OOC Kingdom of Ashes V - Brood city, baby!

[Laurel]

It's just where things went after she asked about her mother... which I thought everyone said was okay if she did it after people left. If it's not okay, just say so and I'll take it back.

I just thought she was asking about her mom seeing if she was alive and such. And I though she asked while everyone was still in the room and Kennon gave Big Blue's answer.... I guess I just didn't realize there was a 'more'
What does/did the group say?
What does Justice think memories of Thane will give the rebellion or help the war specifically?
Is it worth giving him the tool of the prophesies?

He already has every prophecy that mentions Mordred the Black - Xath gave him that. Didn't figure that the Prophecy of the Stone Oracle was any more or less valuable than all of that information.

I didn't think it was going to be more... however, when Kennon said that it was a possibility, Justice, of course, jumped at it. Knowledge of Thane, no doubt, has a vast importance to her. She constantly strives to know more about her heritage... especially since, technically, she's the only one that carries the blood of the Apectan line, now. (don't know how that works with L'Aurels new body and the like...???)

 

[Laurel]

She thought it was a fair trade... and, he already has every piece of information that Xath had about KoA's favorite Prince of Darkness...

Yep traded guesses for actual facts on same topic and now we all know essentially, so fair trade.

 

[Queen_Dopplepopolis]

So far as the war specifically goes - it could or could not. It could highlight some weakness of Big Blue...

However, regardless of their importance to the war, she would want them for herself, Preston and Dorn, and for the Church.

Knowledge History/Religion to see what Justice would know about the ward? Do her new memories of Thane allow her any advantage in determining what it is?

Nope. They are only the Bluestar's memories of Thane, which of course do not include what Thane secretly used to imprison him. If the Bluestar knew, it's already be gone.

Is there a way to Commune with the dead... as opposed to simply commuming with the Light?

Nope.

If there was a way that we could have a little chat with Link, that would be awesome... by our best guess, is 'heaven' a different plane? or something all together different?

No chats with Link by any method I can think of off the top of my head. Proposals?

Heaven is probably a different plane, although inaccessible my mortals.

Well, we can 'speak with dead' but need a body for that one.
If it turns out we can Commune with a warrior of the past why not Quarion (sp?). He supposedly put the thing up he should know that most about it......

Quarion undoubtedly knows more about it than Link would or did. However, as far as I know, you *do* need a body for that. It's Quarion's Wall and Quarion's Ward - he put it up while the Woodshadow was off brooding because somebody killed his wife. Sounds like someone else I know....

I bet there are lots of people each of the PC's would love to get to know all about, and big blue has that knowledge.
I know it would be important to Justice on a personal front, but the question was: What does Justice think memories of Thane will give the rebellion or help the war specifically?

 

[Queen_Dopplepopolis]

Additionally, the memories are not *Justice's* - they are everyone's... just as the memories that Xath received are everyone's.

Correcting myself- If he got ALL the prophecies that deal with Mordred then he got the one for the stone oracle as well. It sepcifically mentiones Dark Mistress and Goddess' Son both of with we were guessing to be Tiamat and Morded.
So if as you said he got them (which I think is correct)... he already had this info.......????......

Like I said earlier, at the time of proposing the Prophecy for the memories, she probably was not thinking about the rebellion. She went to Big Blue to ask about her mother out of entirely selfish reasons. Upon learning that she was not dead (somewhat enraging news in and of itself) she was shaken... and, upon learning that she could have the memories he possessed of her ancestor, she probably unthinkingly offered the one thing that came to mind.

In retrospect, they can help the rebellion by simply having the knowledge... however, it will probably do more for the Church and the minds of Preston and Dorn than anything for the rebellion.

::shrug:: If that isn't a fair trade, then, it's not set in stone - it can easily be hand-waved away.

Laurel know longer carries the Blood of the Apecto, although one can make an argument that she does carry on the spirit of the line, which is still a good thing.

Remember that these are only the Blustar's memories of Thane Apecto, not a catalog of the Saint's life. Furthermore, considering how they ended things, the memories Justice recieved are colored by what is essentially an undying hatred of Thane.

Everything takes on a negative cast - from what you have "learned," the Apecto was a pompous overbearing egomaniac who created a phony religion out of thin air so he could live out his days in luxury and stay close to the new (and easily influenced) Falcon King. He constantly threatened the practice of wizardry, and purposefully orchestrated situations so that Aregonn Bluestar would take the brunt of the danger while he pursued family squabbles at low risk to himself.

AND he smelled funny.

And since the Bluestar is an egomaniac, you have learned through his memories that he has no weaknesses, only strengths...he beat Thane, crushed his heart and soul...and that's the last thing you "remember." Oh - it's a happy memory.
