Showing source for Wulfenbach Interests

Girl Genius Game | RecentChanges | Preferences

{{Summary=Gil has been sent by Klaus to see what the heck is going on, and make sure that there is no threat to the Empire here. He has a few trusted retainers with him.}}

{{Description=If [[Klaus]] isn't present (as seems likely at this point), he'd definitely make sure that there were those present to make sure that Wulfenbach interests were taken care of. Obviously, [[Gil]] and whatever expedition he's with / leading would play a part in this; unless he were very pressed, though, Klaus would probably have some sort of extra oversight / involvement?)

Basically, this plot is a marker for those who'd support Wulfenbach to make sure that Gil isn't overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of Agatha + company.

Justin: Yes, that sounds right. It's a delicate balancing act, but I concur that we need to deal with it. Indeed, we need to make sure that someone like [[DuPree]] is present, to keep [[Gil]] from falling in with Agatha too easily himself.

As a side note: I don't think Klaus would rely too heavily on Jaegers for this security; Klaus seems well aware that they still have strong Heterodyne loyalties - in fact, if he's bright (which he is) he'd probably try to guard against a sudden and undesirable mass transference of Jaeger loyalties (not necessarily by having more force there, that's terribly unsubtle - more likely by setting up the situation so that the Jaegers defecting en masse would work against their own interests.) Justin: true, but I think we should construct the scenario so that Klaus didn't know Agatha was involved. That eases a lot of problems, and makes it more plausible that he didn't come himself.

Justin 1/7: In practice, this plot boils down to, "Klaus sent Gil to figure out what's going on". This is [[Gil]]'s only active plot, and it's intentionally vague -- he is to ascertain what's up with the Hidden Castle, and make sure that it doesn't present a threat to the empire. Its membership mostly corresponds to the [[Wulfenbach Envoys]] faction, but not quite -- the faction is more about loyalties, whereas the plot is more about who actually came *with* Gil.

The Wulfenbach group is traveling "incognito" -- that is, looking like an ordinary noble and his retainers, rather than the usual Wulfenbach army. This is mainly because he's trying to show his father that you don't have to resort to overpowering force in all circumstances. But he's not stupid, so he's brought the two deadliest members of his father's retinue with him, [[DuPree]] and [[Jenka]]. He does, of course, have a flying fort and a small army of Clanks, but they are a day's ride away at this point. (Does this make sense? If not, possibly [[Othar]] and crew brought down his airship, so he really is on his own.)
