[ a few weeks post-LA]

Our Knights have returned from scouting out the area where Keijen Blade ascended to godhood. What they've seen is certainly troubling on a number of levels. We know that there are survivors in the area, who have bunkered down to protect themselves. What they are facing is an influx of evil - forces that are otherworldly in their abilities, perhaps even demonic in nature.

Also troubling is that the United States military has allied itself with users of dark magic to combat this threat, and holds the line, allowing no entrance into the area. They have proven that we cannot trust them as allies in this fight.

Furthermore, we have picked up reports that monsters of all types are being drawn to the site, often crossing the country in packs to reach it and leaving trails of devastation in their wake.

We see no choice but to take this evil head-on. We are relocating our base of operations to America, where we need to operate in complete secrecy, given the United States' recent declaration of War on Shadowkind. We will be working there on three goals: finding a way to infiltrate the line with an army of Knights, to face this evil head-on, protecting citizens from the monsters that are gathering to this area, and liberating what Shadowkind we can from the American internment camps.

This is an incredibly dangerous mission, the scope of which we have not seen before, even since our part in the second World War. But we need all hands on deck if we hope to have any measure of success in this war.

We are arranging magical transportation to a secured location near Las Vegas. We will be staying in what is effectively an abandoned casino, and Knights will be required to follow strict protocols in order to keep the location a secret. We will work to preserve magical wards that create the illusion that no one is there but the greatest defense we have is your adherence to preserving that secrecy.

The fates have aligned to bring us to this moment. Take only what you require to survive. We will not be able to readily return here until this ends.

[ within a couple weeks of LA ]

It seems that the dark tidings don't stop coming, and likely won't for some time. On a recent mission, we lost three Knights: Erica Reyes, Sara Lance, and Wanda Maximoff. The influx of evil creatures that seems to be flooding towards LA in the wake of Blade's ascension includes beings that are not to be trifled with. I hope this serves as a reminder to us all of what we're facing - and what we are tasked to protect the people of this world from.

There will be a service held in their memory, but there were no remains recovered.

♬ annihilation - a perfect circle

[ it's been only a couple of days since the events in Los Angeles, and just as Failboat is heading overseas, and the Section Heads are putting together their plans for a recon mission, a special address from the president of the United States, Donald J. Trump, is announced.

within an hour, he appears, the message going out on TV and internet streams everywhere. ]

By this time, most have heard of the terrible attack happening in Los Angeles right now. There have been a lot of questions, many questions, about what is going on, and what we're doing about it. Believe me, our boys have been on the ground since this has began, some of our best generals, very experienced generals, trying to get a feel for how we can stop this thing and save the people of California. California - beautiful state, LA is a fabulous city - and we will not leave those people to the mercy of whatever evil things are going after them right now.

What we can tell you is that this was an attack on American soil by a powerful Shadowkind, one who is summoning up allies from the other Shadow in our country. Attacks have not been limited to LA. In fact, there have been multiple accounts of violent incidents by these Shadowkind spreading across our country in the months leading up to this. Since the first days of my campaign, I have been pointing out the need to find a way to vet these foreign invaders who appear in our streets, many of them murderers, monsters, armed to the teeth from the second they set foot here.

One thing has been made very clear from all this - these Shadowkind are dangerous. They are not our friends, they are not here to bring peace. We have been infiltrated by enemies from the inside out, by these non-human creatures who have gotten into positions of power in our country, into positions where they can learn valuable intelligence, into positions where they are trusted with our women and children.

That is why as of today, the United States government is declaring a War on Shadowkind. We will be working with our best researchers to find a way to stop the tide of this invasion, and detaining all recognized Shadowkind until they can be evaluated and vetted fully by your government. All Shadowkind are asked to report to their local registration areas, which can be located on the White House website. Failure to report will result in immediate incarceration, and subject to trial.

Now is a time to show our enemies what we are made of and Make America Great Again.

[ with that, he finishes up, to the chaotic mixed reaction of the attendant press. it is announced that there will be no press conference until later that day. ]

[ it's in the small hours of the morning the day after LA that solace broadcasts the following message: ]

Your section heads have met with the Knights who returned alive from Los Angeles, as well as debriefing Jack Chessing on what occurred. We can at this time confirm that Keijen Blade found a way to kill his own father, the drow god Malaak'a, after breaking the seal on his divine prison and unleashing him in this world. Blade has, somehow, absorbed at least some of the powers of his father's previous domain.

Wynn himself remained behind, engaging in singular combat with Blade, while Sir Chessing gave an order for the rest to retreat.

We have no way of knowing whether Wynn is still alive, and therefore must carry on as though he were not, to face this threat. All communications have been cut off with the LA area, and so we will be assembling a team to attempt to go in on foot for reconnaissance, before deciding how best to next proceed. It is essential that all Knights recognize that this is now our driving mission. All other matters must be put aside for the time being. We will not force anyone to go into the field, given the deadly nature of what we are no likely up against, but we will insist upon support from all Knights, adherence to orders, and extensive training from even those stationed here at the castle, in case this evil spreads and becomes something that none of us can avoid. Those who are not willing to do this will not be offered the protections of this castle - we have dealt with the sudden revelation of traitors within our own walls, agents of the Nine Hells themselves, and those who will not take action to work with us, even in a support capacity, cannot be trusted with access to our resources and intelligence on this matter.

This situation is, quite simply, all hands on deck. If you will not stand with us, you are choosing to actively forsake your place in this Knighthood. We understand that some will make this choice willingly, to go be with family or loved ones outside these walls. If this is the case, we will not begrudge your choice, but must take the necessary precautions to protect our members and our mission.

On the note of these traitors in our midst, it is also forbidden to have private contact with Elena Gilbert, or Desmond Descant, the identified agents of Hell.

We have reason to believe, as well, that the villain known as the Mind Master, an associate of Keijen Blade's and a powerful psionic demon, may have extended a level of mental influence over some of the agents who have been deeply involved in the mission to halt this from occurring over the last five years. Because of the possibility of this, those Knights will be removed from action for the time being, until Blade is stopped and she destroyed. We cannot risk the damage they may otherwise do, against their own wills, and would spare them that psychological damage as well.

Unfortunately, this includes our own Sir Chessing. The Section Heads have voted myself and Sir Hasmed into the position of acting Dragon's Claws. Should we discover in our intelligence gathering that Wynn is still alive, we will hold those positions until such time as Blade and the Mind Master are defeated, their influence broken, and restore leadership of this Knighthood to Wynnefalshond and Sir Chessing. For the time being, however, there is evidence that either of them may have been swayed in some way, and thus we must act in the best interests of completing this mission.

Training will begin in the next few days, overseen by both Sir Ironsides and Sir Wellington, as well as the Hellsing militia, who will be granting us the benefit of their military experience. You are expected to report daily for combat training beginning at 0600, training location assignments to be announced before then. You are to treat the orders of Hellsing commander Peter Ferguson with due respect and dignity. The Hellsing forces have extensive experience in fighting evil monsters, and we have partnered with Sir Integra Hellsing in this endeavor. They will be arriving in the next twenty-four hours.

These are dark times, indeed. But now, more than ever, it is important that we stand together, put aside all grudges, and rise to the occasion for which each of us has sworn a life-binding oath.

You have sworn to defend this Knighthood, and for that, you must be willing to train to stand in defense of it.

You have sworn to protect the weak, and as such, must become strong enough to stand between them and evil.

You have sworn not to recoil before our enemies, and as such, you must not let fear overcome you and tempt you to run from this burden.

You have sworn to make war against injustice, and for that, you must prepare yourself for the very real war that we must now wage.

You have sworn to never lie, and for this, must be honest and straightforward in your dealings with us and remain true to the oath you have made.

You have sworn to be generous, and never will more be asked of you than to lend every part of yourself to this mission.

And you have sworn to be everywhere - and always - the champion of the right and the good, against injustice and evil. We face now great injustice, and greater evil. Without you, without our champions, we will not triumph. But standing together, we will make this right.

May the gods stand with us as well.

[ with a 44 diplomacy check, it is almost impossible to deny the swelling power of his words, the surprising conviction and quiet passion that lies beneath them. sir solace is often the silent presence behind the knighthood's healers, but now it is suddenly apparent to many why he is one of the leaders hand-selected by wynn as well. ]

[ Private to Failboat ]

We regret that these are the measures that we must take, but expect that you, who have seen the evil that this woman can enact, will understand better than any why we must take no risks in this. What you have sacrificed, and given, for this mission will not be dismissed. We honor the work that you have done thus far. But for now, we ask that you stand aside. We will not require you to leave the castle, but will ask that you continue to participate in routine training, should the castle be besieged, or things become so dire that we require you to join us in action, despite the risks. But you will be excluded from all intelligence regarding our movements, and not allowed in the field.

We hope, as you do, that these measures will be short-lived.

[ the following message comes in hasmed's distinctive gravelly voice many hours after the concert chaos breaks out, before Failboat arrives back at the castle. ]

As most of you are now aware, there has been an incident in Los Angeles, during a mission regarding Keijen Blade, which Wynn himself was a part of. We have confirmed the deaths of several Knights - Sir Felicity Braddock, Sir Lydia Martin, Sir Alice Lincoln, Sir Abigail Hobbs, and Sir Alanna. Myrilandel Odair is currently in some sort of catatonic condition. Early reports from Sir Chessing indicate that a ritual was conducted that unleashed a god upon this world from the Shadow World - a god who was slain by his own son. Such an act has no doubt created a site of extreme magical desecration, the effects of which have never been seen in this world.

Reports also suggest that Wynn is not returning with the team that was sent, although his present circumstances remain unknown. For the time, the Section Heads will convene with Sir Chessing upon the team's arrival to learn what we can, and decisions will be reached about the steps we are to take next as an organization, versus this great evil.

Other information has come to light to suggest that there may be some among our number that we cannot trust. Due to this, it has been decided that certain emergency conditions will be put into place until further discussion may be had among leadership. Certain magical protections will be put into place on the castle to further shield us from outside attacks. More importantly, however, we are recalling all active Knights to the castle itself, and requiring that no one leave until a decision is reached about how to proceed. Those who do not heed this recall risk being excommunicated from sensitive mission details going forward, and will not be allowed back in our doors. This is a temporary measure, but a necessary one, as we work to ensure that our Knighthood is not compromised in this delicate time.

Again, all Knights are to return to the castle immediately, and remain here until word is given otherwise.

[ meanwhile, back at the ranch...

the keijen blade concert was televised, for anyone curious to watch, although many of the failboaters had cautioned (including a sign taped to the TV by kat) to keep it on mute, lest they get brainwashed by blade's voice.

the cameras did not last through the entire thing, but what they did see was... disturbing. at one point, in the giant concert hall, a large glass pane lifted between blade and the audience, as he sang a taunting number, at the end of which, the ceiling split open pouring boiling hot lava onto the hundreds of concert attendees, who were boiled alive. Some might know that they had friends away on that mission, friends who had said they were going to be in the crowd as back-up. The last images broadcast before cuts to a live newcast trying to make sense of what was happening as the cameras melted seemed to confirm the deaths of anyone inside.

The panicked reporters spoke of unusual sightings in the area, a horribly darkening sky above the concert hall. Monsters appearing out of nowhere. Chaos.

Los Angeles is burning.

[Dipper's been a knight for a few months and it's been... great. Really great. But it's not perfect. For one very specific reason.

His Pathfinder group is all the way out in New York and when he ditched to go become an actual knight as opposed to playing one with dice, he left the game as well. They tried skyping him in for a little while, but well, timezones. It was pretty difficult. And he misses it.

He can't be the only one, though, so he sends out a message, hoping there are some like-minded people around. There have to be other nerds here, right?]

Sooo does anyone play Dungeons and Dragons here? Well, more specifically, I'm looking for Pathfinder, but if there's a group going on already, I could even settle for 5e.

[Which. Gross.]

If there's not a group going on... anyone interested in starting one up? Don't worry, I can GM. It's really fun, I promise! The math isn't nearly as hard as you think it'll be.

This afternoon, Sir Jeanne Gar was abducted from downtown London, and despite our best efforts to halt the attempt, was taken to an undisclosed location by a woman called the Mind Master. This same woman worked with Dimitris Sarandis and his fellow cultists, and participated in the attack on our castle this winter.

This woman is extremely dangerous, and I advise anyone who thinks they have a means to locate Sir Gar to work directly with myself and Sir Hasmed to do so. I will not risk losing more Knights to these fanatics.

We will find her. For now, remain vigilant, and I would advise you all to be cautious when venturing outside of the castle.

That is all.

Today, your fellow Knights captured Dimitris Sarandis, a man who has been an enemy of this Knighthood for over a decade, and who only recently brought that fight to our own doorstep.

You all deserve to hear that on this day, Sarandis has finally met his end.

There are many more like him, still out in the world, seeking to finish what he has started, and to that end, our work is not finished. But on this day, we celebrate a great victory against tyranny and oppression.

Posted by: daredtobelieve

[Arriving at the end of the week of the attacks, the simple letter and envelope bears no indication of where it came from, but the handwriting on both is unmistakably Helen's.]

My dearest Ashley,

I should start by apologizing. By now, I'm sure you're sick with worry. There many things surrounding my departure that I'm afraid I can't go into, but I can tell you that I am safe and that it hasn't been my intention to worry you or anyone else.

The work we do, the work we've always done has a way of leading us to strange and unexpected opportunities. Right now, I feel as though this is where I need to be. I do not intend for this to be the last we speak. But, for now, I cannot disclose my location. I fear that too many within our organization wouldn't understand my decisions. You may not either. I wouldn't blame you for that. But I hope that you will trust me enough to know that I wouldn't do something like this if I didn't feel as though it were important.

Please let the others know that I'm alright- Gus and Rose especially. My squires Dean and Alisha as well. If Wynn sees fit to reassign them, I wouldn't blame him. Though, honestly Dean has more than proven himself and could easily be promoted if Wynn deemed it appropriate. I'll leave that to his discretion, though.

Ashley, I love you. I hope that you never find reason to doubt that. And I hope that you can forgive me for making a choice that you may not agree with.

All my love,

- H

She'd rather call Faith on the phone, but considering she's never actually spoken with her before she figures a text to open the lines of communication are her best option.]

Hey, this is Malina Harvey of the Dragon's Fire.

[ everyone who currently has a drakenet phone in their possession that is turned on would abruptly spring to life with a video announcement on speakerphone :')

the video stars everyone's favorite super~~-aryan-~~villain dimitris sarandis, deposed prime minister of andres isle, in what appears to be the cockpit of some kind of giant tank. weird.

he looks and sounds pretty pleased with himself, to be honest. ]

I'm certain all of you have had a chance to notice something is amiss by now, but if that weren't strikingly clear, I'm here to spell things out:

You all took my home from me by force, destroyed everything I had sought to build, tore down or stole my research and stripped me of my resources. Luckily, I had some spirited away, and I've found the Knighthood is far from short on enemies.

Turnabout, as they say, is fair play.

[ he cranks on a lever and outside there's another loud whizzing sound as a rocket goes streaking out to strike the second floor dragon's light bedroom wing for 81 structural damage, tearing a giant gaping hole in the front of the building which rocks again from the impact. dimitris closes his eyes in blissful appreciation as he listens to the impact, as if enjoying a fine symphony, before he opens them again with a sneering smile. ]

I'm sure you're all waiting for Daddy Wynn to run and save you. I'm afraid you'll find he's a bit occupied. Such a pity.

A pity, that is, that I won't get to see his face when he comes back to find this place a smoking crater littered with your corpses. Ah, well. You can't have everything.

[ with that, he grins insanely, and then the feed cuts out. replies can be sent to that video channel, but any attempts to call literally anyone else on the drakenet phone right now result only in a three dog night song playing on repeat. ]
