jealousy and torment consumed them all

Riftwatch: A Play was never going to be good for the organization's reputation, no matter how hard Diplomacy tried to defang its assertions about the nature of its agents and their work. While the Chantry can't make any official demands on them due to their independent nature, that doesn't stop them from registering their concerns in other ways: a few "guests" have been sent to the Gallows to observe Riftwatch and reassure Divine Beatrix and the rest of the faithful that the play was an outlandish, fantastical exaggeration of the truth and nothing more. As long as that's the case, Riftwatch has no reason to be concerned about their presence!

Hi all! This is a workshopping post for a plot that I think will be fun to run long-term: Due to the concerning assertions of the Orlesian play, Diplomacy has been backed into a corner and made to agree to 1-3 Chantry "guests" coming to observe Riftwatch until Divine Beatrix is reassured, Corypheus is dead, or some secret third option. Essentially, with Ser Keen gone and Riftwatch made up of mostly like-minded liberals, these NPCs would serve to add some friction back to the Gallows and encourage a little more circumspection.

There would be lead-up to the plot in order to let Diplomacy play out the process of agreeing to the observation, with the guests themselves arriving in a month or two. These guests would be as much or as little of a day-to-day problem as would be fun to play with—they'd have no authority to issue threats or make any demands of Riftwatch leadership, nor would they have sending crystal or eluvian access, but they'd be in close contact with the main body of the Chantry and would be sending back reports on any concerning activity. Common areas and division offices would be fair game for their observations, and if they were to come across an unattended sending crystal, well, of course they would return it eventually! Each guest would swear up and down they were only in the Gallows to observe and that they had every confidence that their post here was going to be very boring for both them and anyone in Val Royeaux reading their reports.

Below are comments for questions, suggestions, NPC building, and plotting for how their presence might change the Gallows. © tessisamess

Anything We Should Know: i've wanted to app steve literally the entire time i've been here
Favorite GIF:

CHARACTER
Name: steve rogers
Info Page/App: Click
Who They Are: the star-spangled man with a plan, captain america, a 100 lb asthmatic in the body of a tank
Where They've Been: fighting bullies in brooklyn, fighting nazis in europe, fighting aliens in new york... he's been doing a lot of fighting. most recently, he fought tony stark and the other aveengers over the sokovia accords and his best friend's freedom. it didn't go great, so he gave up his shield and superhero mantle to be a secret avenger.
What They Want: to stop losing everyone who's ever meant anything to him every couple years, for a start! more concretely, he's a man who doesn't know what to do with himself when he's not fighting something, so being dropped straight in the middle of a war he can help win is actually great for him!
Plot & CR Desires:

steve is really easy to be friendly with and very difficult to befriend—he's looking for shared life experience, which is usually difficult for him to come by. not so in riftwatch! please befriend the dinosaur.
steve has a very strong sense of justice and is a terrible liar! take him to tevinter and watch disaster unfold before your very eyes!
i struggle with writing action scenes but if steve doesn't get to fight things he gets sad, please take him as muscle on field assignments and bear with me
i'm just so excited to have him here i'll do literally anything

Hiya. This is an experimental plotting discussion/brainstorming post for killing! Corypheus! eventually! with some build-up!!!! There are comments below for:

1. Questions. If you want a lore check or something. I am not the only person who can answer these, so feel free to jump in (or correct me if I do answer and it's wrong).

2. General Proposals. This is for discussing ideas for how this could happen — either the thing itself or the build-up — in a general way.

3. Character Dreams. This is for registering desires for characters to participate (and how, if you know). Everyone be brave about indicating a desire for your character to do something important! We're all there is! And we're all good at sharing, so if we have (for example) multiple people for whom getting to actually murder the guy would be an important character moment, we can team them up and work it out so they're all cool.
