I GOT A PICK FROM NICHOLAUS AT THE HIVES CONCERT GUYS AHHHH

Plot Drop 001: And Icarus Fell

THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER....

My most dear puppets, I regret to inform you that something terrible has happened in our humble home. The night of the late Orator’s funeral, our Fae and Wizard absconded into the night and dared to cross into the Otherrealm of the faeries. Sweet Nora was none the wiser to her part as accomplice in such a treasonous action. You should never trust a traitor, young Wizard, especially when you do not know what actions they have committed to cause an exile such as this.

Time is nearly impossible to tell in the realm of the faeries, so how long they wandered before it all began is anyone’s guess. If only they had known off in the distance the bells were ringing, indicating a violation of parole. The Queen’s Guards were swiftly upon them after that.

It was truly the fact that Nora was human (no matter how powered she may be) that saved her from imprisonment. The Queen called across the border to the young woman’s circle leader, Thaddeus, and threw the thin veil came forth Karlha, called upon to honor assistance to the Wizard after saving her from a terrible night of drinking. It was an unfair trade but the Night Candidate seemed unbothered to both leave Esmeray to rot and free Nora.

They were pulled apart quickly and Nora watched as the young faery raised her head in reverence (or perhaps a mock showing of it) and said, “I await my punishment, my Queen.”

I tell you, my most enthralling creatures, how beautiful it was to see that Wizard fight for her friend. How terrible spells can be though when cast in unknown lands - how heavy those consequences must weigh upon her brow. On her way out though, she was able to snag a small trinket; a fitting gift, and the last she would ever have, as Cerese, as part of her punishment in crossing borders without approval, banned her from ever returning, even if it meant aiding Esmeray.

And now we come to a cross roads. On one side sits the Wizard, unable to return, unable to help her friend. On the other the Fae, unable to return, unable to help herself.

But, perhaps, you could. Nora collects those she trusts or those who may be willing to aide in the young faery’s retrieval from the Otherrealm. Her sentencing will be taking place soon and you know neither why it is as extreme as it is nor how you are supposed to interfere.

If you don’t, well, I suppose a headless faery can be just as good company.

THE FATES ARE CRUEL AND UNKIND....

When asked to roll to see if they arrived safely in the land of the faeries:

Esmeray rolled.....9 (mixed success): She was able to enter, however alarms bells were tripped.

Nora rolled......10 (complete success): She was able to enter undetected and unbothered.

When asked to roll to see if they could leave successfully:

Esmeray rolled.....5 (complete failure): She was captured by the Queen’s Guard with no hesitation.

Nora rolled......3 (complete failure): She was captured by the Queen’s Guard with no hesitation.

Friend of the past came to aide:

Nora called for help (complete success); The vampires and Karlha were called and saved her from being stuck in the faery realm, with the stipulation that she could never return.

When asked to roll to see if they procured anything of use:

Esmeray rolled.....4 (complete failure): She saw nothing of use and was forced to endure her fate.

Nora rolled......7 (mixed success): She was able to grab something of use, but at a terrible price.

IMPLICATIONS FOR THE GAME....

Esmeray, the Fae, has been captured by the High Court and is being held prisoner until her trial in TWO DAYS time. You must work together (or not, should you find yourself caring less) to help save her lest the Queen shout off with her head. You must:

Find a way to the realm of the fae

Figure out what exactly Esmeray did to deserve such a harsh punishment

Make a compelling argument to Queen Cerese Fiala as to why she should be spared

Any threads occurring from the running event are free to take place and be finished, but please note, no muses would know about what occurred until the following day November 4th.

This is a plot drop! While other actions in game effect how our story may progress these drops are the biggest way to influence the future of the Midnight Underground. One wrong move could send you, and everyone else around you, spiraling towards certain death.

THERE WILL BE ROLLING! Due to the important nature of this plot drop, any interactions with NPCs regarding Esmeray’s trial, as well as the trial itself, will result in having to roll. Esmeray’s fate is laid directly in your hands. Should you fail, the consequences for her could be extreme.

My most cherished angels, I live to revel in the horrors unfolding. As my darling always says you are such thrilling entertainment. Try not to get our girl beheaded like my dear Anne Boleyn, won’t you?

Sincerely,
