[Coatleque]

I'll be there for Open Action Block 2

[Khunbish Avagnar]

Sign me up for discreet adventurers

[LystAP]

Willing to be a fill-in for Discreet Adventurers.

[Leanne]

Open Action Block 1! And Brass Blade Bullies on the Horizon cause I was there last tiiime. But if it aint possible, Discreet Adventures. If that's not possible, reservation in Brass Blade thingie.

[Zaphir Zurlac]

Aw man, I didn't see this before. I'll sign up for Discreet Adventurers, if I can't help finish the escort.

 

EDIT: Or, since I seem to have posted late, I'll understudy for Brass Blade Bullies.

[Zaheela]

I may do the D.A.R, but it may be better if i went in as a reserve. I need to actually update my sheet with that sig. ach from the other event... but i tend to forget.

[Khunbish Avagnar]

I have to bow out of the discreet individual event as I have another scheduled event that's going on that honestly, makes 1000% more sense for him to be at.

[Nihka]

Open Action Block 3(Wednesday June 15^th, 9pm Central through 11pm Central)

Open Action Block 4(Saturday June 18^th, 4pm Central through 6pm Central)

Open Action Block 5(Tuesday June 21^st, 9pm Central through 11pm Central)

 

These are not events, per se. A lot of this plot relies onthe players taking initiative and engaging in small investigations into that which hooked their interest. To this end, I will be available during these time periods to help resolve actions outside of events, for those who wish to participate.

 

If you have an investigation that you suspect may take a bitof time to work through, then try and be here for this. I don’t intend to run scenes of length during this time period; if the investigation looks like it’s going to take a long time, we may discuss turning it into a full event to run at a later time.

 

If you have some investigation you’re thinking of lookinginto but aren’t able to make this block, I implore you to send me a PM on the RPC. It might be possible to resolve it with a single roll, in which can I can send you the relevant information nice and quick.

OoC Note: This is not an event, per se. Requests for actionstowards this goal may be made in the linkshell while I am available, or through RPC private messages. If multiple players wish to hunt together, we can work to try and find an appropriate time to run the event.

 

Yes, I know there are not any actual scheduled events. Lifehas gotten in the way of being able to dedicate enough time to create events. However, I’m not letting this plot die, and I invite you to investigate any of the incidents that have already occurred. Some players have already found hooks into this plot. If you don’t have a hook and you are interested in getting involved, just talk to me. I have a few ideas that might work. I’m absolutely willing to run events based on things your characters want to do. Be proactive.

[Verad]

I'll be available for the Open Action Blocks.

[111]

I want to tentatively sign up for action block three, though I'll have to speak to my co-conspirators.

[Caspar]

I can be around for open action blocks too

[Aya]

Aya's got her hook at last! I'm looking forward to this

Events:

Where the Hammer Fell (Thursday, July 14^th, 9pm Central)

1. Kiht Jakkya

2. S'imba Tia

3. Arblis

 

Local brass blades are stumped by the recent demolition ofseveral of the massive hammers set out to flatten the sands of Western Thanalan. Initially thought to be simple hardware malfunction, attempts to repair the machines have been thwarted by continued sabotage in the night.

 

Three brass blades set out to guard one of the remainingworking hammers wound up suffering severe burns when an unknown assailant attacked, and are currently convalescing in the Ul’dah barracks. The local levemete has issued a bounty for adventurers willing to investigate the issue.

 

 

Murder on the Dove (Saturday, July 16^th, 7:30pm Central)

1. Simeon

2. Malin Greaves

3. Leanne

 

Beginning to become a common sight in Vesper Bay is The Dove.The ship has been docked in the bay for the past two moons, caught in a bureaucratic tangle of legal fees, proper repair procedure, and bogus shipping licensing claims.

 

Rumors have started to spread that the captain of this ship was found murdered in a back alley in Vesper Bay. This might be an excellent opportunity for some amateur sleuths to ply their trade, whether the local brass blades want them to or not!

[Knight Kat]

Signing up Kiht for Where the Hammer Fell.

[Nihka]

Received a PM sign up from S'imba Tia. 

Posting here for records and order of sign-ups history.

[Chompie]

Arblis, who definitely was not the one who sabotaged the hammers of western thanalan due to their obnoxious noise and is certainly not returning to the scene of the crime, will sign up for Where the Hammer Fell!

[Simeon Sibaruse]

Er..; After a time of watching things over this Noirzea and failing to convince the couple people I was willing to get in as a group, I guess I should jump on the occasion and try to get nose poked into Murder on the Dove in a way or another.

 

So I guess you could surely sign up Simeon Sibaruse regarding it.

[Verad]

Murder on the Dove, Malin Greaves, come on the connection is obvious.

[Leanne]

Murder on the Dove!

[Anstarra]

[Redacted!]

[Khunbish Avagnar]

Put Vael as a back up for Murder on the Dove

[Nihka]

For scheduling purposes, i need to push Murder on the Dove back to 7:30 pm central. If this causes undo problems please contact me!

[Nihka]

Rumors:

 

 

Listed rumors are things that anyone in the plot may have heard. Things are talked about in the city, word gets around. You don’t need to roll to have heard what’s written here. Further investigation into such things might be the subject of a between-scenes action, as you see fit.

 

• Citizens of Ul’dah are growing concerned and curious that there has been an unusual increase in Ahriman activity while the Alchemist guild seeks materials from them. The Alchemist guild claims to be happy for its good fortune and denies any involvement.
  
• The Mourning Dove, a ship in Vesper Bay, has been condemned and seized by the Brass Blades indefinitely. It remains moored and unused.
  
• Material Request: Ahriman Tears. The Alchemist Guild is still willing to pay good gil in exchange for adequate supplies of certain reagents.
  
• Material Request: Collecting Copper Coblyn Cores.The Alchemist Guild is still willing to pay good gil in exchange for adequate supplies of Coblyn Cores. However, word is they’ve almost met their quota. (This is the LAST BLOCK that Coblyn Cores are desired.)

[align=center]Ahriman All About[/align]

 

[align=center]Travelers throughout Thanalan have started seeing suspicious shadows. Reports and rumors suggest an abnormal abundance of the winged voidsent known as Ahriman peeking over boulders and peering at folk with those ridiculous eyes.[/align]

[align=center]Thankfully, no one has been seriously injured. But experts agree, it’s only a matter of time.[/align]

3. R'elend Tia

[align=center]A small group of (relatively) peaceful goblin “traders” is under heavy scrutiny by the Brass Blades. They claim that this group of goblins is responsible for the recent damage done to the massive hammers designed to pound the sands of Western Thanalan into a suitable foundation for Monetarist summer homes. [/align]

 

[align=center]A great deal of money is involved, so for once the Brass Blades are inclined to do their jobs to the best of their abilities. Even if it means arresting every single goblin and condemning them to rot in the oubliette. The goblins aren’t about to go quietly, and they’re gearing up to fight. Which side will you help?[/align]

As of yet they have not told him why she is being held, but he heard from someone in Vesper Bay who claims he saw her being arrested by a tall elezen in dark armor and handed off to the Blades. In the past, many of his troubles have been resolved by clever adventurers, and so he’s turning to them for aid once again.[/align]

 

[align=center]My beloved Ut’lahni has been arrested! Someone help me fight against these false charges and retrieve her from the vile clutches of the Brass Blades! Please, before something awful happens.[/align]

[align=center]Word of this raucous partying has begun to spread, along with a message from the benefactor: Everyone is welcome, come and have a great time![/align]
