I hope sarcasm was not lost in my few earlier posts.. where I compared RPG to computer games..<br/><br/>Artifacts part sure, but what about the knowledge of "sidequests". For excample, did Al´Rhayel got the information about the beast (near town Bremoor) before or after the Apoc?<br/>And what about Thalya information about the Masked Mage? Has the archwizard been elevated to his position, after the apoc, or has he hod it for decades? And Alyssas info about the legend of Weepingstone.. to me, all of those seem to have originated long before the end of the world even.<br/><br/>But, all in all, Im okay with any plan of action the Lightbearer wants us to take, as none of them seem more viable that others, at this time.<br/><br/>Breakdown:<br/>Artifact 1 (Song of the Shining Lady) : We know nothing about its powers (and/or usefulness to retrieve rest of them), We know its guarded by elfs or worse. (Dangerous to Hostile, depends if we need to seek soem trapfilled dungeon without anyone suitable for it)<br/>Artifact 2 (Visage of the Radiant One) : We know nothing about its powers (and/or usefulness to retrieve rest of them), City adventure among desert islanders. (probably more social that outright hostile)<br/>Artifact 3 (Embrace of the Lightmother):  We know nothing about its powers (and/or usefulness to retrieve rest of them), Probably ouright hostile, as paladins/clerics went mad (Hostile)<br/>Sidequest1 (Masked Mage): Taken that mages revel from mr.Ts powers, hardly an social mission...Probably gaining enemy more that ally at this point. (Dangerous to Hostile, depending what is "archwizard" qualification in this world.<br/>Sidequest2 (Weepingstone): Smith ally would be invaluable, but him being an dwarf, we'r not going to get him with us on the ship easily. (Social, probably the least dangerous, but maybe hardest to get profit from in long run)<br/>Sidequest3 (Bremoors monster): Vrery little is known of this monster, but as its not hostile to the town, probably its not dangerour to group. (Social, problem is mostlikely singular entity, with lowest benefits, unless its very powerful being, then its not likely that is will even hear us.)<br/><br/>Sure, that breakdown is not compleate, but points out our current situation. If there is somekind of vote (by players, not characters) Id say we should head toward the Smith first. If vote is made by characters, Al´Rhayel votes the one that contains least water voyage...<br/><br/><br/>And about the map: I have it downloaded on my computer, and cant read it zoomed, goes to pixel porridge.
