War Table Mission: Scouting
SCOUTING MISSION: GENERAL MAYHEM
WHAT: A team sneaking into Perendale by griffon to deliver some supplies to the resistance there discovers that they've stumbled into an opportunity to assassinate a key Tevinter general before he can head south to rally the troops in the Fields of Ghislain.
HOW: The resistance has, more or less accidentally, come into possession of secret information about the general's schedule during his brief time in the city. There will be three distinct opportunities in which they might kill him, each lending themselves to different approaches and with different pros and cons, which PCs will have to choose between.
OOCly, the players involved will be provided with some info about the 3 opportunities so they can decide which one their characters would pick (via RP if desired, of course). We'll also establish a set of very basic character stats to be used for this mission. We'll then play out the actual assassination attempt itself live on discord, with some GMing and light dice rolling where needed. This will bring with it the possibility of failure, complications, consequences, and/or injury, though no one will die or be permanently maimed unless that's what their player wants. Any other logs the team wants to write on the comm in the run-up or aftermath are of course also welcome.
WHO: 3-5 agents, sign-ups open to all members of the Scouting Division. Sign-ups from others outside Scouting are also allowed but will be given lower priority. Rifters and others with anchors would be warned of the particular risks of capture, and would have to be willing and able to hide their anchor and pass for natives.
Since the original mission was just to deliver supplies, they won't have been specifically chosen for their ability/willingness to assassinate somebody. Instead, the IC goal will be a team consisting a couple griffon riders and characters who are at least reasonably sneaky and capable of defending themselves if things go badly.
WHEN: Get your sign-ups in by end of day EST on Friday, October 23. We'll be running the plot live on Discord on November 7. This will likely require several hours of consistent RP, with the possibility of a second session if necessary given some plot variables.
QUESTIONS
SIGN UP
Character:
Division:
Griffon Rider: Y/N
Fit: Briefly describe what makes your character a good fit for this mission. Please also include liabilities like having an anchor, or being totally unwilling to assassinate anyone ever (this isn't necessarily disqualifying, but I want to make sure we don't send a whole team that's going to nope out of the plot).
Availability: We're going to RP this live on Discord on the weekend of November 7-8. Please provide your timezone and when you're available on those days.
Re: SIGN UP
Character: aleksei
Division: scouting
Griffon Rider: N
Fit: High stealth skills, very willing to do murder, good with knives, not afraid of heights. Extremely low liability in this situation, he isn't going to object to murder, is very invested in not getting caught for doing murder, and he is capable of being useful as long as he can hitch a ride.
Availability: On the 7th I'm available in a narrow window after 5:30/6 ish EST until 9?? 10?? Whatever time the Expanse starts. I can try to wiggle tabletop around if absolutely necessary. On Sunday anytime after 11:30 EST until movie of the week starts.
Also he's a side character, so lowest priority/bump him if you please.

Fit:

no subject
Character: Nikos Averesch
Division: Scouting
Griffon Rider: N
Fit: he made contact with resistance members in Perendale on a previous Scouting mission, he's an assassin and he's good at it/good at not getting caught, surprisingly good at stealth and keeping quiet, completely fine with murder as long as it's for a cause. his biggest liability is that he wants REVOLUTION and would prefer to spur the Perendale resistance into doing something drastic to improve their situation.
Availability: CST time zone, available 12p - 8p on the 7th, 12p - 6p on the 8th.
no subject
Character: Marcoulf
Division: Division
Griffon Rider: Y
Fit: Follows directions, was part of the original team that touched base with the Perendale resistance, blends in as Le Normal McNormalman, chill with murder.
Availability: PST. Sat, Nov 7 - all day; Sun, Nov 8 available from before 1pm (but like k2, might be able to rearrange) and from 4pm-530pm unless we skip movie club for the week. Controversial, I know.
He's a side character so punt him if necessary/eppy gets first side character slot dibs if it goes to rng.
no subject
Character: Kostos Averesch
Division: Scouting
Griffon Rider: Y
Fit: He's not the sneakiest individually but he'd be able to pass for a local in the sense that he's Nevarran (with some Orlesian influence on his accent, even). And he has wisp spies. Main liability is his personality, especially bad at getting along with Nikos for any length of time. He'd be ok with the concept of assassinating an enemy general but not want to actually do it himself (which I assume will be possible to avoid given everyone else who's fine with it).
Availability: Central, available forever, I don't do anything but this anymore.
