"There are a number of measures that can prevent a projection of the kind Maximus uses... we will need to gather more information to narrow down the possibilities." Vassarious joins Halcyone in research to try and learn more about the situation and the nature of Maximus' powers. |

Gracus Curio is technically governor of Lithus. He is bitterly opposed to the rebellion, but he has very little power with his world in enemy hands. He mostly gives vigorous speeches about how the rebels are thieves, heretics, and murders. Ceillio Gethus is governor of Verdaze. He demands obedience to Maximus (and thus maximus's hierarchy). He spends a lot of effort on promoting philosophy, particularly that of the priests. He says their is little to no room for compromise with those who disobey the emperor. Hyratus Morco is governor of Aquas. He keeps saying to wait for the emperor to wake up. He sticks with his fellow governors though, and favors maintaining the status quo. Moratus Ingelni is governor of Monstri. He is seeking a solution to the rebellion, trying to balance the demands of the other governors and the rebels. He's the only Governor who can said to be neutral in the war. The populace of Monstri seems to lean towards the rebellion, but Ingelni seems to be keeping them from raising arms. Quote:

OK, more questions: 1) Are the undead heroes active while Maximus rests? Are any of them politically active (i.e. part of the rebellion, sitting in the senate, supporting a particular faction, related to a senator, etc.)? 2) Are any of the soldier breeds (and possible other kinds of breeds?) more or less privileged than others? 3) Are there any notable factions in the senate? Has any expressed dissent at a decision made by Maximus? 4) Are there any public factions amongst the priesthood? If not, is it possible to read between the lines and identify possible factions? 5) Are there any details on the security of Maximus's temples? If entry into his temple is enough to gain his attention, maybe we could try breaking in which would definitely get his attention. I'll do five research rolls for each question, and add a Memetics roll for 3 and 4 (4 indicated I'll try reading between the lines, for 3 I imagine that dissent might not be public). Quote:

The place is also the seat of power for the priests, who dress distinctively.

Re: Corco's Villa (IC)
More questions:
1) Do priests ever leave the temple complex? Do they take security with them? 2) What would be needed to claim to be a priest from far away? 3) Would it be possible for Corco (or whoever handles procurment) to fabricate priestly dress? 4) Would there be anything else needed to pose as priest? (i.e. entries in a database, false identity papers, someone to vouch, etc.) 5) Would the security at the temple complex be able to see through Vassarious's shapeshifting? Quote:

"From what I am reading here, Moratus Ingelni is likely the best governor to speak to on the situation. His Neutrality is likely to provide the most accurate representation of the finer details of the situation. "

Is there a lot of language variance on the skerry? Quote:
Assuming that we will end up needing to break into the temple anyway, do you think it would be easier if you pretended to pretended to be an object I carried in, if only because nobody will be wondering where the missing priests are?" |
