    Reckless Abandon Oversight

    Due to the cleverness, wisdom and repeated prodding of a certain Wenn, this here thread be about all our out of character chitchat, thoughts, ideas and discussions concerning the up-and-coming FQ story arc I'll be keeping an eye on. This will be a futile attempt at keeping the carnage, confusion and commotion inside some kind of enormous orderly bubble.

    I have a conclusion in mind for how things will eventually resolve, but everyone involved can bend and influence the story along the way. This will not be a railroad. That's not how I like to DM/GM games. Think of it as an yet-to-be built water-slide at a theme park. I know there be a pool yer going ta land in, and the launch pad be in Stonevale (which everyone who's anyone has been to before, right?) but the curvy bits in tha middle be yours ta shape as ye see fit.

    I'd love to hear any feedback, questions or curve balls you have in mind.
    So I’m cutting that branch off the cherry tree.
    Singing this will be my victory.
    Then I, I see them coming after me.
    And they’re following me across the sea.
    And now they’re stinging my friends and my family.
    And I, I don’t know why this is happening.

    Grackle will work on converting as many refugees as she can. But Grackle will be smart. You can’t just burn people alive when trying to build a movement.

    I plan on having it be a small number of NPCs. How big Grackle’s movement gets will depend on other PCs in the thread. If a player character joins I think it only fair that a large chunk of NPCs also come with them (though I can’t imagine anyone’s character joining a sun cult). If those in the thread deem it more interesting to have an evil cult grow large I can make that work too. I had intended on it being small though, a desperate number of refugees looking for anything to believe in grasp hard unto the ideals of one crazed kenku and the other players in the thread have to grapple with how to handle their religious freedoms.
    Excuse me, do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Savior, Sol the Glorious Flame in the Sky?

    My thought is mostly that Fenn is tagging along mostly as another refugee — because he, too, does not desire being consumed by flamey rocky death — and that he could help fight any firey environmental hazards along the way! And also, be mildly freaked out by the fure cult-“~.

    We starting out with any particular backdrops/scenarios for the fleeing, or should we work that out together now?

    I guess Phyr would be a refugee as well? He may have a connection to Yvonne already from Guns and Ammunition, and he has some useful skills as we've discussed. I will probably be rolling with the finding his family storyline, although that part may wait until they're in Dheathain. I'm open to pretty much anything though. Only so much a one-armed shadowy drow can do on his own.

    You're more than welcome to keep this thread open, Yvonne, but as a GM you'll be required to work with me in an active "oversight" thread that I've yet to post. Just keep that in mind!

    That's fine. I can keep an eye on multiple threads. This one is to keep fenn's panicked antenna wobbles to a minimum and run brainstorming by all the writers involved. I'd like to allow a lot of freedom in how everyone responds to situations while simultaneously keeping the pace in a hurry. A tenuous balance to weave.

    As for initial setting my first idea was to literally have volcanic hellfire rocks raining down from the sky, destroying parts of our beloved Stonevale. They'd occasionally crash down and block obvious escape routes - other times the burning boulders would crush nearby buildings we remember fondly from past threads. We'd need to find new and clever escape routes for the panicked people, usher/drag them along to get to ships Yvy has organized with her old mentor, at rest just off the coast.

    Now I'm not the most imaginative person so any crackpot ideas ye got ta make it better, by all means. Add yer spice ta tha mix.

    Can't see how flaming molten rain and wooden boats could possibly go wrong.

    Do not worry poor refugees. Grackle can assure you’ll be safe aboard the wooden boats.

    Teehee, 'tis my thinking exactly. It's not going to be pretty and not every ship will make it, but that's life. We got a lot of people to move out of the danger zone and not every townie will survive.

    We will need to 'pick our battles' a bit, help who we can but if we linger too long and try to save everyone bad stuff will happen. It's a super volcano, to be taken seriously lol.
