OOC PLANNING: may event end - the god-fighting route

[crosslaced]

Wanna fight a god? this post is for you!

As explained here, to get to Bliss in E3 we will need to travel across (and do search requests for) at least two unexplored squares. Two prospective routes have been suggested (see the map below for reference) D4 -> D3 -> E3 or F4 -> F3 -> E3. Note: E4 -> E3 is inaccessible!

Please use this post to gather fellow explorers and decide on the routes you want to take! I'm going to assume we will take both routes if there are enough people, but you can discuss that too. I'll put up signup headers!

A last mod note: Bear in mind that there will be considerably more obstacles, as Bliss will be putting up a fight.

Oh hey I just remembered

Because of Necronomicon's scanning abilities, Futaba actually gets one free rudimentary search result per month for one square and I have done jack shit with her this month so far in that regard so that scan is still there. Could probably be useful en route? Specifically for spotting and routing/avoiding any potential dangers as much as possible.

She's also my only one who can feasibly get in on this because Tataru is Tataru and Aster is busy being Bliss food.

Additionally! If you need for your sleeping character to be located for whatever reason, she can actually help with that, assuming they've met and you're okay with her sensing them through Necronomicon (obligatory permissions post link for those abilities). If they haven't met yet I'm okay with handwaving or threading something out from between the intro and the event. It'll take.... a bit of searching but at least she can realize they're there and point people in the right direction.

Oooh nice! I was thinking of doing an IC organization network post (mostly Lup going MEET ME AT THE MANA POOL BRING YER BOMBS) tonight and Vanessa and I briefly talked about Lup and Shepard potentially leading two groups to Bliss, so this would work great!

Are Laurent and Damen available to lead the groups to where shit went down for them?

[crosslaced]

Most probably! they're probably deep in Ziziphus and can set up some smoke signals to lead people to their location. Or at least, Laurent can, you'll have to @ r about Damen.

Laurent also advises someone sensible look after Damen if they're separated, not because he cares but because Damen is a guy who believes everything will probably be okay and they're fighting a god who's feeding people fantasies about how everything is okay so you know. No type advantage.

[hellawrath]

Lup will keep an eye on ur puppy if Damen ends up in her group, it'll be fine.

[savedbyasong]

So I figure that Shion will probably try and make his way to Laurent and Damon on the 16th because he's closer to them than the mana pool. I figure they spend the day before the ST talks to them looking for people Aster and trying to wake people up if they find them?

He will join a group for god slaying but just checking that that sounds reasonable?

[crosslaced]

This'll need confirmation with r/Damen-mun but I'm cool with it!

[postictal]

I probably shouldn't put Tim in either search group seeing as that might futz up the RNG, BUT! he's very handy with setting shit on fire as well as being relentlessly fucking unhappy so he can do THAT shit for anyone who needs it :3

[encircling]

if anyone needs a healer/fire mage mira's ur gal

possibly she might just be flitting around flinging healing spells anyway, so

SIGNUP: D4, D3

[crosslaced]

do ur own search requests ok

[piercetheheart]

This seems like the most direct route (as far as Gladio is concerned) so... Yes. Shield for this group.

Also Gladio gets extra shit from searches so lemme do the search request, yeah?

[meredream]

Tossing the Hunter into this group!

[hellawrath]

Lup has nine bombs, an itchy spell finger and her impulse control is being eaten alive LET'S GO

Re: SIGNUP: D4, D3

[solperierat]

Ed will join up! He's got some bombs, a phoenix, and a whole lot of angry

[scourgingstars]

guess who's awake and pissed off, chucklefucks

[nightcure]

someone needs to keep ardyn and gladio from murdering each other

[deathfindsaway]

whoops forgot to comment here, count Kravitz in on this group! He's following in with his scythe and also has some minimal escape abilities should someone get real injured and need to tap out.

SIGNUP: F4, F3

[crosslaced]

do ur own search requests ok

[savedbyasong]

I'll throw Shion in here then!

[promiselisting]

I'll handle the actual request if that's okay with all involved, since Futaba also has a search bonus (thank you weird soul ufo thing)

[encircling]

putting mira here o7

[thermalwind]

Adding an awake and pissed off Keith. He has a sword, he has a bomb from a shitlord, a phoenix friend, and a hell of a lot other weapons. LET'S ROCK

[tenthstreetbred]

Late as all get out, but put Shepard in here as well!

[prettypurpleparlor]

Am I allowed to toss Muffet on here, late as it is? We can say that she followed after them once she'd cut some people free, if you'd like her to be a belated arrival.
