[QUOTE="Rackhir, post: 3272561, member: 149"] The problem with keeping the key was that it was clear we couldn't protect it (it was stolen twice). We couldn't leave it behind (we had to be within x miles of it every 24 hrs or so) making it a royal pain in the #$##@ on that score. Then nobody else in Sharn was powerful enough to make a good guardian for it (at least that Nameless was willing to trust with it). Finally, with the things we did and the places we went, it was too dangerous to risk it falling into the hands of the things we went up against, like it did when Nameless was captured by in Yakun'Dral. Which quite concievably could have been nearly as bad as what the Rakshasa's were up to. Nameless in particular knew (though nobody else did) that a similar shard was at least partially responsible for the Day of Mourning, so he was loath to risk anything like that happening again if he could prevent it. The Gatekeepers seemed like our best options as they were the only people we knew who were actually more powerful than we were and whom we (or at least Nameless) could trust with something like that. Also both Luna and Six have severe allergic reactions to anything that restricts them or imposes any responsibilities on them. Being the "most powerful characters in Sharn" in Shil's campaign isn't all it's cracked up to be. As we've had demonstrated twice recently, it gives us only at best a slight edge. The listing in the Rogue's Gallery thread for the halfling boomerang guys for example, doesn't really give you a good idea of how nasty they were in combat and how close they came to taking down Korm, Luna and Gareth, without them even getting a chance to act. The Casters have somewhat more of an edge since their level means that we can access higher level spells than almost of the other casters in the city. Shil has it pretty much right at least with regards to Nameless. He has no Big Plans, past a desire to transcend (Ie, hit 10th in Alienist and become an outsider). Actually, he has one other ambition. To become powerful enough to safely walk the streets of Sharn. I'm currently estimating this will require him to make it well into Epic levels to pull that off though... [/QUOTE]
