EB Followers Adventure #1 Options

     Greeting Rainbow Council,

   It has been reported by our operatives on the Sword Coast that Castle Naerytar has finally been wrested from the hands of the bullywugs. Now that we have established a proper foothold in the area we must discuss our future plans for the operatives. Currently there are several key options that we should look into for expanding our dominance and influence throughout the area. I leave it to you to vote on what we send them to do in the name of the Equality Brigade.

(Pick One)

Dominance: Clear the Swamp of Remaining Bullywugs

   One of the more pressing matters is to ensure that no enemies remain to attempt to seize back control of our stronghold. By eliminating any remaining holdouts of bullywugs in the Mere we can make other potential enemies think twice before trying anything against us.We can send in a team of the Uncloaked to snuff out the frogmen once and for all and claim this area as ours once and for all.

Influence: Contact local towns to Establish Trade

Now that we have a fortified stronghold on the Sword Coast, it is time to make our name known in every house and in the ear of every lord. By contacting the local settlements and making connections, eventually we may be able to gain more powerful patrons and sponsors to support our goals. Trading is the life-blood of the land and creating positive relations with the people can open many doors for us.

Omniscience: Research Farseer and Texts in the Castle 

Luckily for us, the bullywugs had no use for the upper chambers of the castle which left many old tomes and documents intact for us to look through. Scrying through the pages will take some time and needs a keen eye for us to be able to find valuable information as well as seeing just what this Farseer is capable of. Sending followers to study these might just yield information that can benefit us in the future.

 Currently, we only have the ability to send three operatives on one of these assignments as they must journey back to the Sword Coast with haste. Please let me know which of the followers you feel have the best qualifications and I will notify them of their impending duties and assignments.

Operative Choices (Pick Three): Ara Dyernina, Doran Brizik, Drummone, Snapjaw Wugbane, Shoalar Quanderil, Spernik

EB Follower Mini Adventures

Hello Fellow Rainbow Council Members,

     This post is to discuss my plan for expanding the importance of our retainers (specifically the ones that I have given stats to) and how they fit in with the overall story that we are trying to create with the Equality Brigade. The plan is that each week, depending on adventures and the people/property of the EB, I will write an excerpt about missions for the No-Cloaks to go on to further the EB cause. These will come in the form of optional quests to send them on which will in turn (possibly) affect future experiences of the Equality Brigade. Each Mini will have three options of quest to choose from: Dominance, Influence, and Omniscience.

Dominance- This quest option focuses on reducing the powers any forces opposing the Equality Brigade or ensuring our supremacy over an area. Some examples could include taking out bandits near our holdings or stealing members of the local guilds away from other factions of power (Harpers, Xhents, etc.). If they do well then the rewards from this option are more likely to be the spoils of war and new recruits to join in our escapades across Faerun; while the penalties for failing could be losing lands/property or possible deaths of guild-members.

Influence- This quest option focuses of increasing our reputation with cities and factions as well as spreading our grips onto different organization and people of power. Some examples could include establishing trade routes into cities, attending to dignitaries and parties, or serving under other factions to gain their support for future use. If they do well then rewards in this option could be increased gold income and ways to spend it; while the penalties could be losing face with factions and potentially making enemies where friends could have been.

Omniscience- This quest option focuses on the research and lore gathering to improve the aggregate knowledge of the Equality Brigade. Some examples include researching gathered magical objects, delving into ancient ruins for ancient texts, and gathering knowledge on local factions and their power positions throughout the land. Rewards for this route include possible magic items and information that may lead to side-quests; failures may result in loss of magic items or other unforeseen consequences of tapping into ancient or forbidden secrets.

(Note*** This is just a generalized example of choices and actual mission types and rewards may vary from mission to mission)
