Discussion for a Kingdom of ashes OOC II

Oh yeah--

Kaereth can train some monks. You're not a real charismatic teacher, but you have a few students. No more than a dozen, I'd say. (those numbers will come out of the people who can be trained for other stuff)

Fair enough, but once they're trained, there's nothing preventing them from serving with the militia (where I think they'd be most suitable), correct?

Nothing whatsoever. As you increase in level, you'll probably even gain more students: only time will tell, though.

3) A combination wall of packed earth on the bottom, and wood on top would have 150 HP per section, be 20 feet high, and cost 250800, total. For all intents and purposes, you'd take an average of the DR, rounding up, which would be 4. A decent wall.

4) by increasing the price to 301000, you could get a combo packed earth/wood wall with DR 4 and 210 HP/section. 30 feet high.

****

In general, you need the wall to control access to the camp--packed earth can do that, at least in part. However, adding a wooden wall would be a great idea. The Duke is going to pursue option 3 (barring your objections), assuming he can utilize some of his connections to acquire some funds, even as a loan. What do you guys think?

I think that this is, by far, our best option. It is just a matter of finding the means with which to do so...

Gertie-- would you mind emailing out our list of goods? ... or at least emailing it to me so that I can take a look at what all we have at our disposal?

Thanks!

General Request...

I would appreciate it if y'all could avoid the yellow font on the message boards... my eyes are sensitive and it gives me a bad bad headache..

Thank you!

The above are just my/The Duke's ideas, and should not be taken as final in any way, shape or form. I'll let you guys deal with the speech in more detail on your own.

As far as I know, the plan is still to start with playing Jaine's arrival (triumphant or otherwise), and then go from there. If you want to stage a mission into Oceanus first, we'll play that first--I just need to know what's up.

I think that Jaine's arrival ought to be triumphant-- think, parade in Aladin...

...with the big elephant and everything...​

And, because I think that, I believe it would be best to wait until when we have everyone together to play out that part of the game... seems to me that everyone should be here for the grand arrival.

This might be difficult to do, depending on when next we can play with the complete gang.

Are you doing this first, or making your foray into Oceanus first? If Oceanus is first, do you have a plan? Get to making it!

I think for Jaine issue- get her into New Oceanus and let her talk to the Orc guard Korienne and Duke so we get the king's guards there on our side completely. Then we do a big parade/speech/what not, but we can still protect Jaine, have the support of everyone, and get a great party moral booster! The people don't need to see her arrive, but I do agree that there needs to be something big to say 'Here she is our Queen! yeah!'

If for some reason we need to do an arrival parade, then I suggest maybe we get her to New Oceanus, have her talk to people, make an announcement our 'Queen is coming in the morning.' Then get her out of city right before hand and THEN have grand entrance with everyone having time to prepare streamers and flower petals or whatever people were invisioning here.

As for everyone being there, I know we have tried not too, but if it is a speech and straight forward, we could just say all were there standing around at the very least- like with the funerals.

Resources

If any of you were expecting the bag to have some pricy magical items, let me remind you: We sold most of what we consider to be "expendible" before going on our shopping spree.

Gold and things worth gold: 36147gp

If we sell all of our wands (which I highly object to) we could make at most 60% of 38950. I think the wands are more useful in their current forms, than as money fodder.

Potions, scrolls, and rings wouldn't give us enough gold to sneeze at, aside from the fact that we use them too often to sell.

We have a masterwork steel drake, a short sword, and a buckler +1. These are worth at most 60% of their listed price.

The item that would fetch the most money is the Rod of Rulership, sellable at 60% of 60000gp. However, it's a very useful item, and who do we trust enough to sell it to.

We also have the folding boat. I would say this is also too useful to sell because we're on a friggen island for crying out loud. It would sell for a max of 60% of 7200.

Infiltration of Oceanus

If Oceanus is first, do you have a plan? Get to making it!

As for the foray into Oceanus, I personally would opt for the first to happen within the first few weeks. Since the militia will not be ready, it is us and maybe a few others. But L'aurel wouldn't want to send people into a suicide mission not having/or been willing to go herself. Hopefully, like Jeremiah said, an easy pop-in and out: save some elves, get some coin, get some info., get out.

I think at last plan- team sneak goes in, have some way for communication, When/if trouble hits mages poof back-up in, or poof others out.

I would add maybe we want a diversion?? Also to Universe, if we go into Oceanus in say begining of week two or three- what are the defenses then? I am not sure how fast they would be able to make repairs to docks, get space cleared, and so on.
