Part 20: 15.A: Would you be my friend?

: Would you be my friend? – Gameplay



: Time again to seek out where the Rites shall take you next, by searching for the answer in the waning starlight.







Like with the Book, just click the image of the planner to see a higher resolution screenshot.

: The Fate didn’t get hit quite as hard as I would have thought, considering that Lendel and the Accusers got sent straight to the bottom after we defeated them. Although, we didn’t have access to the planner before we went against him, so, maybe it was always that low.

: What the planner is telling us here is actually quite interesting: it’s saying that Manley and the Chastity successfully beat Ignarius and the Tempers; Udmildhe and the Withdrawn beat Lendel and the Accusers (like I had guessed); and that Sir Deluge and the Pyrehearts had beaten Barker and the Dissidents. The race for second place is neck-and-neck between Tamitha and the Essence, who, as the odd one out, has not competed against anyone yet, and Manley.

: Let’s see what our options are for competitors this time.





: Usually, I’ve done my best to try and not influence the vote on who to select for a Rite, or who to compete against for our next Rite, or whether to shave Rukey’s moustache or whatever, but:

: For anyone that’s had it in their mind to select Manley whenever he comes up: as fun as it is to punch him in the face over and over, we’ll get much more content and character progression if we don’t do that. It’s fine if we want to play against him now if we want, but, try not to pick him every single time he shows up.

: With that out of the way, this update is quite short, and we’ve already got another vote! Do we play against Manley and the Chastity, ranked third, at the Spring of Jomuer? Do we play against Sir Deluge and the Pyrehearts, ranked sixth, at the Pit of Milithe? Or do we play against Tamitha and the Essence, ranked second, at the Glade of Lu?

: Five votes, and we’ll be on our way!
