Hi.
Some of you may know me, some of you may not. Most of you should, at the very least, know my name ICly. After all, I'm listed by name in 99% of your investigation plotlines.
I am Olorae en'Eveil. I am the one that seems to be popping up every time something happens.
Why?
Well, you're an investigative unit. Find out!
There are multiple investigations going on. Just last night, one of my Echoes found a clue that had been meant for ANYONE in the Abyssal Guard to find while investigating Kirisa's disappearance.
It was probably the one chance that anyone had to tie Olorae to the event as more than a savior. But since Kirisa was returned to the Guard, I have heard not one peep out of any of you on an IC scale.
Folks, I'm gonna tell you this:
I am here! I am the one that has a good deal of information regarding just about everything you're investigating. Contact me! We can set up a time for you to come question me, or investigate via one of the NPCs involved.

I have just no damn idea how to investigate on something.
I think none one of knows how to except for Kirisa, and it's not like she log often these days.
What is a clue anyway? And how can someone finds it?

Back when we started the Guard, Risa said “come to me” about investigations. Because she said “come to me” I felt like it would be going behind her back to come to you. So I’ve asked for the information many times over the months. I asked a few times alone when she was about to go on vacation so we’d have something to do. I have yet to receive anything. It wasn’t till after she got back that she finally said “talk to the one running them.”
By that point my spirits were pretty low, and hearing that didn’t help. If she had it was okay to come to you earlier, things would have gotten going. But that, coupled with other reasons, has made me begin to lose interest in the game. So, yeah… it’s not that we don’t want to do investigations, it’s that we’ve never been told HOW to do them.
Anyway, I WILL be writing up a few things that Tre would have done after Risa’s abduction. I know in real life it’s been a couple weeks, but IC she would have begun them immediately.

I think i said that way before my vacation, but regardless, these are Olorae's stories. The only way to advance in them is to talk to olorae. Went I made that initial Post, it was IC, but no one ever reported to Risa IC to take on an investigation. She's have briefed them on the invesigation and sent them out. Which, then OOCly I would say, Go to Olorae. But no one ever came IC, so I gave the background links when more info was ask, and one night in clan said to start, you gotta go to the one running them. Maybe I wasnt clear what that meant. Olorae's the gamemaster. You gotta send him a tell saying I'm investigating this place, or questioning this NPC, or what should I do if I'm searching for this, and start RPing it. I apologize if I wasnt clear on that point
Witht he current kidnapping, it's the same matter. Want to find out why the blck lions were guarding Risa's prison? Question captain Sofia in Dion:
"Olorae ((I want to start questioning a character int he kidnapping case))
I'd imagine the Guard woul be running around trying to find out wh happened o Risa while she recovered, right? I'm gonna get a thread going on that, we can hop in and out of game ont he RP.
This is how they all would be handled. You cna ask how to get started on a particula investigation, or RP it out, I'll giv eyou all you need, but then, to get anywhere, the gamemaster is Olorae:
"Olorae ((I want to check out this residence in Swamp Lands form investigation #2))
The Kidnapping is a joint venture, but everything else is all him.

It’s true that most of my correspondence on this has been over PMs, but I have come to you in-game about it also. But it shouldn’t matter HOW you are contacted, as long as an effort is being made. As I have stated many times, as the second in command I SHOULD know all of this. I should be able to run things when you’re not available. If you had said to contact Olo before your vacation, it wasn’t when I was around. You’re in L2 so rarely that it’s hard get in touch IC, and when you are on you usually already have something going on. How long did it take to have that meeting with Gel, for instance? And I know that at that meeting both Gel and I expressed that we waned to know about investigations.
Doing at least some of it over PMs is also a convenience. For one, it means there is something easy to reference or even print out. One of the problems with L2 is that you can’t save the in-game mails in an editable format, the only option is to screenshot then transcribe them. For another, it means more time in game to RP other things – perhaps even ask questions about the things in the PM. On the IC side - Risa would have written documents, right? If it helps, just consider replies as copies of those documents.
So, I’m going to be writing a few things up and PMing them to you and Olo. Sorry if that’s not “IC” enough for you, but it’s how I’m going to get things started so we have more time to actually DO things in game and not just mill around discussing what can/can not be done..

well again, I apologize. I was hoping, and waiting for some ingame RP to start them.
here we go! Simple infomation to kick things off:
The most signifiant is Investigaiton #2. Allt he otehrs are related to it. It was born fromt he Church burning scenrio. I do beleive I told tre this entire story that one night on the docks of Gludin.
After Risa questioned and arrested the handels, bloodrock orcs attacked Dion, and stole them away, where they were sacrifice din Heine. the two homes were owned by Crimson Lily, but rented out to someone else. That person owns a home int he Swamp lands. To pick up this investigation, go pay him a visit.
Information to arm yourself with for questioning: Someone kidnapped by orcs was brought tot heir home. Names: Maria and Harlan Handel. Ancient Shillien alters, ones not used by the Temple were found in their home, sacrificed bodies upon them within a secret chamber. Various magical traps were set up all through their home. Why? And yes the homes were indeed registered in their name.
Related stuff: Laelyn was kidnapped in those homes. The place she was brought to was guarded by WHite Ol Mahum...who actually appeared to be men in disguise. AS i recall, a laboratory studing ol mahum anatomy was in the heine homes. Paintings by a certain famed artist of Anakim wer ein both homes, and Laelyn's "prison"
Aria of Templars was handling these matters. She may know more.
The matter of the Demon in the mirror is more difficult. I've told you what I know on that already. the demon possess holy people. (the orignal host doesnt play anymore, though I recall Olo did somethng else with it) The Mirror was also among the missing with no clues as to where it might have gone.
We'll have to speak to olo more on this one.
Risa's kidnapping: Quesiton the Black Lions. Look into the note Tregarde found.
Dead babies in Gludio and Gludin: The person running this is not currently availible in game =/
The dead girl in Dion, and getting back to the chruch arson I'll have to work on picking up agian. I forgot what we did with the rings, but Tura did something to them. Switch them or something. I never did learn what exactly he did.

IC Sharae has never met Olorae... But she's heard pleanty about her. I'm going to assume that there are previous and ongoing investigations filed somewhere in the guard hall that Shae will rummage through and start working on. The way she is right now she'd be looking for anything to keep herself occupied. I'll be writing more up about that later (when I don't have a hundred and one IRL things being chucked at me at once )
