PLOT ROLLS | JUNE

[groundrules]

Hello, hello! The latest plot rolls are now live, linked below. They cover events between 22 June and 5 July.

As a reminder: everyone can participate, even if you didn't sign up. The recommendation is to choose one plot roll, to avoid getting overwhelmed — but no one's the boss of you.

You can make your own network posts, or play things out in the logs linked below.

NPC threads have been allocated, but threads will go up within the next few hours — you'll receive a relevant link at the time.

Feel free to use this post for all your plotting needs.

■ THE SUNKEN | LOG | Questions | Plotting

■ THE DISSENT | LOG | Questions | Plotting

■ THE CONCORD | LOG | Questions | Plotting

■ THE PRIESTS | LOG | Questions | Plotting

While much of the events overlap in terms of timeline, loosely you are looking at: the Sunken (towards the edges of the Crossing), the Concord, then the Priests (as the ships deepen their journey into the Crossing). The Dissent takes place more broadly throughout.

QUESTIONS

[groundrules]

We don't talk about Bruno's dead things.

ASK THE DEAD

[groundrules]

Except we totally talk about dead things.

Ask at most two-three questions/characters of the spirit you end up parlaying with here. Please be specific.

To keep things plot timely, let's aim for last questions by end of play on 2 July.

I'm not sure if it will be necessary, but regarding the bottle miniature of the lifeboat that Jim got to steal collect, which contained the note "break at sea": Jim's thinking it might grow into a real-size lifeboat if he does that, would that be what happened?

[groundrules]

Yes, Alice.


Don't sue us, Disney.

[winscenario]

Other than talking to Maximilian Hawk, Jim will watch what's happening on the ship, take notes of what he deems important, and if/when they get to a point that they have to make an escape, he'll try to go for the diving suits and the steampunk boat.

Jim also has a magical miniature lifeboat in a bottle that will turn into a real-sized lifeboat if he breaks it, so it's a nice back-up plan if they can't get on that boat or if it's sunk by the Concord.

He'll also openly take suggestions on what to tell Hawk, and what to ask him if he gets the chance.

[winscenario]

Shh, we won't tell. Ehehe.

Re: QUESTIONS

[techmaturgy]

Hello,

1. I would like to volunteer Viktor for a supervised trip to the medbay on the grounds of, you know, needing the medbay. is there anything there of note maybe to steal on the way out

2. if he brings the bird is that going to be an Issue

[groundrules]

Hahhahahhahahahhahahhahaaaa his bird

Re: QUESTIONS

[groundrules]

1. Yes. Absolutely. A number of potions, brews, medical instruments (which, you have two trained doctors now, they could do with it), and a curious amount of opiates

2. .........................who could possibly say anything against the emotional support seagull?

[techmaturgy]

good news everyone: viktor will fix the boat. Probably that's what he'll spend most of his time doing, if anyone would like to join him. Otherwise he'll just be chilling, and snooping, and scoping out fun things to get his hands on (fancy navigation equipment, anyone )?

he's also going to, uh, liberate what he can from the the medbay on his way out.

[downswing]

I am going to try my damnedest to top level for this, but mostly I really want Wangji to punch a shark. His abilities will be woefully inadequate underwater, but his dexterity with............ killer string......... could help around coral reefs and other prickly places, if your character needs to be quite literally carved out of a trap!

Let me know if you want to do anything in particular \o/

...or just want an underwater souvenir, I guess!

[groundrules]

Actually, in all seriousness — let's add a set of finalised crutches (with some leeway to set the height level of the handle), some bandages and some basic crutch wood materials to the med cabin. Could be Viktor needs them (or a cane) in his future, and you never know when he'll get to restock. The Concord's likelier to have the goods than a pirate vessel, so we shouldn't do him dirty.

You might want to coax some help with liberating heavier goods, though.

[bravelyrunsaway]

What toiletries is he liberating before their respectful flight from the Concords?
