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: Heather
Character Name: Lucifer

Request: I am so very sorry Sometime shortly after the update meeting Lucifer would try to either approach Ambrose or get as close as possible (shouting down a hall or something), yelling inane things about how they're supposed to be "safe" "kept" in Thorne as they are (fully sarcastic), how's all the warding helping them now, if Thorne ever let them hold any means to defend themselves maybe things like this wouldn't happen.

Lucifer would have been working on wards earlier in the week. He is typically very level-headed in Thorne and makes a point not to speak out, only becoming more openly distressed as the week went on. That might be the only good thing going for him.

I absolutely understand if this gets him thrown in a cell or something of the sort.

Acts of aggression towards the High Mage will receive immediate attention from the royal guards. They will stop Lucifer from reaching Ambrose, who appears a combination of mixture of tired and annoyed by the commotion.

Lucifer will receive a timeout in the dungeons for the rest of the day. He'll be let out in the morning. A day or so afterwards, he will receive a brief but honest handwritten note from Ambrose stating that this incident is unprecedented. Further, there has not been evidence that any of the Summoned were abducted while within the walls of the castle, suggesting that - similar to what Thorne has always said - the Summoned are safest when in the castle. Thorne does not believe weapons would have helped prevent the situation.

Nonetheless, Thorne is committed to their mission of protecting the Summoned. Thorne agrees that there can be improvements made, but stresses that hindsight is 20/20 and that they can only continue to move forward. They are bringing in skilled mages from Hayle for a fresh perspective, including investigating whether the Singularity may have had an impact on what happened.

The note concludes that they hope they can rely on Lucifer understanding that the most valuable Lucifer can be is to offer his ongoing assistance to help save the Summoned.
