Or they're in an area actually controlled by Champoor, in which case I have no idea why they're there unless it's not their destination.

So they're either in Prasad (Dragon-Blooded controlled, follows and altered Immaculate Philosophy) and the Legion might be coming mostly to try to strike a balance between what Prasad does and the actual Immaculate Philosophy with the Exalts there being the ones that Prasad would recognize as being important with a larger or better equipped force potentially being seen as a full invading army (Prasad is BIG, after all). I mean an exigent of cuisine and cooking may not sound dangerous, but then you get the horror of being tenderized like tough chunk of beef. * Not that the PCs may want to pick a fight with some of these guys if they can help it. While it pains me to miss the conference the safety of the world comes first. "Oh I am so sorry I won't be able to attend the conference today there's a behemoth and a group of anathema causing trouble. Some sort of horrible conference they're all duty bound to attend, but no one actually wants to so the PCs have provided them a conventent out. You've mentioned a Behemoth could you write off some of them as having already been in the area to deal with that? A few more as having been traveling somewhere else on a different mission and getting rerouted to really make a show of force? The PCs have unfortunately picked the worst time and they were all heading to some major assembly thing. This would be able to write off a percentage of the exalted forces, though I'm not sure how large of one. These exigents could then be justified as having to be deployed due to the fact that it's this massive force being deployed and no one wants a repeat of that incident with The Bull in a new direction. Well they don't all need to be combat speced and DBs do recognize Exigents as allies on a case by case basis, so some parts can be rounded out by these exalts being officers who occupy more of a support role due to their powers*. In the world of 3e, what would be worth risking the lives of 120-ish exalts, but not worth sending a larger force, or a better equipped Imperial legion, into such a remote and hostile part of creation? A lot of regional troops have been press-ganged into service as the legion headed south, so it's a real 'canon fodder' army, but there are 120 exalted - a decent number of whom I plan to be Immaculate Monks. In short, where my long terms notes simply said "unexpected imperial military presence", in the heat of the moment that turned into nearly a full complement of the Vermillion Legion with 120 exalted officers being a day's flight (so a weeks' jungle trek) away from the western shore of the dreaming sea, several day's sail south of Champoor.

The plot was based on the cyclical rising of a behemoth and it was going fairly well, until the PCs took a bit of an unexpected turn and forced me to improvise something that I had planned for the game a fair way down the track, but hadn't fleshed out in detail just yet.Īnd as I'd had a few drinks, I got a little grandiose in my improvisations, dug a bit of a hole for myself, and now I have to figure out how to justify it over the next couple of session. So I was running a 3e game on the weekend that is set in the Dreaming Sea.
