OOC Kingdom of Ashes V - Brood city, baby!

Altering as a dwarf is a good idea, however, it'd have to be either Xath or Justice, since they're the only two who speak Dwarven. Also, they're the only two with moderately respectable bluff checks. (I believe)

Whispers, "Jansten" -that arcane sight, spider climbing really sexy guy in front.
Did Xath speak dwarven to the other construct?

We are currently on level 1 of 5 main habitable levels. Archon fell through to level two. The levels built during Quarion's time are 3-5. I use the term "level" loosely, because each level is 30-70 feet deep, with multiple sublevels. However, I think we still need to go down.

Cool beans, then yep down some more. Do we want to just head straight to level 5?
They obviously did not want people to find or go searching for this item/object/room/person so I doubt there will be 'clues' laying about.

But perhaps of most interest, you find a book whose covers are made of a slightly rusted iron: on its cover are the words (in dwarven) "Iron Walks the Earth." It is an Iron Golem Manual.

Jansten would like to take a closer look/read through/put in his bag of this manual as soon as he sees it's metal cover.

So I know on some things you can esentially say 'turn off' does that work for things like Arrow Deflection as well. If an ally takes this and I try to shoot them with a healing arrow can I say turn off the Aroow Defelction? or would they have to drop the shield?
Not sure who can would use a shield anyways for our group, but figure I'll ask in case someone takes it and uses it

Arrow deflection is an "always on" effect. You can either roll highe enough to beat the effect (if that's possible, I don't have a book in front of me) or they have to drop the shield completely in order to make your shot easier.

Well, even though it may have been Quarion's magic in part it seems that all hints lead to the dwarves heading and doing most of the building- so something that they would appreciate. Perhaps we should either alter self to one of the front guys to be dwarves or let Xath go first (think altering front guy better idea) so that perhaps as last time we could possibly get some information out of the constructs instead of just obliterating each one- just no spanish!

Constructs, no matter how loyal to a particular group, are usually not terribly communicative. Most don't even have intelligence scores, and those that do have no means of communication. They can follow simple instructions, and most will naturally pursue the purpose of the construction even without instructions. So, just so you know, questioning contructs is not likely to yield much in the way of information.

I think we also seemed to agree last time that sticking to the middle levels is good. The really deep ones weren't built in Quarion's time so would be there. Does Xath have an idea on levels and time frames- any checks for stone age? No more dwarves in the party.

The highest tunnels are the oldest, the deepest the youngest. They started at ground level and worked down. There are 5 main levels of the city. Quarion would have come on the scene somewhere around level 2 and 3.

There was that picture/mural with a river connecting it all.... could be a clue.

Could be.

Not adverse to fast forwarding either. This would mean that we still act as the great generals of the army that we are, we just aren't rolling it out, RPing it out, or getting experience for it right?....

Right. Sort of like how time passes between Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back.

We may also want to/need to know what Jaine decided before the fastforward happens, since I think 7 months is at or past her due date. Maybe something RP at least we all want to be around for?

Probably. Perhaps it would be part of a "montage" of events. Or I was thinking that we'd just end the Fast forward right as the event is happening. One of those.

I always like the idea of the group going for the spirit blades- and we are getting the point of more dangerous covert getting them back from Tain situations. We have very few left on the list of which are just out there possibly. Most are accounted for -either Tain or Bluestar's hands. Tain's winning on that score by the way......

Oh yeah. By quite a bit.

By the way these are just first ramblins and first personal feelings, not saying I am dead set or pushing for any of these things... just when questions asked what I first thought.

Cool. Appreciate the ideas and thoughts.

I think we could pretty easily deal with the constructs by getting Jaine to pass us the Rod of Rulership through the Ring Gate.

Justice could be the Construct Queen - in addition to the Ooze Queen of Nirvana. Like a party!!!!

Not quite sure why Justice still doesn't have it... but, it's not on her equipment list, and I seem to remember saying we were going to give it to Jaine...

 

[Xath]

We did give it to Jaine.

 

[Laurel]

We gave the rod to Jaine, since she is ruling as Queen over our lone city and our slowly amassing army. When going through the invintory one time there was talk of selling it, so all seemed happier when the idea of putting it to good use by Jaine's hand then selling it to Cawys and thus to the bluestar.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS to All!!!!!!!

Well, at the moment, it may well do us some good to get our hands on it, again. Could make dealing with the constructs much easier.
