Edit after the RP ended: Ok, folks, I am going to go through this thread an highlight all clues, and what they meant, and lead to.
IMPORTANT! *edit
As you have found out by now, I started this plague. The rules are like this:
"You have been exposed to the Un-Common Cold [RP] If you are infected or a carrier, put this in your description."
Instructions: Sneeze on people (in a nice way) and /tell them in a shortcut /tell $target You have been exposed to the Un-common Cold RP virus. You may be infected, or a carrier. Read the RP forum for details.
Check back here once every day to see if anyone has news.
Your mission is to find out
where the plague started [this was your first Clue. You were told right out that it had an origin. That origin was Xillix's meeting.], what started it, and how to stop it. NOTE, this is not a 'task' type quest. It will take teamwork, and talking to others. You will have to follow rumors and clues that will not jump right out at you. No one rumor will lead you on the right path. This quest is designed to take a week or more to end, if the clues are followed. Think of it as a scavenger hunt with your life on the line.
NOTE 2: There is no chance in not getting sick if you choose to take part. The virus
targets specific people [that should have told you right away that this virus was being controlled, and not natural.]. Those that do not choose to take part or 'think' they are immune just arn't targeted. They must not be important enough.
NOTE 3: Kran should be
immune (yes, that is a clue)
A big clue, in fact. Kran are resistant to many forms of magic, if you know your settings. The virus was controlled by magic.]NOTE 4: Since everyone can not be ingame at the same time, you may post what you heard ingame or thought was a clue here. You may also keep it to yourself. Should you want to help start some of the rumors, PM me, and we will talk. Note within a note: rumors given out this way will be very vague, and some not even seem to make sense...until you put them with others. You may also post here who you got the sickness from, and anything you think was important about it.
NOTE 5: Other instructions will follow once the propper clues have been found, and told to me in the thread, or in a PM.
NOTE 6: There is not a massive reward at the end of this quest, or even one at all, loot-wise. However, my characters are not heroes, and will not come back to life if they die. They are also not immune to the plague.
SYMPTOMS: as of now, chest pains and sneezing for all. Additional race symptoms
Klyros will have dry skin
Elves (both) will have ringing ears
Dwarves (you are going to love this) will have lost their taste for beer. In fact, it makes them sick. >
Lemurs will not be able to sleep much, and have thinned skin.
Diaboli become sensitive to the light...very.
Enki.......start to shed.
Humans (both) have no extra symptoms.
Kran seem immune, and do not carry the virus. hmmmmm
[I don't know how I could have been more obvious with tis one.]By now the healers of the realm will begin to notice that this does not seem like the average cold that everyone had thought. It is lasting longer than it should, and symptoms are beginning to change from what they should be. The runny noses have vanished, but the sneezing has remained. The headaches have gone as well, to be replaced be pains in the chest.
Oddly, ALL people with the sickness became more ill at exactly the same time, whether two days with the cold, or two hours. It is almost as if something connects all the ill folks together. [you now know this to be a magic compulsion glyph that controlled the virus.] No attempts at healing with magic or potions has helped. The only thing that does relieve the symptoms for a time are the now out of season mushrooms. Very convenient, isn't it?
Also odd, Kran seem to be immune.
There are many questions sounding in many minds. Where did this start? How did it start? How bad will it get? And...maybe the most important questions of all: Who started it...and why?
[[For those of you wondering, yes, I started this plague. Oh yes indeed, a plague. I have been dropping hints and clues everywhere for folks to follow, if they talk to each other, and read between the lines. I do have people helping me in this, such as our nasty friend, Phinehas, and others that will remain a secret until the plot unfolds. If you do not solve this 'quest' in due time, you will all likely die. Not to mention the rumors of... a wipe...
Have a nice day.]]
