OOC Kingdom of Ashes IV - Who's yo' daddy?

[The_Universe]

Commune only lasts 1 round per level, and you can ask 1 question per round. It's a very fast paced spell. You don't get a specific amount of questions, you get a time. So we can't pause to flip through the questions while the spell is being cast.

So instead of a list, why don't we make a tree? Prioritize the questions and then lay them out so that if question one is yes, we ask such and such question; if it's no, we ask other such and such question.

Question trees are awesome. But, I would encourage you to ask these questions electronically so as to allow the DM to be properly cryptic with his five word answers. As soon as you have the first question decided upon, let me know.

I wanna play tomorrow- 6pm. Come on you don't need more then a few hours to prepare!
And next week sounds even better... start at 1pm go till midnight. WE can eat at applebee's... oh wait two players are getting married and the rest are supposedly showing up

Okay future weekends for Kat and Greg:
Oct. 30/31- out
Nov. 6/7- out (Wedding)
Nov. 13/14- out (Just getting back into town Sunday)
Nov. 20/21- open? so far as I can tell it's open and we are in town

You're not serious, are you (about tonight)?

No it was a joke...

So my computer at work hates the menu bar (w/ smiles, bold, script, etc.) GRRRR!

 

[Laurel]

Tree very good idea Gertie!

So the three main branches:
Jaine's Pregnancy

Caer Albion

Island of Mourning

At day AD+16 we should concentrate on the last two branches, but it doesn't hurt to start thinking of ones for Jaine's Pregnancy if they pop into our heads.

Girls do need to talk to Jaine, and the group needs to talk to AB about a couple of things. Do we want to take care of that in-session, or electronically? If you're leery of going all the way to the Bluestar, Cawys may be another source of information on the subject in general, if not the oath in particular.

I'm waiting for a unified set of speak with dead and commune questions.

For the girls trying to talk with Jaine-- I would guess this could be done electronically. But Liz? Gertie?
I am taking next Monday off from life, so will have access to MSN during the day... not sure about work schedules or classes or what not though, since that seems to be the preferred way at times and for group chats.
E-mail always works for me though

Group things unless someone (not me) gets a definite no or I don't care we have to wait for Jansten/Greg... unless Jansten just isn't a part of it....

So far as doing things electronically... Mondays and Thursday don't work unless they are after 6.00pm. I am in class literally all day... so, if that's the means we prefer, has to be after I get home. That also kind of rules out email for me...

So, if we're going to do it electronically, we should probably try to do it over email on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Friday.

Keep in mind that if the deity has the knowledge to provide a yes or no answer, they do... unless the yes or no answer would be contrary to the deity's interest... and, at that point, the deity gives the cryptic 5 word answers.

From the SRD:

The answers given are correct within the limits of the entity’s knowledge. “Unclear” is a legitimate answer, because powerful beings of the Outer Planes are not necessarily omniscient. In cases where a one-word answer would be misleading or contrary to the deity’s interests, a short phrase (five words or less) may be given as an answer instead.

Actually can we shoot for evening on Monday... Gertie, Kennon?
Tuesday I start to have family in town, so I will have no idea if or when I could have access to anything but my cell till November 15th.

I'm flexible. I don't anticipate it taking very long, so whenever is fine with me. If you want to go with more static questions, you can just do it here at any time, and then pay to cast it again for follow up questions. But, if you do it that way, you need to come up with a static list. Apart from that, I can set aside an hour or whatever on monday night.

 

[Laurel]

Very, Very basic: not in any particular order, but for the if n(if no) or if y(if yes).... just put in what I think we had already posted as possible questions. Three headings, but that doesn't mean all have to be explored nor should on this go around. If we have left over questions though rather then wasting anything might as well have other options lined up, and get a handle on what else we are trying to figure out.

Caer Albion-How large is the draconid army around and in Caer Albion?
-Who is in charge of Caer Albion now?
-Was there deceit from within the city?
--if y-Do the traitors still pretend to be on our side?
-What secrets hold them there?
--Does Caer Albion hold the secret of Tiamat?
--Does Caer Albion hold knowledge of Mordred or his tomb?
-Does the draconid army seek any spirit blades in Caer Albion?
-Are Dark Senders Blade and Drake’s Blade spirit blades still in Caer Albion?
--if y-Is Dark Senders Blade still in the armoury?
--if y-Is Drake’s Blade still with Mordred’s scull in Caer Albion?
--if n-Who holds Drake’s Blade now?
--if n-Who holds Dark Sender’s Blade now?
-Is Ahrianna Blackadder in Oceanus?
--if n-Is Ahrianna Blackadder in Caer Albion?
--if n-Is Ahrianna Blackadder on or around the Isle of Mourning?
