If the rain on your face isn't enough to wake you up in the colosseum, maybe the thundering footsteps and- well, thunder- is. The first thing that you may notice is that it's incredibly wet around here, with winds that could knock you over if you aren't careful and thunder that brings with it a torrent of constant rainfall.
That's all fine though, because the gods saw fit to help you out on your way in and now everyone will be waking up wearing a rain coat! These coats are a little odd, and some of them are downright silly, but we trust that you'll make do. Of course, a few of the raincoats have additional sleeves, neck holes, and entirely too many buttons as well- but hey, it's the best we could do.
Wait, what was that about thundering footsteps? Oh right, as you're navigating your new fashion choices, there are some monsters afoot who will want nothing more than to grind you into a pulp and eat you- well, if you're organic, that is. If you're not organic, then they still want to grind you to a pulp, but maybe not so much the eating part.
Ogres are from many fantasy stories, but these in particular are from the Dragon Age series. With incredible strength and stamina and massive horns, fangs, and a bloodlust for violence, these monsters won't stop until everyone around them is a blood smear on the ground. They're also not too happy about this rainfall either, so be careful not to slip in the puddles as you run away from them!
Once you've splashed around a bit, feel free to run off into the stormy abyss of our islands. 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!► This log covers September 10th-13th.
► Feel free to make your own logs as well!
► All characters arrive with phones that have network communication and the newbie guide installed.
► Please put your character's name and open/closed in the subject line of your starters!

The elements fight one another? How do you make them stop?
no subject
[ Kettara makes a face. ]
Or fighting them, sometimes.
no subject
[she sounds amazed]
no subject
Carefully! We take the powers of the others and use it against them. Or hit them with our weapons.
[ She pats one of her axes fondly. ]
no subject
no subject
[ She shrugs. ]
If you can strike true, then the blow will land. What do you mean, new to weapons? Don't you fight?
no subject
I do, but it's all been hand-to-hand combat. [she shrugs] The group I was with opposed killing.
no subject
[ Kettara has heard of such groups. Privately, she thinks forcing an enemy to live with their shame is worse than killing them outright. ]
That must be difficult, to win without killing. Do you maim your enemies?
no subject
It can be. And no, we usually try to make them surrender. That, or knock them unconscious long enough to lock them up.
no subject
Lock them up? That is no way for anyone to live. You ought to give them the honor of a good death.
no subject
That's the law in my world. They try to rehabilitate criminals. [a frown] Whether or not it actually works is another thing.
no subject
Do you believe in these laws?
no subject
For most people, yes. For others. . . the hate in them is so ingrained, I don't think it can ever be wiped out.
no subject
I think it's better to let people die well, then force them to stay in chains. But that isn't always possible.
no subject
No. It's not. [she swallows hard as she is fighting back against years of ingrained beliefs about punishment for crimes having to be merciful] And there are some whose crimes are--are so bad, dying well is too kind.
no subject
...yes. There are some like that.
no subject
Some, but they're rare. Which is good.

We try to find an answer, regardless. Or live with the results.
no subject
Some people and situations don't leave us with a lot of choice.
no subject
[ No way around that. Or at least not that Kettara has found. ]
All we can do is try to live honorably.
