Massive writers block. - Relic Drake - 01-18-2012 01:30 AM
I don't know what to write.

Anything I can do to help out? I'm guessing you're talking about the Hollowbrook?

Everything, just been drawing blanks for like the past few days. If you have a suggestion for what to do it would be nice.

Your characters talked about making a vacuum of power if I'm not mistaken. So I'm guessing the objective they have in mind was making an assassination? You said you wanted to take out the head of the local Guild too, once you find out who he is. So to me it sounds like your meeting in the Hollowbrook is try to get some of the Guild to be on your side so you can make your move for power. In that case I think we'd need to hammer out the character you're trying to eliminate and what he's like, then we could talk about how you'd get him out of power and replace him.

Yeah, who would be the head of the thieves guild? He's going to get a rude awakening.

Well, I wouldn't mind helping you design him. I don't have any real ideas at the moment, and I don't want this plotline to be all my deal. It's mostly yours, after all. It would be a nice change of pace to not be the one in charge of the story this time
To be honest, I never really thought of the Thieves Guild as an organization with one head guy. It's more like a loose association of thieves and general criminal-types that band together to help each other out on random things, be they good or bad. However, local branches of the Guild (like the one in Soleanna) would probably have heads. So it's like you'd get control of the Soleanna branch, but the other branches would still be doing their own thing elsewhere in the RP.
I tend to think of the Guild as offering a middle ground between Soleanna (good) and Robotnik (evil). They can swing good or bad depending on circumstances. As an example, this would be important for my character Giichi. Giichi mostly works out of Soleanna, so he will remember you from that earlier ploltline. I imagine he'd probably flee Soleanna and run to a different branch once he sees you're in charge. He'd definitely want to avoid a revenge kill and he'd want to find a branch more aligned with his interests.

Okay, that sounds good.
I was thinking we could go back to the HQ of the Soleanna and take over, through either verbal or physical persuasion.

No doubt I think it would be physical. Even with Relic's imposing figure I don't think the head of the Soleanna branch would simply relinquish his power because you tell him to.
Anyway, it would be your turn to post now in Hollowbrook. Just say up front what you want to do to your team, and then offer the others in the room the chance to work with her or not .
