player plot: storm the castle

[adlantisag]

Hey, worldhoppers.

Kida's getting pretty fed up with this whole sitting-around-waiting-for-answers situation, so in light of recent events she's heading right for the top of the food chain: Odette's king. Dream big, right?

Of course, she can't do it alone. She'll call upon her CR, but from an ooc perspective, this could be a great opportunity for everyone to snoop! Luckily for me, Kida's not the lone ranger type, and she'll be calling for some action from all her fellow ALASTAIR agents.

While Kida and Riza meet with the king, there are plenty of opportunities for characters to use their skills! We'll need infiltrators to get into the place: teleporters, portal-makers, magic users, rogue classes, people who happen to own invisibility cloaks (you know who you are), etc, go crazy. We'll also need a distraction to keep the guards busy: if you're handy with a weapon, have fun, try not to kill anyone points at eyes points at onyx and gilgamesh.

Since this weekend is the Halloween event, we'd be looking at an early November date for the castle break-in, probably around the 7th depending on the calendar. This plot is on a volunteer basis, IC and OOC, and there's obviously no penalty for sitting things out. If you'd like to participate, put your name in the sign-ups thread and I'll add you! You can also use this post to plot and ask questions.

Thanks for your interest!

QUESTIONS

[adlantisag]

Of the "if my character inspects (the library/the dungeon/the kitchens/IT'S A REALLY BIG CASTLE LET'S USE OUR IMAGINATION), what would they find?" variety--or anything else you might be curious about.

[livedtwice]

Is it possible that Harry could be on call for when if things go badly? He can get there quickly and his magic can break people out of places.

[of_her_own_accord]

Accord may be less actually digging around and more observing silently in the shadows the actions of people in the castle. What are the odds she'll see anything of interest?

[griped]

it has to be asked: will they find anything of cultural interest or secret compartments or other such cool things if they ventured into the wine cellar?

(besides wine, great as that is)

[strictdiscipline]

Here is a question of the "if my character inspects [insert location here]" variety! --

If some people were to check out the library (if there is one) and a few office-type rooms (maybe offices belonging to a few higher-ups), would they find any interesting documents there?

[adlantisag]

Does the castle have a dungeon/catacombs/creepy basement?

If so--anyone in there? Alive or dead or neither!

Would there be anything else of note? Thanks, mod.

SIGN-UPS

[adlantisag]

Just check in here with what you'd like to do!

[of_her_own_accord]

Accord might be able to infiltrate. She's like friggin' Batman half the time in canon anyway, and she may or may not have teleporting skills. It's hard to say.

EDIT: Oh and, uh, if this purchase of hers goes through in the activity bank, there'll be TWO of her.

[powerdriven]

Signing Levi up to help with the distraction over here, yeah!

[onblackwings]

try not to kill people???? what kind of bullshit operation is this >:[

TOTALLY SIGNING UP FOR DISTRACTION, THOUGH

Re: SIGN-UPS

[hellshaped]

despite being a giant moose, HB has a ton of experience creeping around castles, so infiltration X-( though tbh he wouldn't put up much of a fight if someone was like 'no, go stand over there and fight people,' he just wants to help!

[disheartening]

I am offering one queen with magic skills for the INFILTRATION task!

[perma_banned]

Signing up Ban for Infiltration! That is--he won't cooperate with anybody and will take every chance to steal from the kingdom!

[babbylon]

Confirming Gilgamesh for Team Distraction. He will also be presuming himself leader of said team so the rest of you can have fun dealing with that hot mess.

[digophelia]

Alice will be down for team distraction. She'll be have, she promises.

[sediments]

signing up for distraction X(

[unoradinary]

Distraction team here! if she was infiltration she'd ruin it for everyone

[selfimage]

Loki's here to infiltrate. Got u.

[tachiboner]

Confirming Muneshige, and Masamune's player asked me to put him in here since her battery is dying - he's also on Team Distraction!

[norse]

did someone say

a distraction


BUT YEAH thor will likely tag along to see what's what, especially if loki is ferreting around so he can keep an eye on baby bro

[whereismypie]

Would like to sign Dean here up for team distraction if that's alright with you!

PLOTTING

[adlantisag]

this might be useful OOPS

PURL - TEAM DISTRACTION

[beyourrock]

YEAH so Pearl will totally be down for team distraction! She'll be beating up NPCs, trying her best not to hurt them too badly. If anyone wants to do anything specifically with Pearl during this time, lemme know!

riza - team infiltration

[strictdiscipline]

thank you all that military and stealth mission training....

anyway, if anyone's up for some exploring, i'd like to dig around the castle to see what we can find (though i imagine that'll require a little bit of mod input). riza will also probably be hitting up the inboxes of some of her cr as well so if you'd like a quick inbox thing, let me know.

otherwise i'm pretty open to anything. toss me something and i'll roll with it.

[sediments]

we're on opposite teams :(

Accord | Team Infiltration

[of_her_own_accord]

Accord is... subtle. Like, you probably won't even see her popping in and out of rooms. So if anybody wants to be startled by her snarking at you, feel free. Otherwise, her main thing is observation, and recording details.

Note also that there might actually be TWO Accords flitting around in the building...

the huntsman ➶ team infiltration

[dishearten]

Graham is curious and not a big fan of monarchs these days so he'll def be snooping around and trying to figure what caused this war between them and the goblins! I'd be game for him running into someone during OR having a partner in crime while he's snooping!

[strictdiscipline]

I keep meaning to hit Graham up and failing miserably so I'd be happy to offer a (temporary) partner in crime for snooping! Was there anything in particular you had in mind for snooping: trying to eavesdrop on conversations, poke through royal offices for documents, dig through the library for historical records, etc?
