( october 2017 plot write-up and ooc plotting post pt. 1 )
October's plot progression will be posted in THREE parts. Only the last part will be a formal event log, so players are free to take the information provided in these plot write-ups and plan their own threads. Characters will also have a choice to make. What will they do after learning about or experiencing these events? Please note that you YOU MAY ONLY SIGN UP FOR ONE CHOICE. This post will also function as a plotting post!
THE ATTACK ![]() Nobody, not even those most in tune with Olympia's underground, could have predicted the attack that will befall Olympia on the morning of the 1st of October. It's a busy time in the Market district, and that is likely why this group strikes when it does. A loud, thundering BOOM can be heard from the center of the district, and panic ensues. What was a pleasant morning in Olympia becomes one rife with confusion and fear. It's a bomb of some sort, and within a split seconds, the immediate area surrounding the point of explosion is covered with a thick, bright purple fog. There are no injuries. The explosion merely releases this unknown purple chemical into the air. Panic turns into confusion. Natives close to the attack site report beginning to feel unwell about an hour after exposure. Their memories of the attack are hazy. The following characters were unfortunate enough to be close to the site of explosion, and will now suffer the effects:
Infected characters may sign up for a choice as outlined below, but due their compromised physical state, will not be successful in completing CHOICE 1 or CHOICE 2. THE CULPRITS
The reckless terrorist is quickly caught mere minutes after setting off the biological weapons. She is a young woman, and has protected herself from the chemical accordingly. It appears that she did not anticipate being caught, and under threat of death, even she crumbles to a hearty dose of truth serum administered by Evras. The confession tape is sent as a city-wide broadcast to every citizen's phone.
Remember the Carriage Quest? The Shady Man offered quite a large sum of money to those willing to do his bidding, didn't he? That's because someone intercepted his plan, and now, thanks to the help of certain people, he was able to get back on track. That carriage driver you killed? That was not his original cargo. The carriage driver knew that these were biological weapons meant to be set off in Olympia, hijacked the cargo, and raced to find a safe place to dispose of them. With the carriage driver killed and the cargo safely delivered to the South Outpost, the original plan was set to continue. After much resistance, she is willing to give up names. Soldier: 76. Ana Amari.
Jesse McCree. Rocket. Peter Quill. Archer. Giovanni Rammsteiner. Leanne. Genjo Sanzo. Norba Shino. Those are the people who delivered the weapons to us. Thanks to them, your people will suffer. This is just the beginning, assholes.
The feed cuts off. Unfortunately, despite having what you may have thought were good intentions, these characters are now Wanted Fugitives within the Kingdom of Olympia for the act of treason. They will be stripped of their job title, and will now have to wear disguises around the public parts of Olympia. Multiple postings around the city will show their face, and a 10,000 silver reward to anyone who hunts them down, captures them, and brings them to Ashti. MOD NOTE: There are ways for the above characters to re-gain their job title, Olympia REP, and clear your name, but you must allow your character to be captured first. Please PM us to discuss terms! WHAT NEXT?
What will your character do, if anything at all? Please note that these choices affect the next part of this event, and may have character consequences. Sign up for ONE CHOICE in the comments below.
CHOICE 1. My character will dedicate themselves to hunting down the Shady Man and his associates, and will bring anyone caught to Ashti.You have until OCTOBER 7TH to submit your choice. You may thread and plot with people outside of your own choice. For example, Character A who signs up to help find a cure for the disease may also thread with Character B in helping them track down an associate, as well as Character C in speculating on a rumor, but for OOC purposes, only their official choice will count towards affecting the plot. Please feel free to use this post for plotting!

Ermes Costello (hunting)
So if you want a chance at some negative CR, Ermes wants to find and capture the PCs that were named by the terrorist, because 10k is great. She's going to try to appeal first, say that they should turn themselves in and know that there will be refugees who will absolutely try to argue for their good name (she herself would do this for anyone she knows.) But if that doesn't work, she will definitely go into fight mode.
SO if any of the listed folks wants to do anything with this, hit me up? She won't be looking to kill... cause she wants the silver. Being a bounty hunter is definitely not the same as being a cop she will argue this to make herself feel better.

also he'll have an outfit change (no visor, wearing a hood), but i think it's fair to assume that ermes would recognize his voice if he was talking to someone, and then his scar patterns once she got a look at his face
he'll be hanging around the red light district trying to find the shady man ... HOPEFULLY THAT GIVES YOU ENOUGH TO WORK WITH
