Event #11: WE RULE THE SEAS MISSION LOG
With the Flotsam fleet now occupying the Fallen Isles, they have access to port facilities for the first time since the Fleet’s inception. With many of the nobles convinced to “take a trip to Elysium” leaving their houses unattended for the Corsairs to capture, giving them access to additional resources that allow them to patch up and reinforce the fleet and fill their bellies in a way they haven’t been able to before.
This is fortuitous, since as expected, the occupation of the Fallen Isles has painted a target on them. With the Flotsam fleet now gathered and docked in one place, the Empire quickly musters two Legions with the intent to storm the Fallen Isles and, in their minds, destroy the Corsairs once and for all.
And it is in this moment that the Skysplitters roar, and their thundering barrage begins to tear apart the descending airships as they enter the airspace of the Fallen Isles. And in the din of Imperial panic, the Corsairs strike.
Consequences
The casualties incurred and the personal injuries incurred will depend on the Corsair involvement. The first three missions will all feed into the general casualty rate of the operation, whereas the final two will result in personal injuries if Corsairs take place, as well as increasing casualty rates if unsuccessful.
These consequences will be combined over several logs to determine the final result.
Log Leader
All logs outside Tend the Injured are eligible for a Log Leader. If selected, that leader will receive additional details on the prompt via PM, like NPC weapon details. Log leaders are optional, especially for the first two prompts.
MISSIONS
Flight of the Black Wings: The Corsairs fly up to meet and destroy whatever airships survive the initial Skysplitter assault
Status: Open
Description:The Black Wings are a powerful fleet of reaver airships that are renowned for quick, punishing assaults. The Black Wings have carved enormous losses from the Corsairs over the year. Today, the Corsairs fly to meet them.
The Black Wings will suffer most under the assault of the Skysplitters, suffering heavy losses in their vulnerable descent. They will attempt to blast the fleet apart and sink any Corsair ships that rises to oppose them.
Current Participants: Natalia, Donnie
(Optional) Log Leader: None
Needed Participants: 2 for success, 3 for ideal success
Descent of the Steel Soldiers: The Corsairs will have to repel the more agile armor squadron that has joined the assault.
Status: Open
Description:The Steel Soldiers are often deployed alongside the Black Wings to serve as armored assault units. Trained for aerial combat, they serve as support for the major airship forces and their speed is frequently employed to chase down and sink fleeing Corsairs.
While the Skysplitters will inflict damage on the Legion, their agility will make them much harder to target and hit, meaning the Corsairs will need to sortie to repel them.
Current Participants: Atom, Raphael, Kanna, Renne
(Optional) Log Leader: None
Needed Participants: 2 for success, 3 for positive success, 4 for ideal success.
Tend the Wounded: The Corsairs will need to quickly triage the wounded and get them to safety.
Status: Open
Description: The battle is expected to be bloody, and the Corsairs expect the toll to be high. Keeping an active field clinic will be crucial if they want to minimize casualties and turn aside life-threatening injuries.
Those tending the wounded can expect to be constantly busy fighting off death and permanent injury.
Current Participants: Ilphyl, Matt, Shu, Tau
Log Leader: Not needed
Needed Participants: 2 for success, 3 for positive success, 4 for ideal success. Additional contributors may soften the penalties in other areas. Gods will provide additional benefit.
Clip the Black Wings: The Corsairs will need to board and bring down the capital ship of the Black Wings.
Status: Closed
Description: Ewan Gringoire, illustrious Captain of the Black Wings, is a former slaver who “went legit” and became a Privateer in service of the Empire. In his slaver life he tangled with the Corsairs on more than one occasion and was known to capture them for the Empire’s unquenchable thirst for free labor.
Ewan is a skilled pilot with the fastest ship in the Empire, shooting him down is not especially feasible and boarding is next to impossible. This will be an enormous challenge for the Corsairs to accomplish
Current Participants: Harlock, Natalia, Shu, Renne
Log Leader: Shu
Needed Participants: 3 for success with the target escaping, 4 for success with the target being killed. A participating god can make this into an ideal success, but will receive a curse. Injury is almost guaranteed for taking part in this mission.
Shatter the Steel Soldier: The Corsairs will need to bring down the Bloodstained Comet Singe Madillon.
Status: Closed
Description:Singe Madillon is a peerless ace pilot who has a legendary number of confirmed kills. His custom Feder unit painted in his blood red color is said to be able to move 3 times as fast as a normal Feder, and he is one of the few who can withstand the incredible G-force it generates.
The Corsairs will need to find a way to surround, entrap, and ultimately shoot down his armor before it can cause too much damage.
Current Participants: Raphael, Atom, Donnie, Kanna
Log Leader: Atom
Needed Participants: 3 for success with the target escaping, 4 for success with the target being killed. A participating god can make this into an ideal success, but will receive a curse. Injury is almost guaranteed for taking part in this mission.

In addition to sipping from it, she takes the dregs and uses it to cleanse her fingertips. ...Blood can be sticky. (Also unhygienic.)
"It has been some time. These are poor circumstances under which to chat casually, but I do wish to ask if you have any news of your forest."
no subject
Date: 2025-07-13 05:06 am (UTC)"Nothing direct. But I'm still here, so nothing's threatening my area of the forest as of now," he murmurs, gaze still roving over those within the perimeter they've established for medical needs. "I have to wonder if the damage we do here will prompt them to start pushing for more forest resources though..."
no subject
Date: 2025-07-13 02:47 pm (UTC)Her query is soft.
"...Do you mean you would leave us if there was direct danger or do you mean your own existence will be threatened if something were to happen?" The latter was, of course, significantly more concerning. "I imagine the more limiting factor of airship replacement would be the ether crystals. Mining may be their immediate priority before they strip the wood for the building itself."
Not that she has any idea, really.
"I did not know you could heal."
From his demeanor, she would have expected something a little more physical.
no subject
Date: 2025-07-13 11:06 pm (UTC)"The latter," he admits. "I may have been given more independence than my predecessor, but I'm still linked to my original body."
He drains the rest of his water. "No? It's my usual assignment. Although situations like this usually call for more direct methods than what can be done with herbs and bandages," he sighs. That'll be more exhausting but if he can keep people from bleeding out, it'll be worth it.
no subject
Date: 2025-07-14 10:49 pm (UTC)well now she knows what to do if Tau ever gets too snarky“That is unfortunate. I hope there is some sort of warning before anything untoward begins to happen.”
She couldn’t imagine what that might be, but then, she couldn’t imagine being linked to a stationary tree, either.
“Is this body… a sort of projection, then?”
no subject
Date: 2025-07-15 03:12 am (UTC)"More or less," he replies with a nod, flexing the fingers of his free hand. "But then even before I was gifted more range, I've always been able to manifest a corporeal form, so maybe projection isn't quite the word for it."
no subject
Date: 2025-07-15 01:05 pm (UTC)"One spirit in two bodies."
Shu ought to understand this, given she is one spirit in twelve bodies. But their consciousnesses have diverged so far that she cannot wholly remember being a part of the one anymore, even if her current consciousness is, strictly speaking, a phantasm.
"And do you heal much like I do, then? With the vitality of the earth and the growth that lies dormant in seeds."
no subject
Date: 2025-07-15 06:18 pm (UTC)Tau pauses at that before he offers a shrug. He's not even really sure how it works himself.
"Hm... Maybe not quite so," he says as he turns to drift towards one of the nearby cots to help someone with some bandaging. "The vitality of the earth, certainly. Being around nature itself helps. Mostly, I can get by with a good amount of rest."
no subject
Date: 2025-07-18 01:48 pm (UTC)She understands after a moment.
"Ah, apologies. I mean... the magic or Arts that you use to heal others. Not that I am not concerned for your well-being, but I was referring back to our, ah... current preoccupation. My talents lie in encouraging the natural growth of life - one might call it cellular regeneration. But it is difficult to explain.
"I was wondering to what extent we are similar."
no subject
Date: 2025-07-19 06:46 pm (UTC)Tau snorts, cleaning off his hands before moving onto the next injury to check.
"Regeneration is part of it. Organic bodies are actually pretty impressive when it comes to repairing itself. I just encourage some stimulation of the natural ability, mostly for those deeper injuries."
no subject
Date: 2025-07-20 12:46 pm (UTC)In understandable terms, anyway. A change in cellular programming unpowered by Arts, in some way a restructuring of reality.
"Perhaps I would say that the repair is a requirement of life - the miracle being the matter of life itself. To exist in this world means to suffer injury. To persist means that it must be borne and repaired. And yet you must understand that better than many of us, for you will persist the longest of all."
Trees had a habit of outliving the rest of the biosphere.
"What I am struck by when I perform these duties is how little time it gives back, in the end."
