'In Theory...' being the notable point here yes?

*grumblegrumble* stupid fumble *grumble*

So quick point. You guys mind me being kinda stubborn here? I have literally no intention of giving up my spear. My longsword I'll toss in a heartbeat but the spear is kinda my holy symbol. Any objection to me arguing with the guards about this or you just want to move on for stories sake?

Chen Wu is also not giving up his pistol (it's his masterpiece and the work of his life), and will suggest that they take shelter somewhere else if hard pressed. First thing he's going to try is hiding it, though. So, yeah, I'm on the same boat as you, Garren.

]I'm there, too.

Sai is under the impression there are people trying to kill us, so less than enthused about disarming.


Rub it in, why don't you?

As a reminder, the town is not walled. The guards are on the ground with you all outside the building with lights inside, which is the inn.

I will wait for Chen Wu's assent first.

...I'll go back and make an edit to make it make sense. I just assume every guard is on a wall. Stops them dying so much.

I am going to let you all hash it out. Let the guards know when you have a final answer.

What time of day is it?

It is about 10:30pm.

Checking in with Dr_Demento. Are you still with us?

Did you try PM'ing him, DS? I see him posting all the time in other parts of the forum.

I have. You all may keep going while I see if he wanted to drop. Let's see if you all can get to level two.

Feel free to roleplay out the rest of setting up and going to rest. Assume there is ample dry wood, running water, etc., and you have free use of your equipment list. I don't need to approve like starting a fire or rolling out your bed.

Question. Are we going to give it a little time to see if anyone responds to the Set-Up thread or just carry on as is?

Carry on, my wayward son.

Given that Dr. Demento's character was carrying the statue, should we play out that one of us has it?

My guess is that you won't give it to Chen, right?

I don't see why not. If Chen made noises about abandoning the job, he'd ask for it.

Yeah, you can handwave it over to someone else.

You all have this basic knowledge of Jin. You are at the gray star, Ceonling, in the region of Ong, on Gold River. You are trying to go to the black star, Gusing. The purple lines are major roads. The red star is the Southern Capital, Soenglau, and the blue star is the Eastern Captial, Toisam. Yellow is Hoi Lan Fa.

Ugh, that changes things. Are the stars the only major cities? Also, can I say Chen is carrying a map similar to this one?
