Intro Log: Puddle Jumpers

[hadrielmods]

Who: New arrivals and everyone else!
What: The intro log for September
Where: The colosseum and all around the city.
When: September 10th-13th
Warnings: Fresh meat, lots of rain and angry ogres

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!

[ Now that's interesting. Kettara listens carefully. ]

You have measure of their power? A true measure?

[ This is worth knowing. ]

Liches are -- powerful. But they die. They die in the legends.

[restinglichface]

Sorta.

[It's complicated, but what the fuck in this place isn't?]

Best example I can use is when I needed a new body - long story - Hope couldn't just create one for me. He had to get a picture, had to see what I looked like. Not like we hadn't talked before that, but even so, what kinda god can't keep track of the folks they are in charge of? That crosses off omniscient immediately. And I've seen at least one die.

[There she goes. She gets it.] They aren't invincible. Liches are hard to kill, but it's possible.

[oldtonew]

Even the titans can be killed.

[ Even demons and the masters of the Burning Legion have fallen. It has been done and if needed, it will be done again. Kettara regards Lup for a moment, thinking. ]

I will meditate on this. Perhaps the ancestors will grant me wisdom. I don't -- I don't know what I'm meant to do in this place.

[restinglichface]

Fair.

[No one really has guidance on how to live through their time here. Sometimes you just need to focus on simply living.

Lup rises to stand, a hand reaching up to casually flip her bangs out of her face while she regards the other woman.]

The name's Lup, if you ever need any Hadriel advice. I've been here for awhile, I know how this place operates.

[oldtonew]

Thank you.

[ She means it sincerely, blinking up at the woman. ]

I am Kettara. A shaman of the Earthen Ring.
