Khu Ioduan Log Community

Characters: Anyone and everyone
Date: May 10 - 30
Location: Cape Averi, Bejichi Town, Mas'Inge River Basin, and Sulhat Maf
Situation: The manhunt for Chihuelan insurgents begins in earnest and across the archipelago - but more mysteries than enemy intruders are at hand.
Warnings/Rating: Combat violence, death, illegal drugs, body horror, monstrosities and significant skulduggery.



In the early morning hours after the incident at the docks, Sentry and Alliance officials make an announcement confirming that there are Chihuelan insurgents in the archipelago and a massive manhunt is being organized. Unfortunately, no one knows exactly how many Chihuelans have slipped into the archipelago. More concerning still is the possibility that these people are not themselves Chihuelan, but are allies and sympathizers. The port is shut down except for Sentry use, as is the trading port of Bejichi Town. Quite suddenly, people in Aifaran do not know who they can trust.

Owing to the assistance Dreamfolk have recently provided investigating certain incidents, and due to the… insatiable curiosity many of them display, the Sentry would rather coordinate efforts than be at odds with them. Search teams will be dispatched to several nearby settlements along the coast, including Cape Averi and Bejichi Town. Others will be directed inland and towards the mountains, where vulnerable areas have been identified.

Dreamfolk willing to participate in the search will be briefed on where the Chihuelans are suspected to be fleeing to and given a choice of location to pursue. A grave-looking member of the Aisling Tower will join the briefing to inform everyone that while the Chihuelans' military technology gives them a significant advantage, they are also suspected to be utilizing some kind of planar magic. Exactly what and how, no one knows - only that their appearance and the recent incidents around Aifaran are potentially correlated.

The goal is to capture the Chihuelans and anyone who may be helping them - the use of deadly force is permitted only if there are no other options. Bringing them back alive could be the key to avoiding an all-out war.

OOC Notes: For most of the encounters, the characters must choose as a group (i.e. the group cannot fight the Chihuelan ambush to Sulhat Maf and also retreat from it), but outside of combat the characters may split up and explore on their own. Please remember characters do not have all the OOC info available here when considering their options.

The choices characters make will have an impact on the information and events moving forward. Mods may also intermittently tag into threads as we see fit to provide additional information or necessary response to queries. Please use thiscomment in the OOC post for questions.

Characters: Open
Date: April 8th - 28th
Location: Aifaran
Situation: The mysterious ships emit mysterious toots
Warnings/Rating: Strange noises may cause headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. Please consult your doctor should you experience any of these side effects.



After the arches arose from the decks of the two strange ships in the harbor last month, they've been quiet, exhibiting no other odd behavior, until suddenly on the morning of April 8th, they let out a low noise, at the very bottom edge of human hearing. Those with more sensitive ears like Arybar can hear it halfway across the city. The noise - a low, reverberating tone - lasts for one minute. Twelve hours later, it happens again, for another minute. Exactly twelve hours apart for the next few days, it happens for progressively longer periods of time - two minutes, three, five, eight, thirteen, twenty-one, thirty-four, fifty-five, eighty-nine...the final noise lasts for one hundred and forty four minutes, and causes mass headaches across the city. Some residents are so affected by the noise that they collapse.

OOC Notes: Melias will be available for threading upon request. Also please note if you want to investigate the rumours on the Xaxa Network!

Characters: All
Date: March 22-31, 2019
Location: Around Aifaran
Situation: The surviving crew of the Narrakra is suffering from strange symptoms, and behaving oddly as a result. The two mysterious ships in the harbor begin to behave strangely as well...
Warnings/Rating: Add in headers as needed


The crewmembers of the Narrakra who had returned are beginning to act oddly. Nerrin faints in public; Faias expresses disorientation frequently and holes up at home. Eitria mentions feeling odd and uncomfortable after that strange arson last month, and has gone to the Aisling Tower to confer with the researchers. Melias, too, has gone to the Tower, clearly interested in learning whatever she can about the Narrakra incident, and why the returning crew members have fallen ill so suddenly.

Date: Feb 15-28, running into the first week of March
Location: Around Aifaran
Situation: The Sentry has called on outside help from the Dreamfolk to deal with a challenging situation
Warnings/Rating: None yet, will be added as needed.


In the early morning hours of February 15th, a fire starts at city hall. The blaze burns hot and quick, but fire teams are able to put it out by the time the sun comes up. The Sentry holds a press conference that afternoon, sharing that the fire is determined to be arson. Witnesses describe someone wearing an ill-fitting Sentry uniform hurrying away from the scene.

The Sentry will announce that, due to the strain on their resources dealing with storm recovery, they are commissioning outside assistance to deal with a number of incidents similar to this one. Dreamfolk in particular are being called upon to once again use their unique abilities to aid the archipelago.

OOC Notes: Characters will be provided with tools needed to conduct the investigation, such as gloves and basic forensics gear (fingerprint dust, evidence collection bags, etc). They will also be handed paperwork

If you did not sign your character(s) up for a team, you can submit a summary of what the character will look into and we will provide a reply as to the findings and effects. This will be a one-time thing for these characters in order to maximize the time for the main mission logistics.
