Winds of Obsession
Is everyone ready for some more adventure? As mentioned in the Mid-Month announcement, this is where we’ll reveal the details of this month’s event. While the first portion of the event will not have a log component, the second portion’s log will be posted tomorrow, Tuesday, October 17th. Please take a look, and feel free to use this post to plot with your gamemates!
» LOGISTICS
Here is a quick rundown on the schedule and what to expect:
- Timeline: To keep everyone straight as to how this will work timeline-wise:
OOC DATES
10/16: Stormy Skies
10/17: To Her Domain
10/23: Deep Reflections
10/31~11/03: Event FinaleIC DATES
10/16-10/19: Stormy Skies
10/19-10/25: To Her Domain
10/26-10/31: Deep Reflections
10/31: Event Finale
We’re posting logs a little earlier this time around compared to their IC dates, so hopefully that will give people more time to play with the event and get their tracker results in! - Logs & Posts: There will be two logs and two signal posts for this event. See the dates above for their IC and OOC timing!
- Stormy Skies. This first part of the event, signaling the changes on the island, will not have its own central log, but feel free to make your own posts during this time!
- To Her Domain. The second part of the event is a log for all those traveling through Aiada’s domain to investigate the source of the mysterious beams keeping her asleep.
- Deep Reflections. The third part, also with its own log, is a continuation of the investigation as the group finally enters their destination: an old temple of Aiada.
- Event Finale. The last part of the event will be another signal post, and though it will not have any new prompts, players may use it to react to the outcome.
- Stormy Skies. This first part of the event, signaling the changes on the island, will not have its own central log, but feel free to make your own posts during this time!
- Emotion tracker: In order to determine the prompts and outcomes for the third and fourth portions, we have set up a designated tracker for the emotions on Aiada’s spectrum. Please try to get in your submissions as soon as possible to shape the event! The ET will be live starting on the 17th of October.
- Stone tracker: In addition to the emotion tracker, we will have a tracker for the stone orbs that relate to the temple doors. This will also influence the outcomes of the second half of the event, so make sure to comment to the form linked above!
» EVENT DETAILS
While Aiada herself will be asleep for the duration of the event, the effects of her overly-positive state will be obvious to everyone on the island and those who go to investigate the surface. Those aligned to Aiada will have to be especially careful to avoid being affected!
On the Island: This time around, the island and Verens will wind up being the calmest. At least, after the initial trouble subsides on the 19th. Aiada will not be available for contact, but her sleeping form will be visible high in the sky. It might be best to keep an eye on her, and perhaps a lullaby or two would help.
Traveling on the surface: It’s clear that the bubble is going to need some help, so a trip down to the beams origin point is planned quickly and efficiently. Luckily, it seems as though the area is somewhere familiar, a location that a few people may have been to before. Unfortunately things have changed a bit since this area was introduced, thanks to Aiada’s imbalance. It’s going to be dangerous.
- Time for some fun...gi Characters will first have to make their way through a dense area of jungle that has become a haven for mushrooms, lichen, and other fungi. But be careful: the spores spread by these enormous fungi will stick to characters and cause jealousy to grow in them, possibly to the point of sabotaging their allies!
- Watch out for that— The next leg of the trip will take characters through a treacherous system of bridges that are already unsteady enough on their own, but they’ll have to deal with reaching vines waiting to pull them off and pixies with miniature weapons who try to steal appreciation and envy with every savage poke.
- Hanging around. Past the bridges can be found a large cave system carved out by root trolls, creatures made of rocks and plants that will capture characters and hang them in pods, leaving them temporarily helpless. Others will have to fight off the trolls to rescue the kidnapped victims, fire being the most effective tool. However, those who are captured will be influenced by strong feelings of envy that’s not very easy to shake off. At least until they reach the next area...
Temple base camp: Sign of a clearing means rest, but one can't relax too much. At the temple's base, characters will have the opportunity to rest and recover. There are some areas that can be explored for foraging purposes, but the most important task while at the base is opening the doors to the temple.
- A reprieve. There’s so much that’s happened already, luckily the area around the temple will be a good spot to rest, and a chance for the adventurers to gather themselves to figure out the next steps that face them. They can even find a variety of helpful mushrooms nearby, though they’re mixed among a few varieties of poisonous fungi.
- Obelisks again? Stone pillars that feed off jealousy can be found at the temple base camp. Characters can rest their bodies, but their brains have to continue working; the obelisks need to grow to activate beams of light to reinforce the barrier around Aiada and solve the conundrum involving the door of the temple. However, the slightest deviation into more positive feelings could be disastrous for the obelisks.
- Reminds me of a puzzle. Regrowing the obelisks might seem like a mind-boggling experience, but what comes next will make people think even more. To successfully open the door to the temple, stones need to be retrieved from jade trees and rolled towards the door to be put into place. But in order to get the stones in the first place, they must first either share jealous memories or fight the monstrous trees. While there will be no reaction from the stones or door at first, characters may make a connection between the beams and the pieces of mirror scattered around the clearing.
Inside the temple: TBD! We will reveal the details of the temple itself alongside the log itself on the 23rd and add them here.
End: Who knows! The outcome will be shaped by the trackers, we highly encourage everyone to submit to the ET!
