Those Seeking Redemptions Operation In Bangkok Thailand 240317
In the mystical outskirts of Bangkok, a tense confrontation unfolds as various factions, including the Redemption seekers, converge to persuade a powerful priestess to either support or renounce her eidolon. The priestess, under the influence of her eidolon, has turned nearly into a Krasue, a dire predicament that compelled Harriet and her allies, Autumn, Tabitha, and Victorin, to intervene. The skirmish is rife with magic, gunfire, and the summoning of phantom defenders by the priestess. Amidst the conflict, Autumn attempts to reach the priestess, advocating for a world where humanity and supernatural beings coexist peacefully. Despite their efforts, including Harriet's impassioned pleas and the strategic maneuvers of her comrades, they face stiff resistance from the village's protectors and the priestess's unwavering belief in her eidolon.
The battle intensifies as traditionally-garbed phantoms engage the group in a relentless assault. Harriet, wielding a platinum warhammer, and her comrades, armed with an array of mystical and ballistic weapons, fend off the spirits attempting to thwart their mission. Viktorin is forced to retreat after taking substantial hits, illustrating the high stakes of their endeavor. Meridith, too, delivers a fervent plea to the priestess, emphasizing humanity's potential for growth and unity beyond base desires and impulses. Despite their valiant efforts and profound declarations to sway the priestess, they contend with the harsh reality of their limitations against deeply entrenched beliefs and powerful supernatural forces. As the dust settles, the priestess remains unconvinced, her village thriving under the eidolon's influence, leaving the group to reflect on the complexities of zealotry, belief, and the quest for a harmonious world.
At Sat Mar 16 2024, in a village near Bangkok, Thailand
Mission: Get to the designated site and continue convince the priestess to support the fight against or continue its support of her eidolon until the process is complete.
The fight against Legion is not just tied to Haven. The entity has its tendrils into hearts of people far across the pond. Those Seeking Redemption have decided to try to extend their knowledge and services to these areas, starting in Bangkok, Thailand, based off some research into a Krasue intent on haunting a distant sister Coven to Tabitha Matheson's own. Under the influence of her eidolon, a high priestess has been becoming far more powerful and is in danger of becoming a Krasue, herself. The goal is to convince her of these dangers, and try to earn her trust and support to fight against the eidolon. Other factions similar to Those Seeking Redemption have the ability to convince her of the same, but not in support of Those Seeking Redemption. While the opposition has the opportunity to try and reinforce her desires for power and control.

These are designed not only to help individuals change the trajectory of their lives but also to integrate them into society as constructive members." She keeps runing ahead, and calls to Viktorin, "You're going to reduce your chances if you take out Meri first," with a laugh. "It's better to let her fight that guy so he doesn't come after us!"

If we all accept peace... we can all work together to stop the end of the world. Without that? We're all going to be fighting each other to accomplish our own ends, and then, the end of the world is going to come regardless."

"The Order stands as a bastion against the shadow of the oncoming Apocalypse," Harriet calls out. "Our philosophy is rooted in the preservation of life and the prevention of destruction, and guides us through the tumultuous times ahead. We are keenly aware of the cataclysmic potential of such an event, not as an abstract future possibility but as an imminent threat that requires immediate and focused attention." She keeps going on, "The Order's intent, first and foremost, is to mitigate the impact of these larger threats - those harbingers of the Apocalypse that possess the capacity to unravel of our society and the natural world. It is a duty we bear solemnly, with the understanding that the balance between life and the encroaching darkness is delicate and must be diligently maintained."

"I am more familar with zealotry in the way that it reflects the human capacity for profound commitment," Harriet admits to the Priestess. "It underscores the potential within each of us to stand up for what we believe in -- to strive for change, and to effect that change with determination. However, it also serves as a reminder of our responsibility to temper our fervor with empathy and understanding. We engage with the world not as adversaries but as advocates for a better, more inclusive future, but in this psychic world, we fight. In this light, the zealot in each of us can indeed be a force for good, propelling us toward actions that uphold our deepest values while fostering a world that respects and cherishes the multiplicity of convictions that define the human experience."

"While I am willing to concede and listen to you about the good of unity, as I've always felt this. We are all one, even with the land that provides us. You do not respond in relation to the eidolon. It is good to know that you do not see it as evil as -they- do. It only wishes to see the world survive, as you."

It is a zealotry born of love, a love for humanity, for the natural world and the supernatural as well, and for the potential of what we can achieve when we stand united in purpose."

Meridith says "It's a shame we still have to fight...!"
"In essence, my zealotry for The Order is a reflection of my commitment to a world that is just, peaceful, and thriving. It is a declaration of my willingness to fight for what I believe in, to stand firm in the face of adversity, and to work tirelessly towards the realisation of our collective ideals. It is this zealotry that defines me, not as a fanatic, but as a devoted servant of a cause greater than myself, and as I said before, anyone can see themselves as a zealot for their own cause," Harriet cries out as she's fighting traditionally-garbed phi.

The battle intensifies as traditionally-garbed phantoms engage the group in a relentless assault. Harriet, wielding a platinum warhammer, and her comrades, armed with an array of mystical and ballistic weapons, fend off the spirits attempting to thwart their mission. Viktorin is forced to retreat after taking substantial hits, illustrating the high stakes of their endeavor. Meridith, too, delivers a fervent plea to the priestess, emphasizing humanity's potential for growth and unity beyond base desires and impulses. Despite their valiant efforts and profound declarations to sway the priestess, they contend with the harsh reality of their limitations against deeply entrenched beliefs and powerful supernatural forces. As the dust settles, the priestess remains unconvinced, her village thriving under the eidolon's influence, leaving the group to reflect on the complexities of zealotry, belief, and the quest for a harmonious world.
At Sat Mar 16 2024, in a village near Bangkok, Thailand
Mission: Get to the designated site and continue convince the priestess to support the fight against or continue its support of her eidolon until the process is complete.
The fight against Legion is not just tied to Haven. The entity has its tendrils into hearts of people far across the pond. Those Seeking Redemption have decided to try to extend their knowledge and services to these areas, starting in Bangkok, Thailand, based off some research into a Krasue intent on haunting a distant sister Coven to Tabitha Matheson's own. Under the influence of her eidolon, a high priestess has been becoming far more powerful and is in danger of becoming a Krasue, herself. The goal is to convince her of these dangers, and try to earn her trust and support to fight against the eidolon. Other factions similar to Those Seeking Redemption have the ability to convince her of the same, but not in support of Those Seeking Redemption. While the opposition has the opportunity to try and reinforce her desires for power and control.

Viktorin says "Ops are insanely good for training, apparently."
Viktorin says "Meridith retreating."
Viktorin says "Tabitha isn't on the radar."
Harriet nods to Viktorin, focusing in on someone. "Meri has abandoned Tabi. Oof," she murmurs out, flinching a bit. Then she calls out to the Priestess, "We want peace. We fight for peace. Preserving life is our goal, and our intentions are to prevent the loss of life. Life is precious. All sentient life is precious."

Viktorin says "Meridith is still out of range."
Harriet asks Viktorin suddenly, "Do you know how to apply bandages? I don't know if I ever gave you a first aid class now that I think about it."
Viktorin says "Nope. "
Meridith charges toward Viktorin.
"Your goal? Yours?" The priestess asks Harriet with a narrowed gaze. "You want to preserve humanity and yet you take out a group that is trying to do the very same? Not that I care much, they seek to destroy the Eidolon that I follow."
Harriet pulls a face as she considers this fact. Then she nods.
Viktorin charges toward Harriet.
Harriet calls to Viktorin, "Come after me!"
Meridith charges toward Viktorin.
Viktorin admits easily, "Half their group is filled with zealots, ready to break the peace. Not exactly the peaceful type, sadly. Collateral damage, so far as we've witnessed, is acceptable to them. And something I'm not exactly fond of."

"Similar goals are not grudges. Trying to ensure our goals are completed. Members of that group have been causing grief and making us suffer as of late. Of course we trust in ourselves more!"

Meridith says "Nngh... "
Harriet is pushed away from Meridith by an invisible force.
Viktorin rolls his shoulders and admits, "No. Not at all. I try to see the world from multiple perspectives. Because the fight against the end of the world isn't about just me, or what I believe in. But I think, peace, love, and equality are good places to start, right?"
Viktorin fires off a shot at Meridith which misses her.

To this end, we offer comprehensive rehabilitation and support programs. These are designed not only to help individuals change the trajectory of their lives but also to integrate them into society as constructive members." She keeps runing ahead, and calls to Viktorin, "You're going to reduce your chances if you take out Meri first," with a laugh. "It's better to let her fight that guy so he doesn't come after us!"

Viktorin asks the priestess aloud, "Unity is a hard bargain. But if everyone's seated at the table, as equals... then that's a starting step. If we all accept peace... we can all work together to stop the end of the world. Without that? We're all going to be fighting each other to accomplish our own ends, and then, the end of the world is going to come regardless." Again, the man racks his rifle, firing at the stall along with Harriet.

"The Order stands as a bastion against the shadow of the oncoming Apocalypse," Harriet calls out. "Our philosophy is rooted in the preservation of life and the prevention of destruction, and guides us through the tumultuous times ahead. We are keenly aware of the cataclysmic potential of such an event, not as an abstract future possibility but as an imminent threat that requires immediate and focused attention." She keeps going on, "The Order's intent, first and foremost, is to mitigate the impact of these larger threats - those harbingers of the Apocalypse that possess the capacity to unravel of our society and the natural world. It is a duty we bear solemnly, with the understanding that the balance between life and the encroaching darkness is delicate and must be diligently maintained."

"We are all zealots, when you consider what we all try to do." The priestess allows.
Harriet continues convince the priestess to support the fight against or continue its support of her eidolon.
"I am more familar with zealotry in the way that it reflects the human capacity for profound commitment," Harriet admits to the Priestess. "It underscores the potential within each of us to stand up for what we believe in -- to strive for change, and to effect that change with determination. However, it also serves as a reminder of our responsibility to temper our fervor with empathy and understanding. We engage with the world not as adversaries but as advocates for a better, more inclusive future, but in this psychic world, we fight. In this light, the zealot in each of us can indeed be a force for good, propelling us toward actions that uphold our deepest values while fostering a world that respects and cherishes the multiplicity of convictions that define the human experience."
Meridith says "Shit... "
Meridith says "Gotta catch my breath at least a little"
Harriet is pushed away from Meridith by an invisible force.

Harriet continues convince the priestess to support the fight against or continue its support of her eidolon.

"While I am willing to concede and listen to you about the good of unity, as I've always felt this. We are all one, even with the land that provides us. You do not respond in relation to the eidolon. It is good to know that you do not see it as evil as -they- do. It only wishes to see the world survive, as you."

"In essence, my zealotry for The Order is a reflection of my commitment to a world that is just, peaceful, and thriving. It is a declaration of my willingness to fight for what I believe in, to stand firm in the face of adversity, and to work tirelessly towards the realisation of our collective ideals. It is this zealotry that defines me, not as a fanatic, but as a devoted servant of a cause greater than myself, and as I said before, anyone can see themselves as a zealot for their own cause," Harriet cries out as she's fighting traditionally-garbed phi.
