Over a Mug of Ale [For A Better Age]

I'm not too worried, I've been rather prominent for a while with the whole military thing.


Amateur dramatics- specifically thr college production of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead.


(Also, post tonight, definitely.)
 
No post from me tonight unfortunantly due to having to close at work tonight and open tomarrow. Should be able to get some post up Friday after getting back home, and taking a nap though.
 
So can anyone figure out how it might actually be possible to set up the mirror system that Keikan is trying to have happen in Gethamane? Given that most of Gethamane is under a mountain, and I'm not aware of there being many openings to the city (hence why it has been so difficult to siege in the past). Plus Gethamane has struck me a a complex hive where setting mirrors up everywhere would be difficult anyways.


Edit: Also I will try and get a post up for the other thread tomarrow to try and finish up some of those loose ends.
 
I just gave them the idea. How and if this is actually possible depends on the people of Gethamane. My main intention was to create social pressure to keep them from shutting the doors, and create a counter-cult to check the dark one growing there. And also to have them worship the sun.


Edit: It'd also probably give Master Arando a -huge- market for mirrors there.
 
I should get a post up later tonight. I figure I will be having Walks give a general update on Icehold and its status among other topics such as the Skandir and their position.
 
Just to let everyone know, this saturday I'm leaving for a week long cruise with my wife and will not have steady interent access.
 
My wife and I are taking a cruise along the Mexican riviera. Cabo, Puerto Vairta, and a couple of other stops I dont remember :oops: We are celebrating our 15th anniversery :D
 
Very nice. Happy anniversary, too!


Just be careful about unlicensed taxis, where you get your water, and any potential gas leaks, hm? I don't know about where you're from, but those of us in Canada have been noticing a few in our number not coming back from Mexico lately, heh heh.
 
fuck yeah I am back


Sorry about vanishing for a while. I could've posted. I should've been posting. But I will be entirely honest when I say I had lost all interest in doing so for that period. Got some time to make up.
 
Enjoy your vacation Sherwood!


Blagh! Sorry about the lack of posts. Got called into work unexpectedly, and just hammer with work all around. I'm reasonably confident I will be able to post Thursday after work. Sorry for the delays.
 
Combination of lack of time and energy my end, and the weekend's only going to be worse... Hopefully after that, and particularly when term finishes, I'll pick up again.
 
I'm back from my vacation! Give me a day or two to catch up with what's been posted and I'll have Asyk back in the game.
 
BTW, what powers/bonuses do I get with the ochilike ceremony with Leeatya? Do you want to send it to me in a PM or out in the open?
 
Hey all, sorry about my downtime. I was in New Mexico for spring break and I was told I would have internet access but I did not. Catching up now, will post either tonight or tomorrow.

Click to expand...
How about we do that over PM. I just need a little time to examine the Ride charm, and get an idea how to apply it.
 
So what would you guys like to do? Seems like you might need a little bit of direction? We can talk in here about what you would all want to do next as your goal. Might be easier to do all the planning here.
 
I think we all know what we want to do, it's just that SOMEONE, wink wink, nudge nudge, has made himself the centre of attention and it's difficult to progress until he responds.


We could diverge a little here, of course. If we're going to take on the Harbinger, armies still have to march out, and we do have a faster method of transportation than a marching army that could let a few of us get around. It'd give us something to do in the meantime, at least.


Just off the top of my head, we could spy on the Harbinger's forces (possibly even assassinate him ahead of time; even Exalted aren't immune to having their throats cut in their bed), spend some time organizing the pushing back of the Varajtul...


I have my own suggestions as how to use the time, such as gathering rare ingredients in the Wyld (maybe getting a few Fair Folk to swear themselves into our service; what could be more interesting than being a player in our story?) or, better yet, raiding the Realm for the White Registry and beginning the steps needed to turn Icehold into the world's largest sorcery academy.
 
Sorry, is it me we're waiting for? If so, say so and I'll get summat up...


I'd be right up for an unexpected Abyssalganking mission, and Bjarn would agree. Far better to kill the dishonourable dog than to have to fight through honourable kin to get there.
 
It'd be unethical for me to point to anyone, but they know who they are, and if you don't know it's you, then you clearly aren't it. Still, good to have one more vote for something. If we do that, though, we're better leaving it until we have the Diamondees in our pocket; we don't want them getting ideas in their head that they can survive without us.
 
Just double-posting here to make sure everyone sees this: If Narrante does kill the Harbinger, it places in a curious position. We can offer Diamond Refuge an opportunity here; we kill the Harbinger and their army descends upon the leaderless army of the damned. We let them mop the enemy up for us.


Then, when they're fatigued, have exerted their Essence, and reduced their numbers, Bjarn leads the Icehold army from hiding, surrounds Diamond Refuge's forces, and holds them hostage, while the rest of us deliver terms of surrender to the city.


A possible pre-emptive action might involve Anoke being sneaked in to spread dissent amongst the populace, to minimize any resistance. If he does, we have the third option of having them simply deal with the Harbinger, then having the people let us in from the inside. Army marches in, takes control, terms of surrender delivered in a bloodless coup.


This might be a bit more treacherous than normal, but we've done worse.
 
If it hasn't been one thing it has been another, sorry. I'm back though! (that is if you will have me :oops: )


Heads up, I am making a new character. Not that I didn't like Chain, it was just foolish of me to think it Autobot would be easier to work in, especially in a campaign with so much already going on. So on the writing block is a Lunar with similar interests to everyone else.

This is hella first draft. I was debating between Vulture and Black Snow Owl. I went with Vulture for now, what with the preying on the dead thing.


Name: Inguz Thurisaz Oct, The Scavenger on the Black Ice, Patron of the Death Watch Tribe


Caste: No Moon


Totem: Vulture


Anima: Monochrome Black and Silver Wings with Eyes


Tell: Balding or noticibly lighter coloration of head and neck.


Background-


Inguz Thurisaz Oct, the eighth to take the Elder Inguz Thurisaz's name, was once a Shaman of the Tear Eaters Tribe, and a bit of a prodigy. He believed in the worship of his ancestors to his core, had been initiated into Necromancy, and served the Great Dead as best as he could understand their wishes and interpret them. When they called for him to be sacrificed he didn't bat an eye. There he lay upon the alter, dressed in not much more than his modesty, ready and waiting for the jagged knife of bone to claim his life. Then he felt a gutwrenching feeling that this was not his time, he was not to go this way, and then he felt the knife sink into him. He freed himself from his restraints, punched the priest in the face, and ran from the site, the knife being ripped from his side.


He wandered the icy plains, killing what animals he could find with what tools he could find, and packing his wound with snow to stave off death. On the second night, death was coming for him and the Lover was waiting to offer her Dark Exaltation, but Luna had other plans for Inguz. The Fickle Lady denied the Lover the satisfaction, and claimed him as her own.


Inguz Thurisaz Oct was welcomed into the Silver Pact, even if he was held at arms length (a little more than usual) because he insisted on continuing his Necromantic studies. He believed the magic of the dead was the best weapon against them, and he founded a Thousand Streams River project to further that idealogy. His first small conclave in time grew into the burgeoning Death Watch Tribes.


Then tragedy: While Inguz was away on Pact business (the tattooing and initiation of Volund among other things) the expansionism of the Skandir overtook the Death Watch Tribes before word could reach him. It was a brutal and effective ambush. The meager survivors knew better than to try and mount a counter-offensive, and instead ran and were finally able to contact Inguz who also understood the frivolous nature of revenge in such a weakened state. The Pact has not had a very large presence in the North since the fall of Winters Fang other than the backers of the Haslanti who he does not get along with, so Inguz now turns to the only other power in the North he can think of that will help him, the Icehold circle, having heard of their exploits from Volund.


Pesonality-


A stern man, deathly frank, but his serious face can be cracked to reveal someone as jolly as the next. (More to come)


Description-


Svelt and tall with rocky black eyes and sharp features made even sharper by the complete lack of hair on his head, brow, and jaw. He is generally swathed in varying furs, skins, and bones in the form of cape, cowl, and trousers. The heinous scar on his torso has been incorporated into his tattoos, and is its centerpiece.
