[OOC] Call of the Hunt [EliteCommander and Muttonhawk]

[EliteCommander]

I think, for the sake of time, we could probably do Kaleeth and Janius' thing at the same time as Ahnasha and Fendros', as it would take them a week or two to find them. For now, we can just focus on Sabine, Ariel, and the rest of them.

[Muttonhawk]

Fair enough

[EliteCommander]

There may be some other, small scenes I can insert at different times. There are a few things relating to the invasion that I'd like to do, but I wouldn't want to dedicate too much time to. Don't want to slow the pace too much, or we'll never get to the end.

Now, I need to go back and find character names.

[EliteCommander]

I'm not sure that I ever named Rukeewei's brother.

[Muttonhawk]

If you did name him, I can't for the life of me remember. It's not a big deal anyway; there are loads of characters at this point.

[Muttonhawk]

We can probably skip to the point where Ariel and the twin daughters turn up for dinner. I didn't really have anything particular planned for Sabine's visit except to show what Ariel & co. have been up to. Sabine will probably have a long conversation with Ariel about the various worries in their lives, but that would be a long scene, mostly between two of my characters, so it probably doesn't need to be played out like that.

[EliteCommander]

Playing siege with friends at the moment, though I'll post once we're done.

[EliteCommander]

There are some smaller scenes I wanted to do. For their Imperial and Dominion allies, Meesei would have had a propylon stone sent to each of them that would link to a single other stone for them to meet up more easily. Probably a closely guarded stone in a neutral location. Do you think they would be at the point where they would be starting their military meetings on the specifics of the invasion?

[Muttonhawk]

I would say so. I imagine it would mostly be logistical details, reconciling what the combined force is made up of, and exchanging knowledge in anticipation for battle plans. If you wanted to play out a meeting where a specific point is addressed, you could do so.

If they're being provided propylon stones, though, there may be some extra officers snooping around to get a closer look at them. It's very strategically powerful magic that Meesei is revealing there.

[EliteCommander]

Fortunately, it's not the kind of magic that could really be deciphered from a surface examination. It would probably require a detailed examination of the enchantments to learn about it in-depth. I suppose it's more accurate to say that they would put a stone in a guarded, known location for the respective factions to use, rather than just giving them a stone outright. They would easily be able to learn that the stones connect two fixed points, and they require a key to use.

[Muttonhawk]

Sounds fair enough. The long term implications will probably not be in the scope of this RP anyway.

[Muttonhawk]

Oops! Forgot Ri'vashi's scene. One moment...

EDIT: There we are.

EDIT: Damn it! I did it again.

EDIT: There we go. Hopefully I don't make it a hat trick for the next post.

[EliteCommander]

One moment, forgot to put in the other scene.

[Muttonhawk]

Quick question, do you think Ariel would know about Meesei and Sabine's ability to open portals?

[EliteCommander]

Yeah, that's how they were brought to Skyrim, if you remember.

[Muttonhawk]

Oh yeah! That's right.

Damn, so many things have happened in this story, I'm forgetting parts of it.

[Muttonhawk]

I'm taking a guess that the invasion meeting scene is done. Let me know if I'm wrong :P

[EliteCommander]

Oh, yeah, I have nothing more to add there.

[EliteCommander]

Is there anything you want to have Sabine do aside from the dinner? If so, you can take us there.

[Muttonhawk]

Just a quick and frank chat with Ariel about what's been happening and what's going to happen soon. Sabine's basically been waiting for the children to go to bed.
