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)

Could've been bait.

[Give them something they can use to lure them into finding it worthwhile to open more. But as for the idea of opening one more, but not all of them--]

How many are there? Do we know for sure?

[magicalarchaeologist]

I counted four. I can't see through the illusions like the rest of you can, so maybe there's a hidden one.

[ Because he hasn't gone through the ritual, he can't see the cracked wall or the boulder either. ]

[takeatrip]

[He almost makes a comment akin to 'lucky you' about not going through the ritual, but he doesn't want to think about that ordeal and is much more distracted by the second part of that response anyway.]

'See through illusions?'

[He may have been under the impression that the new things--like the cracked wall and the boulder--are just new hallucinations to go with all the rest of them.]

[magicalarchaeologist]

Claude took me to a cracked wall, or he said it's cracked, I can't see it. But I put my hand on it, I felt it, it's real I think.

[ Istredd sighs. ]

I was trained by the most powerful illusionist mage alive in my sphere. You can't trust your eyes, but you can trust your hands.

[takeatrip]

[Huh. Well, good to know, he supposes, and although he's not so sure about the trusting your hands part for hallucinations in general, maybe it's entirely true for magical illusions. Not like he knows anything about magic, after all.]

Yeah, I saw the cracked wall.

[But okay, back on topic--]

It's probably a good idea to do a search for any more shrines, just so we know what we're actually dealing with.

[magicalarchaeologist]

My concern with the cracked wall is if we try to break it open, the acolytes will hear and maybe block it off. Hard to say.

[ He wants them to try, the question is when and how. But it's not his place to decide, he can't even see it. ]

If you want to volunteer, that would be great. Mostly because I won't be able to see if there's a hidden one.

[takeatrip]

[It's a reasonable concern and not one he's going to argue with at the moment, but the cracked wall is definitely going to be kept in mind for later. But one thing at a time.]

Sure, yeah. Of course. I'm not doing anything useful right now anyway.

[Having something to do is a welcome distraction, no matter how bad he feels.]

I'll see if someone else wants to do a count too. Better to have more than one set of data.

[Considering, you know. That they're all a bit addled at the moment.]
