PLAYER PLOT: RESCUE, ROAST, RECONNAISSANCE, RIFTWATCH

[vangelis]

who is gonna be good cop and who is gonna be bad cop?

WHAT Marcus Rowntree has received word from someone of great personal importance that help is needed in escaping the Venatori across the Free Marches! Volunteers are needed in the sudden rescue effort, which will take members of Riftwatch to just north of the Vimmark Mountains where they will encounter a small group of Venatori agents hot on the tail of Tsenka Abendroth and Myron Florus, both seeking to flee their previous circumstances and join Riftwatch.

Upon returning to The Gallows after the rescue, or perhaps even along the way back, Myron will come forward with the information that he has defected from the ranks of the Venatori and would like to help Riftwatch in taking Corypheus down. Knowing full well that as a former Venatori himself he can't just join Riftwatch, he agrees to being investigated however they see fit and will be staying in the dungeons until the process is completed.

So, there will be a couple of people from this point who will be interrogating him to ensure that he is trustworthy and to collect information that can be cross-referenced for confirmation with two other teams, one of which will be collecting gossip and the other that will be investigating his house (which might also be under Venatori investigation if you wanna punch people) while in Minrathous conducting some other communication or affair (unrelated to this investigation). Those conducting the investigation will also have the opportunity to learn firsthand some information that he has brought to Riftwatch to attempt to curry favor with the organization alongside the fact that he aided in the escape of an elven mage that had been held prisoner by the Venatori.

Tsenka is totally cool, A-OK, absolutely fine - Marcus can vouch - so she won't be going through as rigorous of an induction process. Please reach out to Libby if there's any plotting stuff you wanna do with her regarding her arrival.

After all of the information regarding Myron has been confirmed, congrats! Riftwatch will have another new member.

WHO For the rescue: 3-4 people (Scouting/Forces-leaning), Interrogation: 2 people (Scouting/Forces-only), Gossip Train: 2 people (Diplomacy-leaning), Breaking & Entering in Minrathous: 2 people (Scouting-leaning) - Depending on sign-ups, anything marked "-leaning" will be open to people from other divisions as long as at least one person on the team is from the specified division. Marcus, Tsenka, Myron, and NPCs (as needed) will be involved throughout the plot as well.

HOW For organization and ease of documenting/finding info, it's all going to be in one log with top levels for each individual aspect of this plot. I can also set up a discord chat if people would like - feel free to add me at subjectredacted#6534 and lemme know if you wanna do that!

WHEN Sign-ups will be open until 10/16 so that details can go out ASAP and a log can be posted on the 17th.

Re: QUESTIONS

[sparklequeen]

How long is the trip out and back expected to take? A few days?

on this account, pardon

[voidtransport]

As far as I know there aren't really hard set travel times but I'm gonna say that it's probably about half a day or a bit more on horse, and on foot it would probably be a little over double that.

Relevant IC Skills & Weaknesses: Skills: over-prepared for any physical challenges, has broken and entered many a time before, big and intimidating, impeccable fuck-off vibe, used to working in a team. Weaknesses: unsubtle, cannot be sneaky to save her life, bad poker face, phobia of heights, weak counter to magic, can't play nice with Ellie Williams if her ass ends up involved

Anything else?: This looks punk fuckin' rock, am excited

Congrats! You have been grabbed by Marcus on his way off to go rescue a couple people from some Venatori pursuers! You will be accompanied by Derrica, Glimmer, and Matthias on your mission.

Relevant IC Skills & Weaknesses: Skills: Erstwhile Bard. Charming and getting information out of people is his specialty. He's also excellent at breaking and entering, but, Weaknesses: He does not know his way around Tevinter, doesn't know the language, and can't convincingly fake the accent, so he would be of zero help if the B&E team were caught in the act or needed to talk their way in or out of anything.

Anything else?: He's in Diplomacy but he has a toe in Scouting and (I assume) would have Yseult's vote of confidence for more spy-y things if necessary. sparkle emoji.

Also, I'm signing Kostos up too, but I only have time to do either Bastien or Kostos—whichever one helps fill your teams better is good with me!

Relevant IC Skills & Weaknesses: Skills: Mage with a lot of combat experience including vs. other mages, decent outdoor navigation/travel skills, barriers and wisp-spies for days, surly and not afraid to be mean to a prisoner. Weaknesses: Incapable of being charming to a prisoner, if that's the preferred tactic.

Anything else?: I signed up with Bastien as well but I only have time for one or the other of them! (Or neither of them, if you run out of room! That is also fine.)

[vangelis]

Congrats! You have been chosen to interrogate the Venatori turncoat, Myron Florus. Your task is to collect information that can be later verified against the finding of the other team investigating him via fieldwork, ensure that his motives for joining are genuine, and generally see if there's any other information regarding his work for the Venatori that you can get out of him. Feel free to use whatever style of interrogation you like, question the validity of the documents and information that he's providing, what have you. You will be partnered with Prudence for this assignment.

Relevant IC Skills & Weaknesses: She can hit things real good with short staves! Has powers that means she could melt her way through locks and also heal people! Very good at empathy and looking after people which seems relevant!!!
she’s not scouting or forces and while capable at fighting is not as highly skilled as others. easy for marcus to sling over his shoulder and bring along as a helper though

Anything else?:
literally any excuse to share this gif set

[vangelis]

Congrats! You have been chosen to investigate the home of the Venatori turncoat alongside another task that will take you to Minrathous. Be warned! The Venatori are aware that Myron has absconded to Riftwatch, and may be staking out or within his home. Your task is to look for any notable information that will be useful in verifying his identity and motivations, so feel free to be nosy in looking for any sort of diaries or personal effects. (And hey, if something catches your eye that you'd like to take as a souvenir, then by all means help yourself to whatever you can fit in your pockets.) You will be partnered with Mado for this assignment.

Relevant IC Skills & Weaknesses: Godly biceps, stellar heals, flawless barriers. Lots of combat experience. Can't get a better candidate to play Good Cop than this.

Lacking experience in mage vs mage combat, but once someone starts throwing lightening bolts around who needs finesse, I ask.

Anything else?: here to be yoinked into Marcus' pocket.

Relevant IC Skills & Weaknesses: Capable fighter and mage, can teleport, has already dealt with the mental trauma of finding it easier to kill people than the first time she did in another thread. Is also still not really used to killing people especially up close and personal.

Anything else?: Glimmer just wants to keep busy really.
