balmung [HQE] Adventurers and Other Freaks

1. The Odd Things That Happen Before Things Get Serious

 

Do you want antlings?! Because this is how we get antlings!

Emergency Leve Notice: An unfortunate structural flaw has led to the partial collapse of the Nanawa Mines tunnel as an Amajina steam engine and several cars worth of cargo were en route. The engine itself is currently trapped under rubble. Stone Torches and Amajina company engineers have been dispatched to ensure the tunnel is cleared and repaired to avoid interfering with delivery timetables and possibly to avoid laborer casualties, if feasible at a minimum of expense. Adventurers are requested for security duty to ensure thieving beastfolk and Lost Hope refugees don't swipe any of the cargo while the engineers complete their task.

Will O'The Wisps

Patrols of the combined Resistance-Alliance forces have reported sightings of an aetherial and ghostlike figure in the Dimwold, "akin to ashkin" in the words of one soldier. This was treated with appropriate wonder and awe until it stabbed one Maelstrom soldier through the chest unprovoked. Commander Haelstyrmm Eynnarhmsson, one of the Maelstrom's liaisons to the Alliance operations in Ala Mhigo, has requested the creature be caught or dispelled by veteran adventurers.

Notes:

This story is the beginning of a potentially-long-running series of events, depending upon reception and results. Tonally, it will be pretty over-the-top and silly. Most of my plots start that way, though that tends to fall off over time as past participants can attest.

 

It will use the HQE dice system, a conversion of the HeroQuest tabletop RPG which can be used with in-game /random to resolve conflicts. Rules for this system can be found here: HeroQuest Eorzea. We will be using the "Limited Standard" rules; your character will progress through the use of XP, but this will not carry over to other plots.

 

New players are welcome and encouraged. Contact me here, in-game, or through my tumblr at Memoirs of a Master Merchant if you would like to try the system and need help making an appropriate character sheet. You can also join the Roll Eorzea linkshell and Discord for more assistance.

I'd like to sign up for Antlings with Virara, but if anyone who hasn't participated in an HQE session yet wants to join, feel free to surrender my spot to them.

[Jana]

I'll sign up for Will o' the Wisps with Jana, and hammer out a sheet between now and the 9th!

I'd like to sign up for Antlings with Haruko. If someone new wants in (fresh blood, w00t!) I'll happily step aside for 'em.

[Gegenji]

Was gonna sign up for Antlings too, but it looks like we have a full roster for it now. Ah well. Feel free to put me as backup or something similar, though!
