Plotting

[neonmods]

This page is your one-stop shop to pitch ideas to the mods, propose an event, or ask questions about things you’d like to do in the game. Every plot post will also have a Q&A section for this same purpose, but this one’s more for your general ideas and permission.

NPCs and factions, monsters, and locations can be suggested on their respective pages. Feel free to ask questions here, but we may send you to the page proper to officially submit it.

As a refresher, we’d like to be consulted for the following types of plots:

✧ Giving your character a prestigious, influential, or extremely privileged job

✧ Working for City Hall in any capacity

✧ Plots that would impact other players/large portions of the setting

✧ Plots that would damage or destroy public locations

✧ Interactions with major mod NPCs

✧ Killing any NPCs

✧ Plots that attempt to bend setting mechanics (taming a monster, leaving the boundaries of the map, experimenting magically with Shadows, etc - these are not forbidden but we’d like to know what you’re doing so we can give you some results)

If you’re unsure or just want to hash something out with us, go ahead and drop us a line!

So, what can we do for you?

The message is received some days later. He gives no response to it and he does not make to immediately leave to fetch whatever item they ask of him. Their chore would be done, yes, but he would not be doing it personally in favor of playing his cards carefully.

Instead, he stands up from the pew and slips into one of the chambers in the Cathedral that is meant for prayer or quiet reflection. Emet-Selch closes the door behind him and begins to concentrate on conjuring a creature that would do his bidding. An ominous being. A beast of pure dread. A shadowy creature with dark fur, black eyes, and deft hands. As it's final visage solidifies it reveals the form of.....a racoon.

After all, who would look twice if they found a rodent where they shouldn't be?

He opens the door and lets the little fiend waddle out of the room so it can make its way to the target, where it would use those fiendish little hands to get inside the mailbox and fish for whatever it is they wanted and deliver it all the same. Emet-Selch will remain in the room and work on concentrating to control the little familiar. It's normally an easy task but requires quite a bit more concentration in this world. Luckily, concentration appears tantamount to reflection. Or prayer.

Oh, a nice touch!

There might be a few close calls with things interrupting or mildly imperiling the little raccoon, but with Emet-Selch's guidance it should be able to make the delivery without too much trouble.

He'll receive another few simple tasks like that over his NeoNet device. If successfully completed he'll at last receive another anonymous message:

Clever trick with the little beast. Perhaps you'd like to take up more profitable pursuits with it.

The message he "finally" sends in return would say something to the effect of being willing to entertain the idea. The message is kept exceedingly brief, so there remains an implication in his words that he needs more details on the matter.

Sorry for the holdup!

The details do not come perhaps as filled-in as Emet-Selch might hope. After a delay there is another reply some days later:

You discreetly run these little errands for me. I pay you a cut of the profits. Together, we make beautiful music.
