To Heir is Human II - Planning VII Options

[Lord Revan]

Tell me about it......

[Dantrag]

Dalrus does not like Altair, however, she does not think he is evil, she just thinks he is a political person who wants to become popular. I want to get her a little more involved in the plot. Anyway I can do that?

Well if she sticks with Rann, she'll be more involved; the plan is to have Rann get sucked in to Veric's plot without knowing who he's really working for.

This seems like something that could easily put a rift between Dalrus and Rann, though, since she's always been anti-democracy. Really depends on how far Dalrus decides to support Rann's (sometimes stupid) decisions.

[Lord Revan]

Let's just call Rann's decisions rash and risky at times and leave it at that. Dalrus did apologize for what she said in the council chamber and blamed her father's bias for her anti-democratic views before she was captured.

[Dantrag]

True. But since she listens to good sense a little more than Rann, I don't see her putting up with it for a long period of time.

But also, she isn't my character so I don't know for sure.

[Lord Revan]

I don't remember Patholos ever giving where Astratus was, so even if Rann chose a sewer entrance near the commander, he'll be noticed by the Narza'Tai shortly after he gets down there.

[Dantrag]

It's not that they know that Arastus is there, but that it's the only way to pass into different districts without passing through large battles, and they know Arastus was fighting on the other side.

[jack cloudy]

If going through the sewers though, you're bound to run into some Narza'tai, perhaps even Flint.

(Hmm, that could prevent Kalsh from spilling the beans on the Veric scenario. Rann comes by and decides to drag Flint along.)

[minque]

Ok...sorry for not being online for a few days but...that´s life!

Anyway....what is Amrita up to regarding Satyana? And also would it be ok if she side with Issac in the battle?...I mean nobody else care abot her so!

I´d like her to get hurt....really bad, so bad that maybe even Rann will forget his agony against her and will come to her aid.....

(jeez I don´t know how to get them to talk again..maybe he would feel sorry for her if she´s hurt...she´s his damn sister after all! )

[jack cloudy]

Throw a wagon at the Sil, that usually works.

Ehm, in a more serious tone. I don't know how Rann will react if Sathyana gets hurt. Probably it depends on how she gets hurt in the first place. Sure, he'll worry about her, but will he forgive her for all the stuff he blames her on? From what I've seen so far, unlikely.

I wouldn't be surprised if he finds a way to blame Issac for her injuries which would only serve to further the gap between those two.

[Lord Revan]

Great, Issac existance must spawn all of the problems in Rann's world..... Is this gap going to remain until the end of the RP where everything is supposed resolved (by Veric getting sent to Oblivion)? That seems like a common thing to happen in some stories.

[Dantrag]

maybe it won't end at all...

[Lord Revan]

What? Like everyone gets invulnerable and the finall battle never ends? I'm pretty sure that we won't be able to keep this up for a single decade, Dantrag!

[The Metal Mallet]

Basically what Amrita is telling Satyana is that she'll attempt to break the rift between Satyana and Rann if Satyana conceeds that rumours about Altair is false and that he can be trusted. Basically, since Issac doesn't appear to be budging from his position on the situation, Amrita is giving the option to side with either Rann or Issac.

[minque]

Oh..heck!
No matter what Satyana does, there will be.....trouble! Don´t expect her to choose between Issac and Rann! That would be more than cruel...

Anyway she will join Issac now.... And about starting to trust Altair? Hmm.....not likely, because she has great confidence in Ian and Issac....but we´ll see, she might consider telling Amrita what she wants to hear...

[Lord Revan]

I remember that Satyana was the first to worry about Altair, sensing his "evilness." Issac just didn't like the politician, but when they started talking, he reevaluated his position.

[minque]

Yup I remember....but Satyana can play along if she likes!.. Anyway I just posted Satyana throwing a sweet spell.....

[The Metal Mallet]

This is a response to Revan's OOC:

Sure, they were the first ones fighting the battle, and sure the soldiers would appreciate their help, but neither of them appear to be "people persons". They weren't issuing commands to the soldiers; they weren't keeping their hopes up by offering hopeful words. Technically, to me it just seemed like they were fighting off by themselves, it just so happens that there were soldiers nearby.

[Lord Revan]

Florodine: Did you mean The Black Horse Courior?

Metal Mallet: It seems to me that inspirational speeches are only half of being a hero, they inspired Atratus, who made a (short) speech to his men, and sent them out to help. While everyone might not know them, I'd think they're a little reassured to have people on their side capable of leading a charge if anything......

Other than holding their own in the two-to-hundreds battle long enough for the army to arrive and get a victory, Ian's also saved Astratus' life in front of his men and fought alongside them against Mannimarco's undead when he took over their dead comrades....... You want Ian and Karn to start making speechs?

[Dantrag]

I think his point was that they're both loners with great combat skill; a great asset to be sure, but battle skill doesn't equate to leadership. But it's really up to the characters, not us, and my character will push for Flogir, but it doesn't necessarily mean he'll succeed. (as a matter of fact, it probably means that he won't because not many people respect Rann's opinions.)

[Lord Revan]

Alright, one last point though-

That's true for Ian, but Karn's been forced to swiftly become one. He convinced the Dark Brotherhood assassins at Deep Scorn Hollow to forsake Sithis and forge a new beginning. Since, then he hasn't made speeches, but he tends to lead by example.

It could be pointed out that no sneak attacks by the Silhoutte's forces from underground prove his effectiveness in stratagy.
