When you make a thread in this post, please put the names of the NPCs you want to respond in the header of the first comment.

As a note, this is also your last chance to make any changes that will affect how endgame begins. All things that help or hurt the Bastion residents will be tallied up on September 18th, and the final post will go up shortly after that. So if you want to catch the thief, form any alliances with other NPC groups, or anything else, now is the time to do it.

Where: the storage shed where Nathaniel keeps all the Skyway-things
What: The compass-thief returns!
Format: action
Warnings: none

[The group going to the Ura camp left early in the morning. However, Day 322 is far from uneventful. Come mid-afternoon, Nathaniel can be heard shouting, trying to get the attention of anyone he can.]

HEY! That thief got into the storage again! This time they didn't just take compasses, but amulets too!

Who: Zahi + anyone else who wants to talk to him (plus other NPCs if you want to talk to them)
Open: Open
When: Day 311
Where: Near the distillery, during lunchtime.
What: FIELD TRIP
Format: action
Warnings: none

[On a day just like any other day, Zahi is struck with an idea. It is an idea he hopes will help cheer some of the people here up a bit.]

Say...most of you didn't get to see the terminals, right? We go through there all the time to take supplies to that camp of Ura, and by now the monsters are really thinned out. Since it's safer, we should take a trip out there, so people who can't normally go out on the Skyway can see it!

[Well. At least he is thinking of planning first, that helps right?]

((OOC: If a trip is agreed upon, it won't be happening in this post. This is an IC interest check for such a trip. It's also a good spot to express any thoughts or concerns over said trip.

The other NPCs are around too, so if you want to talk to one specifically, put their name in the header of your comment. Otherwise you get Zahi.))

bastionpc

Who: Everyone who wants to be involved, plus a ~*~surprise guest~*~
Open: Open
When: Day 301
Where: Roathus Lagoon
What: oh look it's time for a core
Format: action
Warnings: none yet

[When Nathaniel calls for one of the all-too familiar meetings regarding cores, he looks pretty unhappy. In fact, he looks like he has some bad news to give. Whatever it is, everyone should come listen, because it's pretty important!]

bastionpc

Who: many NPCs, many characters
Open: Open (see below)
When: Day 292
Where: The Bastion, in different locations (see below)
What: a few conversations need to happen, so here they are! Some are plot-important, some are not, but all are welcome to participate
Format: action
Warnings: none

Each thread is going to be started with whatever NPC is participating in it. Please do not make new threads, but instead comment to the NPC threads.

Additionally, each conversation will occur once, so instead of several individual conversations there should be one conversation per thread with several participants. Feel free to have your character participate wherever you like, but we ask that each character participate in one conversation only.

Also, some of the NPC threads will have a character limit to them, which will be clearly stated in the header of that thread. Once that limit has been reached, those particular threads will be closed to those who have already tagged in.

Who: Zahi and everyone who wants to go hunt down the cure
Open: Open
When: 201- onwards
Where: the monument, and then out on the Skyway
What: People in the Bastion are falling sick, and Zahi knows where a cure can be found. Unfortunately, it won't be easy to get to.
Format: action
Warnings: none

[On Day 201, after several people have fallen ill, another meeting is called. This time, however, it is not Nathaniel who has called for everyone. It's Zahi.]

Okay, I know everyone's been worried about the people in the hospital, and it looks like our fears weren't unfounded: some of the people who went on that last trip, they caught something.

I've been watching the symptoms, and I think I know what this is. A long time ago, back before Zayna was born, there was a terrible illness that claimed the lives of many Ura. Everyone who fell sick here, they had the same symptoms as those who caught the disease before.

On the plus side, this means that it can be cured. I know of a clinic, way out in the Terminals, where there should be some medicine stocked. Not only can we cure the sick, but we can give another kind of medicine to those who aren't sick yet, so they won't catch it at all.

The downside is that it's gonna take a while to get there. It'll be at least two days there, and possibly more to track down exactly where the clinic is, and then the same amount of time back. We're looking at a four-day minimum, which means we won't be much help to those who are sick right now. They'll either be dead or getting better by the time we get back.

Then there's the fact that it's really dangerous out there. Zayna and I were out on the Terminals before we came here, and let's just say that there's a reason we went looking for somewhere safer to stay.

If you'd rather stay here, I can understand that. The Bastion is an amazing place, and I wouldn't be surprised if someone here managed to save everyone. But I'm not a fan of putting all my eggs in one basket, so I figured it's worth a shot to go and try to get some of the medicine.

What do you guys think?

Format: Action
Warnings: N/A

[It's been a few days since the last set of places was spied on the Skyway, and the Bastion has gone back to relative quiet again. But Zayna and Zulf haven't given up their mapping endeavor, and today they return with news of three more locations.

What was going to be found out there? Good things, or more heart break?]

Format: Any
Warnings:

[Just like before, Zayna and Zulf had taken to the Skyway after the first explorations of the new locations were over. And just like before, more locations were spotted in the distance.

They returned with more maps, calling out once again for anyone to take on the endeavor of searching these new places and bringing back anything at all that could be helpful.]

Format: whatever you like
Warnings: science

[On day 158, two days after they left, the salvage crew returns from the second trip to the Mancer Observatory. This time, instead of answers, they have loot. Lots and lots of loot. Also, they've brought a new person with them!

There is a lot of discussions to have, so have them in here.]

Who: Everyone who didn't go to the Observatory
Open: Open
When: Early on Day 157
Where: The apartment building, specifically Nathaniel's place
What: Plot Things for the non-exploration type
Format: action
Warnings: none

[So. A bunch of people left the Bastion on Day 156 to go to the Observatory, get some things, and possibly kill a giant plant. But not everyone went. In fact, there are a lot of people still in the Bastion, for various reasons.

And on the night of Day 156, when most people were sleeping, someone broke into Nathaniel's room and tore the place apart.

They were quiet about it, so as to keep people from stumbling upon them while they work, but they did not even try to hide the mess. They left Nathaniel's door and window open, and anyone who goes in will find everything in shambles. Things on the floor, tables overturned, dishes broken, and so forth. Whoever did this, they did a thorough job of looking through every nook and cranny in the apartment.

Nathaniel is off at the Observatory, so he can't react to the mess, and whoever did this is long gone by morning. However, other people can come across this mess and try to figure out what the hell happened. Especially if they live in the Apartments, as anyone who lives in there has to walk by the open door to leave the building.]
