[Nightmares of the Second Age] The Daily Scribe

I kinda meant who should we ask to come along with the 3 invitations we got.


Rose and Aurora don't need one as they're both Ess 6, and I think Rin having ess 7 would allow her to access Heaven without an invitation as well despite being a terrestrial, I think Ryu stated he did not want to come, but even if he does, that would still leave 1 invitation left to use on someone else of essence 5 or less.
 
Having a dragon king representative is not a bad idea, and L'ron wanted to come, I think. I'm not sure having ess 7 is enough to get a terrestrial in, but even assuming it is, we don't *need* to use all three invites ;)
 
Sherwood said that Athaclenna is old and powerful enough to not need an invitation into Heaven, so one Dragon King is covered that way, the more I think about it, the more I want to do it, so I'm suggesting we bring Whisper along for Lytek to examine.


Not only we can gain him as an ally, but that would definitely throw the Bronze sids off their game with such an unexpected move, as we could offer to share possible valuable information in the war against the Deathlords.


Also keep in mind that Lytek knew tricks to raise an Exalt's essence faster and without much meditation, maybe, we can convince him to do that little trick for us....
 
Yeah, had we agreed with the Fae on giving them Leviathan in the first place I would be 100% in agreement with you Arynne. However, they followed us like treacherous little scum and then attempted to the backstab us right then and there by siccing the drones on us after assuming control of the facility. In that instance, Storm determined they deserved no parley and acted in accordance. While he completely distrusts fae, he will act diplomatically if that is the majority decision of the Circle (though he will grumble along the way too :P ).


Infernals and Akuma on the other hand... NOPE.
 
BTW, Sherwood, Rose sent Jingfei (her faerie retainer) to check out the nearby Wyld Zones. What's the report on number, distance, size and strength?
 
I'll have answers up for all the questions once I'm back from my errands of the day.

And that's why it's probably better that Skadi meet with the fae than Storm. :P

Sure, if you want to respond to backstabbing open hostility with pleasantries like tea and crumpets. ;)


EDIT: Corrected. Backstabbing would imply an alliance. They simply were openly hostile and assumed direct control over a facility that was rightful ours (the Solar Deliberative's).

Not a bad notion. We should call ahead and ask Ryzala to try and get Lytek to be at the meeting then. Sherwood, is that an option?

You can send a message to Ryzala, hoping that she has time to get Lytek to join the powwow no problem. You have 3 days before the meeting takes place; she should have time to make the arrangements, assuming that he wants to attend.

The nearest Wyld zone doesn't form up until you are about 80-100 miles away from Rathess. They start out as simple Bordermarches and extend to pockets of Deep Wyld, but there are not many of those. She also reports that there is strong evidence that there is a sizable Fae enclave nearby; possibly the one that your three (now down to one) Fae came from.
 
Okay... We seem to have been a bit at cross purposes, in particular we have proven(half of) the old saying "the difference between Europeans and Americans is that Americans think a hundred years is a long time, and Europeans think a hundred miles is a long way."


I had understood from your ealier remarks that theywere much closer. With that cleared up, let me ask a few more things. Which of the wyld zones is best suited for an outpost? And how many are in the way we expect an approaching army from Chiang-Dav to take?

While I can't speak for Sherwood, if we make basic assumptions based on the Exalted map I would assume that. most likely. none of the outposts or wyld zones (with wyld zone meaning anything of the Deep wyld and of a size larger than a couple miles in diameter - that would be a pocket) lie anywhere between Chiang-Dav and Rathess. All regions of Deep wyld of any significance would probably be either south or east of Rathess, whereas Chiang-Dav is northwest. Given our IC knowledge of Creation's geography from the First Age, while the incredibly short distance between Rathess and the frayed edges of Creation would be as quite a shock, the presence of Wyld zones of any significance west or north of Rathess - that is, relatively closer to the Elemental pole of Earth - would magnitudes greater of a surprise and a concern. The former (Wyld intrusion on Creation's borders) indicates a shrinking of Creation and weakening of its borders, whereas the ladder is indicative of a weakening of the fabric of Creation as a whole and a much more severe issue, in my own opinion.
 
On my map, chiang-dav is to the south west, but any armies would likely approach from due south after travelling on the river most of the way.


And I don't disagree, I'd just very much like to pull some tricks out of my hat :-)
 
Ah yeah, look at that. I could swear it was further north slightly, but it's probably 50 miles South. Either way, are you looking at the map created by StephenLS? The Southern Wyld appears a good ways away, and the Eastern even moreso.


I see what you're trying to do :P . You could always try to convince them to come up and be squatters for a little while, but I'm not sure that would work out in favor over the long-term.
 
I get an error 404 when I try to open the link in the OP of that forum thread there. :(


Also, InvisibleCastle is still down with an error 503. This could potentially be maintenance, or much worse. That said, I think I'm going to be brave and give what I think might be their associated holding company a call tomorrow.
 
Thanks, much appreciated. I like the grid this map has (along with the color-coding of various power groups/types!), but I think I like the visual detail of StephenLS's better. I'll guess I'll just have to use both then. :D
 
Ryu will go to Yu-Shan if Rose asks him to. Though I'm not sure what he can do. Anyone else coming to the Manse? Or is it just a date with Ryu and De :D
 
I think that only those who went to Yu-Shan on the first visit should go the second time, if for no other reason than to hide the majority of our players. Obviously I'm not about to stop anyone who wants to come along, but I'd rather keep most of our power under wraps until we need to show it off the most.
 
Can we confirm that at all? Can we check to see if the Yu-Shan Gateway has been used without our consent? If it hasn't, then I'm inclined to believe that the Sidereals have yet to start snooping around our place just yet.
