Adapting to the Situation?

[Asinjin]

"How long do your king live?"

[whitesword]

On our home plane we are immortal.  Here I have no idea.  Hundreds of years at least.

[Malchia]

Rubius whispers to Asinjin, Parker, and Ari "Is there anyway we can check to see if we're being scryed right now?  It seems much too convenient that the Adapters are so forthcoming and seemingly honest.  Even a lack of interest in our world doesn't explain their attitude.  Besides, why would an immortal being risk coming to this world to possibly be killed?  What's the incentive?  My friends, it would seem that we're being successfully baited into their trap.  The more we question them, the longer they succeed in their goal of delaying everything.  We must get the word out as soon as possible to as many allies as possible that Arion, Stasis' chosen king, has been crowned and is fit for duty.  The quicker this information reaches Marius' ears, the better."

[Asinjin]

" I have detect scrye up, but my field negates that.  As long as we speak in the field, it cannot be scryed.  I also believe the castle is proofed."

Looks like we will play some things out based on the email I just sent but in the meantime:

First Everyone advances exactly one level. So if you are 16th add 16k etc.

Second everyone gets a bonus equal to 20- your level x 300. So if you are 13th you get an additional 2100.

If I'm reading this right, a 16th level character would get 16k + 1200 = 17200 but a 13th level character gets 13k + 2100 = 15100.  The math doesn't seem to work for a lower level character to get less than a higher level character.  Am I missing something? 

[Asinjin]

16th level would get 16,000 + 1200

13th level would get 13,000 + 2100

So yes, the lower level gets less.

It's the best I could come up with.

I may tinker with it some more.

First Everyone advances exactly one level.

Mind = officailly blown

In light of our inability to get together tonight feel free to continue here.

To reset the situation, assume that Parker and Oliver's pronouncements and the council's response occurs during a break from interrogating the adapters around noon.

[Asinjin]

To the steward, or Oliver, "Who was most likely to be king, if not for Arian's arrival?"

You have not seen Michael.

Oliver says: "There was nothing resembling consensus. At the start Lord Wintersend, the Steward and I took turns making speeches trying to buy you time to get the Gemblade and Arion. It soon became apparent that many of the members were not themselves and we tried to force as many breaks as possible so we could determine who we could trust. The imposters clearly never intended for there to be a decision and would either revisit those we had already discussed or question the heralds' conclusions about bloodlines."

[Asinjin]

"How long could the meeting reasonably have gone?  Could they have kept you here for weeks, months?"

cough cough

"How long could the meeting reasonably have gone?  Could they have kept you here for weeks, months?"

cough cough

"Under normal circumstances a week would have been reasonable but as there is a war going on those not aware of Arion, and not imposters, desired to resolve the matter in two long days. Lords Darpus and Tolist, and the other monarchs are shrewd people and would have realized the magnitude of the deception after another day or so.  What the adapters would have done then I am glad we did not find out."

[Asinjin]

"So we can assume whatever they employers are planning, it is coming soon."

cough

"Are there any holidays, celestial events, or anything else over the next few days in the nation?  Is there anything that couldn't be done without a monarch?  Is anyone due to have a child in the next few days that could alter the calculation?"
