OOC Discussion for Kingdom of Ashes (Leaving Queens, Breaking Swords, & Snake Chicks)

[The_Universe]

So the decision has been/was made?

I was unaware of this.

I e-mailed everyone yesterday. Did everybody get that? Xath decided to support the deal. Check your junkmail folders, in case my gmail account got shunted there!

After we've done that, I think we should take a trip to One Oak... however, that can all be done over the boards or MSN if absolutely necessary. I guess there could be combat... but, I pray there isn't.

Unless people just decide to leave others out we have to wait till game time to do this or whatever our next course of action is-- We are a group we do it as a group, and everyone should be able to have input.

EDIT:As Kennon's e-mail stated we should start the next game still standing as we were the agreement just having been made.

 

[Laurel]

One thing we can't just ignore right now is that we've just created a schism within the party. We'll need to resolve that one way or another before we can make the next phase of plan.

Agreed.

Mansblade, as Promised

Attached is the picture of the blade Archonus Bluestar brought with him.

As of this moment, I plan to start the next session with Xath stepping over "the line." However, I encourge you guys to discuss IC or OOC as much as possible between then and now, so that we don't just have a rehash of the negotiations when we play, next. We've already devoted a couple of hours to it - let's not get bogged down in it.

The one exception I will claim to the above plan is if it becomes apparent that it will be a long time before we play - at that point, I'll encourage you to take discussions to the IC thread, e-mail, or messenger, so that the game isn't perpetually stuck in Caer Melyn, with everybody staring at each other over the sword.

Another idea -

For those of you interested in trying to free Gyan Thunderheart, you could always just attack him. Re-deadification is the first step in de-zombification. If he remains undead, he's no worse off than he was before. If he really dies and his soul is released, then he's in dwarf heaven, and there's no one to take the sword north, based on the deal as it stands at the moment. Something would have to change, although there's no telling what that change might entail...

Of course, all of that assumes that you have the capability of overcoming a legendary dwarven warrior without the aid of any spells....

Question for you Kennon. As Archon Bluestar tossed down the mansblade, did the amulet sparkle more brightly?

 

[Xath]

Also, taking a note from William T. Riker's book...

Does Archon have a middle name? It'd be nice if we could call one of the split persons Archonus, and one of them something else...much less confusing.

Yes. Brighter than when it's in the presence of only one blade, but not exploding with light, since you're not as close as you were when you were in the dungeon.

Good question - I was wondering if any of you would pick up on that.

EDIT: In short (in case I wasn't clear) as far as the amulet is concerned, it is a spirit blade.

In text, I suggest that we refer to them as AA (Archonus Arendorr) and AB (Archonus Bluestar). Middle names are not common in KoA - most people just have a given name and surname.

In-game, I think it may just have to be confusing unless one of them arbitrarily changes his name.
