Uhhh roll call? I know I'm not the only one who suddenly found herself elsewhere. Thorne's ... real interesting.

If someone in Solvunn could check on the orchardists, I would appreciate it, they're a really nice family and they'll be worried.

( while kaveh understands that not everyone wants to idly chat using the magic that seems to form words out of the air, he really is at his wit's end. he doesn't even have mehrak here to listen to him talk himself through his current predicament; as one of the summoned he doesn't think an answer will be found in any books he can get his hands on in the free cities.

but he's not the only summoned here, which means that perhaps he's not the only one currently dealing with... this. )

Hello, sorry to intrude on all of you, I'll be as quick as I can. I know we're all still reeling from whatever that was, but I'm at my wits end and I could really use some... advice. And given the nature of this place, it's not a far stretch to imagine that I might not be the only one struggling right now.

It's just... I woke up with wings. And that might seem like a welcome change of pace but now none of my clothes fit, and I keep knocking things over with them because I forget that they're there when I'm focused. Or, even worse, when I'm not even aware of moving them -- I can't bear to think of the number of people I've accidentally hit with them and it's only been a few days. And surely someone else amongst our number has advice or experiences with unruly... appendages. For lack of a better word.

So if there's anyone who might be able to help or share how they've dealt with the unexpected gifts we've been granted, I'd sincerely appreciate it. And don't worry, I'll be sure to buy anyone a drink in exchange -- it's the least I can do. And thank you.

Oh, I'm Kaveh, by the way. I'm an architect back home and, well, this sort of stuff doesn't just happen where I'm from. Mostly. Or when it does it happens to other people, not me.

[At some point, when he's exhausted down to his bones but knows he won't be able to sleep yet, it hits Wilhelm that the people who might normally take it upon themselves to make an announcement in this situation are, for the most part, sitting in jail or lying low in Nott. Then, tentatively, he arrives at the terrifying conclusion that he could actually qualify as a responsible adult.

So, here goes.]

Hey everyone.

Um.

Castle Thorne was bombed earlier tonight. Or, I don't know if they were bombs exactly, but there were huge flashes of light when they hit.

As far as I know, no Summoned were injured badly. A lot of soldiers were killed though. I think the wards around the castle protected it from the worst of the blast, but it did get damaged.

I don't know if anywhere else in Thorne was attacked. I haven't heard anything from Nott.

I saw one of the devices that was dropped, or what was left of it. It was metal and had an arcana sign engraved on it. I think we can assume it's from the Free Cities.

Anyway, that's...pretty much everything I know. If you have more info, go ahead and share it.

[Threadjacking encouraged, obviously. This message is sent a few hours after the attack.]

As you all know - Claude, Steve, and I, as your Conclave representatives and per your ~~incessant~~ request have worked out a deal with the government to assist with funding a medical clinic for the Farhill Mining Camp.

Many of you have volunteered labor or supplies to help with the set-up, which will now be expected since we have the necessary approval. However, with the current unfortunate state of the weather, the actual timeline is up in the air.

If you have further questions, please don't hesitate to contact Claude or Steve.

( OOC: Link to the proposal approval! All volunteers are welcome. With the event coming up and the potential changes to the game setting there's no official log planned for this right now, so feel free to ICly plan out contributions and work here!

UPDATE: The Free Cities will set up a portal stone for volunteers to reach the camp more easily during the storms, which will be available until the portal disruptions at the end of the month! )

I like to think that we group of Summoned should celebrate each other's accomplishments, and SOME OF US are too humble to share. But we have enough friendships across borders that it seems just inherently wrong to keep things to ourselves.

With that in mind, our beloved genius Viktor is being awarded an honorary degree at the esteemed Grand Academy of General Science for his impressive technological work. I know that many of us have benefited from his work and therefore he will have to live with the acknowledgment of that whether he likes it or not.

SO even though he hates this and he's probably going to uninvite me from his shop forever, I want everyone to know! To the Free Cities folks, we'll be attending the ceremony to cheer him on, and there will be an afterparty at his shop. I believe Hilda has the invitations detailing where to go and when.

Also they gave him a great nickname called the "Doctor of Illumination" which I love.

If you find me murdered by being bludgeoned to death with a cane, know this: I regret nothing.

[ The following appears in a neat, practiced script that some may recognize as Himeka's handwriting. To the more magically inclined, it may faintly sparkle in places. ]

One of the things I've felt most fortunate about my time here is that I get the opportunity to meet so many people from so many different places. And I know I'm not alone in that!

Some of us has been here for a few summers while others only a moon or so, and it's not always easy when we have malms and mountains between us. But one of the best ways to understand where someone comes from is through what they like to eat. Right?

So, Alucard and I have a proposal! This could be the opportunity to create the first universe-wide cookbook. So if you have something to contribute from your world, whether it's your favorite dish, an old family recipe, or just something that you think is a staple to show off your culture's palette, let us know!

I’m not sure they have a name for the aftermath of a dragon having a bbq, Hilda. But that’s probably close enough. I know the Inn renovations have been keeping a lot of us busy, but the devastation from the aftermath of the monster attacks left a lot of places either completely destroyed or close to it.

The Red Path was important for a lot of reasons to the natives here and if they want to get some vegetation and seedlings replanted there so it’s not a wasteland come spring. That means we’re a little limited on time to get things transferred and planted before winter officially hits. At least what the desert calls winter, anyway...

Anyway indeed and before we get too far into Sylvain’s thoughts on the weather - we’ve come up with an idea on what to do. It involved a little fundraising and some talking here and there, but we’ve found those willing to donate funds to purchase some supplies to make this happen or the supplies themselves from merchants around Cadens. Some of the soil we brought back from the Nether will also be going to good use here in hopes of making sure everything planted does as well as it can, and hopefully it’ll be good as new soon. Or, well, as close to it as we can get, considering.

While we’ll be out there working on this regardless, we wanted to extend the invitation to anyone else who might be willing to join in. It shouldn’t take up too much of your time, and any help would be greatly appreciated to help the Red Path recover a little quicker. Promise there’s also a round of drinks back at the Sarstina for anyone who stops by.

Hey you lot.

Sam and me are working with Mag to update the inn. We'll be adding more suites, upgrading the kitchen and the current rooms, adding an outdoor eating space, and generally giving a nice coat of paint and cleaning it up.

She's been incredibly kind letting us all take over the inn, so we plan on doing it pro bono, and if anyone feels like helping out, that'd be great. Let me know if you've got construction skills, and if not, you can always help us move things around or admire our work with admiring compliments.

We're still in planning mode so it'll probably be the start of next month or so when we get into it, but wouldn't mind people signing up now so we can organize it. Also know if you stay at the inn it'll be a little bit of construction there, but it'll go fast.

Also if there are any new folks here who haven't come yet, Sarstina Inn is Summoned central and you've got a room there if you need it.

[Viktor’s familiar, hurried script appears once again on its own. Without someone helping to facilitate the post, he is straight to the point, much as he was some months ago, announcing the location of the kidnapped Summoned.]

I’m well aware that most of us are occupied with the hostile creatures descending on various locations across the continent. However:

I’m more concerned with the nature of these phenomena and am currently improving the devices that the Academy will use to take measurements from the rifts. When I’m finished, the data will be more accurate than what the Cadens scientists could gather on their own. If there are similar efforts in the other factions, it is in our best interests to collaborate. I have theories of my own, as well.

[That’s, you know, the hint to pony up some intel.]

In the meantime, for those of you in the Free Cities who might be venturing to the rifts, I will need an escort. I would prefer to collect the readings myself, but I’m willing to part with one of the devices provided you are responsible with it. That may allow us to cover more ground.

As always, if you are in need of equipment or repairs, my workshop is open (unless I’m examining the rifts, in which case I’ll handle inquiries when I return).

The point here is to get a central repository of intel going. If you know anything, we’d appreciate a tl;dr here for other folks to reference.

Hellhounds are ferocious, wolf-like creatures typically utilized to hunt down the damned and drag their souls to Hell. They’re sized anywhere between a large dog to a small donkey. They possess heightened senses, exceptional speed and strength, and prey may experience hallucinations when Hellhounds are nearby, used to inspire fear to either paralyze or frighten victims out of hiding.

Hellhounds will be invisible to undamned humans, but scorching a pair of eyeglasses with Holy Fire will make them visible to the wearer. For aid with Holy Fire, visit your resident Angel. In Thorne, find Lucifer. In Solvunn, Michael or Gabriel. I'm Castiel, you can find me in Cadens. A barrier of salt across all doorways and windows, or simply a circle around you, will keep Hellhounds from crossing. Typically, only Angel Blades could kill them, but it appears any conventional weapon here can work. Decapitation is advisable.

Stay safe, everyone. If you need help, call us. We’re here.

Aurelius once wrote, "If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment."

My fundamental concern about this wisdom is that it fails to spot the physical root of trauma. People who cannot snap out of their distress also deserve compassion and treatment.

My apologies for the intrusion. Locals informed me about the recent chaos and I found myself concerned and a little hesitant about reaching out. Back home I treat those who approach me for support with their mental health. I had excellent resources there but here I can offer nothing but a listening ear.

I understand some of you might be feeling exposed, stressed and intimidated. To you I offer my own wisdom. If you worry about what lies ahead, you will be the only one who suffers in the end.

To all else, kind regards for listening.

Oh. Reading, isn’t it? This system is entirely new to me. What a brave new world this place is.

[Viktor’s hurried script is maybe familiar to some, but what’s different now (beyond the fact that it’s slightly more hurried) is that it appears on its own. Whatever this is about, it’s apparently important enough for him to make a rare solo appearance, a departure from his joint broadcast with Jayce. Right now, it's just him, relaying information as quickly and expediently as possible.

If you’re not necessarily familiar with Viktor himself, the words match those soliciting location information not too long ago. It seems this is the culmination of those efforts.]

We know where the captives are being held. It’s an island directly north of the Singularity crater, roughly three hours off the coast of Thorne’s border, where I am now. I’ve created a map in my Horizon to show the location, as well as the data from the trackers that allowed me to pinpoint it. The explanation is slightly technical, but suffice to say the system is improved to the point where I am confident in its accuracy. Jayce and I can answer any questions about it, though you may need to direct inquiries regarding the magical component to Stephen.

[Who is here, also.]

Thank you to those who offered to collect additional data with the receivers. We would not have been able to locate this place otherwise.

The island itself is not large, though we suspect it’s heavily warded, with the exact holding area magically concealed. We weren’t able to detect anyone coming or going, so it’s likely the captors are using portals to access it directly from various abduction sites. I imagine this aligns with other investigations.

What happens now will require cooperation. Sam has done what reconnaissance he can, but we're not sure of what awaits us on the island itself, nor do we know who is responsible. Accessing the island will require us to eliminate its magical defenses or otherwise dispel its enchantments—any additional information that anyone has gathered is, at this point, vital to share.

[ooc: full receipts are here for the curious! responses may come from any of the four characters currently investigating the island, and please thread jack away. pit people…feel free to receive snippets of this message as appropriate. for additional plotting/convergence of plots, hit me up on plurk at

whitticus or discord at whitticus#8139.]

[ this comes through clear and is broadcast to everyone, though by this point sam is very aware that a good amount of people won't catch it. he tries, anyway, knowing some responses may be off or delayed or corrupted from a select few people, but he's not going to limit this.

he has enough information at this point. something is wrong, and it's not faction-focused. they need to act, and they need to act now. ]

THIS IS A CALL FOR ALL SUMMONED CURRENTLY NOT MIA
IN CASE IT HASN'T MADE IT TO YOU YET- SOMETHING'S HAPPENED
A GOOD PORTION OF SUMMONED AND LOCALS ALIKE HAVE GONE MISSING
AND IT WASN'T THEIR CHOICE
I'VE GOT REPORTS FROM THE FREE CITIES, SOLVUNN, AND THORNE ALIKE
AND FROM MY EXPERIENCE, WHEN THIS SORT OF STUFF HAPPENS, YOU HAVE TO ACT FAST

SO I'M SETTING UP A SEARCH AND REPORT SYSTEM FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO HELP
IF YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT YOUR SAFETY OR THIS ISN'T YOUR JAM, FINE
BUT IF YOU WANT TO HELP, HERE'S WHAT WE KNOW:

- ANYONE MISSING HAS CORRUPTED ACCESS TO WHATEVER NETWORK THIS IS, AS WELL AS THE HORIZON

- THEY'VE BEEN TAKEN BY FORCE ACROSS ALL FACTIONS

- WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY ENDED UP, BUT AT LEAST SOME OF THEM ARE CONCIOUS ENOUGH TO REACH OUT

-THEY’VE ENDED UP TOGETHER

PLANS RIGHT NOW INCLUDE:

HORIZON PATROLS TO SEE IF WE CAN CHECK ANYONE WHO CAN MAKE IT IN, NO MATTER HOW SHORT
>> I'M GOING TO BE SETTING UP A HOME BASE AT MY PLACE IN THE HORIZON.
>> A LOT OF Y'ALL HAVE BEEN THERE BEFORE
>> SHOW THE WAY FOR NEWBIES,
>> IF YOU STILL NEED HELP, I CAN DIRECT
>> ITS A PLACE TO DROP INFO OR JUST CHECK IN
>> WE’LL HAVE SHIFTS
>> HILDA AND PETRA ARE TAKING THE LEAD HERE

INVESTIGATION INTO KIDNAPPING SITES
>> ONLY GO IN GROUPS
>> AND I SWEAR TO GOD— BE CAREFUL
>> WE DONT KNOW WHAT WERE UP AGAINST

INFORMATION COORDINATION ACROSS FACTIONS
>> YOU MIGHT GET CONTACTED BY SOMEONE NAMED NATASHA
>> SHE'S HELPING ME OUT
>> DONT PISS HER OFF— IM WARNING YOU

REACHING OUT TO LOCAL AUTHORITIES / OFFICIALS TO SEE WHAT THEY KNOW AND WHAT THEY CAN OFFER
>> IM GONNA BE TALKING TO THE PM OF CADENS,
>> BUT PEOPLE IN SOLVUNN AND THORNE WILL NEED TO SHARE WHAT THEY LEARN

IF YOU HAVE ANY INFO ON ANY OF THIS, NOW IS THE TIME TO SPEAK UP
IF YOU WANT TO HELP, REACH OUT TO ME
IF YOU WANT TO ASK AFTER A FRIEND, WE’LL SEE WHAT WE CAN DO
THE ONLY WAY WE'RE GOING TO GET THIS FIGURED OUT IS TOGETHER

[ in other words….

AVENGERS, ASSEMBLE

and no, sorry nat, he’s not saying it aloud. ]

theidlemaiden

[ With the newly arrived Summoned quickly popping out of the desert like cactuses, an invitation is quickly dispatched to Summoned new and old alike. And while the invitation is all text much to Hilda's dismay, she's drafted up a couple of handmade copies in stunning calligraphy that she's thumbtacked to Sam's door for distribution to those that might miss her message otherwise.

And why yes, this was supposed to be an informal invitation but it's Hilda. Nothing she does is informal. But mostly it was to mess with Sam. ]

[ And then before the script fades away - she adds: ]

𝘈𝘭𝘴𝘰, 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱 𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘺, 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘶𝘴 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘴𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦 (𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘺 𝘚𝘢𝘮) 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶. 𝘞𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘦𝘦𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶!
