Archived:Camp Council

This page is Camp only, if you're looking for the Broken Covenant version of this page simply follow this link.

Hello all, and welcome to the official start of what I'm calling "Lilith's Letter", one of a series of "Campaigns" that I hope to introduce successfully over the coming months. Campaigns are effectively a series of story driven quests with a heavy emphasis put upon character choice, decision making, and input. Basically I will be presenting you with a situation, and it's up to you as characters to respond to it effectively. Although parts of this campaign are set in stone, I aim to make things as flexible as possible in order to make a fully interactive and dynamic experience that changes based upon your actions and decisions. Just to give you an idea of how flexible this entire thing is: I have no idea what the results of the following meeting will be, or what you all intend to do with the threat you're faced with. I will be taking your reactions, and then providing a response to them from the other side while, hopefully, serving to guide the conversation and discourse in a productive direction should it happen to get vastly off track. What your characters will be walking into, is a meeting of the Camp Council which is moderated by Alexander (Played by yours truly) but made up of the various cabin counsellors who make the executive decisions. Thus, anyone who owns one of these characters should take the following opportunity to put his or her best foot forward before the entire community and ensure that a productive meeting is held with haste and without significant disturbance.

The meeting will be structured as follows:

Cabin Counsellors will have the time to prepare a statement to be singularly presented before the entire body. I urge users to make these cover the breadth of their argument and then use the later time to clarify and answer questions. Given that many users with counsellors are often inactive or hesitant to speak, I will allow each Counsellor with something to say to note his or her name below before we begin. Once everyone on the list has spoken, the floor will be open for Counsellors to discuss things in a more natural manner. Please treat speech in a similar manner to how you would during a Quest. Regular characters will be allowed to voice their opinions though only once, and after asking for permission to speak. This is to ensure that the meeting flows smoothly and takes as little time as is necessary to cover the topic at hand. If you don't have a counsellor position, please remember that those that do have earned the position and have it for a reason. Your time to shine should come later.

Speakers List:
1. Alexander the Great

2.Ventus Aeroqus, Counsellor of Notus' Cabin

3.Victor Halen, Counselor of Hephaestus Cabin

3.Zeke Marshall, Counselor of Zeus Cabin

Camp Council
''A large room on the second floor of The Big House has been cleared to make room for a large oval shaped table surrounded by chairs in which all attending counsellors are seated. Other chairs have been pressed against the wall, where other campers sit and wait for their turn to participate in the conversation.''

Alexander clears his throat at the head of the table, rises, and begins:

Alexander the Great: I assure you all, I am not foreign to times of crisis. In fact, the majority of my short life was utterly dominated by them, one after the other, and so I hope you will trust me when I say the one we face today may well be the greatest since the Second Titan War. The manner in which you all decide to face this threat in the hours to come may be decisive not only in terms of your lives, but in terms of the camp as a whole. Thus I implore you to act without restraint or hesitation in order to bring an end to Pagos and restore peace and security to our home. Thank you.

Vic: Alexander, I get that, really I do, but not all of us have seen as many trials as you. I mean the way I see it, Lilith went about this entirely the wrong way. She could have told somone, came to one of us, and we could have done something. I mean, if this has the capacity to mean war, then we gotta make preparations. Arm ourselves, gather forces, the whole deal. But the way Lilith put it, this is one guy. How much of a threat can one individual pose in all reality? I mean I personally have seen the defeat of monsters, titans, and even gods by forces of 5. Think if we banded together to face one enemy. I doubt there is a force short of Tartarus itself that can beat us if we come together! Which brings me back to this. If this comes down to war, we have to take the fight to them. I don't mean go in guns 'a blazing, I'm all for devising some form of plan, but when the times comes-He pulls Coal Buster from his neck and slams it into the table.-we need to be ready to drop the hammer.

Ven: Unlike Al, I'm not used to times of crisis. I'm usually a very peaceful dude. Obviosuly, this is a matter that can't ne left alone for any amount of time. Something needs to be done, and done as quickly as possible. SOme sort of attack, or spmething. Planning would come first... find his weaknesses, his strengths, and who he has on his side. Oh, and knowing how to find him wouldn't hurt either. I know he's only one man, but who knows how powerful he is? He could be more powerful than a god even. If Lilith's concerned... well it's safe to say that you should be concerned too. What concerns me even more is that he's against the BC too... Don't shoot me for saying this, but they could be a powerful ally, despite wanting to murder us and our parents. Oy vei, this is a mess.

Zeke: Perhaps, but not every enemy's enemy is your friend. Though you are right on a few points. This guy, whoever or whatever he may be, is powerful enough to cause Lilith waver. Believe me, I've had the horror of fighting alongside Lilith, and it not in her nature to falter or fear at all. Which causes me a great deal of concern. Think about it. This being is boasting a great deal of power in Lilith's eyes. And the fact that we had no idea someone so powerful existed illustrates a worrying ability to hide himself. If he's capable of doing this, why not just come up to Lilith, as she's the only one aware of him, and kill her? Why show himself suddenly? That is, unless he's ready. I have no doubt in my mind that he's revealed himself as a challenge to defy him. I agree with Vic's method there, we meet him with all the opposition we can offer. Though at the same time, we'll need a HELL of a plan to ensure we're not dead before we get within 20 paces, that is, assuming he's as powerful as it's been suggested........He sits and kicks his feet up, biting an apple.
