OOC Kingdom of Ashes V - Brood city, baby!

[Laurel]

Have a happy turkey day/weekend!

So we can offer the land to him Not all just part, but hey if we can give part of it to bluestar instead of parts of ringed continent that's the best. Any land that Jaine gets from this deal she can split however she wants, or deed however she wants.

She's already given some to Justice and to the black orcs that we don't even own yet. At least with the lands in the west, she would be getting land back for someone else, but at that point it is just us seeing how good a queen we put on the throne.

Also, maybe not the question to ask, but..... So the war ends when Tain is dead? When the forces are out of the ringed continent? Till all the draconic and undead forces are dead?

 

[The_Universe]

Good questions.

Jaine's suggestions for when the war ends would probably have these conditions:

1) When all substantial draconic forces have been eliminated

2) when she (or a rightfully chosen heir) sits on the falcon/phoenix throne.

Both conditions have to be met for the war to be considered "over."

But, as with the other, this is just a good jumping off point.

So...you're saying your next Aeres campaign will be OA?

More like hinting that the main part wouldn't happen in the vicinity of the Great Ring - think Swashbuckling Adventures, rather than Oriental Adventures.

I would very much appreciate it if everyone would take a moment some time before the 10th, and read the post linked above, that comes from this thread:

Although written by someone else, it sums up my thoughts on the matter of how and why we play very succinctly. However, I will note: feel free to ignore number 9. I know I do.

I will also send this out over gmail, just to make sure it doesn't get lost in the shuffle.

Now, back to the campaign discussion!

I do not believe that killing Tain will do much to end the war... if, indeed, he has made a deal with some dark evil force as we have learned through out Communism sessions, there will always be someone to fill his place. We need to concentrate on discovering what the dark evil force is and smashing it to bits.

Kaereth smash?

Kaereth smash?

And, it'll be beautiful.

Killing Tain will certainly not *hurt*, but you're correct in noting that the various commune attempts have hinted that the problem is somewhat deeper than this one man. Understanding why Tain has suddenly turned against a kingdom he already ruled is probably essential to learning how to defeat him.

Just bumping the thread to remind everyone that there is still discussion to be had, questions to be asked and answered, and all of that fun stuff. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving, especially those of you who I did not have the chance to share a little bit of ours with.

In the spirit of the holiday, I'd like to note that I am thankful for all of you. It's nice to have a group to game with, and it is even better to have friends.

Understanding why Tain has suddenly turned against a kingdom he already ruled is probably essential to learning how to defeat him.

So, outside of Communing, how can we go about doing this?

(1) Find a way to plant someone in Tain's inner-circle (INTRIGUE!!)
(2) Do a very dangerous scouting mission to where Tain is living (DANGER!!)
(3) Send in Xath or Justice as a very special gift for Tain... get him drunk and talking (SCANDAL!!)
(4) Ask Big Blue (NOT VERY EXCITING!!)
(5) Capture some of Tain's inner circle and question them (EXCITEMENT!!)

Just some ideas... none of which are mutually exclusive... but, ways to find out that information... probably best suited for *after* the Caer Albion/going North business -- except for the asking the Bluestar part, we can do that while we are North.

However-- it is yet to be decided *how* we want to present ourselves to Big Blue... Xath the Bard, in particular, should have something to say about this... being a master of persuasion and the like... Justice knows what she thinks-- and she likes to think she's really good at the diplomacy thing, but really wants to know what Xath thinks... (if she has already responded and I have spaced it, I apologize... haven't been on our thread for a while -- if that is the case, Gertie, would you mind refreshing me?).
