Over a Mug of Ale [For A Better Age]

If I have picked up on this properly, I think the "because" of that statement is a meaningful omission, but only if they threw him overboard because of why I think they did and were able to. I could be wrong, but you had some pretty strong hints, and BTW I approve (not that my approval is such a big deal).
 
Sherwood: Snowflake should have asked about both Bjarn and Volund (stupid sleep deprivation). Remember, Asyk told Volund to stick around to wait for Bjarn and Keikan until the Varajtul got close enough to be a danger or Asyk shot off his arrow. Though in my next post on that thread at least a couple of you are going to find out Volund has shipped off due to stray groups of Varajtul getting too pushy.


Rereading through the charm once again, and reading Tableface and Momo’s advice, I’m going to have to agree that a meaningful omission was made on the Valhal’s part, so for the charm Calypso gets a negative. Editing my post in the game thread (which I will probably erase when Axel edits his post).
 
For a second I thought Volund stayed behind to be a hero, which could certainly lead to cool happenings that may have been discussed in a thread... maybe.

Stop reading my Storyteller notes! M-my plot can’t be that obvious…can it? Awww… :cry:


(Or events could be progressing in an orderly, logical fashion. Or these are just the mad ravings of a madman. You decide.)
 
I'm not a madman!


e: just saw the latest post in the raid thread... I'll keep to myself a bit more.


double edit: that doesn't mean that I am not liking the goings on. Thoroughly enjoying.


omg stop editing edit: your plots aren't transparent, I think there is just the right amount of hinting to where if you are paying attention you can get excited about things to come, but there are still surprises.
 
Denying your madness is the first sign of being a madman! :shock:
 
A plot's better if there's a mix of foreshadowed events and unexpected twists. All twists, all the time can get frustrating.


EDIT: And like I said in the other post, while I had a suspicion this might be happening, it's good for Plot.


I particularly like the parallel with Bjarn's Exaltation. "Go! Save yourselves!"
 
Double post for reasons of time passing between this and the previous post.


I totally forgot about the armoury artifacts- when Bjarn gets back to Icehold, would an Orichalcum Thunderbolt Shield (O's Codex, p35) be available for him to pick up? It's just the thing for this DV-tanking-followed-by-reflexive-attacks thing he seems to be building up...

I would be cool with Bjarn picking that up when he gets the chance to.
 
What, no spontaneous appearances of artifacts in the middle of the sea?


:P


EDIT: White hair, black eyes... Polar bear?


Whatever his totem is, I can just tell that this is the beginning of three thousand years of Bjarn mocking Volund for being too old...
 
Shit....Ofran goes Infernal with a Teodozjia coadjutator. This can't be good. Probably doubly so if he runs into Keikan.

*Ding, ding,* cookie for you. And now Volund has a few thousand more years to keep being called an old man. Well at least now he should be able to keep up.

That could lead to some unpleasantness. :twisted:


I'm thinking here soon, probably within the next day or two, I'm going to have the fleet arrive back in the Icehold to find everyone has been quite busy since they have been gone.
 
Just realised (and of course, Bjarn doesn't know this)- Volund's not a Full Moon yet.


Are we gonna get entangled in Silver Pact politics...?


EDIT: Scourges argh argh argh.
 
Someone from the Pact will be showing up sometime soon to set his tatoos, I'm sure. They can read the stars to see a pending Exalt well enough.
 
Unless the Hunt get here first.


In which case... well, what are we up to at the moment? Four Solars, a Lunar, an Alchemical (who may not want to get involved) and an Infernal?


If they're just expecting one inexperienced Lunar, it won't go well for 'em...
 
And once again, no love for the Dragon King! Oh, woe is me! :cry:

If we're posting hilarious youtube links...
 
I know I always have to work to keep remembering to say Dragon King in addition to Exalted in every scene Asyk is in.


Also I'm letting Bjarn, Asyk, and Keikan into the Icehold based thread considering they have pretty much wrapped up their raid. Though you can continue your banter with each other. Just thought I should get you back to the city to help finish up dealing with the mess there and keep the plot going.
 
Sorry for he double post but-


Archie and I have been hashing out how to best integrate Chain into the party, and I summed it up in this wall-o-text:


It probably won't be a quick, "and now you are part of the circle" sort of thing. I have an idea for chain to be better introduced in the current scene by hanging around and, well, asking to be introduced by Graven. I was thinking having him be around when things are going down, kind of as a side character, like how Volund and Graven have been in many scenes, making himself more and more apparent, distinguishing himself by working side by side with the Exalted, until he has endeared himself to them and they have become endeared to him, then some boat rocking with "REDACTED BY THE DIVISION OF SECRETS", and then maybe after that, "Oh, btw, I am an Exalt from another section of reality". I was thinking two or more scenes before the first revelation, and then the second one could just come out whenever.


I also said- I just need to make sure I distinguish Chain in every scene, not like in a "look at my awesome character way" but "hey this guy is valuable, we should keep him close and around" sort of way


basically, TL;DR It's kinda like having the Sidereal hiding in a resplendant destiny in the group. He just seems like a really impressive part of the band, until secret is revealed
 
Sounds good to me- it'll help that Bjarn's looking out for impressive people at the moment, what with the whole "prospective Fangs" thing and all.


On that note, did any of the Iceholders or Valhals acquit themselves particularly well in the battle?


(Also, shame they're back to Icehold and it's exploding. It was fun to get away from srsBjarn for a while...)
