ENDGAME COORDINATION PLOTTING
Greetings, everyone! We're down to the final stages of this story, here, and I'm so glad we all get to participate in it. Please read everything over, and please weigh in on every aspect that you think your character might help in, or that you personally are interested in. The more input you all give, the more we can make this endgame into something we're all proud of.
Below are several headers with different decisions that can be made. If you think of something that's not listed, don't be afraid to suggest it, but what's presented here are the most common ideas and solutions we've put forward in plotting posts and in threads so far.
1. DEALING WITH THE WORLD EATER
A. KILL IT The most popular suggestion so far is to kill it, probably by use of a bomb. Weaver has offered to help construct it, and in the past has mentioned she could also build a larger drone to deploy a larger warhead. But to do so, she needs materials. Plutonium is on the top of her list, but building supplies would also be appreciated. Because of the huge energy requirements involved in getting specialty items via the portal, she would prefer that things already in Beacon be gathered before everyone resorts to ordering stuff, but that's always an option if it needs to be.
B. LEAVE IT Is there anyone who is firmly against trying to kill it? Is there any character who absolutely does not want to be involved, who would prefer it be left to consume the world, who would help the green-eyes or the World Eater itself?
C. EJECT IT In order to try to send the World Eater away, it would have to be lured into a portal, and the portal would have to be made much, much larger through some method. Is anyone pursuing this strategy and if so, how might it be accomplished?
2. AND IF THAT FAILS, OR IF YOU SUCCEED?
A. A number of characters have indicated that at the slightest suggestion of failure, they're ready to evacuate themselves and possibly others through the portal. This might mean that they could not participate in activities on the surface, or that their participation might be limited, depending on how close to the portal room you want them to be. Is anyone likely to sit out a fight (or whatever else ensues) entirely in order to get ready to bail?
B. Of course, if you succeed, there will be time for everyone who survives to do as they like. For those who wish to leave, someone does have to stay behind and operate the portal, sending people on their way and closing it afterward. This is too complex a task to leave to the forest spirits. Is anyone willing to stay behind and send their friends off to future travels? Does anyone just want to hang out in Beacon for life anyway, help rebuild the town and the farm and make it something they're proud of having saved?
...
In the comments below, please summarize your thoughts (and your character's thoughts) on what you'd like to see in the upcoming handful of remaining months. Feel free to respond to each other, to plot out ideas OOCly, and to take as much time as you need. Elements from this post will be used to build the last event in March, so this will be open for commenting for the entire next month, and it's fine if ideas change between now and then based on explores or threads - but if it isn't here by the end of February I may not be able to account for it in the final stages of endgame.
As before, you will see a LFG header for organizing explore groups, and a BATON PASS header if you have an idea that your character isn't likely to see through but that someone else might be interested in taking up. Otherwise, please look for the appropriate header (1 or 2) so we can keep plot elements organized.
And as always, please speak up if you have questions or suggestions! I'm here to make this as collaborative as possible.

- Who would like to be involved in building or deploying the bomb?
- Will you have Weaver build a drone to send it with, or is there another way to launch/fire/drop it?
- Is anyone intending to make more of that World Eater resistance potion?
- What precautions might be taken? Are there other planning elements that need to be considered?
- Are there any explores that still need to be done to accomplish any of this? Feel free to put together a group and submit an explore, and I will aim to wrap them up in one single comment so we can get everyone caught up.
