The Call To Battle

[SovietFrog]

1. What is going to happen in your plot? A group of Exiles, and hired/friendly Independent players, will be answering the call by the warlords to prepare for an assault on the Jedi Library on Ossus. They will begin on Nar Shaddaa before moving to Desevro.

2. What other players will be a part of this? Currently, blstrgmr, Incubus, possibly Handyman, Zil, TurtleHammer, Painus, and Topher Ridge. As seen in this link with their characters listed in the first post- Call to Battle

3. Where are all the places (if more than one) that your plot will be taking place? Nar Shaddaa and Desevro.

4. Please provide a basic in-character timeline of what you expect to happen. Team will assemble on Nar Shaddaa for phase one, attempting to recruit both PC indies and a npc mercenary Company. After which the team will move onto phase two and attempt to buy a large amount of explosives from the Hutts (may require a Hutt NPC or player of one volunteers), the negotiations go sour and both sides fight each other for the explosives. Finally the climax is reached as the team arrive on Desevro and begin a three phase plot to capture a Republic troop lander. (More details in link provided in section two)

5. What do you or your character hope to achieve with this plot? What is the "end-game"? The end-game is to secure footsoldiers to enhance the Exile attacking force on Ossus when the time comes to attack, secure enough explosives to level the library of need be as well as any physical obstacles the Jedi may put in their way during the attack, and most importantly (hence the three threads) to secure a shuttle that could allow a spearhead force to land among and surprise the Jedi defenses, giving them a chance to clear a path for the main assaulting force to land safely and begin attacking near to the Library.

6. Do you need any involvement of canon NPCs or faction leaders to be DMed by a staff member? If so, please detail who/what and for what purpose. Yes, a NPC Commander for the mercenaries the team will attempt to convince and enlist in phase one and an NPC Hutt character to oversee the double-cross during the attempt to buy explosives.

I dont believe the objective of A Call to Battle was to destroy the Great Library @SovietFrog

 

[SovietFrog]

Ah, sorry, didn’t think we were looking to permanently hold the library. Figured it was more just a raid to kill all the Jedi and steal everything not bolted down. Nevertheless I would imagine there are large doors that can’t just be forced open and other obstacles that can be removed with enough high explosives. So if you’d prefer I can edit phase 2 to fit that and not mention destruction.

Sorry, know you all are busy considering yesterday was Christmas. But were there any changes you guys wanted made to the plot or any other questions or concerns?

We are reviewing it. I will make edits to this post later this afternoon with comments. (@SovietFrog)

Hey @SovietFrog just a couple of quick comments that need to be addressed.

• We need to make sure that it is crystal clear that the goal is not to destroy the Library on Ossus but rather to capture the Library. You would not be able to obtain enough explosives to destroy the Library. It would be too expensive and impractical at this stage. You could obtain enough explosives to breach the Library but not destroy it.
• The plot overall seems like a bit much for the number of threads. My suggestion is to focus on one element of the plot or the other. Either, focus on getting the soldiers and really focus on that or focus on getting the explosives and really focus on that. Getting the transport can be incorporated into either focus. Your choice on what the focus is.
• One of the plot moderators will DM the NPC Commander or the Hutt Vigo. Depending on which thing you choose to focus on.

Tag me when you have address the concerns above.

1. This is crystal clear, as such I've removed any reference to destroying the library in the plot itself (if I missed any references then that is my mistake).

2. Focus is placed on obtaining cannon fodder foot-soldiers, removed reference to explosives and instead is a task to finish the current job of the mercenary company.

3. Awesome, thank you.

With the understanding that the focus is on gathering troops, the plot is approved.

Please let us know when a DM is needed.
