[Nightmares of the Second Age] The Daily Scribe

Only a little. You got most of the fun fighting Han-Tha and the demons back during the battle for Rathess, I'd like a turn now! :D
 
Our lives are being threatened here, and it may well be our get out of jail free and win over our jailers card.
 
Not much, probably 65 kg or thereabouts (note, I have no idea how much beautiful women generally weigh, so I'm guessing here).


Also, I don't see where you say that you have the arrow. And even if you did have it, you would have removed it for the bath, and as I said, Rose has more inconspicuous Elsewhere storage.
 
If the fight goes south, you can easily be carried by Tiger. Skadi can change in to something small and cling to his hair or something. Few things short of a Scourge Caste can keep up with a Solar who's gunning it.


I posted that I tied the arrow to my belt in the thread it was given to us. Even if it was removed, it would be back on his person pretty quickly after the bath, never leaving his sight. Priests and Holy Relics, can't really separate them after all ;)
 
If we are able to flee, the fight isn't going South for real. If the fight goes South, Chejop Kejak will use Border of Kaleidoscopic Logic Style to bring us all to his little mind-space where he can kill or control us at his leisure. We will not get a chance to run, if we do, it will be because he lets us run, and I don't see that happening.


If Rose were to step up to Tiger right now, in the Bathouse, would he leave his martial readiness stance to stop her from taking the arrow?
 
Anti-Keyword charms shut down most of the more powerful Sidereal Martial Arts Charms, Tiger has all of them. Or just a Perfect Dodge, which Tiger also has.


And yes, this isn't really an Incarnate-grade threat. This is a bunch of Exalts having a spat. (A potentially highly lethal spat, but still). You can still use the arrow and a key point in your argument, however, mentioning how we've been personally vetted by Luna and how she'll likely be mighty pissed if anything were to happen to us.
 
Oh, wait, this entire debate is moot anyway. Luna said that in order to use the arrow it had to be shot at the moon in the dead of night. We're indoors, and I don't think having the moon in the sky of Yu-Shan counts the same as the moon in the night sky of creation.
 
The usefulness of Anti-Keyword charms and perfect dodges is entirely dependent on whether Sherwood takes the charms in Scroll of the Monk as read, because those keywords have to a very large extent been left out.


This is a declaration of open war in Yu-Shan. Plus, if the Goddess of Bureaucracy dies, how much work do you think they'll be able to get done?


That said, Rose is really, really hoping that they won't need to fire the arrow.


1) They don't know that.


2) Skylight! Alternatively, I can Wyld stunt a skylight into existance.


2) With Luna ahead in the games, the moon is visible above them and with a Wyld Stunt that should bring the arrow to the same place as it would otherwise have gone.
 
Perfect defenses trump everything, even things that claim to trump perfect defenses. They're rather useful like that ;)


And still, this isn't really something that qualifies the use of the arrow. Not unless an overwhelming and unparalleled threat appears or a bunch of people start yelling at Tiger to "Use the fucking arrow!".
 
Have you read A Song of Ice and Fire/Seen Game of Thrones?


Assuming you have, think of the Sidereals as the Wall, sure if the Wall falls when no one's on our doorstep, it doesn't have much of an immediate impact, however, if it falls, we'll be screwed in six months. And in Rose's (and mine) eyes, it's far better to make sure that it doesn't fall than use our one-use-only item to stop the first invasion, because what about the next one?


However, these are not actually pertinent questions. The crux of the matter is, would Tiger allow Rose to take the arrow in the heat of the moment? If so, I'll change my post to reflect that, if not, I'll come up with another stunt.
 
I can't really think of a way how she could take it without Tiger reflexively defending against it (and possibly offering a counter attack), given the rather tense situation we have going on at the moment. Sorry.
 
Again, sorry. I know it would be really really useful it would be in this situation, but I really can't bring myself to justify it's use against something that's not cataclysmic. :(
 
[grumbles] ...Fine, just don't actually use it. And give it back when you're done!


And treat it respectfully!


And don't scratch it!


And have it home by 10!


...ignore that last one.
 
Just for clarification.. Sash gave us the "Anathema" talk a while back, right? Trying to remember how much Storm would know about the way the Realm views/treats Solars.
 
Wow. I go to bed, and suddenly, two pages of OOC comes up. Lets see what else I missed.
