Event Log: End of Arc 2

[hadrielmods]

Who: All characters
What: The event log for the End of Arc 2
Where: All over the city
When: November 25th-December 12th
Warnings: A full-scale battle, including character death, NPC death, and various other ways to suffer

It was bound to happen. The Null warned you, after all, and this has been building for awhile - and now it's here. First comes the initial attack, the agents of the Null attacking Hope's temple. Then, an SOS, warning the city of what's happened: a betrayal, and Hope being injured. Luckily for everyone, thanks to the actions of his guards Hope survives the attack. Unluckily, his attacker, the goddess Delight, escapes and lets the Null in.

Flooding into the cave, the Null will attack anyone who they believe is resisting them. They'll destroy buildings and deploy dangerous crowd control weapons, in addition to their sheer strength and speed. Confusion empties the monsters in the tunnels into the city, to help distract the Null. Some gods fight, others provide safe havens, but everyone is in danger.

After about a week and a half of the attack, Fear summons enough power to teleport the city. This stops any new Null from arriving through the tunnels, but the remaining Null must be hunted down and destroyed, or else they'll signal their location to the rest of their species. The danger will lessen as Null are taken out, but things won't really be safe until Fear moves the city again, so don't get too comfortable.

What will you do? Run and hide? Fight? Help the fighters? Turn on the gods yourself? Whatever you do, it's time to make a decision.

[Usually, Carlisle is on the giving end of such advice, his head clear and temperament even as he sits on the other side of the confessional wall; he's said similar things time and time again to those who would bring him their troubles, hoping his insight would help ease their burdens and give them the needed perspective to find the answer they sought within themselves.

It's much harder for the clergyman to find that answer when he's the one under duress, when the problem is so close to his own heart. He prefers the distance -- misses it, even.]

Thank you, doctor.

[He means that.]

[lifetothefullest]

You're welcome.

[He offers a faint smile, trying to be encouraging.]

I'll leave you to think about it, but if you ever want to speak to anyone, you can always contact me.

[For this issue or any other.]

[tongueamok]

Of course.

[He gives Lance a polite bow, and with another cough, heads back upstairs so the doctor can get back to helping others... and so that he can consider doing the same, despite all his reservations.]
