Holy crap, the imagine of the Asur slaves is... stark to say the least.

With the necessary acknowledgement of the brutality of that situation, this is a good thing for us in my eyes. Other players are making moves, offering and asking for support in public. It appears that the ark is even more fractured than we thought. If the Brides of Khaine are making such desperate pleas about Khaine being the god of the Druchii that opens up opportunity. The forces from the other ark are the only force outside of the coven that Screamtaker will trust to investigate such an important factor like the food pyramid. Based off my reading of the situation everyone is prepared to make a move.
 
Each day of focusing purely on the pyramid would have granted an additional +5 Bonus.

If you'd spent every day doing it thus far, you would have gotten him.

But you wouldn't have gotten Johanna able to get inside either, so...yeah.
It's a decent tradeoff, yeah. I'd rank current Johanna above any three Druchii Sorceresses in a straight fight, not that she'd be liable to give them one in the first place.

Which is the genuinely biggest advantage, I think. Aw well. Hopefully second best outcome there will be enough for that to be the big difference maker, since chaos for everyone means that someone else can kill him too, thereby making things even worse
 
Eh, I was looking at the tired mother debuff and her mentioning that she doesn't have all the equipment she wanted.

Its like going into a boss fight in D&D with your wizard only rocking a few magic scrolls and some spell slots burned.
 
you never know him being a paranoid nut case may work in favour if he reacts poorly to the bombs going off
In all likelihood, we can still get a chance at nabbing him when the bombs go off, this only means its a chance and one which requires a really high roll, rather then a certainty regardless of the roll for the bombs. Which, I am more then satisfied with, if our rolls for bomb preparations, and similair rolls in the past, are anything to go by in regards to how big they tend to go, and praying that the goat sacrificed to the Dice gods are accepted and the rolls arent a low result like a 40 or 50.

[X] Seek out the Cult of Khaine: They will surely know where the prisoners are being kept. As this is a Druchii affair, they will definitely be fielding such probing questions from various other Druchii jockeying for an advantage. But Hultressa has an ace, if one that she will despise using, in the potential faux-offering of her daughter. If things go wrong, it might lead to even worse consequences for Gwendolyn, but it will also surely work and make the Cult focus entirely on Hultressa rather then potentially discerning that you are not a soulless husk and that Johanna is a vampire and not a...whatever it was that serves the Elven Goddess of Vengeance.

We have to risk it.

As said, think this is best best to get info and Hul can give a fake promise about Gwen, since we have no intention on following through on it.
 
This is the benefit of not sending in Gwendolyn

all in no point not doing it
 
Oh shit it's going down!
Thanks for the update

Everyone is desperate for allies, the Cult are the ones who are getting actively blue balled though.
Really hope it doesn't bite us in the ass

[X] Send Johanna Alone: You don't know her exact capabilities anymore after spending decades in the Far East. But they are powerful indeed, at the very least. Given the profile that Hultressa built for her, moving about surreptitiously seems part of the job description. It might be a bit more awkward if she is detected in the wrong place, at the very least, but it would also allow Hultressa to not appear too eager or be caught off guard by someone approaching out of the blue. You don't need to, necessarily, even get into the place where the prisoners are being held at the moment. You just need to know where it is. That is, after all, the first step.

Johnanna can handle it.

We need to find the prisoners quickly. Joanna is the perfect fit for this. This is it people the final stretch diceJesus don't fail us know!

Daaaamn that was heinous in the best of ways. Also the worst. It's a shame we're not in a position to destroy this Ark, but then again it's not like horrors like this aren't happening en masse across almost all Arks and even more so in the actual proper cities of the Drucchii too...

We may not be able to take the ark out physically, but try to keep in mind how doomed these people are once Malekith finds them.

Right now they are literally banking on a mixture of throwing all the blame on the dead and presenting prized captives to save themselves from being slowly tortured to death and then damned for being the greatest failures in Druchii history.

That's why the Auction is so important.
Alyssa is setting herself (and her personal faction) as the king-making power-broker.

If she has no (potentially) life-saving prizes to hand out, then she's worthless. In fact, being the one in charge it could be argued that the buck stops with her. Making associating with her literal poison.
