ACTIVITY CHECK: MAY 2025


Ahoy, mateys! Here be the monthly Activity Check!

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

  • Discoveries about the missing ships and crews near the drowned island.
  • Discoveries about the Tara-Tam Deepcroft.
  • Results from current bounties.
  • Any results/discoveries from crew quests.
  • Any whales that were helped/treated in Baleen's Reach.
  • Any deep sea folk assisted.
  • Ideas/results/conclusions from discussions on how to bring Elah back.


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 May 1st through May 31st 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 Saturday, May 31st 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.


FORM: Fill out the following form and comment directly to this post. If you have multiple characters, please put them in one comment.

Player: Avie
Character: Sherlock Holmes | astudyinviolet
Proof: 05-03

Extra:
- Shadow and Sherlock have discovered some flowers that have a cooling effect around them. More treasure island discoveries likely to come
- Sherlock did attend the Paladins' Gala and slayed in his outfit, but he likely made people still wary of the Paladins because he was very suspicious of the people there and was not helping to install confidence at all
- No seriously, Sherry has issues with his own trust in Elah and the Paladins and that red-eyed entity, but that's a little different... ish
- Sherlock needs therapy
- and hugs

MANTA Board Posting: General
Reward: one bottle of their special rainbow ink

Stationery store Seal & Cant on Eltrut is run by a family of molekin who want to run a special for the month selling special color-changing rainbow ink. They need help gathering enough materials to make the ink and keep up with demand. While the exact recipe and process is kept a secret, those interested will get a list of ingredients and possible locations to find them. Most ingredients require digging in the ground for minerals, roots, and a few underground insects.

Player: Clover
Character: Kaveh | empyrean_mirror
Proof: 5/6

Extra: I was and remain very very sick but Kaveh did go down to try and help the whalefolk with their problems, as well as help build up the island sanctuary. He remains middling to neutral on bringing Elah back but has supported the idea of a funeral service for the slain whales, and would have further suggested a memorial constructed for them had I not, you know, expired.

[personal profile] indispensable 2025-05-29 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
Player: taso
Character: Alhaitham | indispensable
Proof: 14th May 2025

Extra: I tagged in the treasure log but completely forgot that we're supposed to find treasure so that will be... worked on..................... orz

EDITED TO ADD: RE: Elah - Alhaitham has no real opinions (he keeps himself distant from the happenings of this world in general) but he does kind of agree that Elah itself should decide what it wants. So basically what Kaveh is saying lmao.

Player: Chips
Character: Emet-Selch | [personal profile] emet_sulk
Proof: May 26

Extra:
- The Raiders crew helped resettle some boarfolk on their island. There was, understandably, some conflict between them and the native mers, but Emet hopes that they will learn to cooperate.
- His opinion on Elah's situation is that they should ask the leviathan what would suffice as penance (or similar) rather than making assumptions and potentially driving them further away.

[personal profile] wherethereislight 2025-05-29 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Player: Taisa
Character: Shadow | wherethereislight
Proof: 5/13

Extra:
- Shadow and Espio took down the mad alchemist and found various notes about creating the perfect being. There are likely other creations still loose in the world that the alchemist considered "near perfect", displaying varying intelligence, like the creation for No Sins Unpunished bounty that's capable of speech. Likely let loose so he could make observation of their behaviors and further perfect his next creation. May or may not be obedient to their "Father" and his death could bring a response from his remaining creations.
- Still threading it out, but Shadow and Arlecchino will eventually take out the dog creature from the No Sins Unpunished bounty.
-There's probably other stuff I'm missing and will update here if so. He went on many adventures this month ok.

Player: Laena
Character: Cid | ramuhs
Proof: 5/14

Extra: HE WAS A LITTLE MORE CHILL NEXT MONTH HE'LL HAVE REAL VACATION MAYBE??

  • Treasure Hunt Quest: The treasure hunt group along with the Hideaway crew went after that treasure map to a remote island that had a lot of weird weather stuff going on. Artifacts/relics were scattered all over the place that caused varying weather patterns, from constant rain to snow to sun to it's heckin wimby. The town provided clues to reveal that it used to be prosperous before something happened there, and the broken relics are related to it. WHAT COULD IT ALL MEAN...

    For Cid's part, he and Benedikta found a relic that created perpetual sunlight, and he also brought back goats to the Roost. He punched the leader, it was great.

  • Event: For the event, Cid and Benedikta played and sang to the whales, made lanterns, and then Cid is going to blow up a siren for trying to steal his wife—

Character: Sidestep | telepathicignorance
Proof: 5/22

Extra:
- Chris and Faulkner worked to catch the dog chimera so it could be taken somewhere for help.

- Chris hatched a plan with Ranma to scam the people offering the bounty on them. (And also possibly see if they can figure out identities and get them in trouble for being linked to the whole crystal business.)

Player: Sheila
Character: Tifa Lockhart | starshower
Proof: 5/18

Extra:
- Tifa turned into a cute little sea bunny and she and Eustace had to go and fetch ingredients for a potion to turn her back. On the way, they collected some sea glass.

Character: Benedikta Harman | garudas
Proof: 5/13

Extra:
- Benedikta went off to help with the Treasure Hunt group and had some trouble with goats. She and Cid found and brought back one of the small artifact fragments that could generate heat and sunlight. And they also brought back goats. Cid punched the leader, it was terrible.
- She and Cid also went down to Baleen's Reach and sang lullabies and played with the baby whales that they rescued from the island, and they made lanterns, and then Cid kicked a siren's ass.
- Benedikta also thinks that they should offer the heads up of any of the people that they can find who were part of the poaching/crystallizing. Even better if they're just barely alive—
