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

How will it cause trouble? They don't even know what they are really looking for, Selura never told them. They are looking through the library, not the tunnels. After we have the sword we can get out quick, or go for the switchy thing. According to legend should be in the tunnels we will be going through anyways.

There is a whole system of tunnels, and we just went through a direct path to get to the library.

Metagaming: There were secret doors we missed, this gives us a chance to go back through them if we need to get to the library.

Just thinking about the trouble that pretending to be Sulora to a bunch of Mages could cause.

At this point, they have got to suspect that we've done SOMETHING to her... after all, she left with us and never came back... so, getting back in is going to take some creative bluffing..

Initially, I thought that finding the switch would not include a trip to the library... as it turns out, the entrance to the tunnels where the switch is is probably in the library...

So, it really doesn't matter at all what we do first--like a said-- roll a die, flip a coin, whatever works... or maybe we don't want to flip the switch at all, for that matter...

It would be nice to take some of these Mages with us, somehow... but, if that is not possible, no big deal.

As an addition...

It would be nice to try to get information from the Red Mages... but, they don't seem to know much... our main source of information is dead and burned...

Hmm.. maybe we shouldn't have fired up that body so quick... *shrug*

Well, we had already asked him a lot so saying asking him to wait to burn her a few more minutes, then take the body and use magic on it... oh yeah he would really like us then.

Once we get the blade, we may be able to deal with the magic stuff and possible go after info. Primary concern should be the blade though.

If we need to use teleport and get the blade out of there we can.

The entrance thing is a surprise to me...

That particular slice of knowledge is a vague memory from when the heroes of the last game were turning OFF the switch...

I was there... but, my memory of what exactly happened is fuzzy.

Don't metagame it TOO hard. In order to make the assumption in character, you'd have to have at least some in-game explanation as to why you'd suspect that--which I don't think you have...

Anyway, from a realistic point of view, you know the following: 1) The sword is closer when you're in the library then when you're at the cathedral. 2) You don't have any idea where the 'switch' is, or even if it is really a switch. 3) Time is short.

Based on those three facts, where you go next should be easy to decide.

Not trying to metagame... you're the one that reminded me of the entire situation... thought you wanted me to pass along the information.

My apologies.

I think that my conversations/letters with Hyrwl will produce a more usable means to dispose of the mages, anyway.

 

[Laurel]

For the mages we could just send Penny- let her fall in love with another great catch, and then she talks them to death.... what do you mean it's not a good idea?

Metagame hint: unless you roll, or otherwise take care of them, the mages will cause trouble.

Non-metagame hint: as far as you are concerned, IC, the secret doors DO NOT EXIST, and you have no reason to assume that they do, particularly in those places.

Doors don't exist, check!

I am working on finding a way to get the mages out of our hair... it will probably be expensive, though...

Justice plans to teleport back to Hyrwl to get some information from Cawys and Randall in the near future...

Anyone that wants to come along is more than welcome... Justice would like at least one of the boys to come along to play bodygaurd to her while she converses with Cawys.
