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!

[His own brow furrows at the movement, the tone in the elf's voice. Dorian doesn't know him at all, and certainly doesn't know him well enough to make any assumptions, but nonetheless it's - curious.]

That sounds a touch more dramatic than my own arrival. But if neither of us remember being taken, then - well, I'm not entirely sure what to make of it, I'll admit.

[Dorian very much enjoys research, learning, solving problems, but that all requires information, which they have little to none of here.]

Did your friend arrive with you, by chance?

[illiegetimate]

I confess the very same. 'Twould seem the nature of our abduction is shrouded in a frustrating mystery.

[One he wants to solve as quickly as he can, but he knows rushing head first into the unknown is likely to cause more problems, than solve them.]

I fear they have not, but all the better. They have much more important matters to attend to, than to keep me company in this strange subterranean city.

[Also, he would rather much dislike them being subjected to such horrors, even if they were well within their ability to handle.]

What of you? Has any of your own allies been brought here?

[sparkler]

Indeed.

[And now he feels quite lucky. It's true, it would probably be better for them if they weren't here, but Dorian is very grateful to have allies that he can trust. The value of people who will guard your back in a cave full of monsters is impossible to overestimate.]

A number of my allies have been brought here - some at the same time as me, one only recently. Perhaps at the same time you arrived.

[It seems there's a cycle.]

So it's possible you might eventually find someone you know.
