Horsemen of the Apocalypse 3 - OOC

So, since we're almost done updating characters and getting the rules sorted out, I think its time to start discussing starting the game. :)

Has everyone caught up with the recent summaries of what happened?  Is it clear where we are and what is going on?

Mostly, are we still in Mozambique or are we in southern Tanzania now? Just want to gauge how far from the Phoenix Empire we are, and how far those demon slavers had to travel. Not sure how or where exactly we ended following the encounter with the demon slaver group.

Otherwise, we believe we're fairly close to Famine due to all the starving people we've encountered and blighted food/water. Meanwhile we have little intel on Famine itself, in terms of its capabilities.

The other concern is intervention of the Phoenix Empire forces during the fight since they seem to know that we're causing problems for the Horsemen. And with their varied magical abilities it will be difficult to detect during scouting.

You're definitely in northern Tanzania now.  You're only 200-300 miles from the southern border of the Phoenix Empire.

To help, I uploading two maps of Africa to the Game Map.  The main one is just the countries.  The second one (go to the bottom to select it) has topography, but is badly pieced together fromn 3 parts.

Also remember that you've been in Africa for 2-3 months now at least.

I am caught up, having not played through most of what has been mentioned since war I am going to stick to what the summaries say.  If there is need for me to know more feel free to rMail me Erik.

As a side note, talking with Mike and Erik I safely am assuming that Sophes would have a good idea that Vrrryl is a chiang-ku dragon.  This way there won't be any weird awkwardness.  THat being said I am fine with Sophes roleplaying it with Vrryl and finding out in actual fact in game.

As for what we should do, Sophes is smart enough to think that going into the Phoenix empire is a bad idea.  We are better served to do a recce and find out a trail to pestilence.  If it leads into the empire then we make a lightning fast strike in and out to deal with it.  I doubt it will though as it seems like they would rather the demon infect lands outside themselves.

Does the group have a mass cloaking ability?  Would allow us to move as one unit and stay under the radar as it were.

No, it doesn't. I do not believe such a spell exists in Palladium. Our best option would be to have a small recce team with superior invisibility and fast flight find Pestilence, relay that back to the team and have them teleport in. But even teleport superior is limited somewhat (1000lbs/level), so we'd likely need a couple of casters for the spell and be on a leyline to get the 50% boost. That's a good chunk of PPE gone though.

I'm not sure how much interference we'll get from the Phoenix Empire guys once we actually engage Pestilence, since Pestilence likely will not distinguish between us and them and just seek to wipe out everything. I'd expect us to be harried along the way though, and that could be a real time sink since they have a lot of demons with a lot of MDC to chew through.

At any rate we have to find Pestilence first, and that shouldn't prove too difficult. And then we have to ascertain what kind of attacks it can dish out.
