[Nightmares of the Second Age] The Daily Scribe

Well, she's already stated what she intends to do, as regards the Abyssal and his entourage. Unless she or one of her watchers (one dot in Celestial Air, or better still, two dots in Clear Air should be enough to catch most mischief) observes a breach of the agreement, she'll hold up her end, to the point of dining with the "ambassador". Of course, this situation inhibits her from going very far from Rathess, in case something goes sour. She'll have to leave shepherding the jungle tribes to Blossom and Shining Flower for the moment.


So unless she receives another unexpected guest, she'll probably be training herself in military maneuvers alongside and against Dragon Kings, goblins and anyone else she can catch, until either the others return or she gets so bored she goes monster-hunting in the undercity and gets eaten. :D
 
FYI for Sherwood Authority Radiating Stance means anyone with a Dodge MDV less than my Presence (5) considers me to have authority over them. Or something like that ;)
 
As good as the whole Pure Dragon Blood emissary approach sounds, these Lookshy people need a shock so they can take us seriously and with greater haste, I say we shine our caste marks and go solar power on them, offering an alliance on the terms that we can help them restore their factory cathedral to full functionality, as long as they will support us when cleaning Thorns from their Underworld overlord.
 
Its your call to make, but I will point out that right now, the ball is in your court to make a move. The counselwoman is willing to work with you, but you guys are being coy by not wanting to reveal anything about Rathess yet. She can't help you without some information from you.
 
We need to figure out how they feel about solars, but there is not really any polite way of doing that. Suggestions?
 
No no, flaring animas is too rude, I say let's just be sincere about the whole thing "Look miss Bennet, we're about to tell you something that could potentially put our lives in risk, let me reassure you that by telling you this we have no intentions to start any kind of problem with your city, on the contrary, we think we can be of great help to you, if you're willing to accept our aid.


We are Solar Exalted, those the Realm call Anathema. We assure you that our purpose here is merely diplomatic, and we trust that the 7th Legion is not the zealous fanatic the Realm has proved to be, that is why we have come to you with an offer, we have the means to restore your Factory Cathedral to full functionality, and we will do so, if Lookshy is willing to ally itself with us"


If they need proof, we can flare our caste marks, and Aurora could show them her celestial battle armor, telling them it was produced in our own Factory Cathedral (even if it's not entirely true), just to make a point.
 
I was thinking that we could talk about the anathema (DKs, siddies and akumas (GSPs)) that are out to get us and use them to gauge whether they are considered a threat or an evil abomination by the Lookshyans.


Amusingly, my version should be presented by Aurora and yours by Rose ;)
 
Mmm, I don't see much reason to blurt out info about other Anathema, it just might bring unwanted questions and suspicion on us, let's just be honest about the whole thing and hope for the best, obviously we don't know IC how they treat Solars, but we have approached them through the established means they have set, we come unarmed, and we put ourselves at risk by doing so (not really, but you get my point), I think the worst that can happen is "No, we don't deal with Anathema, please leave our city"

I think you need to recalibrate your worst-case-scenario-generator, but sure, sounds like fun :)


Since we haven't planned this ahead of time, I think it suits Aurora better than Rose, based on their respective virtues, so you should go ahead and post it, and I'll back you up when I get home.
 
[QUOTE="Lord-Leafar]If they do attack us, the worst end of the deal will be on them, we on the other hand gain a city and lots of loot. ;)

Don't forget the brainwashed followers! Unless you count them as 'loot.'
 
I am Genre Savvy, and will not let you tie me up with your dwarf, er, Mountain Folk-made chain! Not even if you stick your hand in my mouth! Especially not if you stick your hand in my mouth! ;)
