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.

... L M F A O of course he's the one who ended up cursed, good work, Five! Here you were mocking Wei Wuxian for his fish incident and look at you now, Xiao Five

Do you think in his being a target he'll be poofing between locations? If he goes fringe Wei Wuxian can back him up with Spirits filled with resentment, which it sounds like he may be feeling, to various degrees. They're not largely physically, but can strike physically: point being if Five's being targeted then Wei Wuxian can help back him up to take care of Unhalads or Anurr faction having a go at him.

In either case, what do you generally think he'll be popping around doing and how much is Lan Wangji going to love that playing clarity for this guy may actually be helpful now

[somebadnews]

It was so easy to mock. I mean, everyone did it. :(

Yes and yes. Considering the circumstances he will be teleporting a lot during this. Both offensively and defensively, and he will definitely wear himself out at some point and could probably use the backup. The... potentially upsetting backup. Would Five absorb them and make them less helpful?? All these questions.

lmao yes... He knew there was a conspiracy against him. It sucks being right all the time.

[weifinder]

You are not wrong, they all did, it is true--

................. Okay yeah that's one to toss to our dearest mod as I have no idea the way his curse functions, but laughs yeah, LET US LEARN

The conspiracy against the demon inside you that... is really... just your anger and grief and resentment................. from being stranded in the apocalypse with your mannequin for decades

[somebadnews]

Just wait until you figure out your curse. That better have been a real thing!

Couldn't you get sprits filled with a more positive emotion? Honestly. Do you need Five to absorb more resentment... (But we'll check.)

* with his wife, excuse you. But the rest of that is accurate. He doesn't socialize well, what can you do.

[weifinder]

......................... I should ask but I think I'll do that after seeing if Sizhui manages to purify the pool or not lmf

Uh, spirits with positive emotions usually move on after death? Really? ALso this resentment is all gonna be likely war linked or starvation or things of that nature, illness, being in a citadel under two undead warlords in less than two decades, you know how it goes...

How would he know that was your wife he doesn't even know he's married

[somebadnews]

Let me know immediately when you find out. Or if Sizhui gets cursed too. That fish is delightful.

Okay! Good news: the sprits won't affect him, because the mirror only takes from flesh bodies. So you didn't just doom him while trying to help, great work.

He never asked. That's a very common question...

[weifinder]

Laughs it will probably be tomorrow, but I will let you know! Also Ruxi says Wei Wuxian is the Yiling Patriarch, he's already cursed, and Ruxi is not wrong about this. /moment of silence

Hahaha okay sounds good, he can help and not make things worse which is nice when it goes that way!

... Who goes around asking if you're married that's private???

[somebadnews]

Yes fine, but you can have more than one. I don't know what would lift everyone's mood more than finding out what the fish curse is.

It'll be a great time. So many bonding moments with the two of them... constantly helping Five out of jams.

I guess he'll just have to wait until he's listening to Five talk to himself when he's alone pretending Dolores is there. Like you do.
