Dear followers, we need your input to advance the story!

Right now, Dirk has to persuade Sollux to join him, while Eridan must convince Terezi that his brother is up to no good and he must be punished.



So, if you’d like to take the matter in your hands, address any member of Dirk’s and Eridan’s parties to convince the Royal Mage and the respectively! If we won’t get any input by Monday, we’ll arbitrarily decide their fates.



Here’s a note on the rules, a recap of the story and the party lists, if you need them.

Rules

Through the “Command your hero” button, you can give orders to the characters, but only to those currently unlocked (e.g. “Dirk, do a thing” or “Eridan, go there”). For “Unlocked character” we mean any character that has joined either party; those who are not yet affiliated can’t be controlled until they picked a side.

At the current point of the story, Dirk’s and Eridan’s moves are limited to the Castle Area and they can interact only with the characters that we listed as inhabitans of the area (right now, the only ones left open for the recruitment are the Royal Inquisitor, the Royal Mage and the Cleric).



We received some Commands about recruiting characters that we haven’t listed, therefore we didn’t answer them. We’ll consider them once we unlock the next Area, but we might not process them all, especially those that used the direct names of Homestuck characters, such as John or Vriska: for the future, please remember to use the Character Roles we listed (such as Royal Counselor, First Knight and such)



Regarding the recruitment of other characters, it follows the rule “First come, first served”; however, recruitment won’t be always automatic: sometimes it will require specific actions or sometimes it won’t work, reflecting the Homestuck’s original characters relations.

We’ll also have the necessity to keep even the numbers between the teams, so once either Dirk or Eridan will meet their quota for an Area, the other characters will join the team with fewer members.

The success or the failure of specific actions will be based on the character’s stats and skills, plus a roll of a d20 dice.

Recap

Long time ago, in a land far, far away…

There was a kingdom, but no king…

He passed away, leaving two sons

Two princes, but only one throne

And so, it began a vicious feud







Both princes are looking for supporters, to help them in the fight against the other brother.

- - -

Prince Dirk, with his faithful Page Jake, had recruited Rose, Counselor of the late king, with the promise of making her queen by marrying her. The Prince also had obtained the help of the Knight Dave of the Royal Guard in the name of the strong friendship that binds them.

Right now, Dirk, Jake, Rose and Dave need to convince the Royal Mage Sollux to join their quest.



- - -

Prince Eridan had enlisted the help of the Bard Gamzee, using his reluctant Page Tavros as a bargain chip to gain the jester’s trust.

Right now, Eridan, Tavros and Gamzee are facing the Inquisitor Terezi: she won’t be persuaded unless she thinks the Prince Dirk is guilty of something.
