Sorry, for the delay on getting back to you guys.<br/><br/>I've had many different talks with Pentagious over his runes. He is expressly forbidden from using it in any way other then a make shift weapon against other Heroes.<br/><br/>To further help avoid unfair situations or things like clever poisons each hero is presented with the tournament's own weapons. That way there is a guarantee the weapons are blunted, not poisoned, or tampered with in any way.<br/><br/>If any of you would like to add some special quirk to your character you're welcome to do so within reason. I viewed his "sorcery" as a weapon that's able to change into other weapons so I didn't view it as a large advantage so long as he doesn't throw metal dust into someone's face.<br/><br/>The higher ups, the Dukes and such have probably met once or twice at the behest of the Emperor.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=162281.msg7531557#msg7531557">Quote from: AribethAmkiir on 13-01-2013, 07:40:31</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Yeah, Colorado native myself and that was rough.<br/><br/>I have a question that can wait until after you're on the mend (or you've drank enough to forget the game): Would 200 armed men actually be allowed to enter the city?  Or for that matter would anyone be allowed to wear weapons openly in the city?  It seems to me like the city watch and the emperor would want high security within the city during the tournament.  All it takes is for a group of individuals to dislike the outcome of a fight and take matters into their own hands.  The opportunity for bandits and other undesirables to enter the city would also increase.<br/><br/>If people are allowed to enter the city armed freely, may I suggest that we have some incidents occur?  Maybe some nobles kidnapped or attempts on some princesses' lives?<br/><br/>This game has so much potential, enough to rival a saga like "A Song of Ice and Fire".  I'm hoping that Untamed Skies will want this game to go beyond the tournament.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>To help keep the insanity of having so many men enter the city they were mostly being restricted to the Hero's Quadrant which if you noticed on the map is sealed off. The official stance is so that the heroes may be protected by townspeople who may pick favorites in the game, but it's also because it's easier to keep an eye on them. Harder for them to sneak around if there is a specific place they are staying.<br/><br/>The city is vast and massive if a lord is capable of pulling his militia away from his country without crippling it, and could keep them disguised then they would no doubt be able to keep them inside of the city doing whatever. There are many "fans" that have traveled from all over to watch their lord fight and become Emperor.<br/><br/>I had high hopes for the RP and if everyone is still interested past the crowning of the emperor I know there are a couple of lords and it seems one or two princesses that might just start a civil war over power and that could begin the next chapter. I really like to let the RP take on the shape of those playing in it, so it'll go wherever everyone else leads it.<br/><br/>I think that's all the questions if I missed one I apologize.
