Welcome to the team! Ellis will be traveling to a region Northwest of Starkhaven in search of the Venatori survey group with orders to capture a few knowledgeable nerds who can cough up info on the Gates.
The log for this is located HERE. As noted in the sign-ups, there is a list of possible goals the group can collectively accomplish based on the points you earn. The spreadsheet and instructions are HERE.
As you may notice, the log writeup is very action-oriented. However, the bonus point pool is designed to be flexible and reward downtime threads as much as action adventure stuff. We encourage you to write whatever you feel like in relation to the mission be it griffon riding adventures, the tedious trip back, interrogations, or something else. Split up! Treat this like a mingle event log! Whatever! More power to you if y'all want to do an eight person group thread, but that couldn't be me.
Additionally, if you have a thread where you want some light NPCing done to help facilitate your play, please hit up Ammmy. That said, feel free to do your own NPC steering too. We'll save any plot-important info and reveals for once you unlock your goals, but feel free to make up Ted the Tevinter Soldier with a Photo of His Three Kids in His Fantasy Wallet if it lends to your drama.
THINGS WE (EVENTUALLY) NEED FROM YOU:
ICly, one of the characters will be designated as the mission's leader by Flint and Julius. However, we don't particularly want to restrict your play so please A) decide amongst yourself who was picked to be the designated driver, and B) feel free to ICly disregard them for drama/the rule of cool/etc if you feel so inclined.
At the end of the bonus point collection period (8/16), you will all need to agree how you want to spend your points. If you want to spend these and unlock info as you go rather than being info dumped at the end, let us know by commenting here. Just be aware that once you unlock the info for something, you can't re-lock it even if it later turns out you could have min-max'ed your point spending more effectively.
If you successfully capture someone, characters will need to collectively decide how they're dealing with that person(s) in the long term. We've left this purposefully open-ended, so feel free to think laterally. Maybe you want a captive Venatori on hand for a prisoner exchange player plot in the future. Maybe you want to put their heads on spikes and parade them over the army lying in siege outside of Starkhaven to lower morale. The possibilities are endless, just make sure it's accounted for.
Eventually, a report filed in the rookery comm.
In light of us getting this up late, we've bumped back due dates associated with this. The period to collect bonus points will end 8/16, and the report is due by 8/23.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
