Query: Are you guys going to want to start right where you left off, or that night when you guys can talk amid yourselves or...?

That night I think.

Also, um...  This has come up twice.  As a Knight of the Stars, how DOES Kam get back into the court when needed?  I was previously playing it as something that just happened when it needed to (Playing up the Mythological angle of it, you don't find the court of stars, it finds you), but it sorta seems like it should be knowledge he has as we're not taking a mythological angle on it but active random folks getting to walk in and out of it.

OOC, basically, I don't want the only options to be here 'Go with him' or 'wander aimlessly while he easily gates right back in, hoping to stumble across a portal'.  I did the latter before for the myth angle but it seems out of context with what the NPCs are doing.
Well, Goodbye.

The nature of the Court of the Stars is that you find your way to it when you need it. Assuming you need it, Kam would know the way will reveal itself in the soft nights of Arborea. It's very much a faith thing.

Honestly, I do not mind either way. More talking is fine.

While in the Court of the Stars:

You have a week to kill here. What you can do follows, though it's far from everything. Feel free to ask for things that interest you - for example, I imagine Nikkolai will seek out magical knowledge or training. Most of this doesn't apply to Mari since she's spoken for.

- You can feast, make merry and generally have fun. If you don't really want to do anything but kill time this is fine.
- You can practice with the various eladrin knights.
- You can take in and indulge in eladrin art and culture in this fairy-tale realm.
- You can buy any non evil or non lawful magic item at standard prices, as well as sell any items. Purchased items still require my approval.
- You can seek guidance from the eladrin on how you life your lives and improve yourselves towards Chaotic Good.

Mari is busy for all of those, save for shopping for a mix of gameplay and practical reasons.  Assume that whatever happens to her allows for enough discretion to do any upkeep shopping she needs. Some of you may require side sessions during the week, Mari will for certain. Some of you may want to take some time to chat as well(I think Nikkolai and Adail have an overdue chat coming too?) amid yourselves, feel free.

What all will you be doing, guys?

Nikk has three main goals:

1. Talking Balinbomb into fetching the Phylactery.
2. Learning what magic he can from what denizens of the realm that he can.
3. Maybe getting a little hax for his fight with the Lich?

Sierra

Mari's training montage could be scheduled for sometime over the weekend, perhaps? Doesn't really matter to me when since my other weekend games aren't running this time around.

-I must speak with Rogue in private sometime. I'm rather ambivalent on him presently. Since it's in private I might have the other Cards speak as well.
-I'd like to do some private research on Baator.
-I'd like to speak with Gwynharwyf as well; I'd prefer to do so in private, but I can easily accompany Kam to a training session and talk to him there.
-Mmm, I might speak with Nikkolai whilst we're here sometime.
-As for training itself, I assume Knight does that all the time. I don't think it needs a scene to cover it explicitly, unless something INTERESTING happens. When it comes to her speciality I assume she can hold her own, so jousts and brutal slugfests are where it's at for her.

Oh, and list what days an times you can be around coming up, so I can better schedule.

Training hard with Lady Gwynharwyf would be my highest priority, focusing on learning from her or her other knights anything and everything about taking on dragons or liches.  Prolly ask her privately if she has any idea where Nikkolai dropped her phylactry since that's a standing important plot point.  I suspect since I've been here before and will be here again that living it up here at the moment really isn't high on kam's priorities.  He's got a huge mountain ahead and he means to climb it and live through it with his whole team intact.  If that means he has to figure out ways to go farther so Mari or Nikkolai doesn't get killed, we'll, he'll try not to get killed himself doing so this time :P   Glad to do a side session on this, possibly with knight, though getting my ass kicked repeatedly probably won't take long :P

Mari unleashed a pretty neat hook.  :)  So cute. :P  

I rather appreciated that background element favoring Kam over Rogue and my fears on that being ungrounded.  Sorry for doubtin' Dune.

uh...um.  schedulin' hard.  around late, usually.  if something is happening, around reliably by normal session time usually.  Saying when beforehand hard.
Well, Goodbye.

Carthrat

There's 14 hours difference between us, remember.

All of my Saturday, from 9am-2am the following Sunday works for me, basically. I think you're usually around then? (so, your friday night or sat morning is very likely fine.)

1. Adail wants to talk to Rogue a bit, largely giving him the "So You Want To Be A Hero?" rundown from someone a bit more his level instead of a Power. I'd actually prefer to cover that with me typing up a post or PM of Teach Me Adail Sensei, as you know how much of a pain doing extra sessions is for me. Especially as I have Persona stuff coming up as well.

2. Uh, Adail was gonna help Nik try and clean up his act to snag the moon maiden, but I forgot what specific advice I had in mind though.

3. Yeah, Adail is big on training. Will definately put some hours into that if he can round up any local fist fighters to spar with.

4. The armor is getting a bit annoying to carry around. If I try and sell/trade that here, what might I be able to get for it?
All About Monks
<Marisa> They're OP as fuck
<Marisa> They definitely don't blow in 3.5
<Marisa> after a certain level they basically just attack repeatedly until it dies
<Marisa> they're immune to a bunch of high level effects
<Marisa> just by being monks

1 should be IC, others can be depending on how that goes. What days work good for you coming up?

Saturday morning or Sunday morning sound good to you?

Talking to Rogue is obviously IC, as is talking to others. The research can be done OOC, what are you looking for about Baator? How are you looking for it?

How about Thursday night, Kam? This depends somewhat on a few external factors, like if you and Knight talk to Gwynharwyf together or not. You can also fight Gwyn if you like in a sparring, though you're realistic about your chances to win.

1 is fine, type it up and either post or PM it, depending if you want it done public or private. As for 4, you'd need to hunt around for a buyer for that. A gather info check could help here to find a buyer, as could a good plan or something else. Selling this is a bit of a trick, think about it a bit.

@Dune: I need to inquire about Avernus' command structure. Specifically, I need to find out how mortals factor into it and how they come by employment there. Ok, a lot of the time it's forced slavery, but I think some bravos do it for money and power, too, so I'd like to know if there's any existing systems to help them. I'm also looking for travelogues of prior adventurers who've been there, and if there are any 'normal' or common ways mortals travel through and get around that area. For instance, I know OOC how the blood war works and how writs of passage can be granted to give mortals safe harbour in certain areas; are there any known ways to secure one, save forgery?

I think I can find this out via asking eladrin veterans or studying tactical manuals of 'how to lead crusades against Baator'.
