WAR TABLE: ALL DIVISIONS
WAR TABLE ASSIGNMENT: OPERATION DREAMCATCHER
WHAT: With bad dreams continuing to plague Kirkwall, and with reports revealing an unpredictable area of effect, Riftwatch is ordering an extensive survey in an effort to understand the range and locate the source of the nightmares.
HOW: A mingle log and associated rookery post (for anyone who prefers to text spam their way through adventures rather than logging them) will be posted on Sunday, 10/2. Similar to the A Thousand Wrongs and the The Drifting Roads events, this log will serve of a catch-all space for nightmare research-related exploration that may occur at any time throughout the month. It will include some general set dressing and optional prompts. Get ready for sailing excursions, camping trips, dream diaries, and interviewing npcs!
At the end of this, Riftwatch may not be able to successfully pinpoint the source of the nightmares but then will have a better understanding of the effected area and, just maybe, one another. Maybe the real source of the nightmares is the friends we made along the way! That said, consider that this is mostly an excuse to ICly share bad dreams, get up to some hijinks, and write some self-indulgent side quests under the guise of ICly doing work.
WHO: Anyone and everyone. No sign ups necessary, though there will be an optional side quest/discovery request generator for anyone looking for more specifics.
WHEN: Log and rookery chatter goes up on Sunday, 10/2. A report will be filed on 10/31 (but will be general enough that threads don't have to be finished—or even started—by then).
SAILING EXCURSION INFO
To sign up for this first trip, reply to this in the comments below (first four only please!) and I'll loop you into the top-level I eventually sling up for it.
The second sailing excursion will occur later in the month and focus on traveling around the Waking Sea (and can be used as a more general vehicle for sea-faring prompts, and has no limit as to the number of participants). Expect excellent stargazing, and an almost relaxing trip (persistent interludes of nightmares aside) right up until the third night when the tempestuous seasonal winds take a sudden turn for the worst. Amidst the sheeting rain, a giant squid-like creature infested with red-lyrium attacks the ship. It will need to be defended against before it or the storm puts a permanent end to the nightmares of everyone aboard. The inclement weather persists for time spent limping back to the Kirkwall harbor.
Everyone who goes on a Sailing Excursion will be required to keep a dream diary logging the location and severity of any bad dreams, and surrender the pages to Research Division upon their return. Use your best judgment about what you write down, but remember that everyone is counting on your input to solve this problem so we don't all die from exhaustion and stress.

I've got a top level/catch-all for this written here, but no pressure if you're no longer feeling it. I'm only, checks notes, ONE MILLION DAYS LATE.
