Rhiannon PNP OOC & Discussion

[Gwaihir]

From my point of view, several key things happened last time.

1. You were shown a vision of the past that differs slightly from the "official" version. (This, coupled with the fact I troubled to show it to you, is a hint.)

2. Each character person has access to a single wish. Do not take this lightly. This can be used in one of three ways I think: Enhancement of Character, Pursuing a quest or to get yourself out of trouble.

3. Appears that Arcade remains interested in what you are doing, though not enough to come to personally greet you.

4. You have a name, Marzinius, and a location, in the Amulet, of someone who can supposedly help you find a seed or seedling of the tree. Incidentally, I seem to remember that a very junior tree may not be as big a help as you thought.

5. You appear to have gained an Ally, at least temporarily - Edmund. He seemed quite willing to help.

6. You found that the situation in Rhiannon is worse than you suspected, I suspect.

okay then we will need some communing. also i continue my research on the arrival and what ever i can find on the lost ship.

 

[Tilmamir]

I could not write fast enough to capture all of the 'vision' of the past.
What did we see? Help me guys.
1) Rhian's ship arriving,
..... HOW MANY DID WE SEE?
..... Seven is official. Was it six, or were two lost? OK, seven, but one was still lost!

2) the ships landing, all races stepping off the boat(s),

3) Rhian saying "we stay here"

4) Antioch growing all around that place

Officially there were "Dark times"

Offically there was the fall of the tree at Bastion.

Current - Future: was this different?

 

[Tilmamir]

When fighting undead, did Randall notice if the Eire-wood staff had any stronger effect on them?

 

[Gwaihir]

1. No discernable affect on undead for the staff

2. Seven Ships. you saw.

 

[Paeter]

one was missing. could we find the tree then have a chronomancer transport us to when the tree is old enough, we scoop it and bring it back to our time. also if ship disapeared during the arrival wouldnt that tree be old enough? or older so even more powerful? would a wish age a tree?

 

[Gwaihir]

The original tree was brought as a seedling from Eire by Rhian and planted a few years later.
If you would find a sister tree that was on the eighth ship, it would be extremely large (and well rooted).

In theory, you could have a Chronomancer send you back before the tree was destroyed, dig it up somehow without destroying it and figure out a way to travel forward in time with it. (Star Trek anyone?) Of course, this would be against the Chronomancers code, and youd need to find one...

A wish will age the tree. How much may be the question. And how old would it need to be to be effective?

 

[Tilmamir]

Concerning the lost ship:
Why is it important?
Was it found?
Who was leading it?
Is IT the source of evil? If we knew all of history done after the seven ships, this eigth ship would still be an unknown thread in history.

If we could commune - St. Rhian may be a good person to ask what the eighth ship represented.

my conjectures / thoughts
- the ship carried a source of evil, one of the reasons Eire was destroyed
- My guess is it was not found, and did not intend to be found. (hiding)
- Another guess, the people from that ship are among us, a shadow culture as it were.
- the undead armies growing hidden (the armored spiders from Salix's time a clue)

The reason the world is on the edge needs to be clarified - WHY?
is it political
is it religious
Again, what of the Chronomancers? Who - why - where?

 

[Tilmamir]

assuming we will stay a few days in Antioch - we can get some individual things done
cant we?

First:
Randall will see if there was more information concerning his staff at the researcher/lorekeeper other that it is a wood unknown here, but came from Eire.
What type of wood?
Any properties that can be determined?
Does it have life in its cells yet (after 4000+ years)

more to come...

lost ship was one of the pack. rhian was worried about it. the mages where looking for it. it may have had another tree, we now know that one exists so everything points at this ship having one. where did they land? another continent that knows no undead? a small island? obviously tree survived there arrival wherever that may be. we need to find out which soul is the one guys and free him. maybe he knows where this tree is? or where the eighth ship landed.
