Intro Log: Fly, My Pretties!

[hadrielmods]

What: The intro log for May
Where: The colosseum and all around the city.
When: May 10th-14th
Warnings: Flying monkeys! New friends! Prosthetic limbs!

Here in Hadriel, we do introductions right. That means dumping you on the ground of an old Roman-style Colosseum with a bunch of scary monsters and also a bunch of weird shit. Your monster of the day happens to be Winged Monkeys, more commonly known as flying monkeys, from the Wizard of Oz and affiliated stories!

As you may have been able to guess, these creatures can fly and they're rather intelligent- intelligent enough to wield spears and daggers as crude weapons and strong enough to pick someone right up off the ground and fly with them to a perch, where they'll... you know, stab them with their knives and stuff.

Why? We don't know. It's Hadriel.

Just in case you lose a couple of limbs in the process of escaping these critters, we've got you covered. Scattered around the newbies are prosthetic limbs for various body parts. These limbs are all fully functional, even if they look a bit... odd, so if you've lost an arm or two, or a leg, or even a pinkie finger, feel free to grab one and try to figure out how to use it!

Good job dealing with those monkeys! It's kind of a weird thing to be threatening, but clearly someone was afraid of them once. Once you're done, you can explore the rest of the city! Find a house, a new monster, a project to help with, or simply scavenge for supplies. Good luck, and enjoy your stay in Hadriel!

"Ianchus Cepheos," he replies, slipping carefully but eagerly into the springs. He lets out a little gasp at the heat, but he's entirely pleased by it. Once he settles, he returns her smile.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I see we've had the same idea...are you new here?"

"As a matter of fact, I am." She'd been trying not to show how green she was. Margo preferred to seem confident around others, like she had everything figured out before the game even started. It was just her nature. Apparently those with strong intuition could see past her mask, though.

"Got any tips for a very new newbie?" She smiled at him. If she could get the lay of the land, all the better,

Ianchus raised his hands out of the water a little in a shrug.

"Alas, I'm just as new as you. 'Locate the hot springs' was the first thing that came to my mind. But if we made it away from the monkeys and to here we're doing pretty well, I'd imagine."
