Ah, I suppose that does make sense.[X] Goldfish
@Raichu1972, it's a series of reasons, but most of them are connected.
1. I see the entire plane as our future kingdom, and I've always felt obligated to protect what's ours. That's why I get so hostile against anything that even remotely threatens the party or our kingdom. In this instance the world at large is the direct beneficiary of unadulterated greed.
2. I just like a lot of the people in the world and I don't want them to die because we failed to stop an apocalypse. This one could be seen as altruism, but it's really more possessiveness than anything else. For example, I'd be furious if anything happened to Rock Shaker or the other Xorn because I happen to like them, but I'd have a far less angry reaction if for example someone were to attack the Orphne Court or something.
3. I absolutely despise the idea of being forced to retreat from our home plane. Don't get me wrong, I'd do it if necessary, but I'd be seething for weeks and plotting vengeance every step of the way.
4. And this one's more pragmatic than anything else, and it doesn't have to do with obligations or anything, but apocalypses on our home plane are a direct threat to us and everyone we care about. The upcoming Long Night is an existential threat. It's in our best interest to fight that as long and hard as we can just to make sure we survive.
Well it is a Shadow Tower and a arrangement could be made. My main concern is on a personal level we are very powerful but as for the army we command as a King not very overwhelming and I like to stack the deck. Again Minotaurs are awesome but limited supply and breeding rate for what we want.
Yeah, I'll admit I'm pretty worried about going to them again. I don't know how Renly's negotiations with them will end up. They might try to back us into a corner and spike the price for whatever aid Renly would need. And there's also the thing with them controlling the head of the Silver Eye. If we're unlucky and they get too ambitious we could be staring right at a coup in the making.
We could bargain for the tokens of lots of lesser fey. Moonsong, for example, started as nothing but a simple sprite with a few bard spells. Look at her now. She's the captain of her own ship, she's got an item of size change so now she's medium instead of tiny, she lives and breathes pure adventure, and she's a freaking CL 8 Bard.
The plane is full of stuff we want to loot, losing It would be like a dragon watching someone destroy gold. Sure, It could do so if necessary, but It would not enjoy It and It goes against its very nature.[X] Goldfish
Works for me, short enough to not sound like a monologue, but still flowery enough to sound like it came out of Visery's mouth
Now that you mention it @Duesal , why do you care about saving the world?
It's obviously not for moral reasons, and we could really just planeshift and let it all die if we wanted to, so what drives you to want to save, well, anyone?
Is it making our companions happy? Is it because you feel you have to, because this is the setting? Is it because we haven't looted everything yet?
I'm honestly curious.
I'm starting to think it might not be a bad idea to get more human warriors.
I still find it weird that we invited that Shadow Trader to us and she never showed up
I was suspicious that we wanted to stir shit with the Orphne Court on her behalf or something. I was pretty relieved she never showed up, to be honest. Everything about her screamed "shouldn't trust me".
I like how you think a kingdom of monsters is something I look forward too I want this badly we do have a lot of elites but not nearly enough for our future kingdom I would say.
My idea was to outfet our human soldiers with a mixture of Diamond Mind, Stone Dragon, and Iron Heart. Along with this Beware the Oncoming Storm [Discipline] and for Path of War Iron Tortoise – d20PFSRD. As for were to get these Molten Skies as a trading hub should have some instructors we could convince to teach thier Art of the Blade. Any kind of unit type we want in our Legion there is most likely some kind of Martial Discipline official or homebrew we can fiddle with and give to our soldiers for a boost.
Also @Wheel of time, I'm not sure if you were aware, but the low population for Minotaurs won't be a problem for long.
It was good, and it was pretty much what I wanted to write, but then I came to the realization that the more we give the Child of the Forest room to talk the more lore DP can sneak into the update and the more questions we can cross off the List.
Hmm.
I'm not sure how much the Seven abhor magic, personally I suspect that before the silence, it used to just be a warning to be wary of magic not from them, and then during the silence where there was little magic, and the gods had only minimal ability to contact their followers, the warning was twisted until it became an ultimatum.
Still got to raise them and as a Sorcerer Overlord a proper army of unstoppable Doom is just part of the job but good start. I do mean it for looking for Orcs, Gnolls, Hobgoblins and any other natural warrior race we can civilize to our side. But that is good news. I'm the kinds guy that desires only fire and blood for my enemies and wholesale absolute slaughter. Crushing victory is my goal and the Minotaurs are only the beginning of that. Though it's a bit bark and no bite when I can't think of what else to do other then shouting Martial Disciplines, Tome of Battle and Path of War sky high to the ceiling ad nauseum
I still am
Oh I know this but the thing about Martial Disciplines and Ki in general is all it takes is training. I am not hoping for a army of Martial Adapts but instead we get the Martial Adapt version of a npc class which is still a cut above the rest.Hmm.
I know what you're trying to do, but I'm pretty sure that the majority of our army is going to be npc classes, no matter what we do.
We will definitely be able to boost up the elites, those who proved themselves to be a cut above and gained a PC class, but the best way to improve our army as of now is through getting them better (and magical) equipment, and by getting more commanders with magic that can influence an entire army's worth of people.
It would also help if we had an actual official army, instead of just a bunch of raiders and pirates
Not sure, but I do remember something about them growing much faster than human children. And something about the minotaur pregnancies being both shorter and easier than human pregnancies.
@Crake, we have the crown. We took it from the vaults of the Iron Bank before we set off to conquer the Stepstones and slay Damphair.
