WHAT: It's been a while since someone has reminded the good people of Hossberg of Corypheus' filthy darkspawn origins and the darkspawn under his command. To inspire some debate on the matter, our heroes will be charged with air-dropping pamphlets over Hossberg, filled with details of the damage wrought on the regions they've attacked and a missive written by Mother Natela pleading for the faithful among them to stand up in opposition to Corypheus and Tevinter.

HOW: Five to six Riftwatch agents will be dispatched on griffons to make the journey into the Anderfels and drop the pamphlets over Hossberg. It's imperative they avoid detection, capture, injury to the griffins, etc. Basically an open call for hijinks, campaign, and some light espionage. Consider this a low-pressure engagement.

I'll provide a catch-all log for shenanigans, and a handful of potential scenarios/obstacles that y'all can either incorporate or ignore as it suits you. One person will be responsible for posting a report when all is said and done, reporting on the success of the drop.

WHOMST: Open call. Anyone who wants to participate is welcome. Hoping for five to six, but if there's more interest we can expand the party.

WHEN: Sign-ups will be open until SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28TH. Catch-all log will be posted Sunday.

WHAT: Having taken notes at the Conclave to supplant various other stories he's come across in his travels to condense into two pamphlets to be distributed surreptitiously across Orlais and western Ferelden, with particular focus on the Hinterlands. One pamphlet will detail various mage and rifter heroic deeds, and feel-good stories, while the other will deep dive on the unjust suffering mages and rifters have faced.

Riftwatch's goal here is to shift public opinion in favor of rifters and mages by circulating this information, which will hopefully sway some hearts and minds in these areas.

HOW: Our heroes will be charged with distributing pamphlets throughout assigned areas so they can be seen and picked up by locals. The goal is to distribute without being clocked as Riftwatch agents, to avoid rocking the boat with the Chantry anymore than they already have through their participation in the Conclave.

Anyone signing up will be paired off or charged with recruiting their own partner, aka I will RNG you a partner out of the people who signed up, or your character can yoink in a friend to travel with them. Everyone who signs up will get a scenario detailing the obstacles their characters will need to circumvent to accomplish their mission.

Basically, check out last summer's Antiva plot to get an idea of how it'll work.

WHOMST: Open call. Preference to those who can operate stealthily without drawing attention to themselves, with secondary preference for mage and rifter rights supporters, but this is a free-for-all.

WHEN: Sign-ups will be open until FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7TH. Assignments and catch-all log will be posted over the following weekend.

WHAT: Antiva is a center of trade, ruled theoretically by King Fulgeno but in practice controlled by a dozen or so merchant princes who largely favor neutrality in the war.

Riftwatch (read: John) would like to change that, ergo John will be recruiting people to covertly visit Antiva City to try and make some headway on shifting public opinion using his favorite method: shameless gossip.

HOW: Our heroes will be charged with distributing seditious materials throughout the city, similar to what was airdropped over the Anderfels troops: pamphlets, flyers, broadsides, etc proclaiming Corypheus' connections to darkspawn, emphasizing that supporting the Venatori flies in the face of the Divine, the Maker, Andraste, common decency, etc, and urging people to rise up in opposition to trade with Tevinter. The goal is to spread these materials through the city so they're seen and picked up by the average Antivan citizen.

However, it's crucial that they are not recognized as Riftwatch agents, to preserve the headway Riftwatch has made in befriending some of the merchant princes. This is a high stealth assignment, folks.

John would like this to be an ongoing effort rather than one concentrated blitz, anyone signing up will either be paired off or left to recruit their own partner to visit Antiva over the course of a month, rather than everyone going once in a big group. I can RNG a partner for you out of those signed up, or you can pull in someone of your own choosing and a set of obstacles for your characters to wrangle along the way.

Beyond that? The world is your oyster. This is meant to be low impact and super flexible, so you can make it as much or as little of an adventure as you like. Deciding on the method of distribution and how to approach it is all up to you, so long as it's done sneakily. Thread it or chat about the aftermath or roll it into another misadventure as the mood strikes, so long as it is referenced and reports are filed accordingly.

WHOMST: The limit does not exist, though there is a preference for anyone who can operate stealthily and move through Antiva without being noticed.

WHEN: I'll close this up on August 31st, so you can drop in at any point over the course of the month and I'll accommodate you.
