WAR TABLE ASSIGNMENTS: COASTING AROUND

[katabasis]

WAR TABLE ASSIGNMENT(s): COASTING AROUND

WHAT: A series of mixed-division (and mixed-project) assignments focused on sea-faring faction building, resource acquisition, and strengthening Riftwatch's intelligence network along the Waking Sea. See comments for specific mission details and sign-ups.

These are 'odd-job' style assignments that are either meant to be done by a small (2-3) number of characters or styled as mingle logs for ease of play.

HOW: You'll be provided with a brief overview of the goals/stakes/potential complications of each mission, but will otherwise be expected to set up their logs/conduct the missions as you see fit. Everything is fairly open ended and/or low stakes, so if presented with a choice of A path or B path, the selection won't affect that mission itself but it will affect future endeavors/the world state.

WHO: Forces Division + Everyone Else

WHEN: OOCly, sign-ups for this close at midnight on July 18th. Assignments will be rngd and additional details distributed in the next 48-ish hours. This sign-up window is purposefully long so you can have a chance to plan given the density of mod plot related activities this month.

ICly, you're welcome to date these however is convenient given the ongoing Free Marches invasion. If you want to backdate it and say your characters were sent to do this before Tevinter's invasion into the Marches, feel free. If you want to say this is part of the work they're doing during the invasion (although some assignments will lend better to this than others), then you're welcome to assume that Tony (for anything +Research or Especially Forces-y), Byerly (for anything +Diplomacy or +Scouting), or Julius (for "Into The Woods") are giving the orders. And if you want to hold ICly off until after Flint has time to come back from being missing, that's okay too.

The only important part is that reports for each assignment be filed no later than September 19th as the outcome of these will affect future war table assignments to come.

Congratulations, you've been tasked with overseeing the aesthetic refit of the merchant ship, Odalys. This is more or less what is says on the tin - Cassius, Edgard, and Barrow will be making over the ship (with the help of some npc randos because I don't expect three people to repaint a whole boat) in an effort to gently appeal to its new owner's sensibilities.

What are those sensibilities, you ask? Well that depends entirely on who you ask. The house colors suggest jewel tones. Agents out of Antiva report that Ramires' taste trends toward the bombastic, but every description of him in common gossip suggests a much more staid taste. Does he have a true passion for dueling, or does he just have a temper and a chip on his shoulder? All Antivas like, uh, horses. Right?

This is really just an excuse for interpersonal hijinks; assume you don't have Quite Enough of a Budget or Nearly As Much Information As Your Characters Might Prefer. Summarize the redecorating efforts in your report which is due September 19th
