Discussion for a Kingdom of ashes OOC II

On Oaths

The Oath of Alliance, as I have said, is a great idea. The oath of whatever to Justice is less so. I REALLY LIKE that you have chosen a nominal leader, but if you're going to swear an oath other than the oath of alliance (and individual oaths of friendship), I'd swear an oath to either Jaine (as Queen), or L'Aurel (as Baroness). I suppose you could do both. Justice would still be the leader of 'The Circle of the Phoenix' but the group would have extra loyalty to a rightful ruler of one sort, or another.

Whaddya think?

Some Cool Beans

A magical item that would be really good for us to have.

Since we want to get rings that distinguish us as the circle of the phoenix.

Rings of the Circle of the Phoenix- Mithril rings with a phoenix carved about its circumference, Rings of the Circle of the Phoenix grant the wearers the Permanent effects of Rary's Telepathic Bond. They come only in pairs, however, more pairs can be added to the bond.

Cost: 15000gp per pair

Yes, they're pricy, but I think they're worth it. It's like having a silent mind telephone between all of us. It would be really good for L'Aurel and Archonis to have in Oceanus so that they could communicate without sound. They would also be able to communicate with us while inside.


Also, we have wands of Knock and Detect Secret Doors. Do either L'Aurel or Archon have use magic device?

Why not just enchant beans? The title of the post got my attention...you could put them in your ears...

Hilarious.

Telepathic Rings...

Justice has asked Arfin to craft the rings. She is waiting for his response...

At this point-- we cannot afford to have the magical telepathy as a part of the rings. (60000 gp for the whole lot) We have other responsibilities right now-- obligations-- like Seaborne's boat and the rest of the money we owe him.

However, after the Oath of Alliance, we have the ability to know eachother's Status and other stuff like that-- these abilities, though not as powerful as telepathy, serve similar purposes and will have to make due until we can affor them rings.

I think it is a great idea, though-- something that we will hopefully be able to get in the very near future!

"4. If a permanent settlement is to be made here, we must know more about the resources of the area. Send out cartographers and scouts to determine sources for food, water, resources, etc. We also need to determine key danger areas, locate them and prepare appropriate defenses. "

During the five weeks Archon has spent time in the surrounding area with L'Aurel and Greylock and the two of us should be able to deliver information about the area in an informed manner.

try so scry. i hope it works, it'd save us unnessesary risk. but if it doesn't, Archon is more then willing to infiltrate Oceanus.

anyway, it's good to hear plans forming.

Scrying is tried. And fails. There is shield of some sort. The palace is blocked, but the city itself is open to scrying--making the entire thing blocked would be far too costly.

So, besides the palace, where else do you look?

As for the scouting, I need a spot and search check from both of you.

Scrying

I'd reccomend scrying at the Tower of the Red, Apectan Cathedral, Army Barracks, City Watch, Amastacian Temple, and Navy Base, as well as various locations along the docks.

I'd reccomend scrying at the Tower of the Red, Apectan Cathedral, Army Barracks, City Watch, Amastacian Temple, and Navy Base, as well as various locations along the docks.

From my scouting on Thane, I know that the Red Tower is in ruins-- there's nothing going on in there...

However, I don't exactly remember what else I saw... DM, can you give me a refresher??

 

[Archon]

Archon goes to the Zoo

looks like a field trip.
the rings are a good idea, but until we can afford the actual enchantment, L'Aurel and Archon can work out a sort of sign language to use in the field. As far as use magic device goes....Archon is 75 xp from gaining a level and i plan i gaining ranks in Use Magic Device. so, yes, Archon would be able to use the scrolls, as long as the Universe concurs.
Kennon, i sent you an electronic letter that contains the results of my various rolls.

You can't afford the magical rings yet, but I bet you could get someone to cast the spell on you...duration is less, but it'd still be handy.

 

[Queen_Dopplepopolis]

Justice never gets to go to the zoo!!

I want to see the pandas!!!

Panda Attack!
