Strihe Clan

The current plan for rescuing the children from the stockades is as follows.

Raefaelin will remain with the airship Retribution.
Damien will remain IN the forest outside of the garrison.
Domino and Taebr and Reik and Mesh are disguised, and loaded with sleeping poison on darts and bolts. They are to pick off any who are not incapacitated by the 'diversion'
Narsuun will be poisoning the stew with bad mushrooms, leaving the guards incapacitated.
Neona will be in disguise, and ill aid Narsuun in freeing the children.

The plan is to silently ambush the guards who are not incapacitated, and cause as much confusion as possible.
DO NOT KILL unless it is absolutely necessary. If you kill, consider the mission a failure.
Once the children are free, they are escorted into the forest, and flanked by the ambush squad to pick off followers. Travel a day's hike through the forest, where Damien will meet you along the way for protection while the ambush squad goes back to greystone. Damien and Neona will bring the Children onboard the airship a day away, where Damien's staff from Darkheart Keep wait to take care of them.

In, out, nobody sees our faces.

Questions?

IC questions or OOC ones?

- How are we going to disguise Domino? There's nobody else with wings in town. NOBODY. Also, both of us have horns.
- How would Leander not become a suspect if he doesn't eat the spiced stew, how would he not be recognized?
- What are the effects of the Mushrooms used in this scenario?
- The Hallucinogen effects of Fly Agaric will 'enhance' reality, but doesn't make it impossible to identify key features.
- So does debilitatingly vomiting and liquid-shitting your pants on a half-minutely basis.
- Deathcap Mushrooms kill, so it can't be those either, which is the only poisonous mushroom that looks like any mushroom of the edible kind.
- The Military have Scarhawks and Ostrixes, how do we keep them away from the ship, and and how are we going to keep them from getting near when Damien is a day's hike away, who sends these creatures running away screaming?

*edit*
Also who is Neona?

When?

Hey, Mesh txt'd me something about this rp on Thursday {12/18}, but I know I cant do that. This week is birthday dinner. If thats whats good for everyone, awesome.

if you have availability Friday or Saturday, can you let me know? I would really like to get to be in on it.

Rae.

Neona is Taebr's daughter.

To Reik's points:

As the garrison is half an hour away from town, and Leander is a knight, it follows that he eats separately from the low soldiers.
The mushrooms cause vomiting and diarrhea. Those soldiers that do not leave their posts will be too busy with their bodily functions to be paying attention.

Let me stress. The priority is NOT TO BE SEEN AT ALL. It doesn't matter whether or not anyone is disguised, if anyone notices infiltrators then the mission is a failure. The reason for the mushrooms is to cause the guard so much trouble that no one notices disappeared children for at least a few hours. There is also precedent for accidental use of these mushrooms, it's happened before in one of the tavern's stews which makes it much less suspicious than other methods. The truth will be worked out, but if things go correctly then no one will realize it until the children are long gone and out of danger.

However, in the confusion, it may be possible for Leander to procure one or two guard uniforms to make things easier once people are inside.

Hunwald will be aiding us as well, so if things do go bad he is willing to take the blame for the incident with pride. With -that- said, and Narsuun's points being followed, Meshakk will still be handing out charcoal sludge to darken everybody's visible bits, and heavy cloaks. IF anybody is spotted, the guard spotting had best be shot with sleeping poison. IF that doesnt work, were all boned, and the mission is likely to bust. If Narsuun can get two into the compound, I suggest Meshakk and Taebr, as we have no horns, wings, and are of average height. But we shouldnt tarry long, and nobody can bee seen.

With this and Narsuun's answers, are there any questions?

As to the date, Rae is free NEXT Wednsday, is that good for everybody?

Next wednesday should be fine by me!

So as not to slow it down more, couldn't it be broken up slightly? I mean, the airship is likely not going to be used in the initial scenario, wouldn't it just be simpler to run it thursday and if the airship is needed, pull that in on wednesday? That way it gets the plot moving at a reasonable pace.

Thursday really is the only fesible date, as next Wednesday is christmas bloody eve and I am not hopping on furc to RP then. Plus, it's when most of the dream staff are available, with apologies to those who can't make it.

The current plan is to RP out the infiltration and escape, and then work out the rest with the airship over oracle (a sort of loose dice RP that answers important questions). We can always do the oracle event another day, that works better for anyone who can't make it tomorrow.

That leaves me missing it. I would strongly dislike Rae being used as an npc. The 2nd in command on the Retribution Jackson Thorne, the 1st mate. He should be fine for npc purpose.
