| 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 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.)

| 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!

|
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.
|
| 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.)
|

(The scene is open for Guilds to recruit, and for players to peruse the various guilds)

| 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.

| 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.

| Ship to Ninetails Dominion
|
2020 August 10th
|
As a major hub of trade ships regularly sail to and from the Ninetails Dominion. Frequently adventurers can be found aboard these ships for a variety of reasons. Diplomatic efforts, trade merchants, hired guards from the Hunters Guild, or simply to travel and see what Yamato has to offer. Recently a giant hourglass has been seen counting down in Dun Loireag, the capital of the Ninetails Dominion, and this has led to many adventurers travelling there to research it or prepare for what is rumored to be a major event of some kind.
((OOC: This is a casual social scene for those that want to RP travelling to the Ninetails Dominion.))

| 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.
|
| Three Alliances Meet
|
2020 November 30th
|
After meeting with the Undead Queen, Giganpor has chosen to share the information with the other Alliances besides just the New World Alliance. Among this is also the chance for all three Alliances to share information if they so wish besides just the Undead Army threat. Since it is a large group of people, Giganpor has secured Isekai Ryokan for the purpose of it.
OOC: Social scene. Tentative date. Since it is after IRL Thanksgiving if people can not make it and want to be there, @mail Giganpor and he can reschedule. Time is earlier to allow people time and such due to IRL work. Can be even earlier if people want. Have at thee!
