even if they are corrupt, we can be very....persuasive. Especially Archon when it comes to people of ill morals.Xath said:You're assuming that the leaders of these organizations are not corrupt.
By then, it will be too late to save the blades on the Isle of Mourning... so, the benefits we recieve if we win Caer Albion are great... that has been long established... but, if we do not strike up a deal with the Bluestar the Isle of Mourning is, for the most part, out of the questionXath said:even if they are corrupt, we can be very....persuasive.

Right - there's only one way to have your cake and eat it, too. If you don't go with ol' Blue, you're giving up at least one sure thing for a mountain of maybes.Queen_Dopplepopolis said:By then, it will be too late to save the blades on the Isle of Mourning... so, the benefits we recieve if we win Caer Albion are great... that has been long established... but, if we do not strike up a deal with the Bluestar the Isle of Mourning is, for the most part, out of the question
And remember that threats of bodily harm only function for a limited time after people leave your sight. Diplomacy, on the other hand, can be forever. Sad as it may seem, unless you're only dealign with people for a matter of hours, you're better off dealing with the corrupt and evil, rather than threatening them so long as they have something you want or need.Archon said:even if they are corrupt, we can be very....persuasive.

That's true. But this has already been decided pages and pages ago - you're going to try to help Caer Albion. The relevent question has now become 1) How can you do it, and 2) How can you simultaneously achieve all of the myriad other things you need to do?Archon said:If we can save Caer Albion we might be able to persuade the Talons, the Apectan church AND some of the kings generals (and thus their soldiers) to our side.
That would not only weaken the kings forces but bolster our own.
