Steel (and any other self-proclaimed Triple S members who wish to do so either on their own or with Steel) spends weeks traveling the southern border of Kuhl (northern Nesar) between Miritrix and Nith, scouting the number of checkpoints and troops. He's looking for a rough estimate of how many troops patrol the southern border at any given time, as well as what kind of troops (recruits, drachs, etc.), and timing of the border patrols, if in fact there are troops that troll the border along with those that guard the check points and roads.
In short, he's looking for two things:
1) The opportunity to hit an isolated group of soldiers in a forested region away from major roadways and cities.
2) Which checkpoint on the southern border is weakest at a given time, providing the opportunity to hit a unit of GDC troops where witnesses (such as traveling merchants) can describe the scene.
Those other strikers that wish to participate, if you have anything else you want to add, or are looking for something different than Steel, feel free to post that here for the plot GMs to review and respond.

//just as another point, don't know if it's helpful or not, but the event in the deep, due to the time bubbling effect and Dezza not being a "mean" GM (per his own words
) to keep three of our characters locked for 2 months... that event happened at least 2 years ago in game time.... which would mean Steel has had time to come back and start trouble elsewhere since then.
-
//// Assuming Steel has found a suitable target, I think it's about time we see what the GDC army is made of, yeah?
To elaborate, Steel will use whatever information about potential targets along the Kuhl border he may/may not have found to formulate a plan of attack with other self-proclaimed Triple-S'ers. And, following that, naturally, comes the series of hit-and-run attacks. Let me know what else you (the Plot GMs) need from me/the Triple-S strikers (more explanation, patience, etc.). ////

Just letting you know that something is in the workings to address this - we are not ignoring you. ;)
-
//// A number of folks, both continuing and new Triple S members, showed for this (http://forums.layonara.com/rumour-has/281819-word-trickles-out.html) event. In short, Steel lead the attendees to Fort Miritrix to prepare for the moves against the GDC in Kuhl. He and Viper also explained various bits if information and some of the targets. ////

// What timezone are you guys in - or most of you at least? Trying to figure out whether this can happen on a week day or whether it has to be a weekend. Also, if during weekends, what time would suit this group best?
-
//I'm EST, but my son has soccer from 9-10am on Saturdays, so preferably after 10:30am on Saturdays if possible or any other time during the weekend.
Thanks!
-
//EST time here. After 6pm is good for me. Any day if fine but Saturday can be tricky as I like to watch my Noles (FSU football Amercian) play.
-
/// Wow, I totally missed your post, Harlas. CST (EST-1, GMT-6) here. Sunday and late Saturday mornings are best, though I can squeeze in a weekday with enough advance notice. ///
-
Sorry for not getting back to you earlier, guys. RL has a good and tight hold on me these days - and for some reason I never invested in tumble. ;)
Anyway, I want to run this and would very much prefer a weekday. Sadly, being in India, this will not work at all for any of you guys. Weekends, however, are so very tight for me. Next weekend is not possible due to parents visiting, but I will try for the one after that.
I will keep you posted.
-
//GMT+2, but I have been known to stretch to EST evenings. Any day of the week or weekend should be doable
-
est evenings after eight except Friday, and weekends depending on my busy social calendar (rolls eyes at self)
-
It is late notice, but please take a look at this calendar event: http://forums.layonara.com/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=17778&day=2010-12-3
Can you guys make that?
-
//I think I could swing that
-
Nope, will be at work - gl guys!
-
That's Friday morning here. I'll be working.
-
Thanks for quick feedback, guys.
I have moved it one week to next Saturday. Does that work better?
-
////I should be able to make it on that Saturday.
-
I could've made it Friday, but Aerimor couldn't. Neither of us can make it that saturday because we'll be moving that weekend.
-
Satyrday should work for me
-
// Judging from the sign-ups this is not going to happen on Saturday. You need a good sized group for this quest. :)
Could Sunday work - starting time 2 hours earlier?
That is just about my last possibility for a weekend event before I am off for 3 weeks on christmas vacation.

Provided we get our internet working in the new house this week, we should be able to do Sunday at that time.
-
I could do Sunday two hours earlier, yeah.
-
should be ok for me
-
Two hours earlier on Sunday is fine for me.
-
sounds good to me
-
// Alright. I have changed the calendar event to Sunday - 1 hour earlier than the previous posting. :)
I will update the quest posting in the weekend (when I find time to lay down the plans).
Please sign up asap, so I get an idea about the group that will be attending.
Thanks, Harlas
-
Sounds good to me

FYI: this thread and the Dragon Storm Campaign Forum posts do not show up on the Layo home page. The only way I ever see these posts is if I happen to do a search for "new posts sorted by last post". Seems to me these forum posts should be front n center and made more visible since they are plot related; and this may get you more responses and involvment.
