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!

Yes, they've spoken to the residents of the city several times. I've spoken with two- Desire and Tranquility personally, but there are others. I know there is Hope, Rage, and Confusion as well.

I don't believe them to be true gods however. Merely powerful beings.

[Hux clasped his hands behind his back stiffly. He didn't even try to fake empathy- he had only tried to fake it once in his life and it hadn't been very convincing. Anyone who was halfway observant would know it was a terrible act and this man didn't look to be fool.]

Hux. And you are?

Powerful beings? [A thoughtful sigh escapes Regis as he starts to make his away from here. While all the chatter is welcoming, he needs to make his way towards a local clinic. This bad gash upon his leg is hurting a bit more now. It's worrisome.] Well that certainly leads me to question their supposed godhood here and now.

The only deities I ever known where the Six and they do not don the same names as the ones you've mentioned.

[The king comes to a slow halt as he glances over at Hux with something akin to a smirk. It fades ever so quickly and becomes more like a frown eventually.]

Regis Lucis Caelum.

I'm sure you'll realize the same in time when you speak with them as well. They seem rather open to discussing their limitations which either seems foolish or arrogant. [he hasn't decided yet, he won't lower his guard.

He glanced at Regis, noticing the king moving away. The man seemed to be in pain and clearly needed medical attention. Hux wouldn't stop him.]

Well, then, Regis, unless you die on your way to the clinic you can contact me over your device. I'm sure our paths will cross again.
