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

<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)

The most interesting fact she will discover, which she will learn is consistent with any of the abductions should she talk to the others, is there is little evidence left behind. Only trace amounts of blood remain.

In the area, she will find a patch of purple lupines that's withered and is drained of life. While dried up plants are not completely unusual in the desert, fresh petals fallen on the ground suggest the condition occurred unnaturally.

[theidlemaiden]

Could she potentially collect the flowers and see if there’s someone who could help them understand why they became that way? If yes, is there anything that could be gleaned from it?

( also happy to have this come up in a different thread when/if Hilda and Petra are able to find someone skilled enough to help them figure this out )

[abraxasmods]

She can collect the flowers. You can follow up with what they find depending on who they ask for help inspecting them. Results may vary between a botanist and someone using magic.

[nadine_he_loves]

Hilda brought the flowers to Nadine to examine them. She'll be using her skills/equipment as an herbalist to examine them but will also attempt to use her diagnostic magic on them to see if that does anything.

[abraxasmods]

Nadine will learn that the flower shows signs of having died rapidly, within a matter of minutes, as opposed to withering from natural causes.

Because she is attending a meeting in Luna with Jaskier, she can consider bringing the flower to ask if they would be able to understand anything about it. She can also arrange to pass the flower onto someone in another nation through an exchange in Nocwich's Oleuni Square if she believes another character would be better able to examine its magical properties in their faction instead.

[cointosser]

Since it's coming up in our NPC thread, if Jaskier attempted to use his plant magic (growing/controlling plants) on the dead lupine, would he feel anything particular from it? Would it reject the attempt?

[abraxasmods]

Jaskier can bring the plant back to life, but it won't last. As soon as he stops channeling his magic, it'll wither again as if it's unable to sustain itself.
