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: dai
Character Name: Steve Harrington
Other characters involved: Morgana Pendragon

Action: Steve has been spending a couple of months now helping out at the various alters out around the Primary Settlement. He started this work around the time of the Affliction event, and has kept up with the help in cleaning, fixing up wards, and learning the basics of whatever the locals will tell him about. He's going to be looking for anything that looks even vaguely familiar (especially at the sigil) and also see if he can connect anything he's been told before to what he sees here. In Morgana's experience, shrines are usually connected to spirits in some way and usually if they're messed with improperly, those spirits can haunt for revenge and such. So she'd be very cautious about disturbing it or doing too much mindless touching.
Also, even though her magic is weak, she might chant some spells used to detect magic in an area or sense a spirit/connection to something magical in the vicinity.
Thread: Thread
Notes: back during the affliction event, steve did accept koth pretty easily (though he had no idea what it meant, etc.) not sure if that has any relation to this! additionally, steve's focus on the shrines hasn't been focused on any one in particular, so he has very shallow but fairly varied associations with imagery/history/knowledge/etc and the more popular gods in solvunn.

Steve may notice that the sigil resembles the Arcana in some manner, but if he's familiar with the full Arcana in Abraxas, he'll realize it isn't recognizable as any of the signs in the deck. The symbol is painted with an odd thick black substance. Unlike the aged shrine, the symbol is not faded and looks new. Steve can recognize that sometimes runes in Solvunn, runes are painted using a similar-looking substance.

Morgana will detect magic, but she'll be detecting magic from all around them rather than strictly from the shrine as the entire cavern is shrouded in magic. However, she can sense that the shrine does carry a very old magic that's been there for a long time, possibly many generations.

If one of them knocks at the base of the shrine, beneath where the notch is located, it will sound hollow. There could be something inside if they find a way to open it, or it might just be empty.
