The Arrow of Their Ways

[BlackJack]

1. Friscii Dynamics is always looking for people to test their newest gadgets. This gadget is the Friscii Modular Arrowheads. Eira Baldr and Claire Na'amro will go to one of their testing sites in a remote area on Dantooine there they will meet with a scientist who will give them the arrows to be used for testing. It will quickly become apparent as the two find bodies of previous test subjects that the scientist has gone mad. Falling in love with the testing Virtual Inteligence they believe that only a perfect run of the test will make the VI love them back. So Eira and Claire must either get that perfect run or otherwise escape from the testing area.

2. Me and @Claire Na'amro with @Nefieslab as DM

3. Dantooine

4. Thread 1 [Ask] - Claire and Eira meet the doctor on Dantooine and tour the outdoor facility ringed with electric fences and automatic defenses to keep out wildlife. They are told what the test entails and equipped.

Thread 2 [DM Opposition]- The trial begins where the arrows have to be used quickly effectively and creatively to overcome obstacles. The pair has to overcome all obstacles and reach the end in five posts each or start over until they have a perfect run, kill the scientist, or escape.

Thread 3 [DM] - Still in Remote Dantooine the pair must find their way to a settlement while dodging hostile fauna using their new weapons

Thread 4 [Ask] - Safe and sound they contact Friscii Dynamics and tell them of what transpired no doubt getting a generous reward for their cleverness and to keep their mouths shut.

5. Getting these for each of the participating characters.

6. No

Hey there, @BlackJack. Another unsurprisingly sweet plot you have here!

However, you're going to have to clarify which types of arrows you'll be receiving and how many of each. Four threads, with two DM'd, may seem like not much if we're talking a sack of these various arrows for each character.

Of course, seeing as you've requested to downgrade the tech submitted as not advanced, I suppose we can wait until a response and proper review is given.

Thanks!

p.s. lmfao the submission title tho. just noticed. 10/10

Friscii Modular Arrowheads are just that. They are arrowheads. Each arrow described is a recipe made of various ingredients added to the empty vessel atop the arrow. Frost arrows are made of chilled water, smoke arrows from any bits of charred wood or soot, shock arrows from a copper wire.

It would be hard to imagine doing multiple plots to refill on these everytime Eira gets into pvp. Such ammo management is requested for no other tech on the site and seems unfair.

I'm willing to expand the scope of the plot considerably but I was hoping to gain an indefinite supply of these arrow heads for both characters while detailing them gathering the ingredients for the various uses within plots and threads they are used in.

One of the reasons I requested the downgrade is because the tech itself is a metal cylinder placed on top of an arrow. How high tech can that be.

Edit: not trying to sound defensive or angry just trying to clarify if such a large scale effort would even be worth it when getting any other advanced weapon would be a better investment of time.

Edit2: I think I'm still coming off mean. What changes do I need to make ya think?

Chill, man. I understand.

After discussing with other members of staff, and in particular, tech god @AutoFox, an indefinite supply of these arrows can be earned from the following plot if you "have demonstrated the ability to make them yourself." However, as I'm sure he will mention later, you can only lug ten of those various arrowheads in each single thread— maximum, as they will remain advanced tech and cannot suddenly materialize much like basic blaster ammunition.

Hope that clarifies the issue.

Still, of course, I would recommend expanding the submission. If only to be sure.

Without further ado, this submission is approved!
