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?

Of course! Styx puts everything on lockdown pretty quickly and has their security on the lookout for nosy press or investigators, but there will be a few, shall we say, sources available to find some more info. (For instance Rau, above, is an employee who was interested in spilling the beans.)

We'll also provide you some other stuff if you like, if you give us a couple days to get some things together. What's Miller been looking into about the incident?

Miller's going to want to test the limits of Styx's security (but not too much) just to see what he can get away with. If there's a weakness (be it personnel or physical security), he's looking for it. As with his Widowmaker, he'll start with any publicly available information and dig down from there: operations, routines, partnerships, communications, any recent anomalies.

(and of course, take whatever time you need to get things together on the mod side of things ♥)

Hey, never ended up getting any specific details on this. With the June event happening, did Miller find out anything interesting from his investigation beyond what he's already pieced together by talking to people?

Terribly sorry, that was not "a few days" at all. Here you go:

- There are definite patterns in personnel moving between the locked-down chemical plant and other Styx facilities. Trucks, too, as though they were trying to move things out of the plant in a hurry.

- Persistent digging will link Styx personnel to several prominent local drug dealers. It seems that as far back as September, they were supplying local dealers with new and untested "product" to sell.

- There are also paper trails showing large payments made around the time of Project Widowmaker. These largely vanish into cash and it's unclear who they went to, but they are marked "contractors" in the ledger.

Very interesting! Thank you!
