Sylvan Crucible
Setting: Sylvan Crucible
Purpose: Introduce the lunars.
Concept: In a mix of tropical and disiduous forest, a system of marble walkways and pools wonders through the forest, with several circles of columns. Stairways often rise to nothing or descend to stone or water. Around a large central courtyard, there is also a massive feasting hall, a shrine of sorts and a defensible tower containing the hearthroom. Lots of animals, deer in particular. Some deer- or other beast-men.
Complications: If unannounced, reaction will be hostile.
Meeting with Stag
Setting: Sylvan Crucible, before dinner
Purpose: Give Stag background on one of the lunars.
Concept: Sulvad Tiaosa recognizes Stag by his smell. Shows himself in old identity. Curious about what happened to him. Rumors of consorting with the Empress.
Complications: None.
Lunar Council
Setting: Sylvan Crucible
Purpose: Introduce the point of the wyld run, exposition for empress return.
Concept: High points:
- "Come only in your true face".
- "That is his true face, lord. Or one of them, at any rate."
- The existance of Second Chance, a potion that erases things, including lunar tattoos.
- Disposition of Pia.
- Suggestion of sweat lodge. Shows visions of the future. May show memories as well.
- Question as to why Guen as not called a tlak.
- Revelation of Sulvad that he was brought by vision, he thought to talk with Korlysto, but more likely to the circle. Mnemon knows of a wedding to held coincident with empresses funeral. Stopping funeral may interrupt wedding. Time of funeral is a political game, as if brings questions of succession to the fore.
Complications: Probably none.
Sweat Lodge
Setting: Sylvan Crucible
Purpose: Expose some character secrets and drop hints about the future.
Concept: Circle meditates in chamber. Sees shared Medicine Lodge Vision.
Complications: Probably none.
Planning
Setting: Sylvan Crucible
Purpose: Figure out where to go.
Concept: PC consideration:
- Poison Vault will recognize the Forest of Arms if it is described.
- Korlysto knows the name of Wyr'palja's city was Q'in Sanizaj.
- Korlysto will know that Cahlenna was a member of the Opal Court and the circle may be able to coerse raksha into revealing information about it.
Complications: Probably none.
