FEBRUARY CALENDAR OF EVENTS

Hey, fairybros! As a heads up, the results of the Timeskip Vote results are in, and Eachdraidh will be engaging in a Timeskip of one year. Logging for the timeskip will be done concurrently with the events of Feb, March, and April, and as of May 01 the game will be post-timeskip. We request that each character in the game who is not going to utilise an opt-out mechanism for the entirety of the timeskip to post a timeskip page on their journal. We have constructed a sample timeskip page for you here. The code for it, with all time organisation in-tact, may be taken from the last comment on the page, or may be accessed below:



Players are free to design their own pages, of course, and it can be easily expanded to include additional years. These pages, in addition to organising what happens to your character, shall be used for logging out most of the events of the timeskip at your discretion. For March and April, threads logged on this page can be used to count for AC. We ask that most logs occur on these pages for smaller timeskip events so as not to clutter the log comms for those playing current events in February, March, and April. We will be releasing a game Timeskip Calendar shortly, which will be followed by a timeskip CR meme.

But what about THIS month? Most of you already know exactly what to expect, so, without further ado, your February event!



The Wrath of the Jabberwhelp
GENRE: ACTION/ADVENTURE | DURATION: 07-14 FEBRUARY


SUMMARY The battledrums are beating, the armies are marching, and it was only a matter of time before war covered the drabwurld again. The Seelie armies received orders to push north from the Cathraon, and encounter an entrenched Unseelie force. Details about the battleplan can be found here. Please sign up for a part on the conflict, should you want one, using the roster page. The roster will be finalised by the end of February 01. But as a result of these battles, on February 07 the Jabberwhelp will be released from under Caer Scima, where the High-King had been helping to craft it! In a pain-maddened fury, the Jabberwhelp will fly to the lands of Glaschu and begin to carve a path of great destruction through Seelie lands. After its release, the monarchs will make handwaved proclamations:

Seelie characters will be bade to either 01) keep the Unseelie embattled on the front lines and unable to enter Glaschu to rescue the Jabberwhelp, or to 02) hunt and slay the infant monster by any means possible before its Unseelie allies can rescue it!

Meanwhile, from the ruin of Caer Scima, Unseelie characters will be asked to save the Jabberwhelp at any cost by either 01) engaging the Seelie army and ensuring the Seelie cannot hunt it in force, or 02 riding out into enemy territory to herd it back! They will be informed that the Jabberwhelp will actively resist harming Unseelie chracters. Characters who have maintained friendly relationships with the imps will be told the secret to calming an enraged young Jabberwhelp:

     + Gifts of lavender! For some strange reason, this plant alone resists the Jabberwhelp's aura of rot, and functions rather like catnip.
     + Riddles and puzzles! A young Jabberwhelp is easily distracted and quite gullible.
     + Touch! Juvenile Jabberwhelps cannot control their aura of rot, which is as painful for them to endure as those around them. For those who can endure the discomfort of its aura of rot, petting the Jabberwhelp can calm it substantially, and even lull it to sleep.

The Jabberwhelp has an aura of rot, which will make plants and flesh within a 30m radius of its presence begin to rot. Characters who approach will see their own flesh begin to blacken and slough away. Fleeing from the Jabberwhelp will allow this condition to slowly heal. For most characters, lingering overlong within this aura of rot will be fatal. The Jabberwhelp will actively seek to kill Seelie characters, and flee from Unseelie characters who approach it unless they have learned one of the secrets to calm it.

john grimm & ariadne & the outsider

JOHN is babysitting Caer Glaem while the bulk of the army is away, having seen Arya's vision about the Jabberwhelp and having a general Bad Feeling about sending all your Golden Cadre knights off to hit things in the face. As a result, he'll be there when the Jabberwhelp attacks and will help evacuate -- check out my court leader comment here! He'll also patrol around looking for any Unseelie who may have tried to infiltrate the place.

ARIADNE is going to be on the front lines, Unseelie wave 1, along with her mage cultists and her wolf knight! She'll primarily be playing the rogue class, turning invisible and shanking things with her daggers or hitting them with crossbow bolts, but she'll also use her shadow form and turn into a super fast, super strong horned shadow beast that wants to destroy everything of light. She can sense magical artifacts and shards in this form, too!

THE OUTSIDER will be in Unseelie wave 2! He'll raise some dead people to fight, though he has to concentrate intensely to do this. He'll also just fling magic and blades around wheee. However, I'm really looking for someone who wouldn't mind their mount/pet/familiar/battlebeast being possessed by the Outsider during the battle! The creature will be aware that they're possessed and remember afterwards, hahaha, while the Outsider will try to use it to wreck shit because yolo.
He may or may not also whale flop on people it'll be great.

The Outsider can possess Javik's varren! Just bring them back in one piece, okay.

[personal profile] chromosomes 2015-01-31 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
... you know I was specifically thinking possessing Seelie critters to mess with them but

why not possess the varren just to make them more effective right???

AND YEAH larger animals will be fine, though a bit woozy and disoriented when he leaves their bodies c:
notavirtue: (smile)

[personal profile] notavirtue 2015-01-31 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I figured you meant Seelie stuff, but why the hell not offer them up haha. It's not like he trained them to go for Seelie specifically, so... possessing them might save some Unseelie ankles :I
