Intro Log: Eat Your Veggies

[hadrielmods]

Who: New arrivals and everyone else!
What: The intro log for January
Where: The colosseum and all around the city.
When: January 10th-16th
Warnings: Luscious greenery and confused newbies

As has become tradition within the good (well, okay) city of Hadriel, new arrivals will awake on the floor of the half-destroyed colosseum. Confused and disoriented, you may be wondering where you are and what you're doing there. Don't worry! Someone will probably tell you sooner or later, as long as you get out of the colosseum alive.

Oh, right. About that. Along with the poor, innocent, vulnerable new arrivals are a number of other new friends! Well, maybe less 'friends' than 'horrifying monsters', but are you really going to be picky? Wandering the arena are Shambling Mounds. These creatures are large, unattractive piles of vaguely humanoid-shaped vegetation. They hit hard, they can take a lot of damage, and if you're really unlucky they might manage to engulf you with their weird plant bodies. If that happens, you'd better try to get free fast - otherwise they'll just walk off with you stuck inside and kill you later at their leisure.

The Door appears to have cast a wide net for 'plant monsters', and while Shambling Mounds are the only ones that can actually hurt you, it's managed to pull in a number of smaller, less dangerous carnivorous plants. Some of them are even kind of cute! So if you were looking for a pet venus flytrap or a new pitcher plant, you're in luck. Scattered around the colosseum are carnivorous potted plants, just waiting to find a new home.

Make a new plant friend, or get eaten by one, or run screaming! Whatever you choose to do, once you find your way out of the colosseum there's plenty of other distractions. Feel free to go 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!

[Maketh doesn't lower the gun.]</small? Exercise your curiosity on something else. We need the generator. It's imperative for the city's defense.

[einselective]

[It's funny how people are more polite when there's a gun pointed at their head. Or at least in this case, if not polite then at less inclined to make demands. Instead she simply asks:]

Who's in charge of it?

[Really, the only problem is that Maketh might be a bit too close for comfort, but she's not about to move back with the rifle trained on her. Not yet anyway. So Marian stays tense, ready to flee at the slightest hint that the other woman might come within arm's reach.]

[mismanagement]

A woman named Rey.

[Not officially, but it's a good enough answer for now. Rey was responsible for getting the thing set up in the first place.

Maketh lowers her rifle but doesn't put it away. Not yet.]

I am Maketh Tua. Guardswoman. Identify yourself.

[einselective]

[That's a step in the right direction, at least. Marian lowers her hands, and takes a half step back.]

Marian Tenebris. Where and when can I find 'Rey'? Obviously I'll have to talk to her.

[She can only assume that 'guardswoman' is some kind of thing here. The guide doesn't say anything about the Guard, after all.]
