Mini-Plots

[Kender Bard]

Any non-storyline plots that are being run can be posted here by anyone. Make only 1 post per plot, and keep it updated with current information. Put a note at the bottom of your plot post if the plot has concluded.

[Kender Bard]

Taking jobs off the Master Job Board counts as a mini-plot and points will be awarded accordingly. Creating a job for the board does not give reward points unless you are signing something up with a character in-game.

For example, creating a job that says "A farmer wants some mercenaries to chase off some thieves who keep stealing his crops" would not gain you any brownie points. However, creating a job that says, "Nalani would like an escort to Ilyamen." would grant me brownie points since Nalani is actually one of my characters. You DO have to play with the character if someone accepts the job, though!

Jobs can be played out in Out of Time and take place at any point in time. Multiple jobs can be played at the same time this way, but try not to be greedy. Jobs can also be played out on the main board.

Plot Name: Thug Life

Involving: Would-be bandits

Objective: Character A runs away, only to wind up in the hands of bandits. The character makes a plea to spare his life and in exchange he would join them, having some skill with a weapon and/or elemental fighting. The bandits agree and begin to show the new recruit (and possibly others) the ropes to a life as one of Bandit Lord Pip's men.

Needed: Character A, who must be young but not a child (mid-to-teen years) and have some skill with a weapon or elemental fighting. All background info on the character is up to the creator (why they ran away, what they ran from, etc.) Anyone else willing to join may play other newish recruits already settled in the local bandit camp. This will take place just about anywhere so location is unimportant but it will be based on wherever Character A comes from.

Progress: Started

The following are all mini-plots to found or start new organizations in Naruta. They would only be 1 topic long apiece.

---

Organization: Lady's Socialite Circle
Needed: Crystalander women
Founder Position Open? No
Location: Khelek
About: Would be headed by Locket and Delilah and consist of any women who wish to join. Girl's club basically.

Organization: Seafarer's Guild
Needed: Crystalander sailors
Founder Position Open? Yes
Location: Khelek
About: Sort of a mariner guild. Their goals include chasing Morilantan pirates the hell out of Khelek waters, maintaining sea trade routes with other coastal nations, a bit of exploring, etc.

Organization: The Great Hunt
Needed: Interested hunter Beasts, especially predators, Poldorans, and Belegites
Founder Position Open? Yes
Location: Beastlands
About: Members are drawn from all the clans and spend a full week hunting down whatever elusive or dangerous prey is on the menu. Would meet seasonally. Alternative idea: Formed mostly of Poldorans and Belegites (well, what remains of them) and they hunt everything they come across (a bit more in spirit of the true "great hunt".) Would be a secretive organization in either version. You need to be tapped to join. If you leak its existence, you might be on the next hunt. (So not technically 'joinable' as in you can walk up and join, but of course players who want to toss PCs into it would be able to be tapped.)

Organization: The Silent Sisters
Needed: Old Ways clan women who have freed themselves (or been freed) from their oppressive clans, abused clan women in similar situations.
Founder Position Open? Yes
Location: Naurorod
About: Women from Old Ways clans or really any clan who have been rescued from their situation and travel the desert to rescue others still, forming their own clan.

Organization: Sons of the Sun
Needed: Naurorod men under the age of 40 but older than 16.
Founder Position Open? Yes
Location: Naurorod
About: A clan-spanning organization of young men under the age of 40. No set goals, mostly similar to a frat club; just a bunch of warriors who consider themselves 'elite' amongst other warriors. Will spar on sight if bumping into another 'Sunson' from another clan if conditions are permissible. Complete with secret hand signals and a code of brothership.

Organization: The Refined Gentlemen's Club
Needed: Maelstrom men of upper-middle and upper classes.
Founder Position Open? Yes
Location: Maelstrom
About: A group of men who feel that the power of Maelstrom should remain in the hands of the elite and old blooded and not the queen or the princess (and whatever poor bastard she marries, unless it's one of them of course.) Members must be upper-middle class or nobles only. Use their money and influence to try and run Maelstrom how they want.

Organization: Permissible Entrapment Club
Needed: Clears and Elementals who have a positive outlook on permissible slavery.
Founder Position Open? Yes
Location: Reave
About: A very secretive club of Clears and their enslaved Elementals who feel that the master-slave relationship is perfectly fine if both parties agree to it before the actual ensnarement. Also act as a support group for Clears who have Elemental family.

Organization: Anti-enslavement Establishment
Needed: Clears
Founder Position Open? Yes
Location: Reave
About: Similar to the idea of the Companion Liberation Group... Clears who are EXTREMELY anti-slavery to the point that they prowl around Naruta to separate slaves from their masters at any cost.

Organization: Merchant's Guild
Needed: Merchants
Founder Position Open? Yes
Location: Ilyamen
About: Kind of a mix of all our other guilds (setting their own agenda, overseeing their influence on the market, etc etc) and the Refined Gentleman's Club. While they have no political agenda, precisely, they do keep their ranks only for the most vaunted of company and would consider themselves the 'overseers' of the general free market.
