More Exalted Scenario Thoughts

So now I am in a spot with the game. Attendance has been a little varied so the players are sort of spread out. So I need to figure out how to get people to and from places now that combat is occurring. Mostly I am concerned that w/out the Dawn caste the Night, Zenith, and Eclipse will get slaughtered. I think I can do this with a couple Spirit charms so shouldn't be a huge issue (bit of a stretch of course but Exalted is one of those games that kinda lives in area doesn't it?).

Anyhow looking back our group has lost two Zeniths and sort of one Twilight so I am attempting to tie those back into the game. One of the Zeniths has been corrupted by a little tome known as the Broken-Winged Crane so she will show up eventually (probably be the final "boss" before summer ends things). The other Zenith is nominally around, I wish I had his character sheet I'd probably use him for stuff. The Twilight's player says he might be able to play come end of May so I am waiting that. Frankly I am a little frustrated with the player as he doesn't even say what is goin' on beyond "stuff". Sheesh, what are you running drugs?

Ok.

So probably adding a new guy and going to offer him the option of being a a)Replacement Twilight B) Equivalent or Slightly Higher Sidereal or C) Equivalent or Slightly Higher Lunar. Tough thing about Sidereals or Lunars is that they have different schticks and are rather weaker in the long term then Solars unless they really focus on their given strengths (MA or DBT respectively) and then only are they better in their given areas.

Plot ideas post-Demons in Chaya: Demon held Realm has invaded the Threshold, what to do about them?
How are the Lunars reacting to a Solar kingdom now flourishing in the midst of the Hundred Kingdoms? More importantly, what do they think about the fact that these Solars seem to have everyone wrapped around their fingers?
The Sidereals (both factions) are fully aware they have no control of this Kingdom. What if they make a move against it?
Lookshy, Nexus, and Great Forks are now asserting themselves more against the Solars by using non-mortal negoiaters (ie folks who have equal or better dice pools to the Eclipse's), what are the consequences?

Really High Level Characters

So in the process of making something beyond an Epic level D&D character. More appropriately a Forgotten Realms character. He's currently at lvl 170 but I've got at least 6 more prestige classes in mind for him and that will push him well past 200. The funny thing is, I don't think he could kill a deity yet even a weak one. This ignores the fact that he is in fact easily over 100 levels stronger then even the highest level god. That divinity is a real plus giving 20 to every roll. Now granted, his attacks are stronger, his saves are higher (only rolling a 1 really puts him in danger, that's unfair btw, because that means he has a 5% chance of failure on any give save regardless of the fact his saves are all based at 80 or higher!), and he has more hit points. We'll see when he gets down. I really wish Bahamut was part of the Faerunian pantheon tho. Tiamat got in, why can't the god of good dragons? Besides there's no god of dragons in Faerun, who's the patron of the good dragons?
