OOC Kingdom of Ashes V - Brood city, baby!

[The_Universe]

It shouldn't be a big deal no matter what, and not something IC we need to know till it happens or gets used. Not the first time and most likely won't be the last a special power shows up at a crutial time, it's not something that people go around saying 'hey look what I can do'.

Exactly right.

Now, I know there's more stuff to talk about and/or decide. Let's get to it.

I will be out for most of the day. Wednesdays + Liz = Bad for boards.

However, I will say that a good starting point is what Kat posted earlier so far as our options of what to give/what to take and the like. Everyone needs to take a look at it in detail (attached) - it is an excellent starting point.

Print it out, read it, and make corrections that you feel necessary. I will be doing the same this afternoon during my classes and posting what I think needs to be altered/added/deleted.

One everyone has had their say in that, we work up our formal proposal to take North.

Is Janesten involved with this part? Or is the circle doign this then showing him the final, so he won't be surprised at what the pheonix kingdom is offering?

I think this is a great idea, particularly as it may allow the KoA plot to advance (at least a little) without letting members of the circle pull too far ahead of one another. Maybe we could set it up as a side game with less strict attendance requirements? Different characters?

If everyone is ok with this, just let me know who has the time and interest. What I don't want to do is have someone upset because they're being left out. So, let me know if you have a problem with it, or if you think it's a marvelous idea...and then secondarily if you want a piece of the action. I will note: if I am to run such a side game, there will be essentially no attendance rules. Play it when we have time, etc.

Let me know!

I am willing, but as I am normally one of the ones with time issues not likely that I will be able to play But it sounds cool, and could be a great plot/side adventure quest.
So long as everyone remembers which PC's knows what IC-- and Kennon can tell us later what was able to be passed on, or IC the charcter's can pass on after their adventure.
Gives fun to those not able to make it also
I know you said no attendance rules, but does that mean if just one person can play you will, or is it a two person rule (opposite our normal KOA rule)?

It's up to you guys. Include or exclude Jansten to the degree that you would prefer.

He should know what we are offering. His input could be valuable in determining what would or would not influence Big Blue. However, I would say he is not an essential part of it.

Justice still doesn't think he should be there for the negotiations based on the Risk = Probability * Impact theory. But, she has bowed to the groups wishes on that one.

Which brings me to another question for people: if Big Blue finds out about Jansten, how do we want to handle that? What is our excuse? What is our backup excuse for that excuse? etc, etc.

He will most likely try to strike a deal with Jansten as well. If he is all powerful and already knows he hasn't done anything yet to them......

We tell him the truth, not everything though! Jansten arrived in Hywrl not long ago. He seemed to know Archonus Bluestar, and he was willing to stay around and help. So not entirely trusting anyone from the Northern areas we bring him along to keep better whatch over him, and get to knowhim better till this deal is struck.
If he questions specifically about Janesten's rebellion: We have not talked to any of them, nor agreed to anything. Are dealing here and now are to him and to him alone. We will not break any oath we give.
--basically hedge it. Jansten can rat himself out if he wants, and stike whatever deal he wants for his group. We stay out of all that for now.--

It would be a "whenever I feel like it" rule. However, most of the time, I prefer at least 2. I don't have anything written yet, but if someone does want to infiltrate Tain's inner circle, I would suggest that such a feet will not be easy, and will more than likely require some heavy espionage and a sparkling plan.

Since it is only ancillary to the adventures of the Circle of the Phoenix, feel free to start a discussion elsewhere on the boards (probably just a different OOC thread) or on Gmail, and I can answer questions about what any potential spies would know.

EDIT: Assume that any group is associated with Jaine's phoenix kingdom, and would be reporting to her or her designates spymaster. So, there's an avenue for anything you find out IC in a potential side game reaching you IC in the main game.

Feign shock? "What!? A Rebel! Jansten, you are going to get such a spanking!"

Perfect.
