Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Andy does an AMA, as Queek has taken Ryan.
Q: What would dwarves do if they found out about me, Kang Rupesh, Lybaras, a dwarf tomb king?
There would be mixed feelings; some would resist, others would be curious or opportunistic, and the scenario could generate complex political dynamics within the dwarven community.
Now Queek has Andy, so Ryan AMA!
Q: If Warpstone is a form of dark magic, is it purely Chaos or is there a more nuanced origin?
Warpstone and dark magic are treated as interconnected phenomena arising from the Winds of Magic and the ether; Warpstone results from extreme magical density, potentially the by-product of Old One technology or a natural consequence of magic, with necromancy and other dark arts sharing a common magical base.
Ryan Arrives for a Solo AMA!
Q: Professor Shapp, what type of magic system is in Araby, and do they have their own colleges of magic?
Araby has several wizards who rely on apprenticeships where spirits are bound and technologies of magic are crafted through feats of binding and artifact use; they are renowned for crafting powerful magical items and drawing on lores like light and fire, with a strong emphasis on capturing elemental spirits and using them through bound artifacts.
Ryan Arrives for a Solo AMA!
Q: From Eggman, what would be the consequences if a human popped up in Lothern or Altdorf that could passively banish us, kill greater demons?
The consequences would probably be pretty severe: such a human would be assassinated or captured and studied in Lothern or Altdorf, depending on where they appeared, with the likely outcome being that they would be killed if they posed a direct threat, or kept under tight control if they represented a new kind of power that could destabilize the current order.
No One Expects the Witch Hunters! BURN THE HERETICS!
Q: Would she intervene to keep the wizard alive to kill later?
In this scenario, it seems likely that the Witch Hunter would want to use the party to deal with the wizard instead of killing him to keep their actions legal.
