(Need to recheck names)
They should all be in the OP
āIāve been having my advisors scout out this council member for a while, looking into their purchase habits and eating habits. Count Marissa came here today with a plan to convince you that frog people didnāt exist, because they are a frog person! Thatās right! Marissa, what do you have to say for yourself?
(Note this was actually planned)
The peasants angry faces get angrier. Notably, Marissa is standing without bodyguards.
Dear Grandees, let me now swiftly address these allegations. I am not a frog person. I am, however, a hostage of theirs. They have threateaned my life and my families if I did not keep their secret safe!
(Wait I thought we discussed this)
I dmed her dw
The real Frogā¦ the one you should truly worry aboutā¦ is the KING HIMSELF!
āWhat type of normal human being orders toads or pigeons and then proceeds to murder them or have them mysteriously disappearā
See, there was a conspiracy. Frog people had infiltrated the ranks of the nobles. And, on one fateful night, they came up with a plan. Throw the king into the river, and replace him with their frog ruler!
The real King Litten is down at the bottom of the river.
We are testing new fertilizations methods. Ones that, I believe, the Grandees are beginning to feel the effects of with their prosperous farms? Have I not always been committed to farming?! I love farms!
āIf the true king is down in the river, then surely yoy would have no problem being thrown in there to bring the body up?ā
I cannot swim. I haveā¦ an alternative proposition. One to prove my status asā¦ not a frog. Only if you are willing to do the same.
WHAT DO YOU THINK, GRANDEES? WOULD YOU LIKE US TO PROVE THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL?
āI SAY WE THROW THEM IN THE RIVER. FROG PEOPLE CAN CLEARLY SWIM. IF THEY CAN SWIM, ITS CLEAR EVIDENCE THEY ARE A FROG PERSONā
The messengersā murmuring grows louder.
I can prove it much faster. Right here, in fact. Letās do this, once and for all.
Marissa pulls out an incredibly sharp scythe, and hands it to her lone advisor
āOh dear god, the frog person is going rabid.ā
Frog arms have a distinctly different biology from Human arms. I am willing to offer mine for study, to clear my name. King Litten, will you do the same?
All hell breaks loose upon hearing these words. The peasants start rioting, attempting to make their way to the stage; some to grab Litten, others to grab Marissa. +2 All Defiance.
The Honor Guard swiftly forms a formation around Litten, though a few guard Marissa instead. Evidently they are more loyal to the Counts than to the King.
Peasant: YEAHHH!!! WE KNOW WHAT YOU ARE!!!
