Mary-Sue plots

Thank you Skipper! At least I did not get a well deserved smack with the hat AND I am the wholesome, not skeezy, one      

Actually a daylight hunting party is theoretically a pretty good idea as that is presumably when he could be caught sleeping. There are problems with it of course, mainly that it does not fit into the GM's plan, for the moment at least. The players cannot know that for sure until they are told. I am not trying to fault the planning at all, there are very real limitations to what can be done despite your best efforts. That means that to some extent we the players have to depend on whatever clues come our way and our anticipations may well be out of whack if we embrace the event with too much enthusiasm. This is a far smaller problem than having your efforts completely ignored, don't you think?

1) Uh...can you say a bunch of well-drilled half-wits?  Maybe I need to bring Mom over and have her whip 'em into a real bunch o' guards...

2) Kaerli would have probably either tried to pick the thing off from behind first chance she got or stalked it for a long time, observing it.

3) *inspects really closely* Hmmm...have I seen this before?

4) What in Xiosia's name are you doing draggin' Ulbers around like that? *runs the wizard through before he even gets halfway to the city*

5) Just try to arrest me.    (hint: I wouldn't be surprised if the incarceration spell just plum didn't work on Farren or Kaerli, Farren's quite resistant to magic and Kaerli has a limited form of that through her necklace)  (they could, but it'd take them a good deal of time and effort to do so + they'd have to do it "by hand" for the reason mentioned above)


6) Hmmm...I sure hope that criminal's name's Allola Peloosey...*licks lips and watches execution eagerly if it is* it's about time they disposed of her...

7) You might want to fix the laws while you're at it folks...you've got the guards running around arrestin' people for misdemeanors while a slaver sits right under your nose!  Now, that makes as much sense as an Ulbernaut trying to fit through the door to Kada's!

[point 1] The job buys ale

[point 2] Kaerli is smart.

[point 4] third option - tag along and see what happens it could be fun. 

[point 6] Aww Kaerli rid us of Queen AP and her retinue?   

[point 7] Hehe law enforcement is like water and takes the easy path (i.e traffic offences get you promoted - hard crime is hard work ) so the guards behaviour is very credible wrt 'our world'.

Thanks for the post Kaerli - it was worth responding to
