This all sounds reasonable, except that so far, we don't have any clear picture of who the real Oshima is. About the only things that are clear is that he isn't Galina (she's completely detached from Oshima and the conspiracy, indeed is theoretically one of the "good guys"), and he isn't any of the roadkill that has accumulated to this point. Let it be said that the move toward the Temple of the Divine Dwarf is intended as a step in that direction ... and if it proceeds the way I intend, an interesting surprise is coming. Just be patient a little longer.Jack Rothwell wrote:OOC Alright, timeout. If we're gonna decide on a direction to go with the story i've got an idea; since all the characters are trying to locate the real Oshima in one way or another why not set-up a meeting with him? The original way i'd planned Martin (Leo, in case it isn't glaringly obvious) to meet the group was with them interupting a meeting he was having with Oshima to discuss buying some property in Tsuiraku Town (there's a huge bloody backstory being written in fan-fiction which gives him the means and the motivation to do that *plug*). If the guys pool the info they've gathered as individuals it should present some way of achieving that, if nothing else occurs Martin could always use his 'creditials' to get them in, or there's always the Gewehr approach, or use him for misdirection AND take the Gewehr approach?
After that... obtain some valuable info from Oshima then deal with the shack once and for all?/OOC
Incidentally, anyone who hasn't read the backstory that Jack has been setting up in the fanfic is encouraged to do so. It's good stuff.
