Unrest in Draia (a series of invasion based events)

Recommended Posts

Introduction:

Archmages of Draia in their research have realised that a dark clouds are gathering. Pursuing answers of what might cause this ominous events and what could they led to four of them decided to start a journey. Unfortunately, any contact with them has been lost.

 

The Heads of Magic Schools of Seridia and Irilion are doing their best to localise their colleagues. Unfortunately, all attempts have failed so far.

 

Rules & Misc:

1. This will be a series of four invasion-based events with the first of them taking place next weekend (28-29 May). Following events will be run (most probably) during weekends, too.

2. Each of the events will have different set-up and different conditions of success and announced before each of them. However, you will need to coordinate your activities between different a/d ranges (caps).

3. There will be rewards, of course. They will be getting better and better with each successful event. The final reward will be a private invasion which will last for one hour.

4. Should you fail any of the events, the final reward might be impossible to achieve.

5. I will make sure to announce subsequent events in forums at least 2-3 before them.

 

In case of questions, etc., please, post below.

Awesome.

 

 

I love a good story and a good fight so to have a good team fight that follows a story - you're great ;-)

 

 

Thank you for this - and for the other things you make stories for.

 

 

Is the point where I get to make a smutty joke about role-playing? :devlish:

No. That sounds about right for your #gm, though. :wacko:

That's but unjustified accusation!

18th Day of Viasia, Year 47, Age of the Eternals

 

The Archmage and Seer of the School of Magic in Tarsengaard has managed to establish contact with the missing researchers. In their journey, they wandered to four different realms where they will attempt a complex spell to reveal the cause of the current events in Draia. Unfortunately, it has become apparent that they will need help to cast the grand spell of clairvoyance.

 

The Archmage, together with the wisest of his colleagues, are working together in order to organise a party of willing adventurers that will deliver the spell's components. Beware, though, the entity behind the unrolling crisis cannot be expected to remain passive.

 

It is expected that wisemen of Tarsengaard will be ready to help their missing sorcerers within days.

 

 

OOC:

General Information:

1. Invasion in 4 maps and 4 ranges.

2. Time: To be announced

 

Conditions of success:

1. Deliver defined items (to be announced) to 4 hidden researchers.

2. Other conditions: to be announced.

26th Day of Viasia, Year 47, Age of the Eternals

 

A few days passed.

 

A man entered a dark room, his shoulders hunched. With a single word he made all candles to light. Feeble illumination revealed his features. His long silver hair was disheveled, obviously needing a good wash and brush. Grave distress caused his forehead and brow to furrow overshadowing his worried eyes.

 

The room was rather spartan, with a narrow bed, a simple table next to a window and a single chair. Nothing identified it as belonging to the Archmage and Seer of the Magic School in Tarsengaard. He sat on the chair with a deep sigh, none would mistake it for a sign of relief. It took him long days to investigate the areas, as well as components, required to cast the grand spell of clairvoyance. Even though this part of the spell was clear and fairly simple, he knew that the success was as much a matter of right components as timing. The latter seemed crucial.

 

The spell structure was obvious. Four sorcerrers, he sent on their quest for knowledge weeks before, had already found places of power dominated by one of the elements of nature, earth, fire, wood and metal. To cast the spell they needed to be counterbalanced with embodiments of opposing elements, wood, water, metal and fire. They could be enchanted in mediums of the highest quality, cleansed to remove any impuritities that could blemish them. Wood could be contained in an emerald, water in a sapphire and fire in a ruby. The best medium to hold the force of metal was iron.

 

Even though the components were fairly easy to gather, the Archmage was worried. The grand spell required coordination between all four mages casting it and the time margin was much less than narrow. The places of power, where the elements were the strongest, would drain enchanted containers instantly, forcing the casters to start the ritual without delay. Moreover, all rituals just had to be started within a single mark on a candle or the results of the spell would be diminished.

 

What remained unknown was the invisible enemy. Would it continue to be distanced? Or...

 

 

OOC:

General Information:

1. Invasion in 4 maps and 4 ranges. In each of the map there will be an obvious place related to one of the elements.

2. Time: To be announced

Conditions of success:

1. Deliver defined items to 4 hidden mages according to the area they are hidden in.

2. Other conditions: Time between first item delivery and the last one delivery needs to be shorter than a single mark on a candle.

Hint 2:

Candles actually were used to measure time. You can google it :)

30th Day of Viasia, Year 47, Age of the Eternals

 

Everything was ready. The mages casting the grand spell of clairvoyance were waiting for the missing reagents were waiting at the places of power in Willovine Forest, North Redmoon Island, Zirakinbar and Desert Pines. The Archmage of Tarsengaard started gathering heroes ready to support their effort.

 

Alas, the unknown enemy would not just watch...

 

 

OOC:

1. Time, Sunday, Europe late afternoon*

2. Maps, caps and character names:

  • Desert Pines, 70, WhiteWitch
  • Zirakinbar, 100, Conjurer
  • North Redmoon Island, 130, Sangoma
  • Willovine Forest, uncap, Theurgist

3. Success condition: find the mages and deliver the required items within a candle mark between first and last - you will have to guess correctly (though, I think it will be pretty obvious) which item goes to which character

4. Success reward: invasion will last for a bit longer, players to deliver required items will receive 10k gc

5. Failure reward: invasion will be interrupted within a candle mark from the failure, next stage of this event will be significantly more difficult

 

* - should there be peace day, day of brave or any other that might interfere with the event I will postpone it till Monday or next weekend

Sorry all,

 

Due to personal reason I have to postpone the event. If I don't manage to run it during the week I will do it next Sunday.

No worries at all!

 

 

The delay will just add to the building excitement \o/

 

 

Be groovy, do your rl thing and don't worry about us. We're still going to moan and bitch about it, but it'll be moaning and bitching with love ;-P

 

 

I just hope it's not that rash & swelling again - the picture you sent last time still grosses me out...

 

 

Cya soon man \o

I think that is very good idea. Making a invasion with purpose/objective is a way to go. I can't wait to see it and read feedback after. For now I'm :icon13: :icon13: :icon13:

Hail Vanyel, blessed with creativity, lore and ambition!

 

I've really been looking forward to helping out those master mages.... my Draian spies, however, have told me that in the late hours of Satur's day no mages have taken station in their respective regions of elemental influence.

 

Have they agreed on some alternative schedule for their mighty spell, yet?

Dear all,

 

I am sorry for disappearing. Had some real life stuff to deal with. Don't we all? It seems I will be able to pick up where I left within a few days. First thing on my to-do list (after dealing with angry friends) is to run this little piece.

 

Cheers,

~me
