Fair Point, but I'm purposefully making my Character Guess a page or 2 back, with that little Girlish giggle of yours, I only made it so that Allister knew you were hiding SOMETHING, just not WHAT. But as long as the guesses to what Neria does are reasonable, I.E they can be pieced together with Logic and have independence from the Internal Monologue then that's fine right?
Also, since I my character is also a bit of a manipulator [sub]Just not like Neria[/i] I would also appreciate it if the same thing does not apply to me. So far, nothing's really happened yet, but i also want to manipulate a little bit.
Also, Crayzor. Since you have just shown that you can turn someone into a Tranquil [sub]No my character doesn't know that one yet.[/sub] I trust that I'll have a fighting chance against that if i ever decide to stab you in the bac- I MEAN, if any of that spills on me or something.....yeah.
Also, when is the GM gonna poke us along to the dining table? It seems that we're walking down a Corridor of Infinity or something. Not to be snide or anything. Just curious as to where he went.

Allister had been thinking counter-measures against his Comrades should they turn against him. After all, he survived the Ambush and previous attempts on his life by thinking quickly and being Insanely Prepared. This was one of those moments. The Spirit Magus doesn't like him right now, that much is clear. He had NO idea what the hell she has planning for him. If I was her, I would have tried to kill me by now. In a subtle way of course. But her sheer insistence in not working with me is also a Possible Manipulation point. Able to be used in case of a break-down in brotherhood. He knew that she cared for the Weak and Downtrodden. Like a Prim and Proper Spirit Magus. Still, he had to be on guard if she has a more ruthless streak in her. If she DOES try to fight me......her Compassion would be a Viable weakness. So I have to engage her in an Area with plenty of Villagers, but that the Villagers themselves have no one to protect them. Both for her not to Aim properly and to have a readily suppliable amount of blood. Still, I also have to consider to not enrage her in that fight. If she loses it, then she might berserk at me. Which means my advantage concerning the Villagers is lost. If she brought others to try to take me down.....If it's a Reckless enough fighter, then I can simply maneuver him into killing the innocents. With me not doing anything, The Spirit Magus would leave herself Vulnerable as she raged against her ally. If it's an HONORABLE combatant, then the hostage trick should work as well.
Neria......well. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if she's plotting my unfortunate death right this moment. So let's see......Archon Magus are Normally a mix of both Physical and Magical Power. As such, they have to divide their time to master BOTH arts. So....I know I could possibly overwhelm her in magic, but I can't be sure I could kill her quickly enough for her to stick a blade through me. So I have to position myself near a Village so as to have a ready supply of Blood. Because of her skill in magic and combat, I either have to attack at Extreme Range, Take out her Physical Strength or Magical Strength before hand, or all of the above.Of course, it would be simpler to kill her as soon as she decided to try to kill me, but I doubt the others would allow it. It would be to risky for her to pick the battleground. If she brought allies, then the same would apply. Honorable ones would be incapacitated with the Hostages. Unhonorable ones would be dangerous though. Preferably, I would have her entangle herself in her little webs, leaving her no allies. That way, victory would be assured.
Worst Case Scenario: Both Neria and Ashalle decides to unite their strength and try to kill me. Unhonorable Warriors assisting them. Since the Magus would have decided to ally with her, then that means she is willing to let Villagers die. Which means the Villagers are useful only as Extra Fuel. In that case, I would have probably alienated myself from the others too much at that point......By Myself, I'd be dead. No question about it. However, the proper tools and allies and terrain would even the playing field. They would probably make it so that Ashalle would counter my spells while Neria and her Mercenaries move in for the Kill......Long Range.....High Ground as well.......I would need to visit an Assassin sometime to purchase Traps from him. Damn it, I KNEW I should have learned metal working. Bah, Nonetheless. I need traps in that situation. Wild Animals as well? No, I need the Villagers alive more than I need extra help. The Animals would no doubt slaughter the Villagers. Leaves me Vulnerable.......I would need to strike first. I can't let them get prepared enough to fight me. If they prepare sufficiently, I die. Simple as that......
Allister continued walking down the Stone Corridor. Absorbed in his Plans.
