Chapter 12: The Enemy
Pippin was released from the glamour of the Captain’s Hat when Nicole told Sir Barchus that she was a Thanacross official. Pippin told Sir Barchus that he could arrest him for cooperation in security fraud on a major transport route, but that the Knight should just let him go and spare them both the trouble, as Pippin’s royal seal was monitored by the Court Wizard (a lie) and the Crown would send soldiers after Thanacross if he was killed. Sir Barchus agreed, but upon the conversation being interrupted by Mika, whose shots caused Sir Barchus to drop his Screaming Sword, Pippin lead a charge against the murderous Knight, eventually decapitating him and taking his sword for himself. Jack later found him and convinced him to come back to the bar with him so Ben could deliver a forged letter from the Crown demanding Thanacross cease their repressive action, but Nicole found him and re convinced him of his charge to escort her, upon which he left with her to go train with Wagner in the forest.
