Event #12 - COORDINATION (1)

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)

Just sliding in some v1.5 details while Viktor works on the official improved version!

Viktor has solicited help from the Summoned to crowdsource location data. In addition to receiving information from Kyle's tracking endeavor, Viktor will be sending Cadens Summoned out with the receiver--first, Diana and Jaskier into the badlands north of the city, and then Dean and Jesper to Aquila. I can add more to this as others volunteer/contribute, but in the meantime wanted to get an idea of whether this would give them more information (at this point he is mostly interested in a northeast/northwest bearing to eliminate chunks of the map). Thanks!

[abraxasmods]

Those who go to the Badlands will find the signal north holds. Those who go to Aquila, depending on how far east they go in Aquila, will find the signal continues to point north, but occasionally it will aim westward. If it's brought too close to the water, it will become confused.

[cointosser]

Jaskier is also taking his original tracker with him to Luna for the meeting with Sten and Quilleth. I know the trackers are having trouble with signals near water, but would there be anything to come from being in Nocwich/Luna?

[abraxasmods]

The water does cause some interference, though milder than by the Aquila shores. When not confused, the device alternates between northwest and northeast. It occasionally points directly north.

For a more conclusive reading, Sten will offer to send a guide to lead Jaskier up the tall cliffs in Luna that overlook the ocean.

On foot, the hike takes about 2-3 hours each way. However, Sten is aware of Jaskier's transformation ability based on their previous meeting. Therefore, he'll suggest using an alternate form to shorten the trip. Nadine may come and do the same if she's willing to reveal a similar ability. The Lunae guide will volunteer to carry the device. He'll go on foot and can keep up easily.

At the top of the cliff, Jaskier will be able to "catch" a better signal. It will point west, and occasionally tug both southward and northward.

Quilleth will return to her duties after the meeting. Jaskier may update her with his discoveries afterwards.

[cointosser]

Oh, this is incredibly awesome! Thank you. Jaskier and Nadine (who is willing to reveal her wolf form to Sten) will agree to join him on this venture. Jaskier will also not hesitate to shift his own form to a sandpiper in front of Sten. At this point, he'll do whatever it takes.

Afterwards, Jaskier will let Quilleth know they are currently trying to ping the location of the Summoned using technology (which, he admits, he does not know how it works, only that the more locations the tracker is brought to, the more they can receive signals to coordinate.) At this point, he may question if there is any pull Quilleth may have that could get him a portal to any part of Solvunn, if only temporarily, to test a signal on the tracker from.

He will also try to get a signal from Libertas, but I assume that will be much easier than Solvunn!

[abraxasmods]

Yes, getting a signal from Libertas will be simple. He can either do it himself or delegate someone helping him with the restoration of Libertas to do it for him. In Libertas, it will point straight north.
