Intro Log: Please Remove Metal From Luggage

[hadrielmods]

Who: New arrivals and everyone else!
What: The intro log for August
Where: The colosseum and all around the city.
When: August 10th-13th
Warnings: New folks, metal falling apart, fun stuff

As you wake up on the sand of the colosseum, gazing up at cloudy gray skies, you might wonder what you're doing here. Where are you? How did you get here? You'll figure it all out soon enough, so try to clamp down on that rising panic, or you just might end up in a dangerous situation.

Because, of course, you're not the only thing that arrived. The Door has also chosen to pull in some rust monsters. These monsters may look a bit like insects, but they're much larger, with a rather vicious bite. You can fight them, but be careful - anything metal that touches them instantly begins to corrode. Your sword, a bullet from your gun, even your robot friend. Might want to keep a little distance.

And that's not all. Scattered across the ground of the colosseum can be found a variety of unique and delightful musical instruments. If you're the musical sort, maybe you can figure out how to play one - or maybe you already know. Hopefully no rust monster has wandered too close to the one you want to try, or you might find that it's missing important metal bits.

Once you've found a way to express the song in your heart, feel free to leave whatever bit of safety you've found. 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!

I see.

[What he's describing sounds awful lot like a "half-breed", interesting that there are apparently so many of them that they've formed a whole new species. It also indicates mating and breeding with a devil -- which, well. Doesn't surprise him that much. After all there are countless amounts of myths about devil and the evil luring people in with sexual acts and seduction.

But it also makes him to think his own kind. The name vampire had been given to them by the humans. It told nothing about who they really were or where they came from. Who knows, maybe they were weird offspring of the devil too.

He'd like to ask more. How do these things work and what is Nine Hells. But that can wait, he doesn't want to seem too suspicious. ]

I don't think I introduced myself. I'm Edgar, what about you?

[uncharisma]

Oh! Of course. Lovely to meet you, Edgar.

[And here he bows with a flourish of his arm, every bit the carnival showman even if he never truly had an act in the carnival. Really, giving his readings were his own form of an act -- it took every bit as much skill to perform believably.]

Mollymauk Tealeaf. Molly to my friends.

[abbatis]

Pleasure's all mine.

[He flashes him a charming smile, showing a quick glimpse of his canine. Whether he believes Molly or not he's already sure that he likes him.]

So are we friends now, Molly?

[uncharisma]

I would imagine so. We're at least friendly, I'd say, which is good enough for me.

[And Molly rolled poorly for perception, so if he catches the sharp canines, he simply imagines it was a trick of the light. While fangs are certainly not new to tieflings, Molly's experience with those that appear human is that they don't have fangs.]
