General Discussion [Dreams of the Third Age]

While I am in favor of links between characters, the raid on Amoth seems like a remarkably bad fit since heaven frowns on CoDs.
It would have been more natural to have met in Creation at some point.

I'm capable of hiding such trait and in my solar persona (Moor) do so. But if you don't want to link your PC with CoD (it will come up some day) and with stealing in heaven, I understand.


In that case perhaps we met when you were working for Kyros (JayTee PC) and I teamed with hime one 1-3 occasions(pointing targets for carpet bombing? ;) ) , I could gave you instruction how to contact me if you will need help. Method is simple leave message(with proper keywords) in certain tavern in Paragon(an wait till I pass by Paragon and receive it) or use magic and send Moor message by Infallible Messenger(also preferably with proper keywords in the message) this assumes that Moor will be reachable (in the same realm of existence or just not hiding with use of magic). Whole keyword thing is just to ensure my PC you are sending message out of your free will (it's not 100% sure but it's better than nothing).


Just tell me with option you prefer

Ludek, Esb is referring to the fact that the raid on Amoth happens in Heaven, and you can't get in Heaven because you're a CoD and the Celestial Lions won't give you access to Yu-Shan.

Wait? You have conquered all of the hundred kingdoms? And Lookshy aren't out to get you? Well. I suppose they could care less about a guy with only a thousand troops.
Anyway, you look like you need someone to actually lead them if they are to be much good in a battle ;-)

I figure Lookshy's just as happy to have a stable trading partner for the time being, and I'm not making any overt moves towards them (yet). Of course, they could be out to get me, but I'm pretty hard for a Wyld Hunt to take down at this point.


As for leading troops... that's what I have generals and captains and lieutenants for. :P Seriously though, I'd like to have had a higher War rating, but points are stretched pretty thin already...

Unless I misunderstand rules disguise charms allow to hide such trait so Celestial Lion won't know. All he would be seeing/sensing would be proper Essence 5+ Eclipse wanting to enter the haven - unless he pierces my disguise(with is difficult If I'm serious about disguise). I'm not trying to 'sell' this version of meeting I'm now curious(it's matter what my PC can and can not do) if there is special ability that allows Celestial Lions to reliably pierce disguise charms .. I think there is not besides usual sensing charms witch aren't reliable they just trigger rolloff between sensing side and hiding one.


Or haven have similar effect to one from Whitewall(before it was conquered by Abbysals in this game) that just don't allow CoD enter (they need to be invited).


It's all I can think of that could do it.


Anyway I'm perfectly comfortable with second option from my previous post.
 
So need to finish my character. >.<


I have an hour or so tonight, will try to spend that getting thing finished up.

I believe that Lookshy prefers. trading partners to trading partners who have a snowball's chance in Hell to beat them.


Also, mortal officers suck ;-)


Ludek, I'm not sure how the machanics work, but I would not allow a CoD to walk past Celestial Lions unchallenged.
 
Ludek claims LSD + ESM will disguise him sufficiently enough to pass as Solar (So CoD status moot until a Holy effect hits him. xD ) I'm not sure if the Lions can contest LSD + ESM.
 
Tricking Celestial Lions is possible even more so with LSD+Eldritch Secrets Mastery. You can even fake not being a CoD with it. Problem mostly, this is heaven , the security inside is pretty ridiculous when you read all of it.
 
Eh Syrenica doesn't care if she is or isn't. Yu Shan is the greatest Stick in the Mud of them all! xD I should post...
 
Just wondering, where does a person go to in order to sign up for this tournament? Do we just waltz into Yu-Shan and say, "Hey, I'm here to fight someone?"

It's an invitational, you get picked or you don't.
 
Esbilon - We should start together, either with Alexandra and the Count or already on the ground. The four of us recently took down Mask, so it makes sense.


By the by, if its okay with Gbat I'm going to go ahead and count everyone part of the Mask-destroying group or with some other connection to my character as a Shadow Finger for the purposes of Sifu's Useful Fingers. This will come with the standard 1m commitment per head, and those of you who I edit into this post get a free dot of Martial Arts and add my character's (Martial Arts), or +5, to their DMDV. This, by default, will include:


Suhiko - Esbilon


Alexandra - Kaji-Oni


The Count - Lord-Leafar


Unnamed DB - Feantari


Renna - Sherwood


Others may be added on a case-by-case basis (e.g., Suhiko's DB allies/retainers). I'm assuming my character has had no contact with the DTs up until this point, so they will have to wait on the goodies.


PS: Keep in mind that the free dot of MA and +5 DMDV count as bonus dice from charms. This means that if you're a Solaroid and your (Willpower + Integrity) totals less than 10 (shame on you), you only benefit from up to your cap (if your WP+Int is 7, then your cap is +3). Fean, you'll only receive a total benefit equal to half your (Integrity+Specialty), so unfortunately only +2 to DMDV. Similarly, those of you who use MA excellencies will have a free die at all times, but that will count as part of your total die adder cap.


EDIT: Another thing worthy to note - if your character is a Finger, and you're ever attacked, my character will know. Regardless of distance. If my character possesses some means of observing the fight or is participating, I can also use Throne Shadow Charms through your character. Need to hit something really hard? Have an Unobstructed Blow. Is that dirty Fiend lying through his teeth again in interrogation? Pimp-slap him for me and we'll give him a dose of the poison of truth.


Are you ready for shenanigans? Damn right you better be.

@MaHaSuchi's700
I would like to start with your group by virtue of my connection with Suhiko (Esbilon PC)
Click to expand...
At game start? That could work.


EDIT: By the way, Ludek, you do know that the Green Iron Heart only adds to Conviction, right? If I recall correctly, it's +1 Conviction, -1 Compassion, +2 Integrity, and +4 Strength/Stamina.
 
Ach .. you are right , I was pulling artifact effect from memory and mistaken temperance with integrity. Thanks

It was mentioned that Renna could have been a part of the effort to take down MoW. Do you want to add me on that list?

No problem, I have to imagine the Integrity dots are probably more helpful anyways.

Sure.
 
I just want to clarify; I can add a extra shadow dot of Martial Arts to my character that counts as a part of my totals for dice caps for free?
 
No no no. Your natural traits remain your natural traits. In effect, you're gaining an extra die from a Martial Arts Excellency so long as my character keeps the 1m committed to yours. So if you apply, for example, First Dexterity Excellency to a Dex + Martial Arts attack roll in human form with nothing else active (no RLF or anything), you can add a maximum of five more dice to Renna's attack roll (your normal cap of 6, minus the one free one you gain from my character).


That is, unless I'm terribly mistaken. Goddamnbatman, could you correct me if my interpretation is wrong here?
 
Ah. I got it now. Thank you. I didn't want to make a mistake on my posting for any up coming fights.
 
Better to double check now than in the middle of a combat. :cool:
