Sure thing! As mentioned before, please try to communicate key findings with the group by ye olde network post within a week or so, and you're welcome to any threading you want to do on the basis of the scenario below.
—
The world's unhappiest camper, the demon Alir posing as politician Maximus Faustus, has been grudgingly making inroads with the Senate, at once trying to further Messalina's campaign and his odds to become the successor of Senate leader Caius Justus. Alir has been privately keeping Messalina in the loop about these matters.
One fine night before the Colosseum tragedy, while joylessly consuming yet another hand-fed frozen heart, a frustrated Alir blurts out that he is tired of this arrangement:
— the diet of tepid, old hearts is uninspiring, less than nutritious and frankly gross
— humans are intrinsically contradictory, and the Senate's daddy issues with Caius Justus are laughable: Alir finds that half of the Senate despises Caius Justus for his absence and stalwart expenditure on growing out the army of the Hand, while simultaneously wanting his approval and being thrilled they now have an elite army
— above all, Alir is worried by Messalina: she appears to him increasingly passive and paranoid, concerned that the Senate, and especially Caius Justus, have cut some kind of agreement with Matthias and the Brotherhood of the Undead. She has tired of waiting, and she now fluctuates between two positions, Alir says:
A. leaving Ephes completely and seeking their fortune elsewhere
B. carrying out a coup against Ephes and stealing the army of the Hand.
Which strategy does Five believe is best? You can try to consult the other members of the Messalina supporter group — or have Five respond on his own. Please respond within 72 hours!
At this point, Messalina's followers haven't individually or collectively engaged for information gathering with their patron — so, as master of strategy, Five can have one of the other Messalina supporters try to get information from her. Your call!
