OOC DISCUSSION POST.

DISCUSSION POST Hello, worldhoppers! For those that haven't read the latest IC post by ALASTAIR, please do so here. In short, the Timeline machine has finally distributed the mission objectives: eliminate the deities of Nalawi to maintain stability of this universe. This means taking out both Ryba, the goddess that lives in the ocean, and Nalanni, the missing volcano goddess. Here's a quick recap of events so far: Pomarr, the last Dakal explains the genocide of her people in detail: Nalanni eliminated them with her powers. Ryba resurrected Pomarr, and she plans to offer Nalanni's powers to Ryba to do the same for her people. This information is available on the network to all recruits. The Nalawi themselves did not participate in the genocide, but they will were at war with the Dakal and celebrate Nalanni's presence. Their numbers are currently suffering as their powers dwindle to nothing. Ryba's cultists are responsible for several deaths on the main island, as well as holding some ALASTAIR recruits hostage, and is gaining traction amongst the desperate population. This OOC post is for discussion on what to do moving forward; we'll be putting up a poll on May 18th and keeping it open for 72 hours, and for fairness' sake we will go with majority rule for the result. Though the NPC is announcing the official ALASTAIR objectives, ultimately characters are allowed to do as they please! Be warned that different results will have different IC consequences, but ALASTAIR will not force characters to follow their objectives. They only guarantee that if both goddesses are eliminated, this world will continue to exist. Note, however, that this planet must have two goddesses or zero. It cannot sustain itself with just one. INDEX Nalanni: Volcano goddess; goddess of the rock (land). Granted the Nalawi powers ("Gifts") in exchange for love and devotion. Defended her volcano from the Dakal by destroying their civilization and wiping them out. Kidnapped by Pomarr; her disappearance has led to powers fading both from the Nalawi and from recruits. If she is killed, the sea goddess must also be destroyed. As Ryba mentioned, the world can only function with two or no goddesses. Nalawi: People of Nalanni. Diminutive deer people who have been at war with the Dakal for centuries, prior to their extinction. Now that they are without Gifts, they don't know how to fend for themselves and are growing desperate. Dakal: An extinct race of technologically advanced cat people who lived to the west of the Nalawi islands. Worshipped no gods. After attacking Nalanni's volcano, they suffered her wrath. Now extinct, their land is at the bottom of the ocean. Pomarr: A Dakal who was a teacher in life. She has been raised from the dead by Ryba in exchange for her soul. Her goal is to siphon Nalanni's power in order for Ryba to have the energy necessary to raise the rest of the Dakal into undeath. She recently held Nalanni captive in the volcano Nalalona but was forced to escape with her prisoner after the recruits meddled too closely. Her existence is linked to Ryba. Ryba, the devouring one: Sea goddess. Raised Pomarr from the dead in exchange for her soul. Requires sacrifice of souls in order to grant power to others. Ate the souls of all lesser gods in this world. If she is killed, another sea goddess must take her place or the volcano goddess must also be destroyed. As Ryba mentioned, the world can only function with two or no goddesses. Feel free to ask us any questions in the subthread below! We will avoid spoiling the outcome, but can clarify minor points that have not been addressed already.

so stiles is so here for killing the goddesses -- or, you know, less here for the killing and more for the world not being destroyed entirely. not that he can do much to help, at least not in the fighting part, i mean, have you seen this guy, sarcasm is literally his only defense.

despite that though he'll try his best to do something, and by "something" i mean "probably go off in search of more bomb ingredients in case they need to blow up the goddesses", don't knock the idea okay molotov cocktails should never be underestimated. so basically he's here for strategics, SCIENCE, form a club with badass normals?? flail loudly at those who tell him teenagers shouldn't get involved? idk man have at me!!

[dbag]

BADASS NORMAL HERE-- jk just a regular normal but if stiles wants help looking for bomb ingredients, rhys got ingredients for the original bomb so he knows where to find em

[figureitout]

[ricksybusiness]

HEY... hey. i heard "science" so lemme in here!!! rick can help build bombs, or rather shove stiles aside and make him watch as he builds bombs

[figureitout]

YESSS i'd love this!! i'm gonna put up a network post with stiles making bombs and probably asking for help with them because let's be real here, so rick is more than welcome to build bombs with him c: .... or take over the building process that is fine too lmao
