Gisfal nods slightly, "Yes, time is limited. As for that idea, Jaela..."

Cor, what you're proposing is basically administrative. All these forces are participating and it's going to be somewhat abstracted, so that level of fine detail isn't really required, as much as pointing those resources in that direction. It's a fine idea, we just don't need ot get into the nuts and bolts of that particular issue that deeply, in the same way that logistics are handled in the background rather than occupying the PCs.

"...so in conclusion, those are the factors that affect that. It's possible in various forms."

"To sum it up," Jaela goes on to say, once everyone's had a chance to pitch in, "we get in contact with Makaril and have him attack the Throne. Since we'll be staying in contact, we'll be ready to Gate Aurora over to his location as soon as he reports serious devil reinforcements or communications are suddenly cut off with him. Our allies will then be asked to establish their own beachheads; we'll either detail officers to keep in contact with them or use the Sending Orbs as needed." And how lucky they are that Aurora is capable of that, now! "Tryll and Surraruthru wanted to investigate Gar Malleous and do that ritual if at all possible, so a good time for that would be once Aurora's returned to Lifasa." She nods at the pair, adding, "If you're set on going, pick whoever you'll need for your strike team."

To incorporate Gisfal and Morniel's wishes, Jaela concludes with, "The generals will be staying at Aurora and leading the main strike, but conserving our magic until one of the priority targets decides to show up. Gathgorian, Taelfagn or anyone of their caliber would do. And while we'll try for the best outcome, if all else fails we'll resort to the Benfal option. Any objections or improvements to this basic plan of action?"

"Ettan and Harkin are priority targets as well," Afina adds. "Much as we look down on the traitors competency, Ettan is a large force multiplier to any devil forces around him, and we need their sigils."

NPCs will wait on PCs to add things here. So everyone else speak up and add things, or simply OOC say yo uhave nothing to add here.

Jaela nods. "An excellent point. I'm going off the intelligence that suggests they will be with the Duke of Destiny, but they can always attack us head on once we've Gated for the battle."

"I can probably head to wherever Ettan is found, assuming of course he actually takes to the field and isn't just hiding out somewhere. I think I could counter his abilities well enough with my own." Moore says. "Otherwise I can just be assigned to support whichever endeavors work at the time."

Yuthirin

'Provided there aren't wards up against it, I should be able to teleport anyone to wherever they need to go should the need arise.'
What if they're not stars at all? What if the night sky is full of titanic far-off lidless eyes, staring in all directions across eternity?

Iron Dragoon

OOC note: I still need to do the Chaos Gem thingy. What were you saying the time for that for completion was? Is it something I can get done overnight or the like?

We have a weekish, so go ahead and look that up for me, would you?

It starts here and goes for about six posts after: http://www.soulriders.net/forum/index.php/topic,104041.msg1104204.html#msg1104204

You never really stated a time for it, but it seemed like it could be done quickly; I just ran out of time that day.

Okay, get all the posted info on how it'll work and post it here OOC.

Alrighty, I'll C/P for notations what I think is important/what you're asking for.

Quote from: AnastasiaIt's Tepen who speaks up first when it's all done. "Surraruthru," he begins, "You've cobbled and compressed this ritual down to something you can do in a few hours rather than decades of effort," he begins evenly. "There's a certain amount of inherent risk to that."

Quote from: AnastasiaKascha shakes her head, "I'm estimating about an 80% chance of success, roughly."

Quote from: AnastasiaTepen clears his throat, then goes on, getting a smile from Sylvie. "In essence, yes. Do be careful. I concede that our needs and pressures dictate such a ritual, but do not take it lightly. Baleruk's support will doubtless help, many rules cease to matter with divinity of any stripe."

I made an inquiry about doing it in the Cauldron:

Quote from: Anastasia"It might help and I think Seira would appreciate it," Kascha says

That was about the sum total of the workings of the ritual you went over. So I take it to mean there's basically an 80% success chance, which will go up if I do it in the Cauldron and/or get any divine help I can.

The original intent was gone over here: http://www.soulriders.net/forum/index.php/topic,104041.msg1104199.html#msg1104199


Quote from: Iron DragoonMy goal is to retain as much of the Chaos Diamond abilities and hardness/DR/whatever it translates to as possible.
Basically, I want to be able to get as much of the Chaos Diamond stuff as SLAs, and to be retained when I pull scales off, essentially making my scales into Chaos Diamonds when pulled off. If I had to pick one or the other, I'd prefer to have the scales be Chaos Diamonds and not have the SLAs.

I'm not sure if Library bonus applies or not so I'm rolling without it. If it does, add +15 to stuffs.

> roll 8#1d20+57 Spellcraft
<Serith> Iddy roll for Serith < 75, 73, 68, 64, 63, 63, 65, 59 >

As Bibliotheca Arcana is part of my standard daily buffs, I shall add the bonus for it.

> roll 8#1d20+58+15 K:A
<Serith> Iddy roll for Serith < 91, 83, 89, 84, 75, 80, 91, 76 >
