So the plan so far is: 1. Willis is working for the dwarven contact. Who sends him a contract from a merchant who had his heirloom stolen. Since this is first time working for him, the Dwarf sends Kailyn as a way to spy and put him to the test? 2. Willis arrives at the place where the Merchant is lamenting the fact that he has his family heirloom stolen. 3. Kailyn can come over and spy on Willis(?) maybe pay off thugs to ambush him to test Willis' fighting skills BEFORE entering the store. 4. The Merchant says that the thief is likely headed to lothering where he can sell it off. 5. Willis can say he can retrieve it if he gets which the merchant is happy to do so. 6. Willis leaves and as soon as he out of the village is ambushed by thugs which Kailyn can spy and witness him using his Spirit powers ? 7. Kailyn can introduce herself and may or may not tell him about how she is spying on him (?) she can offer help (?) and they head to Lothering, bickering all the way. Is that good so far cmoe

smilesja Sounds good, just two questions: 1. So I can keep my idea that she has worked with Durk before? 2. If she is hired by Durk to vet willis then maybe the ambush before he meets the merchant, but doesn't it makes more sense she would wait until he was more secluded? (or is this like Kirkwall, an ambush around every street corner?)

1. Sure!
2. Hmmmm...... yeah that makes more sense! It could have Kailyn be more interested in Willis' prowess.

Let me stress the NPC is yours. You can use them as you see fit, as LONG as they fit in the story and it does!

smilesja Sent you my thoughts! Just out of curiosity, do you think most people know what Varric looks like because of his books?

Does it depend on the writer/poster on how funny/sarcastic the character can be? Or do you all agree if the story will have more serious/dark undertones versus more lighthearted beforehand?

If funny/sarcastic fits your character then go for it.

cmoeHere's the updated plan: 1. After their introductions, Willis and Kaitlyn head to the forest. 2. They can start camp and do more interactions. I highly suggest we do this to sharpen you reaction posts we may even collab to have run smoothly. 3. In the morning, Willis and Kaitlyn continue to search the forest and eventually find a camp that is likely belonging to the thief. They search for clues to his whereabouts. You are free to make up any clues you like to make it sound like the thief found something special about the compass. 4.I need your input for this: Kailyn or Willis hears a noise and stumbles on the talking tree and shouts. Kailyn/Willis (whoever was left behind.) to come and see them. 5. Willis and Kailyn ask questions to the tree and he alludes that the thief is headed towards Ferelden. So what do you think? Do you have any ideas of your own? Please proved feedback.

smilesja I like the outline. I'm still thinking over some ideas, I'm slow with the creative part. I could definitely use the practice for reacting to dialogue. Typically how far out would an outline go for an RP? I'm not sure I have a clear understanding of how much the story is shaped as we go and how much is pre-planned. (Probably overthinking it again)

Did we say the thief is going to be a dead end though? So would the clue be something that tells us more about who hired the thief?

I would suggest the thief work for Cailyn's ex-boyfriend. Willis and Kailyn will catch the thief in Lothering.

Ok, I think if you want the compass to be something more than it seems, it would make sense the thief was just hired or working for the person who knows more about the potential of the compass

cmoe Change of plans 3. In the morning, Willis and Kaitlyn continue to search the forest and eventually find a camp that is likely belonging to the thief. They search for clues to his whereabouts. You are free to make up any clues you like to make it sound like the thief found something special about the compass and that he is working for Kailyn's ex lover. The camp looked like it was raided by Darkspawn. 4. After they search for clues, Willis and Kailyn are ambushed by Darkspawn. They fight back, but Willis and Kailyn are heavily outnumbered. They are saved by the Slyvian. 5. Willis and Kailyn ask questions to the tree and he alludes that the Darkspawn captured the thief and dragged him to a cave north of here. 6. Willis and Kailyn reach the cave go inside in attempt to rescue the thief. So what do you think? We need more practice regarding typing out action scenes. And I think we can start to allude that Kailyn's ex-lover is involved. So got any feedback?

smilesja I had a thought! Just the one though  An item left at the camp can confirm for Kailyn Declan is involved. (like a coin, ring, something) It would give her more motivation to continue searching. Otherwise, she isn't big on taking jobs with this much hassle.
