Primary Objectives

Obsidian Palace Barrier: 87%

Fortress of Destruction Disabled

Fortress of Sin Secure, no sin demon.

Fortress of Ambition Secure

Fortress of Dominance Secure, no sin demon.

Fortress of Temptation Secure, no sin demon.

Fortress of Apathy Secure, no sin demon.

Fortress of War Secure, no archdemon.


Doncoutle's Operations


Artifact Search 0%

Skylands Tactical Operations 20%

Oldworld Tactical Operations 20%

Intelligence 4%


Key Objects



Master Gatestone: A keystone which will enable Lismore to move it's armies rapidly into Doncoutle's realm through the primary portal.

Everlasting Keystone: A keystone which will prevent Doncoutle from closing any portals that Lismore attaches it to.

Altered Foxramau: A powerful, physically and spiritually altered foxramau. Does not have any memory asides from basic education, so is in effect an unprogrammed superweapon, capable of deadly feats of magical and physical power.

Action Log



Lismore destroyed or captured all spies operating in Lismore, therefore crushing his intelligence operations almost completely. (Effect: Intelligence - 80%)

Lismore released Collie, allowing him to exact his revenge against Doncoutle. (Effect: Old World Operations and Artifact Search -2% per action by other players.)

Ceci infiltrated an enemy camp, gathering minor information on organization and securing the master gatestone. (Effect: Gained master keystone)

Zeela infiltrated an enemy facility, permenantly disabling an enemy siege weapon with her antimagic. (Effect: Siege weapon destroyed, -3% old world operations.)

Aisling, Dru and Relina captured a hidden outpost hidden in Crimson Empire territory. (Effect: Skyland Operations - 5%, intelligence -5%)

Abbadon lead Astrid, Sansha and Tari to an enemy laboratory in the oldworld and seized as many materials related to the artifact as possible that the enemy possessed at that location. The remainder of the lab was destroyed before leaving. (Potential Results: Artifact Search -10% Abbadon believes they may now have sufficient information to find the artifact.)

Xela and Jules looted resource cache in the skylands. (Results: Skyland Operations -3%, Artifact Search -3%)

Athian, Jo'al and Kyle attacked an enemy outpost containing an object that will prevent Doncoutle from sealing shut any portals that Lismore decides to use against him. (Results: Skyland Operations -3%, Artifact Search -3%, gained Everlasting Keystone.)

High Queen Char, general of Doncoutle's forces, has been captured and imprisoned. (Results: Artifact Search and all operations -10%. Enemy forces have severely lost coordination.

Sloth was captured/rescued, and will now be an asset for Lismore's use in addition to the fact that she will not assist her archdemon when they are confronted. Sloth is the third of seven sin demons to be rescued.

Radem intercepted and managed to save a courier of Doncoutle. The information the Courier was carrying may allow Lismore the opportunity to intercept the Sin Demon, Greed. (Results: Intelligence -2%)

Kira and Alvin are going to infiltrate an intelligence facility in the old world. (Results: Intelligence -3%, decryption material retrieved.)

Amon, Farago, Miriamella and Cadence attacked a cursed weapons cache, and after defeating its garrison, encountered a splinter group from the desert faction, seemingly lead by its former general, Bomber, which had attacked the facility from the other side. The splinter group seemed to have been expecting Lismore's fighters, and accepted a trade for the cursed weapons, which the splinter group intends to use in it's own war against Doncoutle. Lismore is now in possession of a living superweapon, a foxramau who is currently in some type of stasis, and has been imbued with a full measure of demonic blood, and incredible magical and physical power. The foxramau is said to have been given great power, but was not trained or programmed, making him a blank slate for Lismore's use.  (Results: Skyland Operations -3%, Oldworld Operations -3%, Artifact Search -3%. Gained "Altered Foxramau".)

Ausar, Navaru, Xela and Anzhelina attacked the Fortress of Destruction, briefly fighting and convincing the archdemon Indictus to defect. (Results: Obsidian Palace Barrier - 12.5%, Fortress of Destruction Disabled, all operations -5%)

Ausar, Aurora, Zathiel, Bellatrix and Rune intercepted the sin demon, Greed, while he was being moved from one location to another. Greed was captured, and one of Doncoutle's soldiers, apparently having no manner of binding whatsoever, defected mid-combat. Greed and Sloth will likely have information to share as soon as they're unbinded. (Results: Intelligence -3%, All operations -5%, Greed was captured!)

Current Missions



These missions are advertised publicly to Lismore by Anzhelina! If you believe your character would suit one of these missions, please post here or IM Ani Aunerfal inworld to arrange an event to do them! This list will be updated with more missions!

*edits*

A group of TWO stealth-oriented characters is requested to infiltrate an intelligence building located in the old world. (No characters have applied)
I could join this with Kira and have her get her return here in some way. .3. Wouldn't mind if we could somehow spin the fact in she was icly gone for a while, but that's not even secondary.

I could join any other given task for combat-characters with Quinn, even tho she will likely spread hostility. |D

Post by: MysticLancer on June 30, 2015, 12:35:15 pm
humm ok. Relina will volunteer for the mission to attack and capture the enemy outpost hidden in Crimson Empire territory

Alvin or Vera (if shapeshifting will be more beneficial) will volunteer to infiltrate an intelligence building located in the old world

Michael will volunteer as one of the mages to attack the cursed armory

Kain will volunteer for the quest to attack the enemy outpost with the vital object
Title: Re: The War Council
Post by: Husky Dragon on June 30, 2015, 01:00:14 pm
Lili, I went ahead and put kira for the second mission, and bomber, I put Relina for the first - for now, we'll only be allowing multiple signups for cases where one of the characters is hosting the event. We're going to have multiple event hosts, and having multiple non-host characters from the same player in different missions at the same time will create a scheduling nightmare. But everyone's quite free to sign up for a second mission after they've completed the first.
Title: Re: The War Council
Post by: Ausar on June 30, 2015, 01:21:14 pm
Possible contributions of my characters:


Please apply one of those chars to a mission as needed and as it makes sense for the balance of the individual team.
Title: Re: The War Council
Post by: Husky Dragon on June 30, 2015, 03:17:52 pm
Athian has been signed up for the latter three-man outpost raid. :) We just need two more for that one.
Title: Re: The War Council
Post by: Husky Dragon on June 30, 2015, 03:27:30 pm
Another mission has been added, and they are now labeled by number to make signups and references easier.

Kyle SIlverfall will apply for Mission #2

Post by: Ashtyn on June 30, 2015, 05:11:18 pm
*not at all in a grumpy tone* ...for the record, next time it would be nice if someone dropped the guy in charge (Xahu) a note saying Anzhelina is starting a campaign against the enemies just so he can know something of this magnitude is taking place before she goes out publicly recruiting people and all that.
Title: Re: The War Council
Post by: Quintus on July 01, 2015, 12:51:18 am
   My character Jo'al would be interested in partaking in missions:
     "Mission #2: A group of three combat characters are requested to attack an enemy outpost which contains a vital object that will prevent Doncoutle from forcing closed any portals Lismore chooses to use to enter his domain."
   "Mission #3: A group of two combat and one stealth characters are requested to assassinate an important enemy "
and
  "Mission #5: Abbadon will lead two combat characters to an enemy laboratory in the oldworld in seize and/or destroy all materials related to the artifact that the enemy possesses at that location."
Title: Re: The War Council

Serena Whisperwind: Strong Support/Healer, not a combat character but has combat support skills and is a priestess/healer
Navaru Sil'Dur: Support Mage/Priest, my necromancer
Daneira: Combat Ranger Kitty

Uhh not sure if you saw my post But my character Kyle Silverfall will likly apply for Mission #2: A group of three combat characters are requested to attack an enemy outpost which contains a vital object that will prevent Doncoutle from forcing closed any portals Lismore chooses to use to enter his domain.
Title: Re: The War Council
Post by: Ani on July 01, 2015, 09:01:00 pm
Kyle has been added to mission 2, and it has been moved into active missions. Once the details and planning have been decided, the coordinator who will be hosting the event will coordinate with the players who signed up to pick a suitable time/date.

Attn: Anzhelina

Any who have not yet heard the call to arms stand deaf and blind. With the needs of the city any who can stand against this tide have a duty to do so. Other responsibilities have kept me from responding to the City's call, yet those distractions have been silenced. I hereby officially offer my services as scout. You will find no other resident capable of my speed with out flight or magic. This mobility lends itself well to my combat style of hit and run archery. Very few paws can loose fletching at a greater rate or accuracy. Additionally my time behind a desk has provided me unique skills in supply, logistics, and financial sabotage.

If you find yourself in need of any of the mentioned skills please feel free to reach out to me.


Signed
(Jagged speed writing)
Quartermaster Nansen, ShaRroos

(OOC TLDR ShaRroos Nansen is a skilled archer and very fast scout. If you can find an event that fits my play time 9pm SLT and latter Saturday – Wednesday I would be glad to RP)

Rain will do whatever is asked of her, unless she is asked to fight another follower of Aer. She will not kill anyone who worships Aer, no matter what they have done. Not without consulting Rune or another Lismorean follower of her faith.

Cena will fight however she is asked to fight, as it is a condition of her potential release. She has requested a potion that temporarily will allow her to return to her birth form so she can help fight in the air. Once the war has ended, she's expressed thoughts of snapping her blades in half to signify her departing the path of war, and starting on the path of peace.

Eve will do whatever is asked of her, for the right price.

Sparrow will serve Athian however he sees fit (he being Athian!)

Prisoner transfer! I need to get an idea of when we can get the most city guard characters around to play in an important prisoner transfer! The prisoner's kind of a surprise, but a large and capable guard compliment is requested!

I'm trying my best to work with your schedule ShaRroos, but there's only one day out of the week where I could host anything with you. :( Aryn should be able to do some stuff you can get involved with, though. We're talking about it.

After an official prisoner transfer, it has been confirmed that Char was captured. In addition, another one of the sin demons, Sloth, has been reported captured from the enemy's hands. The proccess of unbindings her is underway. The impact these changes have had on the enemy's operations will be reflected in the action log and overview.

Ausar could join in and offer his services as an aspiring prince and blade dancer. ;)  Of course he would like to at least pursue some venues of looking into if the demon can be dispatched as an agent of Doncoutle without slaying him outright.

Let me know if you want the foxramau with you on that mission.

My character Zathiel Adai, a holy character of maybe above average experience level seeks to join an assault on one of the fortresses! He's a combat character!

Jo'al would join a normal combat OP if available. He wouldn't have the endurance for a fortress assault, likely.

Hope my interest spurs some more war in the war! ;)
Title: Re: The War Council
Post by: Ani on August 12, 2015, 07:07:57 pm
A new mission has been added. Zathiel Adai has been added to the signup automatically. (Though you're free to ask him to be unlisted if you don't want him to do that one, Zashiro. :) )

Lismore's warriors are advised to be on their guards! Steel Isle scouts have just reported that several independent islands approaching Lismore seem to have been viciously assaulted by an unknown assailant. Most deaths seem to have occurred by beheading, survivors are being treated for severe injury and abrupt cases of insanity.
Title: Re: The War Council
Post by: Ani on August 24, 2015, 03:45:46 pm
The creature has been defeated! The demonic spirit possessing what turned out to be a large suit of armor was either destroyed or escaped, and the only remnants of the armor are a sword and helmet.
Title: Re: The War Council
Post by: Ani on August 28, 2015, 03:39:21 am
Our frontline scouts have reported a significant drop in operational activity in Doncoutle's forces. The likely cause is the extreme devotion of manpower that has been required in his part in order to keep our forces engaged. Keep up the good work, everyone, you are truly worthy defenders of the realm!



Anzhelina, Commissioned General of the Allied Skylands Forces
Title: Re: The War Council
Post by: Ani on October 02, 2015, 07:05:02 pm
Last night, it was reported that Anzhelina's scouts discovered the location of a critical command center on the border of Doncoutle's controlled lands in the skylands. A devastating attack was lead against the installation, the damage to Doncoutle's supply lines and the loss of several critical officers has caused the sustained offensive against Lismore and it's allies to stop dead in it's tracks. It is also reported that a large portion of Doncoutle's forward forces were destroyed as they attempted to fall back through their various portals back to their master's realm.
