I then I can take yoshi making sure he is not taken to the dark side...

If, indeed, the king were to change our status, we'd know. He knows where our base is and any information such as that is bound to make it our way pretty quickly.

Not necessarily. The king isn't likely to send you a letter informing you of your change in status. The only way you'd get an inkling is when more bounty hunters showed up to try to capture/kill you. Furthermore, the King's not stupid. He may hire someone specifically, rather than just kick up the rewards on the posters.

At some point in the future--probably not any time too soon-- it would be nice to go people watch/gather information about the goings on in the world. We are pretty cut off. But, any *big* info, I'm sure that we'll get through Jaine's connections with the outside world.
Additionally, we did just meet up with an army of dwarves that may have some information that we desire-- they are a secluded people, in general but, I'm sure they can tell us something we don't already know about current events.

Maybe, but perhaps not a lot. You can't depend on a people that have been focused on YOUR conflict to have had a lot of time and inclination to observe other conflicts, record, and report. The Dwarves will know what was happening in THEIR city. Beyond that, any information they'll have will more than likely be kinda sparse.

I do note that the king's not stupid... however, if something had changed about our status with the king, I think that particular information would find it's way back to us.
We can't exactly get any *more* wanted... and, if the king say, revoked the wanted-ness of us, I figure that we would, eventually find out. That seems to be information he would *want* us to have.

If, indeed, he were to hire someone specifically I doubt that we are going to get that information by visiting random city watches or listening to the hustle and bustle in the streets. If the king has hired someone specifically, we'd probably need to get that information from the king himself or one of his closests buddies... unfortunately (in at least some ways) we have a tendency to kill them or they are not very forthcoming with information.

Maybe, but perhaps not a lot. You can't depend on a people that have been focused on YOUR conflict to have had a lot of time and inclination to observe other conflicts, record, and report. The Dwarves will know what was happening in THEIR city. Beyond that, any information they'll have will more than likely be kinda sparse.

I don't expect them to know a lot-- but, the same can be said for pretty much every villiage and town we could potentially visit. They will know about their town and their goings-on... which is another reason that I don't think we need to worry about teleporting out to gather info any time in the near future.

Okay on finding out about our wantedness- yes, we are wanted, does it matter how much we are worth? Concidering we just had this huge battle under the direction of a Queen Jaine I don't think the king's going to be lifting the bounty on us anytime soon.

We will be going to other cities, big cities, most likely in the near future (possibly). We can ask the monks her at the monostary what they have heard about us, and get a little bit that way. I know it won't be much, and could even just be 'your wanted' but we have not even tried asking them. We could ask them about us specifically, Jaine, and anyone else.

Yes, our wantedness may be something interesting to find out, but personally, I don't see this as something that really affects what we should be doing or where we are to go next.

If someone has strong feelings on why we should be gaining this knowledge right now- please explain. I could very easily be missing something.
Otherwise, good idea gertie and if we manage it cool we get the info, but not worth a side trip.

To be fair, I'm just not sure it's worth a side trip right now. Once you're back in Hyrwl, it may be worth it to take a few days and scout out these places.

It's not like this will be resource intensive, or anything.

 

[Laurel]

um... that's why I said:

If someone has strong feelings on why we should be gaining this knowledge right now- please explain.

And though it may not tax resources it does tax time, I just would like if we do this we combine it with some other reason for being in that city. We teleport to silvanus gather the info, and get a spiritblade or some such. Just teleporting to a random city and back out seems... I don't know... time consuming, wasteful of magic.

And just so I am clear here the idea of gathering this info. is worth merit, just right this second not what we should run off and do.

I agree totally.

blades, blades

Going for the blade?
What we know (not all inclusive): There are tunnels under the city. The ones under the monastary and the ones under the library do not appear to be connected.
The stone gem that Xath now wears sparkled brighter in the library, and it acts like a hot/cold seeker of the magic blades. So the blade is closer to/in the library. So we have to get back into the library, thus we have to get by/through the mages. Correct?

Was a plan ever furthered on getting rid of the mages?
Last I heard as possibility: Someone posses as Selura, Penny (with help) makes a forged document with a false prophesy on it (+30 something before rolling). Gives that to mages to take some place to someone(?) while we as her 'charmed' servants remain there protecting her/helping her/etc.????.....????......?????....

If Fairweather is going to Hyrwl and she wants company Archonus would go with her but she'll have to go talk with him. He's trying to avoid the circle as of late.

It's pretty hard to avoid the circle when they can read your mind.
