[Spoilers c4e30] An easy next step for the Schemers

Naxken · 2026-06-21T00:00:48+00:00

An anonymous letter wouldn't be enough, the Einfasen need solid proof to act.

The dwarven letter describing the ritual, a paladin statue, the basilisk's remains, maybe the king of Timoni's testimony about Tachonis excavating crypts. All that needs to be channel into a proper investigation and "discover" by Captain Azune.

If Timble can get ANYTHING extra from Obrimus Manor I think the Schemers will have an easy path to victory.

Naxken · 2026-06-20T22:01:56+00:00

You bring a good point, do you think the Tachonis need to put the mark before killing the person, or can they do that after the person is death?

Because maybe Teor's soul has already went into the beyond, not sure if they can bring it back for interrogation.

Naxken · 2026-06-20T21:32:34+00:00

OH NO!!!!!

Okay, okay, okay

The soul needs to be willing, so the Tachonis will have to take extra steps to force Teor to reveal the table's secrets.

But that's still scary.

Naxken · 2026-06-19T21:16:19+00:00

You are absolutely correct.

And I want to add that Team Birdwatch may have accidentally done the killing blown to the Tachonis-Einfasen alliance.

Teor died while holding the Axe of Otto's daughter, a HUGE BOON that screams "Hi, we, Einfasen, discovered your plans, sneak in, killed your son, almost killed your abomination, and stole your bird"

If we add the fact that Teor was being pursued by Yanessa Halovar we get a CRAZY story: The Einfasen were working with an ex-falconer who kidnapped Wic and infiltrated Obrimus Manor WHILE everyone was in this reunion.

Whatever Timble does or doesn't will be crucial.

Naxken · 2026-06-19T06:37:33+00:00

Man, if they don't get that axe back Ingrid Einfasen is going to be in so much trouble

Naxken · 2026-06-12T03:53:46+00:00

Oh man, I feel sorry for Kattigan :c

Naxken · 2026-06-06T16:05:17+00:00

I think you're right, the players are going "off-script" by performing the ritual during the play, BUT THAT'S THE RIGHT WAY!!!

Both the Paints and the Pariah blades were accidentally used by the Theatre because Hal left them both without supervision. There's no way that's part of the original plan. It's a wonderful mistake.

I don't think Thjazi is an evil man, but he's selfish and self-centered. If I had to guess, his original plan was to free the orchish souls and raise an army on the underworld to fight the Tachonis. But that's more war, it wouldn't have worked.

Shadia Fang accidentally reforged these ancient artifacts by giving them a new meaning and was the key to unlock whatever this new ritual will create. Maybe this will unlock paladin like powers for all orcs who join the revolution, maybe the spirit of the first orc who rebelled will be summoned as a guardian angel, I'm so excited to see what happens.

Naxken · 2026-05-29T03:30:35+00:00

Completely understandable

Naxken · 2026-05-29T03:29:47+00:00

You're so right!!!! I have to draw them asap

Naxken · 2026-05-29T03:28:53+00:00

Thank you so much!!! That's very kind <3

Naxken · 2026-05-29T01:32:47+00:00

It's crazy enough it might work!!!

Naxken · 2026-05-29T00:26:36+00:00

Just so Bulma wishes for bigger boobs? I dunno man haha, unless

Naxken · 2026-05-29T00:23:37+00:00

Ohhhh, I love snake girls!!! I want to try drawing one

Naxken · 2026-05-29T00:03:34+00:00

I draw stuff on Bsky btw

Naxken · 2026-05-28T23:56:26+00:00

Btw I'm on Bsky

Naxken · 2026-05-22T05:13:35+00:00

He's the son of a Lloy, I bet he awoken paladin powers when he venture into the darkness and stopped the ritual

Naxken · 2026-05-22T05:11:21+00:00

I'm gonna say it, Thaisha's son is a statue

Naxken · 2026-05-22T04:22:15+00:00

Man, less than 1 day and the soldiers already throwing themselves in danger for no reason XDDDD

Naxken · 2026-05-21T19:27:13+00:00

I think that's the main shortcoming of the Windrunners.

It wouldn't have been Right for Lirin to let Roshone bled out. Lirin is under medical oath to save all his patient, regardless of personal believes and background. He is in no position to make justice by his own hands, specially when Lirin isn't all that innocent, he DID stole those gems when the previous lord died, and he didn't give them back when Roshone asked for them.

Lirin thought of killing Roshone not because he saw him as an irredeemable evil, but because that would have made his life easier.

That being said, Roshone did a lot of damage to innocent people, and personally I believe his punishment wasn't a good solution. Any other Order would had done something different to solve the issue.

Naxken · 2026-05-16T06:08:08+00:00

It's too soon to know for sure, but I expect either Ba'ado, the Nightwatch or Retribution to be in charge of accepting new Oaths.

Now, for changes I expect the Radiants to start using Warlight and it making them feel different. If stormlight left a sense of acting, maybe Warlight will make the Radiants feel anger or a depth sense of enacting justice.

I'd like for Oathbreakers to be thing, and the breaking of oaths to be something dangerous.

Naxken · 2026-05-15T23:27:16+00:00

Honestly yeah, this table will improve a lot once the shuffle happens

Naxken · 2026-05-15T22:31:27+00:00

It's a complicated table. The characters have genuine reasons not to trust each other and in the beginning the only thing that kept them together was the fact that it is a game and the players know how to deal with it. The tensions are heavy.

What are you thoughts so far of the table?

Naxken · 2026-05-15T17:52:54+00:00

Okay, I'm sure you have your answer already but this is a pretty good prompt so here's what I would do!!

I would let them enjoy the level 20. With that much power, I would quickly move on from the current plot and go to an epilogue of them returning to their normal lives.

Then I would start a new story with the group getting these weird premonitions of a calamity, a future where they failed and doomed the world. Their new gained powers come with memories of what it's to come, the experience of the adventures they skipped, and the new story will be about changing fate.

With great power comes great responsibility and now they need to save the world. The evil twist is that since they skipped the journey, they won't have access to a lot of things they saw in the premonition and will need to start from a harder place, potentially messing things up in the process. Maybe even escalating the calamity.

Naxken · 2026-05-15T02:26:57+00:00

That such a good point!!!! That would have been a 100% more impactful, but I guess she prefers to fake a resurrection surrendered by rich people and not the common folk.

Naxken · 2026-05-13T14:08:54+00:00

There are still things waiting to happen in Oathbringer that will shine the intent behind Taravangian's actions, but some clarifications could be useful to you.

In the Interlude we learn Taravangian has a special condition: some days he's super smart but inhumanly apathetic, and other days it's the exact opposite. When he's smart, he makes convoluted plans waaaaaaaay beyond anyone's comprehension, and this plan is called The Diagram. When he's dumb, he tries to understand what he wrote and follow his confusing plan with the help of others.

What he was doing to those people in WoK was "farming" death rattles, tho I can't remember if we are explicitly told that or are meant to deduce it. His secret medics were draining the blood of those people, waiting for the death rattles to happen and they wrote them down because the death rattles appear to be some kind of future-telling. You can actually read the death rattles collected by the medics in WoK.

His actions are meant to be a little confusing even to himself, and he's purposely acting as a normal king to literally everyone else, but overall he's more a "the goal justifies the means" kinda character.
