➥ Breaking It In
cw: mentions of apparent mutilation of/violence against animals and animal death

Characters are given a briefing by Reyes Amador that the kelpie encountered in the TDM prompt has likely come from Essex Bay. They know this due to triangulating disappearances and apparent marine mammal deaths. Reyes invites people to ask them questions about this mission and about ADI. Bonnie is also present to give her opinions.



➥ Move the Goalposts
cw: kidnapping, violence, sadism

Kelpies appear and attempt to kidnap characters from Gloucester. The only safe haven from the creatures if you can't fight them is ADI HQ and ADI Housing.



➥ Curveball
cw: kidnapping, violence/violence and mutilation against apparent animals, sadism, body horror, transformation, potential for claustrophobia

Kidnapped characters awaken to find the kelpies tormenting what seems to be a seal. It is not a seal, though. The kelpies cut the animal open to reveal it's a woman who's been trapped inside the sealskin. Kidnapped characters find themselves subject to the same fate. They are wrapped in sealskin and become psychically-linked selkies, hunted by the kelpies through the dark waters of Essex Bay.



➥ Below the Belt
cw: violence/violence and mutilation against apparent animals, body horror, gore

Characters on the Essex Bay mission arrive to find clever seals in the water being chased by horrible crocodile horse monsters. The kelpies attempt to hunt, capture, and kill the selkies and their would-be rescuers.



➥ Sticky Wicket
cw: potential for severe burns/injury, pain

Characters are tasked with fetching artifacts from a rundown portion of the Docks. The artifacts, if touched, induce 3rd-degree burns and a burning sensation across one's entire body. Additionally, characters may find themselves having to deal with some of the young punks around town who have claimed this part of the Docks for themselves and want what's in that box.

➥ Caduceus Clay
Canon: Critical Role
Housing: Bonnie's
Permissions: HERE

Breaking It In - Caduceus will likely be in the back with Bonnie, if only because he's rather tall and there's no need to block anyone else's view. And, maybe, he's watching people. He will be volunteering to help. He's got experience working with groups on missions and is content to play a support role rather than a leadership role. He's here to keep the group together.

Move the Goalposts - Open to having Caduceus defend someone that's running away or otherwise rescuing those who need it and want to avoid kidnapping. He can deal some decent damage, hopefully enough to make the kelpies think twice.

Below the Belt - He will definitely try to talk to the seals if he's in this group. Whether or not they can communicate back won't actually stop him. The kelpies, meanwhile, look like some kind of aberration and he's down to fight them if they engage.

Sticky Wicket - Caduceus will need a partner that can remember the combination if it isn't written down. That being said, he has absolutely no interest in touching the Thing In The Box and is unlikely to be tempted. If he's with someone who is, he'll attempt to heal the burns, possibly with a mild lecture about not touching things. He's got some little tricks that might intimidate the hell out of some punks, too, as he'd rather scare them than fight them.

he's the kind of person that does something like 'touch the object and get hurt' many times just to make sure it's the same result each time, so he could use it

Mercy's getting selkie-fied, and I would love for a panicked seal girl to try to communicate with Cad.

I love it, he'll help you seal friend!

He'll also be very concerned about the state you're in... and those weird things over there.

Are you planning to do a TL with Cad? I can tag in! Otherwise, I can see about setting something up for him.
