[WoT Adventure] OOC Thread

Hey Dave, have you gotten Prophecies of the Dragon yet? And if so, is it really as error-rife as the folks on the WotC WoT boards make it out to be?

Nope.

It wasn't at my local gaming store last weekend, and the friendly people at Amazon.com haven't shipped my order yet. It only flipped from 'not yet published' to 'usually ships in 2-3 days' today.

Tay-dor: It is irony, but What kind of irony is it?

Dave and Shalimar: I'm a bit confused about Shalimar's last comment because it doesn't match my understanding of Accepted. Her comment matches what i thought of Novices.

Accepted, in my view, are allowed to ask questions, since their course of study is largely left in their hands. They have to ask questions about different Ajahs as well as different talents and weaves to decide what their interests are.

And I know they have a lot more freedom than Novices.

About the only real restrictions on Accepted are
1) They have to obey Aes Sedai.
2) They cannot leave Tar Valon without permission.
3) They have to obey the Three Oaths (though they can, it will just get them in trouble if they're caught).
4) They have to study something eventually.

Accepted are certainly allowed to ask questions, but there are some areas where it's better not to ask about.

So I've found a picture I actually like for Yuri, off of the WotC art gallery...and it's a Whitecloak! Grrr!

So I've trimmed it down to this:

oops your right, I got confused between the two. But I don't think an accepted is allowed to question an Aes Sedai's actions or in this case teaching methods.

Eh. You've had one non-travel day since you left the Tower, and Logain and the trollocs from the night before made it rather difficult to do what Lila had planned to do.

Lost track of days they kinda ran together. But I thought they had been with her for a few weeks: a week from Arangill to Camelyn, and a day in Arangill, a Day in Camelyn, and a week going down stream.

Well, they have, but
1) You did get some lessons on the ship (and got a weave each out of the deal, along with some more mundane lessons).
2) Traveling by horseback along crowded roads is not all that conductive to teaching.

How about advice on putting nobles in their places
