syvil got captured

syvil got captured. any plans on a rescue ???

i personally don't know the specifics of what he did or what they will or might do to him but i do know that those men wore going to feed us to a demon id it was not for princess vedena. so who who knows what they will do to him. location: the back room of the tipsy mermaid  A call goes out to the blue sashes asking for help and advise as this was not something he knew great deal about. 

Assuming this takes place in the tipsy mermaid and Von asking this to the people, eventually Marokin would show up after he had visited Erolith in the Vault. He got captured?  you here your fellow tiefling say whispering. What do you mean with he got captured? I read a report but I do not want to believe it? Where is he held at? On what grounds? Marokin would look at the surrounding and then at Adolfo: Do you know anything about it? I have been absent from Haven recently and so I cannot say how the situation is but this does not bode well. He always struck me as such a nice fellow. Next you see Marokin at the Temple of Sol asking for Cain: Have you heard? Our wooden friend apparently got himself captured, I do not know the circumstances but this does not seem to be right to me, what could have have done to justify it? says Marokin to Cain in an innocent voice, well aware of what the charges could be. Do you have any information on his whereabouts or his condition? It doesn't seem right to me for him to be in such a predicament, he protected my life in multiple situations, there has to be something we can do... What do you think?

The vault? And erolith aka mindartis would be in the mermaid with everyone yes I know he was captured I was there that report is through the eyes of a know nothing child grasping at power and title but she holds sway so might yourselfs the empire and it's hands are active in haven and they are watching everyone involed with the blue sashs the people who were with seen with syvil on the day of the crime and everyone who was there of his capture freeing will be no easy task 

i do not my self know what he has done and it seems that the imperials have captured him. this was at the same time the the princess arrived. i do not much else to tell you the truth and would like some information. 

Von looks to adolfo. what should we do what can we do?

When Marokin sees Von bluntly speaking of this he gestures him to be quiet and points everyone to the back room of the mermaid. This is much more a place to discuss this than the frontroom... We may already have stirred up too much noise.

Beldak follows into the back room looking troubled. Wise to keep this quiet, it was rather unsettling having the wrong people get to know my face. So what we do know is the location of where we got captured. That they have holding cells and it's likely that he could still be held there. From what we know it has one entrance, down a thin corridor and is under heavy guard. I'll do whatever's needed of me to help but this is not going to be easy. Any ideas? I haven't heard rumors around town yet that could tell us much more. 

(it was already supposed to be in the backroom) do we even know were it located they put something in are food and we passed out. the only one who know were it would be would be prencess vedena. we may need her for this one.

The only chance we really have so we don't expose ourselves is to find out when they are transporting him and break him out but their are two problems with that in its self one they will now it's the easiest way to break him out so they will most likely spread a fake rumour or give wrong information when it's happening if it hasn't already and two the real transport will mostly be lightly guarded but heavily watched by the red hand but this is the best way for us so we don't expose ourselves and if we do this we would need to hide our identitys or everyone involved will be hunted 

do we know anyone who knows teleport? he looks around the room.

we could have them just teleport in grab him and the get out. if not depending on whether or not they take him through the mountains we  could try setting up some kind of blockade that looks like there was a landslide . yah know a bunch of boulders and tress and such. and maby set up some traps above the road and dump a bunch of logs and boulders down on to the guards around them. we would also need to take out any guards in the woods as quickly and quietly as possible this will take a large number of people or  a few verey strong, stealthy and fast. any thoughts. -he looks around the room- 

Oh, this sounds excellent Von. Maybe we should just collapse the entire mountain around syvil and then dig him out? I guess trying to find him when they transfer him might be one approach, but as Erolith said: This will put everyone involved on the line and if there is only one witness left they will find out and everyone that was recognizable will be persecuted.  I am not sure, I fear there is need for a different approach in case they do not transfer him. They might not, all they will need from him they could probably torture out of him...  

ok well just do logs rolling down the side of the mountain and mow a lot of people down. we will all were matching masks and hooded robes with no markings on them of any kind aside maby a number to tell each other apart. that way even if were spotted no one will know who we are. i beleve blocking of the path is still a good idea. but yes we may need to think of a way to aslut the compound and kill any imperial inside. i relley dident get a good idea of the layout it seems there wore to mane halways - he takes out a pen and paper and begins drawing what he remembers.- i know its not verey good but its about what i can remember about the place they held us i think i saw doors down the north hallway but to be honest i don't entirely remember. ( im not sure about the time scale but i believe the mission to the mysterious island happend like 50 days after syvil got captured and we spent like a week on the mission. im not sure were we are in the timeline this may be in the past to that. any idea??? von would have brought this up a lot quicker then like a month and a half later )   ( the red X's are meant to mean unknow content)

We'll two things are wrong one they are most likely counting on us trying to rescue syvil and probably are counting on it and two even if we wear masks they can still find everyone who was there at the rescue with divination magic and follow our trail either way who ever goes will be hunted and they most likely moved syvil right after they captured him so they would most likely try and set a trap to catch the rest 

thats the thing though if they whanted us they could have just kept us they had us all locked down and wore about to feed us to a demon if it wasent for the what adolfo had vedena do wed all be dead 

Still a plan is needed then, we can't plan on an intercept until we know more. Even though it may be feasible. My face is now known after our capture and it's not impossible to become a marked man. That I could do without. However Syvil has saved my life saved before and if I am still able to help then I'm with it. Though I fear we can't proceed until we can find facts of his location and any possible move. So that's the key to being able to move forward.  ooc timelines with placing characters out of the main thread of events maybe need to be looked at? Whether that being a choice of placing your main character in another location and understanding you're then not around for events occurring shortly after a big event? or whether separate forays shall be worked into the timeline as the main campaign unfolds, as we never know what's going to happen and co gm-sessions are valuable.

do you think we could just get the prencess to pardin him? -he looks at you-

Marokin seemingly annoyed gets up.  This is a waste of time, they probably are torturing him right now while we do nothing. He marches off but before he gives a glance to Erolith. Then he closes the door. Whistling he leaves the tavern. He heads to the west and soon finds himself on the way to an underground place. Before reaching it a young man walks up to him.  Please, follow me.

von goes looking for kaar to do some traning 

What kind?

strength i guess just general sparing and stuff like that i gess.

To clarify; because the timeline has moved on, any rescue mission is taking place 2 months after the capture (and remember Maladonian months are 45 days long.........................). No word on Syvil's fate has been heard but Cain's link suggests that he is not dead; though such things can be fooled. In addition, anyone attempting to rescue Syvil is placing themselves outside Imperial law and would have to hide in the Vale or elsewhere. Killing all witnesses is not enough because, as Erolith rightly remembers, divination can bypass mundane disguises, and indeed anything else. What actually happened is that Erolith used disguise self to turn into a woman (Lydia) and distracted Imperial guardsman taking a Valeman somewhere. Dorn (now dead) released the Valeman and he escaped. The Empire then used divination to find out that Lydia was somehow linked to someone called Mindartis. Divinations are often not explicit and can be very cryptic, but they still could place anyone trying to rescue Syvil in grave danger. Of course, there are deities or avatars that can block or misdirect divinations, but it would take a quest to find and satisfy such a deity.

i think noone would have waited with that rescue mission for 2 months... so at least Marokin would do this soon after he heard of the capture, there is a plan but I need to know if you want to do this as RP or as a mission... invovled will most likely be Marokin and perhaps Mindarthis... 

if we need a god then isildra or the veiled one might help me 

Yes; you we can dial back the chronology, as long as the risky part of things does not involve characters who played in any subsequent session that occurs in the timeline. That means that if this mission takes 2 sessions to resolve, none of those characters can be used later in the timeline until things are resolved. This is so that if a character dies, we don't have the problem of explaining how they went on an adventure 2 months later............... And avatars won't cut it for protecting from divinations; they only work if the person asking is also using an avatar............if they are using a God your 'block' will fail.

@ ilikestuff are you level 4 then because you can only do it at that level  

If there is seriously a rescue thing happening then I'm still around, and would be available for such a session. I'm most easily reached over Skype now a days. It is touching to think that the characters feel bad about what happened, and haven't written Syvil of as dead; which I have XD

post your skype Yeah it is a bit complicated bc only characters that have not been in a session can go there... the prep is going on and I am waiting for some information by stephen while at the same time trying to prevent sharleen from committing suicide by just barging in... Turns out Mindartis is out of the picture so the ingenious plan actually will be much harder to pull of... and Marokin might find his doom, but better than owing the snobbish elf his life ;p

ellesarathmoonsnow is my Skype handle. And, you really don't have to risk it if you don't absolutely want to; I'm fine with Syvil being gone. Took some time to get over it but I'm looking to join back in soon with some other character. So don't feel obligated or anything ^^

It'll be good to have you back mate!

Simon,  Marokin hates owing people stuff, he owes you (and Calinaar) his life... so he feels the need to repay the debt or at least do enough so he thinks he has tried. ;p So for that it does not matter whether you will be back or not. Looking forward to see the loose cannon Character though :)  

If you are actually going to stick around, even if the rescue fails and Syvil does not make it, then you can count on Boone to join the mission, i've been very lairy of risking the character if it wasn't certain you were going to be playing.

you better find an excellent reason for marokin to take you with him... he does not hold boone in the highest regards  as you know

And who put Marokin in charge?

he kind of just took over also hes one of a verey few people who can still go on that mishion 

Unless PK wants to play a pass though, he cant prevent characters from joining.

@zil so far this is mainly an rp thing that is going to happen, not an actual mission. Still gathering information but from what I see I don't think the more the merrier works here at least from Marokins perspective. It is very likely that this will indeed not be an actual session. But that will really depend on stephen. If he says it is an actual session than the session rules apply obviously. Feel free to do your own rescue attempt otherwise, there are though not many characters that can do it at the time marokin plans to do it: a few days after syvil got captured. The ones that can are I think mainly your chars (I mean I don't know which of the characters that haven't been played since actually knew syvil well enough to risk their asses... The usual are out because they played in a session that happens timeline wise later on: Sharleen, Mindarthis, Cain, Von, Beldak, Kaar, Ffiona, Jon Heron...  Dont actually recall anyone besides Zil's chars that hasen't been in a mission afterwards.

I am indeed still around, just gathering my wits about me. I'll be in a session next week, or the week after that ^^.

Plus it marokin and I who has been doing the planning for the rescue no one else and we have been doing things behind the scenes now for a week in real life so you can't just say you want in when your character had no clue syvil was captured and even if you did never replyed to this thread so like marokin you can't just jump in the rp rescue unless you rp a reason he would include you and even if this dose become a game it font have to be a public one and marking could pick who he takes 

pointless debate, stephen will rule...

P K. said: pointless debate, stephen will rule... It's not pointless and Stephen has enough to do without having to settle every little thing with out the people involved trying to sort it out themselves it promotes laziness and Stephen has enough to do already tbh

yeah he does, but in this case we can debate as long as we want whether he plans to have this be a session or not... if it stays RP the question is of the table, if he wants it to be a session we can start discussing...

Guess who lives in the Talidd's hall at the moment? Boone. Also I havent replied to this thread because A.) It's set in the Tipsy Mermaid while Boone's been in Dun Mora. B) I didn't know if Simon was coming back or not and C) I've been preparing and then running sessions for the past three weeks too.

and here is where the timeline clusterfuck begins... When did who do what? When did Mindartis meet the Tallid? Did he go  there directly after the mission or did he first go to haven? a.s.o. a.s.o.... For me: for now it is completely pointless to discuss it. I presented my plan, I'll wait for what the demon dim will say and afterwards I'll decide what marokin will do... PS: I respect both your choices @zil and josh, you both did not want to risk you character for a PC of someone that might not play anymore.  I didn't care about this, so I started doing that. If anyone would have told Marokin that Tallia is there he most likely would also try to get her out. Though he feels less indebted to her (he already freed her once...)

Well you may live in the talidds hall but you were not there in that rp nor were you there to hear what was said as that rp session happened right after the game ended and you were not in the session and I made a point in saying you can check the recording I said I went back to haven as we would have to because the session ended and when I git back me and Fiona had a heart to heart then a few days later i made my way to the vale which takes a few  days so the planning would of taken place after the heart to heart
