In the interest of closing this out early so dune gets to plan this week~:

Alright we plan to head back, rest/heal, head to Arborea.  Because they are FINDABLE, we'll likely head toward the Knights first, probably the white knights, talk with them, and collect information if any powerful healy/divine types are in the area (Like Gwyn) to cut away Kamvakua's curse.  If we clear that and have time left over, I'm glad for checking if there's a card there.  Overall though, I think this isn't our big trip to arborea as we need to resolve the hardsoil situation before we can really freely adventure past it.

Missing anything?   :P  Everybody but Adail has chimed in.

[VySaika]

Yeah, I'm bad about not chiming in on stuff. Anyway, that looks about right to me. The Knights should be easy enough to find. And even if nobody there can remove the curse, I'm sure someone will be able to give us an idea of who we do need to see about it. I'm sure some manner of curse removing quest will be in order, that's just how this stuff works. Maybe we can try and combine whatever that is with hunting for whichever Card wound up in Arborea once we get to do our real venture there.

[Dracos]

Heh, I rushed us this week to help avoid solidly last week's end rush :)

I have to admit, I hope that:

A)THere is a card there.
B)We have some excuse for not getting it now.

Why?  Because then we have an excuse for going back there instead of a directed 'We know that there isn't anything there for knight's quest?'

[Dracos]

Next session is sort of blind, but I figure we set out on where we are, and then go find the white knights.  If a random portal opens up to the court of stars, we take it :P

Kam hopes to get rid of his curse.  I'm less sure of what else we are doing there at this point for Hardsoil aside from just gathering a few friends to see the place still standing.

[Carthrat]

We... were coming here explicitly to get some of your friends together and tell them hey there's a place than needs help.

then possibly going back with them, surely. Failing that, cardhunt continues.

[Anastasia]

In case you haven't heard, Zeph's officially back now. Yay.

[Zephyrus]

You know you missed me. ^_^

Also I have Tentacles now. Tease me at your own peril!

[Carthrat]

While we're in Arborea, we should probably try to do something about that soul we've been lugging around, too. Every time I think about it, the temptation to trade it to someone for glorious riches increases.

[Sierra]

Bad Rat! Even Mari wouldn't approve of that.

Yes, we should do something with it there if possible. I thought Celestia was more the place for it, though?

[Anastasia]

Any of the Upper Planes is suitable to redeem a soul. They're all good, it's a matter of the focus on law/chaos that divides them.

[VySaika]

Adail will definately bring it up while there, yes.

[Anastasia]

Makes sense, I figured that was happening.

[Carthrat]

Bad Rat! Even Mari wouldn't approve of that.

Feh, it's an evil soul! We should play soccer with it.

[Anastasia]

The highest form of victory for an alignment is not to kill others of the opposing alignments, but to convert them. Slaying an evil wizard sends his soul screaming into the Lower Planes, where he becomes a fiend and continues the endless cycle. Converting the wizard away from this path and towards redemption denies the Lower Planes everything and bolsters the Upper Planes instead.

Of course, this is by far the hardest thing to do. Redeeming a human or normal mortal creature is often difficult. Redeeming something like a drow or a red dragon borders on the impossible. Changing a fiend, well...you either won the lottery or you're meant for far higher things.

More practically, soccer on! It's -nice- to redeem evil but it's hard as fuck. There's nothing wrong with 'just' killing a dragon or a demon.

[Sierra]

So, I wonder if anyone's up for random IC chatter some point between now and next session? Given that I wasn't here for today and there was a whole mess of stuff Mari should have a reaction to on the record.
