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)

This is very awesome, mods! We will be taking advantage of this for some inner-group conflict; the crew will largely be for taking the woman's word and promising her to let the kid go once they get to the location to be sure it isn't a trap. Dean will be off his rocker on the Mark and will try and kill him anyway, but ultimately if it isn't a trap Jo and Sam will intervene while Nadine releases him and the kid will survive.

The team would also like to know what the potential fall-out would be after letting the young fella go por favor!

True to the woman's word, there is no trap. Once in the area, they'll discover that there is some dried kelp on the ground that should belong to the sea. It's unclear how the kelp made it to the middle of the Badlands. The ocean borders Cadens and Aquila on the other side of the Free Cities. This information can be brought back to the Free Cities. Officials will open a portal if the group or any others want to investigate the coastline of Aquila.

The young man will make it back safe and he will be angry. If characters come across bandits who are his allies they might run into trouble, though with only a description to go by it's possible they can escape recognition. This is most relevant throughout the event if characters will actively continue to roam bandit camps and similar areas in search of more information.

Afterwards, you can make use of this detail how you like to flavor future interactions or CR development. The desert is vast, so characters could avoid confrontation if they don't go near areas heavily occupied by bandits. These areas are typically around the edges of the Badlands close to roads used by merchants and travelers. Eventually, word will fade or leadership will change hands, causing the heat to die down.

Thank you, that fallout is solid!

Dean and Jesper (and possibly the rest of the party) will be taking the portal to Aquila. We'll also have someone (likely Sam Winchester) make a network post about it, & will tag it to Natasha's info gathering in case anyone else is interested in hopping in the Aquila portal.

Dean will also be taking one of Viktor's receivers through with them, if that would produce any significant results at all!

[abraxasmods]

Broadly, they'll find some unusual activity around the waters and shores of Andromeda Bay. The most logical option is to investigate underwater where they will find signs of bleached coral contained to a small radius, but you have the option of looking anywhere your characters would be inclined to look including digging into the sand.

If characters will be doing any particular actions or investigating something in detail, or if the party will be taking along anyone new, we suggest submitting a new investigation specific to all characters who will going under Tracking Leads for the purpose of organization.

Viktor's receiver, when taken to Aquila, will continue to point north, but occasionally it will aim westward. If it's brought too close to the water, it will become confused.

[righteously]

Thanks mods, I will give folks a chance to speak up if they want to join the Aquila portal and then submit a new Tracking Leads comment about it!
