    Threadmarks: Late Winter, 896 CC - Wynna Flygon's Dangerous And Expensive Publicity Stunt Idea

    The more you think about it, the more you like your Nap Attack idea, with its potential to solve two problems at once for free. You locate Rin and Chester and ask if they’d be open to accepting Trent as a new member. Both of them are enthusiastic about the notion, believing that he’ll help them...

    Threadmarks: Early Winter, 896 CC - Team Bloom's in Danger!

    You ask Team Sensation to ease up on tapping the dungeon. Tristram Slurpuff and Chrysa seem relieved – you expect they were getting bored with running the same dungeon again and again – but Jan Noctowl and Yves Indeedee are a bit disappointed. Late Autumn, 896 CC It turns out you aren’t the...

    Threadmarks: Mid-Autumn, 896 CC - Push Your Luck On The Spice Smuggling?

    Tristram and Chrysa quickly agree to your request for 30% of the spice smuggling profits, making you wonder if you could’ve asked for more. Oh well, best not to get too greedy, you suppose. Shortly thereafter, you make a low-key announcement that Team Sensation – as well as Deputy Noivern – will...

    Threadmarks: Late Summer, 896 CC - A Spicy Smuggling Opportunity

    You provisionally accept the Dugtrim for a year. Time will tell if that was a good decision or not… Early Summer, 896 CC To your mild surprise, the curly-haired head changes his attitude after the first month of training. Apparently what he was really most afraid of was dying without having...

    Threadmarks: Late Spring, 896 CC - Dugtrim Dilemma

    You convince Chrysa to exclude the call-out of Rose’s amulets, reminding her that the guild can’t afford to take on any kind of financial risk at the moment, and approve Sargas’ skits idea.

    Threadmarks: Mid-Spring, 896 CC - Dungeon Safety Seminar Preparation

    After reviewing all the options, you conclude that Chrysa’s seminar idea is the only one that doesn’t really have a chance to go wrong. It might not have a huge impact, but you suspect your guild’s current poor reputation is the first thing you’ll need to fix to start addressing all the other...

    Threadmarks: Early Spring, 896 CC - Policy Selection

    After a considerable amount of fretting and late-night pacing up and down the guild’s hallways, you finally come to a decision. Employing Chef Meganium may be expensive, but she’s well worth the cost considering how much of an impact she’s having on guild morale. And if you let her go, you doubt...

    Threadmarks: Early Spring, 896 CC - A Pay Cut For The Chef?

    Hmm. You really don't want to raise the take of rewards or replace Chef Meganium! Maybe you can talk Yvonne Meganium into taking a temporary pay-cut until the guild's in a better financial position? You approach her when she's wrapping up in the kitchen for the day and, after politely declining...

    You reluctantly give up on your dreams of a big party and begin thinking about the speech you’ll give. Late Winter, 895 CC There’s a lot of low-key grumbling after you announce that there will be no anniversary celebration this year, but at least most Pokemon are understanding of the guild’s...

    Threadmarks: Mid-Winter, 895 CC - 54th Anniversary Party Planning

    Note: I rolled randomly to determine the outcome of the vote again. You decide not to talk to team Nap Attack, predicting that they’ll lose interest in the Jirachi quest as long as no one brings it up to them. Rin and Chester plan a tentative route and start making a big list of supplies to...

    You gather Team Farstride and a few representatives of your guild’s evolved members for a meeting in the dining hall. With any luck, you can come to a solution that at least sorta works.

    Note: I decided the voting tie with a die roll again. I feel a bit bad about doing this two times in a row, but it’s a been a few days and I want to keep the quest moving. You must be a genius, as all your plans are equally brilliant! ...or at least that’s what you tell yourself when you can’t...

    Threadmarks: Mid-Spring, 896 CC - The Ditto Duelist, Part Two

    Note: The voting tie was determined randomly, as the choice wasn’t of critical importance and both options seemed plausible for the guildmaster’s personality.

    You decide to appoint Chrysa Noivern as your deputy. Although untested in administrative work, you’re confident she’ll be able to learn the necessary skills soon enough. But does the rest of the guild see the logic behind your decision? For the most part, yes! Some of the older guild members...

    Ah, that’s right! You’re Theseus Bewear, and you’re a Sly, crafty fellow. Your days of petty – and sometimes, not so petty – crime are long behind you, but you still maintained enough contacts with the city’s shadier elements to catch wind of Lud’s scheme. After that, some careful eavesdropping...

    Early Spring, 895 CC Many years ago, Pym Reuniclus founded the Starlight Guild to provide the port city of Windhaven with an alternative to the increasingly sclerotic and profit-driven Metagross Guild.
