UNSEELIE ROUNDUP
Unseelie gang!
On April 8th, Lambton worms will have begun burrowing to the surface, and may be come across outside the castles.
On April 12, proclamations will be posted about the castle alerting PCs to the advent of the Lambton Worms, which have decimated food supplies and devoured the innocents in the towns of Glaschu. Slaying these worms is one of the few ways for characters to earn some initial income as, 'their innards will hold precious stones and gold coin', but slaying them is also the first means by which characters may win a boon of their monarchs!
How is this relevant to you?
On April 9, I intend to have Celegorm ride out with a small party to get the lay of the land and investigate their new home's defenses; if this is meant to be a war, surely they should ensure they're well-defended! This group will come upon a worm, which will attack them on sight.
That will give these characters some familiarity with the creatures by the official announcement on April 12! At which point Celegorm will likely attempt to reel in the remainder of the Unseelie shardholders into making a concerted effort at clearing the area of the pests.
Those without battle experience or even with non-combatant characters are encouraged to hop on-board! It should be easy to find a fit for everyone in a plot like this. :)
PHASE 1 - Journeying outside the castle, coming upon a worm. LOG POSTED!
For ease of threading, I'll be splitting folks up into three smaller groups rather than two bigger ones, and when I post the log, give you guys the option of having me DM the thread and NPC the wormbecause I love DMing.
Group 1 --- Celegorm, Ganondorf, Kano
Group Sass --- Grell, Ariadne, Anders
Group 3 ---- Maglor, Kido, Will, Sebastian
PHASE 2 - Worm hunting for reasons! LOG POSTED!
Unless otherwise requested, groups will be mixed up for for phase 2, and likely include additional characters!
Group Sass --- Grell, Ariadne, Anders, Maglor ( clearing out the larder )
Group 2 --- Javik, Jaime, Sebastian ( clearing out the dungeons pt. 1 )
Group 3 --- Celegorm, Kano, Kido ( clearing out the nests of hatchlings in the wells )
Group 4 --- House, Daud, Will ( clearing out the courtyards )
Group 5 --- Peter, Skullkid, Ganondorf ( clearing out the dungeons pt. 2 )
WRAP UP - What Next?
The event was pretty short, all said and done, so nobody feel pressured to finish the logs by the end of the event itself! Everything is *super* backtag friendly; just communicate with your group members to keep things rolling, and endings can be handwaved if they need to be! I tried to put people who match the same pace together. :)
Participating with your character in all this means two things!
1) Dolla dolla bills! Because these creatures eat gold and gems as often as people, by killing them your characters makes money. Congratulations! You can now buy things: better clothes, better armor, a horse, small windmill, old tomes, a young orchard-- your character arrived penniless into a thriving economy and now has the means to participate! If you're one of those people who wants to crunch the numbers and see how much you're likely to have made, I'm happy to work that out with you! Otherwise, use your best judgement and don't spend it all in one place!
2) The monarchs owe you! At the end of the event will open an OOC request form where you'll place what you'd like to request of the monarchs! These can be anything from the return of an item from home or a special power. They do not need to have belonged to the character or previously have been in their possession. Once the cut-off date for requests is passed, a list of approved items/abilities (with any alterations as discussed between player and mod beforehand) will be posted. The receipt of boons, I understand, is going to be handwaved and not played out. So think on what you'd like to ask for!

Have fun? Awesome! You can bet that Celegorm's going to remember your character's name and face, and likely gonna check in on them from time to time, and is 100% likely to try to reel them in to othermisadventures!
