MISSION #01: SAND AND IRON
With the operation fast approaching, the Crimson Corsairs mobilize to prepare. As is often the case, the Supplier and Infiltration teams take the lead, deploying within Elysium and on the continent of Hesaeth. These preparations will be vital for the success of the operation team, and the Corsairs have devoted significant resources into seeing it through.
The Corsairs have delivered their verdict, and the mining site will be Captured for the benefit of the Crimson Corsairs. We expect this will invite swift reprisal from the Empire, and the Corsairs are expected to prepare assiduously to ensure unnecessary loss of life can be avoided.
The following missions have been registered for completion. For a character to count as having participated, they must have a minimum of 3 comments in the mission thread. Characters may only participate in missions in one of the available regions, but may participate in up to two threads if desired. If more than the minimum number of log participants is available for a given log, it will impact the efficacy of the preparation. As this is the first mission, the numbers have been kept intentionally low, we will assess requirements based on how we see player participation from this event and adjust as necessary.
SUPPLIERS
Gathering Supplies: This will mostly consist of gathering ingredients to make the food and drink to be distributed among the celebrants. It might involve hunting, foraging, farming, or other methods of production or gathering depending on your character’s preference. Failure to properly stock Elysium for the party will make the visiting officers angry and alert, ensuring they can mount a more effective defense of Hesaeth.
Requirements: To participate in this mission, your thread header should read GATHERING SUPPLIES. At least 4 characters will need to participate in this mission among all mission threads to make this a success.
Region: Elysium
Participants: Link, Snufkin, Maomao, Kaine (4/4)
Venue Preparation: This will consist of preparing the venue for the performance and banquet. It involves setting up the area, as well as constructing areas for seating and staging for the performances which will be held in the banquet hall. Failure to properly prepare will make visiting officers bored and restless, ensuring they can mount a more effective defense of Hesaeth.
Requirements: To participate in this mission, your thread header should read VENUE PREPARATION. At least 4 characters will need to participate in this mission among all mission threads to make this a success.
Region: Elysium
Participants: Momo, Musse, Eva, Link (4)
Munitions Development: The assault on Hesaeth will be a sneak attack, but extra firepower is always appreciated. Based on the recent salvage we’ve recovered, we believe we can make either a lethal poison or a sleep gas to be fired at the labor camp barracks. There is considerable argument among the Corsairs over which should be used, the sleeping concoction will potentially allow for the taking of captives. The poison gas will be potentially safer in neutralizing major threats, but there are many among the Corsairs and Imperial citizenry who will find the use of such a weapon abhorrent and this may lower our standing among our allies.
Requirements: To participate in this mission, your thread header should read either MUNITIONS DEVELOPMENT - SLEEPING GAS or MUNITIONS DEVELOPMENT - POISON GAS. At least 2 characters will need to participate in either of these missions to make this a success.
Region: Vault
Gambit: This will make up to two Gambits available - the Sleeping Gas Gambit and the Poison Gas Gambit. Either will be available for a one-time use in a mission log.
Participants (Sleeping Gas): Rezo (1/2)
Participants (Poison Gas): (0/2)
Illicit Substance Development: With the visiting officials, now is an excellent time for Elysium to put some of its finest hedonistic delights on display. To that end, they are developing more powerful alcohol and drugs to ensure the empire cannot mount an effective defense when the time comes. The enhanced alcohol should make the officers more likely to be asleep or impaired, whereas the drugs should ensure the officers are hallucinating and unable to give effective orders. Both should be able to completely incapacitate the officers and keep them from providing any aid to the labor camp.
Requirements: To participate in this mission, your thread header should read either DRUG DEVELOPMENT or ALCOHOL DEVELOPMENT. At least 2 characters will need to participate in either of these missions to make this a success.
Region: Vault or Elysium
Faction: Elysium only
Gambit: This will make up to two Gambits available - the Potent Drugs Gambit and the Potent Alcohol Gambit. Either will be available for a one-time use in a mission log.
Participants (Drug Development): Maomao, Musse (2/2)
Participants (Alcohol Development): (0/2)
INFILTRATORS
Observation and Mapping: Infiltrators will need to get a full layout of the labor camp, including troop movements, locations of armaments, and as many details as possible. This information will be critical in ensuring the team can quickly neutralize the threats on the ground. Failure to properly scout the area will lead to the team encountering unexpected and potentially dangerous threats on the ground.
Requirements: To participate in this mission, your thread header should read either OBSERVATION AND MAPPING. At least 4 characters will need to participate in either of these missions to make this a success.
Region: Hesaeth
Participants: T-800, Id, Itsuzumi, Aerich (4/4)
Prisoner Uprising: Infiltrators will need to steal into the labor camp and prepare the inhabitants for their impending rescue. This includes informing them and arming them so they can assist, if willing.
Requirements: To participate in this mission, your thread header should read OBSERVATION AND MAPPING. At least 4 characters will need to participate in either of these missions to make this a success.
Region: Hesaeth
Gambit: This will make the Prison Revolt Gambit available. It will be available for a one-time use in a mission log, but can only be used on this mission.
Participants: Madeline, Noctis, Harlock (3/4)
Steal Dispatches: Knowledge is power, and the Corsairs can make tremendous use of the maps, dispatches, and orders that flow through prison camps like this. Infiltrators will need to enter officer quarters and sift through refuse to find these missives and bring them back to the Vault for analysis.
Requirements: To participate in this mission, your thread header should read either STEAL DISPATCHES. At least 2 characters will need to participate in either of these missions to make this a success.
Region: Hesaeth
Faction: Vault only
Gambit: This will make the Hamper Reinforcements Gambit available. It will be available for a one-time use in a mission log.
Participants: Donatello, Angelika (2/2)
Players are generally free to play out the mission however they wish in terms of their log. A mission’s success will be judged across all participants in all logs. Players who want to make final group planning may use the top level in this post. Any Gambits will be made immediately available once the log participation requirement is met. The Execution phase will be posted on July 10th, but the cut-off to complete a mission log successfully for the planning phase will be July 15th.

I forgot to mention she shares a body with an asshole lol.
Date: 2024-07-04 07:34 am (UTC)She makes a face at the blood splattered on her shoe and drags it on the grass.
What're ya doin' Sunshine! Don't wipe it off! It adds to the ambiance!
A male voice that sounds quite a bit unhinged echoes throughout the clearing, seemingly coming out of nowhere. Kainé rolls her eyes in reply.
"Fuck off, Tyrann. I'd rather not smell like dead animal." Kainé mutters, turning back in the direction of her blonde companion and dismissing her swords.
"How much can you carry?" She calls to Link, tilting her head a little.
Now I know!
Date: 2024-07-04 10:14 am (UTC)Right now though, he's not really thinking about their wardrobes. He's too busy with the fact that all the noise she's making has startled all the other deer. Quickly, Link angles his bow and shoots one of the fleeing deer in the thigh. But it's not enough to bring it down, and it bounds away.
Link stares at it, watching it flee. Then turns away, and makes his way over to Kainé. His eyes glances around the clearing - clearly looking for the source of that strange voice.
"...Only one deer," he answers. If only he had his korok-enchanted pack, he could carry so much more...

That takes time, so maybe we should wait until the group doing observation and mapping are done? That way, you can have better information on how to enter from them."

Date: 2024-07-04 05:10 pm (UTC)"Do we even have time to do all that? I'm not exactly sure what the schedule is here," he admits. "I don't think we can wait that long if we're supposed to be getting all the info together for the main phase. We might have to go along with the others doing observation and mapping if it'll take time. Maybe even do our own basic mapping if we don't at least get main entrances and best exits down."

Date: 2024-07-04 07:49 pm (UTC)She hadn’t even made it to step two yet and here she was face to face with a cow. Falin’s brother (what a coincidence that they should have met!) had said this was easy, and Marcille truly did want to pull her own weight but…she was a mage, dammit! Not a farm hand!
She was hanging back, hesitant to approach, but also not quite ready to give up.]
Cows sure are, um…bigger than I imagined.

Date: 2024-07-04 11:20 pm (UTC)Also how about locations? I'd love to have Eva involved in both Alcohol Development and Venue Prep but one can be in Vault or Elysium and the other is in Elysium. Should we restrict ourselves to one location?

Date: 2024-07-05 12:14 am (UTC)"We'll coordinate with the others. See about their schedules, the timing for the attack, the window of opportunity..." She ticks each off on her fingers. "I think we have at least a couple of weeks before the attack goes in-but we should leave some time for people to actually look at the patrols and dispatches and plan accordingly." She sighed. "I guess the only thing I have to do right now is figure out how good a boy I can make."

Date: 2024-07-05 12:30 am (UTC)"Since you've got experience with this religious stuff and what all the Imperials won't overlook, I'll leave that and the details of prepping for it to you." He isn't sure how much help he'd be in that department.

Date: 2024-07-05 01:09 am (UTC)A lot of that size comes from their stomach. Cows specialize in digesting cellulose-heavy grasses that most animals can't. Their stomachs have four different chambers, so what they do is swallow their food without chewing it and store it in one chamber, then they regurgitate it to chew it properly. Then they swallow it again for further digestion.
[He gives the cow a satisfied look, as it starts in on the fodder provided for it.]
These cows are really well fed. You can tell they'll make high quality milk.

Date: 2024-07-05 04:29 am (UTC)Alcohol Development can be done in Vault or Elysium, so if you're taking part in one mission in Elysium you'll want your other log to take place in Elysium as well.

Date: 2024-07-05 09:01 pm (UTC)Eva is rolling with the flow over here. She's been trying to piece together some sort of table decoration or other.
