Late in Justinian, Tsenka alerts the Division Heads that Marcus and Julius had been attacked by Templars while on the road in Wildervale and that Marcus is now being carted off toward Val Chevin in their custody. A rescue party is being scrambled to track down Julius, and to attempt to pick up the trail from where they were attacked in order to locate Marcus and the Templars.

The aim will be to a) recover Riftwatch's people, b) figure out exactly why Marcus was magenapped and by whom (suspicions officially abound as to whether they're legitimate Templars or not), and c) resolve the issue in a manner appropriate to whatever truths they shake out.

WHO CAN COME
Sign-ups are open; if an excess of sign ups are received, we'll curate the final rescue party roster based on what makes most IC sense according the divhead's meeting. Some general recommendations:

Griffon Riders

(Ex-)Templars or Chantry affiliated folks

Mages who can restrain themselves from murdering Templars on sight

Characters who have a reputation for being reliable/level-headed in a crisis

Combat experience

HOW WE'RE DOING THIS
Rather than worrying about rping the actual action to see what happens (which might involve a lot of npcing), we're looking to reach an ooc consensus regarding the approach so we can sort out the immediate effects and skip the boring Wrestling With An NPC part.

Instead, focus will be CR building stuff as well as interrogating those involved to figure out how all of this came to be.

WHEN ARE WE DOING THIS
Sign-ups open now and close at 11:59pm Saturday, 6/25. From there we'll coordinate as a group (or groups depending on how many folks are coming along) and get a log going soon after.
