BULiK Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I just thought of something interesting... What if, when Onewa Dies, Inu, Onewa's Parakuka, would... I dunno... Detach from the corpse (provided the assassins hadn't destroyed it already), and later latch on to another PC? It would be neat for someone to have a Parakuka that has gained some wisdom from one of the Villages's former leaders. Possibly, that could also be the way the public finds out the identities of the murders, since the Vakama said they already knew who would kill them, so if Onewa was informed as vakama, Inu would probably have known as well. That would advance the witch hunt that Tuck has vowed to accomplish. Of course, another possibility is that Inu dies in a last stand, staying by his friend's side to the bitter end.

Krayzikk Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 You know, everyone is saying the Bad Company assassins will be hunted, but you see, most of them weren't caught. To any degree. -Grokk: People know the assassin is a Skakdi. Not exactly helpful. I think we can safely say that tracking this one will be difficult, and that's if you can even figure out it's him.-Dorian: Guards know they were knocked out by a Fe-Toa. With the concussions they received, they most likely won't be able to provide a clear description. And even if a description could be provided, Dorian is thought dead, and has been for weeks. He's safe.-Jin: I haven't read her post yet, so I can't comment.-Marfoir: No one saw him, or heard him. Safe.-Brykon: Jumped into a chasm. Thought dead. Assuming he's alive, safe.-Liacada: The only one that has been caught, and I suspect, will be caught. And the assassination of Onewa hasn't happened yet. Note, that this list does not include any knowledge the Guard may have been given by Turaga. But Vakama specified that that information would not be put to use for a long time yet anyway. In other words, those who intend to hunt down and take vengeance on the assassins have a lot of work cut out for them. Most of them covered their tracks very well.

Oh, and not to mention the fact that "tracking vision yay" is borderline metagaming, especially with how dead the trail will have been, and how far Marfoir will have gotten, by the time your characters might have been able to figure out the general area from which he fired. Not to be egotistical, or condescending, or anything (well, jury's still out), but it's highly unlikely that this'll happen any time soon, in any way.

AuRon the champion Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 On the whole thought of 'hunting the assassins'... I'd like to point out, it's not going to happen. Not without Metagaming. Unless the admins specifically give us some sort of information that will allow us to hunt the assassins... It's not gonna happen.

Constructelf Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Well, it's not gonna happen, but Thliveros sure is going to try (once he gets healed up and all). He won't rest until Brykon's head is mounted on his wall until then, there's always a possibility that he's still out there. He's probably gonna retake some forensics courses just to make sure. But yeah, the assassins made a very good getaway, and aside from the try-hard/stupid/crazy/no life people (Thliveros), most of the island will probably be too busy mourning.

I only read the post with Grokk). On Ga-Koro, the only characters who know Grokk killed the Turaga are Embok and Hahli (Is she still alive?). Embok's not gonna speak (Haha), and Hahli...

Friar Tuck Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 Ok guys, just want to clarify about the assassin-hunting: I'M ON THE ASSASSIN'S SIDE WITH THIS ISSUE. Yup. Really. As far as I have seen and are concerned, while the effects of their killings are evident, there is little to no evidence of who done it. Few if any eye-witnesses, fingerprints, blah blah blah... the assassins have done their job and have made a clean getaway. While I cannot rule out the possibility that someone could come up with something, I am 99% sure that NO ONE could come up with the identities and right now trace the killers. They are unknown. How does that jive with my promise earlier? Simple: I'm a GM. As such I have the ability to manipulate past, present, and future events to ensure storyline continuity. More importantly, I get to RP BZPRPG Canon charries and their knowledge... and I have every right not to explain everything. Yet I will, and as my past record has shown I ALWAYS explain my controversial actions. Problem is, you guys aren't patient enough. Yes, there will be a FULL explanation as to HOW and WHY certain individual(s) know the names of the assassins, and it will be done IC. The time to post that is not quite here yet. The story must flow naturally and I cannot simply throw out plans or reasons the moment you call BS because you feel slighted. Instead of complaining, why don't you just trust me to write this story that myself, Nuju, and everyone else involved is writing and enjoy the trip, and find out the how and why when it comes... just like every other good book. I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you Living large... like clown-shoe size large. Complete with nose, rainbow-colored hair, and a bottle of seltzer water.

otter Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 yadda yadda yay Tuck post woo *** So you're on the Assassins' sides, and yet you're going to be sending mercenaries/vigilantes/whatever-you-want-to-call-them after them, when at least half of them, after this, will want to just go on to a normal life. As well, I'm sorry about my possible complaining but it just doesn't add up. Sure, you're a GM, you can manipulate events like this, yadda yadda....Fine. But sending people to hunt down those who are unknown now just because 'evil never wins?' Making it so that the Turaga just knew they were being killed and who was going to kill them? I'm sorry I don't wait for an explanation, but I'm just quite frankly a little exasperated with this, and I have been since you made that first promise. Yes, I understand that you're GM and that you can keep your secrets, but honestly...this is just a little much. Like I said. I'm told by one person that I have to go kill a Turaga, and the next, oh look, apparently now my character is going to get hunted down and I'm not even being told why except "evil never wins" or something like that.
