Mission: Mission #10.5: The Grand Finale 5/5
MISSION INFORMATION
Here are the out of character mission information and RP Notes on the Finale Season 2 mission!

It also doubles as both the last part of the last mission's finale and the rebirth of AIL, leading to season 3. The notes are a bit sporadic though. And once again, there was no voter for the mission so there's no points added.

Check below for spoilery notes on how the Season came to a close!

Mission notes for Grand Finale 5/5


 

Pieces missing notes:
Aleena and Dash's final co-write

 
Mission notice - archive copy
Posted by: Dash

 
Alright, I wasn't planning to do this as a mission, but the way things have unfolded it might be for the best. This way, we'll get a chance to basically open up roleplaying and figure it out as we go.

I did a Mission notification instead of offering a proper Rollover story. Let's start by opening up roleplaying and getting our character stories started. You can focus on your personal stories, and/ or tackle the four remaining problems listed above. For the time being, though I want to keep them open. Meaning, I don't want to have any of the major scenarios flat out solved yet.

Once we get rolling, we can talk about solving some of these issues during roleplaying. Later on.

I'll start a thread for discussing this all on the boards as well.

Roleplaying is now open. I plan to keep it going indefinitely while we figure out how we'll eventually wrap it up. I want to keep roleplaying open for a while and give people a chance to drift back into the game.

Let's go out there and work toward a proper grand ending for AIL. (Or, if circumstances dictate it, a rebirth.)

Wa.8m.com/AIL - updated with Guild Warriors II. I'll try to get Return to Hey Daze archived there soon, too.

Though it isn't as important with side stories, I still wanted to put a section for notes for dealing with the REALLY important plot twists and story evolution! But of course, I would like it if you posted a short note on all the roleplays and co writes we do.

Sassy Snake's first of five solos - archive copy
Posted by: Dash

 
Okay I went ahead and posted a solo on behalf of Sassy Snake. Basically it's a flashback from before the last mission Finale.

She manages to save Todd Blackpaws before recovering her weapons, plus a kidnapped girl, from some thugs who had kidnapped Sassy and the girl in a previous roleplay. Sassy takes out a few thugs on her way to saving the girl.. next up, more flashback'ing with Todd and Wildfall, probably!

Note: We should probably start putting the roleplay titles in with these notes.

Since we might very well be doing missions in the future, and since this one has a real shot of being finished, I figured I should go back and do notes on some of these wonderful roleplays. Mostly featuring Dash.

 
Snake Talk - Set during the current mission, Todd and Wildfall talk about things. (Wildey wants to get his money from Honorburg and open up a bar here.) They also decide to split up, remembering they have to go help Sassy Snake's problem with camps of thugs. Wildey's going to follow some snakes he thinks will lead him to her while Todd is either going to town or the Weeping Tree, where Wildfall and Todd are supposed to meet.

Snake in the Bushes is set before the Elite 7/ 8 battle. Sassy and her snake-friend, Serpentina, discuss the safest route for Sassy to take. Her reptilian friend (not a furry (scaley?), an actual snake) tells her of a relatively safe path behind the hills. Sassy agrees to take it.

Set shortly after that is Camp Sassy: Sassy spies a fox, where Sassy is looking for the girl she wants to rescue. Instead she runs into the Blood Empire camp, where she meets up with Cattaras, Wildfall, Tus and Todd. Near the end, Todd tries to flirt with her.

There's a brief interlude for Dash: The bleak battlefield, where Dash deals with some of the aftermath of the last mission's second and third finale parts. Dash takes on the Heckions, thugs from Dash's old stomping grounds of Honorburg. Dash deals with them mostly off camera.

Finally.. In Sassy's Answer and A Garden., Sassy shoots Todd down then ends up finding a garden, where she shows Todd the dangerous throckle fruit, among other items. She shows him how to open it without dying a painful gruesome death and the two bond. She also worries about her own death, but Todd tries to set her mind at ease. Oh, and Wildfall is only here for the very start of this, so.. Go figure, I guess. It SHOULD BE the last flashback roleplay for the three, since they set out towards Degrassi for the big battle in the last mission's finale.

Wildfall continues to look for Sassy Snake, following snakes he thinks will lead to her. Oh, and the post title happens. "The ninja Prince has joined the party (Wildfall)" On a hill overlooking clown rock.

Sorry! I keep not doing these then having to write a bunch at once. I need to get in the habit of posting a RP note for each of these.

"Path to Philler" - Sir Fumblies and Bandit make their way through a portal and have to sneak past a giant baby which they do, thanks to the ghost in the armor of Sir Fumblies. Kwadlin is on the other side, holding Fahari prisoner and using her for... something.

"Task Force Virtue Part 1" - Dash is teaming with his ex, Katlana and her current Jake. (They are from Honorburg, Dash's former.. you know by now.) They run across and aide Catrina Whiteclaw, who had been fighting alongside the pirates against Honorburg villains. Catrina and Katlana don't get along.. at first. Not til they team up with the boys to fight off Muri-dan. (Not the Trinity.)

"Task Force Virtue Part 2" - With the battlefield mostly cleared, Aleena is able to contact Sebastian about the Glaive being successfully tossed into a black hole. However.. something weird happened when it did. And now.. something very weird is going on at the crumbling Sorceress's tower!

Wildfall and Ninja's two-parter (Clowning around) - Wildfall and the ninja prince sneak around and battle a clown. (After the prince talked about wanting to make his way to Clown Rock.. ironically.) After the heroes win.. they find themselves surrounded by several chanting clowns!

That's it! More to come.. Can you believe this mission has gone on almost a full year? Wow.

Aleena, Catrina and Dash's only co-write - archive copy
Posted by: Dash

 
"Task Force Virtue Part 3" brings Dash, Aleena and Catrina Whiteclaw together along with Honorburg's heroes Katlana (Dash's ex-wife) and her ally Jake. Basically, Jake, Katlana and Catrina are being seriously disoriented by.. something. Aleena has no answers yet either. After warning some of the others near the tower to get the hell AWAY from it, Catrina superspeeds Dash and Kat (Jake had already taken off) further away from the tower. At the very end, there's a flash of light. Then Dash sees - or thinks he sees- a bugbear trying to claw its way through a rift in space.

(Note: Yeah.. he really does see that. We'll explore what it means very soon.)

Sassy Snake's third of five solos - archive copy
Posted by: Dash

 
"The Sassy Squad: Icy, Rayven and Bristle" basically sees Sassy save Icy, Rayven and a male mage from abusive captors. They escape. Then she helps free Bristle, who seems like a good enough fighter. Bristle is from Sassy's dimension and mentions it's starting to get bad in her home dimension.. which she can't get back to.

Shelldor and Wildfall's only co-write - archive copy
Posted by: Shelldor

 
Shelldor's breathtaking debut
Wildfall and the ninja find themselves in a tight spot, but a mighty warrior with a talking shield comes to bail them out. Shelldor and the ninja find common ground, and head off after the airship, and Wildfall continues after his snakes.

Fahari and Fumbles's only co-write - archive copy
Sassy Snake's forth of five solos - archive copy
Becky and SpaghettiGirl's only co-write - archive copy
Posted by: Becky Joy

 
"Confronting Kwadlin [part 1]" - Sir Fumblies and Bandit go to fight Kwadlin but fight Bones instead. They win- with the help of a goddess-possessed Fahari. Then they go through a door.

"Sassy and the Lonely Troll" - Sassy tries to befriend a troll named Belinda. Rayvon thinks its a waste of time and proceeds to be a pain in the butt about everything thereafter. Sassy renames the troll Linger. She gets to know him. Oh, and the two set up camp. And Ryavon is still a PITA.

"Reunion!" is the piece where SpaghettiGirl debuts, helps some NPC's from an old Sassy Snake roleplay, and the helps Becky who is now recovering from a concussion. SG makes Becky promise to rest. Becky promises to buy them lunch later before they go searching for Cattaras.

Sassy Snake's final solo - archive copy
Posted by: Dash

 
Basically, "Breaking up is easy to do" focuses on Rayvon being a pain in the butt, quitting the "team," and going off on her own.. after threatening the others. Oh, Bristle lost his temper and shoved her. Also, Rayvon killed a rabbit. No one cared for that.

Little fish in a big pond.

The swaggerful Dread Captain Waldo tears off more than he can chew when he tangles with an epic airship.

Scorecard - archive copy
Posted by: Dash

 
So, with the last couple posts, Season 2 is basically done.

Season 3 should start tonight or tomorrow, if I can get the Rollover together and get stuff up.

A little history for those of you who need to be caught up. Season 2 was originally going to end- and be the final season of the game- in 2013, when the voter got very busy and I'd become ready to move on past AIL. Sadly, though, my father died at a time where I was already struggling with AIL.

So the last mission didn't get finished until 2015, when I decided to turn the fifth part of the Finale into mission #10.5. I started the next mission, but roleplaying didn't really get started until August. We really felt alive in August and September, and the voter said he was ready to vote for us again.

But that won't start into season 3. Since there was no voting for our last two missions, the Season 2 totals are basically what they were as of Return to Hey Daze.

Here they are without commentary! Get ready for Season 3, everyone!

Congrats on us for our first two seasons!
