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

[Queen_Dopplepopolis]

For the record, totally OOC, I think the best option would be taking the infant adventuring. The scenes the rush through my head when I think about it are awesome. I mean, picture Archon fighting with a baby in one hand! How cool is that!?

No. No. No.

 

[Queen_Dopplepopolis]

No. No. No.

If you think Justice's breast plate is going to make hiding hard... just wait until there is a BABY.

BAD IDEA. (see my sig... yeah. It's the truth).

 

[Archon]

Obi Wan Arendorr?

huh. interesting idea. although probably not likely at this point.

EDIT: Liz just reminded me that as long as Archon stays lawful, he can take his child's pain, thus rendering the infant effectively invincible!

And let Xath die in a single round of combat?! Not a good idea!!!

 

[The_Universe]

Obi Wan Arendorr?

I actually think it would be more like Bail Organa...but the idea is essentially the same.

And let Xath die in a single round of combat?! Not a good idea!!!

She would have to get better at staying out of melee range, yes.

If you think Justice's breast plate is going to make hiding hard... just wait until there is a BABY.

BAD IDEA. (see my sig... yeah. It's the truth).

Anyway, I'm not saying that baby-adventuring is PRACTICAL, I'm just saying it would be interesting, and would allow of you to show a side of your characters that have heretofore gone unseen.

A side of Justice that she wants to go unseen. She is motherly enough without having a baby around.

I think adventuring with a baby would be good for KoA the sitcom. In normal circumstances though...

Step 2, everybody join in!

Well, the worst case scenario if AB was king and bound to the bluestar would be the Bluestar's legal claim to having the falcon kingdom in his pocket. True, this possibility may bring him over to our side with more support, but I don't think we're freeing this kingdom from one evil just to put it under the dominion of another.

I agree. The salient question then becomes: is one these evils greater or lesser than the other? If they are not exactly equivalent, you'd be better off choosing whichever will do the least damage, assuming damage is unavoidable. What does Tain want? What does the Bluestar?

The best case scenario if AB is still under Big B's control is...if the Bluestar decides he doesn't want to be evil anymore and goes on a permanent second honeymoon on another plane leaving us to mind our own business. I'm not saying AB would make a bad king of his own volition, I'm just saying having him under the control of the bluestar makes our mission seem a bit hypocritical.

A bit, but it may be unavoidable. That's why you have to ask these questions, and come up with answers. In the absence of desirable circumstance, you are left to choose the only the least undesirable.

Since none of the oath-releasing stuff is really bad, at all, I won't comment.

Just think Willow, but less retarded....(Yes, I am grasping at straws)

With a kid, all that motherliness would be justified! Think of it! :\

While, if our goal was simply to defend the child, there would be no safer place than the circle, I agree. But the circle willingly throws themselves into reckless situations time after time. Adding a baby to the mix gives us one more thing to worry about in the middle of a combat situation. Can Archon grapple with a baby on his back? That's got to be dangerous. Not to mention the attacks that take the pain doesn't work against. I can't imagine that infants have super high fort saves. Also, even if the mark is magical, the baby won't have a high enough con to absorb that many spell levels without leaking out fire.

....leaking out fire....what are the stat's on using a baby as a ranged ray weapon?
