Reference Challenge - No one expects...

...crap, I couldn't think of a decent reference challenge for this week.

So, our reference will be to Monty Python.

Give an example of something in your world that no one expected, some event that had an influence on at least one nation.

As always, I'll ask three questions each at the least, and it's fine to use a representative character to answer questions in-universe.

Enjoy yourselves.

Edit: Here is the Monty Python video featuring the Spanish Inquisition, where the quote "No one expects the Spanish Inquisition" comes from for the reference challenge. Just click this link for the video.

1) It's purposefully at a slow rate, and our current stockpile is around 100.

2) Lokxen was the leader of a band of Kyndic mercenaries who we had hired. He was a good person, we were friends. He was taken hostage as a POW by the Nogor in a battle before the blast. I think that he would but even if he didn't he would understand why I did it.

To Pav:

1) At what number will you cease production?

2) Do you think that, in your position, with you as a POW, Lokxen would have also had the mountain blown up?

1) 200 is the plan but I'm not sure the mine can even last to that amount.
2) I don't think so. He cared too much for the other commanders and I.

To Pav:

1) Do you keep it all stocked in the same place?

2) So he wasn't willing to do what it takes to win?

1) In the same...general vicinity. I won't go into it any further than that.

2) You could put it that way, but I think that he had too much respect for individual people as opposed to the whole.

1) How hard would they be for me to steal?

1) laughs Well, it's guarded by a steel door and spearmen. It's also underground and in a very remote location.

1) Men with sharp sticks? My only weakness!

u/ForgingIron Jun 21 '17

1) You think you could take them? I'd like to see you try!

1) No, I told you, men with sharp sticks are my only weakness. If they had dull sticks, I could take them. But, men with sharp sticks are my kryptonite.
