The Eye of Anubis: OOC Thread

[Kaitou Kage]

Just remember that Haste has a very short duration

[lostboy]

true so we would need to plan stuff properly. It really woudl suck for the spell to run out just as your leading a bunch of giant undead sabre-toothed tigers into a trap.

[The Whistler]

Awesome! That brings two out of three-ish undead factions to bear on Cavvy, then, and provides gainful employment for one out of our three heavies. So, more questions:

-How about Charles? Perhaps some diplomacy with a third faction? It'd be trickier to pull off... Any ideas?

-Which group is Andre talking with, and which group is Khalil goading?

[lostboy]

which group is Khalil goading?

One he can outrun

[NeoTiamat]

There are three factions in the area which I'll provide somewhat more details on IC (Ianthe can describe them), but not at the moment since I've got to run away.

Quick rundown:

A bunch of plague-based undead.

A group of undead composed of bits of skin.

A Devourer interloper pushing around some zombies.

I think it'll be better to bring our "allies" to Cavendish rather than trying to draw Cav's cats and such away from the eye. If we can create a melee, that'll make it more difficult for Cav to direct his troops and focus.

[Rock of the Fraternity]

Or we could use our *hack cough* 'allies' to keep Cav's patrols busy, so we don't get attacked from behind when we start the big push (tm).

[NeoTiamat]

Well, alright, the planning can continue at the Graveship also. If possible, I'd like to move over to then either tonight or tomorrow sometime.

Few notes:

-If you guys are going to be spending early tomorrow chatting with undead and scouting about, you can probably make multiple trips to the supply ships, though I want to see someone actually making actions towards constructing a sledge or taking other steps, otherwise I'll just go and figure out how much encumbrance you've got, which will be unlikely to add up to 64 Kegs.

-I would like Otto and Andre, and anyone who wants to go along with Devereux for the ride, to contact me in IM for when they want to handle the scouting/negotiations.

Just count Ishaq in for transporting heavy stuff. After that he's ready to go ape on Cavndish's behind.

I am not even going to comment on this.

Oh, also, for a certain level of scale.... 64 barrels of gunpowder comes out to two and a half tons.

I've updated my tl;dr plotting post with the new information. Let me know if I've missed anything!

Might be useful.

[Nathan of the FoS]

Maybe I'll go talked to our hundred-eyed friend. Someone as clever as all that can see the benefits of co-operation, I would think.

[Kaitou Kage]

Would that be the Argus?

[lostboy]

Depending on the naswer to the question Khalil posed IC the devourer and his zombies are either the best or the worst bet to get to charge Cavendish's goons. Also IM guessing least likely to repsond to intellignet conversation, so Khalil wil do the running if you want. He coudl either lead them into the eye or on a roundabout cross-country jog touring the eye looking for other dead things to kick.

But lets also start thinkgin what we are doign with that gunpowder. The expedition inventory contains a sledge that can carry 2 tonnes, we've also got wheelbarrows, winches and cranes. Therefore if we make a short journey back to cmap we dont necesserily need to fabricate something from scratch.
