Comments

things you want to play

[galvanising]

specific parts of this trip you'd ideally like to RP out with at least one other person

[aforethought]

i just want a horrible bird cat to scream at people and try to eat someone's hair

i'm also into any of the objectives (demons! dragons! neat!) and can take or leave them but the desertion stuff is of interest to melys if anyone else is into it

[galvanising]

I want to play flying around on griffons and having a contest between whether the griffon or the dragon or melys comes closest to killing nell first

[justice_is_blond]

...desertion stuff could be fun and interesting.

[exequy]

DO THE GRIFFON-DRAGON AIR PURSUIT OR I WILL DIE

[galvanising]

Things I'm most interested in potentially RPing if anyone else is up for it include:

griffon flying / chase / battle

trudging through the desert and bitching about how much the Anderfels suck

gross blighted sandstorm?

some kind of close call during scouting? or the moment where they see the giant darkspawn red lyrium army and realize how fucked the world is

self-indulgent personal stuff that nobody is obligated to actually care about: Nell having not said a word about actually being originally from the Anderfels rather than Nevarra until forced to step in and grudgingly translate something

[justice_is_blond]

-I'm all for that griffon flight chase life

-would like to play out scouting the demons

-one camp night could be fun.

divvying up goals

[galvanising]

there are four goals of this mission, outlined in the info we were given:

demons

darkspawn

wardens

locals

if we want to play them all out, the best way is probably for each of us to take point IC and OOC on one of them. please list your order of preference 1-4 and if multiple people want to run the same one I can RNG it.

we don't have to actually RP all of these out, or play them all in a way that requires actual leadership ic/ooc. if there are things people think would work better as discussing the lead up or the aftermath, or handwaving altogether, that's cool too! feel free to mention that in your comment too

She'll be following Anders around like a good +1, but just in case...

1) Best place for her would probably be checking out Weisshaupt and the demons, since she'll be able to do fancy fortress analysis with her fancy architectural skills.
2) Close second is helping scout the darkspawn. Qualifications: a) a scout, b) not a Warden.
3) Sits still for hours in a tree and watches Warden/military troop movements?
4) Probably do not take the Dalish with you to meet the locals.

Re: divvying up goals

[ichaer]

sup, here is ciri. ready and willing to be quietly mad about everything.

1. demons. she's really been rearing to head back to weisshaupt and because she was stuck there for such a long period of time, might be able to help pick out what is new versus old shit + her biggest concern has always been wth warden mages have been and would be interested in their movements and interactions

2. wardens. she's a warden and super interested in what these fucks are doing. surprisingly good at sitting around for long periods of time and has a sweet spyglass

3. darkspawn. again, surprisingly good at sitting around for long periods of time! pros: a scout, and a warden!! cons: a warden!!

4. locals. need someone to talk to horses? she's your girl!! small princes?? oh boy!! but please don't make her talk to regular folk and expect decent results.

[justice_is_blond]

1. Still got the priority mentioned in the plurk last month, the demons as he really wants to get a good look and eventually come back to try to abduct a mage to try the ritual on.

2. Locals work as a second, he knows the language, is from here, etc.

3. Third priorty would be Wardens because he does care about it.

4. Fourth... yeah, could get detected by the Darkspawn so there's risk there.
