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

[Queen_Dopplepopolis]

An interesting idea. But someone would have to take one of the gates to him. Suggestions?

Can we "Send" him messages and set up a conference of some sort-- I'm sure that Big Blue can find a Ring Gate.

there is also always our favorite guy in a robe Caweys. We may be able to deduce that he could get one and get it there pretty easily... he may even know a better way....?

Please don't tell me we're trying to further entrench ourselves in relations with the bluestar. He's not Tain Hawkson, but remember, he is one of the most powerful Evils known in the world right now. The more distance we keep between us, the better.

We just partially allied ourselves with him.....and we gave him a blade.... we have one of his underlings in the camp with us (Whatever else AB has been seen as leading the forces of the bluestar)

why should we not get info from him?
I don't think we should be walking in and out of his home in the North, but even advisaries can talk. And the only way to get answers will be to ask them.
If you want to know how he will destroy the blades, ask him.
If you want to know how cold it is up there, ask him.
If you want to know if Gawyn got safely home, ask him.

But Ring Gates only operate in pairs - it's not enough to have one. You have to have 2 that were created together.

I don't think the current conversation is about ingratiating yourselves with the Bluestar any more than you already have. It's just about gathering some information - something that may require you to actually talk to him.

Evil, though he may be, he does have more knowledge than we do by a million billion times. Simply banking on "well, we know we need to have all of the spiritblades together" seems very unwise... we need all the information we can possibly gather if we are to make a solid plan.

So-- after speaking with Mik-- actually talking to Old Blue is going to be a very difficult thing... IC, both Xath and Archonus are going to resist...

Personally, I think there's no harm in simply talking and attempting to gain some info... but, it may cause too much of an issue (especially with Archonus) to try to talk to him.

This thread is here for working out the OOC issues, and coming to consensus - it's worthwhile to identify possible difficulties, but hardly beneficiary to just say "it's going to be hard" and then not try to work it out.

So, discuss! That's what it's here for! Make your case(s).

OOC thoughts and discussion

Talking to the bluestar does not ally ourselves with him, giving him the sword did.

Talking to him could get us answers on what his plan of attack against the west is, what he knows of the blades, how he plans to destroy them, if he plan to transfer his soul, if his soul is actually in the one we have, how many swords he has already, what cities he controls already, what is happening in the North, what he knows of Tains plans, and it could give Jaine, our Queen, a chance to do/ask..... whatever she may need to.

Though Arhconus Bluestar is great to have around as we have seen he does not hold all answers the Bluestar may have and in some cases he is just not forthcoming on info.

Talking to him through the gates can and should be a private meeting, maybe Jaine there but no more. I don't think any of us want to become his best friend, or even his friend, or see him living for longer then necessary. I also don't advocate trusting all or any of what he tells us as absolute.

The general populus seems to be severly removed from what is going on with our poofing in and out, running around for days, making deals, dying and coming back and such, unless Jaine is posting to a newspaper. It may have gotten out about the sword and people maybe asking questions about AB.

One should know as much and everything possible about what they are up against or may be up against in the future. As much fun as running blindly around has been, we have done better with goals and knowing in advance what we are up against.... that whole ability to prepare and fight on our terms instead of someone else's is nice. We don't have to be completely blind, and should use what resources we have. The possibility of the bluestar's willingness to talk is an opportunity to have that knowledge.
