CALLING ALL SEELIE
Hello everyone!
As you may be aware, the Unseelie are currently transporting a prisoner known as Raonil (or Isengrim) to Maupertius.
Having found this out through Unseelie leaks Lancelot urged Kaldur to tell Ridire, who said 'well go get him then'. Since Kaldur was busy, he kindly bounced that task back into Lancelot's lap.
(Thanks bro.)
So Lancelot will be looking for volunteers! However, since he has been warned there may be an Unseelie spy in the ranks he will not be advertising that -- he will be doing it subtly.
What This means:
★ Lancelot will advertise that he is now helping Seelie Marshal Gwenllian and they are going to have training sessions. These will be Open to All Skill Levels. It will be made a point of that if you have never held a weapon you can come and learn. If you are an expert, Lancelot can help you learn Shard Manipulation which he learnt form Reynard. That will boost the strength/speed/etc of your character!
★ Lancelot and Gwenllian will then make a private assessment based on the way everyone who turns up behaves and go to some people to recruit them into the negotiation/ambush team. They will not inform this team of the later part of the plan. Everything will be a little need-to-know to try and avoid leaks where possible.
★ Lancelot and Gwenllian will also start to recruit for another team who, if the first team succeed, will be a second ambush on Reynard using Raonil/Isengram as bait. Note that No success is guaranteed on getting hold of Raonil so this team may need to stall or regroup or do something else but Lancelot will need to get one prepared regardless because he is planning ahead.
★ Lastly, there will be a final plan, that only a few people will be aware of, to regroup everyone (+ possibly a few extra trusted people) to make an attempt to claim Maupertius if this all success.
Full Plan with other details and considerations is here for the curious. Nothing is set in stone -- this is the plan being made ICly and it can ICly fail at any point and disaster can descend. I cannot stress this enough!
SO.
Tell me what you would like to do! PLEASE NOTE you can absolutely come to training and not get involved in anything else. The training will be set up as an open log so you can hang about with anyone else getting taught by a friend who volunteers or by Lancelot or whoever! I want this to be a good opportunity for everyone to mingle, as well as get involved in other things!
If your character cannot attend the training but you would like them taught at another time, they can contact Lancelot to ask. Equally, if they would not ICly turn up but you want them trained or volunteered let me know and we can fashion a way to drag them sideways into it.
However, I'd like to get an idea of how many people are coming and if you'd be interested in putting them forward for any stage of the plan so we can gauge how things might go trying to gamble on getting Raonil off the Unseelie.

TEXT AREA TIME:
tbh I just like using this icon
just fyi Raonil is a PoW but he's also charged with war crimes by the unseelie, so he's pretty much a grey area himself too! He's been kept in a dungeon prison for ages, and is clearly mad, but he's charged with murder (including children).
But at the same time Lance is pretty convinced he's being delivered to reynard as payment and may well be tortured.
But Lance partially wants to use him as bait
SO. You can't get more complicated grey area than this.
it's a very nice icon
Steve's all for people answering for their crimes, but would still have his questions about a fair trial and be "no" on the torture. All the grey area though. I love it.
isnt it just
also Raonil doesn't even remember who he is so he doesn't even remember these alleged crimes.
But he is very angry but you know I guess you would be too if you were kept in a dungeon for ages. I think he asked the Seelie who met him last to either release him or kill him SO, YOU KNOW.
no subject
and oh my god. that would be a whole new level of awful if i had steve canon updated. alleged killers who don't remember who they are...
awkward laughter.
