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)

They'll react to and absorb their life force if it's offered. This may have something to do with the magic that's caused wildlife and plant life to wither and die, common in areas around the abduction sites.

The mushrooms will look like the ones in her vision. The ring is simply a circular ring. The only unusual aspect is that it's formed a circle.

Thancred can take a mold of the tracks. He'll notice that they're not unusual in terms of shape and size, and could be considered human tracks. The most unusual aspect is the lack of treads on them. The natives wouldn't know of anyone who would have tracks like that. They suggest it's likely the person is wearing a type of shoe that has no treads at all, either made that way or deliberately removed.

Since G'raha has dropped, Thancred and Himeka would like to continue the investigation together.

Thancred and Himeka would dig down into the circle just to see if there's anything of note down there.

Himeka would like to pick a few of the mushrooms and take them back to the farm with her. She'd then like to do a little experimenting in the kitchen and combine it with the wood Alucard brought, if she sneaks a small sample of it, amongst other regular kitchen things. (Different spices and maybe other herbs/flora/animal parts that she's already aware of used in Solvunn rituals during her studies of High Magic and helping the mages.)

With the casing of the footprints, Thancred would like to look around and maybe interview any shoemakers or cobblers in the Commune. Would any of them be familiar with the type of shoe or be able to admit to making some like it?

[abraxasmods]

The circle does not contain anything of note, though Himeka may sense from her connection to the god she found that he is unhappy about the mushroom rings sprouting where they should not.

Combining it with the wood Alucard brought will cause the rot to begin to dissolve. It does not appear to restore the wood to its former condition, however. Combining it with already healthy herbs will cause those herbs to wilt.

Cobblers in the commune tell Thancred that other than slippers worn at home, it's strange to find footprints in the woods with no treads since this is highly impractical. He suggests this means they must not journey on foot as most do. Possibly, they rely heavily on an alternate method of travel.
