[Nightmares of the Second Age] The Daily Scribe

Bearing in mind the xp cost of Essence 7 and the power of an artifact given by the Unconquered Sun Himself, one could argue that such an increase would not be entirely unreasonable O:)
 
Sooo.... anyone got any ideas on what to get for Rose? I'm definitely taking


8 Investigation 2->4


8 Evidence-Discerning Method


but beyond that, I'm not certain. Different paths I've considered are:


Linguistics


8 2nd Linguistics Excellency


8 Flawless Brush Discipline


3 +1 Solo Performances (Performance specialty)


Bureaucracy (if the honoureably Storyteller will let me go 1 xp in debt)


8 2nd Bureaucracy Excellency


4 Bureaucracy 1->3


8 Speed the Wheels


Socialize


8 Mastery of Small Manners


8 Shining in Every Eye Attitude


3 +1 Solo Performances (Performance specialty)
 
XP is cool (if it even applies for non solars?), but I'd really just like to do some crafting and fixing of rathess and all that.
 
@Feantari, perhaps a post detailing your character's actions to that effect would be a better lead-in to drama. While an intention to craft and fix is very much appreciated, it's not the sort of thing that inspires a lot of roleplaying without awesome stunting accompanying it :)
 
@Esbilon: I would say you start getting Bureaucracy, some of those charms will be useful when we solidify a network of trade lines with the different nations around us so we can get the most of it in the shortest amount of time, and to ally ourselves with the guild while molding it to our purposes.


@Feantari : Keep in mind that the life of a crafter is very situational, I suggest you post a thread with the charms you use and the effects you can accomplish in a given amount of time, put goals (fix the tramway, fix the water lines, fix whatever) and with the amount of time that has passed start ticking off what you have done in that time with the charms/tools/artifacts at your disposal. MrSerious could add to that list as well with his own charms and goals later on.
 
Holy fuck, I have posted her actions. Crafting doesn't happen in a vacuum either. Clearly it needs another separate thread but I would feel like a bit of a jerk usurping Sherwood's system. I'm just not getting anything from Sherwood either IC or OOC so I'm not really sure what to do other than mention things here and hope.
 
Fean, I don't quite know what to say. I don't want to make a game to leave out some of the players, but I'm not quite sure what you are looking for to be able to deliver a storyline that will hook you and give you the satisfaction that you are looking for. I am quite open to ideas to help keep everyone engaged.
 
Well, she's trying to get back in touch with the goddess of rathess to get the plans and get things moving in the factory cathedral (and because I like characters with ties to people rather than just execute goal a and then goal b, etc). In addition to that though there are a few crafting projects as well as general making sure people have what they need (fixing the infrastructure, essence power, etc). Projects include an automated mobile sentry drone system, wards and anti espionage upgrades for the tower and fixing the big defense golem.


Don't get me wrong, she wants to be part of the larger picture, but her squishiness and skill set is going to have her in rathess at least some of the time with her head occupied with projects. Is that ok? The motivation at this point is making sure nothing goes wrong with the visit from lookshy and that the best foot is put forward. (hence the don't spy on us stuff and the not getting ambushed by crazy city creatures stuff and trying to get the factory running so we can show it off and stuff.
 
Speaking of future complications.... O:)


...here is Skadi's sinister grandmother, Lady Ellith (now Queen Ellith of the Turrets of the Ice Blossom, but Skadi doesn't know that yet) :

Also, would the date on the orders happen to be around the time our good friend Chejop Kejak became an even bigger dick than he regularly is?
 
Let me double check the wording on the Charm to make sure I give you the right info, but yes, the dates are directly in line with the incident in Yu-Shan with Chejop.
 
What you get is that Ejava is an intensely loyal member of the Realm, but she is tired of being a puppet in the political maneuverings of those struggling for power to claim the throne. She is aware that if she were to raise her banner for the position of Empress, it would cause a civil war of unimaginable proportions, and wants to protect both the people of her command and the lives of the people of the Blessed Isle that would be lost in such a cataclysm.
 
That should probably have been in the IC thread, but oh, well.
 
I was so happy that the game was going again that I completely forgot the continued frustration of actually expecting updates ;)


Go @Sherwood! And know that your effort is appreciated.
 
I'll make some posts this weekend now that I'm off work for a few days. It gives me time to plot some evil!
 
So, what's next on our To-Do List? We still have jungle people drifting into Rathess, Ma-Ha-Suchi for a next-door neighbor, the Mask of Winters sitting like Orcus on his throne, Chejop Kejak running around plotting mischief, and that water dragon and hawk god are still squatting in Skadi's old treehouse. ;)
 
Find Kejak, give him one more chance to join us. If that doesn't work, punch him in to a new incarnation.
 
You'll have to clean up his messes, too. Having a pet Sidereal is a big responsibility. ;)
 
Just a heads up that my posting may be sporadic for the next week. I'm heading to my grand parents and I'm not sure of their internet capabilities.
 
Enjoy your time with the family, and we'll be here when you get back.
