march plotting & plot rolls
Hey guys! Getting the plot show on the road, ahead of the 12-13 March update — some of the big-picture mission objectives available:
- ■ finding the babe-eating serpent woman mentioned by Taksui
■ looking into the dark well waters
■ finding out the village links to the feral Beastmaster
Beyond that...
There are three mod-assigned plot rolls/objectives available — — comment here by 23:5 GMT on 11 March to enlist your character.
You can also sign up for a RNG selected conversation with either corrupt village leader Hok-Shinn Weisi or with mysterious blind priestess Hyang-Tai, also by 23:5 GMT on 11 March. The expectation is to try to finish a thread with them by 20 March, if your character is selected — and to share findings with the group, after.
If you want to carry out your own plot or exploration, fill out the below form and try to recruit other other folks into your fun. You can ask for help or a mod roll here, if you want rewards or consequences for something characters try to do (ex: two fools try to burn a volcano. What happens? Heh. )
No ideas? Join someone else's plot!
Regarding ancestral curses — your character's atonement can be as specific or general to the curse story as you want.
Example: if your character is making amends for the wrath/indifference of a daughter-in-law who quietly suffered the nonstop criticism of her new family, until one day she snapped and took an axe to them: you could do story-specific acts of atonement, like finding the remains of the woman's family and making offerings to silence their aggrieved spirits or cleaning the last drop of blood from their decaying house, midway-specific ones like teaching new brides patience or how to cope with nagging in-laws, or more generic solutions, like promoting pacifism worldwide.
Generally, curses are just meant to prompt characters to exit their comfort zones and ice break some new CR — have fun!

BEST CONTACT: Disco @ CellarSpider#9984, Plurk @
CHARACTER: Astarion
PLOT IDEA: People exploring the woods might find dead animals, with a couple of puncture wounds on their necks. Local farmers and homesteads might lose a few in the night as well. With a snake lady slithering around, the bite marks might get blamed on her. But these animals are looking pretty bloodless...
Who could it possibly be? Is it another forest spirit? A cursed townsperson? The pale, red-eyed, fanged elf who just joined the party a week ago? Nobody knows! You've got a mystery to solve! And do it quick--who knows when the killer might turn their sights towards more challenging prey...
WHO/WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE IT HAPPEN: Okay, obviously it's Astarion. But if anybody wants to investigate these goings-on, I'd be happy to help out with that. If anybody wants to run into Astarion under suspicious circumstances or confront him, hit me up!
And if anybody wants to get bitten, I'll be happy to oblige. I'd prefer if there's some CR established beforehand, though.
Let it be noted, Astarion has never actually bitten a thinking creature before, and the first time it happens, it'll be overwhelming for him. There's a fair chance he'll forget to stop without some pointed encouragement.
