Day 236 Event: INVASION
Mar. 15th, 2024 02:00 pmAlright Mod Rin, what is this event you've been teasing for ages?
I'm glad you asked, dear nebulous version of my player base!
Remember Helen?
Yeah, we all remember Helen.
She's a bitch.
But she's about to become even more of a bitch. :D
Okay, in all seriousness here is what's going to happen on Day 236, details, and a post to do some plotting with others should you so wish to.
On the morning of Day 236 a broadcast will come over the radios in the settlement. An unfamiliar voice will warn the settlement that 'some kind of convoy' is heading towards the southern gate of the settlement down the road that runs along that route, and that they're not coming for amicable peace talks. Before anyone can get further answers from the voice, they've stopped responding.
And they're right. The moment the convoy arrives at the gate they are not going to wait for a welcome in. A massive vehicle with a huge drill-like attachment will begin to tear at the gate. The moment it's open, no matter how much the residents inside try to fight them back, a huge group of bandits as well as the Tainted that Vicious has been hunting will stream in. They are invading, and they are here to absolutely wreak as much havoc as possible.
Worse off, it seems Helen or someone has managed to quite literally synthesize what the Mist is made out of, and those Tainted are specifically targeting those they have so far deemed 'heavy hitters' and 'major problems' for their group. Why it's come down to this is not known, but Helen is out for blood and she's going to get it in spades...
Below I've listed the pertinent details about the Tainted, what the synthesized Mist does, and some other information about how the event should play out.
What Does Synthesized Mist Do?/How is it Distributed?
Basically take the usual effects of the mist (gradually lowering energy, sapping of strength and abilities, cut off from magic and other such connections), multiply it by at least four, add on some lovely bodily effects such as fluid in the lungs, extreme fever, pneumonia-like symptoms and you've got what this concoction will do to people.
The Tainted and some of the bandits will have syringes filled with the stuff - an inky, gross black goo that burns like hell when it goes in. The more dose injected into someone, the worse the effects, and yes, some people can die from getting a full syringe of the stuff.
(Of course character death is entirely option. No one has to die.
But I know some of y'all are just as cruel as I am fufufufu~)
There are those that will be targeted for sure (as listed below) but anyone can
run afoul of this mess. That said it does also act as a poison of sorts and can have some of the effects mitigated by any generic video game-style antidote. It is not a complete cure but it makes the effects and duration less.
Who Are the Tainted?
🗡️ Leader: Helen
Power: Mist Mouth, conjures mist from her mouth that when inhaled acts as a particularly potent and quick-acting version of the Mist.
General info: Blonde, scarred face, eyepatch.
🗡️ Basile
Power: Mist Claws, fingers stretch into black, boney claws that drip a poison like the Mist
General info: Skinny in a wiry sort of way, short shaved hair, drawling accent
🗡️ Marie
Power: Psychic Mist, causes confusion for an individual person, makes them see enemies instead of friends, messes with their cognitive abilities
General info: Short, straight black hair, "mischievous" smile
🗡️ Michelle
Power: Mist Vines, entangles and stabs with thorns that cause mist effects on a lower grade
General info: Wavy brown hair, average height. May be recognized as one of the bandit leaders from days past.
🗡️ John
Power: Mist Spikes, makes black spikes erupt from the ground, can follow a target for several feet
General info: Heavily built, tall, bald and has several tattoos. May be recognized as one of the bandit leaders from days past.
🗡️ Kade
Power: Mist Duplication, basically what it says on the tin. Duplicates herself with semi-solid projections that can be used to attack.
General info: Willowy, tall, short curly brown-black hair
🗡️ Trey
Power: Mist Shield, the most defensive of all the powers, though he also fights with a sword so he is not entirely without offense.Basically the worst Paladin ever--
General info: Average height and weight, long tied back blonde hair
🗡️ Aleena
Power: Mist Legs, black arachnid-like legs that allow for rapid movement over many surfaces, can also pierce skin to cause a mid-grade mist effect
General info: Short but muscled, mid-length ruddy red hair
Who is Targeted?
While this is not a comprehensive list and you are welcome to put your character on the list (or even have them get messed up without being a target), these are generally the ones Helen has come to consider "a problem".
🎯Vicious (He's literally at the top. Circled. Multiple times.)
🎯The WoLs and some of the WoL adjacent (Alisaie is on the list but Alphi isn't because he's known as a healer more than a combatant right now)
🎯Rin Okumura
🎯Silverwing
🎯Aisha Landar
🎯9S
🎯Kaine
🎯Allen
🎯Zephyr
🎯Mikleo
How Do We Thread for This?
Since there will be so many mostly-nameless NPCs running about, plus the ones that are named, I (Rin) will be unable to give NPC replies to most threads. In this case the threading of actions during the fight will be up to you. Similar to the Banshee attack the best method will be to set up your own threads, either open or closed, and thread amongst yourselves while taking control of the NPCs.
That will include the other Tainted with the exception of Helen who will be my responsibility. Helen will have her own thread at the top of the event log that I will be responding to. The rest will be open for other players to control in their fight threads. If you're unsure about anything, I'm here to help.
Anything Else?
I think I've covered everything, but as always, feel free to drop me a question either in the discord or down below.
Remember, the day of the event will be a separate log going up on April 1st. This post will be for plotting and questions only!
Enjoy the chaos, everyone. c:
