Izzy Plots

Things To Come:
Formal Introduction of Ricard (npc ‘left hand’ and bodyguard)
Flesh out rps for Ricard and Sunemi
Outreach to any and all masters/folks who want to rp. (General, I know, but it’s a start)
Get around to making a new slave. (Most likely Male, will have to see.)

I’d be very appreciative of any input or suggestions anyone has to offer as well. I know Kadai wanted to do something, so we could still put that together, if he felt so inclined.

Hmmm.

I'm wondering if we could do, like an adventure later on concerning the two of you (you and Kadai) with Dev. I have a few ideas now, in my head, but idk. I'll post a little more when I have a bit more formulated.

We had an idea ages ago about exploring some ancient ruin, Indiana Jones-like. Maybe you can use that idea for an adventure?

Dev: That would be great. We can do a three way or I can have you all to myself; it's all good to me.

Dinah: That was a looong time ago, but certainly doable. With whom would you want to do that with? Cassy or?

Izzy, I should have started my previous post with an "@Dev:". That was more a suggestion for an adventure for you guys to have than something I would take part in with whatever character.

That's pretty much what I was thinking. I have a lot of location images that I'd planned to use with Latoria, but it would be nice to simply have her cameo in a thread.

Either that, or we could explore some faraway land or be taken to another dimension - whatever suits your fancy. I'll try to upload some images as previews to some of the locations I was thinking of - we could totes collab on a society and what sort of people live there, what kind of traditions they have, etc., and if there are any ruins to be explored, the better~

I'm posting again (sorry for the double post) so that everyone knows that this is here:

Dev's gotten into his fair share of scuffles during his time spent exploring, and though he's not good with magic he is reasonably skilled with some melee and ranged combat weapons (Elven background/training FTW!).

I would like to propose the following intro to this plot:

Whilst out in town (cursory shopping for spices for cooking, actually), Deveraux is targeted as a part of an attack. Dev is generally successful at ducking and dodging (alleyways, cars in the street, crowds, large buildings, etc.). He comes across Izzy in one of the parts of town that he's running through (it could be the Apothecary again, if Izzy's working on magic or anything involving sophisticated ingredients, or collecting a rare specimen for himself or some other party), and Dev hurriedly explains that he's in danger and asking for help. Kadai, who also happens to be within range, is one of the people attacked simply for the reason of being removed from the path of the assailant.

I assume that Kadai would never stand for this and attack back. When the assailant is overwhelmed (not expecting to have angered a Dragon), he/she disappears in a cloud of smoke.

Dev is left to explain things - he finds out that Izzy and Kadai know each other (or, at least, I think they do? If not they could simply introduce themselves). The assailant leaves a clue behind, some sort of symbol that denotes the origin of the attack, and Dev lets them know that they're likely to be in danger of another attack unless he gets this sorted out.

He then asks them to accompany him to rectify the issue (although he only really has a hunch as to what it could be) and that doing so would involve travel. Since this is at his inconvenience, he says that the trip will be at his own expense and for the two of them to think of it as a vacation of sorts. Dev adds that, although the two of them may be able to fend for themselves, he would prefer to avoid possible outlying property damage, etc. from either of them having to fight for themselves in his absence, capable or not.


Then they get to go places, yay!

[I left the reasoning for the trip vague because, honestly, we can make it as serious or as playful as we'd like. Reasons for the attack on Dev could easily be a debt unpaid or simply a person upset at Dev for not visiting in few decades. It could also be anything in between. I would personally prefer the 'fun' approach, as it will pressure us the least in terms of writing, but it's up to the both of you in all honesty.]

There's a sort of irony in saying 'sounds great, sign me up,' given what is tentatively in the works here. That said, I'm happy to be part of it. It syncs well with Izzy anyway, because he would not be one to necessarily rush into anything without understanding as much of it as he can. Not sure if Kadai and him ever met, but thats not really much of a problem: journey, not necessarily the destination and all.

Alright.

I suppose that the only question left to ask, really, is whether or not you'd like a serious undertone to this adventure or not.

It rather makes a difference, as attempts to attack the group as they travel will be significantly increased if we go to the serious undertones, as well as the power of the group we're facing. It will also affect how aggressive the other party is in keeping our personal NPCs from tracking or otherwise reaching our characters.

Some of Dev's closer friends could have means to contact and follow for support, and I imagine that Suneimi/some of Kadai's slaves/associates would come looking for you all as well if you were not heard of for some expanse of time.

If we go for the serious tones, however, I'd have to rule their reaching our characters out as a possibility. Again, I'd prefer something a little lighter, where the pursuing party isn't as experienced/used to combat or tracking, but it's up to you guys.

I'm more inclined to keep it light; much of Izzy seems to be heavy and dark. I know he is supposed to be a Drow and they are all imperious and wizards area always involved in the heavy stuff, but I've been playing too much Yakuza 3 and 4 recently and there's just something disarming about all the pop culture references everywhere that breaks up the 'serious gangster' element. I'm happy to have that break up of the serious element.

Beyond that, I think it would be more of a challenge for myself and Kadai to not turn it into a firestorm, and I don't mind a challenge myself. Pretty sure he doesn't either...

Alright. I'll try for something in between, then. It wouldn't be that hard to simply say that they want Dev alive if possible, or for their motivation to be something surprisingly insignificant in the large scheme of things (kind of like a stereotypical gag plot).

I'd prefer it that way as well, honestly, so that they can actually enjoy their time together/the time that they're going to be spending in other locations with different people.

I encourage you, also, if you have any ideas/left over plans for a village or kingdom that you haven't been able to use so far, bring it. I'd like to think that they're going to travel into some areas of the world that were affected by the Great Divide - as in, landmasses with creatures that were not previously there, regions where the landscapes haven't been colonized or harvested for resources (or where the populating species was able to fight hard enough to discourage it in general), stuff like that. That way we're kind of open enough to be able to use our imaginations without hindrances.

I personally have a small plot for a Kingdom in the sky/airship community that I think we'll enjoy.

:)

Since this starts with me, I'm going to try to get into contact with Kadai if possible to ask him if he can be around more often. So long as I can contact you guys to let you both know when I've posted (so we can try to move forward as efficiently as possible), I think it'll work out well.

Oh wow, I'm going to have to dust off some files then. But that is a part of the enjoyment and I'm grateful for the chance to do it.

You could maybe have a place in South or Middle America, where the indigenous people swiftly took to magic after "The Change" and used it to push out big landowners and corporations, going back to the lifestyle of their ancestors afterwards.

Maybe they even ride dinosaurs. ;)

Oh... and a jungle princess in a leopard-skin bikini would, of course, be mandatory. :D

So for middle america that would be mock wars for slaves and human sacrifice? I thought we were keeping things light? :P Izzy might like that though.

Nothing quite like carving a still-beating heart out of a chest to be fluffy.

Oddly enough, Dev has traveled in South America, so I was thinking about that before hand (almost verbatim XD) but didn't want to derail this in a more Dev direction than the adventure already is.

I'm glad someone else said something about it. XD
