Hooray for getting in...

...and digging up some dirt without getting caught! 

Now, let's hope getting out with said dirt goes just as swimmingly.

get moving, already!

Okay folks.  Just a tiny little update to get y'all out the door.  

If you look at the map, it's right at 375 miles - as the crow flies - to get from your present location to the Sendrian border.  Then another 40ish miles into hostile territory to get where you are going.  

Your exact route will modify this, of course.

You folks need to decide which way you are going.  It would also be nice to have a marching order for you - both single file and 2x2.  Any major combat tactics.  Etc.

I assume our ranger will scout ahead when appropriate outdoors?

Are you wanting to discuss actual party leadership?

I just want to get this housekeeping stuff handled.

My thoughts as to marching order (at least while the party is outside/on the road) are as follows:

Single file:

  • Rain
  • Arathea
  • Mae’rel
  • Seleneniel
  • Rosariel
  • Dak
  • Ruadhri

2x2

  • Rain + Arathea
  • Mae’rel + Rosariel
  • Seleneniel + Dak
  • Ruadhri (Dak could also go here, I suppose, it all depends on how ‘snooty’ Seleneniel wants to be. )

As far as party leadership goes, that’s a bit of a tougher call. Rain is technically leading the party but I don’t think he’s the sort that would want to be the leader. Arathea, being a bladesinger, has the tactical mind and martial clout to be a sensible choice. Then we have Seleneniel – this mission is sanctioned by her House and, as a member of said House, I’d say she wields some small bit of authority as a result; like Rain, though, I don’t know that she’d actually want to lead. Dak and Ruadhri are “outsiders,” so I don’t think that either of them would fit the bill (and Dak wouldn’t want to do it, anyway).

Anyhoo… just my personal opinions… I could very well be wrong about any or all of it.

Marching orders you put out make fair amounts of sense, no objections here I think.

 

For party leader, Arathea also has high charisma. Bladesingers are trained in diplomacy, the Imperial government itself often sends them as ambassadors so she is very familiar with negotian. Seleneniel also makes sense due to her social standing, though I wonder how interested she'd be in the job. 

 

I personally see Arathea taking most of the leadership role, or perhaps most of the negotiations and maybe stratrgezing role cause obviously Rain will be the one guiding us.

I get the feeling...

...that most negotiations are going to be the aggressive sort, facilitated by blade and bow.

That said, I can still definitely see Arathea being the "face" of the party.

Hmmmmm

Absent (sensible) orders to the contrary, Rain will absolutely be scouting ahead outdoors, but no more than a shouts distance away, most of the time. Gotta be able to check in from time to time.

 

Marching order looks good to me, and as for leadership/face of the party, no objections here!

 

Going to work up a short post now about the route. A reccomendation  to consider.

Sounds gouda

The marching order looks good to me. Side-eyed having both clerics in the second line in the 2x2, but if everyone is cozy with that, I'm cool to run with it.

Arathea seems like the right choice for leader, so I'll throw my hand in for her as well.

UUMMMMM WHAT

Your dirty little mage dealings, whatever.

You wanna raise a little dead for funsies? Go piss, queen.

But you kicked a cat?! Somewhere in the manor, Rosariel doesn't know why, but she rolls up her sleeves and goes into a barbarian's rage somehow.

.... also yes, I'll be posting tonight or tomorrow as well!

Whoa!

That's a bunch of posts! Once the morning meetings are out of the way, I'll do something about getting one of my own together.

so much..

Yep, so many posts.  

Our resident ranger has some plans, and if he gets what he wants, it may allow me to do some really cool things I've wanted to do for a long time but have never had the right stage for.  

Also, love the translation stuff on the first page.  I went and added pronunciations for the few Bófir things.

Pronunciation tings

I did a lil research in the Vault for the Syl phrases I used. I don't know if you wanna add them to the terms at the front but in case you do:

Quel amrun - Good morning

Lle ai’thost - I found the words for "you" and "little", but of course there was nothing for "s***" haha so I found a Tolkein dictionary and bastardized their word for "stinky thing" to turn it into slang  anyway, it's "you little s***". Or at least it's trying to be.
