*had assumed that people in Gelderhom had travelled back and forth on visits when in the tavern*

I think we talked about this and the GM said that, in the previous AG, they treated the Tavern as some inter-dimensional place where everyone could gather.

Well, someone half-dead from Gelderholm would not travel to Scribel City to chit-chat with friends, would they?

It's clear that we apparently have a non-interventionalist faction, and they need to be convinced before the City Council is willing to move forward.

The challenge here is coming up with regions that are sufficiently interesting (from a Quest Board perspective) enough yet also pressing enough for the City to act. For instance, I can't really think of a reason for the guild to open a branch in a peaceful human town with a setting just like Scribel City. On the other hand, I don't think there were any obvious benefits stated with Fuyu Machi and the Lizardmen -- and it's unclear what Scribel City would gain from having a branch in either of these locations.

The Halfwing Federation idea was based on the idea that maybe Scribel would work together with the Rebels to stop the Holy Human Empire from breaking past the Black Mountains -- and spilling over right next to Scribel's borders -- but it seems like many characters weren't convinced. :blob_happy:
Do we really have a non-interventionalist faction? I mean... Surely some people are worried about what repercussions would reach the guild in case we picked sides on things, but I don't think there is anyone actively against intervening?

Using Nene as an example, she is just mainly worried about what she can do right now to help others and what would be the immediate consequences of her actions... She doesn't look too long term...

Like... If you aid enemies of the Empire, you become an enemy of the Empire... That's about as far as she thought.

She didn't think much about what would happen in the long run if the Empire took over the Hobbit land and what not. And she also has no clear opinion on the Lizardmen or Fuyu Machi... She just thinks we should help find the disappeared Lizardmen.

That's how it is for Nene at least, I can't talk about anyone else, but I think most are more worried about possible repercussions than being actually against intervening.
I'm confused on which one I should reply to on freestyle RP...
Go with the flow! xD
All we know is that the tavern is falling apart.
And it's all the GM's fault for breaking the tables... Jiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!
Was actually debating whether or not would I issue quests about the Tavern's disrepair state as well as the mystery of multi-dimensional Tavern that seemed to connect between both the Scribel City and the Gelderholm... :blob_reach:
That would be hilarious! xD

I assume it too, but it's fun to work with other assumptions as well~

New OP Looks nice~

And investigating the magic of lack of common sense could also be fun! xD

:blob_happy: I mean, so far what we’ve seen IC, it’s mostly been characters against it, right? @GDLiZy (Luna/Sol) was against meddling with the lizardmen, and Nene was against helping the halflings.

The opposition right now seems more strongly worded than the side that want to intervene (which most people seem ambivalent/neutral?), so to me I translate that into the city council would probably be similarly divided — especially if the benefits are not obvious.

EDIT: or well, nobody seems to strongly want to intervene to the extent that it balances out the non-intervening characters.

That seems like a fair assumption! \(^^)/

It came off as a surprise to me that Nene would be against helping the halflings. Well, I thought that she would be those protagonists who wanted to unified the world peace or something like that.

Going by what Nene/Alice hinted about Nene's past - she's traumatised by a similar supreme regime hunting down those who don't fit into it and so doesn't want to poke the hornets' nest, so to speak.

This trope of "escaping death from the race supremacist into another world" is getting out of hands. Even my character also escaped from the church of pureblood human supremacist. :blob_popcorn_two:

To be fair, there's no confirmation that the "Holy Human Empire" is truly as bad as the rebels claim they are.

I mean, it's sort of obvious that the halfings would have an excessively bad opinion to begin with, right?

:blob_happy: In either case, one of my personal goals is to try to steer things in directions where the "good guys" and "bad guys" maybe aren't so obvious.

Liana was more of her sire wanting to properly cultivate her without the pesky authorities getting in the way for him killing an entire temple of people, as well as other reasons.
However, there was no supremacy in that world. Vampires were only persecuted/hunted if they went rogue, where the majority of the people not in power didn't even know they existed.

I don't really have anything against it, because in the end, all would end in a tragedy if I were to put my spin on it. That's why, if I was crazy enough, I might join the Holy Human Empire and made myself a villain of an arc the crew of the Spire Reef and gained some infamous prestige while doing some quests.

Although to be honest, I want a Quest Board in the Holy Human Empire that is all about sabotaging stuff, explosions, and causing chaos as part of the rebels.

:blob_aww: :blob_aww: :blob_aww:

But if the guild won't back it, then it's a non-starter. :blob_happy:

I also want a quest board in Spire Reef that is full of questionable things! :blob_aww: :blob_aww: :blob_aww: :blob_aww:

GM is actually an evil mastermind who is behind the evil organisations - having created them in the past hundreds of years ago - and is using the guild to subjugate the local sentient species - like slimes and those kukku birds!
That vision Zorion saw was actually the slimes revolting against the regime GM established!

IT ALL MAKES SENSE!!!

Mmmmmmm, Nene is a goody-two-shoes at heart, but at times she feels lost.

When she sees someone in trouble, she thinks that she should help... But what if her help would actually cause more trouble to others later on? How do you answer that?

She doesn't know. And when she doesn't know, she goes back to her previous experiences... And from those, she can only believe that getting closer to the Holy Human Empire will bring nothing good.

It's not always clear what are the ways to follow The Goddess' guidances. Especially with macro situations, Nene is quite often unsure on how to act... She is much better at managing smaller situations. One life, one event, one troubled person... It's easier to act when the one in need is right in front of you.

Nene's backstory is basically her fleeing from her world's equivalent of a more religion-focused version of the Holy Human Empire and seeing each of her fellow priestess die one by one at their hands.

... That is listed in my signature btw! It's part of her backstory! xD

So... I guess it's getting somewhat widespread! xD

You could always have the rebels make the quest board.

But then you have to explain why guild receptionists are evaluating them.
