Just a quick regime change, no innocents hurt, we are all home by Christmas, what could go wrong?

I can't think of local characters who would agree to this (or really any Ysians besides Kane), and the Machtikians are few in number as it is, I don't think they can afford to spread themselves thin by leaving behind a garrison.

So they're trading their life now for... what? The whims of someone that wants to rule them and thinks they can do better based upon espoused ideals and the claims that the old leadership is allied with the new guys' enemies that wronged them. People will fight tooth and nail against that if there isn't any reason want to join the liberators.
So we'll have to see.

Of course it means war; I am pretty sure you weren't completely unaware of Sasi & Sal's mission for Snad & the Alliance. Why do you think the things set in motion would end there with the capture of the ship.
Because Ariel is obviously a naive, callow youth aided by a lowly (albeit sexy) male schoolteacher. Just because they enjoyed some minor success doesn't mean they stand a chance against Her Glorious Divinity, Snadhya'rune. Their inevitable failure will happen any second...
[edit]I included the schoolteacher part because all fanatics, regardless of religion, politics, sports, movie franchises, etc. are incapable of irony when it involves their obsession.[/edit]

I think the biggest challenge to overcoming Snadhya(once they find out she's alive) in fight now will be that she shouldnt be as cocky as she once was. -That means you're eating an ARMY of rock soldiers & monsters to get to her. I say the most plausible way for these guys to kill her at this point is to have Ariel pretend to be Mel, unless whatever she has in common with Ana in terms of sorcery can see through that, it should work.Moric wrote: She is also perhaps the most capable and versatile mage in the Three Worlds, so, she's a great final boss fight.
Ah I see.Moric wrote:I was basing my observations on the fact that Zala gave Sylphile poisoned weaponry, and my presumption of drow from D&D always using poison, always coloring my analysis.
Actually it sure seems like it was the poison given to Syph that Nir'naya had on her sword -once scratch did indeed kill. As far as that being something known to the Nidraa? Well, we dont really know if Nir'naya is Nidraa or simply another useful idiot but it matters little either way -Zala'ess IS one and they were both part of the Imperium. It makes perfect sense that anything Zala had access to, Snad & Nir'naya had likewise.That said, I always thought that Quain'tana's poisoning from the last battle was Flower poison, not the normal kind.
Not great? O.o Unless Quain was pregnant at the time of the duel, the amount & depth of damage Sarv wouldve had to do to get to her womb with that type of weapon means that who ever her doctor was, they were a fooking miracle worker simply because she lived. That she was full of all sorts of adhesions and/or missing pieces in order to pull that off is par for the course. Other than the Jaal, I dont think these guys have medicine at the molecular or even cellular level perfected since they pretty much all have nasty scars.I suppose that the healers were just not great, and by the time she figured out there was a problem with making babies, her body had set pretty much beyond standard healing.
