No worries man, glad to have you back.

Would you prefer I find a way to get Nadijah in with the others by now, or did you have another plan for her and Telma you actually wanted to see through? I'm game with whichever.


I think Telma and Nadijah will try to kill the king. It'll be a good way to introduce Rolo as a character.

@Product

Real life has a way of sneaking up on you.

Well, I'm not against the secret passage being straightforward. (wouldn't be a smart idea to turn a hidden escape into a maze. people getting lost in an escape sounds like an invitation for disaster.)

I kinda want to know what killed the Guardsman though.


I'll tie up that loose end. Hope everyone is ready >:)

Sorry everyone I am not having the amount of free time I want to invest into this...I think it may be best I politely bow out. This is just from me not being able to post as much as I like and I apologize for that.

>introduction of Rolo

That... is actually really clever. Vertigo gets the truest expression of Nadijah's character and we get an opening-scenes look at the Big Bad.

Why do I feel like I just pushed the party into a trap?

Agreed. This isn't the way I expected this to go (was prepared to find an excuse for her so as to not railroad your plans), but hey, I'm not complaining. Really looking forward to what comes outta this. And dreading it, too. In the best way.

@Z2010Deadmeat Same as above, sad to see you go man, but I getcha. Godspeed, see you around!

@ArmorPlated@vietmyke@Zeroth@Perascamin
I posted. You can all investigate the bodies and different passages or go straight for the castle. Either way, it's about to get good.

@Vertigo
I'm giving you freedom on how you'd like to set up the ambush.

It looks like Perascamin has been away a while, and Vietmyke isn't posting anything... so @Zeroth, do you want Roa to respond before Drifter does?

@product Sorry for the late reply. So, hrm, I'm not really sure how to introduce the ambush, since I don't really know anything about the king and his entourage - even things that a scout would be able to tell Nadijah and co. in advance (or that might be common knowledge to some townspeople). Things such as does he arrive on foot, in a litter, on horseback, how many men does he have in tow, how much armour he wears or... well, anything really.

Is it alright if I just skip to Nadijah confronting the king, maybe? Maybe the mob has gotten him separated from his men, and that's when she strikes. If you're looking to introduce him, that also gives an opportunity for it without a crapton of NPCs buzzing around.

With that said, er, I have it in my status as well, but I'll basically be gone until the 22nd of July in a few days (will be doing my last posts this weekend). So that... might make things a bit more difficult. You are free to control Nadijah if you wish after I'm gone, or handwave anything needed. I don't want to halt the rp for three weeks with my trip.

We could also do the whole ambush thing as a flashback later on, if you'd prefer. Like--- all focus is given to the other group for now, and if the king meets them at any point, he does (since I'm pretty sure he won't be dying in the ambush, haha). And after I'm back we can show what happened in the attempted ambush.

I'm cool with whatever is easiest for everyone. Whatever is decided, I can post this weekend on my part.

Seems so. Working up a post now.

@Vertigo

wouldn't the best bet for a low-intel assassination be to set up a trap/ambush and attack from a vantage point?

Also, leaving for twenty days? dang. Enjoy your trip.

Edit: Product, mind making a judgement call on A) if "conjure light source" is a spell and/or how it works, and B) If conjured weapons and items cast dim/bright light?

Also Roa post up.

@armorplated

Yeah, my initial thought was Nadijah trying to snipe him from a rooftop while he was distracted by the mob, but then I started to reckon that he probably wears armour... In which case, she'd need to get close with her blades instead. In her mind, she'd sweep in, slice him up and leave. In reality it will probably turn into a confrontation and allow Product to introduce the king.

Of course, it'd be even better if they had explosives, but I doubt they can find them this fast. Doubt the actual stores in this sell bombs and bomb arrows like they're nothing, heh.

Also. Whoops, called her by the wrong name there. That was what I planned to call her at first before settling on Nadijah. Fixed!

Hopefully Product replies soon so I know what to do for my post.

Ans thanks! It's a Japan trip, this time around the countryside/mountain range, since I've been to the usual big cities so many times by now. Am excited.

yeah, I think Telma would veto that immediately, Just trying to buy some might set the guards on them, and they'd likely be useless if the intense rain soaks them, or puts the fuses out.

Countryside, eh? Hope the weather is good, or at least better than it is on the east coast right now.

We can skip to the confrontation since you'll be MIA for a few weeks no prob. The king will be on horseback riding past the slums with his body guards when the riot starts. You're free to go from there and I'll have the king's response ready. He'll be fully armored.

Gotcha!

I'll try to get a post in before I leave, and then pick up where we left off when back (or skip to wherever needed at the time).

Posted! I left everything really vague, because I didn't want to step on any toes. It's super rushed, too, but I've only a little while to post everywhere before I need to sleep and leave for the trip orz

Essentially, the plan was something like---

Distract king and guards with mob -> isolate king -> Telma shoots his horse in the chaos -> Nadijah strikes him when he's still on his back on the ground.

Details can be added in as you wish.
