I'm wheighging in late on this, I know, but that's because the conversation was on swords and Witcher lore, and I know little of both.

I think one of the ideas that makes more sense to me is the first. Like he is gathering his kin, but he also doesn't want them to be just taken by foorce, so he makes the fake contract to attract people and then convinces them of taking part on the hunt for the sake of the puny humans. Also, he can bluff his way out of the king sayin something like "Yes, this are totally the last there are, you should belive me, I'm a Witcher."

As far as starting the IC goes, I was thinking with Rilden's advanced knowledge on beasts, he would create a fake "bounty" on a creature that was very rare, and magically adept, so both Witchers would want to take it on, and Mages (and even High Vampires) would want to tame it...

OR we could use the theme of "fate" and have them all be around the same area as a large teleportation of very hostile and smart creatures that fall upon an important city in the world. Mages would want to see what caused that much magic, Witchers will want to kill them, and so on.

OR we are all connected in some elaborate "we all have our own goals right now" but then they join forces. Like Rilden is chasing a lead on a Witcher/mage sighting, The assassin witcher is taking on a contract, another witcher could be searching for a High Vampire said to be hiding within the town, etc. This one will require a lot of conversation and talking XD

Those are my ideas right now. nothing definite, these are rough drafts, and I'd love to hear your guys' inputs and ideas!


My apologies, @Kenaron brought an important point into my attention (thanks, Swordgasm).

Despite what's currently said, I think the fake bounty would be an interesting leash. Its far more effective than a cliched 'fate' or 'conflicting goals'. I see it as similar to how short of a leash Geralt has in the Third Witcher game with the Nilfgaardian emperor.

EDIT:

Added Relations to Scilla of the Dancing Blades.

Thanks everyone for the input, I was also leaning towards the first, I liked the thought of Rilden's fellow Witchers kinda confused on why he's helping the Grand King after all he's done.

I'll get the IC up today!

@Jones SparrowYay... also is it strange that a very specific goal for Scilla is swirling in my head about possible death of certain royal douchebag...?

@Jones Sparrow totally excited for the IC, I'll be keeping an eye out!

Also, everyone would start their separate ways, right? Coming into contact when they try to get to the bounty?

@Kenaron

mostly, yes! Although Rilden is training Nightwing's Character, Foltest, so they'll be hanging out waiting for you guys to show up!

@Jones Sparrow Ahh Foltest now that was a fine king! I loved his speech about how the kingdom was a whorehouse xD

That aside I decided to draw a proper Scilla only picture, it's going slow but I have a work in progress!

Any other relations that a person might want to add with Ferghus?

I'm not sure if Elanil would have relations with the others. Although she is currently just a traveller. Hit me up with an idea if you think you'd like our characters to know each other~

Does Elanil have a specific specialty with her magic? Is she fond of social gatherings? You mentioned that she travels alot. Perhaps they brushed shoulders together by the road? Did she hang around Haakland or Zerrikania previously?

Ferghus is a traveller himself as well but resided mostly in Haakland and Zerrikania.

Valter will very likely join in when he gets word of the contract, because he's worried about his territory. Also he won't be super excited about a ton of Witchers gathering together in his stomping grounds, so he'd want to help wrap things up and get back to normal.

Now that everyone is talking about it, anyone that wants a wandering contact just let me know and I'll give my Cenkos someone in her raletionships department. Nomadic and normally a forest person, anyone up?

It's possible she may have met Valter wandering through some ruin or forest.

Sounds plausible, @Lucian, friends, aquaintances or the "I see you seeing me" kind of relationship?

It'd likely start as the latter, but maybe they assisted eachother at some point. Up to you really.

@Lucian you mentioned him having his territory, maybe they ran into each other while Cen was going though them, and got to an agreement of not interfeering.

Like they know each other, but are not exactly "friends", more like "known faces" to each other, sounds good?
