Intro Log: Eat Your Veggies

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!

"Even with ambient light, there's no reason solar wouldn't technically work, but you're right in that it would probably be even less efficient, never mind the lack of solar cells and the difficulty in constructing them from scrap," Marian feels the need to correct for clarity... and maybe to be just a little more right.

Still, she's seen what there is to see here, and standing around talking isn't going to do any good. "I'll let you know when I'm ready to make some modifications and run a line out to another building. I assume you still have the tools from putting it together in the first place?"

While she isn't entirely wrong... Eh. Shrug.

Knowing a little more about this Marian person makes Rey slightly less adverse to her assistance. They could certainly use some more capable around here.

"Yes, of course. Am pretty good working with metal, too." It helps when you have hands that can melt certain material and structure it to whatever shape you want. Just takes a certain level of finesse.

"Hmm. Okay," Marian says, clearly a little less certain. She's not sure about that, but she'll just have to see. At least if the armory is stocked with medieval weapons, there should be lots of steel available.

"I'll give you a call..." well, when is going to be an interesting questions, so she leaves it ambiguous. "...later."
