go to the OOC Plotting Post or IC Event Log

---

This post is for coordination to prevent the IC Event Log from being overrun by OOC mod and player communications. Forms and instructions are available in this post.

Use this post to:

◎ Coordinate event plots with the mods
◎ Request a mod dice roll
◎ Submit noticeable actions
◎ Write rapid IC exchanges
◎ Investigate a plot point or track ongoing investigations

If you have any questions, see the Questions thread on the OOC Plotting Post.

Available Forms

For details on each form, see the sections below.
Be sure to reply under your assigned category if applicable.

Mod Communications

If you have an idea related to the event plot, communicate and coordinate with us here. This includes NPC meetings, requesting resources, destroying the environment, or anything else that may require mod permission. If we can't accommodate a request for any reason, we'll do our best to offer an alternative!

Contact Us

<b>Player Name:</b> <b>Character Name:</b> <b>Request:</b> (Describe what you'd like to do)

Randomization Request

Request a mod dice roll at any time for outcomes and consequences. Some actions require a dice roll to proceed, such as attacking an acolyte NPC or attempting to break anything major in the environment (chains, doors, walls). If you aren't sure, you can check with us.

Request here

<b>Player Name:</b> <b>Character Name:</b> <b>Action:</b> (Describe what your character is attempting to do and how) <b>Thread:</b> <a href="urlhere">Thread</a> (Link to the thread where this is taking place) <b>Notes:</b> (Anything else)

Notable Actions

Submit notable actions that are likely to gain attention from other players, such as fights or disturbances.

Submit a notable action

<b>Player Name:</b> <b>Character Name:</b> <b>When:</b> (Approximately when is this incident taking place?) <b>Where:</b> (Where is this incident taking place?) <b>What:</b> (Describe the incident) <b>Link:</b> <a href="urlhere">Thread</a> (If applicable. Actions can be submitted without a thread if they're minor, such as if your character snores loudly every night.)

IC Exchanges

Use this option for interactions you'd like to play out, but setting up a standard IC thread would be impracticable. For instance, if your character wants to speak to several people about an event they witnessed together, you might want to do an IC exchange.

Treat this like an informal IC network thread done in person, where character reactions, snippets of dialogue, and other details can be quickly played out and concluded in-game without committing to a full log thread. Exchanges are game canon and can count towards Activity Check under the category of a Network thread.

Start an IC exchange

Using the provided form is optional. Begin a thread freeform if you prefer.

<b>Where & when:</b> (Where and when is this exchange taking place?) <b>Purpose:</b> (What's the reason for this exchange?) <b>THREAD START</b> (Write the scenario, your character's actions, and any dialogue as usual)

Investigations

Several investigation paths are available for characters to interact with. Each assignment group will have their own set of investigation paths. You can investigate something as many times as you want, as long as there's a reasonable explanation for your character making their second attempt. Interacting with investigations might carry IC consequences. We'll try to telegraph when characters are at high risk of triggering something major. To investigate, fill out the form, then comment under the item you're investigating.

Interact with an Investigation

If multiple characters are taking action, include their actions.) <b>Thread:</b> <a href="urlhere">Thread</a> (Link to a top level or any other relevant threads. This is so we can review what the characters involved have been doing to best flavor the investigation outcome for you!) <b>Notes:</b> (Anything else)

CREVICES / TUNNELS

[abraxasmods]

Player Name: Noa
Character Name: Geralt
Other characters involved: Urianger

Action: They're poking into one of the tunnel crevices! It has shroomies. Geralt just has his bare hands at the moment, and a couple of sputtering signs, but he'll dig and pull at anything he can that looks worth it.
Thread: Thread
Notes: Happy to get them in a bit of trouble.

[abraxasmods]

The tunnel isn't long, but it is narrow. If they dig through into the squishy mushrooms and fungi, they'll discover a sharp crystal hidden underneath that can be broken off with enough effort. They may find that the secretions from the fungi will cause some mild skin irritation. The mushrooms, however, are edible if they're capable of recognizing common mushrooms, but they'll need to use their limited water to wash off the same sticky secretions that's touched the mushrooms.

[gynvael]

Question! Does the crystal have anything unique about it or is it just a plain crystal? Is it sturdy enough to be a knife for stabbing flesh? I figure it'll shatter if it hits anything hard.

[abraxasmods]

The crystal has a glow to it, though it appears to be a natural aspect of the crystal than any unusual magic. While it is sharp enough to pierce flesh, that is correct it will shatter if smashed. However, it can be dropped from a short height.

[philancer]

Player Name: Rynn
Character Name: Sylvain
Other characters involved: Henry Creel

Action: Sylvain and Henry are scavenging for resources and things to be turned into weapons (Steve sent Sylvain out here for potential weapons and the buddy system seemed like a good idea). Currently they're going to be investigating one of the tunnels, do they find anything interesting/useful? Also left the description of where they are, currently, open-ended until there's a little context to go off of.
Thread: here!
Notes: happy to roll with anything crazy you throw their way

[abraxasmods]

If they dig deep enough through some fungal growths, they'll discover the remnants of a skeletal corpse. It contains a small pouch in which an old glass jar of healing ointment remains. The container is labeled with a faded etching.

Unfortunately, there's no way to confirm how effective the ointment is, so they will have to risk it and test it on themselves. While no longer as potent as it once was and somewhat foul-smelling, it will help soothe and heal surface injuries.

Player Name: Lena
Character Name: Ciri
Other characters involved: Castiel

Action: Castiel and Ciri are exploring the tunnels in week 2. We were thinking if they encounter a really narrow space, Castiel may be able to call on a burst of strength to widen the gap enough for Ciri to slide through. Another idea is Ciri attempting to climb, if the crevices in the walls go higher. Castiel can give her a boost as needed.
Thread: Thread
Notes: Ciri's got her little pocket knife for wedging into cracks and trying to pry out things from the wall, if that is at all relevant.

[abraxasmods]

Regardless of her approach, Ciri will find a small metal container. It's dented, but opening it will reveal a highly flammable powder. They may want to save it for the right moment.

If she chooses to look into a narrow space using Castiel's burst of strength, the disturbance will cause a large rock up top to fall down. They will need to be quick to avoid it.

If she chooses to climb higher, one of the tendrils from the Bone Serpent will reach down and try to grab her. With Castiel's help, she'll be able to escape.

Player Name: Whit
Character Name: Aloy
Other characters involved: Steve Rogers

Action: The thread has just started, but Aloy and Steve will be poking around into a crevice that Aloy can bodily enter. Without magic, the two of them plan to brute force this--squeeze in as far as she can go and perhaps see if there are any soft places she could clear out with makeshift tools, or Steve's strength.
Thread: here!

[abraxasnpcs2]

Should she enter one of the crevices partway, she'll find hard packed dirt and stone rubble that can be scraped away to reveal another portion of the cave. She should be careful not to cause any part of this tunnel system to collapse.

In return, they'll find a fairly sturdy length of rope attached to a very old skeleton corpse. It appears someone else attempted to explore this tunnel once upon a time.

Player Name: Lena
Character Name: Ciri
Other characters involved: Geralt, kinda

Action: After arguing with Geralt, and during a burst of unreliable magical ability while she's suffering from post-ritual symptoms, Ciri attempts to portal herself out of the pit. According to the info given here, I'd like her to wind up in some narrow tunnel and need help out. I'm hoping this counts as "exploring the crevices/tunnels" even if it's in a stupid accidental way. Geralt will have to help her out.
Thread: If approved, it'll be part of this thread
Notes: Chronologically, this would be on the third day of week 2.

[abraxasmods]

Ciri can accidentally teleport into a narrow tunnel. It'll be tight but not impossible for her to exit with assistance.

She'll be trapped with a decomposing corpse who was not so lucky. The body will have a rusty but serviceable eating pick. Although not designed as a weapon, it certainly holds potential.
