QUOTE (Mercy @ Aug 12 2016, 03:39 PM)  I have to go to work and might not be back on until very late my time. Maya is planning on going to the large camp to see Rick, so someone can write that part up and get us there, if they like. Please? Okay, I took us to the camp. No spirits. Don't know what time it is supposed to be, so I'll let some of the more continuity-minded figure out at what point big camp folk interact with small camp folk. I did assume the negotiation that our little group would be fed and sheltered while working together. I think it's a lot less of a leap than some of the others I've seen, and it didn't negatively impact any other PCs, so I assume we're cool. |

You would probably arrive at least two hours, maybe a bit more after the current time point in the main camp: there's a cliff to climb, and while Cailin & Dana (even if Dana didn't use it) could levitate, you can't.
And for now, given the situation... No spirit ^^ Maybe it could come, but you were right not to wait for it I think. |

I think we're ok with a meet now, we can gloss the details...sadly i'm away for the weekend so no posting from me...perhaps Rick is too exasperated with stuck princesses thinking they know what he is actually thinking (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)
He's quite happy for Lindsey and Addie to negotiate for him...I think you know what he wants in principal! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Dana could come and levitate them, it is non issue.

@Irn0chid did you intend Lindsey to be so antagonistic? I am asking because she likes stirring things in a way that people depend on her and so forth - but the way she speaks it would be difficult for Dana or Caillin to like her.

No, she explicitly thought about being nice at the start of the meeting. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) She even backed off some once, but from her perception you two were not only being high and mighty, but you were also making accusations that hit too close to the truth. Then Rick wanting her to go personally to fight a toxic mage (whatever that is, but it sounds bad!) was the last straw. Better to drive you guys out and stick with the main camp than have to go into danger with a bunch of strong females. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) Basically, she perceived this whole meeting as increasingly backing her into a corner.
A lot of what Lindsey said would just be an amped up version of what I'd think a lot of the kids in the main camp think, even without her influence. Maya wasn't kicked out, she bailed. Either the small camp is evil for being full of mages or, if they're cool with mages, then that camp is hoarding them. Rick has everyone in the main camp working to help the group as a whole. You guys bailed out and are only helping yourselves, etc. Dana's made some inroads, and Cailin came in on a high note, but then lectured the guy running the show just like Maya did, and then took off, just like Maya did. Now you guys come back carrying a bounty of meat that's obviously surplus; what else do you guys have back in your camp that's better than what these kids have? Plus, going to confront some big bad mage in his lair is pretty much the antithesis of Lindsey's modus operandi. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

just to be clear though Dana does not suspect that Lindsey stole suits, she suspects that you are wasting her time and would simply not trade. This is what the bad faith is about.

Nod, but she still feels the guilt. The majority of her reaction is trying to kill the idea of her having to leave the camp and fight some mystery figure. She's been working to secure a place where she can be as comfortable as possible here and going off into the unknown with a group that she has no influence over is a horrible thought. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
My plan for the Niyaf encounter should end up with the situation defused somewhat, assuming Rick doesn't take a hard line stance (along with oodles of drama). Waiting to see if Addie wanted to react to Lindsey going off. |

Not sure where we are in the timeline. Are Maya and the others approaching or are we still on the way?

Waiting to see if Addie wanted to react to Lindsey going off. Looking forward to figuring out what it is all about. My guess is that Addie would stay with Caillin trying to fix what Lindsey has broken. Metaphorically speaking. I try to play Dana according to her social dice-pool relatively easy influenced by charismatic people as long as they try to convince her - rather than insult her into not doing it. This is why I asked for Lindsey's motivations. If she did not aim to torpedo the eintire thing - I'd edit Dana to be more cooperative. Though, Lindsey's case goes completely irrelevant once the toxic mage causes actual harm to the main camp, so if we want to work together as players - there is an out for that I think. |

Nod, there's lots of potential ways to work together, but right now the toxic mage might not even be real as far as she's concerned. Blank is the bigger threat, and getting the camp moving (with her in it) seems like the best solution for everything.

Post finally up. Sorry it wasn't sooner, but only finally sat down with the computer -- was a busy weekend.
Irn0rchid, looks like you had plans for the delegation coming up the hill -- over to you. |

So I've had that plot point planned for awhile, just happens to work well now for defusing Lindsey from yelling at the PCs more. If Rick continues to insist, she'll offer to send an elemental along to help as her physical presence contributes nothing. Her awakened status is fairly out of the bag with this group now.

Would Lindsey know about Groks fate? Is that common knowledge?

Sim knows, Dana told him the night before when she warned him about giant tigers that may till lurk in the vicinity.

OK. Maya is in the camp. If this is not the time, please let me know and I will delete the post for later.

Hmmm, thanks for that one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) I think this is clearly a case for the tribunal rather than Rick ruling outright, wouldn't you?!? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ...of course he would rather put the whole mess off until he hears about the toxic but we'll see if he gets the chance?! |

Yeah, I figured this was a good chance for the tribunal to do something as well as for the small campers to stick their noses in. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

Got an IC post up. On my phone so didn't bother with colours. I suspect that Lindsey may not want to be on prisoner watch, so I wouldn't assume this division of labour is decided yet.
And yes, Addie was deliberately trying to keep Lindsey oout of the camp, as she is beginning to finally specifically think Lindsey is trouble, and she's trying to keep things from getting inflamed. Addie is aiming for something approaching a trial, but the rest of the council may not go for that. |
