the_lioness | OOC: Plot Tracking

Plot posts covering the end of Wild Magic will be linked here, for organization and possible summary purposes. Mostly in chronological order. I will adjust and add links to bar posts as soon as they are available.

1) Raph and Abigail journey to Pirate's Swoop. [FINISHED] [POSTED]

2) Alanna EP: Campsite, after explaining why they aren't at war to the trainees.

3) First glimpse of the sea. Thayet OOM. Daine vs. Sea lion. [FINISHED] [POSTED]

4) Thayet EP: Rain keeps the Riders from moving out.

5) The rules of engagement shift: Alanna OOM. The deer, the rabbit, saving Daine, and sensing Stormwings. [FINISHED] [POSTED]

6) Buzzard Rocks. Alanna and Thayet OOM. The griffins. Daine is kinda scary, yo. [FINISHED] [POSTED]

7) Alanna in the bar. The Riders have arrived at Pirate's Swoop. Necklace given to Grace, conversation with Daine has happened. WEST IS DEAD! Plots intersect, oh my.

7A) At least the murder is distracting?

8) Raph and Abigail arrive at the Swoop: Thayet, Alanna, kids greet them. [FINISHED] [POSTED]

9) Alanna-Raph. The day after Raph & Abigail arrive, the Stormwings
hovering off the coast disappear. The mages scry, Daine listens.
Nada. [FINISHED] [POSTED]

~~A WEEK PASSES~~ MORE THAN A WEEK (the approx. amount of time it takes to finish the final thread, to be more precise)PASSES. Mention is made of Scanran Wolf Boats attacking the
North, and most of the Navy heading that way to deal with it. At this
point, Alanna is going to become both restless and very concerned.
Which leads to:

10) Alanna Bar EP: She talks to X, makes good on earlier offer
to bring her to Pirate's Swoop. She'll want X's unique take on the
situation.

11) X-at-the-Swoop thread. Kids, Thayet, anyone else. [FINISHED] [POSTED]

12) Alanna-X-the kids: A messenger comes, calling for the Lioness.
Three ogres have attacked Fief Mandash, killing the Lord and his son,
and have the rest of the family trapped. She is the closest king's
rep and has to leave. X goes with! [FINISHED] [POSTED]

~~13) Raph-Abigail-kids, post Alanna leaving.~~

14) Thayet OOM: Raph-Thayet-Abigail-George-Adam-Numair, etc. are in
George's study. Daine and Sarge show up with bats. Yes, bats. The
bats have told Daine the castle has been surrounded during the night
by 600 men. Thayet goes to help wake the villagers, get them inside
the castle. Numair gets word to Jon. [FINISHED] [POSTED]

15) Raoul-Jon?

16) Siege thread the First: The next morning, the situation looks
bad. An unnatural fog rolls in at daybreak, the Raiders hit the
village and there's magic in the air, dampening spells that hinder use
of the Gift. Thayet would lead off here, overhearing Daine's
conversation with Numair about how they lured Alanna off and knew the
queen and two heirs were in residence. Then Daine senses a Stormwing.
The fog disappears and the sun illuminates a fleet of ships in the
cove, complete with catapults and mages. The Stormwing delivers the
terms: hand over the queen and the kids, etc etc. George rips them
up. The mages blast more Stormwings into existence. They attack.
Raiders attack. [FINISHED] [POSTED.]

17) Siege thread the Second: They get a bit of a break. Then the
huge dragon the mages mistakenly pulled through with the Stormwings
shows up. Thread ends at end of Chapter 9, after Daine talks to the
dragon. [Combined with #16, FINISHED] [POSTED.]

18) Alanna-X: MEANWHILE, Alanna and X fight off the ogres. They
keep them busy for about a day. Not long thereafter, they discover a
small army has been moved into place, keeping them from getting home.
TRAP! As they are getting a sense for how big it is, etc, Hakim and
two companies of the King's Own (Raoul!) meet up with them. At which point Alanna hands over
Darkmoon, points to X's security badge while grabbing her own, and
heads back to Milliways. [FINISHED] [POSTED.]

19) Alanna-Jon. Through the fire talky talky thing. Yes. Technical term. [FINISHED] [POSTED.]

20) Raph-Abigail-kids. And Daine-George? Infirmary, followed by lowering
Daine down to sea level so she can go get her Wild Magic on and
convince the whales to capsize ships. At this point, she's already
had the smaller animals messing up the enemy camps -- letting the
horses loose, picking apart weapons, destroying supplies. [FINISHED] [POSTED]

21) Bar EP from Alanna and X: Basically this is going to be them
using the badges as a quick way to get back to Pirate's Swoop, but
Alanna will grab anyone she trusts to come fight with them. [MAX, JACK SPARROW]

22) Siege thread the Third: Morning. The dragon brings Daine back.
Alanna, X, Goldy and others show up. Alanna + Numair = no more
dampening spells. But there's the evil Stormwing Queen! Things look
bad, until the dragon starts destroying catapults, sinking ships,
taking revenge on the mages. [FINISHED]

And then...

THE KRAKEN ARRIVES.

And proceeds to win the day. See, Daine had no luck with the whales,
but managed to convince the kraken to indulge its love of wrecking
ships. As you do.

Elsewhere, to the front of the castle, Alanna, etc fight the Raiders
and remaining Stormwings. They crush them when the Own arrive on the
other side.

Alanna also gets rid of the kraken, somehow.

24) Drunken shenanigans. OOM of anyone who wants a happy-yay-we-aren't-dead thread: After
they find the dragon's baby, Skysong.

25) Goldy-Abigail. Because Raph promised.
