Sit-Rep

A crew of Trandoshan pirates, led by the vicious and opportunistic Kosst Rissokt, was recently caught attempting to loot khyber crystals from the swamps of Uskil in the heart of the Brotherhood’s seat of power. While the majority of the perpetrators of this ill-advised venture were summarily dispatched, Rissokt himself fled in the chaos, retreating into the marshy, ruin-pocked wetlands.

The Envoy Corp is dispatching kill-teams to eliminate this trespasser before he can attempt to flee offworld with his stolen horde, or worse, the knowledge of the Brotherhood’s capital planet. You must find and terminate the target with extreme prejudice.

Be warned, Rissokt is an experienced hunter, not some fleeing vagabond, a cunning tactician, survivalist, and a dangerous fighter not to be underestimated. He’s known to lay down traps for unwary pursuers, setting ambushes, and using the marshy terrain to conceal his tracks. The twisting waterways, deserted mines, and Dark Side ruins of Uskil are full of places to hide, and may present dangers all their own to those who step uncarefully

Objective

Members will form small teams and designate one member to be the leader. The leader is simply responsible for creating, finalizing, and submitting the session to the competition text entry box. They are not expected to be the DM unless they want to.

Your RP's story does not have to be complete to qualify. It can be as short as 1 post of 100 words from each participant, or multiple long-worded posts. Obviously those that pursue a fully completed story will place higher than those that do not. The goal, however, is to tell a cooperative story with your team before the end of the competition on MAY 28TH.

Participants are welcome to use a dice-based system of their choosing in their OOC thread to help with narrative decision making. It is not required, though.

[Optional] Pre-made module/map in Google Slides

• Teams must have a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 4 members.
  
• Each Team’s RP must be named using the following convention: “Team Name - [Envoy Corps]” where “Team Name” is a unique name for your group, but can be anything you want. It could be as creative as Pink Pony Club or it could be as simple as Team 1.
• Members must post a minimum of 100 words for participation credit. Any words short of this will still count towards future Envoy Marks and CIs, however.
• Posts may be edited or deleted at any time, but doing so may disrupt the flow of the run on and negatively impact your Team’s score.
  
• RPs will be processed as “DM-less”, meaning all members involved will be given credit towards the RP Player trophy. as well as CIs, Credits, and XP.
• Snapshots are not required, but are advised for Characters that have a Character Sheets and Loadouts to help with the storytelling process.
• You are free to write and create as many NPCs as you’d like.

How To Submit

• When the RP is completed, the person who started it (Leader) needs to press the “Finalize Session” button. This will generate a HTML url (example: https://discord.djb.club/rp-sessions/jrR.html)
  
• The RP organizer must wait for the RP to be approved by the Exarch Staff.
• Once approved, the HTML link can be entered into the submission text box. This will auto-pull in participants to the competition.
• ALL RPS MUST BE FINALIZED BY WEDNESDAY, MAY 28TH site-reset time when the competition closes.

Grading

• Placement will be determined by the judges preference of the submitted cooperative story, with a focus on teamwork, creativity, easy readability, and adherence to Star Wars lore and Brotherhood systems.
• The winning team’s story will become “Canon” and tracked on the Envoy Corps Bounty Board on the wiki (with consent from the team).
• Feedback will be provided for each participating team by at least one of the graders.
