melodiesooc | A New Hope: OOC Plotting Post

Hello, this post is for you to plot and coordinate everything about the current event, as the first event post is now getting a bit old. Refer to this post for previous plotting and event details.

As a reminder, all new characters + all those who were made prisoners back in January are prisoner in the Heran Research Center. A team will be attacking the Research Center, while another will be going in to rescue the Heroes kept prisoner inside. Meanwhile in the Imperial City, many characters are interacting with imperial agents, both to create distraction and further their own plans.

At the same time than the rescue team will attack, power will flicker in the research facility. Power will go on and off at intervals, meaning this would be the ideal moment for imprisoned characters to do whatever they have in mind. The doors won't magically open, so if they have a plan of some sort to get out, they will have to enact it.

This post will be updated as the event progress. Player plans and new enemies encountered relating to what is happening within the Research Facility will be posted here to make tracking things easier.

After discussing it on plurk, a bunch of us though it might be a good idea for the attack team to split up into smaller squads so that everyone has a place to tag and the threads don't get bogged down with too many people.

The idea is to have separate threads for four squads -- two taking out enemy patrols, and while the patrols are busy, two squads taking on the Magitek Knights guarding the doors (with two Knights for each squad). That will let people choose whether they'd rather go for a more stealthy approach or more in-your-face battle. We don't know what will happen afterwards, but let's just get the ball rolling and figure out the rest later.

There is an IC thread discussing teams if you want to jump in on that. Regardless, I'm going to leave replies to this post that people can respond to and decide whether they want to be in

Patrol Squad A
Patrol Squad B
Magitek Knight Squad A
Magitek Knight Squad B

(Obviously if you have other plans, go ahead and do those. This is just so anyone who doesn't have prior plans, which is most of us, has something to do. If there turn out to be more people than what was listed earlier, we can always make a third Patrol Squad.)

fsdgedfsgd thank you for this

As someone who just learned a job-related lightning attack, and an affinity for mecha, I put MarKus here!

I was gonna put up a post with Yuna fighting one of the teams at my lunch break.

I'll place Ravio here for heavy summoning attacks and mass healing.

Jade and Fayt will be fighting these guys!

And for sake of organization, I'll mention here too that Sparks will go with you fellas.

Liz was trying to sneak in in the confusion and actually get an understanding of the lay out of this dungeon (base) to figure out the actual rescue.

Mind you, this will probably devolve into a mess if someone isn't there to keep her focused, so if anyone else wants to try the sneak in and set the people free thing lemme know?

MarKus can take the sneaky people. He has thief class!

And would probably know about things like cameras and survelance, and how to deal with it. Eh?

I want to have Kidd stealthing into the facility as best she can, but she can take out some troops as well on her way. Where do you want her?

I think in the plotting plurk and IC discussions so far we've poked at the possibility of having each group having one stealthy person each or more, because they don't want to give them time to sound alarms if possible. The plan is strike fast, strike hard, and get in, I believe.
