Talk:On The Road Again
Descending Water 11
- Cathak Aden, Peleps Caedmon, Sesus Izumi, and Tepet Marek Udo meet for lunch and to get an explanation from Aden. Aden explains that the Scorpian King is an anthema in the South that recently survived an attack by the Wyld Hunt near Paragon. The details are murky, but there are a number of suspicious circumstances surrounding what happened. A number of rumors include the Scorpian King being ready for the attack with a small army, all of the survivors deciding to stay in Paragon and send letters of what happened to the Blessed Isle, and a number of the Hunt not being with the group during the attack. Aden thinks some kind of betrayel occured and wants to discover what happened. The survivors stated that the anathema had been severly wounded during the battle. Aden thinks that discovering what took place will be more challenging than fighting the beast.
- Aden has secured passage for them from Noble to Paragon on a ship. There will be room for them, a few retainers (Brian's), any mounts, and the small amount of luggage they will be traveling with. He plans on having them ride south along the Great Coast Road to get to Noble. He admits that it will take longer than taking a boat, but he only has so much jade. Also, they will get to see some of the Blessed Isle and maybe find some trouble along the way. Note: The Cloister of Wisdom is near Noble, so Udo has probably seen this area before. He may have even traveled this part of the Great Coast Road to or from the Imperial City before.
- Post any questions your characters would have asked and I will give you what Aden would have answered. When your questions are satisfied, let me know and we will begin the scene on the morning we leave the Imperial City for Noble. Izumi would fill Tycho in on the details when he arrives in the Imperial City on Descending Water 13. The rest of us will meet Tycho for the first time on the morning of Descending Water 14 at first dawn when they begin their journey. --Macabreengel 14:53, 1 August 2011 (EDT)
OOC
Lore Roll (current events) to know who Magistrate Karl von Eberstein is:
Aden: someone Aden has never heard of.
Tycho (memory stone included): a very powerful magistrate with strong connections to the Immaculate Order. He is known for being very harsh and vindictive, but manages to be excellent at is job as well. He is known to have been close to the Empress before her disappearance and likely has powerful friends throughout the Realm. He has backed no one for the throne publicly and accounts vary wildly on who he backs privately. He is one of the most powerful non-contenders for the throne around.
Cad: someone Cad has never heard of.
Izumi: someone Izumi has never heard of.
Udo: someone Udo has never heard of.
The path is about 5 feet wide and raised about 1 foot above the field. The dried out plants are about 8 field tall, and you cant see more than a few field into them. Aden, Cad, and Tycho are about 50 yards from the crossbow guy and 50 yards in the other direction from Izumi and Udo. All positions about to be described are relative to Aden. Cad is to Aden's left. The girl is directly behind Aden and Cad. Tycho is facing back towards Izumi and Udo to watch their back. The girl is between the three of them and they are back to back. (If this is not what you wanted for your character, just post it.)
Dan: I will post whether someone's feelings of guilt are low, medium, or high, in the character descriptions in OOC.
Bandit leader: Dead. Middle-aged. Crossbow. Guilt: None. 50 yards from Aden, Cad, Tycho. 100 yards from Izumi and Udo.
Bandit 1: Dead. Young man. Pitchfork. Guilt: High. 50 yards from Aden, Cad, Tycho. 100 yards from Izumi and Udo.
Bandit 2: Dead. Young man. Pitchfork. Guilt: High. 50 yards from Aden, Cad, Tycho. 100 yards from Izumi and Udo.
Bandit 3: Fleeing. Boy, about 10. Sling. Guilt: Low. 52 yards from Aden, Cad, Tycho. 102 yards from Izumi and Udo.
Bandit 4: Fleeing. Boy, about 10. Sling. Guilt: Low. 50 yards from Aden, Cad, Tycho. 100 yards from Izumi and Udo.

Udo: Tick 5
Cad regains 2 essence from his stunt. Also, Udo and Tycho had one die stunts from their first attacks, but I didnt post it because they hadnt used any essence yet. I think I am pretty much going to give at least a 1 die stunt anytime you give me more than a one line attack, fyi.
Formatting
Ignore this section for now... this code will work once I upgrade the wiki. And then we can talk about whether or not it would be useful to include OOC information on the main page with something like this.

To Do
This is the last full scene on the island. I would like to see these things completed or nearly completed before we leave the island. Dan H wont be posting until the 18th at the earliest and the scene will involve a fight, so there is a little time, but please work on these things when it is not your turn to post. I am goint to have Tycho and Izumi catch up to Aden, Cad, and Udo right before the fight begins. Essentially they will come riding up behind them right were we left off with seeing the guy with the crossbow. Brian: Your in character post should include anything significant your character did or wanted to do they day they were supposed to leave or the morning they are leaving. Include a brief description of your character similiar to Izumi's. Then have them ride around the front of the estate and introduce his retainers to us. They can be riding either cheap mounts like donkeys, mules, ponies, or old raggedly horses, or they can be riding a cart or cheap carriage being pulled by two horses or oxen or something similair. Whichever you prefer is fine. If you want them to all ride regular horses, the extra money will have to come out of your character's pocket. If you have another idea you prefer, that is fine. Finish your post with them leaving the city unless you post something I need to respond to before you guys leave (that happened either the day before or that morning).
