[Nightmares of the Second Age] The Daily Scribe

[Sherwood]

Two questions then. First, how much do Rose and Skadi weigh? Second, May I buy one last charm before I punch the Fate out of Kejak?

lol you like to live dangerously, asking a lady how much she weighs. Do you have the points for the Charm, or would it put you in xp debt?

 

[JayTee]

I have points for it, it cuts in to my E7 savings, but if I an pull a win, it'll be worth it.

 

[Sherwood]

Aw, sure. What the hell. Go for it.

 

[JayTee]

Excellent, I'll have a post up shortly!

 

[Arynne]

Skadi is thinking, "I told you so."

 

[Sherwood]

I was debating this 'twist' for days, but I finally got the urge to post it. It just felt right, ya know?

 

[JayTee]

I've no complains. I'm sad things ended out this way, but it was a possibility I was prepared for.

 

[Arynne]

Hardly a twist. The old man already is certain that "once he dies, Creation is doomed". Someone that full of himself would never, ever do anything that would imply his actions might have been anything less than wise and righteous. He'd sooner risk Creation itself than that.

 

[Sherwood]

I just couldn't see the two wildly differing sides coming together without some hammer upside the head. Perhaps you'll be able to earn some points with the neutral faction leader and have him on your side.

 

[MrSerious]

I was thinking that there would be some kind of development like this at the meeting. My hope was to jolt the UCS into action when we finally get around to summoning him in the manse thread.

 

[JayTee]

Arynne, you want to activate your scene long Simple Charms? Seems like it might be a good idea to do so in case fight breaks out.

 

[MrSerious]

Sherwood. I intended on doing this before the fight broke out in the other thread but if we made contact with the UCS in te manse I intended to ask him to bless or protect our parlay in Yu-Shan. If you want to work that into what's happening 'now'.

 

[Arynne]

I just did. Infinite Recursive Design and Silver Claws are my only scenelong Simples. My other combat Charms are Reflexive.


Edit: Reflexive and Supplemental.

 

[Sherwood]

Noted.

 

[JayTee]

If nothing else, we're showing that we're not going to be the ones to throw the first punch. Whatever happens here will be on Kejak. That should be a good reason for the Neutral Sidereals to think about joining the Goldies.

 

[Sherwood]

Very true. In fact, your calming words are having an effect on the assassin squad.

 

[JayTee]

Oh god damnit, if I talk us out of an epic boss battle I'm going to be pissed that I don't get to fight him and pleased that I talked him in to not fighting us.


I'm so conflicted D:

 

[Sherwood]

Anyone ever see the thriller 'Crimson Tide' with Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington?

 

[JayTee]

If I have, I don't remember it.

 

[Arynne]

Maybe we should wait for Rose?


I can;t imagine she'd just sit there silently while this is going on...

 

[Sherwood]

The film takes place on a US nuclear missile sub. The captain (Gene Hackman) gets a missile launch order, and the XO (Denzel Washington) tries to stop him from launching. Very good movie. I highly recommend it, and not just because I'm a Denzel fan.

 

[JayTee]

That does sound good, I'll look it up.

 

[Sherwood]

Its either Red Tide or Crimson Tide, something like that. But like I said, it rocks as a thriller.

 

[Lord-Leafar]

Not sure I'll have time to pull it off, or that I'll be able to do it, but just in case, would you mind if Aurora storms the bathhouse with a retinue of War Gods to retrieve you all to safety?

 

[Esbilon]

Crimson Tide and it does indeed rock.


Also, screw the Atlantic Ocean.
