OOC Discussion for A Kingdom of Ashes (The Battle of the Alder's Forest, and Beyond)

[Xath]

Both are important, and that fact is key. The longer we wait to save L'Aurel, the more difficult it will be to bring her back (if it is possible at all). However, as far as we know, the most dangerous beings left in the army are the Reptus. es, ae, i whatever.

Xath's principals have always told her that the good of the many superceeds the wants of the few. However, logic must kick in. How much good are we going to do on the walls? Does that effect counterbalance the oath and the circle?

Xath is torn, but right now, her instincts are telling her that someone has to be there for L'aurel. Someone has to go to Caer Maelyn to help her. Since it will require intricate negotiations, that narrows it down to Xath and Justice, and (as far as Xath is concerned) Justice isn't confident enough in whether or not she wants L'Aurel to be brought back. Justice is also having more of an impact on the battle.

However, I also realize that those 1000 Yuan-ti could have alot of fun meeting my 32 remaining fireballs. If Xath isn't one of those going to revive L'aurel, than she won't be resting. She still has 6 bardic musics left, many of her spells, 32 fireballs, a staff of healing, and her sword. The only thing really depleted is hero points. Whoop.

So basically that post says "Blah, blah, blah, as long as SOMEONE goes to Caer Maelyn, it's all good." and "Fireball"

appeasing as many

how bout this. Xath rests for 4 hours so she can take ALL of us to Caer Melyn.
Everyone else does what they want for four hours (Archonus will be fighting with the Shadows of the Phoenix) then we meet back up and take care of our downed ally.
by then most of the heavy fighting should be over with and we should be able to leave the rest in the hands of Frarithier and the others.

um.... oh, just remembered Farathier is now an NPC yep okay it's safe to leave

 

[Xath]

Also XP for the undead was 12350 for those that don't have it.

Xath and Arfin got 13375 from this encounter, just for info purposes. I think the two of us are now even at 88335xp once it all calculates in.

Also, I talked to Tim. He said he found his character sheet and should be giving it to Greg to bring on Saturday. Then we'll know what's going on there.

Great idea. You guys keep on fighting. I'll take a nap.

Out of character, I think this is a really good plan. In character, it's will take a little talking, but I think we can work it out.

Gertie knows that Justice is torn... and, more than that, Justice's overall feelings about ressurection magic are what is torn-- not the idea that she wants L'Aurel back or not. Of course she wants her back. All that is being tested is her opinion about ressurection.

Based on what characters can see in how Justice is acting, she desires, above all else, to get L'Aurel to the magic she requested.
The characters know that Justice does not trust that sort of magic-- but, it doesn't not dull her resolve to do what L'Aurel wants...
Justice is going to get L'Aurel where she needs to go and very little can stop her.

I agree that this could work--anybody got any ideas on how to justify it IC? If you think of something, post it on the IC thread.

I posted and should work easily for IC resolution... Unless someone has something better, or IC has a problem with what I put up..... Otherwise you guys just get to figure out once the battle is done how to get her back down
