Vizuul Hunt Status

Operation Red Spear
((OOCly called The Doomed and The Dying))

The operation to trap and execute Vizuul is already being planned. What follows is the in-character mission objective:

Night One: Friday, August the 4th

 * 1) Enter an ancient ruin whose heights scrape against the Twisting Nether.
 * 2) Escort Rhana Doomlight through the ruin, protecting her from local threats.
 * 3) Defend her as she finds a location suitable to the nether trap ritual.
 * 4) Ensure none of Vizuul the Twisted's lieutenants can reach Rhana's location.

Night Two: Saturday, August the 5th

 * 1) Complete the nether trap ritual.
 * 2) Enter the trap in full force.
 * 3) Kill Vizuul the Twisted whilst preventing him from raising his Quickening Spell to insurmountable levels.

[b][i]Level Requirements:[/b][/i]

 * Minimum level of [b]68[/b] to take part in [b]night one[/b] and the [b]first section of night two[/b].
 * Minimum level of [b]110[/b] to take part in [b]most of night two.[/b]

[b][i]How to Join:/b][/i]

 * [li][b]Night One:[/b] While our battle takes place outside of the nether trap, you'll be able to enter and leave the battlefield freely. Characters will have to be level 70 to enter the raid group.
 * [li][b]Night Two - Before the Battle:[/b] The fight against Vizuul will occur on the 5th of August, after 20:00. At any point before we enter [b]the Nether Trap[/b], you can enter or leave freely.
 * [li][b]Night Two - During the Battle:[/b] We have a way of transporting your character into the battle [i]after[/i] it has moved into the Nether Trap. To be eligible for it, your character must be selected in advance and kept out of RP before they are transported.

[b][i]What to do if you're not 110[/b][/i]

[li][b]Stay behind[/b] while we enter the Nether Trap right at the start of Saturday. You'd never lay a finger on Vizuul if you choose this; instead your character will protect Rhana as she sustains the Nether Trap spell.[/li]

[li][b]Fall behind[/b] once we're inside the Nether Trap. Only partway through the battle with Vizuul will we move to a min. 110 area. When this happens, your character can simply choose not to follow. Contact me to figure out why they might choose that.[/li]

Default Health is 48 .
You can specialise in one or more of the following combat attributes: You can have up to three points for free, distributed however you like amongst these six attributes.
 * Fighting ("Strength"). Increase your roll when attacking something with a melee weapon.
 * Evading ("Dexterity"). Increase your roll when dodging, blocking, or moving quickly and lightly.
 * Shooting ("Aim"). Increase your roll when attacking something with a ranged weapon.
 * Tanking ("Stamina"). Increase your health by six points, letting you endure more damage.
 * Casting ("Knowledge"). Increase your roll when casting magic you're trained in. Knowledge can also represent technical expertise with gadgets, crafting, and field medicine. This is limited to what you know in-character.
 * Casting ("Spellpower"). Gives you eight units of the appropriate magical or non-magical resource. Spend these units for one-time bonuses before you roll. Within reason, spellpower can boost almost any roll. It just has to make sense IC why your magic/non-magic would be helpful.

Sacrificing Stats
You can sacrifice up to five points, giving you negative attributes that reduce your rolls. You may then spend these points on other attributes.

Some attributes have lower-limits for fairness. These are:

Knowledge & Aim: Cannot go lower than -2. At -2 Aim, you are no longer capable of using ranged weaponry. At -2 Knowledge, you can no longer cast spells, use complex machinery, provide meaningful first aid, or win pub quizzes.

Spellpower: Cannot be less than 0.

Incomplete

 * Prepare the ground for killing Vizuul.


 * Summon and kill Vizuul the Twisted.

Complete
Rhana Doomlight is presumed dead after we could not find her in time for a lethal coastal storm. The search is abandoned, and now we must find another way.
 * Search for Rhana Doomlight, the only(?) warlock who can locate Vizuul the Twisted (Succeeded)

Doomlight's house yielded notes and reagents from her early communications with Vizuul, or at least, his minion Igiturum.

''Doomlight resurfaced in the hands of naga from the Eye of Azshara, and was liberated before Ash Heart could purchase her custody. She is currently resting in security in Dalaran.'' The Legion were denied any involvement in the battle of Snowblind Mesa.
 * Defeat Vizuul the Twisted in combat, on Azeroth.

Multiple adventurers have confirmed that they've slain Vizuul in Faronaar. The Eredar Lord has been suppressed for now.

''Ships identical to those whom Vizuul commanded outside the Tomb of Sargeras have been seen all across the Broken Isles, participating in the invasions. He was not sighted on board any of them.'' The Broken Legion contains 107 out of 100 required souls.
 * Create a device to store the summoning's reagents.
