    It's mostly the fact that Envy has two different listings

    We're that good. This is why I do the arching and you do the henching.

    Seriously how did my mind take 3 days to cross-reference the Venture Brothers and Envy.

    Seriously, it's just keeping track of where various points of prestige are tied up in diplomatic efforts. Current Prestige (Prestige without Diplomatic Actions)

    Just making sure I understand turn order, when you say it starts with the current regent and proceeds down the list in order, the list it proceeds down is the current prestige ranking for the turn correct? (ie this turn Envy would go last)

    edit also can any of the basic cantrips be cast on places of power?

    Mammon has insulted Satan before the Infernal Conclave! The House of Lust must decide whether to accept the insult or refute it and claim the Right of Vendetta.

    I don't know if there is discord in the house of mammon or some magic of satan or if this is a simple clerical error

    But the House of Lust did receive notice of insult this morning, and if this cannot be resolved then the we will don our war chaps and oil up for a fierce struggle

    The heck does this mean? Your house, the House of Mammon, is the one that foolishly insulted the House of Wrath. Someone in your house initiated this mess.

    There is a clerical error in that it is up to us, THE MIGHTY HOUSE WRATH, to decide whether to accept or refute the insult and claim the Right of Vendetta.

    Do not misunderstand

    I am the Champion of the House of Lust, of Asmodeus, not the merchant lord Mammon

    By my Lord Dong's will we have made no enemies thus far and we seek none, who sits the throne of hell is not our concern so long as we can regain our lost carnal domains.

    However that does not mean I will accept my lords prestige being tattered by insult, as it is apparently is going by the scoreboard.

    If the house of the departed lucifer has had a slip of the quill then we will continue to seek the pleasure of our current ambition.

    But if someone seeks to make sport of us with this sort of foreplay then they will arouse something they have not bargained for, as Champion of Wrath you can appreciate the desire to raise a stiff defense when ones master is threatened

    So..
    How do the non-champion vendettas work?
    Is there a time limit to complete them?
    Can we just not vendetta against Envy and Demand more junk from them again, because that would be pretty funny.

    Vendettas with Legions do have time limits. Please read the Pseudomonarchia Demonum for an overview on Vendettas settle by legions. They are not all encompassing (yet), but it gets the broad strokes.

    If you choose not to Vendetta with Envy, you forfeit the Prestige they gained by refusing your demand. You would not be able to perform another demand or insult for a turn due to having to wait. Additionally, without Prestige, you cannot make demands.

    Well, we can't march on Envy without knowing how long it would take before the 'Capturing Cantons' windows closes (perhaps we state this), or whether it closes immediately after claiming the requisite amount, or whether Envy's retaliations would count against such an objective.
    Not that we would of course.
    But y'know, for reference.

    Ongoing Events

    Mammon has claimed the Right of Vendetta against Leviathan and has chosen Single Combat! Each house's champion must submit their fighting orders this round. Failure to do so will be seen as act of cowardice and forfeiture by the Conclave! Other houses may wager up 5 of their Prestige on the outcome in this thread.

    Glory on the sands! The champion of Belphegor has defeated Mammon's chosen in the Arena! The House of Sloth has won 14 Prestige as a result of this battle!

    Combat Log
    Belphegor: 2 HP
    Mammon: 1 HP

    Round 1: Belphegor - 1 Defense vs. Mammon - 1 Defense. No damage. Belphegor: 2/2 Mammon: 1/1

    Round 2: Belphegor - 1 Defense 4 Offense vs. Mammon - 1 Offense. 4 damage to Mammon. Belphegor 2/2 Mammon 0/1

    Victory to Belphegor

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHTxOlFfUa0

    Belphegor's champion did not show up for the fight with Beelzebub's champion. As a result, the House of Gluttony wins the combat by forfeit, gaining 10 Prestige!. May they know shame

    Satan has refuted Mammon's insult and has claimed the Right of Vendetta by Legion Combat! May their legions die well. Other houses may wager up 5 of their Prestige on the outcome in this thread.

    Leviathan has accepted Belphegor's insult before the Infernal Conclave. They have lost prestige as a result of this,


    Prestige Totals

    Sloth- 24
    Gluttony - 20
    Wrath - 10
    Lust - 10
    Envy - 0
    Greed - 0

    PMs are going out now, let's go demons and devils!
