BRASS DEVIL: plotting post 2

[ximilian]

● ● ● SEPTEMBER PLOTTING POST: MISSION LOG 2

The time has come to plot for how the heist to get the orb from the Lionetta Main HQ is going to go down! Before you get into planning, here is a quick recap of what has been found out so far:

• The three families were formed from the mining families 200 years ago.

• A magical stone was found in the Alonetti mine, and the mine owner's daughter (who Ti'shaaz calls Ruvia Alonetti), disappeared with it after her parents died. It has also been noted that Alonetti is an anagram for Lionetta.

• Olexa seems to be making a lot of the decisions on her own, without consulting anyone.

• The Lionetta Main HQ sits on the Miniera Ruvida, and it has a door that leads from the mine to the HQ; a key has been found that may or may not be the key to that door.

• Cheri had the gala marked as an anniversary, and is rumoured to be seeing someone.

• The fountain near the HQ is another entrance to the Miniera Ruvida, and there seems to be a secret way out of the Main HQ that at least Olexa uses.

• To get into the Lionetta Main HQ, you need an access badge, and there are security cameras inside the main entranceway. The team also now has access to blueprints of the Main HQ.

· THE HEIST

The second log contains prepping for the heist as well as the heist itself.

Please respond HERE with an idea for how the team could get inside the Main HQ and gather a group who will be doing that. So you could have different groups for those in the mines, those who try to get in through the main entrance, those who try the outside elevator, those who might be providing tech support, those who might be causing a distraction — and so on. Then simply comment to whichever group your character would most likely participate in.

We ask that you do this by Wednesday, September 29, 6PM GMT. This way, the mods have time to include your ideas in the actual log.

The log will contain a variety of prompts to match your plans and allow for multiple ways to enter the Main HQ, as well as prompts for actually infiltrating the Main HQ and the obstacles that come with it. Some of them you already have an idea of, if you look at the search request responses carefully! But be prepared to sneak, to avoid traps (magical and mechanical) and maybe do some fighting as well.

Finally, the second log will offer a chance for two characters to get to the orb. These two will make it to where the orb is kept and will have a chance to actually be the ones to steal it. Note that this will be an NPC thread. If you would like to sign up for this, please comment HERE.


As with the first mission, the conclusion of the mission and the return to the station will come later, halfway in October. As before, that will not be a separate log, so for the latter half of the month when characters are on the station, players are encouraged to make their own logs.

teleportation!

[business]

rhysand can winnow or "teleport" 50ft and take max two people with him inside of lionetta hq — he could make multiple trips, but it's a bit of a big guessing game on whether or not there will be wards/magic protection in place to prevent him from doing so. i figure he'd at least offer that up, for getting into lionetta and bypassing the need for keycards & keys altogether, but there's probably a risk of setting off some security alarms at the invasion. not a very dignified heist plan but if it works it gives stealth and speed 👍 or it bombs the whole operation. risk/reward!!!

[cruelyethuman]

Question - would the darkling's amplifying powers work on Rhys? They work on magic users from Braccia but they drain him. Maybe we could do something with that?

[directrix]

Zelda can also teleport, if it comes to it. Maybe if they do set off alarms, they can distract from the proper heisting.

If nothing else, escape plan?

hello it would be rude not to teleport your wife in!! she's coming with and will be using her amulet to sneak into the HQ. adding this here, too, for a full overview of plans:

alina & rhys & whatever other members of ti'shaaz want to join in will be speaking with finch and an'alya to get her support in moving against lionetta! an'alya will be be giving the group five invisibility amulets that will allow them to move unseen and avoid being detected by any traps or magic for up to thirty minutes. in addition, she'll be mobilizing ti'shaaz mages to disturb the magical barrier around the HQ so anyone with the ability to teleport can pop into the building once they're close enough or do other magic-y things to make their own path in without teleportation, maybe? yeet.

right now three of those amulets are claimed (by daisy, rhys, and alina) but i have two more up for grabs. c: i'd like to get them handed out to other ti'shaaz members, because an'alya will be accompanying rhys and alina into the HQ to eventually go do gang leader things elsewhere and it might look Sketchy to hand them out to someone from a different family.

please let me know if you'd like to snag one here or on plurk!
