It’s time!

We’ve put up two forward-dated plot posts. The first post focuses on the battle—this is where you're going to go to RP scenes from your character's specific combat assignment with your assigned teams, as well as the battle's end, which will be a free-for-all where characters from all teams can interact with each other to RP combat or (spoilers) fleeing. The second post focuses on the immediate aftermath of the battle, as people receive medical treatment, take stock, and prepare to move out. The last essential link is this spreadsheet, which has everyone's assigned teams and some randomized injuries (see below for more on that).

In this post, we've provided an overview of what happens during the engagement as a whole, including what each team was ordered to do and roughly how well they did at it. Please read carefully! We'll provide a top-level on this post for questions, as always, but we're doing our best to address likely questions here and/or in the log posts, so make sure you read them.

If you're left with question about what happens next, hold onto those for a little bit. The battle itself is forward-dated, so no one needs to start playing past it for a while, and in a few days we'll also provide an overview of the state of the world post-battle so everyone knows how Thedas responds and can use that information to play through December and our mod hiatus.

Because this post has so much in it, we've provided this handy Table of Contents for future reference.
