Log:What Do You Call A Reptile Bodiceripper

Page history last edited by Issthok 14 years, 10 months ago
The glories of an Age once lost can be found again - but not with an ignorant populace. The first step in rebuilding is knowledge. The first step to knowledge is the simple ability to learn - and that means the ability to read. The Crystal Fang Smile's very foundations shake, as the people are granted new ways to live.
 
It all begins with words. The libraries of the city are opened, and Issthok himself graces their grand opening. He speaks to the people, praising knowledge and learning - they are not scavengers, he says, nor slaves of usurpers. They are chosen, the only people brave and wise enough to know to aid their forebears. The friends of the Dragon Kings. His words are designed to awaken pride in them - and shame. Shame at their lack of knowledge, pride in their purpose.
 
Having done that, the true work begins, as Issthok empowers the first of his awakened Kings to her new position - Harak, Pterok scholar becomes Harak, Minister of the Word. The Bureau of the Word is formed, and Issthok himself helps to lay down the principles of their operation - the supply of books, the training of teachers. Books grown by his own claws, crystals granted power by his magic. And who knows more of teaching than one whose life is devoted to teaching his race, bringing them back to life?
-= OOC =- Issthok says, "/Epic bureaucracy/, the best kind of bureaucracy."
-= OOC =- Kukla says, "2 dice, very nice. :)"
-= OOC =- Kukla says, "And post that on the wiki somewhere when you Recent History this."
-= OOC =- Issthok nods.
(Judge) Issthok rolls Charisma + Bureaucracy + 5: [ 2 3 4 5 6 7 7 8 8 9 <10> <10> <10> ]
        Resulting in 11 successes.
 
-= OOC =- Issthok says, "God I love my necklace."
-= OOC =- Kukla says, "You convert every talent spent upon this effort to a success."
-= OOC =- Issthok says, "...does that mean it goes up by more than 1?"
-= OOC =- Issthok says, "Can I even do that?"
-= OOC =- Kukla says, "It may!"
-= OOC =- Issthok says, "'cause...I have..."
-= OOC =- Issthok checks.
-= OOC =- Issthok says, "7 talents, all of which are being used for the project."
-= OOC =- Kukla says, "You can accomplish Quality 2 immediately. If you wish, your people can additionally acquire a +1 Quality specialty (Wel Read), with the complication that your artifacts will begin circulating in the general world and Crystal Fang Spire will become a name spoken widely abroad."
-= OOC =- Issthok says, "I am actually entirely cool with that."
-= OOC =- Kukla says, "I assume that the books are largely instructional."
-= OOC =- Issthok says, "The actual purpose is literacy - the books are, I figure, a combination of instructional and old Dragon King novels."
-= OOC =- Kukla says, "Anything dirty in there?"
-= OOC =- Issthok says, "Nothing a human would recognize as such."
-= OOC =- Kukla says, "Because that'll be the first thing to hit the open market."
-= OOC =- Kukla says, "So there's DK romance novels?"
-= OOC =- Issthok says, "Presumably."
-= OOC =- Kukla grins.
-= OOC =- Kukla says, "They'll become a curio among the wealthiest in Nexus."
-= OOC =- Issthok says, "Sweet."
-= OOC =- Kukla says, "Now post this whole log, OOC and all, to the wiki off a summary/link from the Recent History page."
-= OOC =- Issthok says, "And now I have libraries and literate people, although they are not /specialized/ libraries."

-= OOC =- Issthok nods.
