"Anyone, everyone, and anything. You have given us literally no reason to trust your Plan."

I vote Extraplanar Runic. I want to prepare extraplanar runes this morning.

Okay. How about we get inside the town, if possible, and we march to the Keep while gathering support, but we try to avoid striking the first blow?

I don't think I've ever objected to war if we're attacked first.

If we get access to the town, and if we lead a popular uprising to his keep, then we can offer him safe passage out of town for a renunciation of his wife's claim. It might seem a bit hopeless if half the town is parked outside the keep. Or maybe he's proud and stubborn, thinks aid is coming from outside, and we have to assault. Who knows?

Well, we could do that. At this point, I don't think we know enough to determine the details of the Best Plan^TM.

I'm morbidly curious to find out what adjective will be used for our relationship with him, if he survives this somehow. Antagonistic doesn't seem to cover it all, at that point. The wise thing would be to go to extreme lengths to ensure he doesn't survive, but having an enraged rival with a somewhat tarnished claim on our liege's lands could be interesting down the road...

I, too, am interested. Maybe "Hated"? That's a bit benign and mundane, I guess.

About what to do with the count if he surrenders, why not let the people do whatever they want with him? That way we are not guilty of anything, it was his own people the ones who murdered him anyway...

...Well, that could work...just as long as only Owen is harmed by it...but it seems to be sinking dangerously low, not to mention robbing us of an interesting conflict.
And we might still be blamed for letting Owen die.


I think Gerv and I, at least, agree that there's too much we don't and can't know to delve too deep into our immediate future plans. Shall we instead contemplate what we will do once Owen is off the throne to get Arthur on it, or what we will do under Count Arthur, or something?

Yes, but a siege is the wrong way to go about things.

More of a portmanteau than a pun, then.

its probably mostly moot right now, but how about we camp outside his house with a significant army and tell him to go away?

A siege? Well, it could work, but among other things it has the significant problem that if we surround his house, "tell[ing] him to go away" wouldn't go over well...

(This might fit better in Creative Projects, yeah.)

There's a few things.

Being able to add modifiers to the dice would be really useful, for starters.
Depending on how the dice roller works, adding custom dice might be a good idea--d1,000's for the Metamorphica, for instance.
Depending on how the site itself works, being able to make an account and save custom dice/sets of dice to roll at once/modifiers to dice would be pretty neat. Also depending on the site, the ability to "save" the results like Invisible Castle (and, to my knowledge, no other site) does would be useful.
