CR & PLOTTING: AUGUST

While July might've been a little hectic on the real life side of things (show of hands for everyone who's grateful August is here now), in-game, it was a little bit more lowkey. With the weather reaching its peak in summer, a few Witches decided to bring it down a notch - or several, resulting in a fairly snowy month. A last minute snowstorm stirred up at the end, leaving the cold to roll into August's early weeks - mind yourselves, everyone!

The weather aside, the city and its people didn't take too much of a break. The Coven, deciding that a follow up on the cave was necessary, especially with the discovery of a ley-line beneath it, put out a request to help get Smugha Cave into more suitable base order. They were immensely grateful for the help they received, too; not everyone in the Coven is trained to handle what the Wilde can dish out. With the area better secured, they turn their eyes to the next part of their plan to establish a firm foothold in the Wilde: connecting directly to the ley-line, creating an anchor point for teleportation. Amidst this, Nerissa Bell - head of the Coven - called for a bit of a meeting for everyone who could attend, just for everyone to share any information, queries, and so on - if they'd like, or if they could. With those major points out of the way...

Quest: Special Training

As more than a few of you have already noticed, a quest log will be going up on August 9th for some training by the Wilders. While not exactly an event proper, this will be an opportunity for characters to head into the deeper part of the Wilde in a similar fashion to the last one in June for the exploration of Smugha Cave. We won't spoil too many details for all of you, but just like the last one, it might have some connection to a place in the last dream everyone got to have - that is, July's TDM. Sign-ups are on-going and open to everyone, so if it piques your interest now or when the log goes up, feel free to toss your character up there!

Event: The Black City

Speaking of shared dreams: no points for guessing what our next event log is. Like clockwork, characters will fall asleep on the night of the 16th regardless of if they can truly sleep or need to - and awaken in a dream. They'll find themselves within a city not unlike Aefenglom in structure, but with a major difference: there aren't any Monsters walking freely. Instead, they're leashed and collared, heads lowered in submission - and those who have Monster traits coming in will find they're under the same curse as these ones: they have to obey every order that comes from a Witch's mouth, whether it's a joke or not. Attempting to fight it will give them pain, nausea, and other adverse effects in increasing intensity until they give in, or until the Witch lifts their order.

And just like in the last shared dream, as well as the TDMs, a character's rate of transformation and the number of spells/how powerful they are can be played with - it is a dream, after all!

So Sheva's from a world where bioweapons are rampant and she's actively tasked with neutralizing the threat of the monsters that tend to result from such weapons manufacturing and use. She's also got a deep bias against them and is still acclimating to the existence of magic and monsters. Also a bit in denial as one would expect.

I'd love for her to meet Bull but it's up in the air as to how it would go depending on the situation. She's also one to fiercely take care of her people, so that could be a positive trait she'd latch onto. Thoughts?

Ooo that could be good. Bull is used to people seeing him as/treating him like a monster and he takes it in stride pretty well, as long as she doesn't try to stab him or something I think it could be a really interesting interaction.

TBH even if she did stab him, that wouldn't preclude him chatting with her.

She wouldn't attack unless she felt threatened and cornered honestly, but bless Bull's standards. >_>;

This attitude might be helpful in her adjusting to this place. Also, what a tank of an ally to have in this world.

Bull is the Most Tank ally tbh. What do you want him to hit? Just point.

Most excellent. Out of curiosity, what are Bull's opinions on exploring beyond the wall?

Bull has gone exploring beyond the wall! A few times now, I think.
