Well, as far as battle planning is concerned, I can cast Bull's Strength on Aoife and Thorun giving them +4 STR. (3 min duration means I think I can cast it before combat rounds begin) Our priest friend doesn't necessarily want more bloodshed, but removing Boho's army from the equation makes the peace he so desires much easier to attain. What do we do with our captured warriors during this fight?
If Thorun has an additional +4 to strength he's nearly guaranteed to be downing an enemy every single round. While raging that would be +11 to hit and damage would be 1d12+15. *shudder*
So... (1) Battle or (2) negotiate? Kassidy and O'Maile seem to be in favour of (2), as is Fintan. Thorun and Aoife have spoken in favour of both options, but Aoife did express a strong desire to kill the Quinns. Padraic doesn't seem to care, one way or another.
I just want to be sure. Each option has advantages and disadvantages, obviously!
Once that's decided, we can move to on your plan!
After some discussing, Ó Máille will support Aoife's position as he feels responsible for this whole mess. So my official vote is fight.

How about we fight at night, sneaking in?
Also I would like to point out Aoife in game is different from discussion. In discussion I am the player not the character. Some one else needs to bring this up to Aoife.
The Frey's gave the same offer to the Starks and look how well that turned out...
We should stash Nial, go to this dinner or whatever, and tell them if you ever want to see your son again don't harm us.

Agreed, I suppose we leave him with the NPCs? Unless one of us should stay back just in case!
We certainly CANNOT walk Nial back in.
Unless you guys need me there to intimidate people, I say Thorun should stay behind. His giant grizzly butt would probably only raise tensions, and he would be really good at watching a prisoner.
Padraic could stay behind...?
...or you could all go! Why are you nervous?
-_-
Are you really asking that?
Homo homini lupus est
I could be ignorant of cultural norms in this situation, but could Fintan and I take the prisoners to the village and make the exchange in the open? That way, we could have the rest of you nearby in case anything goes south.
Thorun is totally better suited to this than Aoife is, but she sure as hell wants in on this!
Though I as a player say that this should be denied her. Aoife was vengeance to the point of revenge. If allowed to be the champion she very likely could fall from NG to TN. Maybe even evil... I don't want that. She hasn't passed the point of no return yet, allow her to kill Sean and she will.
Aye, let the raving mad viking to the killing. His soul is already soaked in blood, what's another splash?
Plus it would be hilarious.
"Who's your champion?"
*points to Thorun*
It would be like in Game of Thrones when The Mountain was chosen as champion.
The dice roller has not been kind to Kass so far :-)
I am the anti-Wolverine, I'm the worst I am at what I do! LOL.
Ah wait, all that failure followed by the ultimate success! :-)
Interesting. My plan was for Sean to get away, and fight another day. Under the circumstances, hunting him down was meant to be near impossible.
Good rolls!

Crap followed by ridiculously good fortune. I suppose rolling well when it REALLY counts counts for something! :-)
I am a role player and not a roll player, but in this particular case, I do think that the dice make for interesting twists and turns!
In my limited experience, that's the most enjoyable way to play. Follow a storyline, but allow die rolls to add an element of random chance and surprise.

As am I! I would rather RP out a scene than simply make rolls but often times rolls increase efficiency both in table top and in PbP. :-)
Just as a quick aside sorry if I upset anybody with Thorun's RP. He's a harsh guy, and a bit of a dick. I promise that ooc I'm much nicer :)
That's how I read it. So insofar as I am concerned, no worries! But if anybody is offended, please say so so we can deal with it. Don't let it fester. We're here for fun, after all.
Does anyone know if Sanctuary laws are around now?
Okay I found statments of Sanctuary being noted as far back as 600 AD. So the real question is do we use it?
Also don't worry about your character Thorun! I never judge people by their character, but by their character.. Okay that was confusing but I think you get my meaning?

It's how I prefer my barbarians...
10/10 grumpy dick. Glad to have you ;D
Sorry I've been a bit less active lately, my mom had back surgery and I've mostly been taking care of her because well... I don't trust my stepdad to do it. He's just not good with that kind of thing.
No worries. Hope she's feeling better...
I've been less active than I would like as well. Still getting used to University.
Always focus on the stuff that really matters. Absolutely no worries. And University is such an amazing time!
Insofar as the game is concerned, it's my job to keep things moving along. I assure you that my OOC comments are not meant to be in the least passive aggressive.
Indiscreet question: what are you studying?
Word of warning: I will be AFK until Monday... Have a nice weekend!
Medical Laboratory Technology. Lots of biology and chemistry!
Oh yeah, a whole lot. I've two friends in those fields.
My wife is in medical research... Big brains. Long hours.
(Obviously, I am still around! Leaving tomorrow morning...)
First off, Oh my gods I can't believe that worked!
Second, I thought we'd be meeting back up with Fintan and the Queen?
Fintan and the Queen, along with Padraic and his bride to be, remained in Boho when you went hunting for Sean. If all goes well, they should return soon...
And yes, those dice played in your favour!
Well yes I understand that, but Aoife told them to go back to Fintan and the Queen. Since if they just find us back home would be kinda suspicious no?
As far as I understood, the goal was to get Sean to church... That being said, nothing stops you all from heading back to Boho. But I wouldn't depend on your Bluff skill to keep a secret! ;)
The way I see it, the hunt for Sean will continue one way or another, until they find out that he is in Tuaim. So if Sean's whereabouts remain a secret, given that he is your so-called sworn enemy, there is no reason for the King of Boho to suspect anything at all.
Point you have. To home!
Enjoy the break DM!
Our priest friend is a little fed up with politics :o
Not that I blame him. Aoife isn't too happy either.
*Sees other characters getting frustrated, raises axe in anticipation*
Too much politics? I'll make sure to include some action in the near future... In the meantime, enjoy the R&R!
Hey I love politics! Hell I almost when into politics... Then I decided I wanted to sleep at night! XD
But Aoife just isn't built for politics, at least not right now. Even if the dice believe she should be.
She'll learn... Personally, I find that the recent events exciting given that they are not at all what I had envisioned. Good job to all for keeping me guessing!
Honestly she's learned a lot in a short amount of time. Going from the, "I'm the person who hits things and is sad at my state in life" or "I'm still the person who hits thing, but can now talk you down as well... Also now has a bit of anger problems, but is still a nice person!"
Too much politics?
Not at all! Conflict is what makes stories interesting, dynamic, and real, but even a man of God grows weary of politics.
