the imperious... imprints? impresses?

[groundrules]

The Imperious and her delicious cargo are slowly creep-creeping their way to the icy port citadel of Sa-Hareth, leaving a narrow opportunity for the Archeval-led rescue mission of incoming captives .

To keep things tidy, everyone’s welcome to ask general event questions or specific test-drive meme ones, and to chatter about the fate of the Imperious. Remember: actions have consequences, and sinking the boat too close to the port could congest naval traffic for the foreseeable future.

Test-driving players: Eastbound’s so far survived on locust-style enthusiasm for out-of-the-box plotting, so don’t be afraid to pitch plots or ask tangential questions. The general guideline is that as long as you don’t break the sandbox, you don’t need mod permission, and you can check out the locations page if you need a map or general grasp of Sa-Hareth.

Hydrate & have fun, now with zombie mermaids!

Upper limbs like you lower limbs like us... or something. And yes, sharp teeth.

Are there NOT undead mermaids?

[groundrules]

Pre-storm, the mermaids are very much alive and well. Post-storm, well... climate change strikes them.

The mermaids swam alongside the ship, so they came from warmer pastures, without their winter coats :(

[topoiran]

Oh no, the poor dears...

Anyway did the mermaids sense the mirror once it was on board, or did the mirror come from their realm... They seem pretty determined.

[groundrules]

Sorry — to clarify: you're asking this as something Su Xunxian would try to glean from the fish/mermaids?

[topoiran]

Asking oocly, pretty sure fishes are a bit too local for THAT much knowledge.

[groundrules]

Okay! The mermaids... coexisted with that particular mirror at one point in time. It would be foolish to say they owned it. They might insist otherwise.

[topoiran]

Noted.

OH and back to things Xunxian WOULD try, from somewhere safe though. Could he communicate with the mermaids, undead though they may be? If so, how partial...

[groundrules]

Has he ever been canonically shown able to communicate with humanoid (partly animal) creatures, or with other magical entities, or has this not really come up?

[topoiran]

It hasn't come up, there are no actual magical entities that are not human appearing in the show. ... other than one thing that gets into people but that one communicates in plain speech so.

[groundrules]

Okay, so we're in uncharted territory.

I'm going to say... yes, but imperfectly. So either sometimes they don't 'vibe' with him linguistically, or maybe he doesn't understand them 100%.

[topoiran]

Oh this is fun. Now to sleep and think of questions he might miscommunicate / misunderstand the answers to. /rubs hands
