go to the OOC Plotting Post or IC Event Log

---

This post is for coordination while the event is ongoing, to prevent the IC Event Log from being overrun by OOC mod and player communications. The comments section will contain applicable comments and forms for you to reply to as needed.

Use this post to:

◎ Coordinate event plots with the mods
◎ Request a mod dice roll
◎ Investigate or interact with a plot point
◎ Submit noticeable actions
◎ Write rapid IC exchanges

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 / Randomization

If you have something you want to do related to the event plot, you can communicate and coordinate with us here. This includes NPC meetings, requesting large resources, destroying the environment, or anything else that may require mod permission to proceed. If we can't accommodate a request for any reason, we'll do our best to offer an alternative!

You can also use this section to request a randomized mod roll.

Contact Us

<b>Player Name:</b> <b>Character Name:</b> <b>Request:</b> (Describe what you'd like to do. Provide links if applicable.)

Interactions

Several interactions are available. For Part 2, there are fewer mysteries to uncover, but plenty to interact with to see what happens. You can interact with something as many times as you want, as long as there's a reasonable explanation for your character making their second attempt. Note that interactions might carry IC consequences, though we'll try to telegraph when characters are at high risk of triggering something. To interact, fill out the form, then comment under the corresponding item.

Interact

<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)

IC Exchanges

Use this option if you have an interaction you'd like to play out, but setting up a standard IC thread would be impracticable. For example, 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)

Notable Actions

Submit any 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, for example if your character snores loudly every night.)

This message is intended for anyone who's making their way to the island. Hopefully you've already landed.

By negotiating with one of the acolytes having second thoughts, Nero and I have made it above ground. If you've already arrived or you're close, you may have seen him fly briefly above the treeline. I'm hoping you can use that to narrow down our position, but if not I'll do what I can to direct you toward us.

The rest of the captives are still down below, locked up in a room that's filling up with water. If a few of you can sneak your way back the way we came, that's probably our best chance of getting everyone out of here alive. There will likely be some resistance along the way. Plenty of the acolytes are still dedicated to their cause, and there are some monsters down there besides.

[hextechhead]

Good to hear you're out, Steve. We are on our way, we have cloaked ships and a lot of mages and soldiers with us. I doubt all of us can make it down there, so it's best a small group do that. Is there anything we can do to cause a distraction, do you think?

[assembles]

This can't be the only entrance that they cultists are using to get in and out of the cavern. I would see if you can fan out and find another way in. Just the fact that you're here at all would be a distraction.

[hextechhead]

The acolyte who helped you out might have an idea of another approach. We can talk when we get there. The group of us had discussed on our way over trying both a subtle approach and a diplomatic push on the kidnappers. It sounds like that might be the best move to follow through with.

[assembles]

It's not a bad idea. While a few of them have apparently had second thoughts, the bulk of their force is still dedicated to seeing this out to the bitter end. Maybe with enough of a show of force, you'll be able to convince them to see reason.

[hextechhead]

I think we can handle that. We have a few forceful unsubtle types with us. A two-pronged attack could be the smartest move when they're this entrenched.

[cryptsleeper]

How small/difficult is the route you two used? I can enter a tight space relatively easily.

[assembles]

It was narrow. We had to be led out one at a time.

[cryptsleeper]

Sounds like bats can fit then. That'll do. Any wisdom in taking sticks in to force the area to remain open?

[assembles]

Hold on.
Bats?

[aquaveiled]

This is great news! We're definitely getting close, I thought I saw something in the sky and was worried for a second that we'd been spotted. But it dropped pretty suddenly.

You think you can show us back to your path without getting noticed?

We'll get everyone out. We aren't leaving without a single person.

Please give Nero my regards and tell him that Agatha misses him.

[assembles]

Yeah, we were thinking that maybe our abilities would return once we made it to the surface, but it looks like they're still kind of spotty.

Don't worry, I caught him. And I'll pass on your message.

We can see about making our way to the south side of the island. I assume that's where you're planning to dock once you get here.

[ofthesword]

STEVE. COME ON, MAN.

[assembles]

What's the problem?
Also, we're standing right next to each other.

[aquaveiled]

Oh no, he fell? I suppose that's not surprising. Thank you for looking out for him. He's durable but that doesn't mean he should purposefully get hurt.

I can check with the ship's crew and let them know that may be faster, if possible. The less distance we have to cover, the better.

[assembles]

It was a risk, but I think it worth it if it means that you'll be able to find us that much more quickly.

If you can change your course to land closer to where we are, that would be a huge help. We're not in great shape so the less distance we have to cover to meet you, the better.

[ofthesword]

Miss you too, H. (And Agatha. Not Eli, though.)

Anyway, don't listen to Steve. It was way more graceful than he described for a guy half-dead with tummy teeth.

[aquaveiled]

Eli hasn't had the same people to stare menacingly at. I'm sure he misses you.

The little dot I saw moved pretty fast.

[ofthesword]

He misses eating my stuff.

I don't know what you're talkin' about.

[funbreaker]

I will have you know that I kept your living space in good order for the short time that I was there.

[ofthesword]

What the -- who let you in my room? Himeka, you let some random guy in my room? That's a sacred space!

[widows_kiss]

Was that what that was?

We're on our way to your location now. Just give us a bit, they didn't exactly make this place very hospitable. But I think we can probably manage to sneak a few of us in.

[ You know. Maybe.

Honestly, she's just relieved he's finally giving her something she can actively do. ]

[assembles]

Yeah, Nero can sprout wings. He and Thor were friends when Thor was here.

[ As if that somehow explains everything. ]

If anyone can sneak in, it's you.

[ There's a few moments of delay, and then: ] It'll be good to see you.

[widows_kiss]

[ It explains a lot, actually.

Her answer comes quickly, however. ]

Trust me, the feeling is mutual. Try to stay in one piece till I get there, would you?

[assembles]

I'm currently safer than most of the other Summoned here. I'll be fine.
