OOC News
Life has been hectic for the mods lately, we apologize!

Based on player feedback we have decided the following: the second mod event from last week is being moved to this week, and we will be making changes to the activity rules.

AC will now be done every 2 months, and characters require a total of 30 points to pass OR the total points for all of a player's characters must add up to equal thirty points per character. Due to the unexpected circumstances of this month, we will not be doing an AC for this month and the new rules will go into effect next month.

Additionally, we've decided that from now on we're going to try to only run one mod-event per week. That gives us some leeway if something like this happens again where all the mods end up being busy.



Last Week...

The game timeline is not remotely up to date! We will remedy this when we get the chance.

Sunday was THE LONGEST DAY EVER.

Lisa Martinez was attacked by Greycloaks and put out a call for help. She was rescued by the Ahura and taken to safety in the Undertow.

The Armaiti appeared by falling out of the sky on a giant fuck-off dragon, interrupting Lisa's chase. Siegmund has returned to Zenderael with her.

Nova panicked at Chisaki by text message.

Rhys confronted Reilanin about Jordan's death.

Ravindra asked Ezra for a transfer to the Nenakret and Ezra had the idea to send a detachment of paladins to work with the Amber Gaze long-term.



Next week...

Birthdays & Holidays
Theresa's birthday is on Monday the 12th.

Duncan's birthday is on Saturday the 17th.

Rosh Hashana begins on the evening of Friday the 16th and ends on the evening of Sunday the 18th.

You'll find a lot of American cities or businesses closed on Sunday the 11th due to this being a day of remembrance for the victims of the 9/11 attacks and veterans of the Iraq war.

So Here's the Deal…
Lisa will reveal that there is a magma leviathan named Kaga sleeping beneath Kandre Volcano, and the volcano's sudden activity is a result of his awakening. Nearby areas are in danger if the volcano erupts. She can't say exactly which areas are in danger due to the merging, but Astonea is certainly one of them.

Lisa thinks they have two weeks before Kaga causes a major eruption, but there is a way to prevent this. See, Kaga's been sleeping for a very long time. He's waking up irritated because he's hungry. If they can prepare a feast for him to calm him down before the major eruption, he'll be placated and Kandre Volcano's activity will cease.

Unfortunately, Kaga is a fussy eater. The food must be extremely high quality. Rare ingredients and amazing dishes will be necessary--and in vast quantity. This is a leviathan we're talking about!

Lisa will deliver this news in her safe haven at the Undertow; there is a discussion post for that here. Who's present for the initial announcement and how the news spreads is up to you. Mods will not be controlling the dissemination of information, and though we will step in to organize the feast OOCly if necessary, we would prefer if arrangements arose ICly instead. Please feel free to discuss the details in the comments!

Rocks Fall, (Not Quite) Everyone Dies
On Friday, Kandre Volcano lets out a thick plume of smoke and its tremors create a small landslide that causes minor damage to a nearby town. Astonea, sitting at the base of the volcano, was known in-game for being the closest save/restock point to the Kandre Volcano dungeon. After the landslide it becomes clear that the town must be evacuated, but Pakerion doesn't have the infrastructure for an organized evacuation.

There is a post on the OL comm calling for help to organize an evacuation. Any characters are free to participate, whether they want to help, hinder, or just loot the homes left behind. The event posts will go up on Friday, August 30th is up over here to give everyone some time to get non-event things done and to give the event threads time to run. Both the OL and RL posts will be forward-dated to IC Friday.

Once the evacuation begins, it will become clear that this is a much more urgent matter than originally thought. Geologists are seeing signs of a second, much more massive landslide (which may or may not include lava flow, they can't tell from here), and predict they have only hours to get everyone out of the area. To make matters worse, the volcano's sudden activity is also causing wild fire elementals to grow aggressive. They will harass Astonea's borders and disrupt the evacuation effort. This means the original rescuers may need rescuing themselves!

The second landslide will clear the way into Kaga's lair, making the leviathan accessible for feast arrangements.
