[Nightmares of the Second Age] The Daily Scribe

If MoW has his way, Rose will be his new toy to play with for many years.
 
If there is no objections, we shall be moving onwards with the story. I want to see the fight between Aurora, Tiger and MoW.

I must have missed it. After all, despite my Unstoppable Cosmic Power, I am only human. Please refresh my memory?

[QUOTE="Lord-Leafar]Before we move any further, I must ask....any exp awards???? :tongue:

Greedy bastards. Ok, I guess that I can part with a few more points.
 
Huzzah!


Are we going to handwave chatting with the Roseblack again, and go straight to meeting Mnemoon? And will that be simoultaneous wth beginning the war proper with the Mask?

Drop the dodge stuff, put the points/charms elsewhere

Ah, yes. Now I remember. A few minor tweaks are allowed, just don't try to rewrite your whole sheet, ok?

I had hoped to have all the characters present for the confrontation with MoW, but if you have another plan, feel free to run with it. We can fast forward some of the meeting with Ejava, but the meeting with Empress Mnemon will have to be played out. The various generals of the coalition want at least three months to get the various factions talking to each other, so if you are done on the Blessed Isle in that time, you can take your spot as MoW's new plaything.
 
I'd prefer being in Thorns when the battle comes, I just thought it was more urgent than that, so cool :)


Rose would prefer not being anyone's plaything, but if she was sufficiently convinced of her ability to do so, she might acquiesce to pretend.
 
Oh, and I definitely want to see the Imperial City IC, and Mnemon in particular. I'm guessing Sash has a way to get a (semi-)private audience, but Rose could conceivably arrange something for herself. She is very persuasive ;)
 
Sherwood, I need to ask, how do you want to deal with the whole army mobilizing thing, are we gonna use Mass combat? or a mix of personal and mass? I might get one more War charm if needed depending on what route we take? Also, do you need me to do some rolls for the strategy planning and whatnot?
 
I was pondering how to deal with this. I was hoping to have the army march in the background, and let the PCs do their thing as they work their way to the encounter with MoW Abyssals and the big guy himself. You'll have several Exalts in charge of the mass combat, so you don't need to worry about War Charms, unless you want to go down that road.
 
Cool! So a few things to consider, pretty much any main enemy will be played out individually, which would be Juggernaut, all the Abyssals on his service, and the big bad MoW himself, plus any nasty surprises you might have in store for us, plenty for Tiger and Aurora to deal with.


There is however at least 1 or 2 charms that I want to use for the general mass combat, the first one is Heroism Encouraging Presence, since we're gonna need high valor for this battle against all those undead horrors, and Mob Dispersing Rebuke, to force the lowest of the lowest to scatter and let our armies crush them without much opposition. The last charm that I might use, depending on how the battle fares and my essence reserves are doing, is Sharp Light of Judgement Stance, basically my own little nuke charm, which I would prefer to use before resorting to pulling out the big guns like the Leviathan or the Titan, and risk affecting too much of the local geomancy.


But, if using such weapons might be beneficial in weakening the geomancy of the shadowland and or the Manses in Thorns, I'll definitely want to do that to gain an upper hand in that regard. So I definitely want to keep that in mind for the battle plan.
 
So with Mahasuchi having gone AWOL, I'm thinking of putting those dodge points/charms in to stealth or larceny to give us access to a secondary ninja (with Skadi being our primary). On the other hand, I was also thinking of putting those and charms in to my social skills to further aid my role as the Unconquered Sun's agent in Creation.


Thoughts?
 
Mmmm, both are good options, but in the end it comes to what you feel more comfortable playing, a suggestion from my side though would be to focus on the Investigator/Truth Seeker aspect, more particularly, awareness and Eye of the Unconquered Sun. It would make me feel much more safe to know that no illusions, disguises and or trickery can get past our circle with that charm in your possession.
 
Eye of the Unconquered Sun is one of those charms that I've found to be cool but overpriced for what it does. All my detecting charms in Investigation and Occult, plus my immunity to UMI (and by proxy, illusions) via Integrity, mean I can more or less get the same results, plus extra (although I welcome counter-arguments to this).


I think I'll go the social rout. As useful as it might be to the circle to have another ninja, it seems to go against Tiger's thematics to have sneaky stuff on his charm list.
 
So I just realized I have 46 XP saved up somehow. After I do my retooling, do I have time to spend some of that before we fight the Mask of Winters?
 
No. You may never, ever spend your points! I give them out to you just to listen to your cries of frustration at wanting stuff and not being able to get it! Hahaha! I am evil to the core!


Hmm. Ok, on second thought, I guess I'll be nice, just this once and let you spend a point or two.


Seriously, go ahead, just so long as its not another bump in your Essence level.
