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...

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.

Apocalypse II-B - Westward
|
2020 July 13th
|
The Ezzo Team is stuck on Ezzo, unable to teleport, and can't risk perishing with Ezzo Empire coming apart at the seams. As such, the team journeys on, led by the mysterious Bandit King, with a singular mission. To make it to the 'Install Port' in order to 'Install' a mysterious Shard carried by the black Peko riding male.
|
Apocalypse III-B - Southern Peak
|
2020 July 14th
|
The Ezzo Team arrives at the Southern Tip of the Ezzo Empire, along with the Bandit King. Having left a large swatch of the Adventurers and Landers behind to catch up, they ride ahead in order to 'Install' a mysterious Shard carried by the black Peko riding male. They are however on a timer, as the corruption of the land seems to be speeding up.
|
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!

Duty Session 48: Still Water Bandits
|
2020 August 2nd
|
With the increased trade between the various cities and kingdoms, the Lander traders have also been reporting an increase in Bandit activity. A group that calls themselves the 'Still Water Bandits' has begun raiding caravans and ships. This has caused a slowing of supply lines, as well as damage to the lives and livelihoods of the traders. They are seeking help from capable Adventurers to help clear out a number of bandit camps.
Difficulty: Moderate Rec. Party: 3+ Rewards: 2 World Rewards: Increase in trade route efficiency

Duty Session 54: Obligatory Rat Cellar
|
2020 August 2nd
|
In each of the starting cities, there are at least a couple of poor merchant landers who have developed mysterious rat problems. This is clearly bad for business!

Duty Session 56: Spinner's End
|
2020 August 3rd
|
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.
Difficulty: Moderate Rec. Party: 3+ Rewards: 2 World Rewards: Increases in mining efficiency in Town of Beginnings.

Duty Session 73: Is It Wrong to Pick Up Slimes in a Dungeon?
|
2020 August 8th
|
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.
Difficulty: Moderate Rec. Party: 3+ Rewards: 3 World Rewards: Increases in clean water availability in Alne.

REALM OF THE DIG-LORD II
|
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!)

Duty Session 81: Goblin Scouts in the Field
|
2020 August 15th
|
A porcelain quest has been offered to the Hunters Guild. There's reports of Goblin Scouts in the Eastal Free League region, close to the ruins of a place called 'Shibuya'. The region is largely open fields, with a lot of tall weeds. But there's old roads in the region that still carry some people who go to that region to gather some special herbs that can't be found anywhere else. The request requires the disposal of these goblins.
Difficulty: Moderate Rec. Party: 3+ Rewards: 1 World Rewards: None

The Growling Dark
|
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.

|
2020 September 5th
|
A Lander stands just at the exit of town with a familiar quest marker being offered. Apparently, they need to travel to a nearby location which requires traversing through rough terrain, filled with monsters. So, they have reached out to brave Adventurers to help guide them on their way!
It's just a simple escort mission. What could go wrong?

Duty Session 107: Convoy Escort Quest I
|
2020 October 17th
|
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.)

2020 December 13th
|
After the efforts of many Adventurers to finally clear out the creatures from within the mines on the Isle of Beginnings, the Landers are finally able to return to their work. However, the first miners have reported an unusual room within the first levels of the mine.
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?

A good amount of time has passed, but the Fifth Floor has so far gone undefeated.
