One Knight Stand - King Arthur x Among Us Apocalyptic Road Trip (WIP 815k, Patreon 900k)(UPDATE 07/04/24 + 200k - A Perfectly Normal Rest Stop)

if someone is having problem with increasing some main stat’s i have list of choices which increase what stat and how much so can give information, generally i will say that these is not needed because most stat increasing choices are mandatory like jobs(one job is better then all others stat wise :slightly_smiling_face:) but there are some very bizarre expectation. just don’t tell these to dev so he dose not take it away i like them :rofl:

also stat are not everything and most checks aren’t that hard

I was playing it as usual, on Opera, maybe my internet connection had a hiccup? I never noticed any failures elsewhere, though (I never do just one thing at a time when I’m online). Good news is I’ve been playing since the first release and this never happened before.

This is the public version of the game on the oneknightstand.co website, right? Not the Patreon or Itch.io version? Is it still happening now? Also, try clearing your browser’s cache. It might be caused by the browser using an old version of the file instead of the updated file on the website.

Is it alright to talk about theories here? :thinking: I have a few about Adrian but I know some devs don’t like public theorizing in case of spoilers.

Loved the update! It’s been a while since I had so much fun reading an IF and I really like the inclusion of options to be more silent (and the fact that Adrian can be so used to MC doing random things by now that it doesn’t even surprise him anymore lol)

Hopping onto this nearly a year later because I believe I have some evidence to support at least part of this theory :smirk:

I’m still deadset on my “Adrian is Lancelot” theory for reasons I’ll state, but the idea of him being Asher (or at least related) has what is imo a HUGE damning piece of evidence behind it.

Unhinged Rambling

His fucking name.

No, really. Not only do I think Adrian’s name is a huge hint to his secret, I think (almost) everyone’s names reveal huge parts of their characters that we don’t know yet. I might make another post about this (I’m just worried it’d be a little unfair to theorize so heavily on characters we still haven’t even met lol), but I’m like 99% positive the names were all chosen for a reason.

First with the easiest. Adrian’s first name means “Son of Adria” and originated from the word adur which… literally fucking means water. Who does that remind you of huh? HUH??? When you battle Lancelot in the Camelot flashback as well, he throws you a wooden training sword that the narrative goes out of its way to describe as being similar to a bastard sword. In the milestone drabble about Adrian, it’s revealed that his signature weapon is going to be a bastard sword.

Eventually, he’s awakened by a high-pitched scream. Unconsciously, without thought, he leaped out of the bed, his arm automatically reaching for the bastard sword tucked within easy reach against the nearby wall.

Furthermore, I think even on a simple narrative level, it just makes sense. Lancelot takes up a lot of the spotlight in the Camelot flashback in Chapter 2. Your choices in that chapter basically boil down to whether you want to hang out with Arthur, Merlin, or Lancelot. I think this is a writing move that makes the most sense when it complements the major characters that we know so far. After all, Lancelot isn’t an RO, it doesn’t make much sense for him to have his own flirt stats unless he’s a much bigger character. Being one of the reincarnated Harbingers and arguably one of our closest modern companions makes the most sense.

But that’s enough about Lancelot. Adrian’s last name, Benoni, is derivative of the character Benjamin’s birth name in the Book of Genesis.

According to the Hebrew Bible, Benjamin’s name arose when Jacob deliberately changed the name “Benoni”, the original name of Benjamin, since Benoni was an allusion to Rachel’s dying just after she had given birth, as it means “son of my pain”.

This already ties in very well to the themes of self-hate and regret in Adrian’s character. There was obviously something in his past that makes him think of himself as being unworthy of love and deserving of the punishment this apocalypse has brought on him. But more than that…

Reuben (half brother)
Simeon (half brother)
Levi (half brother)
Judah (half brother)
Dan (half brother)
Naphtali (half brother)
Gad (half brother)
Asher (half brother)
Issachar (half brother)
Zebulun (half brother)

…Huh. One of these names looks remarkably familiar…

The Biblical Asher is almost comical in how antithetical his character is to Benjamin. Contrary to one being named for his mother’s unending grief, the other was named for his mother’s pure joy.

At his birth Leah exclaimed, “Happy am I! for the daughters will call me happy: so she called his name Asher”, meaning “happy”

And on that note, the CEO’s name is Abe. Or, maybe even more specifically, Abraham? With Adrian’s relationship to Catholicism, I’m hard-pressed to believe these details are completely accidental. Whether Adrian is Asher under a new name, or Asher is actually a brother of Adrian’s, the two are undeniably connected.

Plus, in Merlin’s own words:

If the soul remains willing and developments are dire enough to warrant it, it’s quite possible to reincarnate in a shorter span of time under certain circumstances. Generally not a recommended option, as such a soul is rarely properly ‘cleansed’ of its previous karma that way and suffers imbalances because of it.

Isn’t there a certain migraine-sufferer in our group that tends to have his flares during very, very specific moments in the narrative?

Oooh i wanna play, i think your right and wrong on Adrian’s identity. I think dear author likes angst and adrians identity will be based off the mc’s. Its all spoilers from here

Summary

So personal theory is Adrian is either lancelot or galahad or even an oc knight. Regarding mc, i think mc will end up being either an oc knight, gwen or mordred.

Reasons for the mc being G or M first the conversation with kay in the dream, where Kay said at least one of you knows your responsibilities in regards to your relationship with Arthur.

Second Lancelot is uncomfortable sparing against the mc in the dream. Why? He could be facing the queen, in certain stories of Arthur, gwen is called the queen of may and a skilled warrior and swordswoman. If you have lucid dreaming you can kick lancelots ass. If you watch the sparing you take your rightful place at the head of the crowd so not just a noble a high ranking noble.

After the sparing both lancelot and the Marshall defer to the mc which puts the mc as higher rank then either of them.

Also if you lose to lancelot he catches the mc and holds their waist sparking a comment from the other knights.

Lastly spending time with Arthur, you can touch Excalibur Arthur is weary but lets the mc. Second Arthur isnt offended by a touchy feely mc or one that looks at him inappropriately.

Also Arthur comments that mc should chose what they want not what duty says which works for both gwen and mord, while the comment about the mc should have been a squire could work for mord and an oc knight.

Lastly a scene that could point to A being lancelot. I think maybe the author removed it with the update however. But if you finished the apartments with no possession and high relationship with A he made a comment about something changing with how the mc feels about him and why now and how he’ll work harder to prove himself worthy this time. I could be misremembering parts of that scene but yeh general gist.

That might be unhinged delusional ramblings but its a theory

how to win

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EXPANDING ON MY THEORY!!! Especially making it research based compared to my intuition based ramblings, seriously I can’t thank you enough.

In other note has it really been almost a year? The passage of time yet frights me so.

Adding to the theory, Adrian seems to also have a complicated reaction ib regards to Galahad. If you chose to bring up Galahad as your potential reincarnation, his reaction’s a bit more surprised compared to all other options.

This could mean that:
A. He’s Galahad, nuff said.
B. He’s Lancelot

Considering that Galahad is Lancelot’s son, and he’s supposed to be the upgrade to Lancelot, better in everyway, especially in chastity and purity, its understandable if he have a complicated relationship and reaction to Galahad.

even more ramblings

More evidence:

  1. Adrian’s relatioship with religion
    Since we know he’s abit iffy with catholicism, we can infer that
    A: he’s Lancelot feeling guilty.
    B: he’s galahad, having doubts.

  2. MC and Adrian’s relationship
    Its known that Adrian definitely know who MC’s past incarnation is and deliberately seeks them out. Its also heavily implied that the past incarnation’s relationship is romantic in nafure. Since we know Galahad is all things chaste, it doesn’t really make any sense for him to have a romantic interest, which leaves Lancelot more likely to be his past incarnation instead. It also makes more sense why Adrian is so opposed to the idea of MC being Galahad’s reincarnation, since… you know Galahad is his son and all. That would put a wrench on this whole relationship (Although, I find it kinda ironic if the MC turns out to be Elaine of Corbenic. But like… I get it.)

Honestly the only thing supporting my theory of Adrian being Galahad is my intuition and the fact that Lancelot seems to be a bit too obvious.

Anyway, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk and sorry for the formatting, I’m frantically writing this during Lunch break.

[/quote]

Summary

Person of interest, may I introduce you to ser Percival? One of the three knights to find the holy grail, willingly died for no reason and depending on the story is thought to have had a romanticrelationship with galahad. He’s also uncounted for, also adrian has a weird reaction to a few knights, gwen, mord and percival are the ones i can think of.

Also regarding adrian being lancelot, if you do the fencing club and strike down all whatshisfaces sword pieces adrian is just as surprised as everyone else by the mc. If galahad is lancelot 2.0 mc is better then galahad which could point to an oc knight or gwen or even mord or percy as all are supposed to be really skilled, with mord being Arthur 2.0 to galahad being lancelot 2.0 both probably have daddy and mommy issue tbh
