Nero Kunivas 3,046 Posted July 3, 2017 I'm sure you can rack up something, Kuni. =) Since we were unable to have Soren and Raiden talk before the timeskip, perhaps it would be best to act it out here or in PM instead, and then maybe you will have some substance for a starting point. My thoughts are that Raiden would be sympathetic to Soren's plight and battle of conscience, and would continue trying to sway him on Raiden's side in gentle nudges. Given their history (and their elemental affinities), Ren and Soren will become a very compatible duo on the battlefield and with each other, and Raiden might notice that as well if speaking within the grand hall where everybody was feasting. Furthermore, if he has tactical use, Raiden would also adore his insight, perfecting plans that would otherwise have holes. Mystras is a well fortified city complete with bubble shield and formidable electric defenses, but it will not last very long under a strong siege. Plugging holes is an activity which measures life and death on a finely tuned weighing scale. Very nice! I would very much be up for that, in such a case. Intel gathering is a useful trait in war as well, decisively leading to struck fracture points and straining an army before it becomes too much of a burden, and Raiden, being an indirect tactician, would favour this. Accepting Henry will make him a huge asset as well as a huge liability, however, given those terms of leaving upon disagreement. A constant eye will have to be on him, and I know just the one. Reginald Heathertoes, you lovely hippie, you may have a showcasing after all, and in the case of Henry's losing all confidence in Raiden we can enact that battle I hoped to have with Henry. I was actually recently thinking the same thing and had it in my mind to PM you about them talking. Great minds think alike, though yours is certainly greater. When it comes to Tactics and a generally Tactical Approach to, well, anything, Soren is your man. His flames can roast you alive, but in Soren's hands he can turn the battlefield against you if need be, or even beat you with Hellfire and not kill you. I think he could help Raiden with his strategies. You sir. I like you. 1 Vaude reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mystics Apprentice 2,397 Posted July 3, 2017 I thought that I'd put this out here: since we all skipped quite a ways, some of us are sorting out various conversations via PMs to have flashback scenes and to show the history of what went down during that time. Not all characters require them, but if this is something you're interested with any of your characters please feel free to start a PM with those involved characters and we can all work things out. : ) Also, for all human players: you have the option of upgrading your equipment to containing magical items and weaponry for the upcoming battle. If you want to make the changes to your sheets just quote them for approval. This doesn't apply to any of the fey, though.

I could also see Soren and Ren working alongside each other frequently as well, given their history and friendship. I'm not really sure where Ren would fit best on the battlefield, as he is a scholar and is tactful, but at the same time is a dragon and could be highly useful for combat. 2 Nero Kunivas and Vaude reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he could help Raiden with his strategies. You sir. I like you. Aww, shucks, now I'm all embarrassed! *scratches ear*. You've a great mind yourself, and I love your concoctions. I especially like the thought of Soren's ability being used in a nonlethal approach. Raiden will highly value that alongside his advisory counsel, and the fact that he can manipulate the terrain well enough with infernal flames.

Soren and Ren, dragon-riding bros that will make Alastor wish he had a dragon to ride as well. =P Ren would probably make an excellent aerial commander, given his book knowledge and his being able to fly himself. Regarding these magical weaponry/items changes, here we go: ((For the war between Mystras and Kilkes Seres, Raleigh's crossbow was removed for a magical longbow that befitted her family history of archery. The enchanted yew slings arrows twice as far and twice as fast, and the string resonates with a beautiful twang similar to a hum. Nocking the arrows stays as slow and methodical as it usually does, however.)) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His demonic form may have skin like stone, but his heart certainly isn't. (I mean, he has a soft spot for pretty pink cupcakes. x3) Also, now that Raleigh has a magical Longbow and we're on the topic of Dragons, she's a more magic based Hanzo. Or Legolas. Either way, I'm just waiting for the simple geometry. lol 1 Mystics Apprentice reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scrapmaster 1,731 Posted July 4, 2017 Dammit, now you guys are making me regret Alastor not taming a dragon in the timeskip. Instead i'l have to opt with him and Henry badly wounding one another in their timeskipped spar, which kinda got out of control. Eye and Arm respectively.

Arya Stark 1,337 Posted July 4, 2017 quick header, I'm gonna post in a minute but then I'm gonna be gone for like two weeks backpacking, completely off the grid. Following such, I do intend to post pretty soon. But for reason's sake, Gel is sticking with Henry and the twins, Neena is killing humans and anyone who gets in her path really, and Cerberos are largely on their own. 1 The Unversed reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since they seem friendly enough with Aura and Aurion. I am quite interested in the interactions, even if it might have just been one throwing sarcasm at the other.

I want to think that Rabs did, maybe even being one of the first who saw Henry and the group arrive to see Raiden. Sifrei, came to Mystras a couple of days later, so maybe he noticed them, and since Rabs was helping the sibling he decided to help Henry, Gel and the siblings too.

The Unversed 168 Posted July 15, 2017 Better late than never to reply here! haha I found it earlier and used it for a precursors consultation. But thank you for bringing them up and a huge thank you for curating the character list. Makes keeping track of who I'll be taking to sooo much easier. Thanks man! Yep, that list will help lots & lots plus more lots! She does have emotions, it's just that she likes to keep them hidden She has been alone most of the time, that is one of the reasons she has some problems while trying to express herself to others. No problem, I'm glad that you now understand how the rune works. No one knows when Rabs is joking or is being serious. She is a mystery! Oooh! okay, then I'll have to find a way to make rabs show 'em outright haha Got any tips for me man? Haha Rabs is mystery itself! haha EDIT: Okay, got the timeskip into place. I went ahead and jumped several weeks, where everyone is getting ready for the big battle. It's tough to say how events will flow from this point on, but I'd say we're roughly at the 3/4 marker of the RP (exciting stuff!). Several weeks! I can't wait to show what Visco & Veronica have been up to! YEAH!!! quick header, I'm gonna post in a minute but then I'm gonna be gone for like two weeks backpacking, completely off the grid. That sounds awesome! Backpacking's good exercise, enjoy yourself alright girl! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
