Conviction Choices

Conviction Choice 1 (Hyzantian Soldier)

  • I did not think it possible to amass such riches under Hyzante’s system of equality. I do hope Minister Sorsley is not giving more than he can afford… (Utility)
  • Thanks to him, we can rebuild our town. Please tell him that we will not forget his generosity. (Morality)
  • Before that, there is something I would know. What do you think of Minister Sorsley as his vassal? (Liberty)

Conviction Choice 2 (Wolffort Soldier)

  • Please, say no more. I would be loath to lie to my own soldiers… (Morality)
  • All we do, we do for Wolffort. I ask that you keep observations like these to yourself. (Utility)
  • …This is proof of his resolve, one which I will support with all my might. (Liberty)

Triangle Strategy Chapter IX – Main Story

Castle Wolffort (Voting)

For this decision, the group is voting on whether to transport the illegal salt to Aesfrost or to travel to Hyzante to report the illegal salt shipments. Talk to your allies and persuade them on which location you want to go to. Kick off the voting when you’re ready to see the results, leading to the end of Triangle Strategy Chapter IX Part I.

If you are trying to get Serenoa’s ending, you’ll need to agree to transport the salt to Aesfrost.

Conviction Choices by Character

Roland – Prefers to transport the illegal salt to the duchy at House Ende’s behest

  • We ought to make for Hyzante and report the illegal salt shipments.
    • 1st Set of Choices
      • House Ende aims to make us their pawn. If we gave them an inch, they are apt to take a mile.
      • The whole realm may know of your death, but I think it still too dangerous to make way to Aesfrot.
      • ???
    • 2nd Set of Choices
      • As your vassal, I cannot let you be an accomplice to these wrongdoings in all good conscience.
      • If we get to Hyzante, we may be able to negotiate ourselves aid from the other saints.
      • Salt is the financial foundation of the Holy State. If we expose Minister Sorsley’s crimes, we can easily gain the Holy One’s trust
        • Sorsley’s Responsibilities info

Geela – Prefers to transport the illegal salt to the duchy at House Ende’s behest

  • We ought to make for Hyzante and report the illegal salt shipments.
    • 1st Set of Choices
      • Aesfrost is our enemy, and I doubt we would be welcomed with open arms. Not to mention we have no clue as to who our recipient might be…
      • The production and management of salt is the foundation of Hyzante. I doubt they would let us off with a mere warning were our crimes to be discovered.
      • What Minister Sorsley is doing is illegal. That much is certain. Though we may not have proof, justice is on our side.
        • The Saintly Seven of Hyzante info
    • 2nd Set of Choices
      • All evil deeds come to light in time. I would expose Sorsley’s wrongdoings before then and earn Hyzante’s trust.
      • House Wolffort does not tolerate injustice. I would protect the integrity of my house.
      • Minister Exharme stands opposed to Minister Sorsley. He would no doubt help us if we asked.
        • Exharme Marcial Info

Hughette – Prefers to transport the illegal salt to the duchy at House Ende’s behest

  • We ought to make for Hyzante and report the illegal salt shipments.
    • 1st Set of Choices
      • Roland’s death has just been announced. Going to Aesfrost now would put him in unnecessary danger…
      • If we have no evidence, we need only find it. We should not let a lack of proof spur us into compliance.
      • ???
    • 2nd Set of Choices
      • Any wrongdoings will stain the Wolffort and Glenbrook family name forever, and I would rather not sully our honor if I could avoid it.
      • I wish to expose Minister Sorsley not just to keep our hands clean, but to gain the Holy Ones’s support by show of good faith.

Benedict – Prefers to travel to Hyzante and report the illegal salt shipments

  • We should transport the salt to the duchy at House Ende’s behest.
    • 1st Set of Choices
      • There is no guarantee we will succeed in exposing Sorsley. And should we fail, we would make enemies of both House Ende and the Holy State itself.
      • Regardless of his motives, we owe him a debt, and I would rather not repay kindness with betrayal.
      • Right now, House Wolffort stands alone. We cannot risk losing Minister Sorsley’s support.
        • House Wolffort’s Weakness info
    • 2nd Set of Choices
      • It is. We haven’t sufficient information to take action.
      • Minister Sorsley is no fool. I doubt he would blindly trust us to carry out such an important deal.
      • Shaking Hyzante’s faith in one of the Saintly Seven will be night impossible.

Frederica – Prefers to travel to Hyzante and report the illegal salt shipments

  • We should transport the salt to the duchy at House Ende’s behest
    • 1st Set of Choices
      • Right now, House Wolffort stands alone. We are in sore need of House Ende’s support.
      • There is a time and place for everything. And now is not the time to bring Minister Sorsley to Justice.
      • Minister Sorsley is one of the Saintly Seven. Proving him guilty would be a struggle even with evidence, of which we have none.
        • The Saintly Seven of Hyzante info
    • 2nd Set of Choices
      • Our relations with Aesfrost are strained enough as it is, and I would rather not make any more enemies if we can avoid it.
      • I wish to know Aesfrost’s true intentions. We might glean something new if we got there.
      • I have heard rumors of Minster Exharme. Though he looks reliable at first glance, I do not know if he can truly be trusted…
        • Exharme Marcial Info

Erador – Prefers to travel to Hyzante and report the illegal salt shipments

  • We should transport the salt to the duchy at House Ende’s behest.
    • 1st Set of Choices
      • House Ende has given us money and provisions. Would reporting them not be biting the hand that feeds?
      • Minister Sorsley is no fool. He is no doubt wary of our betrayal.
      • While I believe Minister Exharme would help us find Minister Sorsley guilty… we ought to be careful around him. He is no doubt another trying to use us as his pawn.
        • Exharme Marcial Info
    • 2nd Set of Choices
      • If our accusations fall on deaf ears, we make an enemy of both House Ende and the Holy State. The risk is too great.
      • …I understand, but we must do this to see House Wolffort survive. Please, Erador, I ask you to bear this burden with us.
      • Running away from our problems will avail us nothing. Ill-earned though it may be, we need house Ende’s coin.
        • House Wolffort’s Weakness info

Anna – Undecided

  • We should transport the salt to the duchy at House Ende’s behest.
    • 1st Set of Choices
      • If we know the way House Ende’s illicit operations work, we may figure out a way to get the upper hand.
      • There is no harm in gaining Minister Sorsley’s trust, regardless of what unfolds in the future.
      • ???
    • 2nd Set of Choices
      • Our house’s honor is trivial at best. You needn’t pay it any mind.
      • Right now, we must do everything in our power to keep our people alive and house standing. So long as we do, there will be a chance to reclaim our honor.
      • The words of outsiders likely mean little against the Saintly Seven. If we bring charges against Minister Sorsley, he may just lay all the blame at our feet.
        • The Saintly Seven of Hyzante info
  • We ought to make for Hyzante and report the illegal salt shipments.
    • Aesfrost is enemy territory and as such a greater danger to us. I would rather not put Roland at such a risk if I could avoid it.
    • We may not have evidence, but the fact that we have been asked to traffic illicit salt remains unchanged. If we speak to the other saints, we may yet find ourselves an ally.
    • ???
