Unhalad's knock knock knocking at your door...!

[groundrules]

Last few steps of the Sa-Hareth stretch come with Unhalad's mini 16-17 June siege event and the ensuing few days of marauding. Feel free to use that post as a log base, or do your own thing, and discuss any character plans here.

Many thanks to Kalyn, who is lending us Winnie as effective live bait over the event! She won't... regret it...

If you want to have characters severely wounded or killed, there will be more healers and necromancers available in both options for the upcoming arc — for a fee.

The sorceress Karsa will be available on premise once she enters the farmhouse, and you are welcome to NPC her helping your character's plans. To give you an idea, Karsa's primary offensive skillset is fire, so be careful what you have her do in closed quarters. She will not be able to teleport anyone out because the swarm of undead surrounding the farmhouse make it difficult to 'land' safely.

As a result of this... unfortunate domestic development, the Merchant won't be presenting his options on the 15th as initially scheduled, and this will have to be delayed to 17 June. But! Characters should still be out of Sa-Hareth by 21-22 June. Goodbye, winter wasteland. We barely knew ye.

1) sheep, help

2) there are no undead in his world so yeah his powers are generally tooled for the living only.

3) i meant severely maimed but i'll leave it up to rakel. RAKEL, HOW TRAUMATIZED DO WE WANT WEI WUXIAN? i have no opinion

4) i will consult britt

verdict: i cannot make a single decision myself apparently

2. I'd say, he isn't a necromancer, so no — that'd be my gut instinct, I don't know how you feel about it?

3. Sure — just let me know if he croaks, so I can add.... tools to keep him alive, ahem.

2) thinky face, i really don't mind either way it was just a flavor thing. like undead don't exist in his canon so everything would be untested vs undead, and then we get into what is the difference between the undead and the living... how do they function... what does the control magic i haven't thought out very well do to actually control people...

so i'm ok just saying nah! hopefully there will be more living people in the future to force into sham marriages through body control, what do you mean my example is worryingly specific—

Okay, let's go with no this time, but.

...Mingyu is welcome to draft in innocents from the outside. You know. In the forest. They're a combo of human and less-so.

his power is more 1-on-1! he can only control one person at a time, and he has to focus all of himself on it so he can't be like, doing anything else at that time. but like if five wants to kidnap someone again, it is good to know there are viable hostages in the forest.

[groundrules]

Well, Five does have the forest person inside the house, and he's alive, but.

...



Mingyu, come on :(

it's a great power to have in bed? what do u want from him

re: 3, I'd probably go for severely maimed at this point, mostly because I think the dramatic irony of it is greater if Jiang Cheng dies learning he has Wei Wuxian's golden core and sacrifices himself in some pigheaded attempt to allow Wei Wuxian to continue living and thus they can have it out over their cycle later on

granted we could make that happen in this event with Wei Wuxian snapping back he has no other options, he doesn't have a golden core, but not sure how well that would penetrate or if it would only help Jiang Cheng do something stupid in proof of ???

basically narratively how are you most entertained in playing this?

[descendency]

OH MAN RAKEL I LOVE YOUR BRAIN

i am also 10000% UP FOR JIANG CHENG getting maimed/killed multiple times for wei wuxian. karmatic revenge motherfucker!!!

so yes maimed is good for this time, i am COMMITTED to dramatic core reveal and pigheaded heroic sacrifice!!!

[weifinder]

lmf good they can be each other's own worst nightmares on this going forward FOR NOW, he and wangji can drag jiang cheng to eleven in time to save his life


but maybe not his arm--

no
