INTRO LOG: FACE OFF

[hadrielmods]

Who: New arrivals and everyone else!
What: The intro log for November. Don't get your face eaten!
Where: The colosseum and all around the city.
When: November 10th-17th
Warnings: Monster-related violence, people lamps, general unpleasantness, mass confusion.

You wake up on the hard earth of the colosseum. By the state of things and the various aches and pains in your body, you've probably been passed out there for awhile. A few things should immediately become clear to you upon an initial assessment.

1. You're not alone
2. You're near other people who look to be in a similar state.
3. You're also near an assortment of human shaped lamps.
4. You're also near something that skitters off into the shadows of the colosseum.

Of all of these alarming things, the skittery object might be your largest concern. Be wary when turning corners or shutting out the lights: the Hunters work best when your vision is obscured, so their gelatinous form is even harder to spot. Their main goal will be to kill people of course, though they prefer to hide in corners and smaller rooms. Watch out when trying to work through the halls of the colosseum to find the outdoors- they're surprisingly quick, and they prefer to kill their prey by opening their face-flaps and wrapping their mouths around your head. Fun!

More information on Hunters can be found here!

Second largest concern? Maybe it's the people lamps. Maybe it's the actual people around you. Whatever it is, be sure to familiarize yourself with it quickly. The devil you know is better than the devil you don't, after all.

All done with the horrible monsters and awkward greetings? Try your hand at exploring the rest of the city! Find a house, find a new monster, or simply scavenge for supplies until your little heart is content. Good luck, and enjoy your stay in Hadriel!

Oh...

[ It's not? Then he didn't get it. ]

Prepared for what?

[smited]

Battle. Likely against whatever monsters decide to show their faces next.

[ he pulls a face. the one's he's come across so far have been annoying to deal with. ]

[dragonbite]

There are bears. But you don't need to prepare for them.

[ It's really easy to just cut them down. ]

[smited]

I may not, but he has never encountered a bear before.

[ which is why the dog needs training. ]

[dragonbite]

So?

[ He had never encountered one until the first time he encountered one, either. ]

[smited]

So he needs to be prepared should that encounter ever happen.

[ cullen huffs, slightly annoyed, and turns back to his mabari. ]

His instincts will only take him so far.

[dragonbite]

Why? It's less work to just take things as they come.

[ It's always nicer to do less work. ]

[smited]

If he isn't prepared, he could get injured or worse.

[ isn't that common sense?? ]

[dragonbite]

Eh, it can happen even if you're prepared.
