Everwatch Monthly Update IV (Dec/Jan)
The Big Take Over
Oskar here, and hello once again Everwatch and those eyes... those curious eyes which look on from the darkness. Hello to you, stranger.
Now that we're done with that creepy greeting, let's move on to some substance, yes? Yes... we all agree that it's the best course of action.
This past month, Everwatch was taken over! Oskar was injured on a mission which Deirdre (the player) DM'ed. She's actually done a few very interesting DM'ed missions for the rest of us this past month, so thanks, I guess
But on /that/ one, where Everwatch was sent to obtain a very sacred box for the Order of the Twin Adder, which was sailing on a ship, down in the cargo hold, where there were caged dragons and other treasures, Oskar got got! If you're not familiar with slang, that means he was shot. In the chest, too – so that's been fun to RP out! My main character fighting for his life, undergoing withdrawal from the bites of “Muravye†ants (a drug I've made up), and is now crippled for the near future. Fun times, thanks a lot Deirdre.
But in his stead, a plot was hatched IC'ly to have someone else take hold of Everwatch. His name is Ildorath Ver'honu, and he is a bad, bad man. We've had fun with a little story-arch where Everwatch took a turn for the illegal activities! A quick list of which is escorting moko grass caravan (during which Deirdre gave birth), helping a fake Gil manufacturer get his pyrite, making Syesta construct pistols instead of her usual work, and other very very shady activity.
Speaking of Syesta, she has started a storyline of her own, latest event having us fight against a number of Imperial mercenaries, and discovering something new about her in the process!
Eva has been in a slumber for a while (conveniently over the holidays!) due to her overuse of aether on one occasion. Her father has also been ill, and so not much of Eva was seen this past month. All of that will change over the course of the next month, as she rises to power and makes entire Eorzea fall the knee underneath her menacing glare... what? No, I am getting word now that this will not be happening. But hopefully we will see more of her next month!
Bad news, Deirdre has been ousted from the watch! Don't worry, this is purely IC – attempting to thwart the leader would do that. There was just way too much bad blood between Oskar and Deir, and going into here would be a major downer, so I wont! Find our for yourselves, read the journals
Aside from RP, we've also tackled on endgame. Some of us got a few wins over Ifrit and loot to show for it. A coffer run yielded Gunther a cap he wanted, Syesta got her third rank fifty, and I was shocked/amused by how easy Darkhold is now. We still haven't taken on the Moogle King, though. We're coming for you!

Welcome to our new members!

We hope you enjoy what we do here, and contribute your own bit of RP into the melting pot. I'm very excited about new members in general, the more we have the more things we can accomplish! This batch though, they are something else. We'll have to wait till the next update to see what they've been up to!
Monthly Mentions
Poll of the month: This month's poll asked members what their character's views on the shady activities in the past month is in retrospect, and the results:
Favorably: 1
Neutral: 3
Unfavorably: 3
So it seems there is one bad apple in the bunch, but hey, the rest seemed to at least not to care! That's good... right? I mean, we're okay... we're okay...
Report of the month: Wailers Report from Interrogating Imperials from Syesta's event, “The Exiled Engineer“
When the Wailer who accompanied the group, Dmitry (who I RP'ed as) went out of his way to stun or knock out the Imperials, I did not see Syesta (the player) then writing up a whole report on behalf of the Wailers who apprehended the evildoers. Great work there as always and furthers the story even more! Woot!
Journal of the month: Eva's journal
Someone who deserved a monthly journal mention for a while now, Eva consistently dishes out interesting and insightful journal entries which also sum up the activities of the covered time frame extremely well. I urge you, if you haven't, check them out. They're amazing!
A Glance Ahead
Everwatch which now has returned back into Oskar's hands, will continue to do what it can for the Twelveswood and the realm at large. The next few weeks will be dedicated to strengthening the core of the Linkshell, more endgame, as well as reaching out to other groups! I will also be working on setting up a brand new RP podcast, so stay tuned for more news about that! See you all next month, toodles~
