It's time for activity check, so please check the FAQ if you are confused about any requirements.

Please fill out the following form by January 4th at 11:59 PM ET to stay in the game! Failure to reply will count as idling out.

<b>Player Name:</b> <b>Character Name:</b> <b>Thread 1 Link + Summary:</b> <b>Thread 2 Link + Summary:</b> <b>Faction:</b> Fill this in only if 1) this is your first time submitting AC for the character; or 2) your character's faction has changed since the last AC round <b>Power or physical gain:</b> Either from the Horizon or event rewards <b>Notable actions:</b> (If applicable) NPC threads and/or actions that may result in others around them noticing (for this month).

If you are passing with a hiatus or a strike, please use this form instead:

<b>Hiatus/Strike</b> <b>Player Name:</b> <b>Character Name:</b> <b>Faction</b> Fill this in only if 1) this is your first time submitting AC for the character; or 2) your character's faction has changed since the last AC round <b>Power or physical gain:</b> Either from the Horizon or event rewards

NOTE: Some changes have been made to the AC form.

1. You will only need to fill out your faction if it's your first time submitting Activity Check for that particular character or if your character's faction has changed since the last Activity Check


2. We've added a Notable Actions section where you can describe and link anything your character has done for the month that would be of note to either us mods or the playerbase at large, such as NPC interactions or actions taken that would cause some attention among those around them. Examples include local performances of note (a play, a magic show), inconveniences (a flock of sheep was set loose through the settlement), etc. These will be included in our upcoming State of the Game post to keep all players informed!

Just as a reminder, character inbox thread are considered acceptable activity so long as both are not exclusively in character inboxes. You may submit threads from the previous month as long as the comments being linked take place in the current month and that the thread has not been used for a previous Activity Check already.

[righteously]

Player Name: Em
Character Name: Dean Winchester
Faction: Free Cities
Power or physical gain: His first horizon visit!

I'm thinking of going with like a modified version of D&D's Vigilant Rebuke — ( Whenever you or a creature you can see within 30 feet of you succeeds on an Intelligence, a Wisdom, or a Charisma saving throw, you can use your reaction to deal 2d8 + your Charisma modifier force damage to the creature that forced the saving throw. )

tl;dr game-modified version — if something attacks him or one of his allies that he has a visual on, he can do some neat protection magic to throw it back a couple yards with a mildly damaging force blast. He'll only be able to do this as a reaction for now, not at will.

[sorser]

Player Name: Jen
Character Name: Stephen Strange
Faction: Thorne
Power or physical gain: For his first Horizon visit, Stephen is granted the attribute of what is basically Truesight. This gives him the ability to see through darkness both normal and magical, and generally perceive objects and people as they truly are. For example, recognizing visual illusions (especially those meant to hide or deceive), perceiving invisible objects/people/creatures as long as he has a clear line of sight, or seeing the true form of something transformed by magic.
Notable actions: Participated in the Dimming event for Thorne, but failed to deliver a casket to the Singularity. (Sad trombone.) Assessed the state of the Singularity before and after it had been fed another character’s casket. (Still to be threaded!)

[abraxasmods]

Apologies for the delay!

Unfortunately Truesight as it is presented is a little too powerful for a Horizon gain, with too much potential to reveal mod plot points and NPC secrets, but a scaled back or lower level version would be doable. Something like being able to see through darkness without the other abilities, for example, or a version of Truesight where he can recognize something is an illusion or otherwise effected by magic without being able to penetrate it entirely.

Or feel free to go for something entirely different but at the same level!

[unwings]

Player Name: Jay
Character Name: Castiel
Faction: Free Cities
Power or physical gain: First Horizon visit power! I'd like to give Cas something like Burning Hands: "As you hold your hands with thumbs touching and fingers spread, a thin sheet of flames shoots forth from your outstretched fingertips. Each creature in a 15-foot cone must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 3d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The fire ignites any flammable objects in the area that aren’t being worn or carried." Translated in-game, the visual would be a burning light thing, with the same fire-burn effect. Right now, he'll only be able to use it once a day, and the light only lasts about 3 seconds max, so he can't move it or retry if someone dodges.

Notable actions: Participated in Aleksander's Holiday Experiment for a weirdly long time

[privatizes]

Player Name: Chelsea
Character Name: Tony Stark
Faction: Solvunn
Power or physical gain: Mending from his first time visiting the Horizon! "This spell repairs a single break or tear in an object you touch, such as a broken chain link, two halves of a broken key, a torn cloak, or a leaking wineskin. As long as the break or tear is no larger than 1 foot in any dimension, you mend it, leaving no trace of the former damage. This spell can physically repair a magic item or construct, but the spell can’t restore magic to such an object."

Notable actions: Tony attempted to gain a casket for Solvunn, but failed. He is also working on creating an electrical grid for Solvunn and has been in talks with the Council to install electricity to the library! He should be ready to go in beginning that project over the next month as he continues to build batteries, generators, and wiring. :)

[coerthantorment]

Player Name: Quix
Character Name: Estinien Wyrmblood
Notable actions: Estinien went to the Singularity for the Dimming and fought his heart out against three different people trying to get caskets for Solvunn. The first two fights did not go his way and he got beaten into critical condition, but Himeka managed to come along and claim the casket from his second opponent and heal him up a bit. He went on to offer her an assist in protecting the casket from Goro, and the two of them managed to bring her prize back into Solvunn territory. Estinien was in terrible condition when he got back and spent the next while sleeping it off.
