Plot Finale --- Stormcry Hollows
« on: May 11, 2011, 12:15:57 am »
// My dear players :)

The finale quest, where a strike force is aiming an attack on the hidden Cult base at the Stormcry Hollows will be ran by myself. Preparations have been ongoing for said event, but I still feel the need to stress a few things before the quest on the 21st of May.

1. Come prepared. There will be no time for hourly planning sessions before the quest takes off for real. If that should happen the quest will fail. There will be a timer on the quest that is triggered by certain events. So, please, for everybody's sake, meet to plan in game or use the forums to plan a strategy before the 21st of May.
The strategy should include proposed answers to questions like: What is the scope of this mission? How do we get there? How do we plan to get in? What do we do once we're inside? Do we have all that we need to complete our mission? Which scenarios are we likely to face? What are the risks? Etc.

2. Danger level. Due to its nature this quest will be both dificult and dangerous. I suggest that only levels above 15 participate in said event (that means if you have a good reason to be there and your character is not lvl 15, then please PM me). This is open for discussion, however, and depends on the number of people that sign up for this event.

3. At some point in the quest, the party will be within the sphere of influence of a bloodpool, meaning Soul Strand loss is assured if death occurs.

4. Calendar event has been added - please sign up if you plan on joining: http://forums.layonara.com/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=17918&day=2011-5-21

The calendar event has been updated with a new starting time. Please sign up in order to give me a chance to plan for the correct party size.

Also, only 4 days left. Do you have a strategy? ;)

 Um..keep the group alive long enough so they can kill everything?
 
 
 Make that so they can accomplish the objective. ;)

There was a plan suggested a long time ago when Daniella originally appointed Steel in charge of the strike team.  The plan was to go in under stealth, find the Broken One/bloodpool and neutralize it, then get out as quickly as possible and without alerting as many people as possible.  I don't know if anyone is still planning this, but it was originally ordered as a decisive surgical strike, not something where people went in and tried to kill everyone in sight.  If people get to the target and destroy it, likely everyone else will be killed in the explosion we expect to happen from neutralizing it anyways.  The primary target is to destroy the bloodpool.  I'll send the orders in character on the other thread, though, if necessary.

Given that the Last Hope arc is still running, I've had a hard time working out which of the two finales Argali would participate in. However, if Stormcry Hollows is going to be a stealth mission, then Castle Hilm would seem to be the logical choice.

You have to go to central server, then go to quest server, methinks, since quest is set to mimic central.
