[OOC]Through Darkness, Light

[Macbeth]

Just to confirm, I was about to throw in some Diamond Throne references but then I thought that it hasn't really been confirmed that we are in the lands of the Diamond Throne. Should I avoid DT references? I think there is at least one in my character background.

Arador got it exactly right: assume somewhere in the Diamond Throne for now, when I get the setting (probably fairly soon) I'll fit it in specific. Go ahead and make references, and we'll see how it turns out.

Personally, I don't usually see colors on the screen - when I post from work, I'm using a text-based browser off a unix telnet session. So I've no real opinion on it.

And an OOC Note - Aelin does actually have a riding pony, which he usually rides, as it carries all his stuff.

Question for MacBeth - can you re-ready spells while riding along, assuming nothing untoward happens? I need to know that afore I answer the IC post....

 

[Macbeth]

Hmm, readying spells while riding? Well, after re-reading the section on readying spells, I would say that you can, but that the constant motion of riding would make it slightly harder, so that readying new spells would take about 1 hour, 15 minutes. You should be able to just about squeeze in that hour and 15 minutes during the ride to the edge of the forest, so that you can have new spells readied for whatever the forest brings.
(just so you know, I based this decision on the info on pg. 164 of AU. Since lack of notes and such can add time to the readying, I think that continous motion would have a similar effect.)

given the opportunity to change a few spells, chen will change canny effort for scent bane.

I'm in a bit of a characterization dilimma here, Aoe-Narara would want to have contingencies and the like all worked out, but doing so wouldn't really be interesting/fun in the game since play-by-message can take so long. Thoughts?

Just as long as you have some kind of riding animal you can do it, but if your on foot you can't focus well enough.

We could somewhat abstract it with "Aeo-Namara and (whoever) work out contingencies plans for XYZ events as they travel." The details aren't incredibly important, I'd think. Although there could be some interesting stuff during the talks....

 

[Macbeth]

I like the idea of abstracting the planning process for contingency plans, and I think that the thought Aoe has put into these plans would be worth a initiative bonus and possibly other types of bonuses if something untoward happens, since Aoe is essentialy "expecting the unexpected."
