Iwagakure Catacombs Event!

Post by Yura » Fri Dec 15, 2017 12:50 pm

Attention Iwagakure Shinobi!

We are in desperate need of your assistance! Since our previous announcement, we have lost contact with the exploration teams that we sent inside of the catacombs. We can only imagine what may have befallen them on their adventures through these dark and mysterious caves and we think it best if we send some of you in to rescue them! The rest of you will be assigned one of the currently unexplored caverns to uncover whatever secrets may lay within them. Oh what treasures we may find!

For the glory of Iwagakure!

Well now that that is out of the way...

Welcome everyone to the Iwagakure Catacombs event! As you may have gathered, this event is primarily focused around expanding the depths of the Iwagakure catacombs with a little bit of other stuff thrown in. We are hoping to flesh out these caverns so that they can be used in further plot by Iwagakure Shinobi and possibly play a larger role in the village's function far in the future.

Below you will find a break down of topic ideas for your characters to take on. While there are a few specific plot points that we hope to explore, you will notice that the event is very open ended and purposefully vague so that you can let your imaginations run wild and get a bit creative with what you may discover in these catacombs. Want to discover an ancient weapon for your character? Go for it. What to find a horde of treasure? No problem. Just remember to share the wealth (and by share we mean Iwagakure is taking some). Honestly, the stage is set for you to have your own adventures. If you aren't sure if something will work, feel free to ask and we will try to work with you to make it work.

You will also find links to a more detailed overview of what the catacombs are as well as a link to a topic tracker. We ask that when you put in a PB request related to this event that you then post a link to the request in the topic tracker thread so that we can keep track of all of the threads for this event (and all of the wonderful things that you discover).

So yeah. We hope you all have some fun with this event and really take e opportunity to get creative.

FOR THE GLORY OF IWA!!!

Iwagakure Catacombs Event!

EVENT TOPICS

Rescue Missions (Story Told)

The main plot boards of this event, 3 Different Expedition Teams went into the newly discovered catacombs to see what they could find:
  • Team 1: After not hearing from them for some time, one member suddenly returned, bloody and damaged. They report that ancient traps line the halls of the catacombs that they entered and that several members of his team were killed by them before he was separated from the rest by another one. They need a team to help find them and get them out safely, if possible. (D-C Rank Plotboard)
  • Team 2: Members of Team 2 haven't been heard from since their 3rd day in the catacombs. Comprised of a small group of village catacomb guards, Team 2 was tasked with tracking down their fellow guard who seemingly disappeared after discovering these lost ruins. Now that contact with them has been lost, a team is sent in to track and rescue the team if needed. Upon an initial search the rescue crew will come across an array of abnormally sized creatures who are likely the cause of the team's disappearance. (C-B Rank Plotboard)
  • Team 3: Members of Team 3 haven't been heard from since their 5th day in the catacombs. Initial search for the team has turned up no leads. The rescue team decides to follow the initial route of Team 3 and search for clues as to which direction that they followed. Eventually their search leads them to an area of the catacombs that is filled with "Spirit Realm Corridors", each protected by ancient fuuinjutsu. It is there that they are ambushed by a hoard of cloaked figures, cultists who intend to release the fuuin placed on the spirit corridors and unleash the spirits into this world. (B-A Rank Plotboard)
These plot boards will be handed out on a first come first serve basis. If multiple people of similar rank volunteer, a team will be formed to embark on the mission together. If interest in the main plot boards warrants it, more main PB's will be added to allow for more players to participate.

Discovery Missions (Free Form)

Other than the main plot boards of the event, participants are free to embark on their own adventures into the catacombs to flesh out and expand the depths of this region. We are essentially giving you the ability to world-build (within reason). As Discovery Missions, these missions are more freeform in nature as the individual members can essentially storytell for eachother and 'discover' new things in the caverns. Some examples of discovery threads are:
  • Discovering underground resources such as underground springs/lakes, forests, etc.
  • Discovering lost treasure.
  • Mapping out different routes throughout the catacombs.
  • And much more (if you can imagine it).
Keep in mind that these catacombs will be literally crawling with an assortment of 'mutated' giant creatures which can play an integral part to any thread that you do. Additionally, it wouldn't be a bad idea to run an idea by Iwa's OOC Kao just to make sure that they fit in with the theme and/or are plausible, but otherwise the scene is set for you to take creative control. Or, if you are just looking for help coming up with ideas, feel free to ask!

Now get out there and explore!

UPDATE

All threads pre-faced in the title with "[Catacombs]" when graded also award stats. You do not have to create a PB to do this as all threads for the Catacombs event and surrounding the event will be considered a rolling plot board as long as the content concerns exploring the catacombs, making discoveries, and fighting abnormally sized creatures (and/or the occassional spirit).

Please filter all threads like this in the Topic Grading section, and title your request for a grading with "[Catacombs]" as well.

You will cash out the stats as you have in the past via a mod linked to the grading. It is still advised that you check with the OOC to make sure that the theme of your thread falls in line with the general theme of the event, but other than that you are free to explore.

Happy Hunting!
