It made no sense yet the Elite Guard betrayed him after helping him rid of the other traitors in the Council.
Hmmm. Could it be related to our statement that we will shoot all the leaders of our country without any sort of plan behind it while the war is still ongoing, and only then we will start thinking about what to do next? :M
"I have not yet decided. Maybe Vinland needs a different kind of government. But this is very personal to me, and it will be better if I continue to sentence the rest of their ilk on my own. Once it is done, then I will think a lot and see what would be the best for all of us."
Because I would have shot us, too, after such a claim.

Why are we turning this into a personal witch-hunt? :|

Do this shit properly or not at all! We must preserve our own sanity and organize some special troikas who will look into the guilt of each individual based on the law, not on a whim of the madman in charge. :salute:

While Freyjanna would at this moment probably abuse Sarah in the most degrading, humiliating and violent ways, Angartýr had better things to do than defiling a corpse.
Also, I do not understand. Don't Angartyr and Freyjanna share a mind? Why would there be such a difference in approach? Is it because of all of the abuse she suffered herself? Or because she is a vampire?

We don't know what happened to Frey's body after we got shot, do we? Did we lose our ability to switch already?

While a darker part of him considered going farther in this revenge
I am almost afraid to ask what you could possibly do to a person after an unimaginable ancient horror is done with them.

P.S. Does Carl know or at least suspect where to find Isaac? He has quite a spy network to track us down and bring to him.

Not necessarily. Perhaps they have been bought by a group seeking to take over the country and Angartýr did most of the work for this coup, leaving only himself to be murdered as well.

Because the memories of her are barely noticeable to Angartýr, almost to the level where he does not feel those memories as if they were his own, but like something someone else confided him with. Therefore he is not as obsessed with extreme and merciless acts of revenge as Freyjanna would be. Furthermore, he is not tainted by cursed blood.

He never tried to switch ever since, so there is no way yet to know.

#1: As Sarah and Jacob with their extreme cruelty and sadism have demonstrated, vampires can survive having all bones broken, impalement, being disemboweled, skinned alive and regrow mutilated limbs(except for the head) again and again if well fed.

#2: Sarah is not truly human yet she has a perfectly human form that clearly is not a mere optical illusion... how have they managed to look perfectly human despite being Ancient ALIENS? If they can do it, therefore it is a potential ability in all who share such cursed blood.

#3:

But Angartýr is too humane to do anything like that.

Maybe yes, maybe not. No way to be sure.

"You could have simply left that whore to die and rot... but it happened, so, why are you here?" he asked, still drunk.

"If there was any chance of that happening without a disaster for us, I would have killed such treasonous scum, Angartýr. I hope you can forgive it. I embraced her because she left me no other choice. Now, you may assume, provided you have enough sobriety left right now, that I am here because of that intelligence you asked my husband about."
I may not have followed this CYOA too attentively... but why Sarah couldn't kill Kraka earlier without danger to herself? What changed now?

...but to ask?

I just can't get him out of my head. The guy desired money, he got more than he could spend. Then he desired immortality, and got it on a silver platter. But why would anyone think he will stop there?

I have a feeling that he is involved in this conflict in one way or the other.

The danger was that Kráka or one of her agents could tell Angartýr everything. She used her knowledge of their conspiracy and infiltration over Vinland as leverage to be turned in exchange for keeping her mouth shut. After she actually broke her promise and told Angartýr everything, nothing stopped them from dealing with her the way they did.

Kráka was also paranoid and hallucinating, so her claims about how they have previously attempted to kill her before she broke her promise to keep what she knew a secret could have been delusional self-fulfilling prophecies.

*Edit: I don't like to double post therefore if it takes longer for someone to comment than for Stereotypical Villain to update his Prisoner of Ice LP, it's not my fault.

Ahhhh so much going on!

1 A - things seemed to be working OK until the whole, uh, mass-enthrallment thing. Can't trust these fools with democracy.
2 A - this'll cause some social instability, but oh well.
3 D - technology is just too primitive to support communism yet. Besides a little inequality, has capitalism really treated us so bad? I wish there was an "alternate" option to have a modern Scandinavian-style socialism
4 A - sorry ... nice guy, but we really don't need someone fermenting revolution at this time

Oh, but he was. :incline:

It does not make sense to get rid of people who are currently trying to help you, but you need not look much further than to Jacob's and Sara's fates to find out what happens to the ones trying to subvert us. Or to the council members. Or to the infiltrators, if we manage to identify and find them. And if Carl ever goes too far, well... :smug:

Right, the votes.

1A - The low-rankin officials don't decide anything. Traitors or not, they can't affect the workings of the state in a significant way. They are also easily interchangeable if we ever suspect them of something. As long as we do not depend on them too much (they have no irreplaceable elements among them, and we have a controlling organ to cross-check their loyalties and activities) we can leave their investigation for later after establishing the new government.


Carl's people would probably be good candidates for an institution that would check them out. They are not friends of Myrr. Of course they aren't the best friends of our government, either, but we can deal with it one problem at a time.

2C>A - Isaac is hidden too thoroughly to concern ourselves with him. Finding him will require too much time, and time is not something we have in abundance. If he is their enemy, he will come out of hiding himself should we show ourselves to be strong enough to oppose them.

Though the choice implies we will do so after the order is restored. In which case it might be worthwhile to investigate the lead.

3B - First, establish the government. Next, emancipate the slaves. Do it quiclky, though, for the situation can be exploited both ways, no matter if we release them or keep the status quo. Also, "because freedom" is not much of an argument. We have not gone full SJW yet.

4B - Same with the economics. Establish the governmentt, finish the war, build the powerbase that would be enough to make decisions of that magnitude without turning the boat over.

5B - Instead, use the temporary stability to enhance your airforce and end the war.

Not sure about the 6th question. How much their genetic heritage corresponds to their present day actions? :flamesaw:

This is still active, and here are the results for now sadly with a draw:

2 - A, Investigate Isaac Abraham at the ruins of the former Mýrr Manor as a possible lead to "them"

3 - B, restore order fully before enacting the emancipation of all slaves.

4 - B, same as before, better to have more stability before doing drastic economic changes towards a more planned economy from top to bottom.

5 - B, use bombers and air supremacy instead of chemical weapons to break through the enemy defenses.

6 - A, there is only one final solution to this question. SUFFER NOT MELONHEADS*

* I'm assuming
means a vote for the first option because if it was a vote for C there would be a second draw.



Now there is a draw between

1 - A, don't do anything against the lower ranking officials of the State

vs.

2 - B, launch a very through, long term investigation, because it is better to be safe than sorry, even if it is expensive and will delay normalization of the State.

I need a tie breaker to proceed with this, but it's already almost certain Vinland will become a Socialist, or more specifically, a National-Socialist country.

:M

I'm a sucker for undead lolis.

Wait what? How old is she?

Angartýr knew he didn't have much time, and rapidly moved close to a girl in her early teens that was clearly trying to not draw attention from how precisely and slowly she walked, or more precisely, sneaked around like a shadow, making absolutely no noise from her footsteps. The kid immediately looked at him scared, as he gestured for her to be quiet, showing her an emerald on his hand

Somewhere I might have ended contradicting what I wrote previously about Freyjanna. It's one of the downsides of writing stuff in a completely spontaneous style rather than having a completely planned plot. Sometimes you goof up. Nevertheless, it's a matter of perspective. Either she is somewhere around 13-17 years old, 18 years old or over 50 years old(chronologically).
