[QUOTE="Manbearcat, post: 9255075, member: 6696971"] Alright. Back at it. Good stuff! Just going to throw some fiction out there. Lets try to make it as grabby as possible, as soon as possible and get to an initial conflict toward the end cited in your [B]Minor Quest[/B]: [I]Convince the Empress that by establishing a new political order in Bantouk (one with a counterbalancing Senate), she both frees herself from the need of an Imperial Council and removes any pretense for the Legion of Ruth to remain in Bantouk as an occupying force providing stability and safety for its citizenry.[/I] [HR][/HR] [I]They're called The Wardenguard. An esteemed member of both The Legion and the Empress' Guard escort Chanvati, Pa'avu and Bita-Bousseh everywhere around the ample wards of Bantouk...for their safety. Of course, everyone knows that is nonsense. Its for the safety of any dissidents making a foolish move against the clergy, the crown, and the occupying force primarily. Any body cleaved in twain by Pa'avu or otherwise maimed by Chanvati might become the fire that lights the fuse of outright rebellion. But even that is nonsense. If every dissident soul in Bantouk weren't already cowed by these inquisitions and executions, and they very much are, there still wouldn't be one foolish enough among them to take up arms against the very few that led the route of Caiphon's malign influence. No, Rietka and Yazdan are escorts positioned for surveillance far more than anything else. Both sides of this affair want ears and eyes in the inner circle of our heroes...an invisible leash not unlike the one tethering them from the Material World to the Astral Sea. "A proper execution makes my blood long for a sparring session set to the pound of aggressive drum." The Bladeling commander lovingly sharpens the curved blade across her lap. “Not you, Yazdan the Yellow,” she chides. Turning to Pa’avu, “what say we make a spectacle of the marketplace in your wretched city, half-giant?”[/I] [HR][/HR] You let me know when you feel like you’ve got the makings of a good obstacle to a conflict you can set a zoomed-in Goal to.
