The catch-all page for plot inquiries, NPC threads, investigations, player plots, plot suggestions, and everything else under that banner. Frequency of replies to NPC thread requests will be subject to mod availability, but we will do our best.

INVESTIGATIONS

This is where you come to seek out conversations with NPCs, have your character investigate the setting, or otherwise declare that your character is doing something we should know about. We are open to doing unsolicited NPC call-out threads but reserve the right to cut them short/handwave if they don't seem to be going anywhere or to limit their scope if we are overburdened. NPCs are not always guaranteed to be up for prolonged conversation, but you can try. To attempt to contact an NPC please put their name in the subject line. For conversations of general plot importance, we may ask you to make an closed log.

For investigations, you can freely use this page to have your character seek out information about the characters, setting, or plot. We do ask that you keep investigations to 1-3 inquiries at most, and to have those inquiries be somewhat related. If you want to investigate things that are completely unrelated, please put them in a separate comment. Additionally, please be specific about the approach your character is taking to find out information; their method will greatly impact how well it goes for them.

PLAYER PLOTS

Aion Teleos is designed to be open to player plots, and would be glad to accomodate them! Let us know in a comment below that you/your character is doing and how you'd like to approach it as a player run event. Please put the words "Player Plot" in the subject line.

PLOT SUGGESTIONS

If you don't specifically want to run a plot yourself but have some vague ideas of an event type you think would scratch an itch for the game, please let us know. We don't guarantee we'll use these ideas, but we will keep them in mind when designing future events.

I've spoken and plotted with Yuul, Dokja's player, and she's said that if he's given access to Venera, Dokja may come a few couple times just to look around and chill for a bit before going back without starting anything. I don't mind IC consequences for Ciel over it (reputation wise and whatnot) but we would both like to avoid IC consequences for Dokja, especially with everything coming up with the event and how Yuul has already plotted to have him be dissipated by a Kenoma. Is that something we can work around? The portal's location can change, the original idea around an outpost is to give a measure of surveillance.

[aionmods]

If you want to ensure there are no consequences for Dokja, it would have to be set up somewhere else in or around Venera.

[expiera]

Thank you for clarifying! It'll be somewhere else in Venera then. Do I need to provide a specific location or would it be enough to go with anywhere more hidden and isolated, as it'll collapse around event time regardless of where?

[aionmods]

Give us an idea of where she'd be trying to set it up, whether it be in the city or in the farmland surrounding it. The more specific you can get the better, and we'll fill in the rest. There's an element of randomness to whether a particular portal location is noticed.

[expiera]

It'll be in the farmlands, up in the branches of a full and lush tree clumped with a bunch of other trees (i.e. small patch of forest), is that's possible? A fall won't kill him and he can use the exercise of getting down and walking to town.

[aionmods]

Portals have to be on the ground, so it can't be up in the branches, but hiding it in a patch of trees works fine! Remember that portals need to be in locations where you can bury something in the earth and set up a ring. So, for it to be able to be in Dokja's room, it would have to be on the ground level, and she would need to be able to bury the portion of her flesh/hair/blood in the center of the ring.

[expiera]

Perfect, in a bush somewhere with a patch of trees so he'd look like he fell out of a one regardless when he gets out! Duly noted for future reference, would that have anything happen to it during the two-ish week span it's there?

[aionmods]

Nothing would happen in that period of time! At least, nothing that either noticed, but if the portal goes down afterward, it won't really matter.
