Fantasy Sidereals - New Beginnings OOC

[Rykon]

Ah, I don't think there's much I can add without being repetitive. At least until the secretary responds.

 

[Random Word]

This is why you write pass!

 

[Psychie]

Sorry for the delay. I can't blame anyone but myself; I just got lazy. On a good note, I am giving everyone 3 xp, and that has been added to the first post of the Character Thread to keep track of points.

 

[Random Word]

It simply says, "If someone is reading this, that means our efforts to kill the Demon Queen have failed. She is a thrall to the Ebon Dragon, and will rip all of Creation apart in her efforts to free him from Malfias. She must be stopped at all costs. There are many secrets in this office that may help you in your struggle. Use these tools wisely.

That note by itself doesn't give us anything new to go on - we can write more posts about how we search the room, but we've already done that. If there's more for us to find here, you should assume we're going to keep looking until we find it and just give it to us, or call for a roll if it's especially tricky to find, and if there's nothing else here to find let us know and we'll make a new plan and go from there.

We could visit the Maidens to petition for the unlocking of the Astrology Charms and to get the safety limiters taken off Astrology. We could go foment revolution in the Threshold, or even on the Blessed Isle. We could go round up some Solars to form a Circle we can point at something we don't like and watch the fireworks. I don't think we know about breaking the seal to reach Autochthonia, do we? Without a strong clue or orders pointing us that way, our characters are unlikely to stumble upon it.

 

[Psychie]

I was letting you guys describe what you wished to go looking at first, but I can go ahead and skip some of that.

 

[Random Word]

I think (and others can correct me if I'm wrong) we just don't know what there is to look at. Obviously lots of things, but the narrative thrust is really: 'we turned Kejak's office upside down, and here's all the stuff we found.' The order in which we found it doesn't much matter, what matters is there's cool stuff to learn and then fun things to do with it.

 

[Psychie]

Ok. I'll have something up for you guys later on today after I get home from my running around this morning.

 

[Random Word]

everyone please give me a Perception + Investigation roll, or a Perception + Awareness roll

Euphemia is terrible at this. You two are the investigators, so I'll leave it to you to investigate stuff.

 

[Sherwood]

I'll see what I can do.

 

[Rykon]

Oh boy. I'll have to stunt for willpower but I might be able to manage. I'll try and get a post up tomorrow, but life is gonna be rough this week.

 

[Sherwood]

I posted a roll for my Investigation efforts, and I'm adding a Sorcery Capturing Cord and a set of Perfected Kata Bracers to my sheet.

Assuming that Renna can see these things

Yeah, I wasn't sure if we could see the results of the report or if we were waiting on Tien to relate it to us, but good call - I doubt he's going to keep the results a secret.

 

[Psychie]

No worries. It is unlikely that Toun wouldn't tell you what he's come across, so you can post as you wish.

 

[Sherwood]

I had hoped that my post would be ok. Thank you.

 

[Random Word]

Do you try and obtain a ground vehicle, or an airship of some sort?

Ooh, uh, I'm not sure how to write a post in reply to this one. Maybe present us with some fun sounding options, and what the pros and cons are for each? If it doesn't matter what we choose, then I suppose flying is better than not flying, but maybe if we go by ground we can carry more stuff, take more people, or attract less attention?

We need to find the pet Solars Renna has summoned for us, and probably accompany them in disguise to make sure they don't get lost. How are they travelling?

We could probably cram them all on an airship, but that's definitely going to raise some eyebrows - the Cult of the Illuminated probably doesn't claim to have a few airships lying around for emergencies. I suppose we could also throw caution to the wind, but Euphemia's natural inclination is to ensure no one ever realizes anything out of the ordinary happened when she intervenes.

 

[Sherwood]

I am thinking that there are ships of a moderate size that we can get our hands on that can fit through the Gateways from Yu-Shan. In the Autochthon book there is a Aerial Skiff that has enough room for 20 people. Having something like that would be big enough for us, right? We can then add a few of the Solars from the Cult of the Illuminated, and then find out what is going on in the south would be fairly easy.

 

[Psychie]

I know the ship you are talking about. Something like that is well within your ability to requisition.

 

[Sherwood]

Sweet.

 

[Random Word]

Okay, sounds like a plan - are you going to set the scene then, Sherwood?

 

[Rykon]

Been a while so I almost forgot amidst all the other chaos around here lately. Tien does have the 5 dot Globe of Transport if we need that as well. Perhaps a folding ship would be more useful if we plan on taking passengers?

 

[Random Word]

We don't have to have a scene about it, but will the Maidens unlock the Astrological Charms/Take the limiters off Astrology/break out all the other 'break glass in case of apocalypse' stuff Sidereals have? Euphemia will want to petition them for that stuff.
