[You find them with minimal effort, by the by, what is the precept of Epona's followers? You'll find it under you basic Cleric abilities]

"Alright... Kae, do you need anything to prepare with? Or should we just go deal with this Blackthorn?"

"I'm good. No point in delaying it, is there?" She extended her hand for the warrior for support. "Come, you will play the role of my valet for tonight."

"Protecting a pregnant friend is duty, not a job." She smiles, squeezing the hand and helping her up.

You are escorted to the baron blackwood's tent by the buxom blond centaur commander,
The inside is a dimly lit affair illuminated by a few stray beams of light, stacks of books and the smell of burning incense cover the furnature, the baron greets you greagriously
"Ah yes the emissaries of the new pilgrims! Do please come in and sit down, can I tempt you with a glass of wine?"
He says motioning to a large benchstyle ottoman still warm from its previous occupant as he pours himself a large goblet of wine and set's the decanter down on a table adjacent to you before drinking a large gulp.

(If any of you are curious I've posted a picture of sir blackwood on the roll20 page)

"Good evening, my lord." The elf offered a polite but curt bow before sitting comfortably as he had instructed but shaking her head slightly at his offer for drinks. "I will decline, as you can see I am expecting and it would not be advisable to partake in my condition." She smiled flashing her pearly white teeth. "We truly thank your lordship for the hospitality. Many might have turned away the villagers but my lord did not and for that you have our modest appreciation."

"The tenuki do not have a clear leadership but we are indeed here representing the elder and his people. We would like to hear what it is that your lordship requires of us as such."

"Tan-oo-key,"
Repeated the word slowly letting it roll over his tongue and past his razor sharp teeth,
"Very interestIng indeed, made no less so by yourself my dear madam, I mean a full-blooded elf still running around these parts! I didn't think there were any of us left. Or er any of you, I suppose. You'll excuse my nostalgia getting the better of me.
But you are correct, as any patron will tell you there is a tithe you are required to pay and that represents 10% of your earnings to date. So whatever amounts to one tenth of your estate and a similar percentage on all future income, we tend to prefer silver, but anything from livestock to precious jewels have been given as well.
Now in addition to this tithe most patrons will ask for some other contribution of service to the common good, this can be through military service, furthering the good work of the church, or benefiting the community in some way. I personally like to encurage a spirit of entrepreneurship among my vassals, to always be seeking a better station in life, and to grow financially. More wealth and fortune on your part benefits the both of us after all.
It's worth mentioning that military service is especially lucrative, and in hamlets that I control I require a few military conscripts annualy, after all people rely on all of us Arch Fey to keep them safe, and I have a particularly formidible retinue of warriors."
He said eyeing Alex's muscular form up and down.

"Oh, a little box of surprises I am." She added teasingly. "There really aren't many of us left, for better or worse but kindred is kindred regardless of our appearances." She tried her best to sounds and look pleasant and a little mysterious, it was better to keep the lord guessing instead of offering half truths. She listened to his proposal with interest and as he finished she nodded in agreement. "Of course, a vassal's prosperity is their liege's prosperity. We have a number of artisan's of caliber among the villagers but I do believe your lordship would find them wanting as warriors." She raised her hand, waiting for Alex to help her stand. "They are not helpless, however, as they have us outsiders and their craft to rely upon. We will take my lord's fair terms to them."

She took another courtesy bow. "We thank you for your time and your welcome. Please be well."

[Well, Aphro, Tori isn't a cleric, she's a ranger with the god amidst the wastes advanced move. But if I had to choose, Epona's domains would probably be fertility, and animal husbandry (particularly herd animals), and her precept would likely be important sacrificial rites, in the form of offerings of milk and honey, or some of the excess produce from a particularly bountiful harvest.]

Tori gathered up Dan, Rocky, and Sophie, as well as a few bars of soap, and lead them down to the warm waters of the lake to have a bath and talk about the task at hand. "So, you guys remember the talk we had back when we agreed to go steady? How when it came to sex with other people, we'd make sure it was okay with the others first before we went ahead and did it?" she asked, as she lathered up Dan's hair, trying to get the smell of the road out of it.

[Oh yeah, I forget how your not actually a cleric sometimes]
Alex and Kea
The Duke bows graciously as you begin to take your leave,
"I look forward to hearing from your elder, and remember if any other nobles come courting we don't all need to play on the same team"
He says before lightly patting Alex on the rump on your way out.
Later inspection reveals an extra unsigned contract in your back pocket, this one more thoroughly outlining the military incentives.

Tori
"Yeah I remember"
Dan said,
"What about it?"
Rockey asked as Sophie began to later up his leaner more muscular back.

"That could have gone worse... I'm not sure I like the way he seems interested in military though." She sighed as the both of them walked back to the elder's tent where they would all meet up later. "What's your take on it, Alex?"

"Well... now I'm no smart person, but I get the feeling he might use that "military incentive" against the other lords..."

"Don't worry, you're pretty bright. He better know what he is doing, the other lords wouldn't take a militaristic grab for power lightly." Kae did look pensive. "I wonder if we just took the villagers from one war zone into another."

[If by the elders tent you mean the clearing where you and all the other Tanuki refugees are set up than yeah]

You bump into the buxom blond centaur commander on your way back, she almost doest stop but then thinks better of it before addressing Alex directly
"Hey so I know we kinda hauled you all in here on standing orders and all, but I just wanted to let you know between us warriors their's no hard feelings."
Before extending her hoof for a hand shake like jester
"My name is Guđrun by the way"

"Well, you might have noticed that most of the people here seem to be perpetual horndogs. I have a meeting with one of the local lords here and thought I should ask if it's okay to use that to my advantage in negotiations, if need be?" asked Tori, lowering Dan's head back into the water to give hi hair a rinse, before moving to Sophie.

"I....., If it's for the good of the village I don't see why not, what do you two think?"
Dan said
"Seems like it's a big part of their culture here, we should think of instituting some kind of freebee system"
Sophie said playfully sticking out her tongue
Rockey passive as ever didnt object, but also didn't seem to crazy about the idea.

After all was said and done with the group Asher went off the go find the elder letting him know how he was to escort him to see Dewinter relatively soon, "Hopfully once all this negotiating is done we can actually get your people another place to call home!" He says with a toothy smile a bit forceful showing his obvious nervousness he began to fidget before he turned offering his hand to the elder to help him on his way.
(Sorry for the late response had been quite busy)

(No worries, we all got stuff going on)

"Oh yes, lead the way sir asher"
The elder said in typical frail fashon
The attendant directs you to a large white tent at the water's edge, you are let inside and at fist find yourself alone,
The whole place is covered in what appears to be rose petals and scattered containers of potpourri. In the central area their is a small coffee table with a large dacanter of wine placed upon it, surrounded by many large luxurious lounge pillows.
"Oh do make yourselves comfortable! I'm just making myself decent, I'll join you in just a moment."
You hear from just behind a vertical folding screen. Her voice cascade's across the room with a youthful but learned air.

"Alexandra." She says, not really sure what the centaur is doing with her leg. "Umm... is that your way of putting your hand out for a hand-shake?"

"Yeah more or less, it's more convenient than leaning forward."
Guđrun replied
"At any rate I just thought this whole process may have been more than a bit stressful so some welcoming friendly reassurance seemed in order"
She said before leaning in a bit close to murmer in a hushed tone
"I also happened to notice you with your 'pony' on display and just wanted to let you know that my tent is the brown one at the furthest edge of the river, incase you were interested"
She says before trotting off.

Alex smirks to herself, as she looks at the centaur's flank. "Kae, you think we could play them off each other, somehow? It's not like you can't show them this..." She says, digging the contract up and handing it to the elf.

"O-oh um thank you!" Asher calls before making his way towards the coffee table seating himself and helping the elder to one as well he looked around at awe for a moment he had never really seen such a nice tent. He recalled in his earlier years using a tent but it was much smaller and...in tatters due to it not really being his a more trash than anything else, he gave a light sigh as he looked back at his past shaking his head he shouldn't worry about the past right now he needs to worry about getting these villagers a proper place that they can call home again. Thinking this he looks at the wine for a moment and gives a face of disgust briefly before fixing himself, recalling the stuff they slip into those things that make you into blubbering sluts. He looks towards the elder for a brief moment he didn't think he had to warn the elder did he? He never really saw him drink wine like that so maybe he wouldn't even indulge in it...thinking this he looks forward toward where he assumed Dewinter was still dressing maybe.

She took the contract in hands and inspects it for a moment. "We could but I think we should wait until we at least pick a side to support. Once we have someone powerful backing us, we should at least expose this little piece of mischief."

"Blackthorn seems off to me... maybe it's just he looks like a slithering serpent, though..." She shudders. "Scales... No thanks, I much prefer skin or fur."

Asher & the Elder_____________________________

The Dutchess Dewinter appears from behind the screen completely naked, apparently only taking the time to fix her hair or something?
Her short brown locks at first appear to be festooned with freshly picked wild flowers of all kinds, but upon further inspection it strikes you that might not be the case, as the second thing you notice is that her her extremities all have a soft mottled white texture not unlike a paper birch tree stopping at the shoulder and mid thigh.
Although to say those were the first things you noticed wouldn't be true because the very first thing you noticed was her absolutely gigantic ass. Dwarfing her C-cup bosom with its ludicrously beach-ball like circumference it absolutely dominated her pear shaped profile. It jiggled hypnotically as she waltzed over to a table with a cup on it at the far end of the tent,
"Thank you for being so patient, just let me fetch my favorite goblet and we can begin."
You think the elder just got a nose bleed.
As she turns around to face you, you see on her pubic mound just above her supple moist nether-lips blossoms a beautiful pink flower.
"Such a pleasure to meet with you both, I take it your the chieftain of the lovey fuzzy folk who just joined our little party here. And I suppose this lovely specimen is one of your many wives?"
she says reaching out to shake each of your hands before pouring herself a glass of wine an taking a seat on several large cushions
"Oh no, my wife passed away many seasons ago sadly, our village is mostly monogamous, tho I suspect the younger generation may seek to change that. And this strapping young lad before you is Sir Asher, the rabbit Knight, something of a local hero to our people."
"Oh my! a young man? What ever did I do to receive the audience of one so beautiful as your self Sir Asher? my Deepest apologies"
the Duchess says with a very sultry look.
"I'm told you are the person to speak with about integrating our two cultures"
The elder said
"That's right, you absolutely came to the right place, my tithes love to go on about how I'm the fairest patron around, I also arbitrate disputes well"
She said with a wink
"So much like any other patron will tell you there is a tithe you are required to pay and that represents 10% of your earnings to date. So whatever amounts to one tenth of your estate and a similar percentage on all future income, we tend to prefer silver, but all manner of goods and services have been given as well. Now on top of this most patrons will ask for some other contribution of service to the common good, this can take the form of piety to the gods though the efforts of the church, or through crafting new buildings through the peoples municipal works. I personally however only ask one additional thing of my patrons and that is fertility. We are clearly the God's chosen people after all and its our duty to spread across the land and inherit whats ours, and as far as I can tell the best way to do that is to multiply, everything else follows after that. So for every 4 vassals I have dwelling in a given area I require 1 pregnancy every 2 seasons, or 1 child per year per couple more or less."
She says very matter of factly,
"Now theirs no penalty for not fulfilling this obligation, per say, but that's only really because my vassals have never found that request too unreasonable, or difficult to fulfill. In fact some villages love to compete to see who can fill their quota faster."
She says with a sultry smirk.
"But I'm sure you have other questions, please feel free to ask, I'm an open book"
She finishes before taking another sip of wine.

[For anyone curious I've included a picture of the duchess on the game page]
