To all citizens of Hydlaa:
Peace and quiet in Yliakum is, and always will be, one of the Octarchy's highest priorities. Recent
reports of wild creatures being released within city walls and causing chaos among citizens have
reached the ears of the Octarch.
Rest assured that these raids shall not compromise the safety of the city for the guards are always
vigilant and ready to repel any attack. However, despite their swift and effective action in the past
few days to control the raging creatures, some civilian casualties have occurred. Therefore, all
citizens of Hydlaa are advised not to leave their homes unarmed in case of another beast attack.
The city guards have been ordered to deputize capable citizens who might be of aid to defend the
city and investigate the cause of these random raids. All volunteers should report to Lieutenant
Jefecra Harcrit for further details.
[Please post what your characters have witnessed or heard, their thoughts and theories, screenshots, and any other IC entry. This is not an event discussion thread and all OOC posts will be removed.]

"I saw them," says Siteri Kidachi Azamace. "They seemed to be coming from the sewers, but when I went down there to investigate I found nothing unusual... Maybe I just wasn't looking hard enough. If only my mother were here, she might be able to help- she trains animals."
"Oh, the monsters... They were scary! They hurt me and Nal pretty bad..." says Eretelien Yezhmi.
-
Zwenze went on the plaza and saw a huge crowd of people who chatted excited. He jined by what has happened. The people told him that monsters raided the plaza. He got told that they were comming from the sewers. He chatted with the people but the crowd dissolved soon.
-
Kaerli mutters "What in Xiosia's name was that? They were sewer monsters and seemed to be coming from the sewers, but the monsters were normal when you went in to any depth! I wonder if someone was stirring them up intentionally..."
[btw, why was I getting "You cannot attack blabla" messages over and over during the event when I tried to attack something before it took a swing at me? :detective: ]
-
Timmothy grins maniaclly, "They were everywhere! I was just in the Tavern, minding my own business, when this one rat charged in and started attacking everyone. Then a bunch of gobbles came, and Allola went out and starting attacking them, so I decided to help, and I can fight!" He nods vigorously, "I know, amazed me too!" He continues with a wide smile, "Then I went down to the plaza to help the fight, and there just seemed to be no end to them. No matter how many we killed, more just came." He has an overly happy look pasted on his face, "It was great! All the casualties were just citizens who had huge egos and bit off more than they could chew," he shrugs, "It's their own fault they died."
[And you had to challenge the monsters to fight them as they were not NPCs]
-
News of beasts raiding the plaza reach the ears of Lord Dyaz. "Beasts coming from the sewers?", he thinks. A smile draws across his face. "Luckily, I never go there... It'll be better to leave the hunting to the youths. They are so eager...", he tells himself staring into the fireplace of his manor.
-
Ixala is sure she saw the Queen Purrty caught up in the mandibles of a Tefsung, and knocked unconsious... she quietly chuckles to her self as she watches from a small hiding place, Lolitra's body carried off towards her toofle home.
-
A young female Nolthrir looks worried as she remembers what she experienced yesterday. "I had just entered the plaza to deal with someone there when a Tefusang suddenly rushed towards me! I fled into the water of the fountain and thankfully the Tefusang seemed to be afraid of water as it didn't chase me there. I quickly retreated to the outer areas of the plaza then and watched with wide eyes as more and more fighters ran onto the plaza to fight the beasts. But after I had recovered from the first shock I just quickly left. I'm a young and unfortunately weak woman, no fighter, so there's no use in risking my life with enough strong folks around. I want to say thank you to all those brave men and women who did their best to keep the city safe. I hope if this should ever happen again I will be able to at least assist those who get wouned in their brave fight for the safety of Hydlaa by offering some healing..."
Her voice trails off but a look of determenation reappears on her face as she clutches her glyph sack tightly in one hand.

Edgar Eranor the dremorian has told me this story of yesterdays events that he witnessed: He was minding his business running some errands for someone at the Inn when he noticed all these noises of battle. They seemed to come from the sewers, or from the plaza, he was not sure. Then he was just leaving the Inn to go to the temple when a large and disgusting Tefusang ran in front of him chasing some scared citizen. He followed the Tefusang as it stopped chasing and turned around and entered the Inn. At first the beast didn't seem to be aggressive so Edgar approached it and began to study it. He had a strange, sudden, realization from the expression on it's face and some other hints in the beast's behavior that it was controlled somehow by a human mind! It may seem strange, but I assure you that this is what he felt. He then proceeded to ask for the hand of the beast in marriage, to try to appease the monsters rage. But alas! he didn't manage to finish his sentence when he was struck in the head by one of the great claws of the beast. He was unconscious for a while, a strange near-death experience, and as many people in this realm have told of, he managed to return from the realm of the dead. However he did get something from all of this: a Tefusang tooth! He likes to show it to anyone interested.

Monala hears the rumour from a very nervous-looking adventurer while she's out in the wild, hunting. She frowns deeply, "Ye mean I coulda' stayed in town to get these accursed hides?"
The adventurer who told her nods and says, "Yes, milady,".
At length, she loudly utters a thoroughly un-ladylike word in the Ynnwn language.

((No need to curse, the monsters were not lootable))
Elvors came to Hydlaa plaza, noticing a lot of people... and a member of the Guard... and rats and tefusang between them.
Well, Hydlaa citizens need protection, so it's swords out and get those monsters down as quickly as possible.
But one thing is still nagging him: those monsters looked as if they were just terrified and fleeing. Every single one of them. They must have been fleeing something in the sewers - but what?
A quick search through the sewers showed nothing - except a terrified Tefusang that was frozen in shock. ((Or, more likely, overlooked by the GMs ;) ))
Well, spending more time in a fruitless search would have been senseless, but Elvors hopes to be there if (when?) that larger menace comes.
-
[Yeah, but Monala didn't know that you couldn't get anything from them :P]
-
Kaerli grumbles something about a mysterious attacker with three-toed footprints attacking an Octarchical guard and nearly killing him...and then a chilling feeling of being watched while on the way out.

[ I reworked this from events in Astias logfile - hope you like it and please forgive any typos or grammatical errors as i dont do this often ;) ]
Astia had been chatting with friends for a while in the street leading to Kada Els Tavern and hadnt payed much heed to an odd rat and gobble that were running about acting oddly, a fleeing Gobble hissed at Diniqule and then cowered from Siteri. She only thought it unusual for these creatures to leave the nearby sewers when so many folk were about still. Astia called after the young menki "run straight home to momma now child". The group waved after the Enkidukai girl who ran off down the street with the agility of their race. They then turned toward the Tavern looking forward to much needed refreshments. Astia entered and walked to the bar catching Allelias attention and greeting Halifae Glevern when suddenly the place was in an uproar. She hadnt noticed the hoard of rats and gobbles that had suddenly invaded the very bar room of Kada's behind her. Instinct threw her hands up against a marauding rat that jumped at her, she laughed as the rat then jumped at Halifae once before running away blindly, terrified. The next thing Timmothy was shouting "HELP! HELP! RAT!" as a hissing Gobble slashed at Thosor with its claw along the bar a little way. Her laughter quickly died as the Gobble growled and hissed as it charged at her but she got a couple good blows in before it hit her very hard, this was bad. Roboki's raised voice agreed as a crazed Gobble stampeded into Jita nearby. A marauding rat charged at Dermathil as Astia winded the hissing Gobble which tried to catch its breath before continueing to growl and shriek. Siteri shouted "They're... too strong! How did this happen..." as Roboki backed away. Now the crazed Gobble ran shrieking from Timmothy as the rat squeeked sharply. "Guards!" shouted Roboki in an urgent voice as a marauding rat snapped at Diniqule. The hissing Gobble turned its attention for a moment on Roboki giving Astia time to wonder if these creatures were under the control of some dark mind, the rat snapping at Eretelien then freezing terrified then suddenly leaping with open jaws would seem to support this idea. These creatures wanted to flee but seemed compelled not to. She leaped for the doorway and the open street but was hit hard from behind. As she slipped into unconciousness her last fleeting thoughts were "ahh the dark realm now i suppose..." but amazingly this was not to be. She came to later in the same doorway not knowing how much time had passed or even if it had all been a dream. Standing at the bar moments later sipping red wine Allelia assured her it was no dream, "I dont know what its coming to, vicious things invading my tavern and attacking customers, furniture smashed and a fine mess ive had to clear up these past hours! Laanx preserve us".

After the plaza was secured, a group of brave citizens led by Jamit Onare, an Octarchal guard, ventured into the sewers to investigate. The group split to cover the area, leaving Jamit alone. Then, from the dark, something attacked...
-Get away from me beast!!!- Jamit shouts- Aaaaaargggghhh!!!!
Thob hurries back to Jamit as he hears his shouts.
-Something attacked me... gather the rest... they are... in danger!
Thob nods and runs but comes back alone a few minutes later.
-I searched everywhere...but nothing- says Thob but knowing he can't give up he salutes and gets on the move again-I will try.
Jamit shouts once more.
- Retreat! Everyone back to the entrance!
Shangshi arrives. He removes his helm as he approaches the guard.
- Are you ok?
- No...-Jamit replies, struggling to speak- Get the others... back... here. They are... in... danger.
- I shall try.- Shangshi says, leaving quickly to gather the party.
A few minutes later the adventurers start to gather around Jamit.
- What is it brodr!?- questions Pirill while Jamit lies on a pool of blood.
- What has happened?- he insists.
- Something... attacked me...
- A monster?
- It... happened... so... fast. I could not see...
Pirill searches his pack for a healing potion. Jamit finds it hard to breathe, coughing blood constantly.
- Did you see where he went?
- No... It was... so fast
Yanlora arrives in the middle of the conversation.
- Err.. where who went?- she asks while Pirill finds a healing potion and gives it to Jamit. The guard makes an effort to drink it.
Pirill turns to Yanlora to explain.
- Powerful monsters attacked the plaza. We tracked them to the sewer but something attacked Jamit.
- Again? I heard about that...- she replies looking at the guard.
Shangshi returns with a few more people and they all start to tell what they heard or saw. "I have been feeling eyes upon the back of my head", Bragan said."Yes, they move in the dark", another said. A few minutes later, Kaerli joins the group.
- What's the reason for pulling back?- she asks.
Yanlora points at the messed up Jamit.
- Ouch. What hit you, or do you not know?- Kaerli asks but her attention quickly shifts to something else.- Footprints- the ranger assessed- but I don't recognize these, take a look at 'em. They aren't like any monster's prints that I've ever seen.
- I shall take your word for it, Kaerli. Tracking was never one of my skills- Bragan replies.
- These tracks are unlike any I have seen before...- Pirill add, fascinated.
- A click... then ...it hit me.- Jamit says.- It was so fast.
- A click...that's bizarre.- Kaerli says.
- Sounds like a mechanical trap- Buruka ponders.
- I do not know... It came out of nowhere...
Kaerli frowns, noticing something new.
- Wait...those prints...they have three-toes and seem smeared as if they were made by webbed feet...-she shudders- Could a Klyros have been the attacker?
- Webbed feet?- Bragan asks- something that lives in water?
- Yes...Klyros are the only things I know with webbed feet.- she replies.
Jamit coughs some more blood, his plate armor pierced on the side, revealing a wound that does not stop bleeding. The stout dwarf is very pale and his wound needs attention. The party then moves out but as they leave, they can't help but feel someone or something was watching all along.

[Hydlaans must've never seen a Nolthrir before, then. :P]

[posted under another Char....I sometimes play]

I must go back there... to help a ... someone.... but fear I will not make it out alive.........
Goodbye........
<the hammerwielder runs off as abruptly as he ran in.. not waiting for a response....>

Phinneas walks up and begins speaking, sounding calm on the surface, but you can hear a note of urgency in his tone.
I am just returning from an expedition in the sewers with a group of concerned citizens. The first thing we found was the remnants of what appeard to have been some sort of camp. As we moved deeper into the sewers, we could hear unusual clicking and croaking sounds.
I was attacked. It happened so fast I had no time to react. All I saw was a glimpse of a reptillian tail. I lay on the floor, dying, but my companions healed me. Shortly after that, it grabbed Santaris. We had to beat if off of him. Again, no one saw anything of the creature except a flash of tail. Gohra was attacked when he went into the waters but he managed to escape. Then, we were all attacked. No one could see the monster. All we could hear were the clicking and croaking sounds. It knocked us to the ground, into the water, all around. Fire was the only way to make it stop! It tried to drag off Hangatyr after that, and almost succeeded. Once again, we had to use fire to stop it.
We decided to see if we could find its nest so we went to one of the water filled rooms to look. It was very hard to see in that filthy water. We were attacked again and again by something with a great number of small teeth. Whether it was one thing or a multitude, we know not. We were all bitten, but no one was killed. After a time, it left, and all was quiet.
Phinneas voice lowers, and you can hear the edge of fear in it.
It was playing with us. Testing us, seeing what we would do. It could have killed us anytime it wanted to but it did not.
Phinneas looks around, spreading his hands, as he says;
Why? Why did it not kill us? What does it want? Are we merely playthings for it?
Phinneas voice deepens, becomes more confident, with a note of resolve;
We must figure out how to beat this thing. We cannot let it slaughter our citizens, our women and children.
Phinneas pounds one mailed fist into the other, looks into the faces of the crowd once more, then heads towards the library to see what knowledge of this beast may lie there.

Webbed feet, voices coming from the walls, frozen in place, seemingly taken over by a Dark Shadow, followed,scared and helpless. Attacked by every creature, from all directions. Messages that I could not attack! Stats disappearing, screams, clanking noises.OMG someone help me!!!!!! I can hear the footsteps behind me, i can see shadows passing in front of me. What is this? Am i going to die? Dare to go in the sewers I tell you DARE!!!!!!!!!!!! Beware, you cannot see the shadow, it is the Whisperer, I just know it is!!!!!!!! BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Aroliim appears hooded and cloaked, her face cast into shadow. When she speaks her voice is harsh and grating, but it seem almost intentional.
"Oh I heard it alright. The footsteps behind me...I knew something was watching me, but just who or what was in question." She chuckles wickedly and spreads both hands "But here I am, alive! You all must have angered this sewers creature..." She tugs once on her hood and wanders off "..Fools."
-
I was with Jamit when the attacks in plaza started we fought long enough to clear the plaza, someone suggested the creatures were being scared out of the sewers, so Jamit lead us down and we broke into groups of 2 to search for the cause.
Jamit stayed back but then we heard him scream in pain and rushed back to him, he lay in a pool of his own blood almost dead, he pleaded for us to leave him and get out of sewers, but that wasnt going to happen we talked him into slowly making his way out of sewer.
Thankfully he was able to make it to top of entrance of sewers by the winch, were he was healed by a potion someone had given him.
He informed us not to go back down in the sewers till he was able to report the incident, so we post a guards to insure no others would venture down in
Only info we were able to conclude was it had three toes and webbed feet, seen a print in the blood
-
Enecota was randomly choosing targets in sewers near Relliom when first heared footseps behind him. They followed him near to a water filled part of the sewers near Gorbiak. Something killed rats and gobbles around, then dragged gobble into water. Tere were more of them and attacked him many times. He decided that place is not safe. He tried to look cautiously into water but only moving shadows he were able to see. Anyone enter sewers o own risk.

(02:25:50) Korenis shouts: YOUR WISHES ARE MY COMMANDS
BEWARE THE SEWERS
-
An Octarchal guard walks determined to the plaza.
-Citizens! -he shouts- Gather up. The Octarchy summons you! Meet me at the plaza to face the danger that stalks the city sewers!
Soon after that a crowd started to gather around him.
- I am here to organize a group of deputies and hunt the creatures down until our sewers are safe again!- he explains.
The citizens surrounding him raise their voices in agreement. Satisfied by the reaction, Viloran calls for volunteers:
- Who answers the call of the Octarch?
The first one to step forward is Ulfer, followed by Hanace, Thinzall, Gnarrly and Tharback.
- Are you ready to rid Hydlaa of all the creatures in the sewers?!- Viloran shouts, rallying the volunteers.
- Aye!
- HUZZA!!!!
- YEA!!!!!!!
- AYE!
- ATTACK!!!
- Let the blood of our enemies fill the sewers this day!- Thinzall says. Excited by the enthusiasm, Viloran continues:
- Are you willing to spill the blood of every single monster down there until not one of them is left alive?!
Once again all the men cry a bloodthirsty "Aye!" as one.
- Stop!- a voice cries as a flash of light suddenly interrupts the gathering. When the light dissipates, a small Nolthrir woman stands before the confused group. She bares the signs of Xiosia. Viloran cusses in silence.
- Out of my way, Nolthrir. This official business.- Viloran says bitterly.
- The creatures have all the right to be alive! Just as any other man or beast!- she explains
- But they are killing citizens- Hanace explains.
- Didn't you at some point, Hanace?- she replies, her eyes fixed on the menki.
- They attacked me, hunted me like some beast. I want retribution, I want their heads!- Ulfer says.
- What are you talking about woman? There are monsters down there and must be killed!- Viloran intervenes again.
- If you kill them all, the balance of nature will be upset.
- The balance of the city comes first!
Viloran thought it would be easy to rally the citizens and raid the sewers, killing everything on their path but now that priestess was on their way. He was not sure yet whether to stomp on her as well or spare her. In any case, the group that up until a few minutes ago was ready to follow his orders unquestioningly now hesitated and looked at each other for a consensus.
- Perhapse some could be tamed- Tharback says.
Ulfer waves his hand dismissivly. -Nature.. pah! -he utters.
- Why would you want to kill all the creatures? -she asks - You may find you're unable to fight them...- This last comment did not please Viloran.
- What do you mean, priestess?- he asks, tempted to strangle the woman.
- Nature is a large force, and Xiosia will protect everyone to her best ability.
- You and your riddles! Bah!- he says, frustrated.
- Where was your Goddess when her monsters attacked our city?! Why did she let that happen? -Viloran argues but some men are already siding with her.
- She is right!- Calak yells -What are we to kill these creatures... we should spare them and find a way to coexist with them!
- Spare the creatures?!- Viloran replies widening his eyes.
- Their agressiveness comes from overpopulation -Tharback observes.
- They are outside their natural habitat- Hrothbert adds.
- They are too violent to be compromised with.- Phinneas replies.
- There might be a way to rid them from the city. But I know not of one yet. -The priestess adds.- So we should listen to a priestess and not our weapons?- Thinzall asks.
- Perhaps -Tharback says.
- I cannot believe what I hear! -Viloran says.- I am here to protect this city from anything that threatens it! There is no place for such creatures here!
- Sir, do you have a document detailing your current mission? -the priestess says calmly.
- My mission?
- I think that's the proper way to ask. -she replies. Viloran looks at Avalnis angrily.
- I am bere to protect the city. I don't need any stinking document! My badge is all I need!
- Your badge doesn't hold up in Xiosia's realm, sir. -she says.
- Well, I've never seen Xiosia down these streets so she must live in another city! -he responds, mockingly, causing a few chuckles among the crowd.
- If you are to exterminate any species, the Octarchy must have approved on it. -she replies, her eyes locked on the guard.
He hesitates. She obviously knows what she is talking about.
- Ummm...Kenzel does not want to end a species...no matter how odious... -Kenzel observes.
- Silence!- Viloran shouts, breathing heavily.
- If you have no orders to that effect, go to your superior and get an octarchy approved document entailing the demise or the species, and the why along it. -she says- Otherwise, I'll have to call upon the forces of nature to stop you. At any cost.
- Laanx! You and your Goddess are endangering us ALL!- he responds.
Even though he has lost the battle he is not willing to let things slide so easily.
- Your cheap tricks will not stop me! I shall go se the Octarch and come back with his permission to exterminate all of the creatures! -he promises then he turns to the crowd- Citizens! Tomorrow I shall return with the Octarch's decision. Meet me here to put an end to the menace of the sewers!
- I want ALL the octarchs to sign in.- the priestess demands. Viloran dismisses her, rallying the crowd once more.
- Bring your weapons for no creature will be left alive! Until then, do not expose yourselves to danger!
After saying this, the guard walks away, visibly angry, leaving the priestess behind to celebrate this small victory. He mutters a curse as he hears her praise Xiosia.
[Will the creatures be exterminated? Is there a way to coexist with them? Will a species be wiped off the face of Yliakum? What is behind the mysterious attacks? Join us today (Sunday, July 20 at 21:00GMT) and find out!]

Sarine hears the commotion and quickly gathers her children and heads home, determined to keep them out of harms way,

They don't dwell anymore. ;)

A young male enkidukai walks up limping, he wears bandages on his head and his left thigh.
Have you quenched your thirst for blood, my friends? Are your blades painted red to the hilt?
He waves off, a smile of disappointment passing quickly over his face.
But I'm not here to accuse you, you can judge your actions better than me. What I saw were scared animals chased out of their hideouts. Everybody was shouting, pursuing them, attacking them... Naturally they attacked back, tried to flee, to hide...
He winces as the pain shoots down his leg.
This... this is from the riverling, yes. I understand them: it's hard to distinguish between friend and foe in such a mess. But I tried to talk to one of them. When luckily nobody else was around. And it didn't attack me. It was rather surprised that I didn't have swords in my paws. It hisses at me when it found itself caught in a dead-end but when I told it that I didn't want to hurt it, it glance at me in disbelief and then killed a rat and started eating. Such a brief moment... And then the madness started again: people with weapons in their hands everywhere. Yes, I was attacked by riverlings and these are the mementos of it. But the ones that attacked me were either wounded or provoked by somebody else around me. I never saw them go on a rampage just like that. And I believe that they are intelligent, I have read in the library: they can use tools! What I saw tonight only proves that. Do we have to erase everything that's different or we don't understand?
Naesek shakes his head sadly and hobbles away.

Monala shakes her head slowly.
"At first, I was on the side a' the people that wanted to kill these things. I was lettin' me anger blind me. The priestess had a point...I'm not sure where the riverlings have gone off to, but I do hope they're happy, an' I'm glad I switched sides before I had ta' use me blade.
She jabs a thumb towards the wounded Menki, "An' I'll have ta' read that book he mentioned," she says with a grin, "I'm rather curious about those little guys now."

I was among the group that followed the riverlings out of the city. Unfortunately, we lost them... they scattered into the wilderness on bdroad1,. After that, I turned and headed back into the plaza.
I forgot to take screenshots too. I did manage to get a bunch from the plaza at the end however:

Dajoji: Is the last phase of this event ever going to be written here in story form so that we all can read the what happened? Currently it is like an unfinished book.
-
Hmmm... I was leaving the last chapter up for those who took part in it but I'll check my logs and post something. Just gimme a few days. :)
-
It's hard to write an epic story of events that have already taken place, since it sounds more like I'm just listing them off. :P
-
Are there more nice screenshots? We'd like to post the best on the main page if possible :)

Here is a few I was able to get. Enjoy 8)
