Event #17 - Coordination

OOC Plotting Post ⦁ IC Event Log ⦁ Nocwich

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:

◎ Contact the mods
◎ Submit your suspected culprit
◎ Investigate the crime or track ongoing investigations
◎ Submit noticeable actions
◎ Write rapid IC exchanges

Available Forms

For details on each form, see the sections below.
Be sure to reply under the applicable category as required.

Mod Communications

If you have any questions about the limits or scope of what you can do before you formalize it in an investigation, you can go over the details with us here. You can also submit the suspect to Celeste under the appropriate heading. Submitting the name of the suspect is not required to complete the mystery, but doing so may contribute to whether the suspect is caught or escapes.

If you have questions about non-investigative aspects of the event, see the Questions thread on the OOC Plotting Post.

<b>Player Name:</b> <b>Character Name:</b> <b>Submission:</b> (Describe your question OR write the name of the Witness your character will accuse as the suspect)

Investigations

To leave opportunities for others, please limit the scope of your actions per submission. For example, if you'd like to test a key, you must specify a narrow set of locks in a particular section. Additionally, while there are no strict limits on how many investigations you can be involved in, we do ask that you try to stagger them a little to help us keep pace.

You can investigate something multiple times as long as it makes sense for your character to try again. This includes following up with witnesses if characters learn new information. To investigate, fill out the form, then comment under the item you're investigating.

Investigate a witness, scene, or evidence

<b>Player Name:</b> <b>Character Name:</b> <b>Other characters involved:</b> <b>Witness/Scene/Evidence:</b> (What is the witness, scene, or evidence your character is exploring?) <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> (If applicable. Linking a thread is NOT required, but can help us tailor our responses) <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 a piece of evidence, you might want to do an IC exchange. IC exchanges can take place in the real world or the Horizon.

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.)

Player Name: Lins
Character Name: Clive Rosfield
Other characters involved: Geralt

Witness/Scene/Evidence: Art Gallery
Action: Clive has summoned Torgal to track down some vampire blood Geralt has found. Will there be anything for the best boy to track?
Thread: Thread
Notes: (Anything else)

[abraxasmods]

Upon sniffing the blood, Torgal will lead them in a bit of a circle at first. It seems the scent is difficult for him to follow. However he'll soon take them to the Sun Petal. This can be before or after Geralt noticed the missing book behind the stall. This would suggest that whoever left the blood signature behind, they had some significant contact with the Sun Petal area and may be in possession of that book.

Along the way, Torgal can also meet other friendly canine-like creatures such as Maximaria the Destroyer, and may be fed treats from passersby.

[flagrates]

Thank you! Will there be anything to find at the Sun Petal via tracking? Does the scent trail end there? Are there any people they can talk to? If so, what did they see or hear? Will Torgal be able to track the missing book?

Also Maximaria is incredibly cute, what the heck!!!

[abraxasmods]

They may speak to the botanist at the Sun Petal if they wish! If Geralt has already been there from a previous investigation, then the botanist may recognize him.

They can ask Torgal to track the notebook. Since the botanist would like his missing notebook found, he'll allow Torgal to help and let the animal around back to sniff around. From here, Torgal will lead them back to the gallery and towards the Vaults again, suggesting that the book may be in someone's private vault.

Currently, the Sentinels and Vault Guardians can't act on this unconnected theft to let them in. However, if Clive and Geralt report it, authorities will keep the information on record and add it to the mounting list of clues that may result in the Summoned being allowed to investigate someone's private vault.

They will report it! Geralt will tell them he'll return later in case there are any new discoveries.
