Discussion for a Kingdom of ashes OOC II

[AIM-54]

i have a better idea where we're headed and it sounds good. and Jerimiah as for your SoP for the squad i think in general the human squad is less powerful and flexible. i see the Shadows as focusing more on Sneakery then strength. your take on seems like an elite footsoldier squad as iopposed to my less combat savy "sneak squad". i like that you took a different take on it but i think i like my cheesy "Eyes" and "Menders" better. if you want to open up a new thread to discuss this please do and just leave me a link here. that way we can go into more detail and debate this objectively.
take it easy folks.

Mik, got a thread started right here:

So, I'll just say, I had to go about it differently than you, otherwise it would have been a pointless exercise. But we can continue the debate, along with anyone else who wants in over there.

I guess if we are able to get out undetected we should have ample time to hide ship and get a few cannons to Hywrl/new oceanus.
If something goes wrong priority is getting as many cannons as possible to Hywrl/new oceanus?

I think priority one is still acquiring proof, not defenses. Being able to gather people to your cause it ultimately going to be a lot more beneficial than adding a few cannons to the arsenal. However, if you can do both, I see no problem with it.

Heads Up

Just FYI, while at work this evening I began to formulate a plan to achieve our goals in Oceanus. It is as yet about 5-7 pages and only about 1/3 of it is detailed out. So expect a large post from me tomorrow....or rather, later today. Now it's time for bed.

By the way, the more coherent the plan is, the earlier I wrote it.

I forgot

Also, this plan that I am posting is by no means something that I'm saying we HAVE to do. I was just bored at work. With no internet. Time for bed.

good morning amigos

look at me posting bright and early in the morning. for those of us that are leveling(which i think is all of us) is it cool if we take ranks in speak Draconic? i assume it's ok but i just wanted to make surey.

Taking ranks in Draconic is fine. I'm assuming that you found a couple more of the spies, and then made them teach you the language, rather than just burning through their heads with marks of justice.

As for how learning new languages works, 1 rank lets you either read it or speak it enough to get the gist of various statements--like passing high school draconic.

2 ranks lets you BOTH read and speak the language, same proficiency as above.

3 ranks gets you increasing fluency--as long as you never have to communicate particularly complicated ideas, you might be able to convince a draconid that you're one, too.

4 ranks gets you fluency with a TERRIBLE accent.

5 ranks is essentially a native speaker. You know how to ask what the best blood-wines are in Draconic.

Well, unless we are taking the city to the proof, the proof has to be brought to the city. After we say 'look proof yada, yada, yada', it is there in Hywrl/New Oceanus so why not use them there too? We will have some people/townsfolk seeing the ship taken from draconic army, but I thought we said we were taking something (whole ship or cannons-whatever group wants) back so the community can see it and it adds to our big movie like speech.
That's all I was claiming/saying/suggesting.

But Archonus seemed to be having fun with that

Hence, my statement that doing both was/is probably a good idea.

I am looking forward to seeing how it all works out.

The guy who normally coem up with the names is out today

Operation Queenie

1 –Archonus/L’Aurel/Kareth (?) track Jaine & Co.

2- When Jaine is found, they let Justice know (run back, use horses, mind meld, use Bob).

3- Justice comes on Thane carrying Xath.

4- Jaine gets on Thane with Justice and Jaine goes invisible

5- Xath turns into Jaine.

6- Justice takes Jaine to Link’s tree house

7- Justice takes still invisible Jaine into tree house into secure room. –maybe two go for protection??

8- Xath & Co. hopefully make it back with little resistance and go to Tree house –maybe ferried by Thane little quicker then walking. Everyone ends in the same room.

9- Let Jaine talk to Korienne, Duke, and Seaborn so we get them on our side completely. Make an announcement ‘our Queen is coming in the morning.' Then get her out of the city right before hand and THEN have grand entrance with everyone having time to prepare streamers and flower petals or whatever people were envisioning here.
