Fantasy Beast Souls OOC

Wondering if I am allowed to write for npcs or not. Xaman'Ek is likely not going to be at the meeting in time due to herb gathering.

Concept for future plans- I imagine that a large portion of the mercenaries are going to be furious because this attack was a preventable one. Simple scouts and a supply of fireworks could have massively reduced the casualties. The lack of information about the enemy given, followed by this event and the general lack of support from Xiong-Shi might cause a huge hit to morale and may make many want to head on home. They probably won't leave at the moment because of whatever treaty unifies the nations currently, but if things continue like this Xiong-Shi may be seen as failing to uphold their end of the agreement and this vanguard force may take a massive hit as foreign tribes pull out of the agreement. The most paranoid tribes may even see a lack of support in this early stage as an act of aggression- setting up the Xiong-Shi empire for an invasion.

Of course, there's going to be a whole lot of variety from person to person and tribe to tribe, and most of this would be behind the scenes as this isn't a diplomatic but a combat roleplay, but the thought came into my mind and i thought i'd share.

So the concept is that everyone knows there is no support from the empire on this endeavor. They volunteered. They know the risks. Where they are right now is in the middle of nowhere, there would be no expectation for scouts, support or anything. They didn't get information because there isn't any. The empire is also just that, there isn't much freedom in Xiong-Shi to defy imperial rule. Other lands will be different, like in Cuahuteh, the tribes have a lot more independence and power, but not here. There won't be political collapse, or invasions etc. Not yet. I love input from all people, and I'll definitely make changes to the plot I have if people would like it, but I also need to maintain the structure I planned or the story will dissolve into something with too much happening and no direction.
So the focus for now is getting to the caves. Nevermind about what the imperial power or his soldiers are doing. :P

Oni...you know I love you, but please...for now,

But I'm learning so much. XD I dont mean to antagonize, but theres just a lot of background knowledge i dont have rn.

I apologize about miscommunication. I didnt mean a political collapse in xiong-shi, more of the people of cuahuteh or byerenheim etc. Theres lots of reasons to come to this place but im getting the feeling that a large reason for some people was to gather information. Now the warriors have some. Im interested to see their motivation for staying here in xiong-shi when there are similar events happening at home that they could help with. Most people dont fight for others when their own home is at risk.

I also understand that you want to get to the caves, but i figure a good portion of the army just lost weapons and arent keen on fighting barehanded. Logistics is huge for armies, arguably moreso than individual fighting ability. Im interested in seeing how they resolve this before addressing the enemy.

I am really excited about the direction of this rp, i just get a bad case of worldbuilders disease and want to know more about how people interact in the world XD

I'll get a post up this afternoon. I'll be moving Mikal and the little raccoon boy to the crimson tent.
 
yeah so far the scariest thing is the immense pain or that people will just stop breathing

But then the fact that the spiders are so much bigger and can release far greater amounts of venom than what a tiny spider could do...

Your interests have been noted and cataloged. I'll try to focus some more attention on these aspects. I'll pm you for consultations XD
 
Perhaps in a little bit? I want to have people post consistently for a while before I begin to allow multiple characters.

I understand. I didn't plan to really introduce the kid's character for a bit anyway. But I just wanted to know because of the "influence" he's had on a few characters and I was interested in building a character for him.
 
Right, so I had a flight today, but like a ninny I forgot my plug adapter for this country and so have about 10 min left on my laptop battery. I won't be able to do much until I find an adapter tomorrow.

He can certainly be an npc for now.
 
I'm probably going to hold off on writing a post tonight, let y'all get a bit ahead to account for travel time. I do want Xaman'Ek to speak with Bjorn when he gets back, and he's probably going to partake in the mourning in his own way, but that'll be later in the evening
 
BugDozer73 BugDozer73 , your post made me laugh XD
Purize Purize don't you hate that feeling when you're trying to find your mother and sister, but suddenly get drawn into a spider war?

kioko: I just wanted to find my family-
shikoba: Not today. *flies away with her* We're going on a trip

I mean, she doesnt have to join the spider war. No one is forcing her yet

We can have multiple characters?? @@@@@@@@ I'm hyped, I have plans
Tell us when we can (I also wanted to do the raccoon boy but didn't know we could... It's okay though Raku Raku you called dibs)

I mean, if you really want to I'm fine with you doing the raccoon boy. I think it go smoother with someone else playing him, but I just wanted him and Mikal, after the discussion on the Discord last night, to have a father-son like relationship.
 
Wait @BugDozer, I just realized something
Are the spiders chasing us? If so, doesn't that mean we're bringing home a present for the main camp?

After I read your post I realized. I think it would be nice :3 Mikal could be a dad/train him to be a warrior. But I only would want to play him if you wanted me to, because well it's your idea.
