OOC Kingdom of Ashes VI (Welcome to the Springer Dimension)

[Laurel]

AD+48 - *Small number of Refugees arrive at Hyrwl, New Oceanus - report larger numbers arrived at Oceanus. Report Draconid Invasion in Southwest Great Ring. Army of the West reported routed. Rumored to have retreated to Barrier Range.

How did they get there? Where are they from?
Did they not see the distruction and draconid and think it may not be the best place to go to?
How about we scout and simply see what we see... we jumped from people going there to they are all in holding pins deep inside Oceanus.
Not a bad assumumption, especially with everythign we have seen, but can we look first before the charge?

The second report of the Draconid Invasion I assume is seperate- as the Southwest Great Ring is not Oceanus. or are they the refugees? refugees from that part of world?.... Army of West routed- do we know by whom? King still controls them? How many other armies are out there under the kings command that we know of? Army of West retreated to Barrier Range or Draconid Army?

Edit: Nevermind- we scry they are imprisoned.

On the scrying thing - it can be done.

You have more mages, and you can probably attempt to affect a rescue, if you choose.

Assuming that after an hours work, one of the refugees fails their save - you're looking at cells full of people, much like the city watch was, before. It has a similar set up, and teleporting in should be possible. There are only about (from what you can extrapolate) 30-40 visible refugees, and the ones that made it to you seem to think that no more than 500 could have survived.

There are four main armies, a navy, marines, several thousand mercenaries, and the Talons under the King's command at any given time.

Two of them are under your control at current (The Army of the Watch, Army of Prydein), one has apparently been routed (Army of the West) and the other is guarding the King at Thanesport.

They came to Prydein by boat (most on somethings roughly similar to Haitian refugee rafts)and this group is mostly from the Southwestern Ring - Aturia, Devaria, etc. - north of the mountains, south of the Westgate.

They were just on rafts and fishing boats - so not a lot of opportunity to stear away from Oceanus. The ones that ended up in New Oceanus just drifted further north before coming to ground.

Draconids (based on what you're hearing) routed the Army of the West.

You know that battle has been happening in Atur...these people are from different parts of the area...

So far as the *'ed things on the timeline:

What we play out depends largely on how long we want KoA to run, I think.

So, in an ideal world, how much longer would you like to see KoA run?

So we go in with a wand of Knock and a scroll of Teleportation Circle. We set up the circle to teleport to a well guarded area outside of the city (in case any draconids get through). We knock open the cells, and bring the people through the circle.

AD+30 - *Jaine seeks approval of the Circle. Considers marriage politically expedient. Jaine approximately 2 months pregnant.

We gave her the options. We told her the pros and cons. We understand all options are less then happy, but she decides. It is her life, we serve and this is a decision that is hers. If says that is what she has chosen then L'Aurel will stand beside her choice and give approval.

AD+48 - *Small number of Refugees arrive at Hyrwl, New Oceanus - report larger numbers arrived at Oceanus. Report Draconid Invasion in Southwest Great Ring. Army of the West reported routed. Rumored to have retreated to Barrier Range.

Plan already in process (or finalized by this point) from what I have seen on the boards.

AD+252 - *Jaine's children (child, publicly) due.

After they are born can we start with a new number scheme? AC, After Child or some such

 

[The_Universe]

Right, but if they expend that much effort on making the palace unscryable, than they probably didn't do that over the rest of Oceanus. So if we can't scry on the refugees, we know they're in the palace.

You can say "I want to scry on a random person in Oceanus" They just get a bonus to their willsave because you don't know them.

The Palace *is* unscryable.

Sounds like with this, we can have the ceremony to make Henry Hansbury the official leader of Atur.

I know that they're not finalized - not even close. But, I think the trend here is to think that something must be done. Liz/Justice is right to be wary, though - you've swept them out from this situation before. Either it's bait, or the Draconids are stupid.

Of course. However, if you're trying to start a new Order of the Light with Arfin as the saint, you're best off sticking to AD+time as a scheme.

Heck - it might become the new standard!

Absolutely, for all the good it will do. It's a symbloic gesture that can't hurt...but most of the aturian's are probably draconids, or on their ways to becoming them, now.
