COTERIE INTERACTIONS (IC) - CHAPTER I


COTERIE INTERACTIONS



The leader of each coterie, all colloquially known by the same name as their group—Jaguar, Eagle, Viper, and Salamander—will play a major role in the story, oftentimes appearing in events and even, during major plots, accompanying the player characters on their quests. While having constant access to them in threads would be difficult to keep track of and may lead to unfair advantages for some characters, and they will never directly comment to any network or log posts made in [community profile] incensed or [community profile] incenselogs, we do want to offer the opportunity for characters to interact with them. Therefore, with the exception of the aforementioned event posts where the NPCs might appear, all direct interactions with the coterie leaders can be done here. Simply comment below with the leader you'd like to interact with and whether it is in person or via medallion/journal in the subject line.

Note that it is fine to handwave minor interactions with the NPCs, such as in the case of exposition or receiving their quest orders, and you do not need to thread that out here nor ask permission from the mods. Relationships beyond passing familiarity as leader/subordinate cannot be handwaved however—in general, characters will not "build CR" with their leader to the degree they might with other characters in the game. They will still get to know them well over the course of the story, though.

Please also note that the NPCs are played by the mod team and are subject to the same tagging speed or question-answering expectations. We will respond as soon as we can!

Honestly, that was just the sort of bedside manner I needed at the time. I did have it coming anyway seeing as I did try to bite and it had jostled me enough to let the others wrangle me the way they had to. I'll ask around the lodge for them - I think I've met Xoco before. Short, usually wears their hair in a braid and a scar over their nose? Volk mentioned this Dariel once or twice too, so if the two of you trust them then I will too.

Fortunate, is one way of putting it given how it felt. That aside, I'm also honored that you were willing to trust yourself and me enough to try it. I know it isn't an easy thing to do.

I'll speak to Law and Dohalim about it once things settle down a bit. If either of them refuse, we wait, and see if we can't figure out a Plan B to get to the bottom of it.
