ASSIGNMENTS & MISSIONS

[frdivisions]

(frozen comment) Information

[frdivisions]

Every month or two (depending on game plot load), there will be assignments or missions available to members of the Forces division. Your character can either volunteer for these, or be ordered to do them IC.

Only Forces division members may sign up, but non-division members can assist.

Submit a report here when the event’s completed. If you don’t submit a report, it didn’t happen!


ASSIGNMENTS:

Assignments are tasks without any major impact on the game setting. Think of them as prompts to give your character something to do or talk about.

These are player-led tasks. I will not be GM-ing any tags (though if you need help or details, you're welcome to ask!)

Feel free to use NPCs/environments/situations to help further a thread, where appropriate. Please keep in mind the game setting and NPC guidelines.

MISSIONS:

Larger, and more involved than assignments. These are limited events that have potential to impact the game setting.

While still player-led, missions will be more closed-ended, and may include scenes or plot points.

Details will be provided after accepting the mission.

NOTES:

Life happens. If you take on an assignment or mission, and something comes up, just let me know OOC and we’ll work it out without any IC penalty to your character. It’s no biggie!

That said, failing to file reports without talking to me OOC will result in your character being picked last in future signups.

Use your good judgment: It’s totally cool for a character to do poorly at these (failure can lead to super fun threads!!), but keep in mind that your characters’ actions will have IC consequences — even if it's just a stern look and no dessert.

Hit me up OOC if you've got questions, or if you want to propose changes an assignment or mission, so that I can run stuff by the mods as needed.

If you’re interested in these, sign up your character by April 7th.

Signup slots are guidelines; if there’s more or less interest than expected, we’ll modify the numbers.


GET DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS

WHAT: Determine which Inquisition personnel will accept magical healing, and who won’t. Which healers/doctors/etc have non-magical techniques at their disposal? Are some people chill with some types of healing magic, and not others? Take a survey, or go find out in person — getting injured first isn't a requirement.

Only one report should be filed. Don’t worry about including everything (these are only prompts!), just talk about what your characters did.

WHO: 1 - 3 people.
WHERE: Kirkwall.


MEET ME IN THE PIT

WHAT: There are combatants spread across every division, and everyone’s called upon in a time of need. Find and spar with (willing!!) Inquisition personnel outside of Forces, and report back on the results. Did you discover anything unexpected about your technique, or theirs? Speaking with Rifters is encouraged.

Each character should file their own report. Don’t worry about including everything (these are only prompts!), just talk about what your characters did.

WHO: Unlimited.
WHERE: Kirkwall.


HOW MUCH IS THAT DOGGIE IN THE WINDOW (COSTING US WEEKLY)

WHAT: The Inquisition is brimming with animals: Griffins, mounts, companions, combatants — even the slugs in the gardens. Who owns what, and how are they used about base? What plans are place to care for them, should their present owners be unable to? Can we weaponize the nugs?

Only one report should be filed. Don’t worry about including everything (these are only prompts!), just talk about what your characters did.

WHO: 1 - 3 people.
WHERE: Kirkwall.

If you’re interested in these, sign up your character by May 7th.

Signup slots are guidelines; if there’s more or less interest than expected, we’ll modify the numbers. Please don't worry about meeting hard-and-fast dates for reports, either — a month is a good estimate, but I'm not going to freak out if you need a week.


DOWN N' DIRTY

WHAT: In "honour" of the Grand Tourney, a group of Fereldan ex-refugees are hosting their own competition this month: Mud wrestling. The Inquisition's members have been invited to participate, so bring home victory — and a trophy. There's definitely a trophy.

Only one report should be filed. Don’t worry about including everything (these are only prompts!), just talk about what your characters did.

WHO: 1 - 3 people.
WHERE: Kirkwall.


POP SOME TAGS

WHAT: The Grand Tourney will attract fighters from all Thedas: Check out what they’re wearing. Are there styles of armor that you haven’t seen before? Craftsmen who might be convinced to exchange ideas, or to sell to the Inquisition directly? Did you get to try anything new?

Each character should file their own report. Don’t worry about including everything (these are only prompts!), just talk about what your characters did.

WHO: Unlimited.
WHERE: Wycome.


SUNK COST

With the weather warming up (and the ever-present threat of naval doom blah lbah) it's important that Inquisition should know how to swim. Who does or doesn't? Offer lessons, or practice your own backstroke, or just have a big splash fight.

Only one report should be filed. Don’t worry about including everything (these are only prompts!), just talk about what your characters did.

WHO: 1 - 3 people.
WHERE: Kirkwall.

If you’re interested in these, sign up your character by June 8th.

Signup slots are guidelines; if there’s more or less interest than expected, we’ll modify the numbers. Please don't worry about meeting hard-and-fast dates for reports, either — a month is a good estimate, but I'm not going to freak out if you need a week.

NOTE: While you aren't required to thread the specific assignment, your report must link a thread where it is used in some way.

Even if it's only characters hanging out afterwards, or talking about how much the assignment sucks. I realize this has been unclear in the past, so it only applies to assignments going forward! If a given assignment doesn't need to be threaded at all, I'll mark it accordingly.


WHOSE LIFE IS IT ANYWAY

WHAT: Sometimes you have to improvise. Find things that aren't weapons (maybe you could ask around for weird stuff to borrow?) and practice fighting with them. Throw sand in your friends' eyes, bludgeon each other with candlesticks, and watch out for bananas. No magic is allowed for this task.

Only one report should be filed. Don’t worry about including everything (these are only prompts!), just talk about what your characters did.

WHO: 1 - 3 people.
WHERE: Kirkwall.


BRAVE CAMP-ANIONS

WHAT: Take a quick trip outside the city to test Inquisition tents, and try building your own shelter. What’s easy to set up? What holds up well against the weather? Does anything need repairs? Did you figure out the ideal ‘smore ingredients, or ghost stories to demoralize the enemy? Team bonding!!

Only one report should be filed. Don’t worry about including everything (these are only prompts!), just talk about what your characters did.

WHO: 1 - 3 people.
WHERE: Outside Kirkwall.


ESCOUTURE

A dwarven clan influential in the Kirkwall Merchant’s Guild is hosting counterparts from the Imperium while they renegotiate certain contracts. Under the current political climate, both families are wary of outside interference, and have requested Inquisition assistance in securing the meeting. Make sure that nothing sketchy happens, entertain the bored relatives, and most importantly: look good doing it. Proper attire will be provided, at the merchants’ expense.

Only one report should be filed. Don’t worry about including everything (these are only prompts!), just talk about what your characters did.

WHO: 1 - 3 people.
WHERE: Kirkwall.

[frdivisions]

If you’re interested in these, sign up your character by July 22nd.

Signup slots are guidelines; if there’s more or less interest than expected, we’ll modify the numbers. Please don't worry about meeting hard-and-fast dates for reports — a month is a good estimate, but it doesn’t matter much.

NOTE: While you aren't required to thread the specific assignment, your report must link a thread where it is used in some way.

Even if it's only characters hanging out afterwards, or talking about how much the assignment sucks. This now qualifies you for an AC bonus.


LOWTOWN AND ORDER

WHAT: In a bid to improve relations with the Kirkwall guard — and poach anyone with second thoughts — your characters will speak with their recruits about the exciting and necessary stuff the Inquisition does in the Gallows, and how we can all work together for a safer city. Be inspirational, and keep an eye on any particularly promising trainees.

Only one report should be filed. Don’t worry about including everything (these are only prompts!), just talk about what your characters did.

WHO: 1 - 3 people.
WHERE: Kirkwall.



LIKE A WRECKING BALL

WHAT: Visit the Wounded Coast, and use the local piles of uninhabited rock to test the most efficient way to break into, destroy, or otherwise open up an area through force. Using non-magical methods — or cooperation with non-mages — is strongly encouraged. Bandit or giant crab encounters optional.

Only one report should be filed. Don’t worry about including everything (these are only prompts!), just talk about what your characters did.

WHO: 1 - 3 people.
WHERE: The Wounded Coast.



CAREER DAY

WHAT: Shadow a (PC) member of another division through their duties. What did you learn about what they do? How can you apply that to your own work? Do you and these frail nerds have something in common after all?

Each character should file their own report. Don’t worry about including everything (these are only prompts!), just talk about what your characters did.

WHO: Unlimited.
WHERE: Anywhere.
