EVENT #07: ASPHODEL CONSTRUCTION PROJECT PLANNING

The Corsairs have been mobilized and preparations are underway. As negotiators are dispatched to Vindess to prepare for the evacuation under Imperial noses, the crafters and suppliers set to work, preparing the new settlement and whatever airships can be spared for the evacuation. Some Corsairs have even taken it upon themselves to build or “liberate” more airships for the effort.

As always, when the goal is certain the Corsairs move as one. Together, they will see Asphodel completed. All hands are needed, the question is, where do you lend yours?

MISSIONS

Prepare Asphodel: Get the new settlement of Asphodel up and running to receive the refugees from Vindess.
Priority: Critical
Challenges: Corsairs will need to keep the settlement hidden while also making suitable housing and preparing farms and other amenities to sustain life. It will require a large amount of excavation to get in order, as well as construction of homes, furniture, and other facilities. The work will be backbreaking and the timetable is extremely aggressive.

Prepare Citizens for Evacuation: As the citizens of Vindess toil under Imperial lockdown, the Corsairs must prepare the entire population for evacuation.
Priority: Critical
Recommended Roles: Negotiators and Infiltrators
Challenges: Corsairs will need to convince the entire population to evacuate. There are a number of methods that can be employed, while many are going to be reluctant the Imperial crackdown has shaken the settlement and unease is high. There is evidence within the Imperial offices that Infiltrators can recover that show mass executions with lists of “dissidents” have been scheduled for April which the Corsairs might make use of if they choose to investigate. Other options include capturing potential dissidents and taking the entire willing population while executing or taking prisoner loyalists, or other methods the Corsairs determine for themselves to make this happen.


Acquire Airships: The Corsairs always need more airships, and moving an entire population will require heavy effort and can use as many ships as can be mustered.
Priority: Optional
Recommended Roles: All
Challenges: The Corsairs don’t have the major Ether Stones that serve as the airship engines and will need to either capture or salvage resources to increase the size of their fleet. While the Corsairs have been investigating airships that don’t require Ether stones, that research is still a distant dream, but some Corsairs may want to spend some time pushing that investigation along to see if they can make it a reality sooner rather than later.

"Like torchstalks back home. They're a kind of mushroom. Most of them just burn if you light them on fire, but they sometimes make puffballs that explode if you hit them too hard, or light them."

Good to know that the rule of 'under the ground is where the weird stuff grows' is a multiversal constant.

[newmemorywhodis]

Link pauses, taking in this description.

"Like exploding puffshrooms." Which, honestly, sound amazing. Link wanted some.

[spacetogrow]

"That sounds like a good name."

[newmemorywhodis]

There's lots of good things about puffshrooms, name included. In fact, Link pulls one of them out of his bag to show Ilphyl.

"They're good for smokescreens," he says. Even if the cloud of spores they make isn't visible right now.

[spacetogrow]

"Do they grow well?" Ilphyl said. "Or for that matter, do you have any mushrooms for eating in there? So we can grow more. Like the lizards."

[newmemorywhodis]

"Donnie grows them," Link has. But if Ilphyl wants mushrooms for eating...maybe he's hungry?

He pulls a mushroom risotto out of his pack, and holds it out for Ilphyl. It is, miraculously, still warm. "...Lunch?"

[spacetogrow]

"Thanks, Link." Both for the food and the information. Because Ilphyl is very fond of mushroom based foods.

[newmemorywhodis]

Link brightens - and then pulls out another mushroom risotto, which he begins to scarf down immediately.

And once Ilphyl takes a bite of their own risotto, they'll find that they feel much more energised. More ready to take on whatever challenges will come their way.

As it turns out, this isn't just any old mushroom risotto - it's one Link's cooked with Endura Shrooms, giving a nice boost to their stamina.

[spacetogrow]

"Did you make this? It's really good!" And, yes, Ilphyl noticed that they are more energized. They are curious if it also works on magic, or their wild shapes.

[newmemorywhodis]

Link nods his head rapidly. Yes! He made it! He's glad Ilphyl likes it!

And when all of the risotto is gone, he hops up on his feet - clearly feeling more energised as well. Time to go explode more walls.

Wrap up?

[spacetogrow]

"Do you want help with that?" Ilphyl asked. If not, they can find something else to do. There was enough to keep everyone busy.

Sure thing!

[newmemorywhodis]

Link nods - and hands Ilphyl a bomb flower.

Who says you can't share explosions?

And htat's a wrap!

[spacetogrow]

Ilphyl took it and moved to follow Link.
