There are quite a few of you, correct? Make a box. Put your gf and her father, the inn owner, in the center. Have the two guards who aren't exalts closer to them on the sides, but still ready for combat. Injured DB who has already used up some essence today goes in the back. You and the five other Exalted, who are clearly sidereals, form the front of the formation and the sides. Then you run like hell.

>>6692565
You form up. You have a sneaking suspicion that the group who had stopped you as you left from the inn were probably Exalted, just like the girl and her companions were. And you were now, you supposed. The thought would take some getting used to. You figure the best idea would be to make a box, with the most strength you could direct aimed forwards to punch through any foe you encounter on the way. With that in mind, you request that the strangers move to the front. You join them, thinking that you may be unsure of how to use any of your abilities, but are at least uninjured and probably better off than your normal guards. They flank Elia and her father, the only real noncombatants in the group. The injured Dragon Blood girl takes up the rear, in case something tries sneaking up on the group. Once everyone is positioned, you all start running.

>bumpan. I suppose that I might have posted this too early in the evening, when everyone was wrapped up in something. I suppose that if nobody wants to play now I'll just give it another go tomorrow. Which would throw out the other two posts here, but whatever.

Unconquered Sun.

>>6693476
>So the French revolution was actually a revolution against the gods? Okay, why not.
>That is one of the various King Louis', correct?

>>6693498

He also had a hercules-costume.

>>6693516
>fascinating, but of no help to my attempt a a Quest thread. You got a pic of that costume too? That should be lol worthy.

Hrum. I'm a bit tired, but what's the options here?

>>6693548

Not at hand. You could google the statues though. Unlike the costume, they're still around.

>>6693559
>Holy shit, I just realized I didn't give any suggestions. Thatmight be why nobody bothered to respnd. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-. Anyway, I want to know how you go through the city. Stealthily along back streets, running down main avenues as quick as you can or what have you. Fuck. I am an idiot.

>>6693640
Back alleys! avoid the goblins and barbarians. live longer. advicedog.jpg

>>6693740
negative, mad dash, speed over stealth, if you're found in the back alleys they can block off the exit route

>>6693740
You do your utmost to stick to the shadows and stick to streets that look to be deserted from the raiders, as evidenced by the lack of burning buildings. Afterall, no point getting to the caravan any quicker if you get there all that much more dead.

Sadly, your efforts failed not even a hundred feet from the snowy field the convoy is situated. You are appoaching on a street paralell to it, and are unaware of its condition, or even survival, due to the buildings blocking your way. However, at the break in the buildings that was going to provide you access to the open field you see a group of barbarians approaching. They are coming from the opposite direction, but might reach the opening, and thus whatever is left of your caravan, before you. Unless of course, you can manage to kill the bastards.

What do you do?

>>6693822
Damn can't catch a break, send guards, waifu, waifu dad, and I guess the wounded DB hoe (why haven't they tried to kill you yet, are they rogue DB?) to the caravan, take db dad, and son, throw knives kill barbarians with ranged attacks, knock over buildings or at least put something disposable in the path of wyld barbs

>>6693855
Don't just throw knives...fucking backflip triple gainer 3 knife throws man, flipping off Iron's head bro

>>6693855
>not all DB are born in the Realm. I have backstory for her and her brother. But that will only really be an option after you become a full sidereal anyway. Which might take a long time, given how slow /tg/ can be. A few weeks or something. Or maybe shit will get done. Who knows?

>>6693855
You realize that you can't risk them attacking your whole group and killing Elia and her father. With a roar of anger, you charge as fast as you can at them, fishing out throwing knives as you go. But then something happens to render all that moot. The five warriors who were with you charge forward with you, but unlike you they seem well equipped to deal with this threat. Blades flash out in complicated patterns, fists strike, and energies flash out. You barely have even thrown a single blade before the entire group lies dead before you. The warriors who did such a feat are glowing slightly with an aura that matches their faintly glowing eyes. Your suspicions are confirmed, these are indeed Exalted. Powerful ones too it would seem.

Do you stop to interrogate them about this development, or press on to the caravan?

>>6693997
Umm, thanks guys, we're going uh...south ya, and you're more than welcome to come along, in fact I would love if you would ride south, I won't even charge for seats and you KNOW I love to make money. But we're leaving...NOW!

>>6694023
You round the corner, showing that despite everything, the caravan has survived relatively intact. It might have something to do with the Solar and terrestrial exalt standing between it and the small crowd of hobgoblins and barbarians. Luckily, they kill the last of them as you approach. You turn to make an offer to let the strange warriors come with you along to the south, and to thank the three strangers who had saved your life and protected you assets. What you find is the red glowing woman standing directly behind you.

"We've helped you protect the lives of these people like you askedm but we need you to come with us now. There are certain duties you must see to now as a Chosen of Destiny. Duties that help ensure things far more important then mere profit. Will you come with us?"

>>6694105
"Theres only one thing in this world more important to me than my caravans and profit, thats my waifu over there," "Hi Honey, get in the caravan!" Wave at her, "Now, If you can make me a deal, I'll consider it, such a deal must ensure the safety of Elia, her father, and a good some of wealth and a retirement plan. We can talk on the road."

>>6694189
She looks frustrated. "Look, I know that you don't want to do this, but we don't have a choice in the matter. There aren't many of us, and the whole of reality rests on our shoulders. We need you. I don't know how much it will help, but I can guarantee you that everyone who is in this convoy will make it to the next town alive. And I will personally see to it that any good fortune that we can direct their way is done so. But we need to go, now! And the girl...well I promise you'll see her again, probably as soon as the training is over. When tracking you down, her destiny was almost as fated as yours, and was bound to it very tightly. This isn't the end. Now please, we must hurry. The longer we tarry, the more likely the stronger fae can find us. And then all promises we've made up to now become moot."

>>6694296
Cast angry eyes at red sidereal chick, cast floating love kisses at Elia, "OK!". "I'll go with you, and what about my retirement plan!"

>>6694337
She grins widely at this. "Oh, don't you worry about money. That is one thing I promise will never be an issue again when working for the Bureau of Destiny. Now, look, say your thanks and goodbyes quickly. We need to move."

Any last words of love to the waifu, before you're gone for about five years? Words of thanks to the three Exalted who've saved your life and your stuff multiple times tonight?

>>6694296
Oh. We have to man up and grudgingly agree. But only if Elia will be okay.

>>6694368
Ermm...i need 90 seconds and a private room, to "talk" things over with the waifu, maybe 80 seconds, "I'm going to be gone 5 years you can give me that right? Or conjugal visits would be nice."

Talk to the trio, "Thanks Iron, I don't really know whats going on, but keep her and her father safe, take care of your girl there, and I will repay you. But don't you forget you still owe me for that drink!"

>>6694496
Sorry man, no time for talking. You've got thirty seconds for everyone. Starting with the trio it seems.

The man nods his head. "I'll keep her in one piece for you. Its the least I can do after you made sure my sister made it back in one piece. And don't worry, I'll pay you back for that later. In fact, I'll do you one better. We can actually get served too!"

>last words to Elia before departure?

>>6694536
"I wuv you, and don't you forget it, now those glowing people want me to go with them for 5 years, we've been waiting for this day for 7 years. It will hurt like our souls have been set on fire, everyday, but you need to carry on, be strong. Iron here will protect you, cuz he's a bro. Live!" Cue romantic sweep her back over your arm and nearly suffocate her with a kiss, with a full orchestra playing in the background and the sidereals animas providing a delicate backlight. Then toss her onto the caravan driver seat give her a wink and run off the the 5 crazy ninja glowing people.

>>6694632
Yes. You do that.
"You'd better comeout of this alive, Telan! I'm not going to wait five years to only find out you died in training or some crap like that!"

The group of sidereals lead you to what appears to be a nondescript bit of open snow. The one who glows the same gold that you do does...something...and suddenly six horses appear dirctly in front of you. What is this sorcery?
Reaction?

>>6694769
"WHAT IS THIS FAGGOTRY"...err "SORCERY!"
"meh...I exploded into gold, got a letter telling me I had to work in some department store in heaven or something, fairfolk invaded a town on my trade route, a group of 5 robot ninja glowing dudes raped them all, a guy owes me a drink, that guy his son and very hot daughter are rogue terrestrial exalted, and I'm a servant of the maiden of journeys against my will, now I have to spend 5 years training away from the first good pussy I would have ever gotten...day can't get much worse, lets go."

>>6694811
>oh no, it could have beem far worse. I had ideas...

Deciding that this is just one more miracle in a series of them, you mount the horse without comment. The group makes its way out of town, heading south, but further inland. You can see in the distance the shapes of the caravan as they move out, following the road along the coast to the next city to the south.
The group travels for a few hours, and the temperature begins truly wearing at your resistance, even through the heavy travelling clothes you wear. You don't even want to imagine being the horse. Eventually however, yo reach what appears to be just another bit of rock face in the stony hills the path had led you into. The rest of the group entersa small cave entrance. Following them in, you come accross what seems like a wooden gateway built flush with the back wall. There is a sort of shimmering radiance within it, looking almost liquid. The five stare at you expectantly, gesturing towards the glowing mess. They clearly expect you to go first, in case you had any second thoughts about coming along.
What do you do?

>>6694994
"Look, if theres anything I learned at the school of common sense, its "DON'T GO IN THE PORTAL FIRST" one of you can go then I'll follow. Umm if you could excuse me for a minute I have to relieve myself I haven't had a chance to go since I woke up and that was a long ride." Don't worry I'm not going to run off, I'm just civilized and about to explode in my pants.

>>6695071
The woman who has been addressing you this whole time appears to be suppressing a grin. "Fine. All of us ladies will go first, to gove you some privacy and prove it isn't dangerous."

With that, she and the blue clothed woman enter the portal. After you finish relieving yourself outside the cave entrance, the remaining trio once again motion towards the gateway. The yellow one speaks "Don't worry, it looks much more frightening than it really is. Its just a portal."
Your actions?

>>6695216
>give*

>>6695216
Poke the portal, withdraw finger? is finger all there if yes, proceed in, if no, SCREAM AHHHHHHH OH GODDDDDSSSSS MY FINGERRRRRRR!!!!!! WHHHHYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!

>>6695238
Yes, all your finger remains. The portal feels warm on the other side, like a summer day. Passing your skin through it actually tickles a bit. Actions?

>>6695238
"If yes, proceed in, clutch testicles for radiation protection, if the ladies ask, you're just protecting your future children.

>>6695307
As you progress through the portal, clutching your balls in the hopes of protecting them against possible attack, you come out into what appears to be a small park, in a city. Directly in front of you are the women folk who had passed through a moment ago. And behind them is a structure that look like the gladiatoral colliseums you'd seen built in lands to the south. Cylindrical, broad, lots of columns. The problem here is that the building appears to be hundreds of feet tall and topped with a dome of jade.
The woman, who you've begun mentally calling Red, spreads her hands out to encompass the sight. "Welcome to the city of Yu-Shan, home of the gods. Behind me you see the Lotus Dome, housing the Loom of Fate, whereon all our myriad destinies are written and recorded by the Pattern Spiders built by the Primordial Autocthon himself!" She seems to be attempting to ham it up for the new kid on the block, but the notices your hands. "Why are you grabbin your crotch?"

Time to save face /tg/! What do you do?

>Sidereal that wasn't raised from childhood in Yu Shan

Is... is that even possible?

>>6695519
> then* grabbing**. Sorry. Typos.

>>6695530
>Yeah. They've been more hard pressed to find them lately with more and more essence use in Creation. Sometimes you even get some they don't find for ages after their Exaltation, if the previous holder of that one was killed by something the Loom of fate doesn't see, like Demons or Fey.

>>6695530
Sidereals can't predict every single exaltation, they're really behind in their work and suddenly, LOL YOU JUST EXALTED go be a ronin until some sidereal deathsquad hunts you down


ALSO

>>6695519
"Well, thats a long story, short story is last time I walked blindly through a portal some girl who thought I groped her while I was drunk when I actually tripped and barely caught myself with her help, and she kicked me in coinbag." Remove hand quickly begin to feign knowledge of heaven, best to make a good impression right, or at least get Red on our side gonna need friend(s) in heaven.
"So, Red, do you have a name or shall I continue to refer to you as the color of passion and determination?"

>>6695648
>>6695530
Sids have a shitty time predicting their own Exaltations, since the Sidereal Exaltation ITSELF is a work of fatecraftian. It'd be like trying to craft a daiklaive that wields smaller daiklaives

>>6695648
She grins broadly. "Well you can start calling me Sifu. There is a reason it was the circle I'm in charge of that was sent to get you. I was assigned to be your teacher in all the myriad ways of the Chosen of Destiny. Etiquette, history, and most importantly our martial arts. I get to beat you until you learn enough to copy me! Won't that be exciting?"
She seems inordinately pleased at this prospect. The green man rests his hand on your shoulder in sympathy "I'm sorry for you. She doesn't know the meaning of enough when it comes to training."

>>6695721
SMILE BECAUSE YOUR GONNA GET THE SHIT BEAT OUT OF YOU FOR THE NEXT 5 YEARS SON AND DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT BANGING THE TEACHER

>>6695766
this, and ask "Sifu, where will we...by we I mean I be staying?"

>>6695766
>DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT BANGING THE TEACHER
TOO LATE

>>6695784
"Well, you'll be able to get an apartment. It isn't like we don't pay you." She fishes around in the pocket of her combat belt for a moment, extracting three vials of some sort of glowing white liquid. "This here in quintessence, a sort of hyper magical liquid. It is one of the two currencies you get paid in. Well, at your pay grade it is the only one. This is your first month's pay check. An eighth of one of the vials here ought to get you a fairly clean five room apartment in the crap section of town."

>>6695922
*looks around, theres a crap section? I guess yall have different standards up here. Shall we get a bite to eat and discuss what the hell I'm supposed to do for the next 5 years, I have to admit I'm kind of curious, also you said paygrade so I presume I have a job lined up? What is it, I hope its not paper work, oh and how do you do that thing where you glow that would make a pretty nifty nightlight."

>> I hope its not paper work.
>prepare for disappointment.

>>6695956
She grins. "Well, it isn't like there's nothing beyond paperwork. But until I decide you're done with training, I don't give you my stamp of approval for fieldwork. I don't want my first apprentice to die on me! But yes, lets get to that food. You'll need to eat so you have energy for our first sparring session later tonight."
And so began your apprenticeship under your Sifu. Now we get to answer questions dealing with what faction you identify with and what convention you want to be posted in at the end of your training!

>>6696045
Silver faction, furries are awesome

>>6696053
no u, give us our options bronze, gold, whatever the fuck other color factions there are or are not or might be or may be, god damn sidereals

>>6696053
Sorry, they're going to fall under independant at the moment. So:
Gold: You fucking love the Solars, and think the Sidereals should have given them a chance before the usurpation.
Bronze: The Solars had it coming. neither of the above two seem to be able to get past their fixation on the Solars.
Independant: More varied. Some think that the sidereals ought to get past the usurpation and just do their jobs. Some think that there are bigger threats out there than the return of 300 demigods with hero complexes. And about 5, of the 100 sidereals alive, think the Lunars should rule the world. What do you side with?

>>6696144
"So red, whos faction are you in bed with, by in bed i mean, in with, as in, who's faction are you in with?" Also what is the diner we are eating at, I would like to compliment the chef god of this restraunt on the fine triple stacked yak burgers he makes.

>>6696102
>>6696144
"Truth be told I'm kind of leaning towards the bronze faction, from what I'm presuming I know they did kind of go insane towards the end though I think you guys could have dealt with the problem with a little diplomacy instead of murdering them outright."

Still catching up on the other thread, but I must know: what exactly is the picture in the OP's demotivator from? And if it's actually from something in particular, where can I find more of it?

>>6696231
The god, a miasma of fire and steam in the shape of a man, wearing a poofy hat, nods in acknowledgment.
Red sighs. "Look, I'm not trying to force my opinions on you. A lot of sifus, my own included do that. They see it as a powerstruggle, which it is. I never enjoyed how much he preached his opinions to me. I'm not telling you until you decide what side to explore at least. It isn't binding, but it helps to know who can aid your career, you know? You're my first student, I'm trying not to make some of the mistakes my own master did." She looks somewhat pensive, apparently remembring some unpleasant memories.

>>6696273
>just google Exalted demotivators. A wiki out there has a bunch.

>>6696337
"If he touched you, in your special spots, you can tell me..."
"But honestly, I'm going to go look up these bronze faction guys, though I'm not sure I'm all the way on board, I think the solars need a second chance, after all they were the ones who beat down the primordials, and they did pretty well until their curse finally got a hold of them. I am curious if there is a middle path between the bronze and gold factions."

>>6696273
I have asked myself if theres anything else to this picture, and all I've come up with is that it's a warform tyrantlizard fullmoon lunar with sideral music ninjas and alot of babes wielding solar cannons somehow.

>>6696404
> Yeah, its called the independants. "Dude, that was millenia ago! Get over. The solars are in a totally different position now than they were then, we should just wait and see. And is everyone forgetting about all those Deathlords out there? Jeeze, I feel like I'm the only one doing my job."

>>6696458

Independants sounds like the way to go for now, I have no strong feeling one way or another, really.

So, what should I expect for the next five years? Any chance we can just montage the whole thing?
Heh.

>>6696458
Totally in with the independents, besides we get to go to catgirl orgies in the woods because lunars are our friends

go Independant

>>6696514

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mu9xx5Ri278
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPFCHuEegsk

>>6696514
Yeah, that's the plan. I intended to just get factional leanings, and where you want to be stationed once the training is done. Then I'm going to whip up a character sheet and some writefaggotry and be ready to continue on sunday.

>>6696571
can we learn where red/sifu lives?
keeping in mind Elia is down there on earth still, no harm in just being friends though, like earlier >>6695766
Not considering banging the teacher, though considering wanting to bang the teacher is perfectly ok, every student does it

Okay, so we've decided to be independants. Now, where to be stationed?
Convention of Air: Is based in the northlands where you'd traded your whole life. You know the area, but there isn't a very strond independant presence there. The odds of Elia still being there are slim. She's probably with Iron and his group, somewhere further south. It is divided by factional conflicts, as both the Immaculate Order (official church of the realm, toys of Bronze) and Gold faction stronholds exist up there.

>>6696760
Convention of Wood: Set in the East of Creation. Had been a dumping ground for Gold Faction Members when there weren't any solars around. Now it covers for a lot of Solar activity in its domain. Not really any point to being an independant there.

>>6696760
Interesting, we are familiar with the area, which could be helpful, but are there other options?

>>6696760
How about the river country? It has Lookshy, so there'll always be shit going down.

Although if we go to the South, we can visit Gem.

Convention of Fire: way off to the south. It is the heart of the independant movement, and where your faction's leader is based. It is also a hotbed of intrigue between the Gold and Bronze factions, both having key bases in the are. It is also where the handful of Silver faction members are, in contact with the the Lunar chieftan Tammuz.

>>6696881
we're going there

>>6696801

If those are the only options, I propose we attempt to be stationed in Air. We are more familiar with the area and seems to be the area with a lot of the big players in this game we have been forced into.

>>6696904
Here.
Damnit. I dilly dallied for too long, missed the fire post.
I change my vote to that. Sorry for being late!

>>6696922

*sigh.
That, being the Fire Posting, of course.

>>6696881
mmmm, Convention of Fire definitely
besides we can get a nice summer home there for Elia and the kids once we're done with this training business. besides we've already got the north capitalized, hire Elia's dad to run the caravan in your stead, expand in the south.

>>6696881
here

>>6696939
Uh, settle down? Hardly. Traveling and trading is something we've done all our life. The home we fashion for Elia will be an eternal road, where each day brings new sights, new experiences, new possibilities.

Convention of Water: In the west. All sorts of high seas adventure. Headed by a member of the Bronze faction, but ignored by both given the lack of strongholds for either group, it is exceedingly understaffed. And given that the largest cult devoted to the Yozi's in existence, plus two seperate deathlords, are to be found in this area, help is needed. There is also a chance you might catch up to Elia and Iron's group here, since you suspect that he hails from one of the island nations in the area.

Convention of Earth: You don't want it. Seriously. Its on the Blessed Isle, lots of Bronze faction folks around. Not good for anyone of another group.

>>6696991
wait maybe do this instead of the fire one

I must have missed, what type of Sidereal are we? I would assume Mercury based on our character's lifestyle.

>>6696991
>devoted to the Yozi's in existence
What object, state, or concept belonging or relating to the Yozis in existence are they devoted to? You missed some words in your sentence.

>>6696984
hmmm then lets raise luth, strong hold for the silver faction/indepents and a floating traveling flying city, I'm sure leviathan won't mind besides it could come in handy when making some arrangments with bronze and gold factions, let them on board help them take out deathlords ya know, and its mobile, and would make a new trading hub for the west. what could be better?

>>6697034
The Fire one has Gem, though, the most combustible city in all of Creation.

Although out of curiosity, OP, which Convention covers the area that Lookshy and Thorns are in?

>>6697057
o u

>>6696991
Putting my vote in for this. Nothing like a tenuous situation for us to prove ourselves. The fact that Elia's in the middle of such a situation has of course nothing to do with it. Nothing at all.

>>6697057
Sorry. I'm typing between bits of a game I'm doing over OpenRPG. That is why this whole thread is of lower quality than I would have liked. I'm rushed. They are the biggest cult devoted to a bunch of demon princes pretty much. The imprisoned and bitter creator's of the universe. Again, sorry for the poor quality tonight. I promise it will be better the next time I do this.

>>6697080
Wood is Lookshy. I don't know about Thorns. I'm inclined to say the same, but am not too sure. Lemme go check the core book.

>>6697161
Can't find Thorns. I'm going to go with it being under Wood though. So I'm counting 3 votes Fire, 2 Water. Looks like it'll be fire.

>>6697303

In that case, how many sessions will it take us to destroy Gem!

>>6697321
Fuck, that should be a question mark at the end. I must be more tired than I thought.

>>6696991
>>6697303
I say water, screw fire, nothing beats a floating city trade hub/ beach house, besides we can offer positions there and its the easiest place to start killing death lords and only place to make friends with leviathan

>>6697321
You'll get ganked by local Exalts, or taken back to Yu Shen for a criminal audit by your superiors.

>>6697347

Oh, we wouldn't be intentionally trying to destroy it.

It's more that it's literally impossible to do anything major in Creation without Gem somehow being destroyed as a result.

Hell, there's probably a God whose specific portfolio is the Destruction and Rebuilding of Gem at this point.

>>6697344
Fire puts us closer to Autocthon and Alchemical Exalted, though.

Three Water, Three Fire. I'm good with both myself, but water would be easier to have a reunion with everyone make sense as a writer.

>>6697303
I originally voted for fire but switched it to water are you taking this into account!?

>>6697344
and iron and elia are there, hell maybe elia can move in with us if we have some digs on earth down there in the convention of water

>>6697393
Yes, I subtracted you from the fire total and added to water.

>>6697385
we're in heaven, we already have to deal with those creepy pattern spiders why would you want to deal with more of those crazy man machines

>>6697414
Start with Fire, we can head to Water after we get blamed for the inevitable fate of Gem.

Everyone keeps on forgetting Arcane Fate. Are you sure Elia will be able to remember you?

>>6697425

Because some of them are woman-machines instead, and who wouldn't want to fuck the Major from GitS? Or Samus?

>>6697448
I would have thought her capable of remembering the mortal we once were.

>>6697449
Actually, the Major is pretty awesome...If we do fire, that is now one of the characters. I'll make her make sense.

>>6697448

So we go to Fire and get something crafted in Autocthon that we can implant into her brain that will make her functionally immune to Arcane Fate. If her memories of us start to go, the device will upload a fresh copy of them.

>>6697473

Well, you heard the man. Fire it is.

>>6697448
oh...ffffff, we need to bone her everyday once we get a home down in the west, or at least do the 50 first dates thing ya know?

>>6697463
That doesn't mean I didn't think of a way around that. I have a great plot development for when she gets reintroduced. I'm just surprised nobody remembered the feature. That and Resplendant Destinies make sidereals pretty much the Anons of Reality.

Our sifu mentioned that our destiny was tied with Elia's. Consider that we were a merchant before we become a Chosen of Journeys. Whether it's the market or cosmic fate, we know there's no use avoiding the universe's schemes. So, you might as well face it head on.

Let's go for the Water posting.

Also, everybody needs to remember that the further away from other Sidereals we stay the less fucked our decision-making gets.

>>6697517

If our destiny is really tied to hers in samsara, then it doesn't matter where we choose to go. We'll run into her again at some point regardless.

So we may as well do Fire. When we finish there, if we haven't met Elia again yet, we can head for Water.

>>6697517
right on, We will constantly be sailing anyways, maiden of journey's can't complain about that amirite? and Red wouldn't mind going for a boat ride either, nothing like insane glowing ninja combat training on the high seas in a F5 hurricane, with deathlords attacking

>>6697521
So is that a vote for Water?

>>6697541
also Red/sifu still hasn't given us her real name yet that should be something we investimagte

>>6697546

No, more a vote for "wherever we go, remember that having other Sidereals around will lead to poor decisions".

Personally, I'm for Fire. We can hit Water later. After we commission some crazy shit for our later use in the smithies of the South.

8 fire, 5 water. It looks like fire wins. There will be more swashbuckling later on I suppose, but first come forges and steanpunk robots.

Well great people. Enjoy the love of your life not recognizing you the next time you see her.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I bid you goodnight. I apologise once again for the drastically lower quality of this thread, but I promise it will be better next time. Tune in Sunday evening for Exalted Quest Part 3: The Training Montage and Deployment to Your First Field Assignment. Now featuring A CHARACTER SHEET! Whoo!!

>>6697815
hey op what time quick b4 you go also archive plz

>>6697785
We're a Sidereal. That was going to happen no matter what we did.

>>6697864
Archived it a minute ago. It'll be in the evening. Probably around 8 or so. But I might get bored and do it early. The main problem is making an acceptably bit of writefaggotry to serve as a lead in. Actually, I do have a final question before I head out. In everyone's opinion, priority of Attributes being Mental, Physical, Social is acceptable?

>>6697903
Social, we have to talk those bronze and gold fuckers into joining the real faction, indendents and silver, woohoo for social combat

>>6697883
I did say I had a way around it. It'll be interesting too. There'll be a kidnapping and an epic chase through the wilderness. If I do it well, it shoul be a lot of fun. That will be for Exalted Quest 4 or 5 however. Three is going to be all about your new office mates in the Convention and getting a feel of the area before heading out on missions.

>>6697919
So then Mental, Social, Physical? I'm accepting a variety of options. The only one I forbid is mental being last, since you don't get to where he was as a trader without a head for business.

>>6697919
As independent Sidereals who are probably going to be having interesting dealings with Autocthon and the Alchemicals, I say that we start our own faction in the desert: the brotherhood of Steel.

>>6697964
Social, Mental, Physical. Trading probably required that ordering. Figure that we've got pretty good Resolve or whatever the Mental equivalent of Stamina is, given the way we took our life getting utterly Bel-Aired.

>>6697964
Social,mental,physical, brute strength is a terrible way to solve problems, it saves you money by not having to buy ridicoulsly over the top gear to get stuff done with copious amounts of violence

>>6698135
Focus on Stamina for our physical stats. We may be only of average Strength or Dexterity, but a Chosen of the Mistress of Journeys had damn well better be up to long-distance travel.

>>6698131
>>6698135
Alright that'll do fine. Agility and essence are more important to sidereal martial arts anyway than pure strking power. Same for thrown stuff. So you'll not be helpless, and still a shrewd bargainer! Anyone know where a fillable online character sheet might be found for this? I don't want to have to type everything up as a word doc and then copy it onto here.

>>6698164
No early death for our hero!

>>6698181
RarJpeg for you. Just name it <something>.rar and unrar it.

>>6698554
Explain. I have a pdf of the sidereal character sheet, but it won't let me write on it. If I save it as a rar file, and then unzip it, it'll magically let me?

>>6698626
I think what he did was he put the rar into the jpg he posted here. Rename that file to "whatever".rar and then unzip it.

>>6698672
Exactly
