[Exalted] Exalted Champloo

[Shalimar]

Does Romen like that Dragon Blood? I don't think the feeling will be mutual when he sees Romen at the table with 2 Anathema. Hrmm, Temari's a bit strapped for essence at the moment. Well on the brightside since the Wyldhunt knows we are here, and we are leaving anyway we can really go all out with everyone shining like the sun so that wont matter this time around.

Hopefully Temari is coming across as headstrong and a bit reckless, believing in her exalted power. Its kind of hard to be both reckless and calm at once and thats what I am shooting for.

Hmmph. The report of Alamar and Temari being Anathema is a just a pretext used by his family's rivals to remove the guide and scholar from his mother's Important Mission. Did you really think that the rant from nowhere he launched in public earlier had no purpose?
Unless someone panics and does something like shooting a DB in the face, then all they have is a report, possibly unreliable. There's still a chance to talk our way out, and most of us just agreed that fighting is a bad idea.

I kind of took it for granted that the Realm knew that Alamar was a Solar, he has been an Exalt for 10 years I think he said, andhas fought Dragon Bloods on at least 1 occasion, I just assumed that if they saw him they would know he was Anathema.

I must have missed the in public rant though, which version of the thread was it in? Pre or post reboot? I guess I was just pretty certain that they actually knew that Temari and Alamar were Exalted seeing as they even named their castes correctly. I can have her not fire if you want, I was just thinking that if they saw her, they would try and kill her and letting herself get surrounded is bad.

Edit, yea, now I remember the rant, but the fact that they know Temari's and Alamar's caste's plus the fact that they have actually run into and fought Dragon Bloods (who would be missed) together makes me think its more genuine then just having it based off of the improvised story.

Eep. So umm.... what are the odds that the guards haven't sealed off the side entrance before coming in the front? I'm not so sure a peaceful solution will cut it, at the very least I'd assume they would check out Temari's and Alamar's weapons, and underneath the wrappings they are pretty cleary artifacts. Not sure how they would feel about Death Lords with soulsteel weapons, but the orichalum would confirm the assumptions wouldn't it? I was just coming to the conclusion that letting them in close enough to talk it out would get them surrounded.

Maybe I'm just not familiar with social combat and the extent of what it can do. I jst figured that Dragon bloods would be much more resiliant to it then others, especially the wyld hunt.

Each situation is what you make of it.

Just how powerful can social combat be? I ask because I really don't have any clue about it, the rules just went over my head.

It's powerful if you keep in mind that you need to know when to cut your losses and change tactics to get around the willpower stuff

Edit: Also when you start shooting people in the face, you sort of leave out any other option to handle the situation except with more violence, just my thoughts

 

[Shalimar]

Well, she is stealthy enough to be ready without actually looking it I hope. I'll edit the action to not shoot and just be ready to shoot. I was just thinking that she isn't a very good melee fighter and being surrounded and out numbered too close to use her bow would be bad. I'll trust victim I guess.

Oh, you think it wise to trust the strategy the a guy with the screen name of Victim?
