[Nightmares of the Second Age] The Daily Scribe

Hopefully Invisible Castle will be back up and running smooth soon.
 
No, I didn't realize you had it. I can alter the post to show that you respond to the attack at the same time that the Lion heard the arrow buzzing in if you'd like. Unless you do something weird, the Lions' action will still be to do the Secret Service routine of becoming a meatshield for you guys.
 
Naw, it's fine. We can just say that Reflexive Sidestep Technique activates at the exact last possible second, and the Lions acted slightly before that.


And yeah, I am basically decked out with the full defensive charm suite. 2/7 filter, anti-keywords and a surprise negator.
 
Ah, I see. I was not trying to screw with your character by not letting you respond to the attack, I just didn't know. Yes, you would have sensed the sniper(s) firing just as the Lions responded. I'll make a edit to the attack stating it.
 
Once the group in Yu-Shan has made it back to Creation, I'll be starting up a new thread with the first newcomers of the Solar and Lunar recruits (One Lunar in particular) will arrive, and then you can split off once more and discuss your next moves.
 
Aaand its time for me to get to bed. Got a early morning planned for tomorrow; having breakfast with my wife's family for her birthday.
 
Sherwood, in the few days that we have before the new recruits arrive, I would like to talk with Filial about those chambers in the main Pyramid he couldn't access before, and probably make a small expedition on cleaning the existing 3 manses from any devices or traps Han-Tha, Squall or Bane could have left in there, secure them 100%, and clear the remaining army of the treacherous Fae. The main reason to do this is to spend some time with Filial by exploring, talking about his life, sparring and telling him stories about the 1st Age, and by doing this I want to assess his emotional state, and hopefully spend some scenes building an intimacy of mutual respect between the two. I would also like to keep Whisper with me and do a similar process with him as with Filial, this way I can keep an eye on him as well, get to know him better, and see how deep the corruption of his shard goes.


I know you want to wrap the scene and move with the story, but I kinda want to get this done before we get new Exalts into the picture if it's ok with you, we already have trouble trusting this two, and having more solars and lunars is not gonna solve the trust issues and paranoia of the group. I would like to at least put Filial and Whisper in my "Ok to trust for now" book, and not worry about their every little action.
 
I like the idea of what you propose. The only tweak that I may pull to that plan is to let Teggetto's character get introduced so he can start posting and join in the game with everyone else, even if it is only just the last leg of his journey to the city. Sometime after my family outing with the in-laws I'll probably start up the new thread with everyone back in Rathess, and then you can bring up some of this IC.
 
Mmm, I think I shall postpone by Bureaucracy charms in favor of Investigation and Dodge. I don't want to get killed by minions, that would be embarressing, and we need to be certain of Filial.


New shopping list:


2 - Pay debt


10 - Reflect Sidestep Technique


8 - Investigation 2->4


8 - 2nd Investigation Excellency


8 - Evidence-Discerning Method
 
[QUOTE="MaHaSuchi's700]I believe Tiger's already knee deep in the Investigation tree, if it matters.

[/QUOTE]
He is, but (1) Rose wants to know these things herself and (2) Evidence-Discerning Method gives us a detailed personality profile on whoever it's used on, none of the others do that, it's what we need to evaluate how sane he really is.
 
Of course, if Tiger were to take EDM, it'd make it far less urgent for Rose to get it, and we could get on with owning the Celestial Bureaucracy.
 
Yeah, I can get Evidence Discerning Method and it's upgrade, Ocular Magistrate Understanding. They're on my "To buy" list, so I can forego Essence 7 a little longer.
 
I'd forgo Ess 7 until you had something you really, really wanted it for. And even if you had such a thing, I'd keep in mind that Divine Transcendence of (Ability) can do most of what Ess 7 can at 1/6th of the price.
 
I think I'll split my XP earnings in half from now on. Half can be spent on anything E6 or lower, and the other half will be put in to savings for E7.


Also Sherwood, how quickly can I learn those two Investigation Charms?
 
Cast Out Beyond Regard is awesome, to say the least. Highly circumstantial and probably not the most useful way to deal with stuff you don't like, but awesome nonetheless.
 
That Charm, along with Sharp Light of Judgement Stance that Aurora can buy, basically make us immune to conventional armies. Plus, COBR also wreaks plays havoc on the Loom of Fate every time it's used, so it's a useful tool to say "Don't fuck with us" to the Bronze Faction if they ever decide to mobilize the Realm against us.
 
SLoJS is on my list to purchase, but I kinda want Guiding Stars Tactic first, I kinda prefer being able to defend a whole city from a nuke than eliminating an army in one action.
