Title: [GM EVENT] Kor Neka Mansa
Post by: iridia on November 09, 2014, 08:23:20 am
House of
Kor Neka Mansa
Opening Soon!

(Saturday, November 15, 20:00 GMT)
Ojaveda - Dsar Kore

beneath the flyer you see a stamp that could be either a skull or an enkidukai head


What is this all about?
Kor Neka Mansa will be opening their (illegal) gambling establishment in Dsar Kore. Paaja Lojh, is the leader to the group of rogue enkidukai behind this establishment. She has been roaming the plaza in the past week trying to recruit players who would like to volunteer as bartender, guard etc.

As Kor Neka Mansa is an event that will be running for the next 3 to 4 weeks, we won't be able to do it without some help. So if you are interested, send Paajah or Iridia a /tell or join #ps-events on irc
IC it may bring some risks to associate yourself with KNM; like having the guards breatghing down your neck, be arrested and put into jail etc.
 
Besides recruiting volunteers she is also inviting players to visit her establishment, as the establishment isn't legal she is spreading a secret phrase that you will need to gain access to the establishment. Ofcourse we are counting on it that you will spread this among your IG friends & guildmates ;) so don't hesitate to do so...

Anyway, I'm looking forward to see you all at the KNM house & thanks to those with whom I rp'ed in the last few days already.
More to come soon!

Ooooh. Beware! If this places is rougher than Brados with it's knock down drag out fights, then expect more than a few swollen lips and broken bones. And whatever you do, don't renege and pay your debts!

Should Illysia get wind of how disreputable a place there is in Dsar Kore, I suspect that she will spend much time pooh poohing it to the people that come to the tavern. ;)

Because I needed to catch up on some sleep after all the RP'ing in the last week :D we decided to postpone the opening to Saturday. At 20:00 GMT Kor Neka Manse WILL open their doors!!!

We also have a nice extra for the occasion, so if you haven't uncovered the secret phrase yet? Now is the time to do so ;)

Last Saturday we opened the doors of Kor Neka Mansa for the first time. Ofcourse it didnt go as we had planned, but in the end is was a whole lot of fun. So much that when I logged with Paajah on Sunday it inmediately was the topic of discussion in Gossip. So around 0:30 GMT we opened again and soon enough we were playing 'Rogue Roulette', 'Clacker Jack' and 'Three Pods' until 06:00 GMT in the morning...

On Monday night we had another succesful night and most important loads of fun!

But then the following happened......


The guards noticed something is going on and they heard a rumors that KNM lets people gamble for large amounts of tria on rigged games. Will they start to investigate Kor Neka Mansa or do we get away with our shady business  :o

Once again thanks to the volunteers and the other GM's for helping me make this event possible!!! And also a big thanks to all the players that have visited KNM or that we have RP'ed with in preparation of the event.. And even a big thanks to those who spoke to the guards!!!
We are certainly having a lot of fun running this event and hope you have been enjoying it as well....

See ya soon @ Kor Neka Mansa in Dsar Kore!

[Due to issues with the forum there may be some gaps in the story]
Guards continue to investigate Kor Neka Mansa
The guards have once again asked for help after the arrest of Kridore, a former staff member of the establishment. Once he finally was convinced that cooperation was the better option he started opening up.
He gave us 2 names to work with; for starters Filch, who according to him is the brains behind the operation. The second name he gave us is Shillek who appears to be more trusted by Paajah and seems to take care of lots of business deals for her. Kridore told us he is momentarily off traveling to manage some of these business deals, giving the guards a great opportunity to send in some more informants...
And these informants have no simple task as they are given a Metamorphosis potion that will temporarily transform them to look just like Shillek

In the meantime Paajah is working on a plan to evade the guard investigation..

You may have noticed that KNM has been gone for some days now. This was because I got sick.. :(
I am not exactly sure when we will be opening again, as this happened mostly at 01:30AM for my timezone (and we easily could go on til 5AM or 6AM on some nights), BUT I am hoping we will soon be able to continue the events and opening nights!

Thnx all :)

Hoping to have KNM back on track somewhere this week and open the doors again :D

On Thursday at 0:30 GMT (so for most of you still wednesday) I want to do another attempt for that OOC meeting at the KNM house.
Everyone who has volunteered, has been involved in some way or would like to be more active in the events; come and share ideas, ask questions etc

Hoping to see you all thursday!

(For the ones who cant make it; I will make logs available and post a summary here.

Meeting KNM
We looked back on how the events have gone so far; which is better than I could have hoped for.
Noted that KNM hasn't been all that obvious about being bad/shady and gambling being illegal. To which I'd like to point out that you also have to imagine how an establishment like this is organized for example where do the prizes come from? Are they working with known rogue organizations? etc.
These sides of the events haven't been specifically worked out by us, but I'm sure over time things could become more clear.
Also we will work on that with actions IG and if you feel you're calling as a baddie.... Well, lets just say you're invited to join in on the fun ;)

The other topic on the agenda was the continuation of KNM, in a more permanent form. A suggestion was to make the establishment legal. Personally I don't want to go that direction with the events. I think over a longer period it'll be more interesting.
With that came also the question, will the 'good guys' or the 'bad guys' win? With the investigations going on it's one thing to say the events will last, but at some point, it's game over... Or does it have to be? Several options were suggested; which I'm not going to give away at this time.
Just know that both sides will have plenty of opportunity to take part in the events.

For the moment it seems that the investigation has mostly gone on between 20:00 GMT and 23:00 GMT and the opening hours for KNM have mostly been after 0:30 GMT.. For anyone involved I'd like to point out that we want to try to mix it up a bit and the times may be changed.

Last time on Kor Neka Mansa...
Lots and lots of betrayal, Paajah's concerns about Azeron have been confirmed and after he also stole some important documents. While Azeron made sure to get away from the establishment Paajah found out about the teft. Soon after she let anyone present know to reward well to get those documents back and Azeron out of the picture.
Not long after this incident the guards received a financial record kept at the gambling establishment and a notebook. Also they were notified that one of their informants may be in danger...

Want to help the investigation? Help out at Kor Neka Mansa or just visit, keep an eye on gossip and this topic for announcements!

I kinda want to address this a bit. Please note that I thoroughly enjoy what this role play is doing and I'm thoroughly appreciative of what the GMs are doing in generating role play. I haven't even gotten terribly involved from a first person perspective, but I've noted the gossip and such in conversations and it's a blast.

That said, I really like the so-called "moral ambiguity" here. I highly approve of the fact that KNM is run in a more organized fashion. I like the fact that they aren't condoning violence (within their facilities.) The fact of the matter is that over the years I've seen plenty of crazed psycho villains (and they can be fun, don't get me wrong, I've played them,) but not enough mediated, organized crime. Not every "criminal" has to be a serial killer. Someone might be perfectly fine with trafficking contraband or robbing a place, but have qualms about torture, murder, and so forth. Truth is, many people like to flounder in the grey. Things aren't always simple black and white, and it's been fun especially for my character that usually investigates things, Evirea, who can't decide where her beliefs fall in the situation. On top of that, criminals who do not want to draw attention to themselves and do not want to risk being crystalled would know logically that not partaking in breaking the High Laws will decrease the chances of both.

Basically what I'm saying is good job making a more ambiguous plot. I really like watching it unfold and hope to take part more in the future.  :thumbup:

Feel free to post here anytime, certainly with all those compliments. I must say that the amount of positive reactions I have head and support for this event is incredible.

Mariana, you couldn't have put it in better words. Black and white, good and bad simplify your understanding of a situation but certainly limit your view and possibilities. Too make an event like KNM last as long as it has and with our plans to make it last even longer we need some complexity and mystery and maybe even more important the opportunity for each player to think about how their character thinks and feels about certain things.


After Paajah discovered that Azeron had been informing the guards about KNM via a letter Snowbud gave her, she didn't want to create a scene.
Unfortunately while she stepped outside to inform Piephil, inside Azeron and a few others were looking through the personal items of the staff. When Paajah sees that there are strangers in the private area and Azeron had followed her outside, clearly not tending to his guard duties she is all too happy kra decides to leave early.
Soon after Azeron has left one of the younger staff, Baciko, shows up and starts to run some games. Around closing time he wants to fill out the financial record that the establishment keeps, but it is nowhere to be found...
Her newly hired bartender tells her that he saw Azeron not only take the finincial record, he has also Morrquea's notebook.
At this point Paajah no longer cared and she offered a great reward for whoever made sure Azeron and the evidence he stole wouldn't be a problem anymore.

Baciko also wanted to contribute and recruited Kisoji for the job. Whatever happened next is unclear, but in the end 2 others died and Azeron, although heavily wounded got away.

(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4696712/psforum/event-KNM/event-KNM-53.jpg) (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4696712/psforum/event-KNM/event-KNM-54.jpg)

Some days later Paajah meets with Snowbud at one of the warehouses. Although Snowbud was the one to betray Azeron, she was now pleading with Paajah not to do her friend any more harm. In exchange for the evidence kra had taken Paajah is prepared to spare Azeron. At least for the moment...

However these documents are already in the possesion of the Guards. Even if the documents are brought back to Paajah, copies have been made.
...
Around the same time Kisoji shows up at KNM to claim his reward. Baciko had told him that KNM was looking for new guards.
Ofcourse would hiring him lead to problems, this didn't stop Paajah from hiring Kisoji anyway.
Later that night, the first issues occured. At the end of the night he decided to go after Mishka
Baciko and Piephil went after them and Paajah followed soon too make clear she didn't want any of this going on on the roof of KNM.
While Piephil prepared to take Kisoji down, Kisoji managed to kill Baciko only to follw himself minutes after.

In the meantime Paajah is working on a plan to evade the guard investigation..

While things escalated at KNM with Kisoji, Paajah also had a special visitor. Gonger had taken his potion of Metamorphosis and took on the challenge to try and get information from Paajah.
'Shillek' and Paajah talked about a businesscontact named Vernont. 'Shillek' kept reassuring her that he would make sure she would get the best deal possible, however what this 'deal' was about was never mentioned.

(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4696712/psforum/event-KNM/event-KNM-56.jpg)

Besides information about this Vernont, Gonger could tell the guards about the following;
A girl called "The Snitch" wants an alliance with Paajah aswell.
KNM "acquired" a new guard, not unknow to the law : a certain Kisoji.
They are doing huge business in KNM, keeping all the money from the bets and also give items as reward when gamblers win, never money. He is sure that they must makes gain by millions because of this.

Gonger got away without raising suspicions, there were a few small moments that she noticed slight differences but with the chaos of the establishment around them she hardly the time to even think about this.


We still have 2 impersonations to go..
Gonger's rp and impersonation of Shillek was done very well... Looking forward to see more Shilleks visit soon :)

Gonger also tried to influence Paajah against her potential allies:
When Paajah asked whether Vernont agrees to the deal, Gonger replied that Vernont is as yet undecided, probably stalling for time because he wants a better part on the bargain.
And after talking to The Snitch, he remarked to Paajah that he wonders whether The Snitch's aim is not an alliance, but a takeover, since right now she does not have much to offer.
Finally, Gonger found some items that belong to Shillek (his helmet, and a hide he uses as blanket) and gave them to the guard Mogrrim. They might be of use later. For example, what would the real Shillek say if his missing helmet is found in The Snitch's camp?


We still have 2 impersonations to go..
Gonger's rp and impersonation of Shillek was done very well... Looking forward to see more Shilleks visit soon :)

Thanks for the compliment, which I gladly return to all others (Paajah, the KNM staff, the clients, the guards). I had a blast RPing this, and am looking forward to more of this!

Great work!

Last week we started  of with Dilihin's impersonation of Shillek. Since he had seen the real Shillek only days before and had heard  that he would be visiting Gugrontid the chance Shillek would show up in Ojaveda was very slim. However he counted on the fact that Paajah would be at KNM, this was not the case, instead Morrquea seemed to be in charge.
This made it a lot harder to get information that would actually help the investigation. Even though Paajah had left instructions for Morrquea, she had really no idea what Paajah was up to.

(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4696712/psforum/event-KNM/event-KNM-62.jpg) (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4696712/psforum/event-KNM/event-KNM_Dilihin_Shillek_01.jpg)
(Shillek at the Plaza) (Dilihin as Shillek)

He did make some obeservations, not only didi he notice the lack of visitors it also seemed more empty than usual.
Also Kisoji was no longer working at the establishment and it seemed Paajah had no intentions to find a replacement.

The next day Dilihin returned, this time as himself and he maneged to get Paajah to hire him for behind the bar.
That day Paajah was also approached by Mishka who had some suspicions about Shillek and she claimed to have seen Gonger morph back to his dwarven-self.
After all that had happened Paajah agreed on hiring Mishka to find out more about this. Starting inmediately by asking Anjabi, Shillek's sister, all kinds of questions. Before Anjabi left Paajah and Mishka told her to send a message to Shillek that a mysterious fenki would like to meet him.

(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4696712/psforum/event-KNM/event-KNM-63.jpg) (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4696712/psforum/event-KNM/event-KNM-65.jpg)

Besides receiving a strange message from an unknown person named 'Evirea' the evening was quite uneventful.

That would all change the next day when it was Tuatanach's turn to impersonate Shillek. This time Paajah was running KNM again and even some games at the Roulette where there were some lucky winners that night.

(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4696712/psforum/event-KNM/event-KNM_Tuathanach_Shillek_02.jpg) (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4696712/psforum/event-KNM/event-KNM-71.jpg)
(Tuathanach as Shillek)

However, as soon as 'Shillek' entered everything changed; Mishka who was there to welcome him with her flirting (she was all over him) and a 'Spiked Twisted Emerald' (as if a Twisted Emerald really needs that).
However Shillek wasn't very interested in any of her attention nor the Twisted Emerald and Mishka really was not happy about this.
This is why she turned to rougher measures and moments later she smacked Tuatanach against his head with a mug and he went down. Even Paajah was thrown of guard by this and if it hadn't been for Sasheyra there'd be no rope to tie him up.
As Paajah started to tie him up she quickly managed to hand the rope to another fenki (Nimemoe) who finished tying Tuatanach up.
In the meantime no one seemed to really have noticed Dilihin was sending messages by Groffel; those messages turned out to be to the guards.

It was when they had just taken a package from Tuatanach that the guards made their entry in the establishment. Paajah's reaction was quick and effective, she casted a spell and moments later she had disappeared through a secret door.

Lile, Syenna, Dilihin, Sasheyra and Mishka were arrested and put in jail where they all were interrogated seperately. They all received a chance to make a deal for inmediate release, all they needed to do was tell the guards what they knew about KNM and the escaped leader Paajah.

Lile and Syenna, who were simply at the wrong place at the wrong time could give very little info and the guards realised they were of no value for the investigation. They were free to go.
Dilihin was recognized as one of the special informants and after promising to deliver his report asap he was free to go as well.

Now it were Sasheyra and Mishka who would be interrogated, which lead to some difficult conversations as both seemed reluctant to cooperate. If you'd take their word for it, there was no wrong doing by Paajah.. At all and if there had been, they were awfully vague about that. If it weren't for Sasheyra's statement that Paajah paid very well you'd think the volunteers were lining up to do her dirty work.

Mishka's refusal to cooperate got her some extra jailtime Sasheyra was released after her statement about the payments.

The following day Mogrrim (Guard) gathered a group of volunteers to help find Paajah. They searched in Ojaveda and soon found Paajah hiding in a tent. Also they soon found that there was a second appearance of Paajah..
As they chased Paajah around in Ojaveda they finally managed to do enough damage to make it impossible for her to keep the illusion up.

(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4696712/psforum/event-KNM/event-KNM-72.jpg)
(Paajah in hiding)

When they finally manage to get her into a corner there is a short exchange of spells and suddenly Paajah's wounds weaken her so much she morphs and everyone finds themselves looking at a Akkaio menki with a scruffy appearance, a total opposite of Paajah's normal appearance.
There was quite a bit of confusion from that moment on; but Mogrrim went ahead with the arrest and she or he was in jail moments later.
Just before Paajah disappeared to jail 'The Snitch' showed up and she had a message for Paajah about Azeron. This inmediately raised suspicions with the guards and she was sent to jail as well.

(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4696712/psforum/event-KNM/event-KNM-73.jpg)
(Paajah or not?)

In jail there was quite a bit of chaos, since Mishka was still there Paajah made some suggestions that it wasn't Mishka who had beaten up Tuathanach and got out a Mind glyph as if to make a point.
In the meantime 'The Snitch' managed to get a box to Paajah that apparently stolen from KNM by Azeron. Paajah was quite happy to have this box back as it contains an amulet that was in his/her pack for a very long time.

Since 'The Snitch' was not responsible for the assault on Azeron or the killings that preceeded the assault.
Also Mishka was released...

Paajah is currently in jail awaiting trial.. Or at least who we believe to be Paajah

I have to admit this is a very confusing read for me, since both of the characters mentioned that are "mine" did neither of those things.  ;D

Snitch makes sense, I suppose. Evirea's message, though? How odd! I guess we'll have to wait and see!

In my defense, 1) he had it coming, 2) he refused my drink, 3) he was spying on us, 4) I didn't know he was spying on us and 5) I don't recall there being a law forbidding to beat up people in a barfight, albeit one-sided.

Kridore Released from Prison

(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4696712/psforum/event-KNM/event-KNM-42.jpg)
Kor Neka Mansa staffmember Kridore has been released from prison by the Octarchal Guard. After months being locked up after assaulting a citizen and disturbing the public under influence he seems to get off easy now his boss Paajah has been captured.

(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4696712/psforum/event-KNM/event-KNM_oja_bazaar-01.png)
A staffmember [Morrquea] from Kor Neka Mansa was seen at the Ojaveda Bazaar where she opened up a booth to play a gambling game. While she was rushing away after hearing someone call for guards, she mentioned something about "...more games in our den outside Ojaveda...".

Paajah's trial will be held soon at the courthouse in Hydlaa. But is it Paajah who has been arrested or is it just a sneaky trick?

Post by: iridia on March 30, 2015, 06:47:58 am
The last time most will have heard about Paajah or Kor Neka Mansa was most likely when she was supposed to stand trial. Due to all the confusion at the time about the identity of the menki Amidison decided the trial could not be held.
However she did not release the menki who then said his name was Bhurrash, but decided that he would remain in jail until the real Paajah was caught.

Morrquea, who took Paajah's place at Kor Neka Mansa was devastated to hear this news, luckily she already was in contact with some old friends and invited them to their new den.

Plans were made, schemes prepared and new allies recruited....


"Taulim wakes up in the grass between a few houses not for from the Barracks, his head hurts and he has no idea what he is doing there. Confused he rubs his head as he tries to remember what happened to him. While his head pounds he tries to retrace his steps and after a few minutes he remembers the cloaked fenki. She gave him a bottle that he happily accepted because he was thirsty at the time, the last thing he remembers doing is taking some good sips from that bottle before heading off on patrol...

Hours had passed and the other Guards had returned to the barracks after fighting the Azure mage. Clearly something was wrong, soon it became clear to Taulim why that fenki had been so kind to him..."


The next day the Guards are seen at the East Gate and the East Passage, they are stopping citizens and are looking for anyone possibly connected to Kor Neka Mansa. Curious citizens are told that Bhurrash and another, not identified, member of Kor Neka Mansa have escaped from jail...

Is this another scheme intended to confuse everyone or was Bhurrash really Paajah after all?
