Heroes, Inc.: Aftermath

[Steve Gorak]

Kayla's body language changes a bit, no longer masking her sadness and desperation that plight of her people.

"Indeed you may. If you do, though, you certainly have a destiny out east. Some will fear you, to be certain, but such an anomaly does not happen without reason. If the spirits of the land chose to empower a male with Witchfire, they much have a very special purpose for you. If the Thayans are able to overrun Rasheman, the spirits themselves will be in danger. If they ARE the source of your power, and they are slain, you will lose it."

She moves closer to Murdoch, puts her hand on his arm, and looks him straight in the eye.

Come back with me. Convince the others to do so as well. Prove that it would be best if we challenged the twice dmned there, blocking their offensive, rather than blundering into a frontal assault on Cronos while the Thayans slaughter and enslave countless innocents. Besides, I know the land, and have the connections. We can find your destiny, together."

Murdoch takes her hand: "I will talk with my companions. This course of action may indeed be wiser". Meeting her eyes, he adds" Kayla, I want to help you, but these events superseed our individual wishes. We must make sure that our actions lead to victory, regardless or our personal desires."

He'll then go and discuss this with the others.

OCC1: Sense motive +22 on Kayla. Is there anything "fishy" about her? Does Murdoch get any "impression" about this situation from his dark foresight invocation?

OCC2: How cute is Kayla?

OCC3: Hawkeye, FYI, I used 25 points for Barnak's stats.

"I understand. That is the right thing. This will, however, be best for all of us."

Its hard for him to tell. He's good at ths stuff, but he presumes she is, too. THe foresight alarm bells don't go off.

OCC2: How cute is Kayla?

How shallow is Murdoch? (Answer ot both: Quite)

OCC3: Hawkeye, FYI, I used 25 points for Barnak's stats.

Up him to 28.

Hee. When Alethia does let it rip with Comet fall, make it a memorable experience. From the descriptions of it, that spell should be terrifying when used appropriately. IE: THE SKY IS FALLING!

Matt? Alethia is really close to being able to fill the requirements for the saint template. And I'd really like her to go for it, but it'd have to fit story wise I'd imagine. If you have any ideas on that, could you shoot me an email? Aenilan@aol.com.

Alrighty. But remember, given their resources and specialized abilities, some paths simply won't be feasible. And right now, I think the battle with Cronos is gonna hafta wait for a bit. From what I see, he's the uber BBEG right now and we need to go epic before we tangle with that fella.

The spell says that there is much uncertainty suorrunding both missions. You do not know where Cronos is exactly and know his force is formidible. Thay is also powerful, but turnign the tide of a war is a more streightforward goal, and since the Zulkir's are serving as field commanders, you may be able to capture someone who probably reports directly to the BBEGs. Of course, the Zulkir's are all Archmages in their own right, but you guys can take some of em. The Cronos mission could have a higher reutrn on your invetment, but its very risky and much less likely to be successful.

Alethia relaxes a little as she considers the new information her deity has provided her. "We need to take this to Timrin. It sounds like helping the Rashemi might be a better alternative than tackling Cronos directly. I'm not sure that we are as of yet ready for that battle."

You're probably right. This demon sounds like he is, at full strength, close to the power of an Abyssal Lord and those, even Arch Angels hesitate to confront directly. Right now, even weakened, he and his entourage are too powerful to confront head on, at least not as we are now. the demon agreed reluctantly.

She rises to her feet and heads off tell Timrin, once the demon cheerfully locates him.

 

[kirinke]

Bumpity bump bump. Is there a new game thread?

 

[kirinke]

Streaks through the thread, wondering whether or not to bump it up a notch.

 

[Hawkeye]

Soory, I have been dealing with the death of a friend. Not been a good week.

[kirinke]

Sorry to hear.
*Gives him a hug.

 

[DM_Matt]

If there are no objections, I will be posting a new thread tonight, in which you will arrive in Rasheman. Post objections or actions on the way, if any, in the mean time.
