[plots n events] Synopsis of Kidnapping the King
Update on the Kidnapping the King plot thus far:
At the Yule ball an unknown group kidnapped the King and hired Tony the Razor to transport him (unbeknownst to Tony, of course, that it was the King he was going to be transporting or he NEVER would have agreed to it- Naturally.). Their destination is unknown.
The King is being held in a comfortable cabin on the ship and his every need being addressed. He surely is enjoying his vacation from all the rigors of ruling a country.
Meanwhile, Leah and Omensinger are trying to track down a mysterious ship that ported and departed the night of the King's kidnapping. It is possible this ship was the one used to spirit the King away from Araluen. The ship in question is The Grey Lady. (if you read the Yule Ball and Kidnapping the King you should be able to answer this mystery).
Out at sea, about a day or less from the shores of Gallica, three war ships are bearing down on The Grey Lady. Their intent is unknown at this time, but let’s just say they are making the Captain of the Grey Lady very nervous.
Back in Araluen the Princess is trying to run the country while the King is missing and has agents in various branches of the government looking for the King to bring him back and bring his abductors to justice.
With the absence of the King, and the rangers and the Araluen Guard being distracted by looking for clues to his whereabouts, crime in the fiefs is increasing.
All of this happened right on the heels of the war with Aslavia so the finances are a bit taxed, even though Araluen, Gallica and Toscano ultimately defeated the Aslavians, killing their general, and forced them back to their eastern lands. Araluen promised aid to Toscano to rebuild its cities and help feed its people that were left homeless in a charred land in the wake of the war. Also, since many of the men called to fight in the war were those who plant crops and tend the fields, and they were not home to do so, a great many of the crops didn’t get planted during last summer and so there is a food shortage in parts of Araluen.
The Princess is faced with not enough funds or food to cover all of her father's commitments and fend off petty crime on the home front. Her manpower is spread thin with sometimes two fiefs being assigned to one ranger so that the other ranger can help search for the King.
So, in your plots and stories you can join in on this plot, search for the King in your own post, jump in on the Kidnapping the King post (but please, if you are going to be on Tony’s ship, drop me a PM first and let me know you want to be part of the crew.) You can be after bandits in one of the fiefs, or be the bad guys and take advantage of the situation in Araluen right now.
The threads involving this plot currently are:
The Yule Ball (Araluen – Northern Fiefs)
The Grey Lady Escapes (Araluen – Northern Fiefs)
The King is kidnapped (The Ocean – Seas)
The Cauldron Boils (La Rivage – Gallica)
Out of the Frying Pan (The Ocean – Seas)
Into the Fire (The Ocean – Seas)
Of course there are other plots going on as well currently and you can always start up your own thing.
If you want to introduce a major plot, though, please PM the staff about it first. We like to keep the big plots that involve a lot of people to one at a time if possible.
Tandar and I are still planning to hold a Gathering and a Faire in the near future. We plan to have tournaments and pranks and some fun stuff during this plot. If you have ideas for the Faire or Gathering, please send us a PM about them. (Do NOT post questions on the Gathering / Faire to this thread.)
If you have questions about this Kidnapping the King plot, you can post them on this thread and I will try to answer them – within reason.
