[Maidhc O Casain]

An Audience w/ the QUeen

"You are the first I've ever encountered who was so strongly Daoine deBith who also had enough of the Laoch to awaken. But much of this is new territory."

Gavril

Gavril is somewhat out of character in asking eminently practical questions. "I would know a little more about this bond. Can the compulsion be used over distance or only when you can talk to us? I would also like a list of those you know to be CéaDaoine. If something were to happen to you our lives would depend on us finding another. Do you get anything from the bond other than our service?"

"I guess I am a bit confused, how can you know if we posses either bloodline by merely looking at us?"

An Audience with the Queen

Gavril is somewhat out of character in asking eminently practical questions. "I would know a little more about this bond. Can the compulsion be used over distance or only when you can talk to us? I would also like a list of those you know to be CéaDaoine. If something were to happen to you our lives would depend on us finding another. Do you get anything from the bond other than our service?"

Máthair answers your questions about the bond readily (see the PDF file for practical information).

"I have never tested the compulsion to see if it can be used over a distance - I've never actually used it all, though I can feel the ability to use it within me. I suppose in order to compel you I would have to be able to communicate with you in some way. If I were to send you a message, either written or spoken by a messenger, I believe I could embue the message with the power to compel you.

I don't actually know any specific CéaDaoine - I know they are there, and truly believe that it was one such who took your friend Deasaigh, but I don't know who they are. My studies indicate that there may be some who found a way to last through the millenia between the war with Cruthaigh, and that Cruthaigh himself may be somewhere out there waiting to be freed from wherever he locked himself away."

An Audience with the Queen

"I guess I am a bit confused, how can you know if we posses either bloodline by merely looking at us?"

Queen Máthair smiles gently at the diminutive gray man surrounded by black, nebulous shadow wings.

"I'm not sure how I know of your Laoch heritage, Skáth. I believe that it calls to the BreithRí in my own blood. I just recognize one who can be awakened when I see them. As to the other, I am certain that there are many who have Daoine deBith heritage that I do not recognize, but in some cases . . ."

Bear

Bear ponders the choice before him...

OOC: I'm torn between Bear's obvious choice and my, as a player, desire to be more than one dimensional.

So, I take it then that Bear's "obvious" choice is to refuse the bond? Why so obvious, if I may inquire? And, hey, there are worse things than being one-dimensional, like being twenty-dimensional but dead!

OOC:

Just the opposite, would be my guess. Béar was built originally as a straight up butt kicking warrior. His Disadvantages give him cause to wish to bond with the Queen, but now that Bill knows the system better and is more comfortable he wants to add a little complexity and depth to Béar. While this bonding costs no Character Points, it is intended primarily to improve physical prowess and 'toughness,' and would place Béar more firmly into that 'straight up fighter' mode.

Mike - Do I sense any nervousness in the queen? I am guessing no, but since I have a new toy...

[sblock=For Mike L]If you would care to roll the appropriate dice and find out . . .

I don't have your character sheet in front of me, and can't remember right off hand how many dice you have available. Just decide how strong you want to make the attempt and roll. I'll figure the target number, make her opposed roll, etc. when I get a few minutes.

I think it would be in character for Skáth to try to read the Queen, both as a way to find out her current emotional state, to 'test' her benevolence should she detect his reading, and out of pure mischieviousness.[/sblock]
