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)

Player Name: Dia
Character Name: Alucard
Other characters involved: Jayce

Action: As suggested here, Alucard will be bringing a sample of the rotten wood that was sent to Libertas to the Council in order to see if they can make any sense of it and perhaps it can be used to determine the location that all have been taken to. Alucard will have the sample encased for maximum safety, and will retain it until back in the Free Cities, where he will pass it along to Quilleth in case further examples are needed for study.
Thread: None yet, happy to handwave or thread this one out.
Notes: None

The Council would recognize the smell, though they'd mention that the decay exhibited is extreme. Typically the ingredient is used only in rituals that involve sacrificial animals.

They'll show Alucard a thin black root contained in a secured jar. If Alucard can reach out to the Summoned in Solvunn, he may discover that Michael and Claire have retrieved some unmarked jars from Josselyn's house, one of which contains a similar ingredient.

The Council would also suggest Alucard look in Josselyn's house. Since the root can easily ruin crops and farmlands, only trusted Elders and Council members would possess it. If he decides to look in Josselyn's house himself, he'll notice an empty space on the shelf where the jars were recently removed. In that area, he can detect the same smell of rotting flesh though someone with regular senses would not.

[cryptsleeper]

Would the Council have an idea of potential origin spots for the wood itself/where it is commonly found, if at all?

[abraxasmods]

The root itself grows commonly in the swamps beneath a thick shrub, but Alucard will find its properties are benign in that state. The Council will not specify what it is they do to treat the root, but they say it requires a great deal of effort, multiple Elders, and several blessings from the gods. In other words, the material is difficult to obtain. Not every attempt succeeds.

Thank you. I will have him go prod in Joceyln's house and will do so under the correct heading!
