Are you guys going to have Filial lead the scouting expedition? Also, which of the areas are you going to go to? I have plans for each.

Please keep in mind that Ryu is pretty useless in a fight.

What authority do the Solars (as a group) have in Heaven? Do they have the legal right to show up and start giving orders.

No. Filial will communicate with the scouting group via Ryu's DB Vermillion Wind (assuming that's cool with you MrSerious) back at the Tower, who will relay information to Rin. Rin will keep the Sleeper group informed, who will have Unyielding Ingsan with them. This way, we will have three-way Wind-Carried Words Technique messaging going on at all time providing updates.
As far as which area we're going to - that has yet to be decided. Probably something to figure out IC, though OOC discussion is not bad.

I don't actually think Rose's presence is a determining factor in Filial's trustworthiness. So, he could go with the explorers if you'll have him. He's also an elder Dawn caste, those are handy.

Uh. Rin was going with a different group to Ryu but its all good.

I believe your essence level dictates how much respect you are accorded in Yu-Shan, even if you can't actually give orders. The higher essence the better.MrSerious said:

Aolars have no formal power in Yu-Shan. We domt even have a standing invitation.

If we're going to send FW anywhere, send him with the Sleeper group. I'd rather keep the explorer group as stealthy as possible. If we run across something nasty, it's less likely we'll disturb it and therefore we have a better chance to regroup and decide how to tackle it.

Sorry, I should have clarified that better. Rin is going with a different group - Storm's group. Rin can let the Sleeper group know what's up as we explore as you guys will have Unyielding Ingsan with you, and vice versa.MrSerious said:

Can you tell me which book says that? I've always wondered how Solars could/should/would interact with Yu-Shan.Esbilon said:

Serious, legally only Celestials of ess 6+ are allowed into heaven, and all eclipses are welcome, but how much of pull we can get by showing our solar badges is uncertain.

CoCD: Yu-Shan and possibly MoEP: Sidereals. Probably more of the former than the latter.JayTee said:

This. I'm fairly certain it's stated in CoCD: Yu-Shan. Good thing both Rose and Tiger are E6.

And naturally I don't have that book. Oh well.

[QUOTE="Lord-Leafar]Ok, then let's have Rose and Filial guard the tower, contact the Sids and wait for the celestial entourage.
Aurora, L'Ron and Ryu go talk to the sleepers. FW
Rin, Storm and Whisper explore, sounds good?
[/QUOTE]
So, we add FW to the Sleepers (emphasis is mine). Who else is going where?

Each group needs someone with some crafting ability to disarm and overcome any first age defenses. The Sleeper group needs someone who can talk to the Dragon Kings, the explorers need a fighter and all need a method of communication.

Sash is our ticket into heaven without fuss. But even without her, Rose could probably sweet talk tje lions ;-)

Serious: Also, I need Ryu with me in case there are traps that require a crafty guy to disable, if combat breaks out I'll protect you.

I'll also need a IC post about Rose using the Cord to call Sash, along with what is being said if you guys want her to make an appearance during this scene. Otherwise, she will be coming back to Rathess next week.

Actually, a lot of this talk should be ic.

Heh in a face to face game of Exalted our Eclipse convinced all the celestial lions and lion dogs to form a union. Hilarity ensued.

I'd like to argue against this somewhat. Most of us ICly are 100+ years old, so our characters would have developed an instinctual understanding of what to do and how to go about doing it. Talking about things out of character and having our characters implement our plans In character feels like a good way to simulate that.Esbilon said:
