[Nightmares of the Second Age] The Daily Scribe

If you take a look at the map of Rathess, its about six to seven miles from the edge of town to the central pyramid. Leeayta's temple is close to the middle, but not quite there, and the flying towers are not quite on the outer edge. I'm getting ready to start posts for the fight. Should be up in a few minutes while I get everyone's JB rolls in order and see who goes first, then I'll work on the Tower scene.

Okay, Storm's on his way back to the Tower now. Given his travel time and the length of ticks in Mass Combat, is it reasonable to believe that he'll arrive in time for the start? Or will he join battle late?
 
Hm, I was under the impression it was closer than that. Alright, looks like its more cost-effective to flu over there on De's airship.

Same here! I was thinking a mile, maybe 1.5-2 at most.
 
Sorry. The city is pretty large, and Leeayta's temple is a significant building, and as such it is placed near the central pyramid to honor her.


I'm not going to try and run a mass combat fight with just a handful of Exalts. This is going to be more free form than technical, going by ticks for each individual player. So, Storm will arrive on scene at the back end of the attackers on tick 5. Advancing to get to the Tower itself will be a few short moves after that.
 
I have a quick question, a Gem of Perfect mobility reduces the speed of all actions by half, does that include activations of simple charms? From speed 6 to 3?

I took another look at the map, and the city is even larger than I had originally thought; more like 12-15 miles from the outer wall to the inner pyramid. But, the Flying Tower is not at the edge of the city, so the distances will stay the same.

So you're running this as normal combat, or mass combat?


Also, Ingsan is with G'Kar and the others. I never statted her up because I assumed this was something you'd want to decide on. If not, I can do so.
 
Normal combat. I haven't written her up, was just planning on using her as more plot device than character. If you want, go ahead and do so, but as a follower, she doesn't get the Essence boost that the DB Pc's did. Use a standard Dynasts' form for her, with 30 more xp.

Well, she is a Henchman(person?) rather than an Ally, so if you want to leave her unstatted and just wing her Charms/combat stats, then by all means feel free. I have no problem statting her out though, but I won't be able to have to have it done until at least sometime later tomorrow.


As far as Storm entering combat, as he is invisible (via his Armor) he will attempt to engage as close as possible to the region with the highest enemy troop density.
 
<nods> Like I said, you'll be at the rear of the enemy mass, so plan your actions accordingly.
 
Es, is it safe to assume Rose wants to be airborne pronto or should I hold off on Rin conjouring up a cloud for us?


Sherwood, do we know what aspect Hammon is? My brain is telling me water, but I don't know why.. >.<
 
Ideally, Rose and Rin could take care of Bane and Hammon respectively, but don't know how inclined they would be to fight at this point.
 
I don't believe that Hammon's Aspect ever came up, and Leafar, you just won the prize with that comment and your perception roll. Bane has vanished in the commotion around Han-Tha. I'll post that in the IC thread shortly.
 
re: Hammon, If it isn't visually obvious then 's no matter. If it is it could potentially affect Rin's plan of attack.
 
He hasn't had time to activate any Charms to kick his anima up, and his breeding is not high enough to be obvious.
 
JayTee, I'm reminded of the scene in 300 where Leonidas is hyping up his troops. "This is where we fight! This is where they die! For Sparta!"
