Re: The Jade Empire, City of Kurashiki

And one more:
  • Julian is coming to Kurashiki to reveal that one of House Linxan's young scions is actually his child - that dalliance is why he ran the Dragon Lines here in the first place.

Re: The Jade Empire, City of Kurashiki

Recent events and rumors - please do note that these are the stories that are going around, and they're guaranteed not 100% accurate. One of Amber's Rangers turned up dead in the streets! The investigation is in progress, but if our magistrates can't track down and punish the killer, there will be w...

The Jade Empire, City of Kurashiki

Kurashiki was, until recently, something of a backwater - oh, sure, it was one of the better launching points for trade expeditions through the southern deserts, but the tribes of barbarians and nomads never had that much to offer. Between that and trade along the coast and up the Kura river, it was...

Re: Important NPCs

Dworkin: A dwarven engineer, presumably from Dwarrodelf, made famous as the original designer of the Iron Dragons. Tends to hang around in Amber and... tinker with things. The Amber royal family also knows him as the creator of their Trump decks, though he's been fairly reticent about sharing the te...

Important Setting Questions

When & where is the game set? Are cell phones ubiquitous, or fanciful super-spy gadgets? Do we have post 9/11 paranoia or is it still possible to go meet someone as they depart their plane? Are we running with a generic (or non-generic) US city, or going further afield? How long have powers been...

"Game is dead"

I've gotten that declaration from Josh on at least three occasions, now, and, after some discussion with other players, I'm inclined to let the most recent one stand. For me, in large part, it boils down to communication issues. I knew, going into this, that I'd have to do run interference between J...

Re: 002d: Lair of the Snake Person

Kin is... not deliberately being especially stealthy, here, but she does generally tend to move quietly as a default. I don't think I can really speak to the 'how much does he hear' question, though, given that we don't know how the safe room is set up; it might be designed to be able to listen in t...

Re: 002d: Lair of the Snake Person

"On the one hand, stationing someone behind the apartment could be useful. On the other hand, I don't really think we should split up - or fail to bring all of our expertise to bear on searching Ms. Ryan's apartment." Unless someone else brings up any counter-arguments, Kin will lead the ...

Re: 002d: Lair of the Snake Person

"Well, it would be quite impolite to simply barge in if someone's at home." And Kin will ring the bell for Ms. Ryan's apartment.

Re: 002d: Lair of the Snake Person

100% OOC post. The original post was written in a way that made it unclear if we had the apartment number, nevermind the keys to it, so that's probably why the replies here seemed a bit more tentative than definitive. If Augustus doesn't want to use scrying to check for anyone in the apartment, or i...
