Great Frozen Fields Expedition of 2016

[Jade Harley]

Welcome, to the Great Frozen Fields Expedition of 2016! *cue theme music*

Overview

So, a little while ago I made a Story Request that would involve Jade and a few others gallivanting off into the Frozen Fields to have loads of excellent snow adventures! But, there were several suggestions about what we could do, and so I’ve opened up a discussion thread for selecting one.

Just to be clear, here are the details:


LIST OF PEOPLE:
- Jade Harley.
- Solomon Grundy.
- Tartaros.
- Gamzee Makara.
- Proto Man.

Time limit: You have 3 days to post after calling.
Word count: No set word count. This is just for fun.
Participants: 7.

CALL SYSTEM IS NOW IN EFFECT. YAAAY.

Information on the Frozen Fields may be found here.

!!!!!!PLEASE NOTE!!!!!! No new adventurers may join the thread without clear permission! Thank you!

Story Ideas

The original plan was this:

Give me an Indiana Jones-style adventure ( AKA, action + random object of some historical / supernatural importance ) in the Frozen Fields with whacky puzzle shenanigans and fun backpacking times all around for maybe 2+ people.  :frogbon:

This general idea would mesh well with what Thaal offered to do, which was this:

Like Adam said! I would be able to just give situations and reactions from the world for you to respond to, actively as the story goes on! You'd sort if be writing your way through a mystery and an adventure as you go, instead of formulating the whole story at the beginning and then writing it.

You guys would do stuff, and when you were ready to move on, I'd give you a new prompt or situation. I'd control some NPCs and stuff, do the scenery, describe what's going on, then you'd reply. Make sense?

I'd be happy to brainstorm some ideas OR use the Storyteller to DM story for you

And this all seems pretty excellent to me! There wouldn't even need to be any pressure on the Storyteller to keep giving us any prompts, since we're really in no hurry. I think the above option would be super exciting, but this is a group thread and I'd like for everyone to share their thoughts!

I also liked Sasuke’s idea, which went like this:

While traversing the zone, your character comes across scene of distraught dwarves who appear to have just survived battle. After conversing with these dwarves you find that they are on an expedition to excavate mysterious ruins to the north, but that their party (And leader) got separated when they touched an artefact and an Ice banshee/spirit sprang out to attack them.

Even worse, they go on to explain that it wasn’t even the artifact they were looking for! A high born dwarven princess (not THE princess, but another one xD) has been cursed (Any curse will work. Deaf, blind, sleeping beauty, you name it.) by a local witch doctor (Could be Troll) and no prime as of yet, have been able to break the curse. Their employer believes the ruins to contain an artifact that would work as a cure all for the princess, as there are many rumors about a mysterious ice ruins that appear every couple of years in the frozen fields, filled with powerful artifacts, and they believe this to be that very one.

Once your character decides to help them, they could come into such conflict as a rival expedition group in the form of trolls who cause problems for your group. Obvious traps like snake pits, and surprise arrow volleys. Also, got to kill that ice banshee who caused all the problems.

Perhaps the original dwarf leader has become an undead and your group must slay him, only their leader was a badass in life as he is now in death.

Fill free to take from/mold this into anything you like, but some suggestions to get you thinking. Hope you like! ^_^

This one was sort of specific but not specific enough to be restrictive, so it would make for an interesting story!

I was thinking, though, that maybe instead of an ice banshee and a witch doctor, we have a Horrorterror chilling out in the snowy clouds of the Frozen Fields fiddling with the dwarves and trolls’ lives, imperceptible in all its grimlight and tangled glory. It could be sort of like Feferi’s lusus Gl'bgolyb, only totally grimlight and seeping acidic brightness. An “outer fucking god the size of a city”, and we get to kill it. Of course, I’ll most likely need to write up an NPC thing for it, and this is all just a big 'maybe'.

Anyways, now we can start discussing ideas! I know Adam mentioned that he miiiiight have some a while back, and my ideas are a little bit weird, so tell me what you think! We don’t exactly have to have a plan yet, though it would be nice to have one. This thread will be very organic and subject to change, so let your creative juices run free!

[Tearen Wover]

Yeah. Rebecca will tag along. Whether I write anything for her is a matter of opportunity.

[Zack Fair]

I've wanted to venture into the Frozen Fields ever since Nealaphh talked about ice volcanoes in the chatbox months ago. Not sure who I'm sending yet, but it'll be some sort of secondary and I'll have it figured out soonish.

[Jade Harley]

[The Rogue]

You know after Connor set up his island base I was gonna have him snow board in the Frozen Fields

[Harlan Higgs]

GRUNDY CAN'T WAIT TO CRUSH ICE. FOR SNOWCONES.

[Moon]

Jason Sysake, a secondary of mine, is on his way over there, with Jupiter maybe following.

[Tartaros]

I'm up for something, not like I got anything to really do IC anyway.

[Erik Vrell]

I'll probably send in Invoker down there if he's approved in time.

[Roger Smith]

Cannot recall if I mentioned as much for but very much interest. Don't really have plans for much else for Adam at the moment now that colosseum is over and done with.

[Dean Winchester]

Mmaaaayybbeee?

I mean it would probably be good to get Dean out and about and meeting new people, but he is not really the plays well with others type.


Though, maybe? I have to wait to see what happens with L&W first.

[Orihime Inoue]

Orihime is already in the frozen fields so I can participate if you want.

[Jade Harley]

It's not really if I want you to, it's if you want to. If you were interested I would gladly let you on board the expedition!

[Orihime Inoue]

Ok well this will be the first time writing with a group so I am up for the adventure.

[Ruby Rose]

Will be sending a secondary of mine in (on my Lubbock account) but I'm still busy figuring out what exactly I want to do with it.

[Claptrap]

Just wondering, when should Invoker meet up with the rest of the group. He is currently in Camelot.

[Moon]

Yup. We're both here. Count us in.

[Jade Harley]

Just wondering, when should Invoker meet up with the rest of the group. He is currently in Camelot.

Most of us are in Camelot currently in this thread. I'm going to try to move into the Nexus in my next two posts, probably!

[Claptrap]

Is it alright for me to post in that thread. I don't want to intrude or anything

[Jade Harley]

Is it alright for me to post in that thread. I don't want to intrude or anything

It's totally alright!
