Well, the thing with the west mostly had to do with what I THOUGHT I read, but yeah I think if there were more interesting things to the east, he'd go that way instead. Not much else to see to the west and going north towards the Imperials would also have been a horrible idea. Also, I think I misconstrued your last sentence. At least I'm pretty sure you were talking about the 'silver markings' guy with the Wyld Hunt. If you were talking about me, I apologize.

Overall, it sounds fine to me, but if I really had to note his compassion, he has no sympathy for the poor who refuse to find their own food and no envy for the rich who get others to hunt it for them, as well as those who let themselves be pushed around by someone that's somehow 'superior'. Of course, I do believe that's one of the things that Lunars are trying to correct with 'Thousand Streams'. Though the experimentation looks like it would be pretty fun.

Not that I needed to explain all that since you already know it, but yeah, it's all fine to me. He'd be heading for the sources of the most interest anyway. I could mark off two things for Heart's Blood. Permission for a bird(Swallow or Raven?) and possibly a gecko? I'm just naming things off now.

Sounds good to me.

PhoenixFlame · 08-01-2011, 02:32 PM

Sounds good. I'll have some fun telling some godbloods they're doing a terrible job, I think.

Gettin in good with the Guild behind my business partner's back? Thinking up sweet little lies about how this isn't about getting in with the Guild to keep him close? Having two with the smallest endurance together? Possibly getting a Godblood into a binding contract that involves teaching me the secrets of the spirits? Sounds excellent.

Guess I'll have my own fun telling another Lunar to 'cut it out', because it doesn't sound fun attracting the attention of the Wyld Hunt.

OK everyone, just toss out what you'd make your first few priorities for fulfilling your various objectives so I can put together opening scenes for everyone.

One little garnish to add to the situation is that there's a Guild caravan passing back through from further east, having a stopover and debating hiring some extra muscle on hearing about the attacks.

Unless it's something really exotic like a nine-tailed molehound or a tyrannosaurus, go nuts.

Cap would definitely be looking to sign up as muscle for the caravan. Both because he needs to make a living at the moment and because he wants to prove the Immaculate Order wrong by finding out what is really happening to the caravans and hopefully stopping it.

Those oppressive godbloods have got to go. Lily'd probably start out making that one of her priorities, although investigating yon flying shadowland is also of particular interest. However, she can't fly, so beyond getting a good look at it and going "Yep! That's definately wrong!" I don't imagine what I could do with it.

Probably trolling the local godblooded nobility would be more her style.

Syren would probably either try to get in on muscle or see if he could get his own business in on the caravaning, citing safety in numbers. On the else he would claim to his business partner they were trying to get to the source of the evils in the forest by traveling with their primary targets.

If it's going the same direction as Harken, he might take the job if it leads him closer to that Lunar. He could put himself to use carrying heavy things or possibly lifting the wagon if they need to fix anything. If not, then he would head directly for the place where the Lunar is regardless.
