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)

1. There is no real telepathic or magical significance attached to the symbol. It appears to be neutral rather than actively malicious in and of itself, suggesting that a meaning has been ascribed to it by its users that is not inherent within the symbol.

2. Returning to the child, he'll confirm that the description features "holes for eyes". He will want to know if she will search for the demon, and if she will return. He tells her very sincerely not to disappear like the others.

Now that she has the information to compare, she can also notice that the corruption she found earlier around the shrines and in the woods is typically present in or near areas where the Summoned or the natives were known to be abducted.

[carmesi]

after talking to the child (and promising her she won't disappear), she'll give him some candies. she's grown fond of him. she will ask his parents if they have any particular information about the 'others who have disappeared' around the settlement, if they or their son have witnessed it themselves.

she will want to find isar hart before she leaves the tertiary settlement and ask him if he's otherwise familiar with a creature that looks like this. she will also ask if there is anything he needs in his transition as a temporary leader in the council.

[abraxasmods]

Unfortunately, due to Solvunn's tradition of speaking very little about families who disappear, the family doesn't have much information about the others. They claim families resettle when they decide they no longer fit in with commune life, so disappearances are not unusual. The boy is quite pleased with his candy, though.

Isar will give the same answer others have received, which is that he's not familiar with the creature. He asks her where she received the image, and if there's anything else she can describe about it.

He thanks her for the offer, but says he's settling in well and will be happy to hand the seat to someone else once the crisis is over.

[carmesi]

she's grateful for their help nonetheless, and leaves with a promise of visiting should she be around the settlement some other time. before she leaves, though, she turns to the boy once more and asks if prior to getting 'haunted' by the white-faced demon, if he had gone into the woods — played around by the shrine she had followed the aura into?

—

wanda mentions to Isar that through some scrying (don't @ her) she was able to see such creature from the eyes of one of the lost ones (no need to be entirely honest, it's too complicated otherwise). as for description, she will say that it "moves on its hands and with the vines to drag it. it dislikes fire." wanda will ask that in lieu of not seeing something like it before, if there were perhaps stories of such creatures, even in the more imaginative of tales parents would tell kids, or some such?

[abraxasmods]

The boy insists he didn't play near any shrines in the woods, and that he only visits the shrines near his home like he's told. Wanda can guess he's lying, probably as he's broken the rules.

Isar knows that Wanda is involved in the sacrificial rituals. Thus, he accepts her explanation. There are stories involving the Old Gods, however this appears to be real. He suggests that beyond stories, unknown creatures can be made through rituals and magic. Usually this type of magic is transformative and acts on an already existing object or being. Doing so goes against Solvunn's traditions. Only the Old Gods should have the power to choose what new beings enter the world.

[carmesi]

she doesn't question the boy any longer, but does tell him that his secret is safe with her so long as he promises her to follow the rules as expected of him. they're there to keep him safe.

wanda will thank isar for his insight on the situation. unknown creatures made through rituals and magic is a whole other cornucopia of problems. she voices out loud the possibility that perhaps it is made from a living person—? and that, alone, is alarming to her. hopefully that is not the case.

she will take this knowledge with her, and tells him that she'd appreciate that he send word to her should he have more information to share (or should he find someone else who can) regarding these rituals and magic.
