I have some main lines in my mind, but in general your choices will carry an effect in some form. Some small, some large. Some you might never really encounter later on, others might go quietly into the night. <br/><br/>I do plan on having some events take place that will push for game aspects, but you shouldn't have to take time out of your character's schedule to go hunting for bandits if you dont want to, just providing some background to the situation. Aid there would help, but its not -necessary- to solve things either. <br/><br/>In general, if your character joins along, the effects will grow a bit stronger, if not, their effects will likely be a bit subtler. Failure may occur on some occasions, but well time will tell. I enjoy the more free-form ways, but there's going to be more rule-heavy moments too at times.</div></div><br/>Listening to Tehr quietly until he was entirely done with his thoughts, and seeming to be waiting for her thoughts, Christina walked over to pick up the robe in order to don it and wrap it's belt properly around her, to keep herself concealed mostly. Her expression was thoughtful, and serious.<br/><br/>"I only just arrived. Seeing my arrival so closely followed by your departure might lead to some people suspecting there's trouble back at home. The bandits are an annoyance, but as you said they'll be the trouble of whatever group shows up to assist with the mining once the contracts are laid out. If you vanish off to fight them, certainly it would show our house is ready to defend its lands and takes any attempts against us personally, but it might also make it seem you are eager to ride off to battle. Appealing to some, but rash to others."<br/><br/>Watching Tehr seriously Tina's arms crossed under her chest, her steps carrying her before him as she finished her own glass setting it down and casting a look at what he was drinking. She said nothing instead stepping abit back. There was something predatory about her silent step as she moved back and forth now, biting on a nail while tapping another finger on her lips.<br/><br/>"You have worked yourself hard recently. I suggest taking abit of time to unwind, settle into that manor house, see to the queen, seeing your allies in town. Perhaps seeing how the matter with the priest plays out. You could head off with the halfling miss then, and who knows perhaps your allies would not mind assisting at our territory as well."<br/><br/>Looking at Tehr and shaking her head, Tina let out a soft sigh chucking out at the time. "You are a good guy, wanting to help the family, but charging back home might make an impression people would remember. You'll have to decide what kind of an image you are planning on. Making women chuckle and enjoy your company, and other women know about that and pursue your company for its 'infamy' seems a given matter. How you deal with trouble you have faced may lead to some... assumptions."<br/><br/>Brushing her cleavage in that robe lightly with one hand she looked down as she continued speaking. Her tone sounding a little tense. "I don't know what would be best. Politics can be dirty, but things can be described in a good way or a bad way, depending on how you tell the tale. The choice is yours, and whatever comes out of it, the family will be there for you. Though keep doing things the same way forever and your enemies might learn it too. Sometimes surprising people with an unexpected choice may leave them guessing."<br/><br/>Blushed up, she then gestured at the bottle next to him. "Pour me a little would you? I hate thinking about all the intrigue like that, but trust me, mother had me read through some of the diaries she kept from the past years and, wow, some people really are vicious."
