RP Notes: GWII (NINJAS); The notes on Ninjas!

Let's start with notes for the NINJA mission. We've used this location in a massive Live RP, but it established some interesting facts.

Live RP Part I

Live RP Part II

I THINK that is the only time it's come up but will edit in any other uses.

Fun facts. There are, at the minimum, a wise old man who walks very slowly and a child ninja who had Spaz accidentally steal his ear. It's mostly a comedy tribute to ninjas.

Konall once conquered it, supposedly in an act of self defense. For rampaging and pillaging the town, he become known as a local hero. He was given a 'loft of honor,' but hasn't been back in some time.

There were more evil ninjas to the north but I think we took them out during the Live RP.

Konall at one point set a hut on fire to avoid an ambush, but it sat there, supposedly burning for all eternity. Konall shrugged and walked in.

See Live RP for more! It was a fun Live RP.

The goal of the Ninja village is to deal with the slavers, who've taken control of most of the village. They have a machine which will let them bring back their recently killed. We don't know what the potential applications of it. They might come back like zombies or vampires, but ignore the temptation to include a 'lust for blood or brains' here. They're able to regain life from the sun itself. Like a plant.

Roleplay titles should be titled CROSSOVER if it's a co write involving someone on the FOREST mission, or NINJA if a solo. Or if a co write between FOREST focused characters.

I'm leaving a lot up to come out during roleplaying. The nature of the machine. The slavers. I'd like us to come up with some good twists and new forces for the slavers. I'd especially like us to make sure they are written as a serious threat to the Kingdom please.

This might be a fitting mission to bring up questions and themes of life and death. See if you can work with those.

Finally, I'd like us to try to get to the ninja village. I'd like to see players step up when parts of the mission seem ambiguous and define the mission through planning and writing. I think we can make the story feel like it's moving forward faster and more consistently if individual players feel empowered to make editorial decisions and put in sweeping plot points where it's appropriate to do so.

Mission notes, oops! This one involved four characters - Todd, Wildfall, Fahari and Sir Fumblies.

This one's a lil tricky since it seems like they're all going for the slavers but plans will have at least one of them getting an interest in the other quest.

Starts off with Todd overhearing a messenger talk about the slavers. Todd nearly gets rough in his quest to figure out what's going on. Once he finds out, he heads out and walks straight into Wildfall! They get challenged to a fight by the locals but sneak off.

Todd again runs head first into someone- this time it's Sir Fumblies, who has Fahari at his side. They're both interested in this mission for their own reasons.

Crossover: Post-Finale (Konall's Grudge)

Featuring live appearances from Sebastian Dash, Cattaras, Jen, Raven, Tarvel and Glyn, the assembled party tries to get a handle on the folks injured by the sudden attack in the Finale, and the impending storms. There's some fast-chatter between those with the Nano-tech relays to organize the party, then we've got a stormwatch/alert to get out. Thus folks hop to it!

Finally, a non crossover roleplay for the NINJA mission!

Wildfall and Fumblies are scouting the village with Fumblies's brutes left at the edges of town. Wildy hears something stirring in the bushes and pounces it- but it's just Todd. The two trade wiseass'isms, and talk to an elderly ninja who instructs them to try to understand their foes beyond their strengths and weaknesses in order to defeat them.

The old man vanishes mysteriously. The roleplay ends with Fumblies hearing a 'childish voice whisper something in his ear.'

Space elves pull no punches
(appearances by Jen, Tarvel, Glyn)

Three elves land in a Ninja Forest, and one experiences flight sickness. Jen, Tarvel and Glyn move out to check on the slavers' activities. The slavers weren't expecting the elves' coming, and the elves definitely don't approve of the slavers' actions - past and present - in this RP. Promise for things to heat up next.

Oh, what a fun one! I won’t get into the conversation with Wildfall and Todd but it was top notch as they try to sneak into the village, wondering if they could learn a little something about stealth from the ninjas. Well Wildfall did. They also ran into two female cute ninjas in catsuits who had an.. odd way of speaking. They agreed to help Wildfall and Todd. They also pretty much seduced Todd and Wildfall flat out. Don’t tell Summer. I got the impression Todd was trying to seduce Wildfall too, but maybe I misread that, hehe! Again... don’t tell Summer.

Basically, Konall and Kadlin are both going on a journey where they learn more about their abilities and their place within society. Konall climbs a mountain while abstaining from alcohol and learns that everything is sacred. Additionally, Hel the goddess of death shows up and says he'll be able to summon gods but at great cost.

Meanwhile, Kadlin enters Fernswarthy's tower and gets a book about the sword and its powers. She also learns to create a new form of shadow brute and gains better necromantic control.

Todd and Wildfall joke around then fight themselves a slaver! When he gets backup with crossbows, Todd decides they should put their weapons down and surrender. But the backup claim these were two of the people that 'killed' them originally. Before they can take our now-helpless heroes out, the two (not rhyming) ninja girls who'd met Todd and Wildfall earlier show up, allowing the furry bard and the sly sarcastic Ireacan to chase 'em off. Then Fumblies shows up. They end up with Fumblies racing off, I guess to fight the slavers. Todd and Wildfall, and probably the ninja babes, follow.
