mafia attack plotting post
All right, so here's an OOC plotting post for the attack on the mafia! There's no date set for it, because I wanted to make sure it worked for whoever wanted in, but ideally it'll take place in the next week or so.
The meeting will have Albero present, along with a large number of high ranking mafia members. Mods will be NPCing Albero as needed, and may also provide any other NPCing, if people want/need other stuff. I'm assuming the other mafia members can be NPCed by players attacking them, however.
I'll set a couple of threads below for specific plotting - date discussion, those going to the meeting, and those who'd want to do something with the recordings and other information Nick has. And, of course, feel free to start your own threads.
If you want your character to participate but don't want to tag into the network post, just comment here and we can handwave them signing up or whatever! I know it's a busy time of the year for people.
UPDATE on the date of the attack and structure of the attack log here! Unless anyone has conflicts, the attack will take place on the night of Monday, December 8th.

Meeting Attack Plotting

ETA: Actual plotting. Lyall actually hasn't done much (any?) fighting in wolf form before. He's going to find out the hard way that he doesn't actually always keep his mind, in wolf form (at least right now) as soon as he actually has to engage someone in combat. He won't go fully moon-mad, but he definitely won't remember who he is and what he's supposed to be doing, so anyone deemed threatening or dangerous is likely to get bitten, or at least snarled at. He'll need talking down to get himself back, once you don't need an angry wolf around anymore.
no subject
As long as they're not 'don't go,' anyway.
Edited for more specfic plotting! Lyall's going to try fighting as a wolf and lose his mind, so Nick's going to abandon his attempt to take out Albero to talk him down.

Re: Meeting Attack Plotting
Basically, confronting the mafia will cause Raye to finally lose control of her anger and will trigger a berserker transformation.
In effect this will turn her into a rampaging, hyper destructive monster that will attack anything even vaguely aggressive toward her with no distinction between friend or foe. Her first target will be the mob though so characters can avoid her rampage largely by staying out of her way, although collateral damage will certainly be a thing that happens.
There are loose plans in place to snap her out of this form but I figured it was best to put this up here to give people a heads up and see if anybody wanted to plot around it. Either being involved or dodging the incident completely.

Tl;dr I don't think L would want to be on the front lines or be useful there, but he would want to help with his particular skill set as much as possible!

He can take on mafia lackeys or help in the rush to get Albero himself, wherever he's needed he's more than happy to help as long as this is the end of their mafia troubles. He'll even provide cover and help anyone who's going straight for Albero themselves--he'll do anything as long as he doesn't deal the killing blow.
no subject
Torin's going to be involved, although he might be uniquely suited to questioning--he's got his love gun, and he could in theory make a mafia goon fall madly in love with any one of the Numbered, at which point they'd quite possibly respond well to questions assuming those questions were accompanied by a little batting of the eyelashes. I haven't really had him get into an actual fight transformed, so I'm very tempted to throw him in there, too. He's really very tired of this mafia stuff, and he wants to put an end to it.

He wants in on this, he's got a score to settle and he finally has the power behind him to actually be really useful in a fight (can we say flashstepping ninja, anyone?).
Re: Meeting Attack Plotting
Anyways, he's good with tactics ala gangster related stuff, guns and as a meat shield.

Re: Meeting Attack Plotting
That aside, it looks like Thorir, Isabela, Fil, the now unnumbered Hjalti and maybe more people will join in on the attack. None of them have special superpowers, but they're all pretty good fighters.
no subject
Walter would be there, though he'd be... subtle-ish. The most subtle way he can manage, anyway. He'll have his poncho of (almost) invisibility, his sword, and his bow/arrow set. He'd like to offer some quiet support, and if the opposition started to flee, he'd try to stop them. He is not interested in killing anyone, but... accidents happen.
Anti-Violence/Information Plotting
no subject
But she's still of the opinion that any outright attacks upon the mafia isn't going to end well - at least not without exposing Albero first, as she thinks that will be the final nail in their Locke publicity coffin.
Still, even though she'll argue about it she's not going to outright try to fight other Numbered head-to-hand without someone's life hanging on the line (re: the Robynapping) and WOULD at least like to get any incriminating information to the FBI.

So, she'll be working on this side of the battle, looking for information, and even going out to help whoever gets caught in the crossfire of the battle. She's due for an equipment failure soon, but she's still going to try her best.
Anti-Violence/Information Plotting
The FBI will however, arrange for safe houses for Numbered/family who are not participating in this operation but these safe houses are located outside of echo boundaries. They have to move themselves to these location though, so as to not alert the mafia if the FBI starts moving Numbered/family out.
Eugen himself will be in Germany, so he won't be participating directly unless he has a reason to be there.
NPC information!
> Mafia goons (not the higher ups, but at this point most of the medium level mafia members are altered as well) are all altered, some of them very heavily. Have them spliced with whatever you wish - depending on their animal dna, their abilities and looks will be different. Each person can only be spliced with one animal.
> Altered mafia members are also manipulated to be very obedient to the higher ups and protect them at all costs, more so than they would normally be. This can go up to the point where they are willing human shields if a PC opens fire on a higher up/Albero.
> There is a number of women in the mafia, but men are the majority. Most have English as a native language. Some dislike the numbered, some are only opportunistic or don't care - basically, have at it and have fun!
If there are any other questions re: NPCs, please ask! We absolutely encourage people NPCing themselves.
no subject
I will be NPCing a Very Special altered mafia goon attacking numbered in this whole mess. They'll also be in an uncontrolled frenzy, in addition to being altered, soooo if anyone wants some extra drama in their fight, or just generally to have someone else NPC the mafia goon they're fighting, let me know! I'd be more than happy to plan an encounter or tag your characters in the fight log.
UPDATE
As far as the structure of the attack - since the mods will be NPCing Albero and there will be a Very Special mafia goon NPC, I'm figuring there will be separate threads for each of those, for people who want to specifically go after one of those. As of right now, there's no one slated to actually kill Albero, so it's up for grabs!
Otherwise, L will be working on coordination to get them in, and Xander can shadow one person at a time with him. Once they're in, it'll just be a free for all for characters to take out lackeys or other higher up members and do their own thing.
If anyone would prefer a different structure, lay it on me!
