A little on the general plan...
Feel free to throw out ideas here in OOC and continue playing within the city for a while.
I've sent Mythas to Portsmouth to look for a specific item that may or may not still be in the city. He is also interested in gathering a small group of travelers that may be able to help him find the item/ protect it/ transport it/ and generally understand it's magical properties. He's probably going to either offer to pay or do some favor in order to appeal to your character's priorities, possibly through manipulation. You can agree or reject his offer but ideally it would be nice to have a small party to travel and haphazardly fall into adventure with. I will make sure lots of appropriately bad things and obstacles plague our "heroes" from there.
If this is agreeable...
How shall we have our characters bump into one another? I was going to have Mythas preform either in a courtyard or tavern that night and then make a call to all who don't mind a bit of a challenge, possibly facing some danger, for pay. He'll probably be purposefully vague on details until he can speak privately with some of these people. If there is another way you'd like our characters to meet up let me know. I'm open to any idea as long as it works within our character, especially if your idea is better than mine (which is rather stock) I'll be more than happy to run with it.
Feel free to message me privately about any plans you want to keep more as a surprise for everyone else.
P.S. As for Sora I have a plan to get him part of the party despite the thievery. I'll talk to Neko-Sora999 privately about those plans at some point.
