NPC Actions
Round Three
The Peoples of Myrkran
Pending Requests and Offers
[Intrigue] Beg for Answers in the Depths - The faces of the refugees pale as the first reports of monsters swallowing ships arrive in Altarin. Some wait at the beaches, desperately praying that none of their loved ones were on such ships, lost forever to things of the abyss. Some of the more clearheaded among them, community leaders, pass on a message to those who have taken them in - this is no time to panic. "We need to know the Truth." (Request: Investigate the situation with the Leviathans. Reward: +1 reputation for any successful investigation. Penalty: None. Duration: Rounds 2-4)
[Military] Refuse to be Pushed Around by the Disciples of Silicon - The Refugees have little left to them, and when the machines come tearing up the lands granted to them with little explanation, militias are formed to defend the homesteads. It isn't enough - they have little hope of victory on their own. (Request: As a Military Action, successfully impede the Disciples' incursions into Myrkran Territory in 115; this is a simple rolloff of 2d6+military against TN 14. Reward: 1 Myrkran Favor. Penalty: None. Duration: Round 3)
[Industry] Gathering Rayjo (4/5) - The Rayjo Towers near completion. Already dialogues occur between the major camps and across the lands. A little more, they say, and words will fly across the seas too. (Request: Any kingdom may contribute to this great project as an Industry action - the first action contributed by a realm grants that realm one MYR favor. Duration: Until Completed)
[Diplomacy] A New Settlement Plan in Taer Mojr - The reports of the raid on the Grounded Sky Tower fall on Myrkran ears with great interest. A whole abandoned city, you say? With a little touching-up (and security efforts), it's a promising settlement prospect in Taer Mojr. (Request: Grant Permission to begin settling the Grounded Sky Tower as a non-action; this opportunity is only available to the owner of Region 204. Reward: 1 Myrkran Reputation. Penalty: None. Duration: Round 3-6)
The Disciples of Silicon
Pending Requests and Offers
Identify a Suitable Location for Fortification in Taer Mojr - A metal monster arrives in the realms of Taer Mojr, on three wheels and spindly legs above them, culminating in a single piercing red eye. "Greetings.", it repeats in its tinny voice to those who would listen to it. "The Disciples of Silicon seek a location to establish a local outpost." It roves from hall to hall, responding to only basic queries but proving more of an innocuous curiosity than a danger. "Friends of the Disciples are rewarded well. You would do well to be a friend." (Request: Build one Disciple Forbidden Vault (3-action Diplomacy/Intrigue project) in Taer Mojr. If realms cooperate they decide amongst themselves how to divide the reward. If multiple bases are completed first on a single continent one will be randomly selected to become the recognized DOS base and contributor(s) will receive the full reward. Any unselected bases will still become DOS bases but receive no additional reward. Reward: +1 Rep, +1 Favor. Penalty: None. Duration: Rounds 1-5)
Analyze Combat Data - The Disciples, when they arrive in person, are sealed in metal suits with dark eyes and odd glowing portions. An odd grinding sound accompanies their movements, and they speak of battles to come. For now, though, their desire is simple - they wish to see who might make worthy allies in the future. (Request: Engage in warfare in Altarin or Taer Mojr. Reward: +1 Favor for each battle initiated where a sub-action is spent to invite the Disciples to observe. Penalty: None. Duration: Rounds 1-3)
[Military] Attempt to Force Entry to Region 115 - There's no time. There's no time. There's no time. A strike team is deployed to tear up every nook and cranny until he is found. He cannot be allowed to escape again. There's no time. There's no time. He must be stopped. The westerners are a casualty. There's no time. (Demand: Do not interfere. Reward: None. Penalty: -1 reputation with DOS. Duration: Round 3)
[Intrigue] Analyze and Repair Lance - The machine defeated at the Rose Tournament was a promising model, and analyzing its wounds may provide valuable data in the future. His repairs may prove more troublesome.
[Intrigue] Secret - Preparations are made for a worst case scenario. The situation in Altarin inches closer to doom by the day. But there is another site...
The Seekers of the Spheres
Pending Requests and Offers
[Faith] Prepare for the Lunar Convergence! - With the information gathered by the comparative analysis of Star Charts from many locations, the Seekers believe they've pinpointed the day Yølym and Winding Rose will converge ten years hence! This is auspicious and a time of great excitement, and the observatories are abuzz with activity both academic and celebratory. Fortune is overflowing, and the Seekers are performing many rituals. (Offer: The Seekers of the Spheres will provide the benefit of One Seek Aid action to any kingdom that asks for help. Reward: +1 to any one roll of the claiming kingdom's choice, at the cost of a favor. This must be specified before making the roll. Penalty: N/A. Duration: Round 2-3)
[Intrigue] Investigate the Star Signs appearing on youth! - A mystery too great to ignore, the seekers find few of these marks among their own number but set out to find those who are bathed in it. Why is this occurring? What kind of omen is it?
[Intrigue] Investigate the Language Fragments from the Grounded Sky Tower! - Eilonwy returns from her adventure with Ashzara richer not in wealth but in lore. Lost fragments of language from a lost civilization, perhaps? And what mastery they had of strange technologies! She sets out with some of her less adventurous contemporaries to study and decode what they can.
[Faith] Watch the Dark Moon - Though much focus is on Yølym and Winding Rose due to their upcoming convergence, some attention is given to other omens - the other three moons and the stars. The Dark Moon's movements in particular are a cause for concern among some scholars, indicating a future where perseverance and resilience will be necessary.
