Deuce Traveler's Last Stand of the Dorinthians

[Deuce Traveler]

Do you have a preference for the title of your thread? I have a few, but maybe the others can chip in.

Ray of Sunshine?
The Glass is Half Empty?
Fear and Loathing in New Dorinth?
Barok's Prophecies of Doom?

Too bad you won't go to Tallione, though, since I think Barok and the Emperor would have had a lot more in common than many of the other NPCs that the rogue has met.

That's a good one

Maybe, but just because Barok is an evil bastard doesn't mean he necessarily likes other evil bastards.

 

[Deuce Traveler]

Actually, I was thinking of the two more as morally ambiguous.

How about "Last Stand of the Dorinthians- Desperate Times"?

Last minute preparations? I'm sending Dartis and Caramip towards Tallione if there are no objections, and Silas and Barok back into the city to find the dark priest. Please keep in mind that both groups will be weaker (so no more ogre-mage battles), although each will have arcane spellcasting and brawn working for them. I'll do my best to have both groups reunite for the final few conflicts.

Well, it isn't Silas' goal to stay separated from Dartis and Caramip. If he and Barok find some answers then he'll decide where those answers will do the most good and hopefully then follow after. But at this point it's just speculation because I'm expecting you'll spring some surprises on us, DT.

I was considerign giving Barok and Silas a day, then if they don't return burning down the town. That would require Bloodweaver and I to sit on the sidelines for a bit so I don't want to make that call on my own.

We can burn down the town on our own if we don't find anything useful, Barok is still carrying all that oil . But I think it will take longer than a day to infiltrate the church of Festios and burning down the town would definately harm our chances.

[sblock=DT]
I don't entirely rule out the possibility that Barok will be genuinely converted by Nefius. If he doesn't truly believe in some of the thesis' of faith he'll never be credible in the eyes of the priest. And he believes (even if I don't because of meta-game thinking) that there's quite a big chance that the disease cannot be cured and that he and the rest of humanity better learn to live with it as best they are able. Barok is not a wise man and he can fall to temptation.
But even if he does fall he'll still try to advance the cause of humanity in general and Dorinthia in particular (and himself most of all ).

So should Caramip and Dartis head to the Evil Empire and leave the town burning to Silas and Barok or should the Caramip and Dartis wait a day or two and then burn down the town?

Either one works for me.

[GlassEye]

Well, waiting a day or two game time could be months of real time, depending on how things go. I say you should leave the town to Barok and Silas and go ahead on to the Tallione.

 

[Bloodweaver1]

You have a good point.
Onward to liberate the City of Evil!!!
Whoot!
