ALEM

---

Sound the drums, head on to war — seized citadel Alem has already been there for the lion's share of a year.

Under the Scavengers' guidance, the four sand worms the party captured gently graze underground corridors allowing the group to reach halfway up Mount Attevar. From there, they quickly infiltrate Alem through a bustling trade route.

Young King Deimar strikes a simple bargain: serve Alem in its bitter last days until inevitable downfall, and the citadel will grant access to its Beacon before the final evacuation is completed.

Sounds simple enough. Now, survive it.

Characters arrive today, with our first proper taste of event chaos due on 27-28 January. Get your character settled in, check out the setting and their assignment, and strike some CR:

pietro gets bonus points because wanda's his sister...right......

guy friendships are important, especially if pietro's bound to learn some time that he dies for real. starts taking notes on being a vampire lifestyle

[speechy]

ehhh a half-point? to be decided.

OH GOD. please don't learn from spike's terrible example. pietro's notes: wear black nail polish and get thrown around a lot

[margenes]

fair enough

GET THROWN AROUND A LOT AJWIPEJF poor spike.. listen, i think this could be solid

[speechy]

he likes brawling with forces that are stronger than him, he's fine.

i think they will be troublemakers. can't wait!

[somebadnews]

Only if you promise we can make it messy. They deserve a little something.

[somebadnews]

What do you mean most adults don't eat fluffernutters?? Society makes no sense. (But yes please do, someone needs to take charge of getting him to eat solids so he doesn't die. How did you survive in the apocalypse, Five...)

[soloritur]

Yes! Very happy to throw Marcos and Allison together in any situation. Marcos desperately needs to get reacquainted with her new... haircut... He's been with Lorna for years, he Understands anger issues okay.

[soloritur]

Absolutely yes. Marcos has a child with his sort-of-sister so he should definitely get invited to those family dinners. Which are happening. In this situation.

Marcos will enjoy how refreshingly familiar Pietro's power is. And assume he's a mutant who doesn't know he's a mutant, it happens.

[soloritur]

I would love that! I'm really hoping to get Marcos involved more this arc, so it's a convenient time for them to meet. Marcos is 100% going to do better at talking to the shady folks let him save you from yourself Doctor.

[faceblocker]

That's great sis /absolutely did not just disassociate for 5 seconds where are we

[faceblocker]

probably especially weird since she takes food from the Doctor a lot. pls enjoy. left wherever his sleeping/working area is

what's this about a goat

[valeas]

i failed hard at our last attempt but i still desperately want things with you ):

the violence and its aesthetics we spoke of included

[faceblocker]

Vi wants to look at her potions she is curious

what does this do

[valeas]

i feel like ridiculously op witch needs to meet ridiculously op goddess that thinks she's a witch.

hello, i play an obscure lady ('tis for the best, trust me) but what is important to know about her at this moment is she has a lot of twin issues, of the 'my twin was dead and now she isn't' variety

[faceblocker]

both. it's the complete spa day package for ya girl's biwakening

if Vi forgets herself for 5 seconds because she's all hyped up kicking ass and drops a flirt, like

maybe jinx will be distracted and won't notice :) but if she does hey sorry about that

[valeas]

oh goodness lmao the whole series is sure a ride, i half feel like apologizing

but yes, i'm excited also! they can do a violence, as a treat

[valeas]

how much do i love it was kamala that named the good boy, tho

[faceblocker]

obviously that just means she needs to practice! not as if Vi would let anyone else give it a go

wait isn't there a siege going on what are we doing oh yeah haha right back to battle

[valeas]

i love all our witchy plans but also i really do need vi things

'beat up anything else she can get her hands on' sounds like a good therapy session i'm js

[valeas]

- Have a talk with Emilia

you forgot to add this king

[faceblocker]

hey girl whatcha fighting over there :)

maybe she can have a moment of saving Merrin's ass too

[valeas]

and um yes

i need that visual, actually dropping in don't mind her

[valeas]

[valeas]
