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.

Mingyu will be sticking close to Fox but will be providing whatever backup he can to people in the immediate vicinity. As a reminder, he can lay traps, clone objects he's familiar with the properties of, annnnd that's about it since they don't have undead in his world so he's woefully unprepared for this kind of siege.

At some point, he will be bequeathing Vanya a brand new cello.

Jiang Cheng will be outside with Wei Wuxian as undead bait and backup, and will at some point take a critical hit, whereupon he will bequeath Jiang sect to his beloved sect-brother. Dramatic deathbed confessions will be had regardless of whether or not he kicks it.

Ultimately, my IC and OOC vote for the end of this arc is we dispose of Unhalad and Anurr both for just being kinda rude af and crown Tamaiu as Queen of Sa-Hareth who's with me.

[topoiran]

Xunxian might support Tamaiu as Queen. He's just not sure how much he can help with the actual getting people there, but details.

[weifinder]

lmf as long as you had backup for how she was gonna rule

[bearshermark]

El has long dreamed of taking down both undead warlords bc what does he know about power vacuums lmao. Surely they could nominate someone living after a bit of peaceful debate right.

[binghua]

politics are shit but xingchen could be down for queen tamaiu

she's definitely a more pleasant alternative

[darkeststars]

If Tamaiu actually wants it and thinks she's prepared for it -- and perhaps more importantly, if she can scrounge up enough people with pointy objects who are loyal to her to actually hold the area in her name -- Arche would get behind this. She's definitely the mercenary type but honestly, if we aren't forced to settle for one of the existing warlords, pretty much anything is better than the current undead dictatorship of Sa-Hareth. If someone told Arche we were shipping in a Hutt to install here he'd be like yeah sure fine.

Jiang Cheng do you want fox to equip you with a mirror lure to be terrible terrible bait

also Lee Chang does not support putting Tamaiu as queen but honestly she's better than both of them so he could be convinced if he didn't think she was going to get immediately stabbed
