Hey guys. I feel compelled to write this because the way the plot is laid out, and with all the members wanting to be involved, there seems to have been a lot of confusion and strife on LoRA. I really can't tolerate fighting on here... it's a Redwall RP site, you guys. I know everyone is excited to have their own grand moment in this plot, but everyone needs to calm down. Here is how this plot was designed, per member, Fawn.
"A long-standing era of prosperity has ended on the Northern Shores with the coming of the Black Rat King, Lord Obsidius Bane, and his Darkfire Horde comprised of the coldest vermin the North Coast has ever seen. Enslaving all creatures they come across, Lord Bane and the Darkfire Horde are striking terror into the hearts of all with the introduction of a deadly new weapon.
Snakes.
Imported from a faraway land, Lord Bane has brought to the Northern Coast a symbol of death itself: the mighty King Cobra.
When a young, severely wounded otter escapes the clutches of Obsidius Bane and his army and washes up on Salamandastron's shores, the hares of the Long Patrol mobilize to face off against this newest threat.
However, their element of surprise is soon lost, for unbeknown to them -- a mercenary specializing in slave-hunting has tracked the whereabouts of the wounded otter, and rushed back to Lord Bane's side to announce the Long Patrol's forthcoming arrival.
With enough time to prepare for the assault, Lord Bane has rallied his forces, preparing to clash head on with the mighty Salamandastron fighting hares -- all the while recruiting vermin corsairs and mercenaries to fight for the Darkfire Horde, intending to strike on both land and sea.
So with the corsairs closing in fast on Salamandastron's shores, the hares drive deeper into the Northlands while the Dark Horde lies in wait for their arrival. Can the Badger Lord and the remaining Salamandastron hares drive back the corsairs and join forces to defeat the Darkfire Horde?"
Or, in short, this is a story about the Long Patrol vs Obsidious Bane and his horde. Ultimately, this will be a battle with the LONG PATROL. Not a slave coup, not another outside force coming to save the day. I know, to some of you, this sounds selfish of us (particularly me, because I'm known for playing LPers) but this plot was made long ago with our Salamandastron hares in mind, and I intend to keep it that way.
Now, here's my proposal. We can bifurcate the story. It seems like the whole part about the battle-by-sea thing has gone by the wayside. Some of the story is going to take place at, or very near, Salamandastron, while a heavy portion of the Patrol is up north fighting the main force.
I'll welcome any discussion on this. Perhaps this way, more people can be involved without crowding one story (and especially one thread!) We can entertain a number of ideas. Like, with a hefty amount of the mountain's forces away at war, perhaps what's left of Salamandastron falls under siege, or even becomes captured?
I'm not doing this to be argumentative, just trying to clear up the confusion. Feel free to post here with your ideas or concerns about the plot. While I will be taking the advice of various people on the site, I feel, at the end of the day, I'm going to have to make the final decisions on this, because otherwise we won't get to continue with our story-writing.
Thanks guys! Remember, we're here to have fun. =)
