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 snorts, darkly amused. So he's like her, dead in an old life and now stuck here. There's no way to know whether it's a cruel irony or just another twist of fate.] They'll be very put out if you say that to them. They like to think they're kind.

[Her opinion of that is not subtle.]

It's quite simple. They feed off human emotion. And they're hungry.

[It's clear Maketh has no love for these deities and judging from what he witnessed at the coliseum, Regis can sympathize.]

Their cruelty will be paid tenfold if they believe themselves to be infallible. Us mortals are not their playthings. [He says sternly with a hint of fire within his words. The King of Light isn't amused.]

Their time of reckoning might be upon them. We shall see.

[If he's being truthful, then Maketh may have found herself an ally. One who understands the machinations of politics and playing to crowds. Interesting. She thins her mouth and finishes her sutures, leaning back to examine her work.

Hmm. Acceptable.]

Perhaps. We have made moves against them in the past. Thus far, our efforts have proven ineffective.

[She leans back, watching him.]

Of course, you may grant our men something we've been lacking. I do not know. I am only a guardswoman.

[It's true to a certain extent. She's a guardswoman now, but once--that was a different story all together.]
