I am. On mobile though so can't type as fast. I still have the below inquiry;

I feel like Senua would enter as she stalked Prim's group

Though, you might have to contact Ovesa, though he/she has not been active the entire day

When they get on we can get their thoughts. I am willing to go the stalking of Prims group route or another route. They may have an idea to bring to the table of options.

As I'm not entirely sure Senua will survive long it's possible that I will make a character after her or indeed another in order to play a role in the on going plot.

It will depend on how things proceed. For example, if we go the route of Senua stalking Prim's group- as she's not associated with the Horde this activity would have to be either 'learning what's going on' or 'hunting'. If she learns something from observation she may decide to use that knowledge and how would depend on what the knowledge is. If hunting it means being in instant conflict. I'd leave it up to Prim's player if Senua has a tough hide or not, and due to the importance of Prim currently I don't see Prim loosing but rather winning such a confrontation.

In regards to the prospect of Senua speaking first- it's unlikely she would be the one to initiate dialogue with either faction as she's certain that being a serpent makes her 'that treasure hoarding beast to be slain' by either faction due to her mother's perspective. This makes it a real challenge to open dialogue with Senua as it becomes a game of diplomacy where in both parties have to be assured that the other isn't going to strike- and unfortunately out of fear either party may opt to 'flex' it's might to put the other in a more agreeable position.

This challenge is also why I feel a discussion is needed here, as some planning would have to go into such. If, she can't really 'converse' she'd narratively serve only the role of 'obstacle' or 'challenge'- a foe and a rather minor one at that.

True

I'm cool with it. It doesn't even have to be a violent confrontation if you don't want it to be. Or it can be. Your choice

I do prefer to converse in an RP though how we- get her to do so- is a bit tricky at this time.

Looks fine. Looking forward to your post

you've been in a redwall RP before right?

Once, it was a long time ago. Not as long ago as when I last read one of the books (so not as far back as 2013) but still a few years. As I stated with my app I may need some help slipping in. Do you have a recommendation? I've started writing a post and thus can use the advice.

Start off by describing her home or if she is eating something. You then go on with some backstory or flash back.

Yeah, I saw it. It was called the rise of a red dawn?

My current writing in progress has utilized the suggestion of Romextly;



Though, discribing her at home is a valid one- if well- the group came close.... but.... well it creates a bit of a delima as 'starting with stalking' brings her right into the action while 'describing her home establishes the character'....

Though as I don't know how long she'll survive the 'start with stalking' is appealing as it at least gives her some role in the story now as opposed to 'hoping the group gets close to her even though such wouldn't be good for them'.

Maybe they past her home without knowing, and as snakes are territorial, she follows them

Autumn of the Red Dawn I did a search of my history. My character was named 'Mesophilous' though my first character idea was one named 'Twig'.

Romextly wrote:Maybe they past her home without knowing, and as snakes are territorial, she follows them

I can tie that in with what I've written so far. I can replace what I have with her 'watching the horde and then slithering away when the arrows flew' with the more believable 'the trio rushed past her home' scenario.


Can't say I'm entirely confident in what I have so far in regards to Senua recognizing Prim though not by name or personally more 'seen her rushing around' sort of way though that's currently something in this still a work in progress post.

It is good. But how many days is the snake's home from Salamandastron

Romextly wrote:It is good. But how many days is the snake's home from Salamandastron

That is, not something I've decided. I know her kin moved away from the feet of the extinct volcano, and then after a time she was expelled with her siblings by her mother. Given as my original idea involved her observing the Nightwalkers it can be assumed that her home is a distance. Though as that has not been mentioned and we now have her entering around this trio- I'll simply let you inform me of the distance in days as I can not discern such from the map.

The ma is not the best. I'm still trying to look for a good map. I'm logging off. Hope to see your post tomorrow

it is a new day

Maybe things will move forward today and if there are any issues in pacing on the IC such will be brought up. Anything to help this run smoothly.
