[POLL] Next Arc
I have many different plotlines we can explore in the next Talus Arc. Too many, actually (I need to stop worldbuilding). Need the groups opinion on where you want to go next. Here are just a few.
1) Explore the Undertow with Evening Star in her Voidcarft Nightingale.
2) Take on the next Cursewarden contract. The Goldband Ledger reported that around midnight last night Dreaming Street and all its inhabitants became encased an inch thick blanket of ice, freezing solid those unfortunate enough to be lingering outside one of the nightclubs in the area.
3) Go on an archeological dig under the island. With the collapse of the Mack & Torry Tower (christmas one-off session) a clean-up crew has discovered a chamber under the sub-foundation.
4) Follow up on the Blackwater Plot. Misery Blackwater was building a cabal of allies within the ten houses in a plot to return her house to the inner circle. Taking this information to the Empire may prove interesting.
5) Learn more about the Eth. Volodoon is dead and gone. But the Eth are an even more mysterious group than you had first thought. Learn more about their history and wild claims of otherworldly entities and universe destroying engines.
6) Expand the Bar. You now own Shadow's Home next to the Troubadour. Whatever it is you think you want to do with it, someone is going to have something to say about it. Expand or open a new venture.
Comments
Fae would probably be interested in #4 the most.
7) Visit one of the other 8 realities. The Black Ships are always willing to transport those who have secrets to share.
There's a whole bunch of people who need warmed up? Ziz could be helpful! Or give them new problems.
Ryan would be interested in seeing the conclusion of the Evening Star arc.
Tol would be interested in:
1) Learning more about the realities, the undertow and overflow, and finding out what happened to Evard (and if he has any fun secrets around) is definitely up Tol's alley.
2) Tol agreed to be a Cursewarden. That comes with responsibilities like taking care of these things.
3) Again learning more about Talus. Perhaps we could have some of our friends stop by and check this out for us?
4) Tol would have wanted little to do with the Blackwaters, but now that the ones he knew are all (perhaps) very, very dead (should we make Lady Blackwater go pop in the lightning river as well?) Tol may be more interested in following up with Melissa about some things and figure out Misery was up to.
5) Yup. That's a thing Tol wants.
6) Tol likes the bar and working in it and expanding it. He's also interested in the Curio shop we have (we own that right?). Sources of income and good old, fashioned, and potentially less life threatening hard work.
7) Not feeling a driving desire to leave Talus yet. Definitely not a desire to go back to Greenhallow.
Me:
6 sounds like a lot of fun for some RP focused sessions. A chance to talk to all the people we keep sending back to the troub, make some business deals, etc.
Dokshay is all about contracts. He's in for #2
Okay, three votes for the next CurseWarden contract called 'Unforgiven'
More Curse Warden sounds good to me, are we leaving the Evening Star for later then?
We can always add back the Evening Star as a side quest the same way we did in SSotS. Same with the Troubadour stuff.
Cool, excite!
