And once they've dealt with the beasts they will also figure out the truth about the monsters they fought last month. With Schuyler and Akakios mocking Néo and Ciarra for it, of course Maybe Silke gets to join them sometimes to give them some pointers since she's mostly focusing on brawl herself. Makes their training even more fun Yeah, the Deer following Neason at first and once they realize that no, he really doesn't have a plan they all do their own thing to get at least something done
Also wondering when and how my characters will get to use their personal skills. Vincent will only get to use his when there are wyverns and/or pegasi on the battlefield and Nora only gets to use hers when they fight indoors. So it'll probably be useful for the Blue Sea Moon mission, depending on what part of the monastery the Eagles have to guard. Agnar can use his anytime I guess. Same goes for Konstantin, he only has to be near a crest bearer. Lara might get to use hers less since she'll try to avoid getting her hp below 50%. Julius' skill will be fun since it affects his allies negatively. Tahvo will be able to use his every time, he only needs to fight near someone he has support points with. And for Callan it depends on how well everyone else is doing Jasmine and Néo can also use theirs for every mission

Sometimes a girl needs to punch something, that's just how it is. But yeah, we really have a lot of girls who will use their fists xD Silke, Rieka, Ciarra, Jasmine when she doesn't bring her horse for a mission, maybe Elara to some extend as Silke has offered her to teach her the basics, Megumi probably can punch stuff too in her human form, Larissa has brawl as her Hidden Talent... And even Lady Hera can beat opponents with her fists! Nora has brawl listed as a weakness and she'll focus mainly on magic and lances but she wouldn't mind learning the basics. She won't need it once she promotes to a Riding class but until then it might be useful. So that leaves us with Imrie, Adora and Estelle as the only girls who won't bother with it at all. Unless they do want to give it a try too. Yeah, he sets everything on fire and Julius will gladly follow his example! Maybe not with fire but still making everyone flee from the dining hall. The Deer really shouldn't be surprised that Neason won't have any good plans for the mock battle xD Yup. Not always easy to decide on when to use them for some of our characters but it shouldn't be impossible ^^ Oh, and since we have enough students in each house Megumi doesn't have to sit out. Unless she still wants to, that is xD Maybe she'll join the fight once Tahvo and Lara arrive, maybe she won't bother at all or she'll be there from the start. Entirely up to 𝚜𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚔𝚜𝚌𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛 though ^^ If she still doesn't want to join her house for the mock battle then Néo will jump in, with or without permission. Oh, he'll try to participate anyway but depending on whether Megumi wants to sit out or not he'll either side with the Eagles or does his own thing by challenging any student he comes across, no matter which house they belong to xD

Exactly, all the girls just should learn how to punch whether they advance in brawl or not, just gives them something to bond over
The fire is his plan, surely it would prevent their opponents from advancing, and by a fault them, but like it seemed like a good idea at the time
Ye
Good point I'm sure we can get it figured out by then

Yeah, he will try to join anyway xD If Megumi doesn't want to participate he'll be allowed to join the Eagles for this. And if she does want to fight he'll watch the battle for a while before running off to fight whoever he comes across. I think once Tahvo and Lara show up he'll offer to go over to them and tell them who their classmates are so they'll know who they will have to fight. And then he follows them to join the mock battle as well xD Sure, anyone who is watching will notice but they'll either be like "eh, whatever, we can yell at him later." or a knight or two have to catch him and get him off the battlefield. Careful though, he scratches and bites!

Yeah, the rabbits are much more vicious than the foxes and wolves. Rekka and Tahvo are just being good bois, the worst thing Yutaka does is scamming people and Rieka isn't into this violent shit either xD Nope, it's the cute little bunnies everyone needs to watch out for

Well, if we want a small timeskip we could do the Occult Club thing. We can directly jump to that or to the afternoon or evening so our other characters can have some interactions too. But we still can come up with something else to do before or after the Occult Gang stuff. As for when our Bandit Bashers return, we could either finish all current interactions and end the day or we have some more of our ocs interact with each other. All three of us should still have a few characters open, we only need to know where everyone is right now

where should we have them look for it, and what should we have them uncover, or will we make it up as it goes
and i would say yea, if we get to a good point, we could have interactions end for the day, do the skip to where we do the occult thing, and while thats going on do other interactions with characters

Well, they are looking for some secret room but that's about it. We haven't really figured out where they'll look for it, only that it's probably hidden somewhere off limits. As for the hidden room itself, maybe there's nothing special there after all. While Grimm heard rumors about weapons and artefacts and Julius heard rumors about ancient scrolls or tomes maybe neither of them are true, aside from the 'secret room' thing of course. There might be a few rusty weapons and dusty scrolls but not many of them and they're not special at all. But hey, now the Occult Club has a secret room where they can discuss any rumors they heard lately, whether or not they're worth looking into and how and when they'll investigate xD As for any future investigations, we can totally come up with something that turns out to be real for once. Also, (going with something Sussuru suggested once) if Spark is okay with Rekka being the first outsider to go missing at the start of the Verdant Rain Moon then the cultists could totally grab him while the Occult Club is doing their thing. At that point our four idiots would be more used to sneaking around at night and more willing to split up to cover more ground for their investigations.
Well, the Occult Club will sneak around at night so there isn't much our other characters can do while that's going on, all that stuff would have to happen before we do club activities. Unless some students have permission to stay in some of the areas, like the first and second floor of the reception hall

Just realized we'll also have to do this "suspicious people sneaking around in town"-thing at some point. You know, some reports of how some shifty guys have been spotted near the monastery, making Elara think that they might be working for her brother. And how they turn out to be completely unrelated to that. We could still do this as another small subplot before the mock battle. Or we do this for the next month (before the main missions of course). Maybe Ambrose will pick five students again to investigate and, if necessary, deal with those suspicious people or the Occult Club sneaks into town at night instead.

Ooo I'd be up for Rekka to go missing first. He'd honestly probably be the best target anyways adjfakjdfkadjf Boy isn't a bitey as the others lol I'm also all for ending interactions for the day and moving onto the Occult Club interactions :]

Okay, cool! Poor little fox, getting subjected to the cult's experiments for at least a day longer than the others, but yeah, he's one of the best first targets. As for the rest of them, we can figure out in which order they get captured over time. Alastair and Megumi from the Eagles and Imrie, Rieka and Agnar from the Lions. And Néo. My rabbit could be the second one to go missing, he is dumb enough to run around at night on his own even after finding out that Rekka has disappeared. Oh, and since the cultists are working with the agarthans they may have learned some magic from them. What I mean is that some cultists probably know how to teleport. So they don't even have to actually attack their targets in order to capture them, all they have to do is get close enough so the kids stand in the radius of the teleport spell. Makes it even harder to figure out how those students disappeared since there are no clues at all.

Had some more thoughts on the Occult Club and their activities. For the Verdant Rain Moon they'd have to do their investigation right at the beginning of the month since that's when the first students will disappear. Well, right before that we have the Blue Sea Moon. The month where a bunch of assassins somehow got into Garreg Mach. And maybe that's what the Occult Club will be doing after that. Trying to find some clues about those guys, what their motives were and most importantly, how so many of them even got in. But no matter what our occult gang is investigating this time, we'll have to make sure that none of them gets hurt too badly when the students and knights fight off the assassins. Can't sneak around the monastery when you're half-dead, after all. I guess we also need to figure out what else out Occult Club will be doing. They already have a plan for the current month but after that we need to come up with more rumors or other strange stuff they might want to look into.
Also thought a bit more about the evil racist cultists. The plan was to have them use the blood of Kitsune, Wolfskin and Taguel to make some weird creature. And to give it a crest (or more than one). Now, the question is: are they gonna make some monsters that are fully beasts or do they give all that blood to some humans to turn them into a new kind of beastkin (weird mix of kitsune, wolfskin and taguel)? I guess they'd also create some beaststones for them. And maybe they'll use the students they've abducted in the previous years for that. Well, the ones that haven't died yet, I guess. I doubt too many of them have survived their time as captives of some racist cultists.

love the idea of them investigating how the assassins came in, and definitely seems up their alley to look into
and hmm amybe a fully monsters at the start is what gets dealt with, and then as the moons progress is when they send in the people turned into monsters, cause 'lets just mess this kiddos up' and let them see they have been killing people, and not monsters

Alright! So Verdant Rain Investigation will be about how the assassins got in (either some hidden tunnels leading into the monastery or someone letting them in, disguised as harmless merchants or something else. Or something else entirely) and once they split up to find more clues the cultists can grab Rekka. As for the next month (Horsebow Moon), maybe some investigation into the church members who worked with the cultists is in order? While some of them were found out during the mission the Occult Club could suspect that even more church members were involved?
And sounds good! Not sure when they use their first monsters but I'm all for them using the fully monsters first and the artificial beastkin later. Not sure if we already want a monster for the Verdant Rain Moon since the kids and the church are supposed to be clueless about the cultists motives at first. But even if we don't want to use them this early they could make an appearance during some paralogues. Anything that has something to do with the church and any paralogues set outside of Fódlan. Oh crap, I remember my dumb suggestion of having Alastair's village be destroyed by those creatures xD If you still wanna do that then which ones do you want? The "real" monsters or the human ones? We could go with the latter since it's supposed to happen much later, if I remember correctly. In that case... what if the cultists have also used some of the people of that village as test subjects? But on the other hand it's a lot like how everyone from Ciarra and Néo's villages have been turned into demonic beasts...

yea, they works well, maybe they get separated in the tunnels, if we go that route, and yea then looking into the church members work, and will set up for later events if im recalling right
hmm paralogues sound like a good start for the monsters, depending on the one, cultists are aiding people simply for research purposes, such with the case of elaras brother, and once getting what they wanted from whatever, maybe to get glimpses at the outsiders/beastkin students to see what they are capable of as it will further help with their experiments later when in their custody, they dip, and then in the more official missions is when they start sending monsters as they gain a more prominent standing?

Yeah, I think so. Oh, and maybe that's how some people even become suspicious of Ambrose in the first place? While he's one of the agarthans and not one of the cultists there might be some clues leading to him since the agarthans have been helping the cultists with their experiments (mostly to get some more dangerous creatures they can use aside from demonic beasts). Makes it even worse for Akakios since he's with the Occult Club and should have known that by looking into the people who were involved with the cultists they would also find some hints pointing to some of their own spies xD I guess he does know that this is a possibility but he probably hopes that he can make some normal knight or church member look suspicious instead. Too bad he underestimates the other club members. Schuyler will not be happy with him xD Yeah, that would work. And the cultists could probably continue with their experiments even after their captives have escaped and/or been rescued. They can use the magic or technology they've gotten from the agarthans to simply make more monsters by using the blood of their new creations. Or they capture beastkin and outsiders outside of Garreg Mach now, going to their countries and grab them there. All to make their super awesome monsters and fake beastkin as effective as possible. Also, the agarthans will probably betray the cult, either by dealing with them themselves or by letting everyone find out about them. I mean, once the new monsters are perfect they won't need the cultists anymore.
So how many people do we have working for the agarthans now? xD We have the cultists for their weird belief about a common ancestor of all beastkin and their desire to create those beings. And their hatred for outsiders, especially those with crests. And their desire to destroy the church. Yup, they're useful as hell to the agarthans. Then we have Desai who will do something for them. And maybe Elara's brother. Maybe we can also have the assassins working with the agarthans. "Oh cool, they want to kill the archbishop. Let's get them inside the monastery!" In this case the agarthans will only provide them with information I guess. So, anyone else who's working for or being used by our tunnel snakes?

that could work yea! schuyler just yells at akakios the entire next meeting about how stupid he is and how could he think helping them look into the church members was a good idea etc etc
that works as well, and yea love the agarathans being back stabbers, 'well you fulfilled your purpose surface dwellers peace' *proceeds to put the cultists on blast*
yeaaa lots of people agreeing to work for them for various things, desai was like getting his daughters a second crest and one other thing i believe, elaras brother just wanting elara dead, and assassins working with them sounds great since they would be wanting to kill the archbishop who leads the church that they all hate. as for other people im not sure but we def could come up with something

Not like he had much of a choice, the others are right that it's important to find out more about it and if he disagrees or tries to find something else to investigate it would make him look suspicious but yeah, Schuyler will not let him live that down, even with all the crazy stuff he pulls to get them to stop suspecting Ambrose xD And it's not like Schuyler's completely wrong to yell at him, Akakios shouldn't have gotten overconfident in trying to get the Occult Club to suspect someone else and underestimating them
I think Desai's other reason was because he's pissed at the church for not only letting Neason go missing but also for not looking for him. He finds out about that because Ambrose/Schuyler tells him, right? And yeah, we can totally find more people who might be useful for the agarthans in some way

Yeaaa, but I mean they probably would get suspicious if Julius was adamant about them not investigating the church members
Ahhh that's right, cause the son he cares about isn't there, and yea ambrose/Schuyler was the one to do it, just cause he knew it would be easy to manipulate desai with neason, after he learns about how the Garland Moon mission was for the deer

Yup. Would look very suspicious if he was against it. There's no good reason for him to discourage them from investigating the church. Hm. I think during one of their investigations Julius will drop some hints disguised as questions and other remarks. Those hints are supposed to point towards a specific knight or church member but what he doesn't consider is that it also points towards Ambrose and with the stuff all four Occult Club members find out Ambrose looks even more suspicious. "Hey, only the cultists knew about this back then, right? So wouldn't that mean-" "Holy shit, dude, you're right! Alright guys, next time we get a chance we'll need to find more about Ambrose's involvement in all this." 'Right you are, my dear surface dweller friend. We should- wait what' "Ahahaha... yeah..." 'Oh crap, he's so gonna kill me...'
Yup! I guess Julius mentions it at one of their meetings. Casually talks about how Desai treats his sons to make fun of the surface dwellers. And once Neason leaves Ambrose will make use of that information. Now he only needs an excuse to go there without raising suspicion. Well, he's a knight so he might get sent there for some reason. One of the other (unimportant npc) spies could arrange for Ambrose to get sent to Cherith territory on an errand or a small mission. Schuyler's the one who comes up with the idea of course but he'll probably have to inform that other spy so no one will suspect anything
