[Nightmares of the Second Age] The Daily Scribe

Tsk, the Goldies are teaching them "Stormwind Rider." It's a decent spell, I'll grant you, for combat. For overland transport, though, Summoning the Azure Chariot stands head and shoulders above it.


Speaking of transport, I believe the Yu-Shan group is ready to return te Rathess. Unless there are more assassins.
 
None at this time. Feel free to let your guard down anytime you'd like, though.
 
Mm, how would I go about doing that for my Lunar? So far, using Anathema as a guide, if I worked everything right. He'll have 8 willpower, with his valor being the highest virtue since I pushed it to five. but if I go with this, I think he loses a couple charms.


He's only starting with 100 xp right now, so I'm just trying to get the best combination of things for what I can do with his build. Lunar's are tougher than I expected x.x
 
Don't worry too much about xp for now. You'll be earning more soon enough. I just wanted to make sure you weren't left in the dust from the rest of the group being so much older than your character.
 
Do all of our captive mortals count as a single social group for the purposes of Wise-Eyed Courtier Method? And exactly how long are the "several hours" I need to spend with them prior to activating said charm?

IMO, the most important things you can and should focus on are having a solid Essence pool and strong defenses. Yes, you are playing a Full Moon, but when it comes down to it you'll thank yourself more for having the ability to perfect away a scary attack than being able to kill something faster, especially when the foes we fight get tougher (which is coming for sure).


You are aware of the changes to Lunars in Scroll of Errata, right? (ex: Claws of the Silver Moon is no longer ridiculously amazing like it used to be, just decent these days). Along with additional Charms in Glories: Luna?
 
I will say that since the whole lot of them are basically the same social group, you can work your magic on them as a whole, as long as you have them all together. Right now, they are split up between several levels, with 50 to 100 people per level. Splitting them up keeps them more manageable. For the second part of the question, I'll say a d10 hours - your permanent Essence, minimum of 1 hour.
 
Would I be correct in my IC post that one of the roadblocks to rebuilding Rathess is all the orichalcum an exotics we are going to need?
 
The city can be made habitable with less exotic materials, due to the Dragon King crystal and vegitative technology, but some will still be needed.
 
Are we using WST as written in the core book (can make everything) or this errata by Holden which never made it into the SoEr: http://forums.white-wolf.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=45846. The main difference is that the latter cannot make artifacts or magical materials other than Jade. The latter seems more balanced (and doesn't force a Crafter to go heavily into Lore), but the former is more powerful, so I'm unsure which I prefer ;)
 
The way from Chiang-Dav to Rathess is roughly 400 miles upriver and then a hundred miles through dense jungle. They'll have to do some serious cheating to get there anytime soon, and similarly sending a scouting party is not a trivial thing.
 
Wait, I'm confused. What is the point Aurora is trying to make? She's talking one minute about Tiger fixing up the Heart of Rathess and then talking about him praying to Sol the next.
 
A Factory Cathedral and most high power Manses get their power via prayer and spiritual incantations dedicated to Sol, Tiger made a comment that praying was of little importance and Aurora disagrees on that, if meeting Sol in person might prove difficult, try contacting him like any other god, via prayer (by restoring both the hidden heart of rathess and the pyramid of the sun).
 
Of all the stupid miscommunications brought about by an error...


Ignore that, there was supposed to be a comma between "I disagree" and "Praying to the Sun is Vital".


Tiger wants to pray to the sun and get him on our side. This is why he wants to secure the temple. We basically agree, but thanks to the stupid typo, we disagree.


/facepalm JayTee


EDIT: Also, cleaning out the temple (According to Luna) is supposed to be a really really good way of getting the Sungod's attention. This is why Tiger is going after that as opposed to the Factory Cathedral, (Sorry, Ryu!) althought he definitely will be there to bless the factory.

Isn't that what Sidereals do best :D . If we were able to take down Han-Tha and FW something the Sidereals couldn't manage I imagine they will only come with assassins or the full force of The Realm.
 
It would still be dumb and hubristic not to scout.


Not to mention inviting the ST to screw us from behind.
