TVC II OOC General OOC Discussion (New)

[Kavok]

Honestly... the parallels between bretonnians and vampires (mostly the blood dragon bloodline) is kinda amazing. Lets just take the Green Knight for example... In the armybook his description is about him being a phantom sort of being who challenges questing knights to a duel to prove their worth to sup from the grail and become grail knights... sounds a lot like how blood dragons do things for their gets. Just a thought I've had in my head for a while...

And looking back in that armybook once again made me kinda disappointed at how plain the grail knights are rule wise... The lore paints them as having amazing powers gifted to them by the lady, but the only time that actually occurs is when you have a special character with a magic item to give him stuff... and they don't have to be grail knights to get that stuff.

 

[Count Vashra]

Would I be correct in stating that Blood Keep was a Brettonian fortress? Or was it Empire?

 

[Kavok]

Its Empire... I looked it up the day before yesterday... I knew it was on the border between the two, but I had thought it was on the Bretonnian side. But, in my search for more information on various blood dragon people, it was on the Empire side. Though thinking about it now, considering it was an inquisitor (I think that was his title) that found them out and had forces remove them, it makes a lot more sense for it being Imperial owned.

Edit: Also... I didn't know that the Red Duke was the King's (of that time) brother... I knew he was a good friend of the king, didn't know they were related though. Meh, there is still more for me to learn I guess.

Edit2: And another thing for the Blood Keep... I'm not sure what made me think it was bretonnian other then wishful thinking because I already knew its order was the blood dragons even before they became vampires, and the empire are the ones who have the named orders and such for their knights.

 

[Count Vashra]

I read The Red Duke some time ago, so may have made a mistake. I'll change it just to be safe.

 

[Simon von Carstein]

There's also the fact that the Red Duke is dead. Slain by Vekarin Banespike during the War against Nagash. Obviously this would not be common knowledge in the new council but we will be addressing it soon.

 

[Count Vashra]

Yes, well, I just learnt that 10 minutes after my post...but then my character wouldn't know everything in the world about Vampires.

 

[The Dread King]

Return of the (Dread) King!

So I'm back to posting on CN. I'll be posting IC (AND THIS TIME I MEAN IT FOR REAL - CURSE YOU, YOU PROCRASTINATION-PROVOKING INTERNET!) tonight.

Edit: right, I've caught up with the posts, but oh dear...I haven't posted since page 2. Making a catch-up post will be tricky...hopefully I'll get it up tonight, though.

 

[Ghouly]

um guys Graveclaw doesn't have the crown here with him anymore

 

[The Dread King]

um guys Graveclaw doesn't have the crown here with him anymore

What happened to it?

I'd just like to point out that in the lore, the fate of the crown of Nagash is always at least somewhat important.

 

[Ghouly]

ditched it back at the cave? DoN didn't say where

 

[The Dread King]

That seems fair enough. Where is the cave though (not the exact location, just which province of the empire...I don't think graveclaw would leave the crown just lying in a cave in Carstein territory).

 

[Ghouly]

Graveclaws cave is in Stirland

 

[Get of W'soran]

Stirland is within the Triumvirates territory

Doesn't necessarily mean that they found his cave though (in fact if its still his cave then they mustn't have

 

[Ghouly]

I doubt they were even looking

 

[The Dread King]

I notice that quite a few RPers have mentioned Graveclaw having the crown recently...we'll have to work out a group post edit together. :tongue:

We could edit our posts to say that we all have knowledge of Graveclaw having the crown of Nagash, but haven't actually seen him wearing it in this meeting. Unless anyone else has any other suggestions, I'll make that edition to my posts involving the crown shortly.

 

[TMS]

I went ahead and edited my post on page 3, referencing Graveclaw's pure physical size instead of the crown. Doesn't work as well but follows the RP better.

 

[Ghouly]

If we go back to silver pinnacle and it's occupied by Chaos I think it should be the Anointed of Slaneesh makes the most sense out of the Chaos fractions

 

[Kavok]

Oh, did the Silver Pinnacle fall to chaos? Must have missed that... Honestly I've been confused as to who betrayed/ambushed us. Or do we even know? Cause I got the impression that it was a 3rd party who was wanting to try and finish the council before it gained any momentum.

 

[Count Vashra]

I don't think we know who ambushed the Council yet.

 

[Ghouly]

we know who it was who tried to kill us

 

[Count Vashra]

Yes, well, the von Carstein rebels. But were they working for themselves, or for others? The former is much more likely, so I shall concede here.

 

[Harland]

I'm of the opinion that they have likely been drafted by the enemy.

 

[Ghouly]

Chaos doesn't use assassins they got balls

 

[Kavok]

Chaos doesn't use assassins they got balls

I get the feeling that tzeentch would likely disagree on that point... Khorn totally, but all the others I could see it happening... Nurgle would be a bit of a stretch, but striking from the shadows is generally less dangerous then just fighting out in the open.

 

[Count michael]

If it was chaos especially Tzeentch then they would of done a better job of the assassination attempt, they would of corrupted several key targets actually in Drakenhof who would of turned just at the right moment killing a large number of the council when they least expected it like when they were discussing their next move most likely
