| Apocalypse I-b - The Retreat
|
2020 July 12th
|
10... 9... 8...
The old year is coming to an end. Some players are gathered in Ezzo Empire squares. There are no guilds here. Only people celebrating the coming of a new year. Comraderie.
7... 6... 5...
The excitement rises with each number subtracted. People hold eachother by the shoulders, smiling up at the enormous letters displayed in the skies by the administration. Other people are at various New Year events. A group of Grunty Races try to make it over the finish line in time to win their prize!
4... 3... 2...
The visual display grows dim for a moment. Someone calls out about a strange building appearing at the edge of Lia Fail. A massive tower on its side? Something... then, a little flicker. And then... a sound.
A single tone.
1...
01010010011100100110100001100001001000000111000001100001011010110111001100100000011001010111001001110010011000010010000001100010011001010111100001101101001000000110000101101010011001010010000001100011011010010110010101101100001000000111100101101111011100100111001001100001
As all Ezzo Empire members realize they are in their Kingdom of origin, gathered at the center of the city...
As something is happening in the skies. Someone running towards them.
OOC This is an Ezzo Empire only event.

|
2020 July 13th

|
| Duty Session 26: Convoy Escort Quest I
|
2020 July 21st
|
Escort quests, the bane of any experienced gamer. Assisting people who are unable to defend themselves as they trudge slowly through dangerous environments on a preset path. When implemented well, they're a chore - when implemented poorly, they're a nightmare.
The merchant guilds and the People of the Land will pay handsomely to see this convoy deliver its goods - and its people - to the destination, and your group is needing to head that way anyway for your own reasons, so it's time to hitch up and hit the road. It can't be all that bad of a quest, right? Two days of travel will fly right on by.
(Note: This Duty takes several IC days to complete.)
|
| Ghosts of Alne
|
2020 July 22nd
|
Silent apparitions stalk the streets of Alne. Ghostly phenomena are whispered of but rarely verified. In the dead quiet of the city spread beneath Aincrad Tower, food appears on tables without a hand to serve them. Sounds echo strangely while light flickers in the heart of empty buildings.
There is a story to be told here.
Interested parties are invited to investigate the southern reaches of the City of Ash for a chance to glimpse the mystery running throughout, while Nureha and her hand-picked scouts have a secondary purpose to their searching, running along the rooftops and slipping through the alleyways as they search the vast abandoned reaches for a place to call home.
OOC Note: Hello, folks! This will most likely be a Spooky Investigation and Random Poking things scene. Everyone is invited as Plant Hwyaden cruises Totally Not Silent Hill for a place to bed down for the night (hopefully with softer beds than the inn. Those things are giving me a crick in the neck.)
To Adventure!

|
2020 July 26th
|
The Landers in the Town of Beginnings seem to have a never ending string of trouble that comes their way. A few of the local Lander blacksmiths have complained that they are struggling to get the raw ore that they need. Apparently, the nearby mines have been overwhelmed with beasts and monsters, making it hard for the miners to continue their excavation efforts. It blips as an optional side-quest with a reward of improving the available resources in the Town of Beginnings.

|
2020 August 14th
|
Att Syne discovered goblins in the forest near Alne excavating what turned out to be an ancient barrow. After recruiting a group of intrepid Adventurers to investigate and successfully raid the camp, they... accidentally sealed the ruin closed, with the goblin in charge and his skeletal minions still inside.
Whoops.
The ruin gets busted open and a bunch of skeletons, goblins, and probably goblin skeletons spill forth on THURSDAY THE 13TH at 7:30pm EST! Be there, or be... I dunno, safely ensconced in the tavern with a warm cup of cider, maybe? I'm not your boss.
(Prior attendance is not necessary to come to Part 2, but it would really help me if you tag the scene so I get an idea of how big it's gonna be!)

| Valentine's Day Festivities
|
2020 August 26th
|
n the past, certain limited time events would usually be announced using bulletin boards or other out-of-game announcements. However, with the approach of Valentine's Day, many of the Root Towns are beginning to put up colorful decorations. Landers dialogue now seems to include mentions of the upcoming holiday. In Japan, it is customary for girls to give gifts to the men in thier lives for this particular holiday, leading to much whispering and gossip amongst the Landers.
While each of the Root Towns are hosting some manner of simple festivities, a more elaborate festival is being hosted within the Ninetails Dominion. Part in thanks for the aid of Adventurers who supported them during the recent Wave of Calamity, and in part to draw more business to the region. Setup has already begun in Dun Loireag for what promises to be a night of revelry.
(OOC: Social event to celebrate IC Valentine's Day. Shop owners/crafters may have booths to sell their wares. Cooks may have food stalls. Adventurers may host booths with games of chance. Socialize, exchange gifts, eat, drink, dance and be merry.)

|
2020 August 27th
|
The Madra Feargach Caverns are one of the early 'dungeon' areas that people ran through in ETO before the Black Wave. It is known for being fairly simple and straightforward, with appropriate challenge ratings and dropping the usual newbie level dungeon loot.
But that was before the Black Wave. Someone has decided to check on the area now to confirm some theories.
It will be mysterious. And perhaps also dangerous.
Olympus oriented scene. Allies of Plant Duck may also attend.

The third Wave of Calamity hits, right as the Fourth Boss is defeated, leading to some unusual results in the midst of the Eastal Free League teritory.
The Eastal Free League has deployed significant forces - and the New World Alliance has launched a sizable strike force to deal with the situation, due to how close the Wave is to their new base of Shibuya.

The Copperpath Mines located near the city of Alne is one of the few copper-bearing mines in the region, and thus both contested as a matter of course and, due to the terrible state of local infrastructure, filled with monsters and bandits and suchlike.
That's never stopped any Adventurer once in their life.

2020 November 25th

Some of the smaller salamander tribes in the Holy Empire of Westlande have begun to report occasional issues with giant ants coming and raiding their camps at night, stealing food, resources, and the most alarmingly, even making off with tents -- regardless of if there are people inside of them or not.
Adventurers have been recruited to begin investigating this matter, and figure out why the ants are suddenly beginning to act so peculiarly. At present, the reports on if the ants are aggressive or not is being rather conflicting. Some say they just take food and leave, others have said that they've been attacked with little provocation, so the hired adventurers should likely be ready for a fight!

|
2020 November 25th

There are plenty of places in Alne that seem to have been left abandoned up until recently. The influx of Adventurers and Landers have caused empty areas of the city to become occupied in quick order. As the city is surrounded by water, it is also particularly prone to infestations of slimes. Landers are reporting that they are having trouble getting water into some areas of the city. They are asking for Adventurers who might be brave enough to face the sewers and waterways beneath the city to clear out some of the slimes in order to help get the water flowing again.

The room seems to be the source of the previous infestation, but now shows a strange glowing arcane circle that refuses to allow them to pass. The Landers have reached out to the Hunter's Guild, seeking capable Adventurers to find out what lies beyond this strange device.
What is certain, is that the spiders in the mines now known as Spinner's End, had to have come from somewhere. Danger lies on the unknown path ahead. Are you brave enough to face it?
