[Nightmares of the Second Age] The Daily Scribe

He'll stay in the city and continue to work on training the army, and helping to clean out the remaining goblins and monsters to make it safe for the repair crews to go to work. Just wanted to make sure before I posted him saying something in the Yu-Shan thread and have people go "Huh? I thought he was in Rathess?"
 
I think they last time they did that was against the Bull of the North.


I feel flattered, they only deployed one against him.
 
We do kind of make the Bull look like a baby, to be fair. I'm more worried about the 30 to 60 DBs though. That's nothing to sneeze at whatsoever.
 
I may have made a mistake there; I was going for the type just above Common, and I wasn't sure if it was Royal or Noble, so I guessed without going to look it up in my book.


Edit: Just checked; the order goes Common, Noble, then Royal, so I had it right.

Noble is correct. Royals are the best, but the Realm has no more than a handful and has never really fielded them as far as I know. Nobles are in between Royals and would probably be deployed in only handfuls and with special/talented individuals piloting them. Commons would be piloted by rank and file DB warstrider pilots. Collosi are also a possibility, but considering what happened the last time a Collosi was fielded against a Solar (the Bull) I have to imagine the Realm is wary about that.
 
It also takes a lot more Essence to use a Royal, and not too many Dragon Blooded have the Essence pools to do so easily.
 
That's true too. I think it's also due to the fact that Nobles are hard enough to maintain for DBs as it as - Royals are so intricate that really only Solar-led efforts can keep them running in any sort of significant number, and even then its difficult.
 
Poor Ejava, I'm sure Memnon expects her to die in this campaign against us, not that I intend to kill her or anything, but I would let her live just to piss off that woman. :rolleyes:
 
I've been assuming that Sash and the others have been filling us in on what's going on off screen during our downtime
 
Rose can pick up on political situations pretty fast, and she would have quizzed teh available npcs on it when the cameras were off. Grond, Whisper and L'Ron would know some tidbits too.
 
That's true. So Storm would have at least a basic idea on the id of Tepet Ejava.
 
Can we assume that Rose at least, and those others of the circle who are interested, are caught up on most major geopolitical and cultural stuff?


Some concrete questions would be:


Do we know about Lookshy? What of their current attitude towards Celestials?


Do we know about Raksi and Sperimin/Mahalanka?


Do we know that Denandsor stands empty?


Do we know how much the Realm's influence has shrunk compared to the good old days, and even the shogunate?


Do we know about the thousand streams river project?


Do we know about the Great Houses and their relative power?


Do we know about the Bull of the North?


How much do we know about Tetet Ejava, in particular do we know her motivations for contemplating rebellion?


More questions will be added as I think of them :)
 
Also, did we get xp for meeting Luna, setting up the meeting with the Bronze Faction, defeating the treacherous faeries and securing the Leviathan?
 
By my reading of the xp thread, we got the xp for handing over Han-Tha and everything prior to the fae showing up by the Leviathan.

Yeah, that makes sense. I'm not sure what we've done after that has merited XP, but then again, Sherwood has been quite generous...
 
Sherwood. Prior to the meeting, I'd very much like to know exactly how much Rose knows about the shit piled upon Creation. In particular the threat posed by Deathlords, Yozis, the Realm civil war, the encroaching Fair Folk and any other looming threats our modern friends may be aware of.
 
The Sidereals themselves are not too certain about what the Deathlords are. Although the Elders have some frightening suspicions that they only consider in their most private moments.
 
You would know from Whisper that at least his old master, First and Forsaken Lion, has a massive army over 750,000 strong, and it is growing daily. The other Deathlords all have armies, but his is the largest. The most public is Mask of Winters with his mobile fortress that he used to conquer the city of Thorns.


Next, you are aware that the Empress has been missing for the past five years, and that the Realm is in chaos. The names of Mnemon and Tepet Ejava have come up as two of the leading candidates to replace the Empress, but neither one has enough support to make a claim and have it stick. The last you have heard, Ejava is in the East, and Mnemon is somewhere on the Blessed Isle.


The Fae are as always a potential threat, but with the power of the Sword of Creation to protect us all . . . oh, wait a minute, there is no one using the Sword to protect us all, is there? Well, we're probably going to be fine. What could go wrong?


The encounter with Squall and Bane is the first hint that there is any kind of weakness in the Yozi prison, but you are not 100% sure if they were Akuma, or some other kind of Exalt that has not been encountered before. Even back in the First Age there were Exalted that thought they could serve the Yozis and not fall under their full control. Whenever one was encountered, s/he was killed as a traitor to Creation. Fortunately, there were never very many Akuma running about.
