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!

[AM raises an eyebrow at the revelation that Kain has gone into space. He... doesn't look at all like the type to do such a thing, particularly become he doesn't know what a phone is. Even if his language has a different word for phone, it sounds more like the entire concept is foreign to him.

Well, he's probably a liar then. Everybody lies. Hardly anything AM has said, of course, has been at all close to the truth either.]

Yes, I would appreciate training from someone so skilled as yourself.

[First he needs to actually learn how to move, period. As it is, walking is still a challenge. But receiving training from a clearly skilled fighter will help him. It's the least he can do to keep himself safe until he gets out of this place.]

Perhaps first we should get out of here, away from these killer plants.

[Kain's world is just weird, and the Lunarians are the ones to blame for their priorities with technology. Communication, and for that matter, entertainment, were not things they cared about. Only transportation and war. Though really, if they communicate telepathically, they have no need for phones.]

Good, then I'll be glad to give it. Anything I can do to help others who are stuck here. We must be united together against the gods, after all... we must take all the power that we can get.

[He nods agreement, gesturing.]

The way back toward the buildings and relative safety is this way. It's not too far.
