Field Mission 6: A Day in Thay, Part 1
![]()
![]() ![]() Ready or not, rested or not, it's time to get moving, Reclaimers. You've got a very, very long day ahead of you. And another one. And another one. And, you get the joke. Early Friday morning, with the Director there to see them off, the Reclaimers load up into the Bureau's transportation orbs for the sixth time since this whole ordeal began, and make their way to about a mile or two outside of Thay. It's important to try to stick to the story, at least — that you're all visitors from a faraway school, here to spend some time with the students and faculty of Boarbumps. As much as Lucretia would have liked to join you, she can't. None of the other leading members of the Bureau of Balance can. Whoever enters Thay, after all, is entering a bubble, after all. A time trap. Nobody will be able to leave until the Relic, the Lamp of Undoing, is either retrieved or destroyed. Someone needs to be able to continue if you all can't. 1. SEVEN O'CLOCK ALREADYAs we noted in the OOC post, prompts on this log will be a quick few sentences of specific things happening during each hour. It's expected that Reclaimers will be seeing all of these events multiple times! So feel free to play with them as you see fit. If you're not sure if something you want to do would warrant a roll, please ask us in the RNG thread. ![]() ○ The Reclaimers have arrived in Thay, much to the curiosity of the highly intelligent, occasionally highly ... suspicious ... residents. Nevertheless, they recognize you as visiting, esteemed students, and, though perhaps still suspicious, welcome you into their fold. Also, as a note: Every time the relic is used, time is reset to this moment. ![]() ○ Afternoon classes at Boarbumps begin, starting with a lecture on the magical circuits of the common toad. If you happen to sit in on this one, as a visitor from another school, you may be asked to assist in the dissection. You will be heckled by the rest of the class as deemed fit. ![]() ○ The second afternoon class at Boarbumps begins. Are you three or four time loops in and in desperate need of a nap? This class, The History of Boarbumps, is for you. You will be treated to a long and droning lecture about how the students attending during Boarbumps' very first semester banded together to stop a particularly plucky troll. Which you'd think would be an interesting tale. It is not. ![]() ○ The third and final afternoon class at Boarbumps — Fighting with Fire — begins. The professor, known to be slightly more unorthodox in her teaching methods, will recruit any Reclaimer who happens to be there to defend themselves from the students' incoming fireball spells. The potency of the fireballs themselves range from the tickle of a candle, to that one time you ate a ghost pepper, to one particularly fiery spell that might actually hurt you. ![]() ○ There's a slight catastrophe over in the Town Square. That is to say, a giant spider seems to have escaped from Boarbumps and is terrorizing the vendors, to everyone's surprise. Subdue or dispatch it, it's up to you. ![]() ○ Cleanup of whatever damage the spider did is underway. In the meantime, the faculty of Boarbumps and the Hermetic Order of Red Wizards invite the Reclaimers to a small dinner in one of the public meeting rooms at the Red Keep. Every member of the Red Wizards are present, aside from Onerion Wyvernspur and Brian Darling. ![]() ○ No matter where you are in Thay, you'll feel the ground rumble underneath your feet. The residents largely pass it off as an earthquake, but will note that they have become much more frequent lately. ![]() ○ With a sudden loud roar, the ground of the town square suddenly begins to split. People, shops, and everything else begin to drop into the chasm, despite the Red Wizards, and everyone else's, attempts to save them. 2. OOC: A SPECIAL SHOUTOUTYou are welcome to keep track of how your character experiences these time loops as much or as little as you're comfortable with — we'll also be tracking what you all are doing! Our Minato player Kel came up with some extremely snazzy coding if you would like to track how each loop plays out for your character more closely. Thank you, Kel! Of course, this is completely optional. Keep up with as much as you'd like, have fun as you see fit, and we hope you enjoy this mission! |

[ She swings her backpack off her back and onto the floor so she can stoop down and start rootling through it to find whatever it is she's talking about. ]
One of them's like, a magnifying glass but without a handle? So it's just the lens part. And when you look through it you can kinda see tracks and footprints and stuff – even if there's none actually on the floor, you can see where people've been walking– okay, here!
[ And with that, she fishes out her Lens of Straight Creepin' and holds it up for Ferran to see. ]
It's this thing. You can look through it and see if you want– [ But then she wrinkles up her nose. ] Uh, but would that count as trading items? I dunno!
no subject
This is incredibly useful... [He angles it to see where each set of footprints leads to the other, his voice low enough to keep from being overheard easily.] Tracking who's going where in each loop could be a huge benefit towards finding those involved with the resets. Or even just—in general. [He turns to her, glove handing the lens back carefully.] You think it's boring?
[Maybe he just likes to snoop on people.]
no subject
[ She's lazily juggling the lens between her hands as she says this, casually enough that you can probably tell this is generally how she usually handles it. If she's worried about dropping it, it doesn't show even slightly on her face. Attagirl, Honoka. ]
I just kinda feel like everyone else'd probably have a better use for it than me.
no subject
What makes you say that you're not good at it? [He's going to get back to that last statement in a minute, but first thing's first.]
no subject
[ The updrift of her tone makes this sound more like a question than a confident statement – it's pretty clear she wasn't expecting to be asked for clarification on that and she doesn't quite have an answer prepared. Honoka's happy to take it for granted that she's bad at something, so why not Ferran? ]
I guess I've never really tried it, but I'm not really good at the little details, y'know? I figure I'd just get all turned around and lost trying to work out where everything leads to and I'd just waste a whole bunch of time.
no subject
You'll never know until you try, but even then, everything takes practice. Just like magic, or music. You spent a lot of time and work getting to the level you are now with those, right?
no subject
[ She sounds pretty chirpy about it, though... ]
Maybe I should give it a shot, though... who knows, I guess! Maybe it'll end up being the thing we need to crack the case! But probably not, huh?
no subject
his methods with Kaede didn't exactly work out but let's not talk about that, ahem]It's worth a try. And even if I don't know much about tracking myself, I can try to be your new drill sergeant, if you want. [He winks playfully, because that's just what he does. I'm sorry.]
no subject
You really think you could be scarier than Umi-chan, huh?
[ Staaaaaare. She looks pretty serious, but it's also transparent as anything that she's just goofing. ]
I don't buy it!
