And even more D&D brainstorming in 15 minutes

I have another session coming up on Friday! I don't think my party reads my blog. If you do--STOP IT!

So pretty much I have to think about ways that they may go after finding out that they're secretly royals and the queen is seeking them out.

  • Go to the queen
    • She is looking for them and the scholar knows who they are so this would make sense
    • They can then submit to trials to see if they are worthy of being her successor
    • They will be kept in lavish settings
    • There will be court intrigue for them to maneuver 
      • This would mean I need to come up with the court
  • Go to the queen's brother
    • The queen did go to extreme measures so perhaps they don't trust her
    • They can join the plot to kill the queen
      • Means that they need to build trust with him first
    • They can be used to try and become the queen's successor so the brother can have power
    • Court intrigue for them to maneuver
      • This would mean I need to come up with the court
  • Find other royals (can be part of any other plan)
    • Four others
      • 1 in Riocht, brought to queen, ambitious, female
      • 1 in Tuaithe, being brought to queen, unsure, wants to the lavish life but not responsibility, they
      • 1 in Tir, being brought to brother, hates the queen for what she did, male
      • 1 in Bhardas, being brought to queen, unsure, secretive, they
      • 5 others who didn't want to be brought to the queen
  • Decide to raise their own reputation before making a move
    • They may want to claim the throne but have their own support first
    • Chances for lots of side campaigns to save small communities
    • They could go to where Poem is a folk hero already
  • Return to Baile (can be part of any other plan)
    • They did take horses so perhaps they want to return them
    • Maybe they want to check to see if the town woke up for sure
    • Maybe they want to chat with Durogark again
  • Ask the scholar to come with them (this can be a part of any other plan)
    • Knowledgeable, good guide, connections
    • Resistant to leave because this is where the queen stationed her and she's loyal
      • Need high persuasion to get her to leave her post
      • A good argument could also get her to leave
  • Completely ignore it
    • I hope they don't take this option
    • Then they have to decide what they want to do and the world becomes even wider
    • Maybe they'll leave Riocht and I have to come up with another world
      • They could then claim to represent the royal family

I've officially begun my second cycle. On Wednesday, I had a virtual appointment, yesterday I had my baseline ultrasound, and today I began injections again. On Wednesday, I expressed my concern about my weight and was told not to fret about it for this cycle but that I should work on it for my health. I got told some vague things about measuring my food by volume and weight and that being the key the weight loss (idk it sounded weird to me). But other than that my appointment went well and I really liked the PA I met with. Overall, she was supportive and encouraging me to advocate for myself. Yesterday, I had to get up earlier than normal (6am) so I could make it to my ultrasound at 7am (I have asked for future ultrasounds to be at 8am). I got weighed (ugh), had my blood drawn, and t...

Starting my parental journey, part 8

You can  read part 1 here ,  read part 2 here ,  read part 3 here ,  read part 4 here ,  read part 5 here , read part 6 here , and read part 7 here . I have begun birth control again. Now, that may sound like I'm bailing out of my fertility journey, but it's actually the opposite. In order to get everything ready for the egg retrieval, I need to hop on birth control for a little bit and then hop off. It feels a bit odd to be taking oral birth control, have a birth control arm implant, and be getting ready for an egg retrieval--but that's how it goes (for me at least--getting to keep the arm implant is rare or so I'm told). People have asked me how I'm feeling about this round of egg retrieval and honestly, I haven't thought about it much yet. I am focused on a big stressful event for work and then C2E2 (Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo--basically, Chicago's Comic-Con) which I attend every year. Because of these two events (one stressful, one fun), I del...
