My thoughts exactly. And on the subject of mind reading it would fit Dorian's slippery character that cant be read. -
He definitely gave out the information after exiting lying to himself that he will not sell it. Or it could be a state of mind where his thoughts are difficult to read. If i say yes Dorian will probably be an overpowered plot device. If i say no then I'd be probably killing him off. What if orient developed some sort of one use drug that counteracts this?
-
Is Oryx omniscient? Otherwise it's passable that he simply fooled the god thingy and simply doesn't mention it.
-
Yea well if there are any plot holes like this I have a few well positioned greedy people who would gladly give info for profit.
-
There is a way to rationalize it. Who's the one person who isn't directly affiliated with the empire and was present at the meeting?

The second deuce looked into Ol' Yella's eyes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aw3fN3OPk3A

Deuce: Uncertain of how exactly to respond to this random praise he scratched the back of his head then took a look at the female who scolded Rufus. He gave a faint smile bot quickly reverted to the confused look he had earlier. Just now the he gathered Rufus thought he was acting and something about a play? Ignoring a good part of it (and keeping the reality of the panic attack silent). 'The doctor is a cook? Talk about multitasking... And no eye contact?' He entered the room where Ol' Yella was and almost immediately disobeyed the piece of advice given to him by Rufus. Quickly afterwards he diverted his gaze at the fish whilst occasionally finding himself giving a curious gaze upwards. This was actually the first time he had seen a Dwarf since the majority of work he did for orient was related to the area he just departed so naturally he wanted a look. The only other mention of Dwarfs was the one time he ventured into the R&D office in Goldovia some two years ago and heard Jonathan talking about the anatomy and something about dissection. "H-Hello ... Sir Yella was it?" Deuce finally managed to speak in a somewhat shaken tone. Normally he'd just be taking down notes of someone else saying this and so he imitated the only person he knew to have good relations with just about everyone he spoke with: Dorian. As that came to mind he wondered how the vice leader was doing in his venture to Langerdon. "The wound isn't very deep perhaps a bandage would do it?" He said next quickly touching the small cut he received. It wasn't anything to gawp at but it was the first time in a long time he had any sort of injury (save his knees from time to time). He knew hemophobia was a thing but never did it occur to him until now how common blood was in Jonathans line of work and Arians stories. "I don't think I'll be staying to long so food is unnecessary. The others should be waiting for me around where you teleported us away." He said more or less in self comfort.

If you'd like i could fill in some large scale battle details.

Marcus gazed with wide eyes at everything happening. It looked so flashy to him he said internally 'Wow'. Shaun on the other hand was so annoyed with a few things he had it. Finally he hesitantly wandered towards the back and found a quarterstaff when he felt a hand tuch his back. A mental note said 'CRAP' But when the guy said. "Hey there buddy. You wanna try me?" He was a tall guy carrying two maces and seemed to be on steroids since birth. The second he sized him up however he smirked. "Sure." He replied keeping a wimp-like posture. He saw him fight earlier He used an overly simplistic style of bashing and pushing his opponent to where they couldn't move. They got up and as soon as both nodded the larger one flew across the courtyard within the first punch. Before the victory could be savored he figured out someone will probably notice a guy the size of an elephant fly across the training grounds. As that happened he felt a few gazes directed at him. Luckily he still wasn't found out. Marcus could barely contain his laughter up on the roof. He had to hold both hands in front of his mouth so as not to let anyone hear him. As he did so the best thing he could think of was keeping an eye downwards and hope the little outburst would go unnoticed.

Deuce: with Rufus and crew He calmed down but felt breakfast rushing upwards. To this end he placed both hands in front of his mouth and began breathing through his nose slowly. After that was done to an extent where he could breathe normally so he could speak in a quiet and gibberish voice he said:"I'm not scared. I'm not scared ... Phew ..." More breathing was necessary before he could talk normally."Right ... Um ... Hi. It's a long story ... Uh ... My name is Deuce as was mentioned before. And I'm not a child. Mind you I have a second degree of engineering." He continued with the last part being said quietly. At that point he finally realized one thing was missing. His back tooth was not there. Seems like Garret's obsession with magic immunity came as big minus. He couldn't call again but on the bright side everyone was going to stay around Kirle or at least as he heard."T-Thank you for the help down there." He bowed at Rufus not really sure what to say. He was on a pirate vessel and if he was seen there problems would occur. He thought for a moment then remembered the bounty part. He wasn't sure if it's a good idea to tell them that he didn't exist in any official records. He decided not to following up the statement only with a meek smile. Right now he needed Dorian, Jonathan, Grim Anyone to tell him what to do. Right now the pirates seem to be normal people but is that really? He couldn't decide whether they were the brigands that Arian fights in his many exploits that the other members label as bad. His eyes kept going left to right scanning the place if anyone had a blade pointed at him. Remembering this he ran his hand along his neck and found the sword wound from earlier was just a scratch and the bleeding had already stopped. A slight sigh of relief made it's way out of his throat. Nalia, Grim, Jonathan: outside Kirle "Deuce!" Shouted Grim as he saw the situation but was quickly snapped back to reality when dealing with Nalia. Several more shots were fired and golems taken out.As it happened Jonathan suddenly appeared behind the rampaging berserk girl and stuck a acupuncture needle into her neck causing the summons to immediately retake the form of stone. As that was done he raised a thumbs up signaling the job was done."Damn it all. We lost a man. What do you think? Will we be able to cover up everything?" In response the other merchant shrugged his shoulders and gave a sign around his head that meant cutting their losses and getting out of there before more events can occur."You're joking ... It's Deuce you know ... Dorian's minion, shy kid that doesn't know the world." he clearly tried to put in some emotions but due to the nature of his resurrection he couldn't. The reply he received was something that went on the lines of "that's exactly why we should assume he's dead." The undead leader then picked up Nalia. "We need to get to Langerdon. Dorian probably already had something done to remedy whats happened." again spoke the leader before walking away.

Eh I don't have a list.

The vastness of a character roster is something that can be seen a s adouble edged sword. On one hand it allows more people to find characters that are easy to relate to and therefor get immersed in the story on the other hand that leaves less opportunities for each to develop as the are lost in the vastness of gigantc walls of text. I for one see that in this case (with some not posting much or not being mentioned much) that it's sadly the latter at the moment. Not that we need any more deaths all we would really need at this point is for those who haven't been really been active as much get some "screen time".
-
fullmetal alchemist has about that many characters that get a good amount of screen time and you also don't feel like there's that many

"Ok this'll be a pain." Said Shaun who was looking down at the training area. It was actually quite funny in his opinion since some of the people sparring were using predetermined moves and responses. He couldn't help but roll his eyes at this and think 'it's fighting not dancing'. "Cmon big bro you could go down there and show all those guys the back end of your boot." Marcus commented giving a slight push that ended up disrupting balance a little. "You want us to get caught?" "You want to get caught without an excuse like: We really wanted to see everything?!" Was the swift reply he received. The two raised fists. "Rock paper scissors." Both said simultaneously and revealed the result. Shaun had paper whilst Marcus had scissors. "You've got to be kidding me ..." He said his voice lowering whilst his younger sibling smirked and tossed the rope. "Go on two just arrived so late students are common. During class find a way to sneak out and find the library. I'll wait for you here. Say you're new and got lost and above all say you're from uh .... Make up a noble family and say they sent you with a delay." Shaun then tied the rope to a statue in the facade and quickly lowered himself down whilst Marcus giggled at what he had just done. He wasn't sure who to worry about: the students or his brother. The elder made his descent just fast enough nobody would notice and quietly crept around making it look like he just arrived. A gulp was all it took before he made his way through the crowd carefully avoiding the instructor.

Dragon fable reference.

He nodded on the medication comment and the medical part of the conversation then heard food mentioned. "Breakfast?" He asked feeling a growl in his stomach. Everyone then rushed down to grab something to eat and admittedly it was a nice change from the standard routine from before. In truth his biorhythm was slightly off due to the inconsistent visits and meals. He followed the others to where the food was served in a slow manner. While some already had their hands full he was still debating whether he wanted a standard dose but something piqued his interest. Krys seemed to be exhibiting a somewhat apparent change in attitude. His eyes scanned her from top to bottom in seconds and physiologically she seemed healthy enough her sudden shift was a bit different. 'I guess I'll talk to her later.' He thought to himself seeing as tho she wasn't in the mood for human communication. He grabbed some toast butter and a glass of water and sat down at the most isolated point the could see. From there he looked at the others behavior so he would know what he's dealing with. He sat arms folded before his mouth for a moment then began eating in a controlled manner.

Messed up my post a little. Fixed now doe.

Deuce, Grim, Jonathan and Nalia: Deuce stood still completely frozen by fear as the cutlass cut through his skin. The supposed hostage situation may have been his idea but the second it became too real for his liking time stopped for him. His breathing became faster and he was shaking. “DEUCE!” shouted his sister. The scream would remind most of a bloodthirsty beast. Her course changed from Keyes to Rufus. It seemed as if she would run them both over if not stopped. Luckily two shots came out of nowhere, each bearing tremendous force, and made Osor scatter in the wind as even the earthen behemoth could not stand with two holes through his torso. The bullets came from none other than Grim. He arrived just in the nick of time glaring down both Nalia and Rufus In random intervals. During this silence the golemlike minions the now berserk sister controlled changed their line of advance to Grim. Jonathan made some hand signs gesturing she drank something then grabbing something and concluded by running his finger in a circle around his neck. His boss gave a puzzled expression while shooting down some of the golems that kept closing in. “Basically … a smoke screen?” the redheaded zombie said out loud making sure Nalia heard him. This made her step back. Not a second later the undead boss kept firing several rounds. Deuce still frozen from the little mishap earlier could only shout:“RUN!” stepping back from the blade closer to Rufus whilst still breathing at the rate of a machine gun.

(I'm fine with the increased pace) Shaun kept walking along until he couldnt hold anymore on regular terms and he was also afraid of what may happen if he used physiomancy. "I'm pulling you up!" "Why? I think we can find it." "Do you want broken limbs?" With that he pulled the younger brother up. "I think someone noticed us." commented Marcus who was disappointed his sightseeing trip was over. "Will he react?" "I don't think so. But maybe we should get inside and see if we can find a way there." He sat down and held up his head with his left arm. This implied he was thinking and not in a unproductive manner. "How do you expect to get inside without getting noticed?" "Every academy has a drill area or something ... I think i saw there was a clear area somewhere so we should be fine from there." He shrugged in reply. Shaun was still worried what would happen with the witness but his little brother was right just hanging around wont do much good.

no clue i'm waiting for someone to post

Dorian: Langerdon "Thank you for your council. Should financial matters ever be a burden please contact Orient trading. I will send a representative later on to give the rest of the tax and trade system notes records etc." He took a few steps back and bowed then left. 'If all goes according to plan then my little stunt back there may earn me a position of political power.' He thought to himself calculating the odds he had at fortune and power. With a brief chuckle he said out loud: "Which minion will I send?"

Actually now that i think about it Grim is undead ... That might lead to some interesting situations.

Deuce "Aye cap'n ..." He mocked a little knowing if everything gets bad he'd make it out fine. His voice trailed off thinking of solutions. "It's a bit of a predicament ... Three people can calm her down. One makes her go into a frenzy and takes all the hits, one does some fancy acupuncture and the last one talks her down." He said thinking out loud then looking at Osor and back at Ruffus. 'This is stupid ... really stupid ... But when dealing with a berserk sister it might work. Dorian did it once ...' He thought to himself about the idea he just got. "Ok ... This will sound idiotic... Can you fake taking me hostage? That'll at least stop her." He said face-palming then rubbing his forehead with his palm. It proved effective before but that was "mister I am immortal". On the other hand he quickly wondered where Jonathan and Grimm were. Aside from waging a small war with her the most effective way to deal would be negotiation where she'd be forced to at least halt.

It was sarcasm.

Yuri is uncharted?
