Over a Mug of Ale [For A Better Age]

I'm at the most tedious part for me, charm and artifact selection. Couple of double check things.


I have 149 XP to spend: 50 from chargen, 90 catch up, 5 from picture and 4 from background, right?

Looks good.
 
Sorry for the recent delay. Work was just unexpectedly busy the last few days. Anyways.


I’m thinking we are about at the point of moving onto the next group of threads. Specifically I plan on splitting the group between two threads. One that will deal with Bjarn’s raid, and another to deal with Duke Walks wanting to ask for assistance from the Dragon-Blooded of Diamond Refuge and possibly some other problems in Icehold.


So I would like everyone to post here which thread they would like their character to be in. I figure Momo’s character would best fit in the thread that will still be in Icehold once Momo is finished creating him.


For raid I figure Bjarn is going to be bringing along a scale of Valhal, a scale of Militia, and a Fang of Vanessa’s mercenaries. Plus any Exalted or NPCs you guys wish to bring along.
 
New Infernals stuff next month! EEEEE! New charms, new Yozis (Kimbery is confirmed), maybe new paths to transcendence and artifacts?


Personally, I'm hoping for guidelines to make a new First (Yozi) Excellency...


Edit: As for what's coming up next, I'd like to explore Calypso taking a primer in sorcery. Now seems as good a time as any, and I'm not too sure about her going on a raid or to plead for help. The former seems like a potential waste of her talents (and distasteful), the latter seems like something she'd make even more difficult ("Hey, we're a group of Anathema. This is our Dragon King and Yozi Jr").
 
Asyk would probably go with the raid to see how his training has taken hold.
 
Keikan's likely to go either way, though he'd probably lean more towards the raid if offered the chance though, as he'd probably royally screw up diplomatic relations, not being the most tactful of people.


So yeah. If he runs into Bjarn or gets exposed to the chance, probably raid. If circumstances keep him with present company, likely headed to Diamond Refuge.


Of course, there's also the matter of the Malfean Bomb Scavenger Hunt...
 
Well, getting to Malfeas isn't likely to happen for a few months of in-game time. Calypso has to refine her Essence and her plans first; no point going until you are reasonably sure you can make it work. Even then, there's the matter of not just getting there but getting back. Calypso might conceivably make getting there easy with Hellwalker Technique, but that'd make getting back unreliable at the best of times.


Frankly, I don't actually know any ways for them to get back from Malfeas to Icehold, apart from traveling out of Cecelyne to wherever they end up in Creation and then using flight magic to cover the journey back, but we could end up needing to go all the way across Creation at that point.


In short, further research is needed on this point.
 
....Ok. Just how much in game time would there be before these blue furred cannibals actually attack the city?
 
The impression that I got was to expect an attack at any time.
 
So here is what I am looking at for new threads to start up soon.


Bjarn’s Raid


Bjarn


Asyk


Keikan (most likely)


Diamond Refuge Talks


Jorik


Anoke


Because she is awkward


Calypso learning sorcery


Unknown


Narrante


Impact of the Twice Taut Chain


Naturally other, unexpected things might happen with each of these threads. Depending on a number of factors


Since the beginning of this chapter the Varajtul were likely to attack in a number of days. No one really knows how big the horde is, so it is not know what the point of critical mass is. I was basically leaving it up a bit to plot time to spring the Varajtul attack.


I was planning on Duke Walks contacting Diamond Refuge either through sorcery or some artifact or another (haven’t decided on that specific plot point), and whatever Diamond Refuge DB’s would likely arrive through sorcery to get to Icehold in time.


Gathering the hell bomb ingredients will take place after the big battle with the Varajtul. Likely covered during the next time skip.


I’m going to work at getting the new threads up either Saturday or Sunday.
 
Looks good to me. Eventually Asyk will be learning sorcery also, but probably not before the fight starts up.
 
Got the new threads up. Hope that gets everyone started.


I’m fine if Morkais and Inari want to keep up their private discussion in the thread that is happening in. Just didn’t see much of a reason to hold up the entire plot for it.


Inari: I didn’t see a response on what you wanted Narrante to do for the new threads. Either to say help with Bjarn’s raid, or some private activity like what Calypso has going. So I would like to have some idea of what you would like Narrante to do.
 
Sorry, I didn't think to check this thread for a while...


I'm not really sure where to put Narrante in all that. There doesn't seem to be anything that requires her particular talents, unless someone has to steal the Hell ingredients...Suppose she could join in on the raid without too much trouble, or hang around with Calypso. Not really sure what's going on with her, but she'd probably gravitate towards trying to befriend the only other girl she's seen in the group. Though she was a bit put off by the whole bomb thing, to say the least...
 
I’ve decided to add Narrante to Calypso’s thread. I added a segue to get her into the events in that thread, so feel free to befriend away.
 
So Calypso is now using sorcery. I'm just wondering, when do we get our next XP splurge? I want to know to budget here. Is it now, or do we wait until just before the Varajtul attack?
 
From the currently completed threads everyone will earn 63 Experience. I figure I’ll hand that out now so that we are less likely to have a major holdup with experience spending when I hand out more experience before the big battle.
