Shifting Sands [Closed]

After a period of waiting and getting ready, Mahirid, King of the Gerudo, has ordered a march to the south. Lysis had just arrived at the fortress in search of her friend, and was detained by the guard as per security rules. She was marched along with the group until she was able to earn their trust. But they have a long journey ahead of them. And Lysis still needs to find her friend...

Lysistrata Sil, reward: 60r
Lucian, reward: Wall Kick
Chimera, reward: 75r
Castus, reward: Gerudo Dragon, Helm Splitter

Well, here we go. Mod team, post here to tell me if I go out of line with anything I post in the thread.

Re: Shifting Sands [Open]

Chimera will be joining this, and starting to save up for her companion. As a Gerudo, she gets 75 rupees

Re: Shifting Sands [Open]

Yes, I should clarify. If you're a Hylian aiding the army you have the ability to learn one of those two Gerudo Racials but it isn't free. I know the wording in the quest could be read either way.

Another way of putting it is "You get 60 rupees to spend on quest rewards. One of the quest rewards that you could purchase is the Gerudo Dragon, even though your character isn't a Gerudo." Does that make sense?

Keep in mind too that simply aiding gives you a less tangible reward of being recognized by the Gerudo King (and I can plan the plot further based around things like that). Consequently, that means there may be future reward opportunities down the road that increase the reward or give access to unique rewards because you're a returning contributor.

Basically, even if you don't get the Gerudo Dragon now, there may be larger rewards in the future for contributing to the plot. I've been playing around with the idea of adding a race to HC based on plot engagement, for example.

Anyway, leave a post when you guys have finalized your RP team and rewards and I'll come back through here, or you can ask questions if you'd like.

Re: Shifting Sands [Open]

I'll throw in Castus, and take Gerudo Dragon and Helm Splitter for my rewards.

Re: Shifting Sands [Open]

Raz, check; Tsu, check; Knog, Gerudo Dragon needs to be deducted from the reward, also, add a link to Lysis' character sheet into your signature; Cloudzy: Wall Kick will be fine.

Raz and Tsu are clear to go.

Also, yikes, four people.

Re: Shifting Sands [Open]

Right, that's done. We ready?

Re: Shifting Sands [Open]

Cleared for take-off.

Re: Shifting Sands [Open]

Posted, cued Clooby.

It has BEGUN.

Re: Shifting Sands [Open]

So it has O:

Keep in mind, if you'd like to interact with Mahirid himself then it will need to be done via the NPC. Send me a PM or drop a reply in here if you so desire such an engagement

Re: Shifting Sands [Open]

Hey guys, just so we don't have to turn anyone away, shouldn't we change the title of this thread from open to closed?

Re: Shifting Sands [Open]

Since you're no longer accepting registrations, the title should be changed. I'll do it now.

K. Cued Clooby again.

I'd also like a scene in which Mahirid did some battle tactics/strategy for this upcoming fight. It's his army, he'd most likely be the one to direct it.

Same again.

Moar Kingly posts, please. At least until the battle is finished, at any rate.

If someone else wants to post, feel free. I'm knee deep in my last week of finals and such, so I probs can't get a post out till next week at the earliest.

Clooby.

1, How the hell did the archers spot the swimmers, who are, by the way, out of bowshot?
2, the order was not given for the swimmers to charge the other end of the bridge, which is what Lysis was saying anyway. They were given the signal to cross the river. There was going to be a separate signal or sign for them to charge so that they would not all get slaughtered. Unless your character is on the end with the bulk of the forces?

Please, edit your post.

On the first point, I reiterate. OUT. OF. BOW. SHOT.

On the second point, I need to remind you that it would be odd and exceedingly out of character for any gerudo who is taking orders from her king (who they all (excepting perhaps one or two of the PCs) willingly follow) to so blatantly disobey like that. The army that Mahirid is commanding is maybe 500-600 people strong at the most generous guess, currently, probably more like 400-450. Likely 5/6ths or higher of those people are Gerudo. As in, less than 100 are Hylian. And who's to say the hylians are all in the swimmer's group?

Guys, calm down. It's alright to debate stuff like this, but keep it civil. I'm not saying anything about what you're talking about, since I'm not involved enough in your thread to really know, but I do know that arguing over the smaller details is detrimental to the thread. There's come a point when you just handwave and keep posting. I'm not saying you're there yet, but keep that in mind.
