By only recruiting family, they could be killed by the Familicide spell. The entire Draketooth clan, arrogant in its power bubble, was killed as a result of its own actions. She even died it doesn't get more powerless than that. They were cruel, selfish, and took away what mattered most to her. Penelope appeared powerless to find them or do anything afterwards. This isn't even close to the subject of the irony.Įven clarifying the subject counts as debating, so I know I took the bait.ĭraketooth Clan stole Penelope's child, that which was most dear to her. Hey, that's kind of like how Penelope had reason for hating the Draketooths, so her helping out against them would in no way be a reversal of expectations and thus not ironic! Cool!OK, I can't help myself. They know Nale knows about Girard so assuming there opponent isnt chaincasting trueseeing is jsut ridiculous While it is extremely likely he has his ring its still unlikely for them to detect the ambush I can't wait to find out! his move silently may be terrible, but theyll be in position long before the LG is in ear shot Perhaps the Order will actually find out about Tarquin's ring, while Tarquin is under the impression that he just detected one of the Draketooth illusions. Durkon detected an illusion on "Thog's" armour, but couldn't recognize Tarquin's suit beneath it.
One thing that I didn't consider: True Seeing can detect illusions, but it doesn't necessarily reveal true identity. Not to mention the irony behind Penelope helping out against the Draketooths. The ring served him very well in the recent past, and he's going to the illusionist's gate.
He could have easily let Elan trip on his words and reveal everything, but he was confident he'd be able to find out without using Elan that way. Look how he almost figured out what was going on with OotS & LG before he even spoke with Nale. And I doubt Tarquin got into his position of power by not looking for details & paying attention. If it's not concealment, he'll try to disguise himself. Not to mention the irony behind Penelope helping out against the Draketooths.ĭurkon has an abominable Move Silently & Hide penalty. Tarquin has a knife to his throat in the way his success on the continent relys on the other 5, no single person in the party is in "control" or is non-replaceable Malack made it perfectly clear what hes going to do to Tarquin if Tarquin doesnt put on his bussiness faceĪssuming he brought his ring of true seeingĪssuming tarquin isnt distractedThose assumptions aren't so far fetched. It seems he really cares about Elan, so will he find some way to signal to Elan that they must cancel the ambush? Will he forfeit his tactical advantage, allowing the Linear Guild to walk into the ambush? Will he convince LG to take another route? Or is his promise to Malack most important, meaning he will capitalise on the advantage despite the risk to his son?assuming he brought his ring of true seeingĪssuming the order uses completely magic concealmentĪssuming they hide in a spot Tarquin looksĪssuming Tarquin makes a spot check that exceeds the orders hide checkĪssuming all that, Tarquin points them out and the Melee begins because if he doesnt its highly likely the other 5 members of his team will decide Tarquin has become to sentimental with age and being warmblooded and human and all and will decide to cut him out to prevent future losses But now he promised Malack there would be no more goofing around. "I don't work with loose cannons like that").
He could guarantee that his sons survived the first encounter by being on the frontline himself (and making sure Thog wasn't. But now I'm wondering what would he do in such a case? I'm just picturing a future set of events where Tarquin can see through a prepared ambush because of his Ring of True Seeing.
