Treachery of Men Discussion/Planning Thread

Thanks Ang. I did the edit. Yes, I think Khandr sees her a source of information on others rather than of personal interest to him. Of course, that may definitely change!

Regarding the hunt.... There's no reason to have it the very next day. Briga will yell and scream that she can't get ready that fast, since she must prepare foods for the returning party. There could be two or more days for individual spying efforts before we hit the hunt.

What do you think? Should we accept this as a "narrated fact" ie. we have two means to get knowledge of Ulfast which poses us a short-term problem? Another option is that I just go and edit my last post and change Ulfast to one of the other brothers.

Both ways are fine with me.

Nogrod -

Me, too. You and Kath can figure this out and decide how you want to handle it. I'll go along (and Khandr too) with however you want to frame this.

Okay. But in the actual thread it should be Khandr who gives the individual tasks. It's hard to see the relations between him and his retainer / servants / hunters as that democratic...

I'll try to look at those brothers a bit if I could find something interesting where we could "hit"... (meaning: if there is something in their characters or their daily doings that could serve as a possibility to go spying on them).

Yes, I wanted to put that in too, but there seems to be a smiley limit in posts.

Fortunately/unfortunately there is...

Celuien & Foley:I went through all your posts but sadly there was very little revealing the way these brothers go on with their daily life. But have you thought of it? Would there be some things in their daily bussinessess that might be known by people generally like A going to have a walk at time B almost every day or C paying a visit to place D regularly? Or anything like that? E's servant always making the groceries at place F, villager G visiting brother H regularly or known to have good relations with him...?

And I stress that I mean things that would be general knowledge in the town.

Ulwarth likes to appear the bumbling idiot that hides in the hall day in and day out, shy of strangers, and all that. So, most people probably don't see him much. I am not saying that he never leaves the hall, he just doesn't do it so that many people know it.

Uldor, on the other hand, doesn't bother to hide himself, but I can't say that he has any set schedule. I've a feeling that he likes to go out for a lot of 'walks'. These walks probably have a lot of different purposes, but mostly it is to think and to plot by himself. Also, he likes to see what the common people are up to, where their loyalty lies and what their qualities are. Not that he talks much with them. He's more likely to silently observe. Whether or not he is observed himself doesn't bother him much. Though, occasionally, I don't doubt he walks the streets incognito and pretty much 'spies' people out.

As for servants...yes, there might be a few here and there now and again, but not really any personal servants right now, that I know of. You must understand, that this character of mine is much deeper and has a lot of history and a lot of friends that I don't know about yet. I think that Anguirel's character is pretty close to Uldor, but we haven't had a chance to figure that out yet in the game. I'm letting it rest until they meet in the game, as you've probably noticed.

The grocery shopping people are just hirelings of the hall in general. No one close to Uldor or Ulwarth.

Celuien will speak for Ulfast, I'm sure.

Nogrod,

Yes, I think you're right, but I was talking as Child rather than Khandr. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

Let me know what arrangement you two would prefer and I'll make sure Khandr says that in his instructions....either by editing my original post or by referring to it in one of his later posts. I just wanted to handle this in the manner you and Kath felt most comfortable with....
