After being taken hostage by the United Clergy, Remy was held below the deck, where he attempted to talk to Audrey and convince her to abandon the Clergy and help him escape. Audrey was to set in her beliefs to continue helping a "heretic" and believed that the clergy would keep her alive as he was more useful to them than he was. Later, during the night, Audrey came to Remy with an apple and water, questioning herself as to why she simply can't do what she's told. Before Remy could help her explore these thoughts, Kiwi sneaked up behind her and knocked her out with a frying pan, as he misinterpreted her act of goodwill. Remy insisted that they bring Audrey with them into the woods. In the forest, Remy collapsed from his injuries and Kiwi threatened Audrey to heal him with her own knife. Remy forced Kiwi to stand down and let Audrey decide on her own to heal him, and she did. Remy tried to connect to Ashley, asking her what she wanted and encouraging her to act on her own needs as a person. Audrey explained she simply wants the United Clergy to leave Alivast, as she doesn't believe they should be there. However, she explained that the clergy told her they're trying to rid the world of a blight left by a calamity, and that it might be the end of all things if they fail. After Audrey decided to analyze and learn of this danger before attempting to destroy it, the dysfunctional trio was found by her paladin, who by her own admission is a terrible person. Before he could take action, he was stabbed through the back of the head by orcs from ''The Blood of Gnash, ''who took Audrey and the others to Gruul Hellhorn. After their first day of work at the camp, Audrey witnessed Gruul and Rey battle in he Grouse. When given the option to pick between the two combatants to mate with, Audrey dropped her food and walked away. During their time at the camp together, Remy tried at every opportunity he had to get a moment alone with Audrey, which was very difficult considering Gruul refused to let her out of arm's reach most of the time. He was also shamed for attempting to follow her after being rejected at the Grouse; a cultural faux pas, even though all he wanted was the chance to talk to her. After discussing their battle tactics to against the United Clergy, Audrey expressed an internal conflict over selling out everybody she knew to people with the intent to kill them. Remy told her he'd try to allow as many to live as possible, but Audrey expressed to Remy all the things she felt was wrong with the Clergy as someone who grew up within it. She also expressed disappointment in herself for having compassion for people the Clergy deems as lower and commented that her situation has completely reversed. Remy reassured Audrey that her compassion is a virtue and that she's one of the better people opposing the Clergy. He also pointed out that if [[Orun]] saw her actions as against his will he wouldn't have allowed her to keep her magic, to which Audrey explained she noticed that and was wondering why that was the case. Remy promised to protect Audrey and give her the time she needs to figure things out.

Remy promised Audrey that he would do his best to make is so, up to the point where he got into a fight with Gruul over his tactics. Ultimately, Audrey's plan was respected and a large number of the enemy left the battlefield alive.

Remy, Kiwi, and Audrey were taken hostage by orcs from ''The Blood of Gnash'' during their retreat. Though they ambushed and hogtied the trio of fugitives, they guaranteed better treatment than the United Clergy would give provided they not try to escape. Remy didn't hesitate to refute their threatening language with threats of his own, an act that endeared him to some orcs who found his attitude admirable. When brought before Gruul Hellhorn, Remy operated negotiations as he would with other leaders and attempted to explain his predicament as well as possible. Remy was locked in a cell with food and water and after Shugah, the tribe's shaman, determined he was not a polymorphed creature, he was given work cleaning the auroch stables, as well as an arrangement with Gruul to exchange questions for questions. When his first day of work was finished, Remy was taken from the stables to the Grouse, where he was given dinner and the chance to partake in the tribal tradition of competing for mates. Though Remy was uninterested in that aspect of the competition, he figured it was a good opportunity to size up Gruul and assert his own strength. Though he lost the fight, he headbutted Gruul in the process, a move Gruul pointed out nobody had ever attempted against him. After this, Remy and Gruul developed a bizarre, somewhat hostile respect that's occasionally punctuated with heartfelt moments and antagonistic spats. Curiously, Gruul is convinced that Remy and Audrey would make a good couple and enjoys seeing them engage in positive interactions. Gruul has gone so far to talk up Remy to Audrey.

While planning their attack against the clergy's camp, Remy expressed a desire to fight their leader one on one, believing that if he could strike down Athtar in an honorable duel, his army would flee. Gruul snapped at Remy, firm in his belief that Athtar would never agree to those conditions and that Remy would be setting himself up for failure and death. Agitated, Remy struck Gruul who retaliated by lifting and choking Remy. After letting go, he told Remy that he had broken clan law and that consequences would be in order. After taking time to cool down and apologize, Gruul decided these consequences would be to once again pitch Audrey to Remy as a potential mate, which Remy again declined. This conversation led to the Grouse and Gruul's repeated rejection by the women in his clan. Gruul explained that because Tanarukk have the potential to become violent and hateful, he understood why he hasn't been chosen. Remy then questioned how that's any different from any other child born under any other circumstance, a realization that Gruul had seemingly never had. After this conversation, Gruul decided he trusted Remy enough to show him his collection of bottles he'd amassed over the years. He explained to Remy that he appreciated the craftsmanship of the glass, but found the drink inside to be less than satisfactory. Remy promised to show Gruul some [[Valithea|Valithean]] drinks that would be more to his liking (aka intended for consumption), and the two left again in sound alliance.

Background

"I'm just trying to keep people safe." ~Remy

Remus "Remy" Corbeau is a Kenku gryphon rider and part of a mercenary company of that includes Winter, Avery and Gregory. Until recently, Remy was under the command of Balfor Balton alongside his companions, assisting in the effort against the fire giant sieges. Of note, he participated in the evacuation of Tendelheim when fire giants raided the farming settlement.

Remy is an Eldritch Knight, a martial path that blends warrior training with arcane power. His father was a swordsman and his mother an arcane caster so Remy found comfort in blending the two disciplines. Capable of using most weaponry and armor, he augments his capabilities with key magical skills focused primarily on combat options, such as the ability to summon his weaponry to him, evoke elements such as fire and thunder, safely fall from the long distances should he or another be dismounted with airborne, and apparently the ability to smell like cookies. Since he has been temporarily relieved of his military duties he wears a more casual gambeson and he carries a rapier that his brother made as a defensive weapon in addition to his longsword.

He was a refugee with strong ties to a foreign government when he first arrived in Alivast. He wanted to help protect other refugees but the politics at the time precluded him from formally joining Alivast's armed forces because the city was wary about the conflict in the Alton Region spilling out into the new city. Due to his exemplary service as part of a mercenary company and the restoration of Valithea's independent government, Remy has a large amount of sway with the politicians of Alivast. He's grown on them through his independent service.

Remy and the Gryphon Riders as a whole met The Unexpectables when the latter mysteriously fell out of the sky, rescuing the group from near certain death. After these events and reporting the unexpected arrivals, Balfor Balton tasked Remy with escorting the group back to Alivast in addition to collecting ground reconnaissance from settlements along the way.

Later on, Remy accompanied Balfor Balton to the Silver King's Ball, and he reacquainted himself with The Unexpectables, accompanying them on their mission to spy on the Silver King. While he got some of the information he wanted, it shook him to his core. He left the party later on to retire and cry himself to sleep.

Remy was given "mandatory vacation time" during the Winter Festival by the Silver King, which he spent alongside his friends in the sled contest. This put him in proximity of the Sweet Dragon when its arcanium was destroyed as the Silver King kidnapped Willow. He helped them in their quest to return her home safely, but was later reprimanded and suspended from working for the Alivastian army for endangering a diplomat, and as a result, lost his gryphon.

During his time in Alivast, Remy has been staying with his family, but has been spending more and more time at the Sweet Dragon to the point where he is practically a regular resident.

Remy was then taken prisoner by the United Clergy of Orun, taken hostage after their defeat of the Green Gulley. He operated under the assumption that his friends drowned after being cast into the ocean. He was uncooperative with their demands for help in securing alliances to the south in Alivast, and suffered a great deal without food or water, but was able to gain the favor of the Cleric Audrey. He also ran into Kiwi, who happened to "save" him from Audrey in the same interaction. He cut him free from his bonds and was dragged into the forest west of the Clergy's camp. There, Remy, Audrey, and Kiwi were rescued from Audrey's Paladin by orcs from the Blood of Gnash who then took the three hostage. Remy partook in negotiations with their leader Gruul Hellhorn about how to deal with their shared enemy in the United Clergy, and now being reunited with his companions, an alliance has been formed that sought to drive the Clergy away from Alivast's shores. Later, this alliance expanded to include the miraculously-not-dead Unexpectables, their companion Zenrio, and a group of clergy deserters. Together, this alliance was able to kill Athtar and send his army sailing back to Paraton.

Personality

IMG 20171115 130855

Official S2 art of Remy by @StarPyrate

Remy comes from a noble, knightly family from Valithea, and unsurprisingly speaks and holds himself in a dignified manner and appears to have a decent amount of experience in matters both military and diplomatic. Due to his chivalrous, upright nature however, he can become a target for more wackier members of the army and the Alivastian Council. He also holds others to the same standard he holds himself when he's out at formal events, and does not tolerate shenanigans whilst out and about.

He does have a less chivalrous side however, notably having a very seriously vengeful streak when it comes to the Silver King, and is very clearly emotionally affected by the events of Valithea's invasion by Eltmur. It's implied that in his youth he had a much more reckless, party-friendly personality that he has long since overcome and he harbors no small amount of shame over things he did over this time period.

Remy has a very close rider-ridee relationship with his gryphon named Volosacro, Volo for short. Before mounting for a ride or another significant event, Remy partakes in a small personal ritual where the two knock beaks and forelimbs.

He is a knight of the Raven Guard and technically holds a Lordship in Valithea. He rarely uses his noble titles, though. As his situation has worsened, Remy has begun to cling more to his ideal of honor and uses it as a guide for his actions and to justify himself to his enemies.

Relationships

Avery

Avery is a good and close friend of Remy, both being experienced Gryphon Riders and long time comrades. When Remy first came to Alivast, he was looking for a way to assist the city and keep refugees from the Alton Region safe since he wasn't able to join the Alivast army at that time. His search led him to Avery and her family's griffons. She taught him how to ride and together they formed the Griffon Riders as a way to help protect Alivast despite not being an official part of the army. Though Remy has bonded with his gryphon, Volo is still property of Avery's family. When Remy is suspended from service, Avery suggests he serves the army by finding other gryphons that she and her family can train to increase the amount of gryphon riders and combat the increased threat of the Fire Giants' peryton allies.

Avery and Remy seems to have a knack for getting into trouble for doing "Joy Rides" on their gryphons at unapproved hours. Remy is fiercely protective of Avery and on multiple occasions warns Panic about toying with her emotions.

Winter

Remy fan art by @ProtoZer0man

Remy is a friend to Winter. Remy explained that about six months ago, that he, Avery and Gregory found Winter face down in the woods, and soon after she joined the Gryphon Rider ranks, displaying an innate talent and enjoyment of gryphon riding. Winter was emotionally distraught over the recent attacks by the Dragon Cult, causing her to take off from camp. Remy is fairly concerned for her and hopes she'll return soon. When Edward Enrobso offered to prioritize Remy's military review in exchange for helping him unite the native Orc Clans, he refused and requested he use his resources to locate Winter instead.

Gregory

Remy tolerates Gregory, though after an accident on Gryphon back and a misplaced sword slash, the relationship might be a bit more complicated. Remy apologized for the incident and Gregory seems to have accepted the apology, albeit grudgingly.

Balfor Balton

Remy fan art by @Boo_Rad13y

Remy shows Captain Balton the utmost respect, despite the commander's jovial behaviour. When the captain approached him drunk after the ball, he invited Remy to stay with him and Aila. He told Remy he'd be "like [his] dad," causing the slightly drunk bird to tear up. Despite offers to sleep at The Sweet Dragon, Remy had to accompany Balfor as that was his military duty.

That respect took a serious hit after his suspension, as Balton did not suspend him in person in order to keep up appearances as the "good cop" among the ranks.

Greckles

Remy's intereactions with Greckles involved a lot of good-natured taunting. When bidding farewell to the Unexpectables, he gave Greckles a (literal) peck on the cheek after telling Panic to go easy with his seductive nature, saying, "...Leave some for the rest of us, especially this one." This may have been another bit of friendly teasing, or it may have been legitimate affection. He left the scene without further explanation. At the Silver King's ball, Remy taught Greckles how to waltz so he could dance with Solly. However, after that dance concluded Greckles offered a dance to Remy as well, who excitedly obliged. However, this elicited some teasing from Panic. Greckles did invite Remy out to have lunch with him. After an emotionally taxing day, Remy learned that Greckles had stolen an entire bowl of punch from the ball's snack table. She says he shouldn't be surprised anymore, but is anyway. He bid Greckles a polite farewell because he was too emotionally confused to attempt the same exit as last they parted.

Greckles accompanied Remy when he went to say good-bye to Volo at the beginning of his suspension. Remy greatly appreciated the company and Greckles provided a literal shoulder to cry on when the knight broke down over his loss of his treasured mount and the grief over his loss of honor.

Remy offered to be taken as prisoner by the United Clergy of Orun in exchange for Greckles' safety. When Greckles was thrown overboard, he shed a single tear for his friend Remy, likely believing he'd never see him again.

When Remy reunited with Greckles after believing he and the rest of the party were dead, he immediately ran up to him and embraced him, giving him a tap on the beak. Greckles poetically repeated the single tear as well. After their emotional reunion, Remy gave similar shows of affection to the rest of the Unexpectables. Despite the heartwarming experience, Greckles almost immediately began antagonizing Audrey after recognizing her as one of the Clerics from the ramming vessel. Remy did not allow Greckles' accusations to continue and defended Audrey in a clash that is uncharacteristic of their friendship.

Panic

Remy is legitimately concerned Panic's flirting might cause emotional pain to Avery should he toy with her too much. When he met up with Panic at the ball, he was informed that Panic had improved in that regard. Remy praised Panic for his progress, but he later decided his congratulations were premature. After loudly booing the Silver King and causing everybody in his midst to panic, Remy parted by rescinding his statement, telling Panic he was the same as before. Despite butting heads, Remy offered to be taken prisoner in hopes the United Clergy of Orun wouldn't hurt him.

Task

Remy helps provide Task some perspective when the party learns about Azra Sahar's history. Remy notes that both kobolds have lost a lot and it made both of them angry individuals who had difficulty adjusting to new surroundings, and how they had much more in common than different. Task took his words to heart. Remy considers Task to be a good man, despite his occasional emotional outburst. Remy sacrificed his freedom to the United Clergy of Orun to try to save Task from them

Family

Corbeau Family Crest

Corbeau Family Crest, Official Art by Mark Clifton

Remy's family lives in the city of Alivast, in the Middle District to the best of his knowledge. His immediate family consists of is mother Olivia and his two siblings, Aria and Lucio who is a blacksmith. Remy's father was a nobleman who was captain of Valithea's Raven Knights, an order that guarded the King. His family escaped from Valithea when it was conquered by Eltmur. During his time in the city, Remy has been staying with his family.

The Silver King

Despite effectively saving Valithea from the armies of Eltmur, Remy harbors resentment towards the Silver King. He claims that if the Silver King were truly the righteous savior people see him as, he would have intervened and stopped Eltmur's royals a long time ago, not when it became to big to ignore. Part of this resentment seems to stem from the death of Remy's father, who gave his life protecting innocent people in a battle that could have been prevented had the Silver King acted sooner. Remy also expressed suspicion at the Silver King's true motives with Brorc Bronze-Fang at the Silver King's ball, who replied saying the council was practicing caution with their negotiations. His resentment was tested quite viciously when it was revealed that, around the time Valithea was being invaded, the Silver King had been in a deep slumber, and was only awoken by the Eltmur Royal family attempting to assassinate him.

Remy fan art by @Dark E Arts

Remy fan art by @Dark_E_Arts

Remy took some time to reevaluate his feelings about the Silver King and has concluded that his true motives are not benevolence. Remy believes the Silver King is too foolish and arrogant as he couldn't sense any foul play in Eltmur until it was pointed out to him by a "prince". He fails to see any heroism in the Silver King's revenge and doesn't grasp why he took the throne if he was unaware of what needed to change in Eltmur. He also discovered that the Silver King was on the hunt for someone, believing it to be his true reason for coming to Alivast; not to negotiate matters surrounding the Dragon Cult. Remy believes the Silver King is only out for himself, and if his machinations happen to help others, that's simply a plus. Remy has identified that Willow is the person the dragon was searching for and has some theories as to why, but they are unconfirmed. He theorizes that the reason why Alivast's proposal of Solly as a bride was rejected may be because the Silver King hopes to marry Willow, for presently unknown reasons. Remy hopes the Silver King is acting with good intentions, but he doesn't count on it and thinks his actions are concerning and unbecoming. He also believes it's possible for them to outsmart the Silver King; if Eltmur could do it, so can they.

Remy finally got an answer to his question atop the peak of Everbright Mountain. It turned out the Silver King never really wanted to rule Eltmur and was only doing so because the person he intended to put on the throne had flown the coop. Remy took a lead role in the negotiations to have him return Willow. During these discussions, Remy made liberal use of the dragon's real name, Swarrow, which was revealed by Willow. He also brought attention to his position as a self-appointed king and played to the dragon's hatred of chains and slavery. These tactics, while risky, managed to bring negotiations to a peaceful conclusion. Remy has let the Silver King know that he intends on discussing matters further at a later date.

In a moment of weakness, Remy finally and tearfully admitted to Greckles in private that he desperately wanted to slay the Silver King.

When Remy met the Silver King at the Sweet Dragon before he left for Eltmur, he appologized to him. The dragon displayed deep shame then apologized for the ways he wronged Remy and for his monstrous action of usurping Eltmur's throne. For the first time, the two were able to see eye-to-eye, admitting their faults and finding sympathy for each other. Swarrow explained to Remy that he's over 20,000 years old and that he believes he should have died a long time ago, mentioning a mortal he loved who died to free him from his chains when he was young. Remy told the Silver King that he should find something new to be passionate about and fight for, genuinely advising the ancient dragon to do what is best for himself and his well being.

Helga

"You and I are in a den of idiots, you need this. Please, drink the whole thing." ~ Helga offering Remy a stiff drink

When Remy met Helga he was in gaping-beaked awe at meeting the woman who had killed a fire giant with her bare hands. He treated her with courtesy and respect. Helga stoically reciprocated the respect by thanking him for the army's actions to protect Tendelheim's citizens during the evacuation. Helga's respect for Remy has continued and she treats him as the only other "adult" in the room at least in comparison to The Unexpectables. She does not envy his role as the voice of reason for the group and even feels some pity for him, offering him alcohol to help soothe the headaches associated with riding herd over others.

Solly

Solly and Remy never spoke directly but along with Brorc were the captive audience to Balfor's gushing love letter to Aila. Remy only realized who she was when he was about to leave and told her that she has friends looking for her. Despite Brorc's attempt to usher the gryphon rider out of the room and prevent further contact, Remy was able to discretely toss her a feather given to him by Greckles and in a wordless exchange let her know that the Unexpectables were alive. While at the ball, Brorc instructed Remy to keep an eye on Solly for him, mentioning that he should go get him if Solly showed him a piece of red cloth. Remy also helped teach Greckles how to waltz so he could dance with Solly. Remy did embarrass himself once when he thought Solly's last name was "Andris" and referred to her as "Lady Andris" rather than the singular name Solliandris.

Log

Remy has met Log 'off camera' when he was travelling south from Alivast with the trebuchets for the army. No formal recounting of their meeting exists, but during an art stream EdBoscoVA and MontyGlu improved a scene where Remy was bewildered by the curious construct who gave him a hand-drawn pamphlet about Oreyara. This dubiously canonical exchange can be viewed here.

Borky

After being dismissed from escorting the Silver King during the Winter Festival, Borky convinced Remy to join him in the annual sled race. Borky and Remy initially displayed shallow and misguided strategy alongside dubious potential for teamwork, but the two managed to outlast the other racers and place first in the race together. Later, Remy tried to save Borky's life by offering himself as a prisoner to the United Clergy of Orun.

Willow

Remy's relationship with Willow has changed as he has learned more about her. When he first met her, he was angry and reacted with sarcasm when she spoke positively of the Silver King. He regretted this and sought to make amends and apologize, but never got the chance to speak to her again until much later. He did as the Unexpectables to relay his appologies as part of a letter he wrote to them. The revelation of her past on the top of Everbright Mountain made him realize she holds a lot of clues to questions he's struggled with, and he doesn't like the answers. He bears her no ill will, and if anything respects her even more. He felt comfortable enough to talk to her about arranged marriages, prompting her to ask if he was subject to one - he said no, but didn't explain why the subject came up. He speaks to her formally out of habit even though it is not necessary because she is nothing more than a simple wizard.

During the long winter he made a point to spend time with her and heard her expressions of guilt and shame over what she had done in Eltmur. He did his best to console her even though he was still sorting out his own feelings on the matter. He was angry with Willow at first, but seeing her shame and regret rise to the surface, he has resolved himself to console rather than criticize. He feels a bond with her as they share the bond of a noble upbringing and being from the Alton region. He has decided to forgive her.

During his time with her they also discussed magic and he helped her develop the Catapult spell from a source the party had recovered in some old ruins.

Brorc

Remy spent time during the winter break trying to gather information on Brorc Bronze-Fang. He was incredibly unsuccessful. His motivations for doing so are presently unclear, though they most likely have something to do with the political dealings that got Remy his suspension.

Edward Enrobso

When he was brought into Edward's collection in the Shadow Realm, Remy was able to intuit the nature of Edward's planar magic and caught a glimpse of Edward's pitch black eyes; a physical signal of Edward's pact with his patron. Edward attempted to offer Remy and expedited military review in exchange for his help in allying the Orc Clans with the city against the United Clergy of Orun, he refused, instead requesting that Edward help locate Winter stating her safety is more important to him than his former military position. He also mentioned to Edward that he refused to be "blackmailed by another noble."

Arlo

Remy is very concerned about Arlo's attitude and how it could lead to hurting people if left unchecked. He percieves Arlo as having pent up anger issues despite him and his family insisting that there is no anger and that he is simply an asshole. Remy challenged Arlo to about in the Sweet Dragon's Fight Pit as a method of gauging the young dragon's strength and personality. The battle went poorly for Remy, who was barely conscious after taking a blast of Arlo's ice breath. His attempts to pass wisdom onto the silver dragon were disregarded, as Remy is not one of the people he has been ordered to obey.

Kiwi

At first, Remy paid Kiwi little mind, simply expressing concern and confusing over his relationship with Greckles, or as Kiwi believes him, "Fletch." However, Remy's relationship with Kiwi changed dramatically when Kiwi rescued him from the United Clergy of Orun, and also from "torture" from Audrey. Despite owing his life to Kiwi, he has not refrained from criticizing his criminal and violent tendencies, such as knocking Audrey out and threatening her into healing his own broken body. Remy has gone as far as to threaten Kiwi with dismemberment if he continues to perform such acts.

Audrey

After being taken hostage by the United Clergy, Remy was held below the deck, where he attempted to talk to Audrey and convince her to abandon the Clergy and help him escape. Audrey was to set in her beliefs to continue helping a "heretic" and believed that the clergy would keep her alive as he was more useful to them than he was. Later, during the night, Audrey came to Remy with an apple and water, questioning herself as to why she simply can't do what she's told. Before Remy could help her explore these thoughts, Kiwi sneaked up behind her and knocked her out with a frying pan, as he misinterpreted her act of goodwill. Remy insisted that they bring Audrey with them into the woods. In the forest, Remy collapsed from his injuries and Kiwi threatened Audrey to heal him with her own knife. Remy forced Kiwi to stand down and let Audrey decide on her own to heal him, and she did. Remy tried to connect to Ashley, asking her what she wanted and encouraging her to act on her own needs as a person. Audrey explained she simply wants the United Clergy to leave Alivast, as she doesn't believe they should be there. However, she explained that the clergy told her they're trying to rid the world of a blight left by a calamity, and that it might be the end of all things if they fail. After Audrey decided to analyze and learn of this danger before attempting to destroy it, the dysfunctional trio was found by her paladin, who by her own admission is a terrible person. Before he could take action, he was stabbed through the back of the head by orcs from The Blood of Gnash, who took Audrey and the others to Gruul Hellhorn. After their first day of work at the camp, Audrey witnessed Gruul and Rey battle in he Grouse. When given the option to pick between the two combatants to mate with, Audrey dropped her food and walked away. During their time at the camp together, Remy tried at every opportunity he had to get a moment alone with Audrey, which was very difficult considering Gruul refused to let her out of arm's reach most of the time. He was also shamed for attempting to follow her after being rejected at the Grouse; a cultural faux pas, even though all he wanted was the chance to talk to her. After discussing their battle tactics to against the United Clergy, Audrey expressed an internal conflict over selling out everybody she knew to people with the intent to kill them. Remy told her he'd try to allow as many to live as possible, but Audrey expressed to Remy all the things she felt was wrong with the Clergy as someone who grew up within it. She also expressed disappointment in herself for having compassion for people the Clergy deems as lower and commented that her situation has completely reversed. Remy reassured Audrey that her compassion is a virtue and that she's one of the better people opposing the Clergy. He also pointed out that if Orun saw her actions as against his will he wouldn't have allowed her to keep her magic, to which Audrey explained she noticed that and was wondering why that was the case. Remy promised to protect Audrey and give her the time she needs to figure things out. From the beginning of her uneasy alliance with Remy and Gruul, Audrey expressed a desire to show mercy to the Clergy; driving away from land and only killing who they absolutely had to. Remy promised Audrey that he would do his best to make is so, up to the point where he got into a fight with Gruul over his tactics. Ultimately, Audrey's plan was respected and a large number of the enemy left the battlefield alive.

Leonel

After being moved from the ship to the stocks, Remy was interrogated by Leonel, who was inquiring about the location and status of Hellina. Remy told Leonel that Hellina was still alive, and that she wasn't kidnapped, despite what the Clergy had told him. Remy intentionally withheld enough information to ensure Leonel's continued interest in his survival.

United Clergy of Orun

When Remy offered himself as a prisoner to the clergy in exchange for his friends' lives, the leader immediately took up Remy's deal only to toss their end of the bargain overboard. After being taken to their island base, Remy was tied to a post where he was humiliated, stones, beaten, and refused food and drink unless he signed a letter intended for potential clergy allies to the south. Remy refused to take any actions that would give the clergy and upper hand.

Gruul Hellhorn and The Blood of Gnash

Remy, Kiwi, and Audrey were taken hostage by orcs from The Blood of Gnash during their retreat. Though they ambushed and hogtied the trio of fugitives, they guaranteed better treatment than the United Clergy would give provided they not try to escape. Remy didn't hesitate to refute their threatening language with threats of his own, an act that endeared him to some orcs who found his attitude admirable. When brought before Gruul Hellhorn, Remy operated negotiations as he would with other leaders and attempted to explain his predicament as well as possible. Remy was locked in a cell with food and water and after Shugah, the tribe's shaman, determined he was not a polymorphed creature, he was given work cleaning the auroch stables, as well as an arrangement with Gruul to exchange questions for questions. When his first day of work was finished, Remy was taken from the stables to the Grouse, where he was given dinner and the chance to partake in the tribal tradition of competing for mates. Though Remy was uninterested in that aspect of the competition, he figured it was a good opportunity to size up Gruul and assert his own strength. Though he lost the fight, he headbutted Gruul in the process, a move Gruul pointed out nobody had ever attempted against him. After this, Remy and Gruul developed a bizarre, somewhat hostile respect that's occasionally punctuated with heartfelt moments and antagonistic spats. Curiously, Gruul is convinced that Remy and Audrey would make a good couple and enjoys seeing them engage in positive interactions. Gruul has gone so far to talk up Remy to Audrey.

While planning their attack against the clergy's camp, Remy expressed a desire to fight their leader one on one, believing that if he could strike down Athtar in an honorable duel, his army would flee. Gruul snapped at Remy, firm in his belief that Athtar would never agree to those conditions and that Remy would be setting himself up for failure and death. Agitated, Remy struck Gruul who retaliated by lifting and choking Remy. After letting go, he told Remy that he had broken clan law and that consequences would be in order. After taking time to cool down and apologize, Gruul decided these consequences would be to once again pitch Audrey to Remy as a potential mate, which Remy again declined. This conversation led to the Grouse and Gruul's repeated rejection by the women in his clan. Gruul explained that because Tanarukk have the potential to become violent and hateful, he understood why he hasn't been chosen. Remy then questioned how that's any different from any other child born under any other circumstance, a realization that Gruul had seemingly never had. After this conversation, Gruul decided he trusted Remy enough to show him his collection of bottles he'd amassed over the years. He explained to Remy that he appreciated the craftsmanship of the glass, but found the drink inside to be less than satisfactory. Remy promised to show Gruul some Valithean drinks that would be more to his liking (aka intended for consumption), and the two left again in sound alliance.
