“TAKING” DORCH — THE PLOT
hello you guys!! i heard you wanted to go full rebel
a quick summary that prompted this: there have been discussions about the possibility of freeing the city without necessarily starting a war— sometime afterwards, through torturing a poor soul in a bathroom, we've learned that monsters are being bred under the guise of human orphanages (more info here under answer four!).
this has great potential and can be an awesome city-wide chance for characters to get involved in a movement that can give the resistance a huge start to an upper hand over our lovely morgana, so this serves as a plotting post to free the monsters being bred for sale, destroy dorch’s slavery supply and stock and help the resistance take dorch for good*!
*they might not actually be able to take dorch, but we've definitely been given the ok to make a positive difference!
there are plenty of parallel investigations going on such as wall enchantments (that i could think off the top of my head, i know there are more!), and even those can play a part in our final attack, so to speak! what i have so far:
— eren will disclose the locations to the resistance first, then the mirrorbound shortly after in a network message (it'll show up in the log itself as an intro, so no replies or convos to it will happen icly anyway— characters will get further information from the resistance itself).
— people can choose a group that best suits their character that we could have to act together with the resistance (but not limited to, so please feel free to add, these are just a base):
icly, i was thinking that this could be planned to happen close to before the mirrorbound leave, at night (with some magitech sabotage to get rid of any extra light— you won’t need that with fires around). monsters saved that would like to return to aefenglom with them via transport machine can disappear in a blink, maybe? :') the rest are welcomed to stay to join the resistance ranks and take what’s left to lighten the black city. in real time, i can put up a post as soon as this week, when we have something comfortable to ride with!
this is just a gist of things, and i’d love to see different groups showing up to take advantage of the event and crack down on more breeches that we’ve seen investigated!! different takes on the groups mentioned, ideas, raid somewhere else, go crazy. the only thing that most people, and i also assume the resistance, would like to keep in mind is a careful hand on the violence— minimal number of civilian casualties possible, as the objective here is to act before there’s an actual chance of war, and not so much a real reason for one. it’s not like aefenglom is the cause of this!!! right???
but no one said you couldn’t, and the resistance is very willing to do everything they can 👀👀👀👀
make top levels for your plans, if you have new ideas you can put them in the headers for easy reading & finding, and feel free to ask questions about our limits under the correct comment (that i believe mods will be keeping an eye on!). most of all, have fun!!

💥 team war horse: these will be responsible for either literally starting fires or just general mayhem/distractions in dorch's most vulnerable points or in and around the orphanages themselves, to get the attention of the black city's army/workers away from their real objective. decoys, if you will!
💥 team dark horse: responsible for getting into the orphanages and ushering the hidden monsters out safely, leading them to resistance tunnels, etc etc. the human children will need some help too!!
💥 team gift horse: our dignitaries might be of use here to show that you do care. civilians and humans alike need calming, guiding and saving as well from the possible chaos that could be caused— baby sitting the orphan kids, perhaps? whatever your imagination can fix up! protect them and keep their minds sound, all while keeping aefenglom’s name clean and monsters in a better view!
💥 team trojan horse: our (mostly) fighters infiltrated in all groups to help with their task and offer protection against counter attacks and douse threats. they could also be tasked with restraining the army from acting against them.

Get the Door Team
Hello, I'm shuu and I play caster Cu. Thank you for the interest in the GET THE DOOR plotting. Since various things were being discussed in various places where not everyone has access to, I figured I'll just make a top-level seperate to the one in QUESTIONS
So to recap
AGENDA
it's been found out that source of the Enchantments on the wall is behind the double door in the Coven. That means gotta get behind these doors. network post related to that
OOC question/plotting related to that
dramatis personae aka roles and what is who doing (hope I get it right the first time)
Rough timeline — aka what seems that has happened
But my thought was to send mods in that thread, that next decision of the team would be to contact Nessie with what First Team found and ask for input. (Caster would go there for mayhem, subdue/kill the Witches, but he ain't stupid and will listen to voice of reasons). I just want to know everyone's input and if that's an okay thing to do!
Get the Door Team
1) Collection of any need for additional proof that Nessie might want/request should be top priority!
-This may not be requested if what Sokie steals + their collected information so far is damning enough to draw Aef's support.
2) An urge to exercise caution with the "crypt". They know it's location and that people are inside, under magical spell. He thinks much further look into this might risk it being moved/locked down and harder to intervene with. It's best left as it is, unless they are informed of a means to safely rescue those inside.
3) Volunteer himself to distract within the Coven, if necessary, should they need to do a rescue mission.
Go Team Door!!

eta: also - he'd be fine with telling nessie and whatever the group decides. he's just here to punch people and drag you out by your hair if things get too nasty. because he's been living as a resistance member, he doesn't mind so much if he's observed doing something bad to the dorchacht coven, since there's a roulette chance it won't be immediately blamed on aefenglom.
no subject
Also there is the Watch, and a quick light spell when it comes to checking out the runic glow witches! So she can take a series of photos if there needs to be some evidence and possibly seeing if they can be broken.
there's also the possibly that she could take some of the papers, but not all of them-especially if she slips some of the papers into the misplaced book.
But yes please any OOC or IC input on what she should steal is wanted! she's for contact Nessie because really she is the magic expert. I will say though if Nessie wants the evidence, Sokie is going to want copies of it. Just in case.

While he's against murder, he sees nothing wrong with occupying the room behind the Door and the Crypt and sending for Nessie.
edit - using Cwyld infection as a threat to Witches inside is a valid interrogation tactic.
no subject
(Editing in the concern that an expert should advise before anything magic gets moved to prevent things going boom, or... something.)
But yes! Fang is willing to be Bail Out Specialist as well, has absolutely zero reservations against murder if hostilities break out (and minor reservations if it doesn't, she hates it here). Willing to get infected for justice if you need more people behind the door, but it sounds like you've got a lot going on already, so I don't want to clog up the gears any more than necessary.
She has nothing against going for Nessie, but if Shit Goes Down, she's not going to wait to defend herself or her Bonded vOv
no subject
There is also Nel who is going to do stuff anyway, so that's another plotting opportunity
no subject
But I would still like to know once we know where stand! Details might change things.

Nel finds asking forgiveness is easier than asking permission, would like to have Nessie informed but Will Get In regardless of what is advised they do (a “hands off” recommendation would be met with a nod, a smile, and then she’ll turn to the others and explain how to use her body as storage for their weapons of choice). Like Caster, runes (magic in general but especially runes) have been her focus since day one, to the point of obsession and detriments to her personal health. Divination is the one thing she’ll turn away from for personal reasons.
Anything not stolen by another, she’s happy to return for! As an “on their final way out” thing, not when disappearance could trigger suspicion.
When Nel enters the wall, either on her own or with a volunteer, she has some personalized rune cocktails that physically disorient the victim and create a few minutes of memory confusion, which runs the risk of permanent brain damage but Slavers Got No Rights!! These would be used to “get lost” and begin... well, uh, if she’s caught sneaking around, Nel typically melts the bodies these days. This could be useful for thinning ranks before a larger excursion, if any? Y’all she thinks the risk of her death makes it better not worse......
BIG on intel collection, def. Less retribution-minded folks could receive an offer of her protection as they work on the crypt enchantments?
EDIT: forgot to add! Great for stealth murder, but also a combat healer
(trying v hard to sound like I know what I’m about, please forgive any mistakes, being sick is shit)

- that book on memory wiping and stuff could be useful to bring to Aef as a proof!!

Also, you have no idea how excited I was to have a thread with Steve! thank you!I do think that most of the thing is going to get handwaved, with possible some scenes being played out when someone wants it. We're still waiting on the last step— aka Nessie was informed, and now all this stuff is brought to resistance and... we'll probably be seeing what happens next depending on the resistance response. Since some characters would prefer to go and Attac stuff anyway, while others to stand down. (I was planning to throw a poll for everyone once the answers are out there, but we'll see)
