This thread is specifically for the storyline and "scripts"/plans. This is where we decide on the next moves and such.
An army of Centaurs is moving on Lyrean. Their goal is to take our land. They will begin by setting up an encampment just outside Lyrean, and attacks will soon follow.
During the initial battles, their Queen will likely be killed, turning the operation into a full scale war.
Various tasks will be given to the players that will constitute winning battles, and clues will be left on the forum and in various in game chat areas, throughout the event.
The story's progress will be kept current in the Storyline Forum. We still need to make sure we know who will be responsible for that. The responsibilities can be shared.
Many of the clues provided (players will still have to work to find them!) will have to do with the various NPC's weak points. So we can work toward, for instance, someone figuring out that they should get Romado drunk.. The clues will likely be in the form of combination of riddles and scavenger hunts. (riddles to find the clues themselves.. which will be in various different in game chat areas, generally.)

Soloman, Felidar and Romando have all been "introduced" so far. Hardly any interaction has been done.
I want to put something in one of the more obscure chat areas about how many troops there actually are in the camp.. A clue for very enterprising players to try and find. Soooo.. I need to know how big the army is meant to be.

It's pretty normal, it's not too big, but enough to put up a strong fight

Ummm, I don't really have a game plan... I have:1. Introduce all characters a few at a time except Mei and Gorian. 2. Gorian enters with troops and says something about "You can surrender your lands, or you can die." 3. Lyrean people say "We won't surrender." 4. Gorian says "You have until dawn, then, you die." 5. War begins. Yay! 6. Somehow Mei gets killed 7. Centaurs get very angry 8. Centaurs die!!!!

I guess we should wait for a while to introduce the queen. I think maybe she should be someone who comes in only a few times, her biggest two RPs can be where she is "introduced" and when she is killed.
Speaking of which, has anyone decided how the queen will die yet?

Historically, she seems to do best when she is NEEDED.. Especially in terms of protecting others, so this should knock her out of her recent trends.

I feel that not ALL of the centaurs should die. I really think the Prince should survive in order to lead his people elsewhere, and know not to attack Lyrean again. Or if they do, they have a reason.

Well, when we are introducing main characters, except Gorian and Mei, make sure they don't say much, they are mainly there to look. They aren't hostile, but they still look intimidating. Make sure they stay calm, and controlled until the war starts, when they become the soldiers they have been trained to be. The first time Mei is introduced will probably be before they announce the start of the war. She walks in, and she can probably adress the people of Lyrean about what they want (land). And all the centaurs never call her Mei, the call her 'the Queen' 'the Keiysha' or to Solomon 'your Mother'. I think that's pretty much it for now, do you think we need another person to help with the NPCs, or not? I have an idea if we do.
