EVENT #5: CONFLICT OUTCOMES

[aionmods]

Conflict Outcomes

GODSBLOOD

A document has been submitted to us by the players indicating the general plans of both the Kenoma and the Pleroma with regards to Vaeka's execution. Overall, efforts seem to be balanced: there are roughly the same number of contributors on both sides, both plans seem solid, and there are no unexpected curveballs. Because of this, we will be deciding whether Vaeka lives or dies with a 50/50 dice roll.

PLEASE REMEMBER: this represents a narrative result, not the outcome of a single action or moment. No matter how the players decide to have events unfold past this point, a 1-50 dice roll will mean that Vaeka will have to end up dead one way or the other, while a 51-100 roll will result in her surviving mostly intact and escaping the city. Based on the plans we've been given and requests made down below, we will be creating a generalized prompt for what happens with her. If need be, we can also make rolls to determine which characters are in the "spotlight" for certain key moments if there is contention for that as well (IE if there is a dispute over who gets to make the killing blow or something of that caliber).

Please make any request you have for the circumstances of her ultimate escape or execution down below. The roll determining which sect is the victor will be done at 8 EST, July 13th.

VENERA

Based on what we've observed, Venera is also roughly balanced in terms of contributors. Unfortunately for the Kenoma, there are 2.5 traitors in their midst, which will damage their efforts considerably. Because of this, rolls for whether the Veneran targets live or die will be 40/60, with a 1-40 victory for the Kenoma, and a 41-100 victory for the Pleroma.

We will start out by doing a series of 10 rolls, representing 10 NPCs that are on the hit list. Based on the dice roll, each option will be designated either a Pleroma or Kenoma victory. Once the list of victories has been determined, players will be allowed to claim wins and losses from the list, at which point they can plot with other players and plan the nature of the victory and the specific qualities of the NPC themselves. Even if a victory or loss is 'claimed' by one person, there is no limit to how many characters can be involved with it in a narrative sense.

Veneran rebel NPCs will generally be characters that were either touched by the actions of the Aions or infuriated by the seeming indifference of the Regent's wider forces during the Innocence plague. While there are a few that have been cultivating anti-Regent sentiments for a long time, most of them have only recently begun engaging in seditious behavior, and any sort of 'resistance' force in Venera is new, untested, and fairly inexpert in their practices. The ones on the hit list are almost entirely the new flock of seditionists inspired by the plague, as the long terms resistance types in Venera were experienced enough to not get caught.

Beyond that, these NPCs are essentially just regular people who have decided to take a stand, one way or the other. Many may be panicked or despairing at the fact that their attempts to make a difference are being quashed already. Some of those long terms rebels may be able to help hide them if they aren't otherwise helped, but there are some player lead planning in progress to help the survivors escape the city entirely and get somewhere safe.

NOTE: We are starting out with 10 rolls, but may add more if they fill up quickly. Additionally, if you have a previously made NPC that you want to base a thread around, or that you want an individual mod roll made for, you can either let us know what outcome you'd like for them or ask for RNG here.

GODSBLOOD EXECUTION RESULTS

[aionmods]

At 8 EST tonight we will be rolling to determine whether Vaeka lives or dies as a part of the Sovereign Citizens event. That result will be posted below. From there, the characters in Godsblood can work out the details amongst themselves.

VAEKA LOVENSKOL WILL BE SAVED!

[aionmods]

Vaeka will be SAVED! The Pleroma will be able to snatch her from the Kenoma's clutches before her death by hanging can be completed. The specifics of the various related combats are up to the players involved, but ultimately it is the Pleroma's victory.

If any decisions regarding this outcome need to be RNG'd, please make your requests in the top-level below.

GODSBLOOD EXECUTION REQUESTS

[aionmods]

If you'd like to have your character (or a group of characters) play a specific role in a key moment of the rescue, or would like for the rescue to unfold in a particular way, please make not of it here. We can also use this space to make any additional mod rolls needed if there are people asking for different things.

Rescue: Pleroma Directly Interacting With Vaeka

[chronosynthesis]

As part of the break in and rescue, Syrlya and Johnny will be entering the building through teleportation (Syrlya through breaking a hallway window, Johnny by shooting his fingernail through the wall). While Syrlya is brawling his way down the hallway Johnny will teleport into the room being used to hold Vaeka directly in order to unlock it from the inside. Yuuta will also have Rika assisting with combat from the inside.

Once the room is broken open, Syrlya will shift focus to protect Vaeka while he escorts her towards the exit and to an alleyway nearby, where Ernesto will be waiting. Syrlya will cast an invisibility spell that lasts about 10 seconds to give them a headstart and Ernesto will escort Vaeka to safety while Syrlya stays back to help the other Pleroma handle the Kenoma.

VENERAN REBELLION RESULTS

[aionmods]

We will be making a series of rolls at 8 EST tonight to determine how many NPCs on the Kenoma hit list live or die. Once those dice rolls have been made, players will be permitted to 'claim' victories or losses to build threads around. We may make more rolls if the initial slots fill up too quickly.

NOTE: Please describe the nature of the NPC you'll be saving or killing. This may become a factor in future mod plotting.

VENERAN REBELLION REQUESTS

[aionmods]

If you have a pre-made NPC that you either want a mod roll for or have a pre-determined outcome you've come to an agreement with a member of the opposite sect over, please specify those here. Please let us know the nature of the NPC and what your decision regarding them is. Alternatively, ask for a mod roll to decide their specific fate.

Hello! I have an NPC I would like a mod roll for. She's an older woman who volunteers at a hospital kitchen who Binghe met during the Innocence event and became attached to due to her patting him on the head and thinking he was a sweet boy. Unfortunately some of the other old ladies she hangs out with have been Saying Some Things since the Innocence plague and she has been targeted for seeking out banned pamphlets.

[youngprodigy]

When Cid was infected with the Innocence sickness, an older woman offered him water. Though he's uncertain whether or not she was aware he's an Aion, Cid will be making it a priority to get her to safety, as she risked herself for him.

Given she did this in public, she could easily have been seen by someone.

[locumstudentesquire]

Archer and I have agreed to let Ryunosuke's host family get out unscathed since Ryu is taking an L in the process of protecting them.

It's a family consisting of a wife, her partner, a granny, and two kids.

[coupris]

Kim will be ensuring a nurse who took care of him at a medical clinic in Venera during the Innocence event won't be punished for doing so, especially since he was trying to avoid treatment/association with locals in the first place.

Jill and I have already discussed Kim rescuing her from Silco in a PVP thread. Kim has the element of surprise with his power on his side, but he'll allow Silco to get away in order to get the NPC to safety.

Hello! Looking for a mod roll here. Hiccup stayed with a family when helping with repairs that Howl/Kaeya had messed up their tavern during the Innocence event (did ask them for permission! the family was most fleshed out from Hiccup). They're a family of three: mother, father, and nine-year-old boy. They didn't necessarily know Hiccup was an Aion at first, but after his encounter with Howl likely knew they both were and said nothing/still allowed him to stick around as he helped with what little he could.

[snakeandfangs]

me, knocking on the door a little late... sorry modfriends. been a rough weekend.

a young man that toge saved using his cursed speech during some building restoration efforts (with kaeya as a witness) also happens to be one participating in rebellious activities: mostly through word of mouth while also distributing paraphernalia regarding resisting the regent. he would have known there was something special about toge, given that he had no option but to obey the given command when ordered.

this npc is the friendly, charismatic type that makes fast friends and holds no grudges. he wishes he could do more but knows that he's best as a firestarter and not the fire itself, so to speak.

i'd like for him to survive!

GENERAL MOD ROLL REQUESTS

[aionmods]

If you want a mod roll for any purpose during this event, please ask here!

[hundredpower]

Hi mods! Please can we have a roll for a fight between Marjorita and Barnaby? They'll be fighting over Rebel 8 and Marjorita will ultimately get away with the target as predetermined, but we wanted to roll for how the fight itself goes.
