May 2020 Plotting Post

Welcome to the newest event! This is an exciting time and the event provides several chance encounters for your characters. Remember, everyone, all things in this game has consequences so don't think this will be the last you hear of this event.

Or maybe it will be. What do we know?

If you would like to plot or plan for any encounters, feel free to use the form below and post around! Have fun with this event. Use it to explore whatever you like of the town or make IC connections. Enjoy!

Summary of Event

Deerington is brought to war by the invasion of orcs and wargs, but they will have time to prepare their weapons and find horses to fight with. Robots and ents will aid in the battle. Ents will tell of a mysterious woman one can hope to find under the moonlight at the lake. This has opened up a memory event. The memory event is 100% optional and has to do purely with the origin story of Deerington. Please heed the warnings as the memory has many sensitive topics.

Event Prompts in summary:

Prompt 1: "See The World For What it Truly Is": The world goes black and white and characters must find themselves to restore to the color around them.

Prompt 2: "No Admittance Except on Party Business": Hobbits and the ravens throw a party on the Golf Course. People can find horses, weaponry, and armor there. They can also find fireworks and a lot of really good food.

Prompt 3: "They Come for Blood": Orcs and wargs come to fight Deerington and infest the Enchanted Forest.

Prompt 4: "The Enchanted Forest Prevails": Sleepers can find creepy centipede ladies and magical swords in the lake if they try hard enough.

Prompt 5: "The Trees Speak": Ents come to help fight wargs and orcs and forge alliances with Sleepers.

Prompt 6: "They Who Stand Guard": Robots stay behind in Deerington to keep people safe from wargs and orcs.

Questions for the Memory

[sodder]

Questions for the memory event go here.

[11calls]

Alex received Sodder's Mirror from the raffle. If she uses it on the queen, would it work to medusa her? I know she needs to be killed through blunt or magical weapons, but would the Medusa hold her in place long enough for people to be able to do it?

[sodder]

It would stun/turn her to stone temporarily, but only for 10-20 seconds and that could definitely be used as a way to get in a killing blow if used smartly. She will become flesh again after that time is up, and it will take a minute or two for the mirror to work again. The Queen is smart and may try to knock the mirror/weapons out of people's hands with blood.

Could you clarify what you mean by antler/dream weapons/defense mechanisms for the memory event? Mostly not sure what constitutes a 'dream weapon' (weapons acquired in Deerington, blessings basket gifts, Great Sleep weapons, etc.). Thanks!

[sodder]

Weapons from canon rewarded to characters through blessing baskets are just canon items. Any items gained specifically through Deerington/Sodder because of Deerington are dream items.

I always ask questions and feel like such a goober but here we go again.....

Since a lightsaber cauterizes wounds when it cuts and keeps blood from escaping, would it be any more effective against fighting the Queen than a normal weapon since will keep her blood from being shed when attacking her? Or be about the same as any weapon that isn't an antler/dream weapon/etc.?

[sodder]

Questions are good!

Yes it would likely be more effective in fighting against the Queen though not as effective as an antler/dream weapon.
