Bladesinger

Misa Takayama has never been much of a gamer. But an accident left her injured for some time, during which she discovered Elder Tale and became enthralled by it. However, once she began her career as a kindergarten teacher she found herself drifting away from Elder Tale, focusing on her work. Fast forward several years, Misa is a lot more comfortable in her job. Invited to Elder Tale Online by an old friend, she decides to give it a try, once more diving into the virtual world. Misa is a very organized individual, which has translated into her gaming as she prefers to act as support and is often found helping to organize players in parties and guilds. Her focus on structure and her no-nonsense attitude have earned her a reputation akin to a military officer and the nickname of 'Major'.

"This is disappointing. My kindergarten students have more teamwork and coordination than all of you. Let's try this again." - Misa Takayama

Scenes

Name Date Summary
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.

As all realize they are in their Kingdom of origin, gathered throughout the city...

As something is happening in the skies.
Is This The Real Life? Is This Just Fantasy? 2020 July 12th
Of new beginnings and people who didn't get enough sleep.
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.)
A Forging We Will Go 2020 July 13th
With some resources at hand from merchants and killing in the fields, Giganpor has started up a forge to see what he can do. People coming by also seems to be a thing that happens! Lots of people! Especially those looking for crafters with all that is going on.
Alne Investigation 2020 July 14th
A group of players trying to gather more concrete information about their situation investigated around Alne, discussed with other players, and tried to use their real world skills to determine what may be occurring.

After some digging the information that transpired between Balmung and Kite was recorded and another player who may have a new clue was found - Masaharu Ogata.

Those who are interested are welcome to join as the results of this investigation are discussed.
Exchanging of Harvests 2020 July 14th
After deciding upon a time and place with Misa Takayama, L'Anya arrives to meet with the major and offer some harvested materials.
Alliance: Roundtable 2020 July 15th
The heads of various functional Guilds call together an initial meeting to talk about how to tackle the current crises that the players find themselves in.

OOC: This scene starts the building up of the Alliances, and is Invite Only. If you believe you should be in this event, @mail Liminality.
Macro and Micro Politics 2020 July 15th
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.)
Duty Session 22: 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.)
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!
Meeting Hour: Old King Gilgamesh 2020 July 20th
Seated upon the throne amidst the Land of Beginnings, the old King, Gilgamesh, is allowing a few limited Adventurers to enter his palace in order to strike up a meeting with him.
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!
Combat Training 2020 July 24th
With so many inexperienced players now getting involved with the Scale Emblem Alliance they are organizing regular combat drills to help train their recruits. They have also opened this training up to players outside of the alliance as show of good faith and to help players adjust to their current situation.

OOC: Players will be paired off against each other for 1v1 card combat. There will be OOC tutorial information for any players that request it.
Duty Session 27: Spinner's End 2020 July 24th
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 29: Goblin Scouts in the Field 2020 July 26th
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.
Recruitment Fair 2020 July 31st
The Main Square of Alne is proud to receive the first Recruitment Fair! Are you still playing solo, or new to the game? Don't know what guild to join? Don't know what they have to offer even? Come and meet personally with the guilds so you can make a better decision!

Recruitment Fair is an initiative of the Hamelin Guild, the Nero Idol Reika will also be part of the event.

(The scene is open for Guilds to recruit, and for players to peruse the various guilds)
A Missing Proposal 2020 August 4th
Kita makes a proposal to the people at the top about helping to bring missing people back to friends and family.
Climb: The Floor 1 Boss 2020 August 9th
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.
RTA: Matters of Importance 2020 August 24th
The representatives of the Round Table Alliance are called to an emergency meeting by Shiroe of the New World Alliance with some rather disturbing news. How they approach the matter from here on could very well affect the social norm of Adventurers as time goes on.
The Sands of the Deep 2020 August 31st
While searching the second floor of Aincrad for the next floor dungeon, an exploration team finds themselves under assault from something. Something big. Beneath the sand. And it has a taste for Adventurer flesh!

Field encounter on the second floor of Aincrad. All are welcome. Most likely concept rolling combat!
Climb: The Floor 2 Boss 2020 September 6th
Adventurers are looking a lot more confident, having beaten the first floor boss. It'd been different, so they're prepared to send more people in this time. No doubt, this is going to be easier than the first time! So goes the theory.

The Scale Emblem Alliance once again leads the charge into another Boss Room, crossing the desert, expecting to battle Asterius the Taurus King; an enormous armored humanoid taurus.
Scale Emblem Meeting: Advance 2020 October 11th
A few of the big names in the Scale Emblem Alliance are being called to join a meeting in Tolbana. The agenda is being kept on the downlow at the moment.

OOC: Scale Emblem Alliance event, social and on the smaller side. Come meet your Alliance Leaders.
