OOC Kingdom of Ashes V - Brood city, baby!

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.......????......

Maybe that reference isn't about Mordred, then?

From Xath, he just got the pieces of the various prophecies that she believed dealt with Mordred. From Justice, he recieved the entire "text" of the prophecy of the Stone Oracle.

On another note, like Liz said, even though the memories live in Justice's head, they're accessible to everyone.

Lastly, you don't know for sure if Justice's mother isn't dead - you just know that the Bluestar doesn't think she is...

He got the pieces of every prophecy that Xath thought referred to Mordred. There was no third party ensuring accuracy in the transfer. Now that the Bluestar has that information, he can sythesize it however he wants...but he didn't get any whole prophecies, except where Xath thought the whole prophecies dealt with Mordred.

Well, it's the most credible source that Justice can think of so far as stuff like that goes... so, until something else happens, she assumes that Katie lives.

Just remember that the Blustar doesn't have any control over life and death in realms outside of his influence. He is not a Hades watching over the underworld (and certainly not a St. Peter at the Gates of Heaven) - he's just a very bad undead man who happens to have the ability to twist the dead to his will in a semblence of life. While that affords him a certain technical mastery of life and death, it does not make him any more or less aware of the varying souls that pass from this life to the next...unless he killed them himself.

Earthsea tonight.... hmmm, can SciFi pull it off?....

Still I assume in game time this actually took place before Kareth showed up, when the Bluestar answered the question Justice posed about her mom. Only the convo. continued later in actual time.
It still means that IC we all would have been there, and I am just asking what L'Aurel would have asked.
If Justice blurts out the offer and the Bluestar just grabs it... then it happens.
I don't know how things were at the time, nor what he would/did do.
If he doesn't jump at it, then L'Aurel at least would ask Justice: what she thinks memories of Thane will give the rebellion or help the war specifically?
If all Justice can respond with is a need for personal knowledge and it will help the church, it can be delt with later.

By Gertie and Mik being there did Xath or Arhconus say anything? Agree to it, obstain, not say anything?

But personally since we would all be standing around it's an IC thing that should be played out somehow, as we have said with all those pesky IC things that involve the group should.
But at the least can a what happened, order of events for the rest of us 'standing around' be posted IC thread up to the actual final exchange? Just so we know what happened, what was said all that fun

She is well aware of that. However, Justice believes that he is as close as she can get to an answer when it comes to the current status of her mother. So, unless some other source were to make itself known, she is going to take his word for it.

It would have happened before Big Blue packed up to leave... a little left-over conversation was mentioned before everyone left the Bauman apartment... Justice wanted to ask about her mother. So, let's say she did at least that much because I did run it by the others in the group - and had no objections.

But, just forget that she did anything else.

It would have been a very, very cool addition to her character's motivation to shake the foundations of her Church to discover what The Truth *really* is.

However, it was not something that was role played out in detail. I mentioned that it would be cool. Kennon said it was possible if I had something to give. So, we determined what *could* be given.

It seems clear that it was not something that other players appreciated. So, we'll just say it never happened and move on to talking about things that really matter.



On to the taking down of the wall.

What you learned isn't necessarily true, only what the Bluestar remembers.

 

[Queen_Dopplepopolis]

Kennon - is there a knowledge check that can give us some insight as to what we should expect in taking down the wall? I know nothing can give us all the answers - or the correct answers for that matter.

But, is there some sort of knowledge we can roll to determine any little sliver of information?
