CR & PLOTTING: AUGUST

[moustre]

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!

it has been so long since i was a fate/ fanatic... gomen. i definitely would love to have some kind of familiarity with their regal titles!!!!!! but dany will definitely not allow him to talk down to her if it comes to it, whoops. inexperienced little fireball targaryen versus king of kings will be Interesting for sure. she's a little too serious for her own good but if it's all in good nature, i can see their cr going mostly positive if not challenging each other to be and do their best.

:3

[fulgency]

honestly, even if she were to do him a sass, he'd probably be mildly impressed fdskjfhs i def see this being some positive cr for the both of them :>

[freeing]

that sounds perfect! is there anything on my general or event plotting that you'd like to tackle for their first meeting? i'm okay bouncing off your plans too!

[fulgency]

i was thinking i could hit up your top-level on the intro log and then maybe we could figure something out for the black city event? ozy won't be as hungry for Revolution ('cause, you know, he kinda said no to moses a bunch before finally conceding, plus he'll recognize it as another dream), but he won't want any monster he knows to be in that situation. so that could create maybe somewhat complicated cr depending on how that all goes down, if you're up for that!

if not, i can still def tag her top-level on the intro :]b

[freeing]

i would be down for that! baselines are always good with the intro stuff since she's far more "calm". /)_(\ and i'm excited.

dany'll be zipping around during black city with what i mentioned and also jorah will be p likely involved in some of her stuff initially since they're both new and latched to the hip AND stupid when it comes to knowing everything is a dream. magic and tech are consistently fucking them up.

[fulgency]

excellent! i'm gonna be trying to do my tag-ins tonight. if i don't get to it tho, i'll try to do it in the morning before work (got a long commute, so will probably be too tired tbh to do the thing after work).

dany and jorah are out here doing their best, ok. no one can fault or criticize them for that. maybe a little

[freeing]

please no rush!!! it's kind enough for you to plot with me here!! :") i'm just glad we are hashing some direction out
