balmung [Periodic] Merchant, Marine Sign Ups

[Klynzahr]

I would like to sign up for the millioncorn mystery on Klynzahr, but I would be about 15 minutes late. Is that okay?

[Verad]

Not a problem!

[Gallien Vyese]

Have we agreed on which 3 are going on Tuesday?

[Verad]

Yes, sorry about the delay. Confirming Jana, V'aleera, and Gallien to go along with Orrin.

Episode 4:

 

Yet the Angel Must Hang

The trial of Dominic Morris is at hand. Accused of orchestrating a mutiny of such savagery that it left the Maiden's Wound undermanned and forced it to run aground on the shores of Lower La Noscea, his fate has captured the attention of much of the peoples of Limsa Lominsa, especially after delays in the proceedings caused the call for justice to turn violent. Unwilling to settle for anything less than a full court martial in order to ensure a complete restoration of order, the Admiralty has arranged for Commodore Haelstyrmm of the 9th Squadron to preside over a five-man board of Maelstrom captains to determine Morris' guilt.

 

Morris has been allowed to retain an advocate for his defense and associated advisers, but there is little expectation that he will be acquitted of the crimes. The stage is set for the Admiralty to show that it has authority in Limsa by rule of law, not merely force of arms and the support of a gang of cutthroats.

 

Meanwhile, public interest has ensured there will be a large crowd near the Mizzenmast during the trial. Opinions between those who think the sooner Morris meets the noose, the better, and those who suspect his actions had some larger purpose are running high and hot, and the Yellowjackets and Maelstrom alike are seeking adventurers for extra security.

 

Note: This is a two-part, two-day event, taking place over several days of game time. It will be divided into two parts: Those who are participating in the trial itself, and those who will be keeping the crowd secure outside the Mizzenmast.

 

These events will be interlinked. It is possible for events inside the trial, as they are reported, to upset the crowd. Likewise, if violence from outside manages to reach those participating in the trial, it may color the proceedings.

 

Participants in the Crowd events can sign up for both or one day as their schedule permits.

Turns Remaining: 15/15

 

I can sign up for both. Maybe Hisa shows up to sneer at Limsans, or Chakha comes looking for Lalafell and/or see what's happening.

[Gallien Vyese]

Inside the trail for Gallien - invitation through Liadan

[Verad]

 

I can sign up for both. Maybe Hisa shows up to sneer at Limsans, or Chakha comes looking for Lalafell and/or see what's happening.

 

If you'd like to run each on separate days, let me know the characters and which days.

[Knight Kat]

Please sign Qara Hotgo up for Crowd Day 1, for certain.

 

Day 2 is tentative.

[PhantasticPanda]

Signing up Zanzan for Day 1 for the crowd! (Because he didn't suffer enough from being body blocked by Roegadyns the first time...)

[S'imba]

I'll put S'imba out in the crowd on day 2

[Anstarra]

I'd like to sign up for the Crowd on Day Two.

 

Additionally, I want to schedule an ACT action with which to interrogate the Garlean Agitator we caught. Who knows, it might have a bearing on the proceedings... but it's almost too late, already!

 

It would really be ideal if the ACT could take place Saturday, before the second part of the Trial. To give the results time enough to get to those involved, perhaps. I know Virara wanted to be involved, and Leanne as well.

[Caspar]

I think Crowd Day 1 is the time I'll be able to make personally.

[Melkire]

Tentatively signing up w/ Osric Melkire for Crowd Day 1. Also considering a Prepare action, I think?

 

EDIT: Rumors say I might be getting pulled into the Trial. If so, I yield my Crowd slot.

[RiniKett]

L'rinhi Kett crowd day 1 and 2 if applicable.

[Khunbish Avagnar]

Khunbish Adarkim Crowd Day 2

[Nihka]

I'd like to sign up for the Crowd on Day Two.

Urgent "Act"

Maximum 3 players. 3 turns used.

Wednesday, 18 January 8:30 PM Central time (as soon as I get home) 

 

 

Players: Anstarra, Virara, Leanne. Replacement players by invite only.

This scene will be run by Nihka.

[Aya]

Aya will just observe from the distance... what is wrong with all of these Lominsans?

[Anstarra]

Aya will just observe from the distance... what is wrong with all of these Lominsans?

 

I THINK the answer to that is actually that we/they are being stirred up and divided by Garlean agents, Ala Mhigo style.

[Anstarra]

I think it's also pretty neat how someday soon possibly certain PCs who essentially created the whole "Forgive Morris" movement are gonna realize they played right into the Empire's hands...

I don't believe in dubious plot twists! :-D

[Anstarra]

I would also like to sign An up for the Crowd on Day One as well, since I think there's still a spot.

[Khunbish Avagnar]

I'm an idiot that can't math time right, I thought the trial crowd was several hours earlier, sorry I have to back out as I'm busy with other plans then.

[Verad]

Phase 2 Complete

 

 

With the end of Yet the Angel Must Hang, the second part of Merchant, Marine is finished. A major conflict has been resolved and about three others introduced.

 

If this keeps up I'm never going to finish this.

Aya Foxheart

Banquo Syn

Edda Eglantine

Jana Ridah

Story Aspect Changes:

 

 

Only Blood Can Mend The Wound has been removed thanks to the conclusion of the Morris trial. An appropriate punishment has been set, and Limsan tempers have cooled.

 

 

Please look forward to more terrible things exciting developments in the next phase!

[Verad]

Part 5:

 

Story Aspects:

 

Ceruleum Shortage - In the past sennight, ceruleum has become difficult to acquire on the open market - well, more difficult than usual anyway. Even the Syndicate does not seem to be providing what would be considered its normal shipments. Many Limsan-based free companies are finding that their access to the fuel is entirely absent, and while the Admiralty has its own stores, access to those is based on need. Vehicles or equipment that rely on the fuel to function may be unavailable during this time. On the other hand, if you do have ceruleum, you stand to make a killing.

 

A New Patriotism - Between the wreck of the Wound revealing just how bad things can get on a privateering ship and the Battle of the Gilded Ship, some citizens are becoming convinced that the organization and security of the state is more important than it's ideals (although they probably wouldn't state it in those terms).

 

Events:

 

 

Bring Your Best Suit:

The Hellfist Foundation is looking for a good orator for a test case in privateering labor rights, in which the crew of the free trader Cogswoddled are seeking damages against their captain for what they allege to be withholding of their fare share of spoils. They are also looking for security to keep the Dutiful Sisters from settling the matter in their own uniquely murderous way, or interfering with proceedings such that their lock on the code remains unthreatened.

 

Time: Tuesday, January 31st, 9 PM CST

1. Chakha Hotgo

2. L'Rinhi Khett

3. W'Chaza Yheli
