Title: Logistics for The Velvet Cloak
Post by: geloooo on November 21, 2011, 09:55:12 AM
[SIZE=24]The Velvet Cloak[/SIZE]


I'd like to keep the Rumors Section In-Character so I'm going to post all announcements and discussions here.

This is an RP series aimed for low-level shady character types but I encourage everyone to join the fun. Feel free to RP in-game, investigate, and brainstorm but much of the series will occur on the forums. There will be no quest times, if there is a need to go in-game, whatever it is that's needed will remain in-game for as long as the server is online. The goal here is to provide interesting development and interaction between characters that would not normally go together. I implore you to not automatically look at this as another one of Ni'haer's shady schemes (actually it is), but rather as an opportunity for your characters to grow. Imagine the fun that can be had with this experiment.

Rules and Guidelines:

ATTENTION:

All those participating in event, kindly post the times that would be most suitable for you so that I can find middle-ground. Unfortunately, I can only do this quest on Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays (Evenings), and Sundays. I shall do my best to make sure this series runs as smooth as possible. Thank you for your time.

By the way, it's not Rory.. but Fleur. ;)

CDT here and of those days Tuesday and Saturday works the best.

I can only do weekend evenings GMT from 8 PM onward, but need to be told in advance sometimes cause I may have parts of the weekend where I simply cant attend. In this weekend's case I can do saturday night to sunday early morning (just please dont start at a really late hour, 10-11 is ideal).

On that note, im back in business for three weeks once the 18th of Dec swings around! Huzzah! :p

I actually expected Ty Reid-Dragonheart to follow Fleur so Nym could make him jealous :P

I am out of town until the Nov 28th. After that I can do evenings from 10 - 12 EST. I can probably do other times on the weekend with enough warning.

Thanks for coordinating!

(EST) Anytime during the week for evenings, still doing New House stuff.  Juggling Daycare and house stuff makes things iffy, but if enough notice and not meeting utility folks ...

GMT evenings during the week, weekends are all day (and can go a little into the night)

Alright, here's the event in terms of the world clock:
Event Time Announcer (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=The+Velvet+Cloak&iso=20111127T05&p1=196&ah=1)

I think this is the best time possible for everyone. The events will be announced a week before. I'm still thinking if I can handle all three parties in one quest. If I can't I'll approach a DM who can help. Please tell me what you think. Spread the word! I know there are those lowbies out there that may be interested in joining! :)

I will give it a shot, but it would be best to join the other GMT folks then?
Title: Re: Logistics for The Velvet Cloak
Post by: geloooo on November 22, 2011, 04:48:01 AM
Up to you. Which place would your character choose? I would recommend trying the Broken Halls since there are already a lot of players in the Gloomwoods Castle slot. It is ultimately your choice. :D
Title: Re: Logistics for The Velvet Cloak
Post by: Dremora on November 22, 2011, 04:52:31 AM
Personally I'd say hook up with the Broken Halls group and ask someone to swap over or ask another player you play frequently with if they'd join you on this. I would but I've picked Caesin docks for a reason quite specific to Nym's background. :(

Oh tip: Breanna likes bad boys as you must be figuring out ;), bring Aden on this one
Title: Re: Logistics for The Velvet Cloak
Post by: Aphel on November 22, 2011, 05:08:44 AM
:D I would, of course, bring Will - because sometimes, all sneaky adventures really need is someone who just in the right moment kicks in the front door brutally, yells something along the lines of "Surrender or die" only to cause exactly thirty-eight seconds of trouble.

I'm bringing Aden on this one of course, and let him go to the broken halls (first come first served, despite being elsewhere would make more sense). Let's see who else turns up there.

"I Cannot Go Back Home"

Three roads diverged in a gloomy vale,
I tremble for I cannot choose,
Long I glimpsed at each in turn
But such shadow bars my sight;

Should I take the first which seems so fair?
Yet the stench of blood wafts in the air
Perhaps the other, so safe and quiet,
Yet full of traps unseen

Three roads diverged in a gloomy vale,
And I tremble with my choice,
I chose the one less traveled by
And I cannot go back home.

-Aden Delaveth,
Before entering the Broken Halls

Micus can join Aden in the Broken Halls - for him the choice was (almost) a toss of the dice anyway. Plus we match timezones.

Post by: geloooo on November 22, 2011, 05:58:02 AM
WHOO! Standby for further notice. I'll begin setting up the scene so that we can all begin. Those that have yet to sign up may still do so once the in-game quest is executed. :)

*Perches over Ni'haer's throne like a menacing gargoyle, and whispers annoyingly in his ear to hurry up so he can start the bloodletting and Xeenite-themed after-parties!*

//might be able to get Devarian and Maren Blackwater to a location this weekend at the time on the world time clock. They're both around level 7, so probably Dragon Isles or the Gloom Wood castle would be best for them. Most likely Gloomwood due to their levels//

Kat (Katelyn Poetr) would like to join the Broken Halls exploration.

Advance note if anything does run this weekend it will need to be from 11Pm GMT time onward on saturday night for me to be able to attend. Or early saturday morning, like 7AM till 9 or something.

Sorry, EST evening.
Title: Re: Logistics for The Velvet Cloak
Post by: Dremora on November 23, 2011, 07:44:00 PM
So late night for me; 11PM my end is 6PM for you? We could meet between 6-7 PM Saturday your time if you could make that, im afraid 1 Am start time for anything would go on too long and the next day I will be travelling :(.
Title: Re: Logistics for The Velvet Cloak
Post by: gilshem ironstone on November 24, 2011, 01:33:16 AM
Perhaps we shoot for something on a weekend afternoon then?  Morning for ystrday, evening for you?
Title: Re: Logistics for The Velvet Cloak
Post by: Dremora on November 24, 2011, 06:15:29 AM
Can't do that this weekend. I'd need to be told in advance and earliest I can do will be about 7-7:30 PM GMT (for future weekends until 18th Dec)
Title: Re: Logistics for The Velvet Cloak
Post by: geloooo on December 16, 2011, 06:47:39 AM
My sincerest apologies for suddenly disappearing but the yuletide season has transformed me into an overnight host for the ravenous horde that is my family. Now that I can at least breathe in my flat, I'll push things as planned. The first chapter should begin in-game next week! :)

Standby for updates. I'm currently coordinating with the DM regarding this. Sorry for the really long delay. Your patience will be greatly appreciated.
