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

[The_Universe]

The army of the bluestar fighting the "army of the bluestar?"

Also, as I mentioned above, could you post the resource list for common consumption?

If AB goes to fight on the island can we get him to agree to bring the blades back to us or to Jaine first before sending them off to old blue?

You'd have to ask him, but based on the previous blade discussion, that's not likely. That's not to say he can't be convinved in one way or another, but he probably won't be real fond of the idea, initially.

Do we have a plan for if we do get 1 or 2 or 4 blades what we are doing with them?
-hiding them
-giving them to the bluestar
-run around with them
-dig a really deep hole and hope they are forgotten
-forge dublicates of the actual spirit blades (hide one set run around with the others let them thing we are that stupid and egotistical) or just forge 'em then plant them. If dorn and/or preston can describe the 2 blades on the island at all we could even just switch those.....

The fake blades idea is an interesting one, but it would at best be a short term con. With so many spells/items/abilities capable of positively and definitely identifying the blades, and the fact that they seem to react to each other, it would take some creative lying to pass off an otherwise mundane blade as a spiritblade, no matter how much it physically resembled it... But as they say in movies: it might just be crazy enough to work.

Resources

Here's the list. Check it twice.

 

[Laurel]

The treasure is:
17000 GP
22 Gems - 10,310 GP
+3 Defending, Shock, Flaming Burst, Ghost Touch Quarterstaff.
Ring of Evasion
Wand of Bull's Strength (30 Charges)

now we get that ring

The Quarterstaff is a monk special weapon, so Kareth can use it without all the normal penalties. And it would give him another weapon, though his mighty fists are doing awesome!
So to Kareth?

 

[Xath]

There have also been arguements as to giving the quarterstaff to Jansten or Archonus.

It also is worth 257200gp. (sell value = 154320)

Anyone making claims on the ring of evasion? If not, Xath'll use it, but I'll give others first dibs.

ring away Xath! L'aurel has already paid for this, a few days ago..... great timing huh

Arguements?.... Jansten you could ask, but I'm not sure 1) if he would anything other then his sword and 2) if he has the TWF

 

[Laurel]

Okay so with L'Aurel out healing arrows and I assume reserving spells for other things can we get another wand o' healin'? Or is/are people carrying any? Just didn't see 'em in the inventory.

Planning? Never...

Okay, I'm going to present a case for why we need to go to Caer Albion, ASAP for the purposes of the rebellion. The reasons are relatively simple:

We show the flag, as it were. A quick response shows that we're plugged in and we know what's going on around the continent and are interested in it, beyond our little corner and furthermore, are willing and able to respond. The presence of two spiritblades is an added bonus, but by no means should be our only or necessarily primary objective (in terms of what will have the maximum positive affect for the rebellion; as I understand it, the blades are ultimately a small, though important aspect of it. It's also likely that it comes down to some sort of Tain/Bluestar Spiritblade showdown once all of them have been collected by the various sides).

If we go after the blades on the Isle of Mourning, we remain (or appear as) a local factor, something that Tain can contain in the Oceanus region (or Prydein, which is the name of the island, IIRC) and therefore no real threat to the draconids and not much use to anyone else interested in standing up to the Forces of Darkness tm.

Appearing in and having an effect on events in Tain's capital city also shows that we are not powerless. Whatever we do (given some element of success, of course) can be seen as weakness on our opponent's part, as he cannot even keep a pesky band of rebels from acting in his own capital. Whether we get one or both spiritblades or not, a visible action by us doing something (defending the city, killing bad guys, evacuating people, whatever) will be more important than the substance. Remember, we don't have to win a military action to achieve success. Recall the North Vietnamese Tet Offensive...a complete military defeat, but ultimately an important step on their road to victory.

As for the meeting with the Janstenites...well, we have a rebellion to run and that needs to be our first priority, especially with events moving as they have. We have an opportunity in Caer Albion and missing that boat could hurt us more than any negative effects on negotiations with that faction. Indeed, success in our Caer Albion endeavor might put us on better ground for negotiations.

Anyway, just a few thoughts.

Should that spell come into being, I think it needs the world specific title of "Archon's Cop Out"
