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.
