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.

A rare piece of correspondence from an intelligence broker known only by the & they sign their documents with has been intercepted. From the contents of the note, & plans to meet with Someone of Great Importance To The War Effort in the secret-ish back room of a relatively popular public house in Kirkwall's Lowtown district..

Mado (and his +1, should you wish to devise an adventure which requires one), will discover that the person & plans to meet is...Mado (and company).

&, who is a wiry unassuming fellow in his late 40s, seems to have run afoul of the Coterie and now would very much like to be disappeared by Riftwatch before they get to him. In exchange for helping him escape into obscurity unmolested, & will provide information that implicates a particular trading house in Caimen Brea as a major intermediary hub for stolen property (and people) which were trafficked out of Orlais during the occupation.

Be prepared to include a summary of Mado's progress in a group report which will be due by September 19th.

Also: Should &'s escape go smoothly, a fortnight later Mado will randomly come into possession of a seemingly innocuous small penny whistle. Think finding it in his coat pocket after a night out or being sold it by a cute orphan (though you're welcome to make up the specifics). Inside the tin whistle, he will find a rolled up piece of parchment with a brief note containing the directions on how to contact a 'Reliable Pair of eyes' in Caimen Brea who goes by the name of Fiddler.

Hey there! This is your casual reminder to get with Eppy and MJ to hash out a group report summarizing the findings for this; this is due September 19th.
