Raising of the Ahadi Caern is an epic, setting changing plot. By taking part, you have a chance to affect the outcome and future of the setting. Glory may be won, but character death is a distinct possibility. Great reward often comes at great risk.
Keep in mind IC wise this is all hands on deck. Almost every player, and every character they have active, is taking part. As such, this is an epic battle, on a huge scale. The rules for this event are going to be a little bit different than most.
Even if you took part in ACT 1, make sure to familiarize yourself with the rules before we start ACT 2. It will make things smoother, and STers won' t have to waste time repeating themselves.
1. We are posting in rounds. Please, only post ONCE per character and wait for the STer to give the go ahead for player posts.
2. There is a 15 minute window for player posts after the last STer post (with a bit of leeway for reading what may be a large wall of text). Once this 15 minutes is up, the STers will cause for a pause in posts.
3. Actions will use a hybrid of freeform and dice rolls. The STers will ask you to make rolls where appropriate. There simply is not enough time to roll for every character, npc ally, and npc foe, for every ability, skill use, attack, etc. When it matters. When the outcome has the potential to be unfavourable, you will be asked to roll. Those who argue will be asked to sit out.
4. If the STer needs to set a difficulty and has not done so, assume the difficulty is 6.
5. HAVE YOUR CHARACTER SHEETS READY!! And know your character's skills. If you need help or explanations, ask one of the staff during the week.
6. Join the appropriate channels at the start of the event. (Most likely this will be #RS_Plot #RS_Dice and #RS_OOC ) #RS_Plot is for IC actions and speech ONLY. #RS_Dice is for dice rolls and questions/clarification concerning the immediate round of posting. Label your dice rolls [ie: `wod 7 6 (Alertness - Attentive spec) ]. For all other comments or out of character remarks, use #RS_OOC.
IF YOU HAVE EARNED VICTORY TOKENS, YOU MAY SPEND A VICTORY TOKEN IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE A GOAL DURING THE COURSE OF THE STORY, THIS CAN BE AS SIMPLE AS REVERSING A FAILED/BOTCHED ROLL. IT CAN BE USED FOR YOURSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE. IT CAN BE USED TO PULL OFF SOMETHING EXCEPTIONALLY DRAMATIC THAT MAY TURN THE TIDE OF THIS BATTLE, HOWEVER, KEEP IN MIND THE LEVEL OF YOUR TIDE TURNING WILL COME WITH AN EQUIVALENT COST. IT CAN ALSO BE USED TO SWITCH PLACES WITH SOMEONE ELSE'S FATE.
Victory tokens are awarded by [ST Jose] via PM, generally for exceptional actions. They are character specific. Use them wisely.
