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!

[ Well that's. Not entirely accurate, they do know how to kill them. And there are probably godkillers still hidden in the city, but Drake moves on. He has no interest in killing the gods, not at this point. The conversation is moving past that. ]

If you trusted one human to feed you, you can trust another. I'm telling you, attacking people is a bad plan. That trance thing you did to me? Thinking I wouldn't figure it out? You're incredibly lucky that I had a secret of my own to keep -- the next person who realizes they were snacked on could make an announcement to the city and then what are you going to do?

...I'd deal with Hope for you, if you trusted me. It can't hurt to try it, right?

[Edgar opens his mouth to counter. He would like to trust another human being but they both ought to know how unlikely that is. Humans can't be trusted. And that he's survived this long already and that he has his ways to survive.

However, all of that is left unsaid when Drake tosses out a sudden proposal. Edgar blinks once and twice and then closes his mouth, looking at the man with his eyes full of disbelief. His shoulders stiffen and he presses his back against the wooden wall behind him.]

You think they'd do that? Provide me a human sacrifice whenever I go hungry?
