Rhiannon PNP OOC & Discussion

[Gwaihir]

1. what if we pick a restricted person unknowingly?
You will be told that person is not within reach and allowed to pick another.

2. Will this person know we talked to him, or is this an "out of time and space" interview
This interview will not be remembered by the person you interview, so you cannot attempt to change the past this way.

3. Will the person be required to speak the truth, or be in-character (e.g. hostile, surprised, unable to answer questions, in a shocked state of mind...) In Character. or can we use a zone of truth again? Yes.

Others?
Several I can think of

Also, Some of these questions may be answered prior to this interview, by the being that is "arranging" it.

Good Start on the list!
Salix and Angus will likely have no idea about undead though. There are none in their time and they died 2500ish years before the lizard war started. (i.e. You cannot talk to dead people--at least through this means. Even if they are saints.)

 

[Tilmamir]

I don't get it then. Any person from history... A lot of these are dead, so we can not talk to Marne, Salix, Kierdeere, or the like?

My list supposed we were talking to the person plucked out of time when he lived.
Thus, Salix, now is out, but Salix in the wars could be accessable...

 

[Gwaihir]

I think You do get it. But I think your getting your wars mixed up.

As you said a persons knowlege will only be what it was in the timeframe that you are interviewing them.

Nearly everyone from history is available, there will only be a few exceptions. But they will be limited to their knowlege at the time of the interview. Thus Joe Blacksmith who lived then died in 800 RY, and would be intervierwed in 799 RY would have no knowlege of events that took place in 900 RY.

The saints present a "special case" since they obviously have some indirect interaction with even the current world. However in the example you site,

Salix, Warrior. after the 'win' over the lizard folk.
. . . What is the source of the undead, who is the enemy?

Salix lived and died circa 400 RY. So you would need to interview him before death. This was what I was trying to say by saying: You cannot talk to dead people--at least through this means. Even if they are saints.

The lizard folk war started in 3400 RY (Approximate)
The undead scourge started in 3500 RY (approximate)
Therefore niether he nor Angus would have any idea about either event. (Even though they listed to thier followers prayers etc, today)

If you talk to him during his life, he will not know anything that comes later. He won't even comprehend that he is (will be) a saint. If you want to talk to a saint, and gain the benefit of his current knowlege, there are cleric spells that can allow this.

?

Gori'On is all in favor of the last person and questions. he will also want to ask about restoring cuthbert to the pantheon.

 

[Paeter]

basically we can talk to anyone dead or alive as of right now

but if dead right now they can only know stuff that they knew when they where ALIVE.

so we can talk to salix, but he would be salix before he was a saint.

we could talk to Dion the II but he would only know that which he did up till he got poisoned to death.


so we can choose anyone, but that person will only have the knowledged they had achieved up to that POINT in TIME of THEIR existance.

 

[Tilmamir]

expanded the list above

 

[Paeter]

Questions

Why was dion poisoned? who wanted him disposed. i was lead to believe it wasnt the church b y questions to one st macedon. but maybe political ie the royal cuthberts.

maybe they dont want to lose any ground to the church so they will poison anyone who is trying to forward the churches causes

just thoughts, i am far from an expert on this campaign

 

[Paeter]

i like 8 and 9 off new list, althouh new 7 is intriguing

 

[Gwaihir]

Miriams thought on #7: Can't we just talk to him face to face, hes coming to pick us up at dawn.

 

[Paeter]

I believe the lass to be right. i believe it more prudent to talk to one of the last few you chose. king or patriarch living or dead.
