Hello and Happy New Year to everyone here and elsewhere ;-)

Does someone has a feedback of the new HeroQuest II and the new RuneQuest II ?

My money is reluctant to buy clones, but perhaps I'm missing a point.

Hello Loran, and happy new year to you as well!

I must apologise for not starting up the Ignorance game. I'm moving
house, have let my home Internet connection lapse *and* the power

I can indeed! The new RuneQuest II is Mongoose RuneQuest II, so it's
a revision of the MRQ rules and it's second-age based.

Second edition HQ is generic and entirely dedicated to narrative flow
over simulation. I did a review here:

The bath is indeed good, as are the fish. The Seeker is indeed treated
like a demi-god however. The temple servants, under the control of Jin
Wu, seem a little shocked that the rest of the party do not display the
same degree of deference to the dragonewt as they obviously feel is
necessary, but they do not express their thoughts verbally, although one
young person of indeterminate gender takes the opportunity to converse
to Rikku on the side, asking how long he has been honoured to travel
with the Dragon Man and so forth.

For the Seeker himself, he is whether the temple will be allowed to send
some guards with him the border of the Kingdom and how long it will be
until they leave..

And after all these conversations, there is a late night visit from a
certain sapient rubble runner who, after taking Seeker to task for
living in such lordly fashion, tells him of how his former companions
have been placed into involuntary servitude by the lords of the city!

The following morning, Serendipitous Seeker mentions to his hosts the fact that he'd lost some of his servants during the desert trek, and that apparently someone from Lei Tabor "found" them. He would like to get them back.

Jin Wu is very concerned. "Oh! Oh! I remember they day they arrived.
They were brought here by barbarians and taken to the slave markets.
They have been sold to Lord Lei Tse as servants. Whatever shall you do?
How can we help you?"

Jin Wu replies in a fashion very normal among the eastern peoples.

"We would very much like to make such a transaction. We would be most
honoured to assist you in this. We would make it as discreet as
possible, and bring all your, uhh, slaves to you. We would ensure that
our Lord is not embarrassed."

She waits for the Seeker's recognition of the tense she is employing.
And then, perhaps stepping over the line of politeness.

"I often wish we had a more extravagant temple for most honoured guests
such as yourself."

Rotterex freezes for a moment, as if he is engaging in internal
conversation after Azhur's question. 

"Yao Fune's cult is everywhere", he says in a voice all-too scholarly to
be just the rubble runner Azhur has come to know. "He is an ancient
mystic. He claimed that Kralorela should renounce war to become closer
to the Cosmic Dragon. There was much debate when he said this. The
Emporer Godunya called for a circle of learning to test the theory, much
to the frustration of the Archexarch of War. A partial test was decided;
a statue of Sheng Seleris, an ancient enemy, was blessed and thrown
beneath the waters to indicate that no longer would he be propitiated.
The Archexarch of War afterwards ordered several regiments to commit
utuma 
for insufficient discipline."

The rubble runner shook his head. "I will pass your message to Kalen",
and then scampered away.

I can indeed! The new RuneQuest II is Mongoose RuneQuest II, so it's
a revision of the MRQ rules and it's second-age based.

Second edition HQ is generic and entirely dedicated to narrative flow
over simulation. I did a review here:

- "We must contact this cult, decided Azhur. A pacific cult should understand our will to resist?the Kindgom of War and perhaps has?other tools than weapons and armies..."

During the next days he concentrated all his possibilities to achieve this result, either directly and personnaly or by one of the Fellowship's member.

At first Jin Wu looks a little sad and worried, not that a lizard would
necessarily pick up on such subtle human emotional states. But when the
Seeker brings up the matter of the future, her face brightens. The
leaves the room quickly. 

About ten hours later when the Seeker and his friends are thoroughly
refreshed. Jin Wu enthusiastically comes into the room and introduces
you to an serious looking older bearded man in very fine clothes. He
introduces himself in Auld Wyrmish, or at least a reasonable
approximation thereof.

"I am Ran Fushi. I represent the Lord Lei Tse. I have received
information that his recently purchased foreigners were formerly your
servants. This provides most interesting possibilities. We may be
prepared to sell, as you are prepared to buy."

"I have spoken to my Lord. He is currently planning an invasion of an
Iron Fort, but your arrival allows for the possibility of a more
complete and successful exchange, with a minimal loss of bloodshed. It
is our offer that you be allowed to enter the Black Iron Fort with your
current and former slaves. Once inside we would wish to open the
drawbridge at the third hour after midnight, whereupon the forces of Lei
Tabor can enter with minimal opposition."

"After that our gratitude would be as such that you would be able to
have your slaves back."

"We require, of course, that you swear an oath to 
Ouroboros to carry out this task."

"I notice that your tail is almost fully grown. Take your time on this
decision, and seek a balance between impulsiveness and caution. Consult
who you wish on this matter, and seek a balance between leader and
follower. Consider me and my words, and seek a balance between
suspicious and trusting."

"When you have finished your deliberations, send Jin Wu to seek me out".

The Seeker cannot help but feel a little concerned with how much this
human knows about the secrets of dragonkind.

Rotterex makes his way back to Kalen's quarters the following day, and
passes the map to his old friend the Mostal. "King Azhur thought you
might find this useful." Interestingly, Kalen does note some
Mostal-inspired design in the location and shape of the Black Fort...

Later that evening, Azhur, as he struggles through the various military
possibilities for an assault on the Black Fort sighs. There simply isn't
enough soldiers in Lei Tabor to defeat one of the iron forts.

The guards at his door let in a young man of mixed descent bearing a
plate of fruits and meats. "Your dinner, King Azhur", he says with a
very thick accent. His voice drops. "The magus Faust sends his regards

At the village Res Publica bores you to tears with elaborate but well
meaning models of a White Moon peaceful democracy where the invasions
conducted by the Lunars are replaced by missionaries to foreign lands to
teach them the error of violent ways. During the discussion, the white
doves released earlier in the day return! Aalmon is quite amazed;
apparently these White Moon cultists do have some notable magic and are
well connected.

Res Publica coos to them for a while and responds. "King Bryon has made
his peace with the Lunars through his proxy, Praxelite of the Empire of
the Sun. They seek no further aggression, although among some of his
number there are murmurs that they should send warriors to protect the
Orlanthi in Riskland."

"This is a matter of some debate to us, oh leader. Do we seek peace with
chaos? What is your opinion?"

Like many an old soldier Aalmon treats the boring lecture as a perfect 
opportunity to stock up on food, not knowing when he would next have the 
chance.

He listens to the comments and questions of Res Publica while munching 
away and sometime stuffing one of the more durable looking pieces of 
food into his saddlebags. When he senses that the priest is beginning to 
run out of questions he washes down a mouthful with a cup of water then 
finally replies.

"There are many prophesies, too many to count and some you might not 
know of. The Devil is coming for one thing. I know because I am 
prophesied to be there in the last desperate battle and it seems I have 
a part to play there. This is part of what makes the peace, or it is if 
the rebels have travelled to hell to make their peace with the Emperor 
and are by his side waiting for the Devil to fall howling amongst them 
when chaos does its part by turning back on itself. In the meantime 
should you send emissaries to the chaos army? I cannot stay to guide you 
so all I can say is that the part that chaos plays in remaking the world 
into a peaceful one is not like the part that others play, chaos is 
contrary and its role in this may be that it must try to cause horror 
and destruction for the opposite to be created."

"As for the others do not confuse peace with a mere lack of war, any 
more than you would think that light is the same as a mere absence of 
darkness. If the swords are not dripping blood in the South right now 
then that is good time to make peace but it must still be made. That 
truce sounds like the sort of thing Jareena would do but you cannot rely 
on her still being there to answer every hot-head, I think she will have 
moved on by now. In the Redlands the Empire mistook a truce for peace 
for too long and now the price will be paid, it was never anything more 
than the truce of a bitter and defeated foe waiting to re-gather their 
strength and for the time to be right. In the Redlands the task will be 
all the harder because a warriors blood runs hot in the midst of battle. 
If you try to stand between the warring sides both will cut you down for 
your interference, seek out those who might be willing to walk the path 
of peace that lets men accept that others have their place in the world 
without being conquered. Make them your allies before you take any other 
action."

"Unless you have a friendly moon-boat captain nearby I think it is 
almost time for me to try to open the paths across the stars to try to 
rejoin the others of my group. By now they will be either in the city of 
Lei Tabor or close to it, so once more I will have to cross the greater 
part of Genertela. Oh well, I should be used to it by now. I doubt if I 
will  be able to stay in contact, unless you could show me how those 
doves of yours travel so far and so fast."

Well, the people immediately available include Rikku, Serendipitous
Seeker, Isma, Swordsinger, and Dorassa.

Swordsinger is the first to arrive. With the deep, almost sad voice of the
follower of St. Humact, he intones his advice.

You knew there was a danger
But you couldn't resist
The voice of a stranger
The mountains of mist
Because this time

You thought it was true
You thought it was heaven
Gaining the tail of your life
You know it's not true
Oh never trust a stranger with your heart
Oh no, never trust a stranger with your heart

Your world will be in pieces
You'll be losing your pride
And you'll left defeated
And crushed by his lies
Like a tiger you'll hunted and tracked down
Savaged your soul and took over control
And then when you be used all the words you found
You'll left without trace
Not a note or a single goodbye

You thought it was true
You thought it was heaven
Gaining the tail of your life
You know it's not true
Oh never trust a stranger with your heart
Oh no, never trust a stranger with your heart

Indeed, this is the opportunity. Aalmon has plenty of opportunity to stock
up. The food is rustic, but plentiful. Certainly more than you would expect
from a quick look around the village. You suspect that they are providing
beyond - or at least stretching - their means.

"We understand your needs, Far Rider", says Res Publica. "But your guidance
*will* be sought - we can communicate with the lightning doves of peace."

"This a burden which you must bear. The Chaos armies of Dorastor march
towards the Risklands and beyond. The broo rape and infect as they go. The
stubborn Orlanthi prepare to war."

"Yet, a touch of Chaos - just a little - has always been part of our faith.
Your advice on this will be critical to the future of Peloria, and perhaps
beyond."

Alas, the Moonboats are not available to us. They are only for the most
loyal - or I should say myopic - of the Red Goddesses servants. They travel
by red moonbeams!

Res Publica smiles. "Once I was a merchant, and rapid communication was
always a benefit. When I joined the White Moon movement, it was a relatively
simple task to adopt the magic. If you wish to send a message, please tell me
to whom and where to. Lei Tabor? I have never heard of that city."

"And if you wish to learn the magic, I can train you..."

OOC: White Dove Messangers is the name of the spell, part of White Moon
subcult
of Lunar Magic. Uses standard distance modifier to Ability rating. For
each -1
to Ability due to time of travel, +1 can be added to distance.

"Forgive me, I have been riding headlong into unknown danger for so long 
I had forgotten that sometimes there is a better way, a calmer way. If 
you can send a message then please do. If you could send one of your 
magical birds to Jareena of the Jonating, member of the Fellowship of 
Talor, could it bring back a reply?  If so then it is useful magic 
indeed and perhaps I should use the time waiting for a reply learning to 
perform the magic myself. She should be somewhere near Lei Tabor by now 
if things go well with them, which I think is somewhere beyond the 
wastes and near Kralorela. I want her to know that Icthya and I are 
alive and have completed the second of our tasks, then ask where we 
should meet up."

With a sweep of his arm he clears a space on the table and begins to lay 
out the crystal chess set. "Play with me a while and we can discuss the 
other matters." He lays out the chess pieces with himself as black . He 
waits for the game to develop a little, letting his awareness drift into 
the game to see if the magic of the pieces has any insight for him.

"If your prophesy said that I would have all the answers then it was 
mistaken. I have a lot of hints, prophesies and enigmas but very few 
answers to give you. Now maybe as things progress some of those 
prophesies will make more sense but some of them are only going to make 
sense when they need to make sense." He stares at the pieces and the 
patterns that they begin to make, trying to ponder his options as he 
makes his moves.

He had to admit to himself that while the white moonies looked like a 
bunch of idiots it was nice to deal with people who did not give him a 
hard time for being a bastard. In a way it was tempting to take them at 
face value, to be their leader. But then the memory of the ghost of 
Judge Kraken still haunted him, fate was not kind to those members of 
the fellowship who tried to go their own way and defy the prophesies. 
Nor did he really want those messenger birds turning up all the time, he 
had a feeling that one of those birds turning up at just the wrong time 
could easily get him killed. Hard to stay inconspicuous with glowing 
doves coming and going. Fate might have bad things in store for him but 
if he went along with her plans it seemed like she would keep him alive 
for a while longer - maybe long enough to find a way out with his skin 
intact. But then would his hosts really let him go just because he asked 
them to? What had the first man said? That War could only be stopped 
with the help of the holders of the weapons, well perhaps the Fourth 
could be persuaded to help. He smiled, time to see if he could answer 
one prophesy with another.

"My eyes are fixed on the horizon, trying to see our ultimate 
destination. You are not wrong to ask which boulders we should move off 
the path first but I may not be the best one to answer such questions. 
There is another however."

He takes out a remains of the salts and lays the bag on the table next 
to the board.

"There is one who can help and advise. He has already led a successful 
rebellion of the weak against the strong, he has proven his ability to 
overcome violence with wisdom. He is sympathetic to our cause and in 
some ways embodies all that we wish to achieve. What you need to do is 
send a small delegation onto the plateau and seek out the one called the 
Fourth. When you meet him your own prejudices might challenge you, if 
you cannot see beyond the flesh to the shining Septessence within you 
will fail to unite the followers of the Blue Moon with your cause. The 
prophesy that set me on this path said that his help would be vital, as 
with all the prophesies it only makes sense when it needs to."

"The Fourth is the one who knows how to remove obstacles from the road 
better than I do. You will need the salts in this bag to survive the 
journey, without them the plateau is death."

He makes another move before continuing

"We each have our role to play, I appreciate your welcome and 
hospitality but I do not think I can be the sort of leader you speak of. 
I cannot give up on the task that I have sworn to complete any more than 
that pawn could have moved backwards. It is not my destiny and to deny 
my destiny would break the rules of the game...and without the rules the 
game is broken."

He sweeps the pieces off the board

"Breaking the game, those who would break the game for their own ends, 
this is in a sense what we must guard against. That was the sin of the 
God Learners and they were all but wiped out for the arrogance that 
nearly destroyed the world. No, I will play my part like a good little 
pawn. At least I have seen the game that is unfolding, at least I know 
that being a pawn is my choice. Perhaps there is some hope that when the 
game ends we will be among the pieces still on the board. Lets drink to 
that!"

Well, what's it to be Seeker? Swordsinger seeks a message, Jareena seeks a
breakout, Rikku is just horrified that you're being treated like.. well,
like he should instead!

Res Publica plays a surprisingly good game. You imagine he has had some
experience.

"Alas, you must be testing us. It was the Fourth who informed us of your
coming. We have been in communication with him for many years." Res
Publica reaches into his pouch and pours a little salt on the table. "For
the doves", he explains.

Res Publica looks saddened, as if he were about to make some good moves.
But his voice betrays a different concern.

"But Aalmon, you must realise now *is* the time for rules to be broken. By
taking command, you will be more than a pawn - and hopefully, the New Moon
willing, you will lack the arrogance of our current rulers."

"I could take this mantle if you refuse it. But I doubt my own abilities.
You have the experience, far greater than I, and you have the creativity,
far greater than I. Yes, I could try to stop the war in the east, the rise
of the Broo from Dorastor, I could even...", he pauses, "I could even try
to stop the Kingdom of War."

"But I would almost certainly fail. War would grow, Death would come to
many thousands, and Chaos would march and be victorious. You might fail,
but I believe you might just succeed. You are the best chance we have. You
are the best chance *others* have. Don't let them down."

> OOC: Lunar common magic? Aalmon fancies learning that.

Aalmon gives him a quizzical look

"I am already not letting them down and have been doing so for quite a 
while now, although I think some people have expectations that I am not 
going to meet. I am a messenger, not a general to order a rebellion, nor 
a priest nor an administrator.

If the leader you need is one who carries gets the message to where it 
needs to be, whatever that takes, then I cannot help but be your leader. 
That is the path set out for me and I have abandoned any thoughts of 
leaving that path. If I can rejoin my companions then it will be better 
done, if the warring armies get in the way of that then I will just have 
to stop them warring to get through.

The Fourth has laid a burden on me, tell him that in return I lay one on 
him. The rebellion needs a general and the burden he has given me 
forbids me to do so or we would all pay a terrible price. He might want 
to refuse but there is prophesy and fate to answer to and I think him 
too wise to defy them.

You are doing fine work running keeping the faith and keeping those who 
keep the faith. What could be gained if I replaced you, I who knows 
nothing that you know? No, you should continue with these tasks.

I will continue to try to conquer war in my own way. If I have your 
support then I will be grateful for it and it may make all the 
difference. I can lead by example, I can seek out the paths that must be 
followed. These are the things that I can do and if you can accept that 
leadership then I am indeed your leader. Then we shall see what response 
the messengers have and then I will know how to act next."

He smiles wryly

"I might know where my path ultimately leads me but I have no more clue 
what tomorrow will bring than anyone does."
