If you enchant an AC effect into an item, does the arcane connection have to be part of the device or part of the enchantment somehow, or can you make a device that can cast AC spells at different targets? My first thought when Fixer mentioned a box was, literally, a box with a little sliding drawer that you placed the AC into, and the device would use that to target the target.
But if the AC is fixed at the time of enchantment, that would also, I would think, also greatly limit their effectiveness.
Quick thing (and this might come up in our own stories). The Milites use a powerful item that involves Arcan Connections. Anyone that joins the Milites gives a fixed AC to the head of the Miles, the then can use an enchanted Horn. It has 2 effects, one that sounds an alarm to everyone that they have an AC for, it also has a very high Penetration. The second effect has no Penetration, but will summon anyone that allows it, who has given an AC to the MIles. Societates pg 13
And the way it is worded the user is in possession of the AC, which, when stopping to think about it makes sense. The user's voice/sight/touch is what is allows one to "sense" the target. The AC allows the the target to be sensed.
I'm going to eliminate chico's and Hitsumei's characters. I haven't decided how, exactly.
Chico hasn't been on since 1/21 and Hitsume since 12/6. Entertaining ideas for where they might've gone, and when they did so.
Could be as simple as they abandon ship after the troubles. Or go off to look into the matter. Fieltarn would probably go on the offensive -- so maybe he dies taking the fight to our opponents, or is just off for extended forays into the fight.
If you want them dead, this assault would be the one where it would be easiest to have that happen -- they were onsite, and died under the rubble or were killed before we even noticed the attack.
Call me tenderhearted, but i don't wish to eliminate characters. I only just now eliminated Iosephus, kinda, sorta, maybe. I eliminated Silviatos much earlier, only because of the total lack of communication from the player precisely as we actually started playing.
Korvin knows she is the start of all of this death and saidnit in the same thread. He said she was the start of the events that has happened. So perhaps less shock and more comfirmation on what happened.
Well, that's a valid point. That being said, who's going to prosecute her? There's obviously a mess in the House of Guernicus, festering who knows how long.
Worse comes to worse, Fiona can always give her an invite to Ex Misc. (I'm actually envisioning a scenario where Guernicus wants her dead, they want her owl dead, they want her sanctum burned to the ground and they want to piss on the ashes. But since what she did wasn't actually a High Crime, they may simply declare her Orbus and hope nobody takes her in so they can have her marched. Of course, they can always try assassins, too.)
