WAR TABLE MISSION: DIPLOMACY

[hornswoggle]

How do you overthrow a dictator Corypheus? You cut off his resources.

BACKGROUND:

Corypheus' invading force is a playful mix of Tevinter and Ander soldiers, among other things. Presently bunched up along Orlais' northern border, anything that could decrease the number of troops at his disposal would weaken Corypheus' hold on the region and potentially allow Orlesian forces to gain the upper hand.

But how will Riftwatch do that, you ask? With some gossip and some griffins.

MISSION:

A small group of Riftwatch agents will fly over the Ander camp and drop pamphlets detailing the cold truth about Corypheus' existence as a filthy darkspawn. Riftwatch agents need to get in, drop the pamphlets, and get out without being spotted, or without being blown out of the sky by trebuchets or angry mages, and most importantly, without losing any griffins to the enemy.

WHOMST:

A small group of five, from any division. Diplomacy is instigating this mission, but anyone down to fly a griffin into danger is a-ok to throw their name into the ring.

WHEN:

Signs up will be open until Monday, 8/3. I'll do rolls for success and have the log up by Friday.

As promised, I rolled based on your stats and took the overall group average to determine successes and failures. I'm happy to provide exact details on rolls if y'all think that would be helpful, but here's the basic rundown of how moving parts of the mission shook out. An open log exists in the comm for whichever parts of this y'all find compelling/entertaining to thread.

SNEAKY ENTRANCE:

THE VERDICT: your team just managed to avoid outright detection upon entering enemy airspace. what nearly prevented you from soaring in undetected? y'all are free to decide amongst yourselves! was it a misbehaving griffin? local wildlife loudly reacting to predators in their airspace? did someone drop a back? did a scout happen to look up? go forth and choose your own adventure.

DEPLOYING GOSSIP

THE VERDICT: your team succeed at dropping the pamphlets by the skin of your teeth. what nearly went wrong? choose your own mishaps. did someone drop their payload too early? too late? was the release mechanism stuck? the world is your oyster here!

DARING ESCAPE

THE VERDICT: an unmitigated success. y'all fled the scene without a scrape, even after losing the element of surprise. no one got shot down and no griffins were lost in this production. good work!!!
