This game will go on hiatus, as someone else gets a chance to run, and I build up some material for the next stretch. We’ll start up at some point with 5th level characters. Switch characters if you wish.
In the mean time, I’d like some input as to what I should prepare for.
What follows are some questions to answer, and some options that you might follow.
Questions:
1) Do you tell anyone about what you have learned? Your characters know things that no one else knows. Perhaps others have discovered the existence of the Bahumati too, but it seems unlikely that anyone knows all that you were able to learn from Trakas Wingsong. Sihirbaz and Nadarr know – and they may be passing the information along to the rulers and nobility of the colony. But if they are, they haven’t told you about it. Do you want to go to some other authority?
2) What will you do with Merdosh and the Crown of Trakas? He may be in danger, and the Bahumati may seek him out. Do you want to separate him from the crown? Do you want to try to destroy the Crown? Do you want to take Merdosh/Trakas with you as you go forward? They have knowledge that might help you. Do you want to hide him away somewhere that might be safer?
Options:
1) Wait for the action to come to you. You have something they want. Sit tight and let the enemy show their hand, then decide how to proceed.
2) Return to the Auchak region, and try to “liberate” the town that you saw there.
3) Travel to Ulhar, Charir, Aussier, or Vutha portals (you have sigils for them). Perhaps just to scout out possible danger. Perhaps to try to learn enemy plans and thwart them.
4) Travel up the coast to the other colonies. Find out what they know about the Bahumati. Warn them.
5) Something else?

As a drgonborn Perra is driven by honor. He feels compelled to eradicate the Bahumati and free those enslaved by them. His vote is to liberate the Auchak town. However, a full frontal assault may not be the best way to do that. Perhaps there's a chance we can find allies in another region to join the cause. Maybe an opportunity to build a coalition. With that thought, he suggests we tell the authorities in Fort Aralan and see if they would at least agree to supply an assault if we can get closer allies to help liberate Aushak. He thinks keeping Merdosh and the crown in the same place is dangerous and suggests we take the crown--keeping it on the move--while Merdosh remains behind.
ReplyDeleteAdeja is conflicted in the choices. The Githzerai have a stong aversion to slavery, due to her species enslavement to the Mind Flayers. So, she wants to free the village. However, she also knows that knowledge, distraction, and misdirection often win the war. And so she would like to explore the other regions (Ulhar, Charir, Aussier, or Vuth) and find out how wide-spread is this Bahumati movement.
ReplyDeleteTwo pieces of information I'll point out that might influence your decisions. You learned along the way (I think from the gnome bandits, but I'm not sure) that the first Daron to arrive and re-start the auchak city were blue. Could mean they were from the Ulhar desert region. Also, the Charir were the oldest and strongest part of the old empire.
