Message: <blockquote data-quote="The_Universe" data-source="post: 1627016" data-attributes="member: 8944">Seeeeeecrets!OK--since the thread appears to be dead (or dying) as we gird our real minds and fictional bodies for the great upcoming battle, I have a question for the future.   Before we get bent out of shape of getting ahead of ourselves, I'm not asking for concrete decisions.   But I do want to get a general feel of what you want.  If you should happen to win this battle, you'll be very near reaching your goal of freeing Oceanus.  If you should happen to lose, there will likely be so few of the original populace left that there will be no point in attempting to win back the city, at all.  As such, start thinking (and posting about the following:   Where do you want to see the campaign go, after this battle is fought?  When I ask "where" I mean that in a literal sense (ie, we want to go to Caer Albion!  We want to go to Sylvannus!  We want to go back to Thanesport!) and in a more general sense--what tone do we (you?) want the game to take on after this (We want more diplomacy--embroil us in the political intrigue of the fast-collapsing falcon kingdom! We want to assassinate the king!  We want more allies, let's get down to the business of gathering a real army!  Let's search for some spirit blades!)? How will the outcome of this battle effect the direction of the campaign?  What if we win, but Jaine dies?What if we lose and Jaine dies?What if we lose but Jaine lives?What if we win and the Black Orcs live, too?What if we win, and all that's left are Black Orcs?What if L'Aurel dies?Archon?Justice?Xath?Kaereth?Arfin?   I am happy to answer questions from you on all counts, as I can try to characterize how I envision each mini-quest ending up, what movies or books you could compare it to, how long it would last, etc.   As I have noted before, I was essentially blindsided by the "Let's free Oceanus!" thing, and I would like to be a little bit better prepared, this time.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />   All of the above are just quick notes on my part--there are a great many more options than the ones we've listed above. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> So, get thinking, and please post your thoughts.  Now's not the time to horde in-character secrets (regarding heritage, teachers, emperors, and a host of other things you're still keeping private), especially if you want to have an effect on the direction of the campaign in the near future. So, let's get this stuff in the open air (ooc, at least) and make sure that we're all happy with what the game ahead will bring.</blockquote>
