THE DIE IS CAST: plotting post + sign-ups
● ● ● JANUARY PLOTTING POST: MISSION LOG 2
The time has come to reveal some of the upcoming plot developments regarding the second log. Before we get into planning, here is a quick recap of what has been discovered so far:
• The Songbird Brigade used to be led by Dweyre Foirbys, Degar’s older brother.
• There was an accident that led to Dweyre’s death, which Degar has never quite forgiven himself for.
• Jun Shortaxe was recruited by Degar, and he led the second try of the Songbird Brigade, seemingly the closest party to get to the King’s heirloom. They were ambushed in the Silver Caverns where Jun was badly injured. He blames Ellia Roundtree for a spell aimed at him.
• The spell in question is unique to Ellia, as it is one of her own crafted spells.
• The Silver Caverns, the location where the King’s heirloom was last seen, are far more dangerous than anyone expected and are full of monsters.
• Shortly thereafter, the Songbird Brigade broke up. Fribbington began to run her own tavern in Lisleberg, and she seems to hold ill feelings towards what had transpired, especially where Jun Shortaxe is concerned.
• The Great Mulgrowe believes that the failure of their task had been an accident.
• The creatures in the Forests of Gha’har seem to believe that there is a dark presence south of the forests that hunts for sport and fun.
• The King’s vault revealed that there may have been a thief from the inside of the court of Alydhion that stole the heirloom. The heirloom is also disguised in the shape of a sceptre.
• There are implications that the king may have had a deal with the orb.
• There are rumours that Ellia Roundtree may be hiding within Alydhion under a disguise.
• There was an accident that led to Dweyre’s death, which Degar has never quite forgiven himself for.

· THE LOG + THE SIGNUPS
The log itself will begin with Jun Shortaxe, Alena Ironspear and the Great Mulgrowe who have found a lead for the heirloom. They will gather with the party of Ximilia’s orbers and travel towards the supposed location of King Zaros’ heirloom in South Naelor.
There will be three different ways to travel into S. Naelor where they will have to face whatever unknown obstacles they may meet in order to get to the supposed orb’s location. As such, characters will need to decide whether to travel with Jun on the roads, with the Great Mulgrowe in the wilderness, or with Alena by teleportation. The log itself will consist of confronting these obstacles and helping each other in order to lock down the heirloom’s location and retrieve it. In order to get past these obstacles, the team will have to utilize the special traits of their classes and races.
There will be a sign-up for finding the orb. We will RNG two (2) slots for this. The thread will be a three-way thread, with the mods providing the context and possible NPC involvement. If you would like the chance to find the orb, please sign up HERE by January 31, 6PM GMT.
There will also be one NPC thread. We will RNG one (1) slot for this. If you would like for a chance to thread with the NPC in question, please sign up HERE by January 31, 6PM GMT.
There will be a voting post in February regarding the conclusion.
