Over a Mug of Ale [For A Better Age]

Are we wrapping up current threads? There are some projects around town that Asyk wants to get started on, such as finding a location for the new temples to the UC, and Maiden and Horizon. With the help of some Elementals, they should be able to put up a couple of pyramids and then use other elementals to finely polish and detail the exteriors. Plus, I want to build a birdcage to safely house the younglings that are going to be comming into the town until they can be educated and have their Essence awakened. Icehome's air force is going to grow. I just didn't want to start a post on a new subject without making sure we were done with the dicipline scene, and something else was about to start.

I was Not planning on wrapping up the current threads. I’ll go ahead and post the execution scheme, and I’ll allow Asyk and Bjarn to do some other things they might want to do before throwing more stuff at them. Hope that sounds good.


Plans sound good with me.
 
"Thus ended the life of a man who did not perform his duties, an example for all to see."

Considering his actions, that's rather an understatement. More to the point. "There goes the life of the guy who fought tooth and nail because he thought it was his right to slack off mid war."


It's still a rather grim end. Makes me uncomfortable about my own procrastinating though. Eeesh.
 
Axelgear, I thought you were an exalted of (twilight equivalent) aren't they exalted by She Who Lives In Her Name?

Their exaltations belong to the Principle of Hierarchy, but any Reclamation Architect can pull one out of the Phylactery and use it.
 
Yeah, the Exaltations are marked by more than just their patron. SWLIHN is the patron of the caste, but they all contain different urges.


In other words, it's possible to be sponsored by Malfeas, despite being a Malefactor, or by the Ebon Dragon despite being a Scourge, or by, as is Calypso's case, Adorjan despite being a Defiler.


Also, Calypso is likely to get very upset about Bjarn and Asyk's actions when she finds out about it. Depending on how they deal with her anger, possibly even violent. Interesting drama to be had.
 
I got a new job so my schedule has been thrown off, especially since it is at 3am in the morning. Also, tomorrow is my birthday. I should be jumping in soon. Sorry for the delays, I'm usually quite punctual.
 
Ahm...Hello everyone. I'm Inari, and I was kindly offered a place here by Axelgear and Archivist. I play Narrante, and suppose I'm the new resident Night caste of the game.


It's nice to meet you all.

Welcome, glad to meet you.
 
Hey guys, another question for everyone (make sure to comment on the Exalted NPC!). I was considering using the mass combat rules for the upcoming battle, and was wanting to check if that is what everyone would like to do, or if everyone would prefer to handle the battle like I did for the initial clash with the Varajtul?


I can do either, but I would just like to know for this and future battles so I know what stats I need to have ready for the battles.
 
I have never tried mass combat before, so if we do that it will be a learning expierence for me. I'm game to give it a try.
 
I think Mass combat would be good to play.


It makes keeping track of enemy numbers easier, but the counter is it makes the exalted look even more impressive since we don't kill just one person per single attack we take swathes out of large enemy units ;)


Makes an exalt look much grander ;)


I don't have much experience with Mass Combat either it will be good to go over the rules in a practical sense instead of having a vague knowledge from reading the rules.
 
Not sure if Narrante would be involved in this when she's just arrived, but if she does wind up a part of it, mass combat seems fine...I've never had any actual combat experience, but I'll try and read up some today.
 
T'other advantage of mass combat is that all the Social and War Charms with long tick Speedsbecome a lot more useful...
 
I'm back, baby!


So Archie, been meaning to ask for a bit, just what Backgrounds have we picked up for our takeover and spontaneous religious conversion of the city of Icehold?
 
Oh, yeah! We should be getting some effect from having a cult praying to us, and some other good stuff to go with it.
 
Yes…you guys should be getting some goodies for taking over Icehold. How about this? Of those who took over Icehold:


1. 3 dots in Cult. Icehold is a large city (likely in the range of a population of 200,000), and effectively a city-state in its own right in addition to the Valhal people to boot.


2. 1 dot in Followers. For Bjarn he will likely have new followers joining his Fangs of the Gale. For everyone else the reasons are likely going to vary. Jorik probably has some loyal bureaucrats given to him by Duke Walks to help him, Asyk probably has some loyal militia officers now following him, we will probably have to work something reasonable out for Calypso and Anoke. This stat is probably going to rise in time as you guys get more established in Icehold. If you guys want something specific for your characters just say so and we can work something out.


3. 2 dots Influence in Icehold.


4. 2 dots Resources. This is based on the immediate resources and support the Icehold government can give you guys.


The new Exalted in the group will likely get most of this once their fellows get them established in Icehold.

Also all the PCs have been invited to a dinner party hosted by Contractor. Feel free to post for that in Chapter 2-4: Arrival and New Faces. Should be a good opportunity to get the new PCs to meet the rest of the Circle and start to get into the action.
 
Anoke being followed by acolytes would make sense; a group of priests dedicated to the Sun viewing him as a living saint.


Or accoutants.


Or a biker gang.
 
So I get a following of paper pushers.


Well the accountant club is in session, did everyone bring their quill's?
 
Should get them all Buff Jackets with "Audit Unit" Etched into front and back.


Badges and a theme song. Then get it produced by Jerry Bruckheimer.
