Re: Keychain of Creation IV: The Lore Thing
Stealing from the peasants.
Can't we leave that to the Satraps?
On a side note, I still think they're Green Sun Princes, scouting the Circle who killed their Blood Ape.My Homestuck role is Thane of Space of the Land of Insanity and Frogs.
The Malkavians would be proud.

Re: Keychain of Creation IV: The Lore Thing
I did a post on this not long ago. The short is: There are the 10,000 Dynasts of the realm (who actually turn out to be 20,000, but they never updated the name) plus 10-20k more terrestrials officially accounted for somewhere in the world (several thousand in lookshy), and with a little bookkeeping and official numbers we come up with a conservative estimate of 2-400,000 lost eggs who are... somewhere?

Re: Keychain of Creation IV: The Lore Thing
On the other side of the secret tunnel? After several weeks of travel? That's assuming that they knew about the tunnel, and correctly guessed that that whatever killed the blood ape also knew about the tunnel, and that they knew which road they would follow after exiting it.
Sure, it's not impossible, especially in a setting like this, but it still doesn't seem that likely. I'd rather guess that they're just random mooks and that the challenge for our exalts lies in not giving up their cover while dealing with them.Hark! An avatar drawn by Kate Beaton!

Re: Keychain of Creation IV: The Lore Thing
Plus, it's worse if large numbers gather together. And when they took the 3 prophecies, every Sidereal in existence was in the same place.
Yeah. That turned out well.He fears his fate too much, and his reward is small, who will not put it to the touch, to win or lose it all.

Re: Keychain of Creation IV: The Lore Thing
Very true. One would argue that the Usurptation worked very well. It's just the goal of the plan itself was flawed.

Re: Keychain of Creation IV: The Lore Thing
Well, I dunno about that one. One could make a case that the execution was rather botched (making the Mask go "boom" and mass casualties and myriad errors and such) - and given how psycho the Solars were getting, the goal doesn't look all that bad from where I'm standing...

Re: Keychain of Creation IV: The Lore Thing
I'd think taking truly massive casualties should be expected if you're trying to kill 300+ high essence Celestial Exalts with 100 Celestial Exalts and a extremely large number of terrestrial exalts. And, yes, the plan had other problems in execution, but overall it went very well.

Re: Keychain of Creation IV: The Lore Thing
Indeed. It should be noted that in old China, 10,000 usually translated to "a bloody lot, don't bother counting higher, there's just too many." So I think the "10,000 Dragons" is more of a name than actual data.
Sidereals always get that. I personally think they should be cut some slack. They had a lousy position, and they took optimized choice; the best balance between quality of the outcome and probability of success. It wasn't a bad idea. It was a bad problem.
True, they could have been less arrogant, and investigated what sources of error there might be, but that's the curse for ya.Quoth the raven, "Polly wants a cracker."

Re: Keychain of Creation IV: The Lore Thing
Hence, the goal of the plan was flawed, and largely due to the curse.
Which is what I said.Last edited by Tavar; 2010-10-12 at 07:39 PM.

Re: Keychain of Creation IV: The Lore Thing
Horngeek: Sure
Coidzer: No one in game, except for whom the DM designates. Popular ones are the Maiden of Secrets, Nara-O, Lytek, that one wyld-crazy god, and the ones that set it in motion. Redeemed Abyssals could know but probably dont.

Re: Keychain of Creation IV: The Lore Thing
What are these eggs you guys keep referring to? And what are the db's expression of the great curse?
