House Dethsiris OOC Meeting [August 2021]
Present at the meeting: BlackDawn, Carthellen_Orcrist, Nighthawke, Jaed|Hawke|, Mae, Shiho, Tennibrook`Balmossie. Pipistrelle, Ronja.
OOC announcements :- We have 3 new members of the house as of recent. Jaed - Scribe, Jaescin - Overseer of Treasury, Ulf`Ivarsson - Blacksmith. Welcome aboard!
- I've been removing characters that no longer work for the House on the position list, and added recent hires so that it's now updated and accurate.
- Vexademus took a brief pause from the weekly quests she's been running, I spoke with her after our meeting and she informed me that she'll be running
them again from this coming Tuesday and announce it on our MB like before.
Agenda 1.
Regarding Quests and Events :- The Aerial Race was originally set to a Saturday. 3 of those that signed up showed up. The comments when announced in the ooc of those that
would've otherwise liked to join, were these : They work Saturdays, and Saturdays are also the day when some have other rp'g, and for some it's the one day
in the week that they get to rp with rp partners that's not here in the weeks.
We postponed the Aerial Race to a Sunday, and everyone that had signed up came and attended.
My conclusion is that this is something we have to concider when we put up quests and events, and that Saturday isn't a good day for it in general.
Agenda 2.Summary of the meeting with Stormwid and Naomi, regarding trading routes :- Present at the meeting : Stormwind, Naomi, BlackDawn, Wade.
- We discussed where the trade routes would go, there's a lot of islands on the trip from Dethsiris to Virelith. The suggestion was to go as close to main land as possible
to avoid smugglers and pirates. However, then there's also a possibility of them attacking from land when they discover it.
- We'll also have to be wary of inside operations. If we can't track them out on open seas, there's a good chance they're doing operations on land like once encountered
in Thallis.
- For the time being, there excists no map of Virelith and it's coast. Naomi is working on it, and will give it to Dawn when it's finished.
- Wade has storages in Thallis, Virelith, Dethsiris, Nanthalion that he offered us to borrow if we need them. They are guarded.
- Naomi has a private island near the shipping lanes in Virelith with a Keep and cave systems that we also can use for storage. It's heavily guarded.
- There's a island 4 days from Thallis where the ships can stop for repairs.
- Naomi wishes to go on a trip on the Dethsiris ship for mapping purpouses. She works on Friday's and can't join the monthly quests, she'll be in touch with Shiho to
figure out something else.
- There'll be another meeting in near future to flesh out more details.
Agenda 3.
Summary of the meeting with Nairun`moon, Sea Captain of Thallis :- Present at the meeting : BlackDawn, Mae, Aavran, Nairun`moon.
- Dawn told of the meeting with Stormwind and Naomi and the suggestion of the ships going on the inside of the island, closer to land. Aavran pointed out that in some
places they needed to go into deeper waters.
- Nairun`moon would like a collaberation with Dethsiris, and will join with his battleship.
- He needs helps with his battleship as it was under attack, some of the framework and deck needs to be replaced. Dawn offered that Dethsiris help him to get his ship
fixed, he accepted. I've been in touch with Katipo and Wade to help, and will have a meeting with the two. Mae and Aavran will also help.
- Mae suggested enchantments of the ships, and will get back to Dawn about which enchantments. Mae also offered to enchant Ray's ship, and will talk to Ray about it.
- Nairun`moon need a place to dock his ship - Dawn offered him to dock it in Dethsiris.
Comments, questions and answers during the meeting :<@BlackDawn> And Naomi has a island with a Keep and cave systems where we can store things.
<+Carthellen_Orcrist> As far as military escorts. If i can be there Carthellen is happy to volunteer
<@BlackDawn> That's the beauty of this, lots of rp opportunities. And questing, as well.
<@BlackDawn> There's a island 4 days from Thallis where the ships can stop for repairs.
<+Carthellen_Orcrist> If need be we can also ask for temporary docking in thallis to find repairs if we're out that way yes?
<@BlackDawn> We could certainly ask Ray.
<+Carthellen_Orcrist> Makes sense.
<+Carthellen_Orcrist> Did we need anything on land to secure trade routes over land TO the docks safely? :3
<@BlackDawn> We do, Carthellen. We need to see the wares safely to the storages.
<@BlackDawn> But, we've yet to figure what storages we'll use.
<+Carthellen_Orcrist> If we've stores in the Dethsiris keep that can be temporarily used, could have some of the military on guard to ensure its security
<@BlackDawn> Also, that's where the army comes in to join, or do their own missions and quests on that part of the delivery.
+Carthellen_Orcrist> even if i can't be there for events. I can start having Carthellen doing patrols to fight back monsters on the roads and keep the trade roads safe
<@BlackDawn> Forexample.
<@BlackDawn> He could forexample do patrols along the roads in Dethsiris currently, to see that the wagons of fruit going down to the docks are being kept safe.
<@BlackDawn> - Nairun`moon would like a collaberation with Dethsiris, and will join with his battleship. He needs a place to dock it, and Dawn offered him to do that
in our port.
<+Carthellen_Orcrist> Of course
<+Carthellen_Orcrist> Should they need support they'll have it.
<@BlackDawn> We're reaching out to other houses, which will be a lot of fun and more rp opportunities.
<+Carthellen_Orcrist> Honestly there's a LOT more activity of late.
<+Carthellen_Orcrist> And that's really encouraging
Yes, it is! I'm amazed at all the work you all put in - you're doing a great job!
Our next meeting will be held Saturday September 11th, 11 am Central.
As always - if you have an idea, something you'd like for me to bring up or questions in general, slip me a pm.
Lastly, a bit of information (ooc) : I've mentioned before that I'm going under the knife. August 17th is the day, so I'll most likely be away
for a few days and it's uncertain how much I'm able to rp the coming days after, but if I'm not here and you need me send me a message on the MB
as I'll go in there and check once a day.
