player plot: the warden of the wind 🌪️

[garudas]

Hello fellow riftfarers! I come bearing... a player plot!

In the late morning of the 4th of May, storm clouds and dark skies will loom over Nogard, Eltrut, and other nearby islands, and the winds will be stronger than what can be considered even remotely normal. Strong enough that it can tear the land off the leviathan's backs, rip apart ships and carry them away, and create dangerous riptides. This is all because Benedikta Harman has primed into the full might of her Eikon, the winged harpy, Garuda. Her only goal is to wreak havoc, strike fear in anyone who might encounter her, and destroy everything in her path.

Nogard, Eltrut, and surrounding areas will be affected the most, though it is possible for her magic to spread further. As for what people can look forward to on the day of:

ACTIVITY CHECK: APRIL 2024

Ahoy, mateys! Here be the monthly Activity Check!

In the Extra Notes section, please note the following, as well as anything else worth noting:

• What characters did with the alchemist and succubi
  
• What energy was absorbed with Kaveh's butterflies
  
• Any discoveries about the stolen lockbox in The Game's Afoot
  
• How many turtles saved during First Tides
  
• Helping the Gatorcrocs

Please check our Activity Check guidelines on our Game Info page for complete details, but here is the quick list of what you need to know:

» Only threads dated from April 1st through April 30th count towards the month's activity. (With the exception of certain backdated threads, read the linked AC guidelines for more details.)

» Activity requires one thread of at least 5 comments. The comment count is from your character.

» Any thread counts, including those made within your own entries and subthreads within your own toplevels. Individual entry posts do not count, only the threads within the posts. TDM threads with non-game characters will count.

» Continuation threads are considered as part of the previous thread so they count as one thread not two. For the sake of ease, we would like the two threads linked together.

» You are exempt from any checks for hiatuses that last for over 21 days. Anything less and you'll still need to submit your AC unless there are other circumstances.

» Because we are a capped game, there is no strike system. If you do not make the AC requirements, you will be cut.

» Bonus AC points: All extra non-quest threads not used for AC will be worth 2 extra points that can be used for reward redemption. Please check our Rewards page for more details.

There will be no warnings. All submissions are due Tuesday, April 30th 11:59PM US Eastern.

EXTRA FIELDS: This is not required and completely optional, but included in the submission form are two optional fields: Extra and MANTA Board Posting.

For the Extra field, this is just a space for players to note anything that occurred in their threads that they think might be fun for us to know. So if something particularly interesting happened (for example: discovering a new creature or location, an old artifact, or perhaps a character has stolen something), we highly encourage players to jot them down! Who knows, we may even find a use for it… In addition, we may ask players to submit certain activity related to an event.

You may also submit MANTA board requests to be included in the upcoming board. We will try to add them immediately, otherwise we'll save them for the next Board or a time we deem fitting. If you don't have one in mind at the time of AC, you can post it later to the upcoming Captain's Log announcement.

If you have any questions, ask them here.
