Apocalypse I-a - Apocalypse Now
|
2020 July 12th
|
10... 9... 8...
The old year is coming to an end. Some players are gathered in the various Kingdom squares. There are no guilds here. Only people celebrating the coming of a new year. Comraderie.
7... 6... 5...
The excitement rises with each number subtracted. People hold eachother by the shoulders, smiling up at the enormous letters displayed in the skies by the administration. Other people are at various New Year events. A group of Grunty Races try to make it over the finish line in time to win their prize!
4... 3... 2...
The visual display grows dim for a moment. A little flicker. And then... a sound.
A single tone.
1...
01010010011100100110100001100001001000000111000001100001011010110111001100100000011001010111001001110010011000010010000001100010011001010111100001101101001000000110000101101010011001010010000001100011011010010110010101101100001000000111100101101111011100100111001001100001
As all realize they are in their Kingdom of origin, gathered throughout the city...
As something is happening in the skies.

Duty Session 9: Gnoll it All
|
2020 July 13th
|
A powerful Gnoll has been reported as creating havoc within one one of the low-level Forest zones. The Berserker and his allies have been making things difficult for both Adventurers and Landers.

|
Duty Session 11: Obligatory Rat Cellar
|
2020 July 13th
|
In each of the starting cities, there are at least a couple of poor merchant landers who have developed mysterious rat problems. This is clearly bad for business! A worried looking Lander stands outside their shop, rubbing their hands together, looking anxious, flagging down any passing Adventurer they can find to help.
(Note: This Duty has multiple possible paths/challenges/rewards.)

|
2020 July 14th

Duty Session 21: Spinner's End
|
2020 July 17th
|
The Landers in the Town of Beginnings seem to have a never ending string of trouble that comes their way. A few of the local Lander blacksmiths have complained that they are struggling to get the raw ore that they need. Apparently, the nearby mines have been overwhelmed with beasts and monsters, making it hard for the miners to continue their excavation efforts. It blips as an optional side-quest with a reward of improving the available resources in the Town of Beginnings.
(OOC Note: There are two possible duty-end rewards for this quest.)
|
Duty Session 13: Goblin Scouts in the Field
|
2020 July 17th
|
A porcelain quest has been offered to the Hunters Guild. There's reports of Goblin Scouts in the Eastal Free League region, close to the ruins of a place called 'Shibuya'. The region is largely open fields, with a lot of tall weeds. But there's old roads in the region that still carry some people who go to that region to gather some special herbs that can't be found anywhere else. The request requires the disposal of these goblins.
|
Floor 1: The First Push
|
2020 July 18th
|
Brave guilds, parties and soloers have been slowly poking at the first floor of Aincrad Tower. Progress has been slow due to uncertainty, low levels and a desire to avoid testing the Death theory. A wall has finally been hit where a larger push will be required to overcome it. As such, a strong, coordinated charge into the floor has been organized. Notices have been made. All Adventurers are invited.
Hellooooooo Adventurers! This is your host Misa Takayama. I'm going to be running a scene for the first major push into floor 1 of Aincrad Tower. THIS IS NOT THE FLOOR BOSS FIGHT. That will be coming later. But there will be fighting of mobs. EVERYONE IS INVITED. But I highly encourage to-be-eventually-formed Scale Emblem Alliance members to join in. It'll be a good hook for the formation of the guilds and subsequent alliance. After all, our whole alliance is basically focused on clearing the tower. But as I said, everyone is invited. I'm sure the majority of you have some reason to challenge the tower and the mobs inside.
It's unlikely to be card combat as I expect numbers to be too high for that... Though if the numbers do turn out to be small, I'm certainly happy to give a go at bossing in the card system. But I will try and come up with things to at least use dice rolls for.
I hope people will enjoy this!

Duty Session 24: The Ezzo Rescue
|
2020 July 19th
|
With the successful organization of a multi-ship fleet, it's going to take a long time to get everyone off of Ezzo Empire's island. It's not just a case of having to bring people off of the island, but also bringing enough food to make sure those that are there do not starve to death.
|
Apocalypse IV - Rescue
|
2020 July 19th
|
With some of the people of Ezzo already getting off of Ezzo, thanks to the hurried preparations of various Adventurers, more money is being put towards getting even more off of the island. But with the constant movement of ships, people have started to draw attention from things that lurk Beneath the Waters...

Duty Session 26: Convoy Escort Quest I
|
2020 July 21st
|
Escort quests, the bane of any experienced gamer. Assisting people who are unable to defend themselves as they trudge slowly through dangerous environments on a preset path. When implemented well, they're a chore - when implemented poorly, they're a nightmare.
The merchant guilds and the People of the Land will pay handsomely to see this convoy deliver its goods - and its people - to the destination, and your group is needing to head that way anyway for your own reasons, so it's time to hitch up and hit the road. It can't be all that bad of a quest, right? Two days of travel will fly right on by.
(Note: This Duty takes several IC days to complete.)

Ghosts of Alne
|
2020 July 22nd
|
Silent apparitions stalk the streets of Alne. Ghostly phenomena are whispered of but rarely verified. In the dead quiet of the city spread beneath Aincrad Tower, food appears on tables without a hand to serve them. Sounds echo strangely while light flickers in the heart of empty buildings.
There is a story to be told here.
Interested parties are invited to investigate the southern reaches of the City of Ash for a chance to glimpse the mystery running throughout, while Nureha and her hand-picked scouts have a secondary purpose to their searching, running along the rooftops and slipping through the alleyways as they search the vast abandoned reaches for a place to call home.
OOC Note: Hello, folks! This will most likely be a Spooky Investigation and Random Poking things scene. Everyone is invited as Plant Hwyaden cruises Totally Not Silent Hill for a place to bed down for the night (hopefully with softer beds than the inn. Those things are giving me a crick in the neck.)
To Adventure!

Arts and Crafts
|
2020 August 3rd
|
The Alne Workshop 'Ikigai' created by the combined efforts of the crafter community is slated to open it's doors to the general public soon, providing a place where crafters of all skill levels can freely come and practice their art and share their expertise regarding the current system and low level recipes.
The workshop is still small in it's developing stages and not entirely free. Plant Hwyaden is asking that those wishing to share their expertise and research the ongoing anomalies in the higher level recipes consider allying with the workshop using a Discovery Contract, which prevents abuse from either side.
OOC Note: This is a social/research scene where information will be shared and research done on the crafting system. Right now the Workshop has a focus on Artisany, Forging, Cooking, Tailoring and Alchemy. Though all crafting concepts are welcome, those listed have better support.
A 'Discovery' Contract is simply that the restoration of higher level recipes or the creation of any new recipe inside 'Ikigai' is the property of the creator, but that a portion of money made from that recipe going forwards goes to bettering the Workshop and Plant Hwyaden as a whole.

Various guilds have gotten together, led by the Scale Emblem Alliance, with plans to raid the first boss of the Tower. Formerly, it was always possible to open the doors and scout inside, and report on what is there. As such, the first team moves in, in order to get scouting under way.
But the plan goes awry.
Warning: As the boss system right now is a heavy weight on the system, and we are still balancing things out, we will be using Concept Roll based combat for this go around. Folk will be given 2 Evasion/Shield Failures during this battle, and a 3rd one if they wish to wager a Memory to stay in the battle.

Duty Session 78: Is It Wrong to Pick Up Slimes in a Dungeon?
|
2020 August 13th
|
There are plenty of places in Alne that seem to have been left abandoned up until recently. The influx of Adventurers and Landers have caused empty areas of the city to become occupied in quick order. As the city is surrounded by water, it is also particularly prone to infestations of slimes. Landers are reporting that they are having trouble getting water into some areas of the city. They are asking for Adventurers who might be brave enough to face the sewers and waterways beneath the city to clear out some of the slimes in order to help get the water flowing again.
Difficulty: Moderate Rec. Party: 3+ Rewards: 3 World Rewards: Increases in clean water availability in Alne.

Valentine's Day Festivities
|
2020 August 26th
|
n the past, certain limited time events would usually be announced using bulletin boards or other out-of-game announcements. However, with the approach of Valentine's Day, many of the Root Towns are beginning to put up colorful decorations. Landers dialogue now seems to include mentions of the upcoming holiday. In Japan, it is customary for girls to give gifts to the men in thier lives for this particular holiday, leading to much whispering and gossip amongst the Landers.
While each of the Root Towns are hosting some manner of simple festivities, a more elaborate festival is being hosted within the Ninetails Dominion. Part in thanks for the aid of Adventurers who supported them during the recent Wave of Calamity, and in part to draw more business to the region. Setup has already begun in Dun Loireag for what promises to be a night of revelry.
(OOC: Social event to celebrate IC Valentine's Day. Shop owners/crafters may have booths to sell their wares. Cooks may have food stalls. Adventurers may host booths with games of chance. Socialize, exchange gifts, eat, drink, dance and be merry.)

What is certain, is that the spiders in the mines now known as Spinner's End, had to have come from somewhere. Danger lies on the unknown path ahead. Are you brave enough to face it?

Once reclaimed, the fortress of Karluin will be a second or third home for Adventurers making their way up the tower.

It has been a year of Adventurers delving into the underground of various cities across Yamato, seeking to eliminate the rat infestation that has caused so many shopkeepers trouble. After all this time, something finally seems to have changed. The shopkeeper's dialogue has changed, explaining that while repairing their cellars, they found a passageway into a deeper part of the underground. Since then, rats have been finding their way up through the previously sealed passage.
Now, they are seeking brave Adventurers who are willing to, once again, explore the tunnels beneath the city, in order to seek out this new source of rats.

2022 May 8th

Last year, the Quick-Feather Peko Ranch organized a Monster Race to promote its services. This year the ranch has been evacuated. Somehow, the Monster Race seems to have been organized again.
Who did it? Is it still an official endeavour of the Quick-Feather Peko Ranch? Did someone else do it? Is this a mere event for the sake of entertainment, or is there a more sinister plot being hatched to the detriment of our Yamato Aventurers and their allies, the Uncrowned? Come and find out!
(Spoiler alert -- it's a mere event for the sake of entertainment)
The event will work pretty much like a Peko Race, with the IC difference that people will be riding monsters instead of pekos. Characters who do not have the Handle Monster concept themselves will ride alongside an NPC Monster Handler who will control the monster, while the PC Adventurers take care of the challenges. People who do not have a monster ride can borrow one for the duration of the race. Show off your monster ride if you have one, and make up your own temporary one if you don't!
The concepts to be rolled will be: Law, Etiquette, Evasion, Handle Monster, Magical.

Having lost their hold on Shibuya, the Palace Landers have begun looking for 'weak links' in the defenses of the Yamato Adventurers.

Duty Session 524: Fireball Solves Everything

2022 November 5th
|
Scattered throughout the forests of Eastal, a number of structures which are believed to have been used for religious rituals in honor to The Burning Goddess lie abandoned. It is said that some of them still contain Igneous Stones, specially crafted rocks used to stabilize and control flames. The secret of their manufacture has been lost to time, and scholars all over Yamato are willing to pay well for some samples to study in the hope to re-discover how they were made. As usual, the encountered challenges will require a variety of skills and ability to be overcome, but due to the special attunement of these structures with the element of Fire, the cooldown time for flame-related Artes is reduced dramatically, thus making this mission a favorite of people who specialize in this style of combat.

Duty Session 537: Shrine of the Dragon King
|
2022 December 12th
|
Far from any Root Town, nestled deep in the misty ravines in the southern reaches of the Palace Lands, there is rumored to sleep an ancient altar sacred to the divine spirit, Longwang. Unfortunately, without any local adventurers to cull their numbers, the shrine has been all but overrun by monstrous apes. Now running rampant, the mad monkeys need to be put down to restore some semblance of holiness to the shrine. Perhaps Longwang will award a blessing to those who fight to cleanse this sacred space? But even if he does not, the high-level monsters in the area are sure to drop some pretty substantial loot!

Meet the... Marchioness?
|
2023 April 24th
|
There is news coming out of the Fourland Dukedom. The Baroness of Eas is deep in negotiations to expand her territory. Rumors hint at the Baroness Wake to have the title of Marchioness conferred upon her. Among those more closely tied to the talks going on behind the scenes, there are some jokes relating to the Adventurer getting fleeced by having to pay a duke's ransom for the promotion.
Seeking help from her fellow adventurers, Wake has put out a call for experts in commerce, cartography, and politics (as well as the generally creative!) to help her turn the tables on this seemingly lopsided deal. She's outmaneuvered two Dukes before, but this time she's going to need more than her own cleverness as all four of them have a say in matters.
This scene will not use an HP Bar, but +rolls are to be expected and will matter! Good ideas will shape the future of this nascent city-state.
Light lunch and refreshments will be provided. This scene is taking place in Eas.

Gwen Pendragon is organizing a fundraiser for the Red Chain (in-world equivalent of the Red Cross). To tie into the spirit of the Bonded Hearts festival, she is setting up a date auction! With a twist, to appeal to a gamer audience.
If you want your character to be up for auction, you can volunteer for charity or be voluntold by one of the organizers. Bidding on those up for auction is open to all.
This scene will focus on the potential dates being pitched; it will start at the listed time, and in the spirit of Festival-themed Socials, there will be opening poses, then it will be kept going for at least one day to allow all timezones to take part."

The Hole Situation
|
2023 September 19th
|
The Alliances have located a Drive Machine, which is supposedly able to interact with the Cosmosphere, within an abandoned research complex.

Which will require those skilled in Mining, Construction and manipulating the Earth to accomplish, but any and all support is welcome.
OOC: This will be an ongoing deal similar to the date auction, with the log/scene open for several days so people can RP and contribute as their time allows. Even if you don't have the primary concepts (Mining, Construction, Earth) you can come roleplay and find supportive uses for the skills you do have! (ie Cooking to keep the workers fed, patrol the area for security, ect)
