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.

May's event prelude can be found here. The result of the raffles can be found here.

Martin Blackwood | The Magnus Archives

[lonelynotforsaken]

Character Name: Maritn Blackwood
Preferred Player Contact: switalia or PM.
OOC Limits: I would prefer not to kill Martin for this event, but bring on the beatdown/physical injury.

Desired CR: Any and all. Some allies would really be nice, and people who can help him get a little self-love going. Martin's bad about appreciating himself. Mostly his life is devoted to other people.
Unwanted CR: Everything's good with me!

Event Ideas:
Color
Martin is pretty good at appreciating things. People are a little harder for him these days, but he'll probably be able to help with stuff around town. His own self-worth issues are baked in, so he'll be grayscale for a while, even while trying to encourage self-love in others. If anyone wants to have a 'you're awesome, just believe in yourself'-type thread or two, that would be sweet.

Party
Martin... is gonna get some basic armor for himself and encourage others because WAR SOUNDS BAD??? He's a little terrified of trying to ride a horse, but a gray one is going to hop a fence and follow him around. Lemme know if you want to do a thread of Martin and maybe your character both getting harried by horses who have claimed them.

Orcs
Martin will be working to barricade his house after the first orc attack. He actually got supplies for reasons exactly like this! He's not a fighter, so he won't be going into the forest to fight orcs. He'll also want to see about setting up traps at the edge of town for the orcs, so if you have an engineering/building/clever-type character, maybe they can work together?

Lady of the Lake/Forest
Martin will probably miss out on this unless someone pulls him into the forest. He doesn't want to deal with the orcs in there.

Ents
Martin is a patient bean, so he'll be able to get to the Woman in White. It's info he'll pass along to anyone who's seeming to be frustrated by the Ents.

Robots
Martin is going to try to save a robot from orcs/wargs that are piling in on it and desperately need help, if anyone would like to throw in to assist him!

Hey Martin, wanna help Gee find some value in who he is now vs. who he might have been before? Because he's kind of hung up on it.

[lonelynotforsaken]

Martin can definitely give it a go trying to convince Gee! Hey, we're always changing and adapting, buddy. He's not the same person he was a few years ago, either.

[labyrinthinedark]

Martin you are a gem and too good for this world. And most others.

[lonelynotforsaken]

Were you going to set up your own TL for this event, or shall I pull something together for them?

[labyrinthinedark]

he's got a TL right here!

[obeir]

K's here for finally getting to kill some shit the robot-saving! Martin being awesome about protecting the robot will be very nice for K to see. I think it could also possibly veer into helping Martin with some colour-recovery at the same time? Maybe? K may not be the best emotional support robo but he tries, with the people he cares about. :'>

[lonelynotforsaken]

I mean... He'll do his best, but he's not that awesome. Definitely love the idea of K and Martin calming down with some emotional pep-talking.

[obeir]

Aww, buddy. Awesome in the "cares about robots" sense! Which Martin definitely is. If his combat prowess might be a bit... lacking lol, that's fine; K's got this. I'm totally open to Martin getting his badass moments too and saving K from a close call and/or helping take out orcs in unconventional ways.

[lonelynotforsaken]

We shall see how the battle goes! Are you going to have a TL for K, or shall I set something up for us?

[obeir]

I don't have one up yet, so I'll tag into yours if you do! I also don't mind setting up a closed log/prompt somewhere.

[entreats]

ange is definitely not the engineering type, but she does pick up on stuff quickly and would actually be all for his idea of setting up traps! maybe she can catch wind of his idea somehow and offer to help out? (while both being grayscale probably because what is self love...)

[lonelynotforsaken]

Aw, yes! I can have Martin call for her help on setting a thing and that can maybe lead into a discussion for what he's doing and her ideas for different traps. Are you planning to have a TL for the event, or shall I set something up for her in my log?

[entreats]

I'm not planning on making a toplevel, so something being set up in your log would be great! That setup sounds perfect for it too, haha. c: Since Ange would definitely be worried about the orc problem despite trying to act all nonchalant, so I'm sure the discussion would head there.

[lonelynotforsaken]

Top Level! Let me know if I need to change anything.
