For structural clarity: these quests to get the swords are player driven, I presume we don't need "permission", but can we claim them? Additionally, what type of timeline did you have in mind? I don't want to embark on a two-month quest if you're looking to move fast on a 2-3 week time horizon.
You do not need permission to quest for the swords. The cost of the swords (150gp) will be treated like a normal spoil, meaning longer and better written threads could get two swords at once. I'd expect a month, a month and a half before we get near the five swords being found. If there is a hold up, or something goes wrong, I'm happy to exchange swords for their full GP amount. I don't think that will be necessary howeverOriginally Posted by Storm Veritas
I'll throw Jo's name into the mix here. See if I can find the time to crank something out. That dragon blade looks really great.
Hysteria buddy, question.
Me and Storm are questing for the Goat and the Rat in the same thread.
A) Would there be any reason we couldn't do that?
B) If we submitted it as a no judgment, hypothetically, could I award the swords as spoils or would another judge have to do it?

A. No problem at all doing both at once. The story lines were prompts, so you can make your own one up.
B. Well, I guess you could. That's more a question about who handles what with the judgements. I don't see a problem if it's just a tick and flick and all the other No Judgements before it are done.
You're a legend. Thanks!

Okay. Count me in for this HARD.
Even a well-lit place can hide salvation
A map to a one-man maze that never sees the sun
Where the lost are the heroes
And the thieves are left to drown
Calm and Cold, and how they became Mithril.
Noting here that me and Red have started working on a thread-thing for getting Ox and Monkey, if that's relevant to anyone.

How is everyone tracking? I've been putting the finishing touches on the swords. Without revealing their abilities, here are the names of the full 12.
Long, the Dragon
Shu, the Rat
Yang, the Goat
Hou, the Monkey
Chou, the Ox
She, the Snake
Ma, the Horse
Ji, the Rooster
Gou, the Dog
Zhu, the Pig
Yin, the Tiger
Mao, the Rabbit
The avilible swords are still the same as those on the front post of this thread, but there are a full set of 12. Each weapon has two abilities, one is summoning it's namesake, or part thereof. The second is using a power/attribute of the animal. I plan to reveal these during th big battle, giving you a boost against the horros.
Let me know how you're all going!
