A one stop shop for all your plotting/touch base needs! A couple of starting thoughts:

• The best format for this might be a closed long with no tag order to keep things moving, as long as that works for everyone? We can also break out certain portions of the adventure if some of us are more into one aspect than others.

• What kinds of thoughts or feelings do we want shared? Would it make more sense to set that portion up as a space for one-on-one threads to make the most of those CR building moments?

• How successful do we want them to be? Do we want to go for the reward?

I figure we can use this to compile our questions/plan and take this over to Ruxi when we're all ready. Threadjack/comment/track as needed!

The problem with both the beacon and the back-up is finding ways to not blow their cover story, I think. Like I guess they could claim interest for some research reasons?

As a back-up I know Wrathion is personally very interested in the village's patron, the Beastmaster, but I absolutely cannot think of a casual way to ask that without generating some elaborate OH YOUR VILLAGE IS SO FASCINATING AND WELL LOOKED AFTER lie, lmao, and he's feeling very prickly and anxious about drawing attention to himself so wouldn't want to directly ask himself.

Well, the upside of Allison is they could ask for the information and then she could rumor him to forget that they asked for it. (Which could also mean that they don't really need the favor, necessarily, but Allison will feel less gross about it if it's rumoring to protect their cover vs. stealing information that could have been willingly given.)

INTERESTING GAMBLE.

If Allison was convinced it would work he'd be down for her trying, but like, with one foot out the door just in case if you know what I mean.

Depending on how in deep she is with her Pride curse her confidence may vary, but generally speaking the rumors work as intended, she just has to be careful with her wording.

I've been thinking on this bc -- as you know -- I suffer by being drawn to characters that are way, way more cunning than me and I want the gift/favor to be g o o d. I also potentially have been considering a blank check a la Teleios in a when-we-need-you way? But I don't know if that would work. So I'm still at the drawing board and will come back with more suggestions!!
