EVENT #12: INVOCATION - COORDINATION POST (PART 1)

Event #12 - COORDINATION (1)

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

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

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

Submit a notable action

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.

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.

Player Name: Jen
Character Name: vecnussy Henry Creel
Other characters involved: Steve (Rogers), Claude, Sylvain, Louis

Action: Continuing from my OOC inquiry located here, Henry has gathered up a group of fellow Summoned who will help him investigate and move the boulder. A few things worthy of note:

  • They are all affected by the negative ailments from the ritual. This might be a hindrance in regards to physical strength, but it might help them discern anything “off” in regards to an illusion, too.
  • Except Henry, everyone will work to push/move the boulder out of the way. This group has a fair amount of strength between them (again, except for Henry lol) so here’s hoping that they can get it to budge.
  • Henry will try to keep his psychic senses attuned to anything strange or helpful he can pick up during this process.
  • Generally, though, these characters are also observant. Claude himself is a keen tactician, so they’re covered on the problem-solving front. Louis is able to see in the dark, in case there is something hidden away they wouldn’t notice otherwise.
  • If the “hivemind” might give them any clues, Sylvain is able to pick up its emotions when their abilities are deciding to work!
  • Louis is currently borrowing Castiel's anti-monster shroud, which he will have in his possession for this thread. (As detailed here.)


  • Thread: Starter!

    Thank you for this!

    Regarding the boulder itself, the group is not against using brute strength to push it along the ground if they need to. Another option is bring back the vines that Henry and Sylvain noticed in a tunnel during one of their investigations to pull it out and away, if that’s easier. We were wondering if they’d also be able to use these vines to rig a sort of makeshift “netting” above the boulder to keep the rocks above from falling?

    We would also like for them to encounter the Bone Serpent because we’re mean. :’) Henry and Louis would act as support; Henry would try to disorient it the creature mentally while Louis could use his strength/speed as a distraction if needed, with the help of Castiel’s monster shroud. The rest of the group would fight it head-on. Steve would rely on brute strength to rip a leg or two off (he is temporarily no longer suffering from paranoia, if this helps), Sylvain would use fire-based magic, and Claude’s would use wind magic to “cut” through it.

    Also, how many legs would they need to remove in order to disable it or make it retreat?

    Wonderful, thank you very much!! Looking forward to playing out the fight. We will loop back around to y'all if we have any further questions or if the thread progresses more with regards to creating the netting.

    Player Name: Whit
    Character Name: Aloy
    Other characters involved: Ciri

    Action: Aloy and Ciri, having seen the anomaly in the wall of the cavern, are trying to investigate it. They’ll mostly be tackling it with brute strength, but Ciri also has her glow ring which she will use to get a closer look at the crack in the wall. Aloy has also been making a lot of improvised tools that she can potentially use to leverage larger rocks in the area, hoping to gain better access to the anomaly.
    Thread: Here!

    Thanks mods!

    Aloy and Ciri have now brought Gideon into the operation. Working together, they're going to try and pry some of the wall open using improvised tools (maybe there is a human femur sitting around?).

    Gideon is also very strong. She is also suffering post-ritual symptoms, which may include occasional bursts of strength, if that could be conveniently activated for these purposes.
