Event #14 - COORDINATION

OOC event plotting | 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:

◎ Request NPC involvement or resources
◎ Review any updated developments
◎ 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.

The DEVELOPMENTS thread will be used by the mods to record important game-wide updates.

Mod Communications

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!

Contact Us

<b>Player Name:</b> <b>Character Name:</b> <b>Request:</b> (Describe what you'd like to do)

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 environmental damage or any important wounds made on a Anomalous Beast (such as a missing limb). We will update the Developments comment to help players keep track.

Submit a notable action

<b>Player Name:</b> <b>Character Name:</b> <b>When:</b> (Approximately when is this incident taking place? A day or two into the event, at the end of it, or somewhere in the middle?) <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 brief or minor, for example if your character is running around screaming about the end of days.)

Thresher Maws aren't subtle.

You'll know it when you find about a mile radius of Domains that've been completely demolished, assuming it isn't in the process of destroying them when you find it. Set foot on that nest, and it'll go after you.

If that doesn't work, hit the ground as hard as you can— if what I've been told about your capabilities is right, that'll get it to you in no time. Shouldn't take more than two minutes. Got all that?

[ Oh, great. A mile radius? The Horizon is already only a few miles across -- how big is this thing, exactly? Why is it so pissy? Can't it just hang out underground like a normal worm?

Maybe this is why Geralt always comes off so exhausted.

Gimme like fifteen minutes to go see what's up. I'll let you know soon.

We'll get our team in position on this side, we're moving in as soon as you give us the word.

[The Thresher Maw is indeed unsubtle.

Awake, it had demolished scrub and burrow, overturning the earth from below until it formed a wide and circular plane of packed dirt. Nowhere to hide, nothing to muffle footsteps. In the Horizon, it woke to a patchwork of strange variety, landscapes verging on one another in a nonsense of noise and shifting biomes; rage was its only answer.

Cherished buildings, the rolling hills of homelands far distant, the memory of croplands, of ruins, of childhood views, the earth humps up and overturns it all. The sound of crackling rubble and the angry rumbling roar of busy digging make the Maw's location obvious, as does the way it occasionally rears up out of the earth, tens of meters tall, to spit a nightmare's dream of acid from it's claw-framed, eyeless face. In its wake, the Horizon is obedient as ever to the will of the dreamer, remaking itself in red Tuchanka clay, baked flat and dry in the sun: the Thresher's preferred habitat.

In short, it's making a mess. Good luck with that.]
