BigBossBalrog Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 However, she still has a company on hand, her Grey Wolves (which are technically Eyes, but we're trained by Lorgar to be anti-assassins and hunters) The regulars don't like them much.

BTC Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Oh, the way it came up I thought that was a recent development, and that even the ones Lorgar trained were no longer her guards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are, but since they've been trained up by Lorgar a traitor and come from different parts we're the regulars aren't from, there's a little rivalry between them.

Celan Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 It makes me wonder what function the PO now serves, since its creation was all about guarding the emperor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celan Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 How can they serve the empress/emperor in that capacity if they're not trusted? Bad intelligence can kill you pretty quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dales doesn't trust them guarding her, that dosen't mean she dosen't have faith in their ability to be spies and special police. They kinda get a bad rep as bodyguards, but in the books, game, and RP, they do one hell of a job in there other role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blades were even worse than the PO. And both Dales and Krojun would be dead twice over under the Gray Wolves’ protection if they weren’t competent enough to survive assassination attempts on their own. Mede or Motierre would be dead in their shoes. Same goes for Baldur, though I’d give the Grim Ones a bit more of a pass since it was a story point that he was not using them for protection as effectively as he knew he should’ve been, making it more his fault than theirs. There haven’t been any attempts on his or Rebec’s life since he rectified that. 2 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBossBalrog Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I kinda took inspiration from Halo 2, remember when the Elites fail at protecting Regret, so Truth makes political power move and replaces the Honor Guards with Brute ones? And remember how Dales has always been associated with her white clad guards? It was her way of rewarding them for always being there for her, and as a show of favor.

The Good Doctor Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 @ColonelKillaBee Just started reading the Hammerfell post, but the very beginning made me laugh. The Alik'r Desert. What a shithole. Deleted. Was a Trump picture. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Good Doctor Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 @ColonelKillaBee A cliffhanger?? Why you gotta do us that way? Oh well. I bet if we share this post on Facebook, Unrivaled will smell blood and come back to us. Jokes aside, though. Loved seeing some more of Hammerfell. The desert monsters, the architecture, the unique gods, all that was on point. And this post was a great introduction to Jadaka and Madura. I really enjoyed their chemistry. Hopefully you ain’t jerking us around here and Jadaka isn’t just gonna die by Sain’s hands. By the way, what is it with you and flute-playing Redguards? Lol. Honestly I’m just jealous because Boldir has officially been dethroned as the king of using a woodwind to move giant creatures. It’s such a niche market that I thought he could corner it. Last but not least, Velehk fucking Sain! The surprise came early for me in our PM, but it was still a joy to read him IC. No way he dies in the next post. Not after all the set-up with him spying on the alliance and shit. You’re plotting something big and I’m excited to see what that is. Dude is scary. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelKillaBee Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 The Ra Gada Ravager himself I honestly forgot about Jodun lol, but I never got to show what the flute actually was for Maybe since he's busy in other lands, I can finally show it off a little, lol.

ColonelKillaBee Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I wasn't thinking of it at the time but I might've been influenced by Supernatural a bit. There were several times where they introduced a character and they ended up being something completely different from what you expected. God was some nerd cult classic author that was writing the gospel of Sam and Dean, the main characters lol, we just thought he was a prophet of the Lord, not the Lord himself. Gabriel was first a "trickster", then Loki, then we found out he was the Gabriel himself, messenger of God in hiding.
