> Implying this was a "champion"
This is a city where every civilian is CR 8-10, you know. Most of our companions are barely level 14 and would risk death if they attacked a group of 8 cops, let alone someone obviously relatively rich and relatively important like this dude and who is therefore more dangerous than a baseline Efreet.

The City of Brass is dangerous.

Edit : Regardless of the power of the locals... [Commence speculation] DP made it pretty clear that this person's death would be noticed, and that subduing him non-lethally would be making an enemy of someone proud and more influential than mere foreigners. If a fight had broken out, Maelor was pretty fucked unless he somehow won without causing a ruckus and then altered this guy's memories.
However I have no idea what changes DP may have applied to the gear or fluff that I sent along with the stat block, so this is all speculation. It makes sense though, doesn't it?

I like this. Still risky, but having each squad in its own tunnel is a better decision that having one huge tunnel.
And those Bulettes are strong combatants in their own right, too

I was actually thinking of your point about making specialised burrowing troops but you're right they can actually make way for a Legion squad.

If a half dozen of these pop up in the ranks of the enemy I don't much like their chances for formation. cavalry shouldn't even try.

Seriously though, this isn't going to fix anything. The Old Gods are panicking because they can feel what's wrong with Heaven but can't see it. Slamming the door shut for them is not going to fix this.

Yeah, but it disconnects us from their panic attack. This is not the place I want us to be distracted in such a manner.
 
This feels like a moment of the plot moving the characters.

Viserys is a person that before biting on a tree stacked all his buffs and had a few Alter Fortune readied
Also buried the Sleepers on a ton of lead and dirt to hide them
Also made a Snare to summon Outsiders and plans to improve on the place where he made a deal with an Archduke and bent him over.

One moment of carelessness decided by QM fiat is a wrong move

I wouldn't be arguing had we got a vote when Viserys noticed the obvious wrongness of things
 
[X] Use all your power to try and finish what the Old Gods cannot
-[X] Take whatever help Lya, Danny, and Vee can give you

They have to know, even if it costs us.

If here Viserys can shoulder the burden of harm instead of others...

Well everyone and their mother has been giving him shit lately. Syrax, Lucan, even Yrael albeit indirectly.

Hmmmm.

A while ago he thought this.

Which left me rather concerned. I would think...

I still think Viserys is doing this to save people. At the heart of it really.

He's never flinched at putting himself in harm's way. Indeed usually he flinches at putting other people in harm's way.

It's... I have always felt his central motivation was simple and pretty straightforward? He wants to make the world a better place.

Which is just so... It's a driving motivation that you can find in every plane. I am sure the other would consider non existence to be a great improvement for a bunch of reasons.

We are also incredibly stubborn once we decide what the "right" course is.

OK, fair enough I can't really offer a ret-con at this point without asking @Azel too, but as a matter of intent would you guys like one?

I really don't like retcons, but I would have very much preferred to have the option to vote for Viserys to use the staff. I 100% guarantee you that we would have voted not to do it.

So long as cutting the connection with AMF, or through some other method, will be consequence free (assuming we can sort the OG out later), I'm fine with things as they stand.
 
Not really since I feel like this was an uninteded side effect of what we were doing, and it would feel like we were ret-coning just because it had unfortunate side effects..
 
I made my point.

If circumstances change during the carrying over of a vote we are usually afforded an opportunity to change course, specially when handling planar matters just as with godly matters.

This is a quest that updates regularly so stuff will be missed, but this isn't a quest that updates each two months and correcting a mistake would cost a lot of time.

I favor a slight recon to allow a vote.
