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

<b>Player Name:</b> <b>Character Name:</b> <b>Other characters involved:</b> <b>Action:</b> (Describe what your character is attempting to do and how. 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)

Player Name: Jay
Character Name: Kyle

Request: A couple of things partially related to current plot engagements, if that's okay!

1) If the King is making himself seen, Kyle is going to try to observe who he seems to keep close (major NPCs and minor). If he can actually get close to King or anyone discussing the King, he'd be trying to listen for snippets of conversation, anything to tell him more of the king's opinions on current events and especially his wife. He will attempt to use his Gray Space abilities to do this, but because the castle is warded to hell and he can't hear anything while observing in the Gray Space I imagine this won't work so good. I'm down for him getting caught being sneaky this time if there's a dice roll.

2) He's also going to try to listen for any gossip about the Rhett siblings, especially Anastasia and Hayle.

3) With his missing persons report he would've made it obvious that he's concerned and would probably ask whoever he's been working with for some kind of permission to actually search around Nott/the lake/the farmland during Week 1, but if they said no he'd probably do it anyway using the portal to Nott that's currently open for his usual deliveries. I understand he won't find anything this early, this is more for flavor/character stuff!

This looks great, thank you guys for setting this up!

1. King Brydan grows busier and busier as the situation with the Summoned escalates. Talks circulate of the King making a few public appearances across Thorne to placate citizens and Summoned alike, to assure everyone that the crown is doing all it can to ensure people's safety. Any time the topic of the Queen is raised, Brydan only ushers his advisers and associates to continue to give her their full support. He believes that she will make the right decision for the kingdom.

2. Kyle won't need to go far to hear about the Rhett siblings. Their distaste for one another is the first thing that most people mention, only after discussing their expertise in magics. The twins attempt to be civil in front of larger audiences, but they frequently talk about one another whether or not their sibling is out of earshot. One rumor has it that once in their youth, they got into a fight that ended with Ambrose suffering a great indignity which he refuses to confirm.

Despite their differences, they manage to work together for long hours and can be seen coming in and out of a sanctioned conference room. Why they are using that rather than Ambrose's office is not immediately clear. Anastasia herself appears to be on good terms with the mages who studied in Hayle, especially Jolene Sybell.

3. Kyle would be granted permission to take a look if he'll be in the area regardless for a typical delivery. He'll have a few opportunities for this since Nott often needs packages delivered. Thorne would request he take a guard with him for safety. The guard would not hinder him from looking around and would simply be there to make sure he returns to Castle Thorne in one piece. If Kyle wants to give the guard the slip for about an hour or so, he can observe that the guard is overworked and has a penchant for drink. The guard can be convinced to take rest around noon, during which he will fall asleep. He will be grateful if Kyle is still there when he wakes up, especially if Kyle promises not to tell anyone about the guard's lapse.
