Titanspiracy/New Immortals Plotting Post

[powersthatbe]

If you're not part of the Titanspiracy or one of the jaunt's new immortals, please do not read the comments on this post.

If you are, below is some information that will hopefully aid in your shenanigans-planning.

THE GENERAL PLAN

[fruitknife]

The base instruction: Don't support the Olympians remaining in power.

Support them not all being chucked into Tartarus, by all means. Support a peaceful resolution to potential conflicts, sure. but do not support the Olympians remaining in power.

Beyond that, not even Prometheus has any real way of controlling what mantles new immortals take on, if any; their own interests and actions are far more likely to shape that, as well as player interest in taking the skill. For the most part, you can do as you like.

PLOT OPPORTUNITIES

[fruitknife]

There are a couple chances for Titanspiracy members to get more involved in things, if you don't want to do your own thing instead.

First: help retrieve stuff! Arke's going to get a proper lead on the location of their wings this coming week, and Selene at least will be able to go on a chariot heist. (Helios would like to, but Apollo is possibly too much in play for that to be practical this week; we'll see.) They could use assistance, lookouts, backup muscle, all that good stuff. For now, poke Bii and Blue more directly if you want in.

Second: handling attempts to revert power! This is where 'Helios can see everything' is going to come in handy, as he can get a bead on spotting these attempts in the works and send people to Handle It. Whether anything is actually Handled is down to the involved players, but for those looking for a hook into some conflict, HERE'S YOUR HOOK.

Hellooo, Oracle here. Rhoda's definitely going to be trying to get together a formal rite of dedication to Apollo. Preparations will be hush-hush but the ceremony itself will be public. People are welcome to help or hinder as they see fit! If enough people are interested in doing a thing, I might make a separate log, so please let me know what your interests are. o/

[ninjayeehaw]

Just point Kinji in the direction you want things murdered in and he's on it. I presume he'll be sent after Nike's brigade of prolympians?

[comebewe]

There's probably not too much room for help with Arke's wings - they're not really going to stop and tell people once they have their lead, and they're not going to wait around for anyone either. But Kinji and Yakumo could possibly still have an in there, if only they've already been tagging along with Arke.

Once they get their wings back, though, they are basically going to be able to get everywhere very quickly, and will basically be available for any messages anyone wants to send. (And they might be bringing messages from Prometheus / Helios / Selene as well)

Re: PLOT OPPORTUNITIES

[triggerhappytraitor]

So if this attempt suceeds, Galen is going to try and talk Apollo into stepping down. Full stalking rights granted so if it does work, Helios can swoop on in there and do his thing.

OTHER QUESTIONS?

[powersthatare]

If you have any other questions, drop 'em here and we'll do our best to get you sorted out.

[comebewe]

So, what can the people involved (whether they have been in on this for a while like Arke, or are new to things) expect to know about the causes for what's been going on lately? I.e. will they know what the shooting stars are, and whether the earthquakes and whatnot are an expected part of the plan or not?

Basically how much can Titanspiracy folks expect to know about what's been going on and the reasons for it

[awitchdidit]

Assuming that Euphrasia figures out who to ask (seeing as she's being recruited by a meddling Investigator, not a Titanspirator), would Helios or someone be able to tell her what the deal is with the shooting stars or the problems in Athens?

[butthemiracleneverhappen]

Is continuing to recruit immortals/poll the people on which heroes deserve it a Thing Bern is encouraged to do?

She will mention some skill in dispelling illusions; any particular use that would have for the Titanspiracy?

[icanhearscreams]

Are those who have been given power going to be directed in any way if they're more loosely affiliated (i.e. they don't know the Titan Stuff just that they're suddenly gods now)?

[truerevelation]

So what the heck can a mortal ally who's Just Sitting On The Decision for now (aka until Kanji's out of Kallias' head) get involved with anyway? Kallias has his destiny-spotting ... thing, and Kanji has ... whatever of his crapton of skills he can use while semi-infiltrated, but. It's not god stuff.

[triggerhappytraitor]

Less question, most just sitting in a small box of confusion and feeling a bit over my head here. Debating Galen having the bright idea of trying to talk Apollo into voluntarily stepping down so he won't get murdered as a favor to Feli. Seems like a bad idea all 'round but that is kinda what this guy is made of and I really have no idea what I'm doing anyway, so...

(This is sort of my way of saying "So who wants this cranky tsuntaur anywhere while I try and figure out WTF to do here")

Role call?

[comebewe]

So, in the interest of us all being on the same page on who actually is in the Titanspiracy at this point...can we do a role call? Possibly with some info on how everyone ended up in the titanspiracy.

[comebewe]

And starting things off...Matthaios/Arke is in on this, and has been since the beginning on account of having been the messenger god for the Titans in the last war.

Re: Role call?

[thornsofmalkav]

Selene is in, having been recruited with her brother by Prometheus since Heracles freed him, on account of her role as moon goddess getting passed onto Artemis.

the rumbling clouds, aonin-----oh wait not that kind of rolecall

[cloudpotter]

Yakumo/Cloud is in! A storm wind spirit who got brought in by Arke after bonding over their hatred of the Gods and love of freedom. Cloud was returned to being Yakumo by Zed, and Yakumo's not 100% certain that this is the right way to do things. He is going off Cloud's thoughts on the matter, the Traveler's general push to avoid a Tower win, and the information they have that this is what they have to do to secure Not Tower.

Cloud's involvement brought in the other storm wind spirits, meaning the powers of the storms are at the Titans' disposal.

[ninjayeehaw]

Kinji is one of the mortal lackeys for the Titans to point in a direction and set on people, he has been offered godhood enough times to be severely uncomfortable and knows pretty much all the Important Points of the Titan's plan.

[truerevelation]

Kanji/Kallias is in: Kanji followed both the suggestions on the network and general Chariot poking to get involved and tracked Selene down, and is working (despite some of his own better judgment) with some of Bernkastel's plans. He's been offered godhood, but is deferring it until Kallias is in a situation to take it up of his own free will (aka post-Jaunt). He basically knows 'as much as any Investigator'.

[wholeheaded]

I'm not sure if Milo-Brose is in, still sorting that out, but he is doing his own thing as a newly upgraded apple dryad and exploring his powers. Most of this seems to be related to control over plants and ~bringing a sense of peace/calm/stability/whatever~. Also he's gonna try to steal rescue the Golden Fleece from Iolchis.

He got ambrosia-roofied by Helios, Prometheus and Bern are explaining him a thing.

[whydoyoushine]

Zed is in! Selene brought him into the fold, which was easy with his Mark tugging him this way.

[awitchdidit]

Euphrasia was brought in by Bernkastel and is currently protecting Hebe's cult in Iolchis with undead monsters because that's what she do.

[triggerhappytraitor]

Galen is in! Kinji gave him the cliffnotes version and nudged him to talk with Helios about taking up a spot in the pantheon. He's picking up healer/mentor/wise ole crankybutt/etc for his aspect.

[icanhearscreams]

Kosmas is in, though he's mostly guessing at stuff at this point other than being explicitly told. He got ambrosia from Helios.

Re: Role call?

[fruitknife]

Helios is here to get his godsdamned chariot back. And to help break the cycle of petty backstabbing and ignoring mortals unless it's convenient/you want to bone them.
