RumpleForeskin Here (nick change ...again)
Ok, here's what I figure
Al'Dareyth, capital city and main port of the countrey Dareythia.
Current "residents" Mirya, HAL2k and Khaine. Probably little or no chance of making it back to S'mon Trask for the upcoming battle, unless Mirya manages to "liberate" a flying carpet from somewhere
S'mon Trask
Current "residents" - Wolfram, Isis, Freyja are known to be in the city (though Wolfram is obviously seperated from Isis and Freyja at the moment)
Sir Damon Vanderwal the paladin, Qu'ean Quicksilver, Helmut von Swartzentodder, Tzchee-inki and her Ash-en entourage are probably back in the city. Most likely (going from Jings description of the city) the Ash-en be hanging out on the west bank with all the other non-humans due to the Ash-en not looking very humanoid.
What happened to Rufus, Chun-Li, Du-de-es-ta and the red dragon I don't know (due to lack of posts). The RD could still be unconsious outside the city (Wolfram punched him pretty hard
), or could have been turned into steak.
Dragon Burger anyone?
Asteph'theroc is on his way to meet Wolfram and will probably arrive just in time to help/shout some advice to Wolfram that will enable him to turn the tables on the Shadowfiend (probably won't fight it directly, I'm thinking of having some sort of non-aggression pact between Asteph'therocs race and the Shadowfiends ...sort of like the Cho-ja and Tsuranni from Raymond Feists Empire series, i.e. I can't twat them till they attack me first and break the pact).
Obviously our characters are unaware of the big build up happening, they'll probably notice when the diversionary force "decloaks". Whilst this fighting is going on maybe one of the characters will notice strange sound coming from under the floor in an old building/inn/whorehouse somewhere and investigate?
What do people want there characters do be doing in this upcoming battle?
Repelling invaders from the city walls?
Protecting city elders from assassins (maybe some "swashbuckling" style of fighting ... swinging from chandeliers, witty repartee etc?)
Making outward sorties to take the fight to the enemy?
Tunnel fighting in the sewers with dark elves?
How we going to fight (and win) a war fought on two fronts?
I had an idea about flooding the sewers with some type of flammable oil, but then I thought residents of S'mon Trask would probably be a bit arsed of with us if we torched their city.....then again .... anyone bring any marshmellows?
