[Nightmares of the Second Age] The Daily Scribe

I have a mild interest in going West. I've yet to visit it in an Exalted game, and I'd love to give those Survival Charms a workout. That said, I can also check out the Pyramid of the Sun as well. That's something of interest to Tiger.
 
<nods nods> Ok, I'll put Tiger down as a possible for either thread. Going for the Titan that's underwater has its own share of issues, not the least of which is, how do you get to it, with all that water in the way? Then, assuming you want it back at Rathess to support the city, you'll need a minimum amount of crew to get it there across Creation. That would be one hell of a attention getter, having a Titan fly over the Blessed Isle.
 
Element Resisting Prana lets me laugh at mundane environmental hazards, like being five miles under water. The latter might be an issue, though. ;)
 
That will get you down there, but the full crew of a Titan is 4,000 people trained on its operation. Noted, you can probably automate much of its flight controls, since there is a AI helping to run the place, but its like trying to fly the Enterprise with just one member of the bridge crew. Possible, but very difficult. Even a skeleton crew is going to be at least a hundred people, preferably Essence users that have Craft training to help get the Titan out of mothball status.
 
Yeah, on my own I don't think there's anything I can do to bring the Titan online and get it over to Rathess. I'd have to bring something with me or make prior arrangements.
 
There are several very Crafty members of the Circle that would love that kind of challenge, though. Its just going to be a struggle to break them free from their other toys that they are playing with right now.
 
I would be interested in the Titan, reworking the Heart of Rathess to fit an AI, getting my own team of flunkies essence powered artisans together to do all the infrastructure work, crafting something unique like that Heart (hint hint Lefear :D )
 
Which Titan? The underwater one, or the one in/under Mount Metagalapa? The first is probably uninhabited, but the second comes with a nice bunch of potential recruits for the Cause.
 
De'aneir'a can 'hopefully' just help people to their respective Titan's. She may investigate the western one, while others go for the Eastern one. (Of course I discount the possibility of travel via Yu Shan Gate. xD )
 
Ok, here is what I have so far:


1) Skadi and Blossom spending time recruiting the local tribes to your side.


2) Investigating the Pyramid of the Sun for what's in the closed rooms. - Tiger?


3) Continued contact and recon in Chaing-Dav, trying to recruit Tepet Ejava away from the invasion plans. - Grond


4) Training the army, including capturing more Dragon Kings and Awakening their Essence. - Athaclenna, Rose, Storm


5) The supply run to Jades and setting up future deliveries - L'Ron


6) Work on the Rathess infrastructure to get the basic utilities running, along with the tram system - Ryu's flunkies Essence powered Artisans


7) Continued contact with potential allies in Yu-Shan to recruit more people and gods to your side - Sash


8) Getting Aurora into a leadership position in the Aerial Legion


9) Investigate Mount Metagalapa for the presence of the Directional Titan - Ryu, De'aneir'a


10) Going way out West to find the one hidden underwater. - Tiger, Skadi, De'aneir'a


11) Whisper going to Yu-Shan to see Lytek - Rose


12) Establish contact with Mi-Ha-Suchi - Skadi, Maverick


Don't forget you guys have a moderate amount of control over the various NPCs. If you want one, such as Wren or Grond, to take care of a particular project, just let me know.
 
We earlier mentioned we might have to deal with Ma-Ha-Suchi before setting up a reliable supply line...


And speaking of elder Lunars, Skadi will express an interest in going West as well...as she noted earlier, Admiral Leviathan was a colleague of her husband's (he was Admiral of the North Fleet) and it might be...pleasant to see him, and hear his tale of survival.


(Especially if she's encountered Ma-Ha-Suchi -- she'll be very glad to meet with someone who didn't turn into a goat.)
 
Whisper will need an escort to Yu-Shan, and Rose wants to hear what Lytek can tell her about her new Mate, so that seems like a decent match.


Rose also wants to get to the Roseblack's army, both to help Storm convince her and to get her tens of dragonblooded more favourably minded towards solars. Solar Socialize GOGOGO!


Rose is also our number one Dragon King Awakener, she just needs five hours with them sometime during a week and they're good to go.


We may also want to look into getting ahold of the Five Metal Shrike, it's much easier to move here than the underwater Titan.
 
The Shrike might be fun. Catching it even more fun, convincing it... Not sure? But ground and air fun for all. xD Not sure if I should test the not N/A Infinite Star Saber against the N/A Shrike.
 
Sure, right after we've tested these awesome new body armors against a Proto-Shinmaic Vortex or Soulbreaker Orb.
 
So it looks like thread 1 will be Skadi going to be making contact with Mi-Ha-Suchi while working her magic on the local tribes. I tasked Grond to help out with that. Would Maverick like to join that trip?


Thread 2 is Storm and Rose going to make nice with the army, unless Rose wants to go to Yu-Shan first.


Thread 3 looks like De' and Ryu nosing around Mount Metagalapa.
 
Depending on the situation with Heaven, Aurora will be spending her time gathering up allies in Yu-Shan, but if time permits she would like to see the Realm Army as well.
 
Storm will be training the troops as well. Rose probably doesn't need to worry about going with him to Chiang-Dav until we have a signal for


If you can tell us, how long will Ejava take to announce she wants the meeting? If it will be more than a day or two, Storm would head back to Rathess and ask Grond to perform scouting duties in Chiang-Dav until the Ejava gives the signal.
 
I'm now wondering whether it's worth investing in Lunar training Charms. Lesson of the Winter Wolf has a ridiculous number of prerequisites, but the ability to fear-proof an army could be valuable indeed...
 
Sherwood Would it be possible for two or more different users of a Training charm stack their efforts while training different traits on a same army? For example, if Storm and Aurora were both to use Tiger Warrior Training Technique, for a total of 10 hours of training a week, but let's say Storm focuses on raising the Dexterity trait of the unit, while Aurora focuses on raising the Melee rating of the unit, would that be ok? Because if that's the case, then I'll have Aurora speed up the training process and invest my experience onto that rather than on anything else.

Possibly, at least if someone with Heroism-Encouraging Practice isn't leading the unit. If you think Skadi might ever lead a unit, then it's a worthy investment - perhaps not immediately, but eventually for sure.

Of course, I'm not Sherwood. But there's my 2 cents if you're interested.
