"Speech."
Selven has successfully stolen Xovad, played by fleabittengray from the Versai by use of this auto steal.
"I'd start praying, if I were you."
fleabittengray Figured why not! Something cheeky for the king to do and dramaaaaa's

What did you have planned? I'll have him posted soon, but if we can't plot his release soon, he'll have to challenge for his release.

fleabittengrayI'm thinking selven is informed about hymm and xovad killing Ragnar ect. Selven will want to punish him for the act of murdering a member of the keep and in his mind *interfering with royal business* so def using him as a public example with some grueling beating since selven would most likely ignore whatever he has to say. They could have a private chat after the display too as I think selven would want to rub salt in the wound. As for whenever leaving they can discuss that IC cuz I def see selven being cheeky about it like "if you can best my right hand or myself I *may* let ya go with some spec of dignity Lemme know what say you! And lemme know if you need some more time ❤️

Fallen I'd really prefer him not to be beaten. He's already had several dramatic and traumatic plots and I'm getting burnt out. I'd like to avoid a battle if possible with him, again because he literally has so much going on, but if it comes to that, I'll do it.

So since I'm horrible at plotting things out and selven is pretty much his own leech this is what I've typed up; "Since your cowering has amused me I offer you this. Bare me and mine a child of importance, from *your* loin. Should you not have one available, you will have one year to produce one. Every year after, a child shall be sent to our door or we will come and take it. This is my only generosity. Refuse this, then you shall prepare yourself to fight. If you lose, you will serve me and reside in the belly of the keep till we decide otherwise. If you win, you take me" So Essen if xovad would agree to that tax he can go home asap. If not then unfortunately I don't see selven allowing xovad to have someone fight him in place of himself. Or looking to kindly on that at least. I'm sorry you're burnt out on the dramatics though, I'll do my best to work with ya n I'm patient! As for cadence, if xovad wants to sit in the keep until the end of the war for cadence to fight in his place, that would piss selven off royally and tbh idk how that would work since he's the literal lord of Utopia n selvens just a mortal. Less he could get temp blessed/cursed with some destructive power or cadence is stripped of his just for the fight thread I don't see it being a fair fight. (Which I'd be semi cool with it if it was even cu I'm not ready for selven to die yet lol) fleabittengray ➳ T e c h n o ➳

Anytime there's a mortal x afterlife battle the afterlife character is temporarily stripped of their powers. It's in the guidebook <3

Fallen Xovad's already incredibly weaker from the Underworld curse on his lands. And himself/his lands are already being taxed by Nemesis, would appreciate if there wasn't another one. Let's just see how the thread goes. Xovad might just be angry enough to turn right around and say "see ya at the battle grounds" but idk lol.

Hello friends, just a note on our battle rules:
Once the thread between the stolen and thief is done, anyone can challenge for Xovad.

Im cool with both thread n potential battle is fine. The tax was offered as a way to alleviate some IC stress on you but to also ensure Selven is being played true to his character given the circumstances and seeing as how hes feeling pretty chained. As for the tax already on him in my understanding, Hymn is going to Toxin Raj. so a foal from Xovad isn't much of an ask, especially as he would be free to leave THK after their thread when this would be agreed. Sel would also be kind enough to give him a year to produce a child for said tax which shouldn't syress xovad to terribly and is really extending generosity on selvens end. Selven could even offer aide for the uw sickness as like a 'good will' of sorts in exchange for the baby tax. And as long as xovad delivers, selven would gladly hand him a healer. N thank ya techno, icy! I didn't re look at the rules regarding that so I wasn't exactly sure how it'd work esp since I've read some tid bits where mortals got their booty handed to em by the afterlife peoples lol fleabittengray ➳ T e c h n o ➳ @icydragon

Fallen Xovad will never willingly allow a child of his to go to the Dark Kingdom, especially under these circumstances. Just like Selven is staying true to his character, so is Xovad. He just lost his brother and sister to the Dark Kingdom/Helkaer, has an Underworld curse to worry about at home. He's not going to play nice, at all.

Coolbeans. So if selven wins can he chose to keep Yvette instead or does he *have* to only keep xovad?
If Yvette wins what's your stipulation? Keeping selven?
Also do you want this to be a fairly quick fight?

Whoever wins will keep Xovad.
What do you mean by quick fight? Like 3 posts each or low word count or something?
A z z y
I was not aware there was a truce between them lol has there ever been a truce between Helkaer and Dark Royals but we can discuss the impact of that since Yvette is doing this purely to get back at Selven for threatening Nemesis and also to fuck with Xovad lmao

A z z y fleabittengray + ebonite + FallenJust want to point out that since Nemesis already currently has Xovad under a tax (pretty much the same thing actually just not carrying it out over years!) she would likely view this as Selven encroaching on breaching their truce. I.E. She will not be pleased to find out about this demand and would likely send Yvette in her stead and she will definitely vocalize this to Xerxes and the Dark Royals.

I wasn't sure what the plan was going forwards with this, but as Gray has posted Xovad... I don't get how Selven would know about this tax Nemesis has implemented without it being considered meta gaming? Not trying to be difficult here BTW, just don't want this evolving into a larger cluster fuck than it needs to be ❤️

Nemesis doesn't know atm, I just mentioned when she finds out that is how she will view this. I am planning on ic interaction for her to find out.
I was already planning for her to go to the highlands to demand payment sooner bc of slys death in preparation for act 3

OKIE caught up! so i have replied to gray thats first! Im fine with seein how the thread goes. fleabittengray since youre against the tax, how about Selven forces Xovad to give him his true name, or he'll owe him a big favor or something (just throwin things at this point)? IDK if that would have any impact on anything but somethings better than nothing IG. + ebonite + I just saw your previous reply with 2 hits no dodges, and im cool with that! Thats what i meant by something short and quick. thats if a fight will still be necessary ➳ T e c h n o ➳ Selven and nem just always gonna be at each others throat smh lol however, since selven wouldnt have known about any other tax, (and also he wouldn't really care cuz they're in separate factions and it shouldn't affect what shes doing) him taxing xo shouldn't be an issue. But like i mentioned here about learning his name or something that could be a thing but IDK. I think that would have to involve some torment but tht is also something that could always be done as a fade to black situation. the beating and torture doesnt have to be written out. (which should avoid the drama burn out) Otherwise if we cant agree what will happen with this we could ask Icy or another staff to help come up with some suggestions since we've now posted to each other n may be a lil late to drop it.

Fallen Ohhh the true name thing could be fun! I'm down for that. Also the favor thing could be mighty interesting. Also I was thinking, what if they had a bit of an unofficial fight with each other in the thread? No official winner/loser, just going at each other. I figured it fit the theme of the thread lol!

Yvette won't fight if it compromises the truce. She won't do anything that goes against Helkaer goals. It sounds like that won't be necessary though!

Maybe that is how selven manages to get his name n get that favor lol if you've seen Witcher or played it this *favor* can be something he calls on down the line! Kinds like (the law of surprise) Just to keep a lil bit of tension 😈 + ebonite + no worries!
