NOVEMBER CALENDAR OF EVENTS

Hey, fairybros! November is a BIG MONTH in term of game developments! First, we'd like folks who have NPC/Black Shuck threads to know that these will be carried out to a sensible conclusion!

Secondly, we'd like to introduce the details on the time skipping mechanic! Please go here to review the info and ask any and all questions! Note that as a result of questions and interaction with the game's community, we may update or modify the mechanic, so please check back frequently!

As a note, the Quest Request will be opened in just a few days, with an ETA of November 05! This will be our first batch, and the mod team will approach all participants for the first month for criticism/reviews of the process en masse at the end of the month. We're not entirely sure how to gauge participation at this point, but expect that requests will be closed if it reaches unmaneagable levels, especially with the holiday at the end of the month.

With that in mind, we're also going to put out a blanket notification that all mods are likely going to have spotty activity for holidays this and next month, so as a general rule, expect that we may spend a little more time getting to requests and replies.


The Uprising Dead
GENRE: ACTION/ADVENTURE | DURATION: 01-07 NOVEMBER


SUMMARY All over the land, unmarked graves are blooming with green sod and bright, fragrant tulips. The fairies whisper that Black Shuck is returning the Long Dead to the notice of the land, and will urge everyone to rebury the bones of champions in the crypts of the castles before fourteen days have passed. The fairies won't say why, but will be moved to tears if their pleas are not carried out. Even the imps will be frantic over the accomplishment of this task. The monarchs will issue decrees for each shard-holder to follow the instructions of the fae. On the seventh day, midway through the deadline, they will be persuaded by the monarchs to speak plainly: Black Shuck wants his dead honoured by Caer Glaem and Caer Scima alike, even within the Station's mile radius. If the mounds are not exhumed and the contents properly laid to rest, the Dog of Death will lay a sickness on the six lands.

Characters need not accomplish this; those that do may receive special recognition, while those who don't may receive unforeseen consequences!



The Uprising Dead
GENRE: ACTION/ADVENTURE | DURATION: 15-21 NOVEMBER


SUMMARY The tulip mounds rot with the sunrise of the fifteenth day. From them rise up large spectral dogs with blank fiery eyes that roam the six realms and attack anyone with a shard. These, the monarchs will inform the realms, are the restless souls claimed by Black Shuck, cast out and damned until felled by the fearless; the trouble with slaying the hungry beasts lies in their ability to inspire ones greatest terrors to grip the heart. As a result, they are difficult to destroy. A royal command will be issued to all shard-holders, instructing them to fortify the castles and all those who are able to ride out and destroy the demonic dogs. Seelie and Unseelie alike will be granted a royal favour at the end of the month.

Since this is not a mass event, players are encouraged to plan and plot among themselves, and set up their own logs as appropriate!

HICCUP is due to hang with Han Solo at some point for a post-Samhain detox with science but I'd also really like for him to go and investigate the sheer size of Mair and its territories from the skies, to spy on Ganon. Also, fuck those dogs, they're getting plasma-blasted if anyone wants to team up for that; HICCUP ON AIR CONTROL?? \o\

THRANDUIL With my work hours increasing/holidays coming up/family stress I'm starting to get overwhelmed with two characters in-game atm, so Thran will take a backseat since he isn't my main and probably just wind up defending Caer Glaem. I'm happy to poke him into open logs here and there, if anyone wants him, but I'm really not looking to burn myself out and he's easy to do that with. I was going to have him do some quests but I just physically don't have that many hours in the day alongside my job and playing Hic, sobs and plays a tiny violin. So, yes, Thrandad bunking down until I can figure out how to strike a balance. CASTLE CAMEOS.

It's Thalia's luck to get injured while fighting so maybe Katsa can come to her rescue and they can be fighting partners? Thalia would probably ask her to stay with her and fight side by side until she can fight better on her own which could lead to some friendship/companions moments and if they both have a temper some sass too

How effective would it be to smite the smiledogs*? I mean, Vol'jin canonically has a "destroy undead" thing he can do, so I'm wondering.

*yes i am totally going to call them that.
of course, i would also have to try to determine his Greatest Fearstm.
enjoymyatelier: actually, it totally will. (aha! a plan that will not end in failure)

Re: bones, since Kayneth's going to be starting his ruin errands this month and will be poking around down there, I noticed that there are some skeleton/corpses in the underground lake that were never properly buried. Are those ones that Black Shuck is concerned with, or are they... not to be bothered?

Vol'jin

[personal profile] ziggyzoggy 2014-11-01 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Given that he's somewhat limited in the area he can travel quickly (since it's a big map and he has no teleport option), Vol'jin is probably staying close to Caer Scima, so if there's any bones nearby, that's probably where he'd find them. Unless he can hitch a ride with someone, of course.

The other option is reinforcing the keep there, medical assistance during/after battles, and suchlike.
