Dice Trial by Fire - Exalted 2e OOC

[Sherwood]

Gimme a sec to update the 3E thread and I'll have a narration for transitioning to interrogation. If that suits you guys.

Sure. I can deal with that.

The Memory Reweaving Charm can affect multiple people at once. Can I put multiple Exalts in the same room to affect them all at once?

I'll let you pool the first 15 successes on the Dragon Blooded only. The Sidereal has a very different memory set that you'll have to work with.

 

[Psychie]

I'll wait for Rykon to post his intro to the interrogation before going into my rolls.

 

[jaydude]

Do you want me helping out during the interrogation? Or will Annika not be needed?

 

[MasterDAF]

Not including Aysik's Sidereal co-worker, we never did get any names for the Dragon-Bloods that assaulted us. As such, I request we call them by codenames.

Darian has got three DBs to rewire, so the path ahead looks quite clear to me. Obviously, we're gonna have to call them Larry, Moe, and Curly. xD

Or we could just use a random name generator, if they're more likely to respond better to us using their real names.

 

[Sherwood]

It will be simple enough to get their names. They are Ragara Hax, Mnemon Garner, and Ledaal Tomiko.

Every person that wishes to join in should feel free to do so.

 

[jaydude]

Thanks.

On an ethical note, I'm not entirely sure about us effectively brainwashing people to our cause.

 

[Psychie]

The two alternatives are to either kill them or lock them up for centuries. Neither one is a good choice for me. Letting them go is off the table.

 

[Sherwood]

This is a choice that is up to you guys to hash out. I am just the Storyteller here.

 

[jaydude]

Couldn't we just keep them prisoner, squeeze as much information out of them as possible and then either exile them, execute them or ransom them off?

 

[Sherwood]

Another excellent option.

 

[Psychie]

Honestly, I had not considered that idea. Perhaps we could, but I'm not sure.

 

[jaydude]

Alternatively, we could try and persuade them to our cause without charms, or Annika can just turn a blind eye to Darian's memory-altering. Though I suspect some of us will end up making Compassion/Conviction rolls somewhere down the line if we take the latter option.

 

[Sherwood]

Persuasion will be very difficult. They have been indoctrinated from birth to hate Solars as Anathama, so it will take a lot to change their minds.

 

[jaydude]

I didn't say it would be easy. Though you'd think - or more accuracy hope - that some of them would realize how effed up Creation's become since the Scarlet Empress vanished, or start having second thoughts about "Anathema" when they see the society/empire/civilization we've managed to build.

 

[Rykon]

Here I was hoping we could use the Benedict Cumberbatch name generator...

Working on the intro now.

 

[jaydude]

There's a Benedict Cumberbatch name generator?

Edit: Just googled it.

 

[Rykon]

There is, and it's gold. Benedict Cumberbatch Name Generator

...and caught up. I'm going to start by tagging with Psychie to sow doubt in the Terrestrials, show sincere peaceful intent, and prod for some basic intel. I forgot to mention, I'd want Aysik present for this specifically.

 

[Rykon]

Hoping that team combo will convince them that while we seek a better future and to live in peace, there is a righteous anger at their reckless, misguided zealotry. Building a positive image for us, and breaking the lies that bind them.

 

[Psychie]

Hey Sherwood, I forgot to add in any Stunt dice for my roll. Do I get to add them in now, or is it too late?

 

[Sherwood]

Eh, you can go ahead and roll two more dice.

 

[Psychie]

Here they are.

 

[Psychie]

I have enough Essence to make one more roll right now before having to recover for a while. What do you guys think? Should I go ahead and push it one more time and see if I can get one of them on our side to help convince the others?

 

[Sherwood]

That call is up to you to make.
